abstract = {Open source (meaning the source is publicly available for free) software is helping organisations reach small farmers and rural communities. NGOs can do this at low cost, on a large scale, and without an Internet connection. More people in the developing world have access to their cell phones than to the Internet, making cell phones an important information tool. Created to help NGOs working in developing countries, FrontlineSMS enables users to send out and collect messages to and from groups of people, using only a laptop with a cell phone plugged in. Organisations can use this software not only to get in touch with people in need in places without Internet access, but also to take surveys, hold competitions, coordinate with other staff members, and run campaigns.},

We argue that while rightly stressing human agency they also create a false dichotomy between agential and environmental factors in the explanation. Felin and Foss create further confusion by hinting - without adequate clarification - at an untenable notion of human agency as an uncaused cause. We raise several questions of clarification for these authors. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {The increasing popularity and use of Open Source Software (OSS) has led to significant interest from research communities and enterprise practitioners, notably in the small business sector where this type of software offers particular benefits given the financial and human capital constraints faced. However, there has been little focus on developing valid frameworks that enable critical evaluation and common understanding of factors influencing OSS adoption. This paper seeks to address this shortcoming by presenting a theory-grounded framework for exploring these factors and explaining their influence on OSS adoption, with the context of study being small- to medium-sized Information Technology (IT) businesses in the U.K. The framework has implications for this type of business - and, we will suggest, more widely - as a frame of reference for understanding, and as tool for evaluating benefits and challenges in, OSS adoption. It also offers researchers a structured way of investigating adoption issues and a base from which to develop models of OSS adoption. The study reported in this paper used the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behaviour (DTPB) as a basis for the research propositions, with the aim of: (i) developing a framework of empirical factors that influence OSS adoption; and (ii) appraising it through case study evaluation with 10 U.K. Small- to medium-sized enterprises in the IT sector. The demonstration of the capabilities of the framework suggests that it is able to provide a reliable explanation of the complex and subjective factors that influence attitudes, subjective norms and control over the use of OSS. The paper further argues that the DTPB proved useful in this research area and that it can provide a variety of situation-specific insights related to factors that influence the adoption of OSS.

abstract = {Today's software companies face the challenges of highly distributed development projects and constantly changing requirements. This paper proposes the adoption of relevant Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) practices in order to improve software development projects in industry. Many FLOSS projects have proven to be very successful, producing high quality products with steady and frequent releases. This study aims to identify FLOSS practices that can be adapted for the corporate environment. To achieve this goal, a framework to compare FLOSS and industrial development methodologies was created. Three successful FLOSS projects were selected as study targets (the Linux Kernel, the FreeBSD operating system, and the JBoss application server), as well as two projects from Ericsson, a large telecommunications company. Based on an analysis of these projects, FLOSS best practices were tailored to fit industrial development environments. The final results consisted of a set of key adoption opportunities that aimed to improve software quality and overall development productivity by importing best practices from the FLOSS environment. The adoption opportunities were then validated at three large corporations. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

An expanded version of Gallivan's (2001) framework of contingent authority innovation describes the way new policies extended through the public structure of the country. Findings indicate that Venezuela's FLOSS migration process fuses the agendas of social inclusion, sovereignty, and freedom that the government is pursuing with the availability of a "Free Libre" technology. The present project specifically contributes to the literature that examines information and communication technology policies and their impact on developing countries. In addition, the theoretical expansion of Gallivan's framework can apply to other governmental technological adoptions where ideology and politics play critical roles. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Motivation in the context of open source software may be seen as fundamentally different due to the presence of unpaid programmers, implicit rather than explicit forms of control and a different methodology for software development. Since software development is a creative task, the motivation of open source programmers can be compared to individuals in creative industries (Caves 2002). This paper summarizes the important trends in the research on motivation in open source and identifies variables that should be included in future research. Specifically, the current literature favors a taxonomy that considers two components of motivation--intrinsic (e.g., fun, flow, learning, community) and extrinsic (e.g., financial rewards, improving future job prospects, signaling quality). I make a case for incorporating both elements in developing an integrative theory about developer motivation. Three elements are identified as being unique to FLOSS development-diversity of project structures, co-existence of companies and communities and co-existence of creative and commercial elements. The important empirical evidence on FLOSS developer motivation is presented and analyzed. Four factors are identified as important mitigating and moderating factors in the conversation surrounding developer motivation- financial incentives, nature of task, group size and group structure. The role of these factors on developer motivation is discussed.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

I suggest that the support for non-proprietary software (collectively FLOSS) allows developing countries to comply with their multi-lateral commitments and support the potential development of local software development. Because of the General Public License's dependence on copyright law, the deployment of FLOSS allows compliance with the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) agreement, while at the same time facilitating the development of a local software 'community'. Linux has propelled the development of computer science and engineering in the poorer nations. Linux is the only way most developing nations have to legally access modern and sophisticated software tools, compilers, and programming environments (Bokhari and Rehman, 1999, p. 63).[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

One could argue that Free Software Foundation is using copyright to enforce their free software licenses as aggressively as the Business Software Alliance is enforcing its clients' copyrights. We will show that the reality is more complex and that there is a significant difference: the free software community uses primarily non-legal enforcement methods and trusts on social norms. We argue that free software could be used as a tool to make copyright more accepted in the less developed world because of its positive connection with copyright and community based approach. We explain why strong copyright is also in the interest of free software developers. The article concludes by suggesting that World Intellectual Property Organization should include free software into its development agenda.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Free and open source software (FOSS) brings many benefits to digital preservation; however it is not free. If the context in which free and open source software tools are created and employed is examined, it becomes clear that: the sustainability of any software (FOSS, custom or commercial) to ensure the preservation of the digital heritage will depend on careful assessment of, and provision for, the costs (implicit and explicit) entailed in the production and continued employment of these tools. The purpose of this paper is to focus on FOSS and archiving of the digital heritage. Portico, a not-for-profit digital preservation service, explores the costs of FOSS based on its experiences as a working archive with an extremely long time horizon. There are considerable benefits to FOSS, including its openness and the broad-based testing of it in real-world situations. FOSS tools can provide considerable cost savings over proprietary tools. However, FOSS is neither free to use, nor to create, nor to maintain. Digital preservation organizations must inventory not only the FOSS tools in the preservation arsenal, but the network of sustaining tools (FOSS and otherwise), documentation, and tribal knowledge that make these tools effectively usable. The risks to sustainability of this network of resources must be assessed, and determine what it will cost to keep them viable. Strategies will have to be considered and implemented for providing the means to sustain these resources. An engaged community of use is the best guarantor of the vitality of any FOSS tool. As that community wanes, it becomes even more essential to capture the significant properties and domain knowledge about that tool. Creators of new software in the digital preservation space have a particular obligation to provide and maintain information about the significant properties of that software. The paper shows how Portico brings its practical experiences integrating multiple FOSS tools to bear on an analysis of the costs to creating and maintaining these tools over the long-term.},

Despite the use of machine learning and formal methods to tackle these issues, there remains a notable gap in comprehensive surveys that summarize and analyze both Vulnerability Detection (VD) and Security Patch Detection (SPD) in OSS. This article seeks to bridge this gap through an extensive survey that evaluates 127 technical studies published between 2014 and 2023, structured around the Vulnerability-Patch lifecycle. We begin by delineating the six critical events that constitute the Vulnerability-Patch lifecycle, leading to an in-depth exploration of the Vulnerability-Patch ecosystem. We then systematically review the databases commonly used in VD and SPD, and analyze their characteristics. Subsequently, we examine existing VD methods, focusing on traditional and deep learning based approaches. Additionally, we organize current security patch identification methods by kernel type and discuss techniques for detecting the presence of security patches. Based on our comprehensive review, we identify open research questions and propose future research directions that merit further exploration.},

While these initiatives hold significant promise, they frequently encounter hurdles like poor productivity, leading to premature demise. This study explores activities that contribute to the long-term well-being of public-sector FOSS ecosystems, focusing on public-sector entities as orchestrators and keystone players. A qualitative multi-case study of three ecosystems was conducted, with data collected through interviews, participant observation, and analysis of online discussion forums. The study presents a model for health-sustaining activities in public-sector FOSS ecosystems. Orchestrators and keystone players are found to engage in health-sustaining activities through rulemaking, role creation, and tool provision, hinting at the explanatory potential of Activity Theory. Furthermore, the study identifies key challenges in orchestrating public sector FOSS ecosystems, such as institutional misalignment and conflicting policy frameworks, highlighting these as critical areas for future research.},

abstract = {We study the development of two open source software (OSS) web frameworks to understand how OSS communities shape software novelty and complexity in the absence of strong organizational hierarchies. We examine how projects engage in distinct "discursive modulation practices" to imprint the community's shared core doctrines and design principles onto the software thereby shaping its novelty and complexity. We borrow the concept of modulation from audio synthesis to explain how a preexisting signal-in our case, the ongoing community discourse-is modulated to produce varying sounds-in our case, the novelty and complexity of the software. The concept of modulation offers a lens to understand how emergent, community-wide development activities are influenced by filtering discursive positions and mixing those positions, thereby shaping the artifact's novelty and complexity. Our research shows that the modulation of novelty exhibits a range from "proximal" to "distal" searches for new features, while the modulation of complexity varies between "integration" and "deprecation." By drawing on these concepts, we formulate a theory that explains how modulation results in alternative OSS community approaches to shaping software novelty and complexity and how this process reflects and is reflected in the resulting software artifact.},

