Abstract

Software evolution researchers have focused mostly on analyzing single software systems. However, often projects are developed and co-exist within software ecosystems, i.e., the larger contexts of companies, research groups or open-source communities. We present The Small Project Observatory, a web-based analysis platform for ecosystem reverse engineering through interactive visualization and exploration.
