Description
Summary:The purpose of this paper is to discuss the research issues related to multi-site distributed software development environments. We describe a potential approach in which we utilize 'Ontologies' as part of a communication framework for multi-site distributed software development environments. We organise software engineering concepts, ideas and knowledge, software development methodologies, tools and techniques into an - 'ontology' -, and use it as the basis for classifying the concepts in communication thereby enabling questions, problem solving and sharing solution development and knowledge to be shared between multi-site teams.