abstract = {This paper examines whether open-source software (OSS) provides unique advantages in the entrepreneurial crowdfunding context. The economic model for new ventures with business plans centered on OSS is often counterintuitive to early-stage investors. On the one hand, the non-restrictive OSS approach reduces the barriers to widespread product adoption and collaboration; on the other, OSS is essentially a public good, creating a scenario where anyone can appropriate value from the product without compensating its creators. As such, an OSS approach can dissuade investors primarily concerned with appropriating value for themselves, making it difficult for early-stage OSS ventures to attract investors. However, the rapid rise of crowdfunding has created a communally minded investor base that might instead find OSS projects enticing. We theorize that the attributes of OSS projects align with the communal expectations of crowdfunding investors and thus create supportive environments for OSS-based ventures. We illustrate this alignment through the community-based resource mobilization framework and suggest that the OSS approach yields greater investor trust, leading to superior financing outcomes. Our mixed methods approach blends archival analyses of Kickstarter data with a constructive replication through a randomized experiment, providing consistent support that an OSS approach can be advantageous in the crowdfunding context.Plain English SummaryCan rewards-based crowdfunding open new doors to finance open-source software (OSS) projects? Our research suggests that crowdfunding backers are more likely to support OSS projects because they are perceived as more trustworthy. While the economic principles of OSS can be counterintuitive, OSS promotes widespread product adoption and collaboration. This allows anyone to benefit from OSS. Our research builds on the notion that crowdfunding, much like OSS, is a communal endeavor. We leverage data from the rewards-based crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.com and a controlled experiment, finding a connection between projects that espouse the OSS approach and crowdfunding success. The culmination of the two studies advances knowledge of the unique preferences of crowdfunding backers and suggests that the crowdfunding context is fertile ground to bring new insights into OSS-focused start-ups.},

abstract = {Assessing User eXperience (UX) maturity is mandatory in the free and open-source software (FOSS) community to avoid wasting resources on projects that may fall short of expectations. Best practices suggest employing UX Capability Maturity Models (UXCMMs), which often specify an evolutionary plateau toward developing a UX-matured system and quantify organizational UX maturity into maturity levels ranging from no or ad hoc improvement to integrated continuous improvement. Numerous generically developed UXCMMs exist. However, none is created for the FOSS community, and less information is available to support their perfect match. Thus, raise suspicions if they have proper UX maturity influencing factors (UXMIFs) for the FOSS community or measure the right thing. The FOSS community differs from traditional software-developing communities and may have different dynamics and UXMIFs, necessitating unique and new methodologies for their discovery. This study, therefore, aims to identify the FOSS community\’s UXMIFs and evaluate the community\’s knowledge of UX maturity-related concepts. Its findings may help future researchers, practitioners, and other FOSS developers to develop UXCMMs exclusive to the FOSS community. The study\’s design is both qualitative and quantitative. It adopted a systematic literature review, interviews, fuzzy Delphi Method, and thematic analysis to collect and analyze data and present the findings. The study\’s sample included sixty-two active FOSS projects, fifteen FOSS stakeholders, and twelve UX experts. The outcome shows that 84\% of UX experts agreed on the thirty-six FOSS\’s UXMIFs with threshold d\ =\ 0.143 and crisp values greater than \α-cut = 0.5. User feedback and adopted technologies were ranked first, while learnability and use speed were ranked last. Similarly, FOSS stakeholders have shown a shared understanding of UX maturity, connected concepts, and impacting factors.},

However, the security communities realize some limitations when they put most existing proposals into practice. The challenges are mainly concerned with (i) fine-grained unknown attack detection and (ii) ever-changing legitimate traffic adaptation. To tackle these problem, we present three key design norms. The core idea is to construct a model to split the data distribution hyperplane and leverage the concept of isolation, as well as advance the incremental model update. We utilize the isolation tree as the backbone to design our model, named FOSS, to echo back three norms. By analyzing the popular dataset of network intrusion traces, we show that FOSS significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods. Further, we perform an initial deployment of FOSS by working with the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to detect distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. With real-world tests and manual analysis, we demonstrate the effectiveness of FOSS to identify previously-unseen attacks in a fine-grained manner.},

To do so, this study employs a probabilistic sample of 683 users enrolled in Linux forums for open-source software distributions. The path analysis and bootstrap samples revealed that customers who exhibit a high innate innovativeness and feel that they belong in the online community show a greater motivation towards platform exploration and participation in co-creation. Moreover, the effect of this synergic interaction on their co-creation participation was partially mediated by the normative dimension of their intrinsic motivation, while the hedonic dimension was not a strong predictor of co-creation contributions. This study fills the voids in the existing literature by showcasing the relevance of personal characteristics, beyond individual motivation, in co-creation behavior.},

The study aims to assist a community of OSS developers in quantifying the product\’s reliability. This research proposes reliability growth models for OSS by incorporating dynamicity in the debugging process. For this, stochastic differential equation-based analytical models are developed to represent the instantaneous rate of error generation. The fault introduction rate is modeled using exponential and Erlang distribution functions. The empirical applications of the proposed methodology are verified using the real-life failure data of the Open Source Software projects, GNU Network Object Model Environment, and Eclipse. A soft computing technique, Genetic Algorithm, is applied to estimate model parameters. Cross-validation is also performed to examine the forecasting efficacy of the model. The predictive power of the developed models is compared with various benchmark studies. The data analysis is conducted using the R statistical computing software. The results demonstrate the proposed models\’ efficacy in parameter estimation and predictive performance. In addition, the optimal release time policy based on the proposed mathematical models is presented by formulating the optimization model that intends to minimize the total cost of software development under reliability constraints. The numerical illustration and sensitivity analysis exhibit the proposed problem's practical significance. The findings of the numerical analysis exemplify the proposed study's capability of decision-making under uncertainty.},

doi = {10.1007/s11219-023-09658-w},
abstract = {In recent years, open-source software (OSS) has attracted increasing attention due to its easy accessibility via cloud repositories, voluntary community, no vendor lock-in, and low total cost of ownership. In turn, specifying and evaluating OSS quality has become a significant challenge for OSS adoption in organizations that are inclined to use them. Although many OSS quality models have been proposed in the literature, the dynamic and diverse nature of OSS has caused these models to be heterogeneous in terms of structure and content. This has adversely affected the standardization of evaluations and led to the evaluation results obtained from different OSS quality models for the same purpose being incomparable and sometimes unreliable. Therefore, in this study, a meta-model for OSS quality (OSS-QMM), which employs a unified structure from existing quality models and enables the derivation of homogeneous models, has been proposed. For this purpose, a systematic and laborious effort has been spent via a step-based meta-model creation process including review-and-revise iterations. In order to validate the OSS-QMM, case study and expert opinion methods have been applied to answer three research questions (RQs) targeted to investigate practical applicability, results comparability, and effectiveness of using the meta-model. Multiple and embedded case study designs have been employed for evaluating three real ERP systems, and 20 subject matter experts have been interviewed during the validation process. The results of multi-faceted empirical studies have indicated that the OSS-QMM has addressed solving problems in OSS quality evaluation and its adoption with high degrees of confidence.},

In this paper, the authors develop a set of hypotheses based on the knowledge barriers framework that examines how OSS communities can encourage contributions from newcomers.Design/methodology/approachEmploying longitudinal data from the source code repositories of 232 OSS projects over a two-year period, the authors employ a Poisson-based mixed model to test how community characteristics, such as the main drivers of knowledge-based costs, relate to newcomers' contributions.FindingsThe results indicate that community characteristics, such as programming language choice, documentation effort and code structure instability, are the main drivers of knowledge-based contribution costs. The findings also suggest that managing these costs can result in more inclusive OSS communities, as evidenced by the number of contributing newcomers; the authors highlight the importance of maintaining documentation efforts for OSS communities.Originality/valueThis paper assumes that motivational factors are a necessary but insufficient condition for newcomer participation in OSS projects and that the cost to participation should be considered. Using the knowledge barriers framework, this paper identifies the main knowledge-based costs that hinder newcomer participation. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first empirical study that does not limit data collection to a single hosting platform (e.g., SourceForge), which improves the generalizability of the findings.},

Recent studies have shown that analyzing data from source code repositories is an efficient way to gather information about project characteristics and programmers, showing that OSS projects are very heterogeneous in their team structures and software processes. However, one problem is that the resulting process metrics measuring attributes of the development process and of the development environment do not give any hints about the quality, complexity, or structure of the resulting software. Therefore, we expanded the analysis by calculating several product metrics, most of them specifically tailored to object-oriented software. We then analyzed the relationship between these product metrics and process metrics derived from a CVS repository. The aim was to establish whether different variants of open source development processes have a significant impact on the resulting software products. In particular we analyzed the impact on quality and design associated with the numbers of contributors and the amount of their work, using the GINI coefficient as a measure of inequality within the developer group.},

