Abstract

Using case-study material from threesmall software development teams, this paper analysesthe regionalisation of ’design spaces‘. Its mainpurpose is to understand problems and practices ofcooperative work in such spaces. ’Configurationmanagement‘ is used to denote both a practice andsupporting software tools and their relationship. Amajor concern is how to develop practices and toolsthat support cooperation across multipleorganisational and social boundaries whilesimultaneously being ‘respectful of regionalisations’.
