Expedia becomes CSDL Affiliate

Expedia, Inc. has become an industrial affiliate of CSDL in order to support the Hackystat research project.

This affiliation is intended to support research and development that facilitates software product and process data collection and analysis using Hackystat in two primary ways:

• Large scale data collection.  Hackystat will be extended and enhanced as necessary in order to support large scale product data collection, on the order of hundreds of thousands of data instances per day.
  
• Project portfolio management.  New analyses and user interface mechanisms will be investigated in order to facilitate a "portfolio" approach to software project management, in which dozens or hundreds of projects must be evaluated and compared.