Drawing a systematic review and a Qualitative Survey of BI Experts, this study proposes a framework that categorizes and structures 23 barriers to OSBI adoption by organizations including 4 that were identified by BI Experts but not explicitly found in the literature. This paper contributes to OSS and Information Systems (IS) research literature on BI adoption in general and provides specific insights to practitioners.},

abstract = {Collaboration enables the sharing amongst individuals of resources and knowledge required to innovate. In recent years, this phenomenon has increasingly manifested in virtual collaborative spaces such as open‐source software communities because of the advancement in the use of online technologies and the heightened need for distance work. However, it is still unclear which underlying mechanisms foster collaboration in these spaces. By using the Linux kernel open‐source software community as a case study, we analyze data from the linux‐pci@vger.kernel.org mailing list to model the influence of proximity on the likelihood of collaboration between individuals. Our dataset is composed of 10,513 message replies to the PCI mailing list posted by its 654 active members in the years 2013 to 2015. Our results show that geographical proximity does not have a direct impact on collaboration, while organizational features defined by institutional and organizational proximity do significantly affect collaboration. Cognitive and social proximity also significantly, and positively, affects collaboration, but these relationships show an inverted u‐shaped form. Our results confirm the need to develop specific theorizing about virtual spaces, as they present unique features when compared to traditional physical environments.},

In the formative period, entrepreneurs were interested in the software's strategic direction in the market, academics and SMEs in software functionality and large firms and hobbyists in software testing. Each group retained its primary interest in the maturing period with academics and SMEs separating into server- and client-side usability. The analysis shed light on how the different stakeholder groups overcame tensions amongst themselves and took specific actions to sustain the project.Originality/valueThe authors extend stakeholder theory by reconceptualizing the focal organization and its stakeholders for OSS projects. To date, OSS research has primarily focused on examining one project relative to its marketplace. Using stakeholder theory, we identified stakeholder groups within a single OSS project to demonstrate their distinct interests and how these interests influence their value creation activities over time. Collectively, these interests enable the project's long-term development.},

In this article, we examine change in cognitive complexity and its impacts on maintenance in the context of open source software (OSS). Relationships of the change in cognitive complexity with the change in the number of reported bugs, time taken to fix the bugs, and contributions from new developers are examined and are all found to be statistically significant. In addition, several control variables, such as software size, age, development status, and programmer skills are included in the analyses. The results have strong implications for OSS project administrators; they must continually measure software complexity and be actively involved in managing it in order to have successful and sustainable OSS products.

abstract = {The open-source software (OSS) movement is often analogized as a commons, where products are developed by and consumed in an open community. However, does a larger commons automatically beget success or does the phenomenon fall prey to the tragedy of the commons? This research forwards and empirically investigates the curvilinear relationship between developers and OSS project quality and a project's download volume. Using segmented regression on over 12,000 SourceForge OSS projects, findings suggest an inflection point in the number of contributing developers on download volume – suggesting increasing and diminishing returns to scale from adding developers to OSS projects. Findings support the economic principle of the tragedy of the commons, a concept where an over-allocated (large number) of developers, even in an open-source environment, can lead to resource mismanagement and reduce the benefit of a public good, i.e. the OSS project.},

abstract = {ContextIn the last two decades, open-source software (OSS) has gained increasing attention due to its voluntary supporters, growing community, and ease of accessibility in cloud repositories. Standardization in OSS quality is of vital importance as a communication vehicle for stakeholders in identifying and selecting high-quality products. Thus, meta-models help to define a standardized language and enable to propose quality models that can be used to perform comparable measurements.ObjectiveConsidering the lack of a comprehensive meta-model of OSS quality in\&\#xa0;the literature, there appears a need to see a more complete picture of OSS quality and to represent its concepts more formally. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to develop a solid base for a comprehensive meta-model of OSS quality to create a common understanding among stakeholders.MethodA systematic way has been followed toward developing a common structure, defining a consistent terminology and, finally, providing a meta-model of OSS quality. In this context, (1) the common structure of the quality models for OSS has been investigated, (2) the terms of the general-purpose meta-models of software quality have been analyzed based on the international standards, and (3) the terms of the quality models for OSS have been mapped with the elements of these meta-models.ResultsAn initial meta-model of OSS quality, which employs a unified structure from the OSS quality models and eliminates the inconsistencies determined in the general-purpose meta-models of software quality, has been proposed and an implementation of this meta-model has been demonstrated.ConclusionThis initial meta-model of OSS quality with a standard terminology can be taken as a guide by researchers who will propose or revise their OSS quality models. It will allow developing multiple OSS quality models with homogenous structure and terms, and also enable comparing the evaluation results obtained by these models.},

The model is extracted to support source code reusing and revising as the two primary targets of OSS through a systematic review of related documents.Design/methodology/approachConducting a systematic review, all the software reusing criteria are identified and introduced to the web of data by an ontology for OSS (O4OSS). The software semantic model introduced in this paper explores OSS through triple expressions in which the O4OSS properties are predicates.FindingsThis model improves the quality of web data by describing software in a structured machine–human readable profile, which is linked to the related data that was previously published on the web. Evaluating the OSS semantic model is accomplished through comparing it with previous approaches, comparing the software structured metadata with profile index of software in some well-known repositories, calculating the software retrieval rank and surveying domain experts.Originality/valueConsidering context-specific information and authority levels, the proposed software model would be applicable to any open and close software. Using this model to publish software provides an infrastructure of connected meaningful data and helps developers overcome some specific challenges. By navigating software data, many questions which can be answered only through reading multiple documents can be automatically responded on the web of data.},

abstract = {PurposeIn times of open and distributed innovation, many innovation activities that are important for firms' products and services take place beyond the boundaries of the firm and thus beyond firms' direct control. A prime example for this phenomenon is open source software (OSS) development, where multiple actors contribute to a public good, which is also integrated into company-owned software products. Despite the importance of aligning community work on the public good with own in-house development efforts, firms have limited options to directly control the OSS project or the project's outcome. This research reflects on resource deployment control, a control mode in which firms assign own developers to work for an OSS project to influence the OSS project, and tests hypotheses on individual developer levels.Design/methodology/approachThis research tests the effect of perceived resource deployment control on opinion leadership by analyzing employed Linux kernel developers.FindingsThe findings show that developers who perceive being assigned to an OSS project to enact control also exhibit opinion leadership. This research also investigates boundary conditions such as the OSS business model a firm operates and the reputation developers assign to the developers' employer.Originality/valueThis research is the first that is devoted to resource deployment control, and the research closes with a discussion of implications for control theory and the management of innovation beyond firm boundaries.},

A\&\#xa0;longitudinal analysis from the projects hosted at Sourceforge.net is conducted to examine the effects of social and technical networks on the success of OSS projects. To address our research questions, we have constructed research models to investigate the social network effects in developer networks, the technical network effects in module networks, and the social-technical network effects in both types of networks.Findings The results reveal nonlinear relationships between degree centrality in both social and technical networks and OSS success, highlighting the importance of a moderate level of degree centrality in team structure and software architecture. Meanwhile, a moderate level of betweenness centrality and a lower level of closeness centrality between developers lead to a higher chance of OSS project success.Originality/value This study is the first attempt to consider the network metrics in both module networks of the technical sub-system and developer networks of the social sub-system to better understand their influences on project success.},

Currently, university libraries that have fully implemented the IRs are less as compared with those universities that have partially implemented IR software. However, a good number of university libraries are in the process to develop IRs. Free and open-source software is being used mostly in libraries as compared with in-house developed, locally developed or commercial software. The opinion of librarians about using IR software expressed a positive attitude of librarians. Some of the major challenges encountered by the librarians in using open-source IR software include selection of suitable software and materials for digitization, lack of cooperation from the parent organization, inadequate training opportunities and lack of skilled staff.Research limitations/implications\>This study is geographically limited to the university libraries in Islamabad.Practical implications\>This study will encourage the Pakistani LIS professionals to use open-source software for the development of IRs in their libraries.Originality/value\>This study concludes that the development of IRs in university libraries is a need of the hour. Although the launching of IRs requires certain skills and competencies, Pakistani librarians can overcome these challenges by mastering the ICT skills.},

The objective of this article is to identify the factors that drive adopters and non-adopters of free software and develop strategies that encourage its adoption at SMEs in Medell\ín by means of interviews with CEOs and IT department directors. One of the conclusions is that the technological culture of the organization and its infrastructure are factors that determine the ease of use. Besides, software quality is a decisive element in the perception of the usefulness of free software. Finally, both government support and the availability of ICT-trained personnel are factors that influence the attitude of a company towards the usage of these free technologies.},

