“…We identified that social computing in the area of management is highly used in the form of project management tools [23]. Thus, it is used for managing tasks [38], schedules [7,53], risk [11], knowledge [16], requirements [20], and dependencies with other teams or projects [33,17].…”

There is a continual growth in the use of social computing within a breadth of business domains; such as marketing, public engagement and innovation management. Software engineering research, like other similar disciplines, has recently started to harness the power of social computing throughout the various development phases; from requirements elicitation to validation and maintenance and for the various methods of development and structures of development teams. However, despite this increasing effort, we still lack a clear picture of the current status of this research. To address that lack of knowledge, we conduct a systematic mapping study on the utilisation of social computing for software engineering. This will inform researchers and practitioners about the current status and progress of the field including the areas of current focus and the geographical and chronological distribution of the research. We do the mapping across a diversity of dimensions including the activities of software engineering, the types of research, the characteristics of social computing and the demographic attributes of the published work. Our study results show a growing interest in the field, mainly in academia, and a general trend toward developing designated social computing platforms and utilising them in mainly four software engineering areas; management, coding, requirements engineering, and maintenance and enhancement.

“…As stated in Kákolá [2008zaq;, "the globalization of the world economy is putting increased pressure on companies to leverage information and communication technology (ICT) in order to become more competitive." The trend that GSD involves several organizations for managing the knowledge of companies [Clerc, 2008], and decentralized organizations can cooperate with each other need to identify such best practices. Specific to product line practices, segmented market analysis, domain scoping, and product line acquisition processes are key areas for launching and institutionalizing an outsourcing strategy involving several commercial organizations 10 [Berenbach, 2007].…”

Software Configuration Management (SCM) techniques have been considered the entry point to rigorous software engineering, where multiple organizations cooperate in a decentralized mode to save resources, ensure the quality of the diversity of software products, and manage corporate information to get a better return of investment. The incessant trend of Global Software Development (GSD) and the complexity of implementing a correct SCM solution grow not only because of the changing circumstances, but also because of the interactions and the forces related to GSD activities. This paper addresses the role SCM plays in the development of commercial products and systems, and introduces a SCM reference model to describe the relationships between the different technical, organizational, and product concerns any software development company should support in the global market.

Abstract-In this paper, we present the Global Teaming Model (GTM), which is empirically grounded, and outlines practices that managers need to consider when managing virtual teams. We explain how the model can be adapted to specific areas of software development, and use architectural knowledge management (AKM) as our exemplar. We focus on specific practices relating to how teams collaborate and share essential architectural knowledge across multiple sites. Through a review of the literature, we develop an in-depth view of recommended practices associated with AKM in a global environment. We then consider how we can incorporate these AKM practices into our Global Teaming model to ensure managers are given the necessary support. Our contribution to research therefore is to present AKM practices within the context of all other Global Software Development processes.
