“…However, they are not aimed to enable community collaborations in DSL development processes. Other works [3], [1], [4] comment on making more participative some model-based phases of the development process, but they do not present the collaboration as a process of discussion and argumentation in a community as ours does nor they provide an actual infrastructure to enable the collaboration.…”

“…In general, it is wellknown that communication, coordination and collaboration (i.e., social activity) between community members is a good sign to create high quality software [3]. Our aim is to turn the DSL development process into a more democratic process that includes at every phase the suggestions of the user community for which the DSL is created.…”

Abstract-Software development processes are becoming more collaborative, trying to integrate end-users as much as possible. The idea is to advance towards a communitydriven process where all actors (both technical and nontechnical) work together to ensure that the system-to-be will satisfy all expectations. This seems specially appropriate in the field of Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) typically designed to facilitate the development of software for a particular domain. DSLs offer constructs closer to the vocabulary of the domain which simplifies the adoption of the DSL by endusers. Interestingly enough, the development of DSLs is not a collaborative process itself. In this sense, the goal of this paper is to propose a collaborative infrastructure for the development of DSLs where end-users have a direct and active participation in the evolution of the language. This infrastructure is based on Collaboro, a DSL to represent change proposals, possible solutions and comments arisen during the development and evolution of a language.

“…Customer collaboration means that all players-the sponsor, customer, user, and developer-are on the same team (Highsmith & Cockburn, 2001), although this assertion may be questionable for large projects. Other scholars define collaboration as constant and intensive interaction (Hildenbrand, Rothlauf, Geisser, Heinzl, & Kude, 2008). Cummings, Espinosa, and Pickering (2009) relate collaboration with coordination and argue that coordination tools are more effective than direct communication with more predictable and routine tasks.…”

Abstract:One of the four values listed in the Agile Manifesto emphasizes customer collaboration over contract negotiation, yet the literature has not explained what constitutes customer collaboration and how to assess it. Little research has examined the nature and dimensions of collaboration in the context of agile software development. Based on a grounded theory methodology and using interview data collected from five software development outsourcing vendors in China, we explore the nature and key underlying dimensions of collaboration in agile software development. Five major dimensions of collaboration emerged from our analysis: mutual benefits, engagement, coordination, communication, and knowledge sharing. In turn, each dimension comprises key subdimensions that provide a comprehensive view of collaboration. By revealing the underlying nature and key dimensions, we provide a conceptual basis for operationalizing collaboration that one can employ in future quantitative studies on agility and other project outcomes. Our study results suggest that collaboration in agile software development is multifaceted and mutually occurring in both directions between the customer and the vendor rather than single dimensional as the term "customer collaboration" in the Agile Manifesto indicates.