This paper analyzes the governance of these organizations from the perspective of their structure and control, considering the development trajectory of three community-based free software projects in Brazil. Results show that the constant need to produce modern technologies gives rise to external pressures that promote change - albeit temporary - in the governance of these projects, making them resemble a cathedral more than a bazaar. Governance does not follow a cycle of sequential improvement; it changes depending on the external organizational actors present, such as sponsors. This suggests the need for strategic and flexible governance to deal with the acquisition and allocation of organizational resources. Governance of the projects described here varies along a spectrum of (in)formality that allows both production models - cathedral or bazaar - to exist in the same organization at different periods.},

doi = {10.17705/1jais.00712},
abstract = {The success of open source software (OSS) projects depends on sustained contributions by developers who often display a wide variety of contribution patterns. Project leaders and stakeholders would strongly prefer that developers not only maintain but preferably increase their contributions over time as they gain experience. Corporations increasingly complement OSS developer motivations (such as fit in terms of shared values with the project community) by paying them to sustain contributions. However, practitioners argue whether payment helps or hurts projects because monetary compensation may dampen developer motivation in the long run, making it difficult for project leaders to understand what to expect from developers over time. Using Herzberg\’s motivation-hygiene framework, we explore how developers\’ perceptions of value fit with the project and being paid interact to determine the level of code contribution and its rate of change over time (i.e., growth). Using a survey of 564 developers across 431 projects on GitHub, we build a three-level growth model explaining the code contribution and its growth over a six-month period. We find that value fit with the project positively influences both the level and growth of code contribution. However, there are notable differences among paid and unpaid developers in the impact of value fit on their level and growth in code contributions over time. The implications of our work will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and organizations investing in open source projects.},

abstract = {Despite the fact that OSS contributors tend to eschew traditional organizational hierarchies, researchers have found that, in many cases, OSS contributors make tightly coupled system designs and successfully coordinate highly interdependent tasks. Although researchers have explained how OSS contributors make tightly coupled code contributions, we do not know the characteristics of individuals who make such contributions. While previous studies have considered OSS projects as single, independent containers, I note that OSS projects do not constitute independent or standalone entities but reuse and, thus, depend one another. This reuse creates complex networks of interdependencies called \“software ecosystems\”. In this paper, I analyze OSS contributors who have made tightly coupled code contributions using two lenses: the core-periphery lens and the habitual-episodic lens. Based on investigating three volunteer-driven OSS projects, I found OSS contributors who make tightly coupled code contributions to have different code-contribution patterns. Interestingly, I found that half of such contributors made no previous code contributions to the sampled projects but episodically authored patches (or pull requests) that increased software coupling. Based on further investigation, I suggest a multiple-fluid-container view that accommodates software ecosystems in which multiple containers (multiple OSS projects) co-evolve with each container (each OSS project) readily accessible.},

abstract = {PurposeThis paper explores how task characteristics in terms of trigger type and task topic influence individual participation in community-based free/libre open source software (FLOSS) development by considering participation in individual tasks rather than entire projects.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative study was designed using choose tasks that were carried out via the email discourse on the developers' email fora in five FLOSS projects. Choice process episodes were selected as the unit of analysis and were coded for the task trigger and topic. The impact of these factors on participation (i.e. the numbers of participants and messages) was assessed by regression.FindingsThe results reveal differences in participation related to different task triggers and task topics. Further, the results suggest the mediating role of the number of participants in the relationships between task characteristics and the number of messages. The authors also speculate that project type serves as a boundary condition restricting the impacts of task characteristics on the number of participants and propose this relationship for future research.Research limitations/implicationsEmpirical support was provided to the important effects of different task characteristics on individual participation behaviors in FLOSS development tasks.Practical implicationsThe findings can help FLOSS participants understand participation patterns in different tasks and choose the types of tasks to attend to.Originality/valueThis research explores the impact of task characteristics on participation in FLOSS development at the task level, while prior research on participation in FLOSS development has focused mainly on factors at the individual and/or project levels.},

abstract = {Despite a considerable body of literature investigating factors involved in the Open Source Software (OSS) adoption process, there is little research into adoption of OSS by public sector organisations. So it was important to reassess the factors enabling OSS adoption in order to enhance OSS utilization within public sector organisations. This study explored various factors that may enable OSS adoption within Australian Public Sector (APS) organisations by interviewing those involved in software procurement. The findings were analysed through the lenses of technology adoption theories (i.e, Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)), and OSS adoption literature. Success of OSS in government agencies was found to be contingent on critical aspects such as availability of support and maintainability of OSS products, ability to meet organisational business needs in a cost effective manner, economic value associated with OSS such as maintenance and training costs, and attitude of staff toward OSS. The findings suggested that Rogers\’ relative advantage and compatibility constructs are major enablers while organisational attributes, environmental attributes, and TAM\’s attributes also had some influence on OSS adoption.},

However, in FLOSS teams, one might expect the lack of formal organizational structures to guide practices and reliance on asynchronous communication to make decision making problematic. Despite these challenges, many effective FLOSS teams exist. We lack research on how organizations make IS development decisions in general and on FLOSS decision-making models in particular. The decision-making literature on FLOSS teams has focused on the distribution of decision-making power. Therefore, it remains unclear which decision-making theories fit the FLOSS context best or whether we require novel decision-making models. We adopted a process-based perspective to analyze decision making in five community-based FLOSS teams. We identified five different decision-making processes, which indicates that FLOSS teams use multiple processes when making decisions. Decision-making behaviors remained stable across projects even though they required different types of knowledge. We help fill the literature gap about which FLOSS decision mechanisms one can explain using classical decision-making theories. Practically, community and company leaders can use knowledge of these decision processes to develop infrastructure that fits FLOSS decision-making processes.},

abstract = {Open Source Software projects base their operation on a collaborative structure for knowledge exchange in the form of provision or reception of information, expertise and feedback on the creation of source code. Here, we address the direction of these knowledge flows among projects throughout social networks and their impact on project success. We identify the roles of membership or contribution that individuals play within projects. We found that connections through contributors who bring their knowledge to the project, improve project success, and that connection through members, who transfer their knowledge towards other projects, enhance project success. Finally, we found that ties through shared membership and contributions hamper project success. The analysis of knowledge flows and their impact on project success imply a translation of returns from investment in social capital, where investment takes the shape of knowledge flows and the returns mean the projects' diffusion over the network.

Special emphasis is placed on the legal ramifications of this alternative approach to business software development and a long, complex lawsuit that threatens to restructure the open source philosophy. It is not surprising that commercial software companies have attacked Linux and other open source software packages. A legal attack from a company called SCO could jeopardize the future of open source software, with users and potential users of open source software fearful of previously unasserted intellectual property lawsuits. On Mar 6, 2003, the SCO Group initiated a civil lawsuit again IBM, claiming damages that were later increased to \$5 billion. The possibility that SCO could have some proprietary claim to Linux is negated by the free software community's willingness to rewrite any offending code. At this time, there is little reason for organizations using Linux and other open source programs to fear the results of the SCO litigation.},

The open-source movement's unique development practices are challenging the traditional views of how innovation should work. Some people suggest open-source software developers freely reveal and share because they garner personal benefits from doing so, such as learning to develop complex software. Open-source projects can be started by anyone with the appropriate programming skills and motives. In the future, some managers may encourage the use of open-source software in their own firms. Others may attempt to build a business based on distributing and servicing open-source software. The open-source software movement also provides important management lessons regarding the most effective ways to structure and implement innovation. The lessons of open-source projects demonstrate the value of specialization through self-selection and how norms of meritocracy and peer recognition help ensure product quality.},

This paper reviews relevant literature related to international operations of knowledge-intensive firms, especially in the software industry. Theoretical development is based here on a combination of the network approach, international new venture theory and inward-outward internationalization. The findings in this study suggest that the international activities of OSS firms can be divided into project activities and business activities. Project activities include inward and outward linkages, and partner identification. Business activities include domestic and partner network activities that can lead to international business as well. For scholars, the framework provides a new approach to explain many international activities of OSS firms by integrating three international business theories. In addition, it provides good starting point for further empirical examination. The framework helps managers gain a better understanding of complex circumstances embedded into the international activities of OSS firms. With that better understanding, the managers can focus their activities, which helps further to improve their firms' competitiveness engendered by the international activities in the OSS development. The framework developed in this study is believed to be the first serious attempt to provide a deeper theoretical understanding of international activities of OSS firms. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Among the most noteworthy topics surrounding the recent widespread adoption of open-source software (OSS) are the convergence by governments worldwide to open standards and the ways in which open source embraces this convergence. Many studies by governments and by information technology analysts suggest that OSS and open standards are intimately connected and that the inherent value of open-source adoption may be attributable in large part to the embodiment of open standards in OSS. Given the equally rapid changes in the information technology marketplace, the successful adoption of these new technologies by governments will depend on how well the strengths of proprietary software and OSS are understood and applied - especially with respect to the use of open standards to speed deployments of integrated capabilities that respond to emerging challenges. This paper evaluates the relative strengths of proprietary software and OSS as development techniques that embrace the open standards valued by governments.},

abstract = {In this paper we propose that due to the particularities of the Open Source Software (OSS) development process and its perceived "social" connotations, traditional ways of explaining IT adoption are insufficient to understand the case of OSS diffusion. Evidence shows that OSS fails in many cases to displace dominant market leaders even in the case of user's unhappiness with the prevalent solution, while in some others OSS is adopted without a clear advantage. Using a qualitative research approach, we highlight the existence of a new context, in which the adoption of Linux-based OSS platforms by companies is not led only by traditional drivers. User communities and broader social responsibility considerations have been found to exert some degrees of pressure on the IT decision maker. Through the analysis of some significant cases we propose a framework that helps to depict under which conditions significant OSS adoption may unfold.},

