Distributed Software Development can bring several competitive advantages, such as productivity improvement and cost reduction. However, there are some challenges imposed by this distribution, specially related to communication among users involved on cooperative work. In this sense, awareness techniques and context management are used to offer information to users, allowing them to perceive the context where the actions are occuring within the workspace. This work presents DiSEN-CSE (DiSEN-Context Sensitive Environment) model, a context-awareness based model to share contextual information in a distributed software development workspace, called DiSEN. This model defines how environment contextual information can be captured; formally represented to offer semantics to the information and make it easier to create a common understanding among distributed individuals; stored for future queries; and shared among all participants working cooperatively in a development team. To create DiSEN-CSE the focus of this work is offering a basic structure for it, based on three pillars: (i) to identify which set of information will compose actions context and how this information impacts DiSEN behavior; (ii) to create an ontology-based representation model, offering semantics to the information; (iii) to develop a notification manager able to automatically share this information among stakeholders, without user interference.
