Building Ecosystem-Aware Tools Using the Ecosystem Monitoring Framework

Abstract

Integrating ecosystem data into developer tools can be very beneficial but is usually complicated. By automating the routine parts of this task we can reduce the amount of work needed to develop these tools. We have developed a framework that allows developers to quickly develop new tools that use ecosystem data. This framework automates the execution of user-defined analyses on ecosystem projects, allowing the developer to focus only on what ecosystem data is needed for her tool and how to present it.