Through an empirical, interpretive case study and a literature review utilising the metaphor of text in the analysis, this paper provides a refined conceptualisation of user participation in OSS development. The paper reveals that different kinds of meanings have been attached to users and to their participation. User participation is both direct and indirect in the OSS development context. Some user groups actively take part in OSS development, while others are merely represented in it. Different kinds of intermediaries representing the users are identified. The research is based on one case study on a small but active OSS project with an interest in users. Other kinds of OSS projects should be analysed. The analysis was focused on a discussion forum, but users can take part in OSS development by other means as well. Paths for future work should include the gathering of more varied empirical data. The findings indicate that users can provide feedback to the development through discussion forums in the distributed environment, but there is a need to support the users in doing so and the developers in analysing the data. The importance of different kinds of intermediaries representing the users is highlighted. The paper provides thorough empirical insights and a refined conceptualisation of user participation addressing the currently weakly empirically explored OSS development context.},

Through the application of both qualitative and quantitative techniques, Samba's software development and evolution over a seven-year period are tracked and assessed.

abstract = {Most requirements engineering (RE) research has been conducted in the context of structured and agile software development. Software, however, is increasingly developed in open source software (OSS) forms which have several unique characteristics. In this study, we approach OSS RE as a sociotechnical, distributed cognitive process where distributed actors "compute" requirements- i.e., transform requirements-related knowledge into forms that foster a shared understanding of what the software is going to do and how it can be implemented. Such computation takes place through social sharing of knowledge and the use of heterogeneous artifacts. To illustrate the value of this approach, we conduct a case study of a popular OSS project, Rubinius-a runtime environment for the Ruby programming language-and identify ways in which cognitive workload associated with RE becomes distributed socially, structurally, and temporally across actors and artifacts. We generalize our observations into an analytic framework of OSS RE, which delineates three stages of requirements computation: excavation, instantiation, and testing-in-the-wild. We show how the distributed, dynamic, and heterogeneous computational structure underlying OSS development builds an effective mechanism for managing requirements. Our study contributes to sorely needed theorizing of appropriate RE processes within highly distributed environments as it identifies and articulates several novel mechanisms that undergird cognitive processes associated with distributed forms of RE.},

abstract = {Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the literature about the commercial involvement in open source software, levels of this involvement and consequences of attempting to mix various logics of action. Design/methodology/approach – This paper uses the case study approach based on mixed methods: literature reviews and news searches, electronic surveys, qualitative interviews and observations. It combines discussions from several research projects as well as previous publications to present the scope of commercial choices within open source software and their consequences. Findings – The findings show that higher levels of involvement in open source software communities poses important questions about the balance between economic, technological, and social logics as well as the benefits of being autonomous, having access to collaborative networks and minimizing risks related to free-riding. There are six levels of commercial involvement in open source communities, and each of them is characterized by a different dilemma. Originality/value – The paper sheds light on the various level of involvement of business in open source movement and emphasize that the popularized \“open innovation\” concept is only the first step in real involvement and paradigm shift.},

abstract = {This paper presents our work towards a fully functioning platform for pervasive service engineering in an operational support services (OSS) context for an ICT service provider. The focus of the paper lies in a proof-of-concept for a novel means to develop and execute pervasive services, with simplicity and maintainability as prime drivers. The essence of this approach is the novel integration of the policy-based management (PBM) techniques and the model-driven architecture (MDA) techniques for specifying pervasive services and their behaviour, together with auto-generation of middleware implementation and policy enablement. The presence of policies provides pervasive services with the high flexibility and adaptability needed for dealing with changing environments and resource availabilities, while the introduction of MDA for defining pervasive service information models fundamentally solves the information modelling puzzle of current policy-based approaches. Additionally, MDA's middleware-neutral feature benefits the smooth evolution of pervasive services as a piece of software artefact in the face of heterogeneous devices and platforms. A preliminary case study has demonstrated the practical feasibility and benefits of this approach. The case study revolves around an ICT service called TEANU - transparent enterprise access for nomadic user. The service provides a means for nomadic users to maintain a secure access to their enterprise network in the presence of multiple access network providers with different service level guarantees.

abstract = {Previous literature on open source software (OSS) mostly analyzes organizational issues within communities of developers and users. This paper focuses on for-profit organizations that release software products under OSS licenses, and argues that variations in their endowments of intellectual property rights, namely patents and trademarks, help to determine which firms will tend to incorporate OSS into commercial products. We explain whether and under what conditions preexisting stocks of intellectual property rights can be useful complementary assets that allow firms to benefit directly or indirectly from commercializing OSS products, and test our hypotheses on a novel data set built on firms' announcements of OSS product releases in the specialized press between 1995 and 2003. We find three robust results: (a) firms with large stocks of software patents are more likely to release OSS products; (b) firms with large stocks of software trademarks are less likely to release OSS products; (c) firms with large stocks of hardware trademarks are more likely to release OSS products.

abstract = {Purpose – This paper aims to add to the understanding of knowledge sharing in online communities through an investigation of the relationship between individual participant\’s motivations and management in open source software (OSS) communities. Drawing on a review of literature concerning knowledge sharing in organisations, the factors that motivate participants to share their knowledge in OSS communities, and the management of such communities, it is hypothesised that the quality of management influences the extent to which the motivations of members actually result in knowledge sharing. Design/methodology/approach – To test the hypothesis, quantitative data were collected through an online questionnaire survey of OSS web developers with the aim of gathering respondents\’ opinions concerning knowledge sharing, motivations to share knowledge and satisfaction with the management of OSS projects. Factor analysis, descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to explore the survey data. Findings – The analysis of the data reveals that the individual participant\’s satisfaction with the management of an OSS project is an important factor influencing the extent of their personal contribution to a community. Originality/value – Little attention has been devoted to understanding the impact of management in OSS communities. Focused on OSS developers specialising in web development, the findings of this paper offer an important original contribution to understanding the connections between individual members\’ satisfaction with management and their motivations to contribute to an OSS project. The findings reveal that motivations to share knowledge in online communities are influenced by the quality of management. Consequently, the findings suggest that appropriate management can enhance knowledge sharing in OSS projects and online communities, and organisations more generally.},

abstract = {Open source software projects rely on the voluntary efforts of thousands of software developers, yet we know little about why developers choose to participate in this collective development process. This paper inductively derives a framework for understanding participation from the perspective of the individual software developer based on data from two software communities with different governance structures. In both communities, a need for software-related improvements drives initial participation. The majority of participants leave the community once their needs are met, however, a small subset remains involved. For this set of developers, motives evolve over time and participation becomes a hobby. These hobbyists are critical to the long-term viability of the software code: They take on tasks that might otherwise go undone and work to maintain the simplicity and modularity of the code. Governance structures affect this evolution of motives. Implications for firms interested in implementing hybrid strategies designed to combine the advantages of open source software development with proprietary ownership and control are discussed.

The notion of the OS business model is discussed in the light of a substantial body of theoretical literature concerning strategic management and the economics of innovation, as well as specialized literature on OS. Empirical evidence based on a survey of 146 Italian software firms shows that firms have adapted to an environment dominated by incumbent standards by combining the offering of proprietary and OS software under different licensing schemes, thus choosing a hybrid business model. The paper examines the determinants of the degree of openness toward OS and discusses the stability of hybrid models in the evolution of the industry. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

This survey-based study, conducted with 402 active LUG members representing 191 different LUGs from 23 countries and employing structural equation modeling methodology, supports the proposed model. Furthermore, we find that the Linux user's experience level moderates the extent of the LUG's social influence and its impact on the user's participation. We conclude with a consideration of the managerial and research implications of the study's findings. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

We categorize the research into three areas: motivations of open source software contributors; governance, organization, and the process of innovation in open source software projects; and competitive dynamics enforced by open source software. We introduce the articles in this special issue of Management Science on open source software, and show how each contributes insights to one or more of these areas. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

The logistics of moving to OSS need not be daunting, however, if the organization considers the entire modernization plan, considers what various application types require, and does not undertake too much conversion at once.},

abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to review use of open source software in the public sector in Botswana and South Africa. South Africa is Botswana's neighbor and both countries are leading economies in Africa. Design/methodology/approach - The paper draws on a survey that was carried out in information communication technology (ICT)-intensive government ministries in Botswana in May 2008. The study sought to establish availability of policy framework, level of usage of open source software, government support, motivations for implementing open source software in government, availability of skills, attitude of it managers in government toward open source software and challenges of open source software deployment in the public sector. The population of the study consisted of information technology (IT) managers who were purposively selected from ICT-intensive government ministries and interviewed. The study was extended to cover South Africa through review of literature on the same issues as those studied in Botswana. Findings - Compared with other countries in developed and developing countries including South Africa, there is limited use of open source software in the public sector in Botswana. However, IT managers in government of Botswana demonstrate a positive attitude toward open source software, and seem to have adequate understanding of its potential benefits. Comparatively, South African government provides support for harnessing open source software; awareness among top government officials is high and attitude toward open source software seems positive; skills are generally available and hardly any challenges of using open source software were identified. Research limitations/implications - This study was limited to purposively selected government ministries which are ICT-intensive in Botswana, while for South Africa, the study was based on secondary sources of data and focused on deployment of open source software in government agencies. Practical implications - Despite the increasing deployment of open source software in government across the world, the Botswanan government is yet unlikely to put in place an enabling open source software policy to harness the potential of the Software. Originality/value - Open source software deployment in government across the world is gaining momentum purportedly to enhance universal access, reduce costs associated with commercial software bridge the digital divide, grow indigenous IT skills, etc. Botswana and South Africa are the economic frontline states in Africa, and their leadership role in this matter among counterparts on the African continent is pertinent.

