Abstract

In the field of Computer Supported Collaborative Work several studies have explored the possibility to improve the collaboration in software development teams by integrating into IDEs tools to support the coordination and sharing of common resources. Similar studies have emphasized the need of integrating into IDEs collaboration and communication functionalities to improve the building of a shared knowledge. In this paper we describe how we enhanced Rational Team Concert (an IBM CDVE built on Eclipse and Jazz) with structured communication tools by integrating a collaborative platform named CoFFEE, that was developed for structured argumentation and discussion in an educational setting.
