A Case Study on the Communication of a Local Software Developer Team

Raw data and scripts for the analysis of the paper "A Case Study on the Communication of a Local Software Developer Team"

The files with the extension "list" contain the communication of the according channel. For example, "talks.list" contains all the recorded talks. The first two columns of a file contains the communication patners, the third column the date, the fourth the time of day. The sixth column contains the duration of a talk, the seventh column the rough topic, followed by the id of the event in column eight. Since often, additional developers entered the conversation, which we recorded as extra event, we have summarized the events to one conversation, denoted by the last column. That is, the last column contains the id of the conversation.

The file analysis.Rmd contains the script that we used to analyze the data and create the plots. We used the library coronet (available at GitHub:https://github.com/ecklbarb/coronet/tree/read-data-from-company). The input data must have the folder structure as discribed in the Readme of the coronet project.

The file analysis.Rmd must be copied in the folder of the coronet library.