A key paradox of the global Internet is that it allows individual and collective decision making to co-exist with each other. Open source software (OSS) communities are a globally accelerating phenomenon. OSS refers to groups of programs that allow the free use of the software and further the code sharing to the general and corporate users of the software. The combination of private provision and public knowledge and software, and the seeming paradox of economic versus social motivations have stimulated a wide debate between researchers and policymakers. In this article, we analyze OSS communities from the viewpoint of "intrinsic motivation," knowledge creation, and collective Internet governance. We believe that the growth of global OSS has fundamental implications for business ethics and the governance of the global Internet in the twenty-first century. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {The importance of virtual brand communities is growing day by day as a result of consumers increasingly using online tools to contact fellow consumers in order to get information on which to base their decisions. For this reason, this work aims to explore some of the effects of participation in a virtual brand community on consumer behaviour. The paper proposes the positive effects of participation in a virtual community on both consumer trust and loyalty to the product, brand or organisation around which the community is developed. In addition, it also proposes a positive effect of trust on consumer loyalty. After the validations of measurement scales, the hypotheses are contrasted through structural modelling. The data, obtained through a web survey using members of several free software virtual communities, show that participation in the activities carried out in a virtual community may foster consumer trust and loyalty to the mutual interest of the community (the free software in this case). In addition, the study also found a positive and significant effect of consumer trust on loyalty.},

abstract = {PurposeOpen Source software companies (OSSCs) are confronted with institutional pressures from Open Source software (OSS) communities. They must find an acceptable balance between the expectations of these communities and their own business model. However, there are still few studies that try to analyse the OSSC business models. The purpose of this paper is to highlight OSSC typical business models by using rich empirical data.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology is based on a combination of quantitative analysis of a sample of 66 OSSCs and qualitative analysis of three typical situations resulting from that sample.FindingsThe quantitative study enables the authors to highlight three typical business models. The in-depth study of three typical cases enables the authors to specify these OSSC business models. The authors can distinguish four key dimensions: the relationship developed with the OSS communities, the strategic manoeuvres made, the key resources and competitive positioning.Research limitations/implicationsThe results indicate that it is possible for firms to accommodate both profit and non-profit logics using different strategic manoeuvres to position themselves with regard to the Open Source institutional environment. Such accommodation requires the development of key resources and the adoption of suitable competitive positioning.Practical implicationsThis study allows the authors to highlight two main practical contributions for OSSCs\’ directors. First, the different manoeuvres identified may help them to ensure coherence between their strategic choices and the business model chosen. Second, the results can help OSSC founders identify value creation mechanisms more clearly by analysing four key variables.Originality/valueThis paper provides new insight about OSSCs business models. It aggregates four dimensions that provide a more \“fine-grained\” analysis of business models, while other studies often emphasise one dimension (usually the regime of appropriability).},

Hierarchical configurations have been used to structure processes, overcome resistance and get things done. But is deliberate change also possible without formal structures and hierarchical influence? Design/methodology/approach This longitudinal, qualitative study investigates an open-source software (OSS) community named TYPO3. This case exhibits no formal hierarchical attributes. The study is based on mailing lists, interviews and observations. Findings The study reveals that deliberate change is indeed achievable in a non-hierarchical collaborative OSS community context. However, it presupposes the presence and active involvement of informal change agents. The paper identifies and specifies four key drivers for change agents' influence. Originality/value The findings contribute to organisational analysis by providing a deeper understanding of the importance of leadership in making deliberate change possible in non-hierarchical settings. It points to the importance of "change-by-conviction", essentially based on voluntary behaviour. This can open the door to reducing the negative side effects of deliberate change also for hierarchical organisations.},

abstract = {An open source software (OSS) ecosystem refers to an OSS development community composed of many software projects and developers contributing to these projects. The projects and developers co-evolve in an ecosystem. To keep healthy evolution of such OSS ecosystems, there is a need of attracting and retaining developers, particularly project leaders and core developers who have major impact on the project and the whole team. Therefore, it is important to figure out the factors that influence developers' chance to evolve into project leaders and core developers. To identify such factors, we conducted a case study on the GNOME ecosystem. First, we collected indicators reflecting developers' subjective willingness to contribute to the project and the project environment that they stay in. Second, we calculated such indicators based on the GNOME dataset. Then, we fitted logistic regression models by taking as independent variables the resulting indicators after eliminating the most collinear ones, and taking as a dependent variable the future developer role (the core developer or project leader). The results showed that part of such indicators (e.g., the total number of projects that a developer joined) of subjective willingness and project environment significantly influenced the developers' chance to evolve into core developers and project leaders. With different validation methods, our obtained model performs well on predicting developmental core developers, resulting in stable prediction performance (0.770, F-value).},

Some open source communities establish open source software foundations (OSSF) in order to protect their intellectual property and carry out contractual arrangements. As legal entities, OSSF help communities attain their long-term goals, hold community assets, provide resources to communities, and balance interests amongst different stakeholders. When OSS started to draw more business interests, commercial companies became involved with open source communities. The emergence of OSSF provides a good platform and opportunities for companies to exert their influence in a more direct way. This article summarizes the author's recent research regarding the relationships between company involvement, governance, revenue, and OSSF. Key findings in the research reported in this article contribute to the existing literature on open source and non-profits. The findings suggest practitioners of OSSF need to select a proper governance structure and corresponding strategies to achieve their goals.},

Software development is now enabled by open licenses that afford great freedoms and, in doing so, facilitate widespread collaboration. With this unprecedented pace of innovation, comes new obligations. In this article the authors discuss the areas of governance, education, and tools which together constitute the base capabilities required for the effective enterprise adoption of F/LOSS technology and principles. In naming the mandated organizational unit, F/LOSS Operations or Open Source "Operations" is preferable to F/LOSS or Open Source "Governance". This supports the wider role of being an enabler, rather than simply being responsible of policing and restricting the use of F/LOSS.},

Therefore, a methodological approach is needed to assess properly the performance and the value generation potential and to put such measure into organizational reports. International financial reporting framework is checked over conditions to allow value recognition of open sourced assets. Linux kernel development value is estimated to reflect worth of open source developments despite absence of book value due to inexistence of a single cost source. Several attempts to estimate a valuation of open source software have been performed previously. However, this study is the first to judge suitability of accounting framework to report on this value. The main finding is that open sourced assets do not fully accomplish conditions to be included in financial reports.

abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the general public's information needs concerning open source software (OSS) and OSS answerers' motivations for sharing their knowledge of OSS in social Q\&A. Design/methodology/approach - Two studies were carried out. In Study 1, a content analysis classifying OSS-related questions posted during December 2005-December 2012 in Yahoo! Answers was employed to investigate the general public's information needs regarding OSS. In Study 2, an online survey was conducted with OSS answerers in Yahoo! Answers in order to examine what motivates them to share and continue to share their knowledge of OSS in social Q\&A. In total, 1,463 invitations were sent out via Yahoo! Answers' internal e-mail function to those who provided answers to OSS-related questions during September 2009-September 2012. In total, 150 usable surveys were returned and used for data analysis. Findings - The findings from Study 1 indicate that the general public is most interested in finding out if there is OSS that meets their software need in a certain category (51.4 percent). Other popular question categories include the general description of OSS (15.6 percent), technical issues that they have with OSS (9.8 percent), and the advantages/disadvantages of using OSS (7.0 percent). Results on OSS answerers' motivations from Study 2 support that all seven motivations identified (i.e. altruism, enjoyment, ideology, learning, reputation, reciprocity, and self-efficacy) are important, with the smallest mean value being 4.42 out of seven (i.e. reciprocity). However, only altruism, ideology, self-efficacy, and enjoyment were found to significantly influence contribution continuance intention. Practical implications - With social Q\&A growing in popularity, OSS communities that look for ways to draw in more users from the general public are recommended to increase their presence in social Q\&A. The findings with regard to OSS answerers' motivations can also help OSS community leaders attract and guide more members who are interested in sharing their OSS knowledge in social Q\&A. Originality/value - By classifying OSS-related questions that are publicly available in Yahoo! Answers, this study offers a breakdown of the general public's information needs regarding OSS. In addition, results on OSS answerers' motivations suggest that in order to sustain their member contributions in social Q\&A, OSS community leaders should pay more attention to nurturing the motivations that are intrinsic (i.e. altruism, self-efficacy, enjoyment) and integrated (i.e. ideology).},

