Such a distribution makes continuous collaboration and continuous awareness support a necessity and also a great challenge. Traditional desktop-based approaches are insufficient for the requirements of continuous awareness. In software development practice, an awareness tool on mobile devices is also desirable for team members to obtain the awareness information continuously. This paper addresses how to effectively present collaborative development activities using aesthetic visualization on mobile screens. Our approach supports multiple views suitable for software developers as well as team leaders. A baseline usability experiment and an eye-tracking experiment have evaluated the effectiveness and usability of the visualization method.enCC BY-NC 4.0 (Attribution-NonCommercial)©2015 World Scientific Publishing Co.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/AwarenessVisualizationMobile computingParticipatory monitoring and evaluation (Project management)Software engineeringComputer software—Human factorsarticleChen, Meng-Yao, Cong Chen, Shu-Qing Liu, and Kang Zhang. 2015.