abstract = {The right to fork open source code is at the core of open source licensing. All open source licenses grant the right to fork their code, that is to start a new development effort using an existing code as its base. Thus, code forking represents the single greatest tool available for guaranteeing sustainability in open source software. In addition to bolstering program sustainability, code forking directly affects the governance of open source initiatives. Forking, and even the mere possibility of forking code, affects the governance and sustainability of open source initiatives on three distinct levels: software, community, and ecosystem. On the software level, the right to fork makes planned obsolescence, versioning, vendor lock-in, end-of-support issues, and similar initiatives all but impossible to implement. On the community level, forking impacts both sustainability and governance through the power it grants the community to safeguard against unfavourable actions by corporations or project leaders. On the business-ecosystem level forking can serve as a catalyst for innovation while simultaneously promoting better quality software through natural selection. Thus, forking helps keep open source initiatives relevant and presents opportunities for the development and commercialization of current and abandoned programs.},

abstract = {The past five decades have witnessed immense coevolution of methods and tools of information technology, and their practical and experimental application within the medical and healthcare domain. Healthcare itself continues to evolve in response to change in healthcare needs, progress in the scientific foundations of treatments, and in professional and managerial organization of affordable and effective services, in which patients and their families and carers increasingly participate. Taken together, these trends impose highly complex underlying challenges for the design, development, and sustainability of the quality of supporting information services and software infrastructure that are needed. The challenges are multidisciplinary and multiprofessional in scope, and they require deeper study and learning to inform policy and promote public awareness of the problems health services have faced in this area for many years. The repeating pattern of failure to live up to expectations of policy-driven national health IT initiatives has proved very costly and remains frustrating and unproductive for all involved. In this article, we highlight the barriers to progress and discuss the dangers of pursuing a standardization framework devoid of empirical testing and iterative development. We give the example of the openEHR Foundation, which was established at University College London (UCL) in London, England, with members in 80 countries. The Foundation is a not-for-profit company providing open specifications and working for generic standards for electronic records, informed directly by a wide range of implementation experience. We also introduce the Opereffa open source framework, which was developed at UCL based on these specifications and which has been downloaded in some 70 countries. We argue that such an approach is now essential to support good discipline, innovation, and governance at the heart of medicine and health services, in line with the new mandate for health commissioning in the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS), which emphasizes patient participation, innovation, transparency, and accountability.},

abstract = {The spread of free/libre open source software (FLOSS) represents one of the most important developments in the Information Technology (IT) industry in recent years. Within the context of a knowledge-based economy, this sort of approach appears exemplary for a growing number of industrial activities in which the amount of knowledge that has to be mastered is too large for a single agent, however powerful. Considering knowledge as a mutual resource requires a rethinking of the value chain concept, since cash flow is derived from use of the knowledge base (services, complementary products), not from the knowledge itself. In a classical industrial economics perspective, this reshaping of the value chain must be analyzed not only at the global ecosystem level (who produces what, between firms and universities, users and producers, etc.), but also at the industrial level (once the industry's role has been identified, how does it organize itself?). In this article, we argue for a more structured and global analysis, based on the tools of industrial economics, and thus starting from the basic conditions of the computer market and of the buyers' competence in software development (the "dominant user's skill").},

Specifically, I posit that within an organization 's IT department, OSS opinion leaders should have different social network profiles in terms of degree of centrality, betweenness, closeness and in-degree centrality from their peers who are not OSS opinion leaders. I also postulate that differences exist in the two groups' demographic characteristics such as age, educational level, tenure in organization, position in organization, and personality profiles such as openness and extraversiOn. A field survey using Social Network Analysis technique was carried out to test the hypotheses. Based on the findings, important theoretical and practical implications are identified.},

OSS is a multi-faceted phenomenon including code, a licensing structure, a community, development best practices, a method of diffusion. However, the current OSS collaborative researches place too much emphasis on collaborative behaviors, but ignore the study on collaborative process. By using the social network theory to abstract collaborative network topology, this paper proposes a method for constructing social network model, which considers both the contact relationship and level of collaboration between collaborators. Based on the definition of three types of contact behavior, this paper presents an approach to measuring the contact relationship intensity. Based on introducing and improving TF-IDF (term frequency-inverse document frequency), this paper presents the methods for calculating tag weights and work similarity between collaborators. Finally, by evaluating the model using data from the OSS website www.Codeplex .com, we verify that our model outperforms conventional models in both describing and forecasting collaborative behavior.

Individuals, businesses, and government agencies find it possible to harness the participation of volunteers to design products and complete project work. Simply stated, Open Source Software (OSS) is crowdsourcing applied to software development. OSS-based systems have become an important source of computing products, through operating systems such as Linux, Web services through Apache, or desktop environments such as Gnome. This study affords a through literature review developed within a discussion of the common motivations and relationships between crowdsourcing and OSS. It contributes to the literature by providing useful insights which researchers and organizations can utilize to leverage crowdsourcing and OSS concepts in addressing their efforts.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Drawing from the concept of entropy in open systems theory, this article contributes to organizational theory by illuminating organizational life cycle theory and exploring open source software development communities (OSSDC) with quantitative longitudinal data. In particular, this study uses functional data analysis to uncover the development patterns of open source software projects in terms of effectiveness and activity levels. Our findings show that the life cycles of OSSDC display an inverted-U shape in terms of effectiveness level and an inverted-S shape in terms of activity level. Although our results provide some evidence of distinct states, they do not imply that such states are predetermined or irreversible. On the contrary, these numerous states are viewed here as intrinsically dynamic. These findings not only give empirical support to the organizational life cycle metaphor in the context of OSSDC, but also aid practitioners and policy-makers in assessing online communities. Taking an open systems view of organizations, this study aids in reconciling some issues in life cycle theory, such as the irreversibility and pre-determinacy of life cycle models, and adds to a young but fast growing stream of literature on open source projects. Lastly, our findings remark the importance of fostering active communities for superior effectiveness and long-term survival of the community. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) is an environmental governance approach that deals with complex and interwoven ecological problems through a participatory environmental management framework. Practitioner, donor, and academic interest in this strategy is on the rise, and successful CBNRM organizations are experiencing internal and external pressures to help "transfer" their knowledge and experiences to other contexts and scales. If organized through the traditional top-down diffusion of innovation approach, many barriers to CBNRM transfer exist, beginning with organizational costs that may outweigh potential benefits. However, reframed as a more "open" and emergent process, the burdens of transfer may be reduced and benefits increased. We draw on an analogy from the Open Source Software (OSS) movement to suggest an organizational rationale for exchange and principles such as "porting," the "kernel," "copyleft," and "forking" that can guide CBNRM and for community-based organizations challenged to share their approach to conservation.

Different approaches for introducing usability activities into SW development have not yet been evaluated with respect to open source software (OSS). This paper tests the introduction of usability activities through four empirical case studies in the OSS development context. Case studies were carried out using four OSS projects that were not commercially supported. Empirical analysis suggests that usability specialists should become members of the OSS community, but, at the same time, should keep an objective view. The usability activities had substantially more impact when specialists introduced and carried them out as fellow members of the OSS community than as usability consultants from outside the community. The importance of management commitment for usability activities is discussed in the OSS context. The challenge of adapting usability and OSS development philosophies together should be researched further. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Purpose - In this paper the authors aim to investigate the importance of factors for the adoption of free/libre open source software (FLOSS) in the public sector. They seek to evaluate how different factors impact during the initiation and implementation phases of the adoption process. Design/methodology/approach - The authors base the methodological approach on two exploratory case studies with a contrasting result logic. They build a multi-level framework grounded both on literature review, and feedback from stakeholders. They then apply the framework to two case studies to better frame the findings. They consider phases of adoption (initiation, implementation) and the levels of adoption (technological, organizational, environmental, individual). Findings - In the case studies, the authors found the importance of a strong and decision-centric management board to give the impulse for the initiation phase of the process. As perceived by the stakeholders, a strong governmental support is of paramount importance to increase the adoption at the public level, although in the case studies examined the initiation stage started from the impulse of a championing management. Both case studies passed the initiation phase successfully. Continuous employees' training, organizational objectives consensus, and business process reengineering have been found important for the implementation phase. In the case study in which these factors were not in place, the implementation phase of adoption failed. Environmental factors - although relevant for the initiation of the adoption process - are less significant during the actual implementation of the adoption process, as the contrasting result logic from the case studies shows. Research limitations/implications - The study refers to two public organizations in a specific environmental setting. No causality among factors has been inferred. Quantitative objective data have been used to determine the success of adoption, for qualitative data multiple sources have been used when possible to limit threats to validity. Practical implications - The framework can be used by stakeholders in public organizations to better frame their adoption strategies and to compare results across institutions. Lessons learnt from the case studies can be useful to drive future adoptions of FLOSS. Originality/value - The framework combines phases of adoption and levels making it possible to frame the analysis of the case studies. It has been operationalized with a set of metrics, and with a protocol for the case studies to increase replicability value.},

The non-compliance to licenses in free and open source software development leads to the loss of reputation and the high costs of litigation for organizations. Towards an automated compliance management, we use the Open Digital Rights Language to implement the clauses of open source software licenses in a machine interpretable way and propose a novel algorithm that analyzes compatibility between free and open source software licenses. Also, we describe a framework that inductively manages compliance of license clauses in a free and open source software development. We simulate and evaluate the formalized license compliance management by analyzing a real-time open source software project GRASS.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

This paper aims to illustrate that if Free and/or Open Source Software is to be used as a building block to bridge the "digital divide" a more social and environmental perspective, which embraces the philosophy behind the software, needs to complement the technical perspective. The human environmental model is presented as a useful alternative which, if embraced, can inform more holistic information and communication technology (ICT) policies. Design/methodology/approach - Through a review of diffusion of innovations models an alternative diffusion framework is described and applied to an interpretive open source case study in South Africa. Findings - Contemporary diffusion and innovation models are narrowly focused on IT as a purely technological linear phenomenon. This perspective also underlies many ICT policies. A more socio-technical adoption model can assist in providing a more holistic approach to ICT policy development. Originality/value - The application of a new innovation model, the human environmental model, to ICT policy provides a holistic framework in which the complexity of the innovation process can be reflected in policy. Such an approach to ICT policy formulation will assist with broadening the perspective of policy makers from IT as a technical solution to IT as part of a socio-technical solution and recognise the duality of the innovation process.},

abstract = {Purpose - Originating in the USA and Northern Europe, Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) found on the internet its fertile environment. In more recent years, FOSS is becoming an increasingly important element in strategies for development and implementation of information and communication technologies also in developing countries. Mainstream research on FOSS has catered to the underlying principles or freedom, open organizational forms, and on its economical aspects. The purpose of this paper is to shed new light on the actual consequences of FOSS, often left in the background. Design/methodology/approach - The paper examines where FOSS principles' assumptions are likely to be more evident: in contexts of developing countries, which are geographically and organizationally far from the original environment of FOSS. A mixed methodology characterizes this work: quantitative and qualitative methods bring readers' attention to unusual empirical settings and downplayed organizational processes of information technology (IT) implementation and adoption. Findings - The consequences of FOSS on IT implementation and actual use are ambivalent. It is argued that FOSS adoption does not happen spontaneously, neither by decree, and that the relevance of open technologies as public goods remains in the different role of local actual technical and organizational capabilities, and environment conditions. Originality/value - Such a focus complements existing studies on the economical relevance of FOSS, which are not the focus of this paper.},

Then, we have proposed two-dimensional modeling based on the effort management in the past. In this paper, we propose new expanded maintenance model considering OSS edge computing by expanding the existing two Wiener processes model in order to consider the network environment under the edge OSS operation. Especially, it is important to control the amount of maintenance effort expense in the long-term phase. Then, we propose the optimization method based on the past two-dimensional Wiener processes model. Thereby, it will be helpful to assess the operation effort expenditures with network environment of edge OSS service. Moreover, actual effort data sets are analyzed to show numerical examples of the proposed optimization method considering the network environment under the edge OSS operation.},

doi = {10.25300/MISQ/2023/16789},
abstract = {In this study we identify a process of "entrainment" around open source software (OSS) development release cycles to capture patterns of self-organized task allocation among developers. We conducted an abductive, computationally intensive study of eight OSS projects, using relational event modeling to analyze 1,169,489 actions covering 93 major software releases. The process of entrainment that we identify involves three task allocation mechanisms: (1) developer-issue inertia, (2) developer contribution frequency, and (3) issue popularity. Our analysis demonstrates that these mechanisms and the phases of the release cycle entrain each other. Before a major release, developers engage in a concentrated mobilization phase, whereby they democratize development activity and increasingly allocate community contributions to the set of issues related to the release. After a major release, the extended cleanup phase garners a greater share of development work from recently highly active developers and dilutes the activity of these developers across a wider range of issues. Our theorizing suggests that major releases constitute important events around which OSS communities self-organize and we characterize how this occurs. Our research contributes to theorizing on organizing in OSS communities by explaining how self-organizing task allocation interacts with release cycles through the mechanism of entrainment. We also contribute to the literature on entrainment by showing how it may unfold in the context of online peer production communities such as OSS.},

Qualitative content analysis of the websites shows that less than 10\% (28) of the analyzed websites had some type of community rules such as CoC. In-depth analysis of the CoCs demonstrated many discrepancies in the terminology, length, enforcement, and adoption of codes of conduct. To investigate the usage of these CoCs, we investigate five women-focused OSS discussion forums. This analysis shows the value of creating/adopting a CoC and the impact CoC can have on the participation of women. We also present the challenges in the usage and enforcement of CoCs as discussed by women of these forums. We conclude with recommendations for better enforcement of CoC and reflection on the ethical underpinnings of CoC as a tool to improve diversity and inclusion in OSS.},

abstract = {Online peer production communities such as open source software (OSS) projects attract both identified and anonymous peripheral contributions (APC) (e.g., defect reports, feature requests, or forum posts). While we can attribute identified peripheral contributions (IPC) to specific individuals and OSS projects need them to succeed, one cannot trace back anonymous peripheral contributions (APC), and they can have both positive and negative ramifications for project development. Open platforms and managers face a challenging design choice in deciding whether to allow APC and for which tasks or what type of projects. We examine the impact that the ratio between APC and IPC has on OSS project performance. Our results suggest that the OSS projects perform the best when they contain a uniform anonymity level (i.e., they contain predominantly APC or predominantly IPC). However, our results also suggest that OSS projects have lower performance when the ratio between APC and IPC nears one (i.e., they contain close to the same number of APC and IPC). Furthermore, our results suggest that these results differ depending on the type of application that a project develops. Our study contributes to the ongoing debate about the implications of anonymity for online communities and informs managers about the effect that anonymous contributions have on their projects.},

Following the original study, we analyze project development data, archived in the GitHub repository, for the OSS project Rubinius. The analysis explores relationships among development and developer interdependencies as well as activity and order variation. Further, we extend the original study by examining the core relationships in the original study and investigating the external generalizability of the results by replicating the analysis on three analogous OSS projects: JRuby, mruby, and RubyMotion. These offer an opportunity to evaluate the generalizability of the original study to projects of different sizes and amount of activity, yet similar otherwise to the project in the original study. Another extension is the use of an additional control variable, length of activity sequence, which proves to have substantial implications of the study’s focal relationships. We find that three out of the four projects we analyze support the findings of the original study as it pertains to four relationships in the original study: order variation and developer interdependencies, activity variation and developer interdependencies, order variation and development interdependencies, and development and developer interdependencies. We also discuss the implications of our findings, especially in cases where the replication results differ from those in the original study and offer suggestions for future research that can help advance this stream of research.},

The paper provides an insight on the project life-span for a free open source software ecosystem. The statistical analysis of some project characteristics in GitHub is presented, and we find that the choices of programming languages, the number of files, the label format of the project, and the relevant membership expressions can impact the life-span of a project. Based on these discovered characteristics, we also propose a prediction model to estimate the project life-span in open source software ecosystems. These results may help developers reschedule the project in open source software ecosystem.},

By the turn of the millennium, FOSS developers had created the GNU/Linux operating system and several other significant products.
FOSS is now a crucial part of the networked world, providing both software—for example web servers, desktop environments, and the FOSS-derived Android operating system that powers the majority of the world's mobile phones—and many of the programming languages in which that software is written.
In one crucial respect (the production of the so-called "kernel" of the system) this effort stalled, and only the efforts of a project initiated in 1991 by Finnish student Linus Torvalds enabled the production of a complete operating system, usually simply called Linux.},

In this essay, I try to identify the ethical foundations of Stallmanism. I identify three major trends in Stallman’s thinking—libertarian, utilitarian, and communitarian—and I argue that none is sufficient to justify the radical claim that distributing non-Free software is always wrong (unless we accept extremely demanding ethical standards that Stallman himself does not consistently endorse). I recommend thinking of Stallmanism as an attempt to optimize the satisfaction of a number of core values, including freedom, cooperation, and happiness, and I stress the importance of connecting the Free software movement to other political struggles against oppression.},

L’article développe également une critique de ces topoï, en montrant qu’ils contribuent à occulter la continuité entre les transformations du monde numérique et celles du reste de la société. La conclusion revient sur l’essor récent du mouvement maker, fortement influencé par le logiciel libre, et met en avant la persistance des enjeux liés à la matière et au territoire, y compris au sein de la culture numérique.Alternate abstract:This article questions two ideas that have become commonplace in digital culture, and particularly in free software culture. The first one is the idea that cyberspace is an immaterial (or informational) space, exhibiting properties that are radically distinct from the ones of the material world. The second one is the idea of deterritorialization, according to which online communities are indifferent to the geographical reality of the territory. The article explains how these commonplace assumptions pervade free software culture, tracing their history back to cybernetics and the AI Lab at the MIT, and analyzing the globalization of free software culture since the 1990s. It also criticizes these topoï that often conceal how the transformations of the digital world are intertwined with the transformations of society at large. The conclusion tackles the emergence of the maker movement (which is strongly tied to free software culture) and insists on the persistence of issues related to materiality and territory, even within digital culture.?},

abstract = {Open source software (OSS) development as an inexpensive process to develop software threatens proprietary software business strategies. Providing business strategy to benefit from volunteer developers for the purpose of contributing to existing projects, as well as initiating new OSS projects is of utmost significance for companies in that industry. Therefore, it is important to figure out how groups of volunteer developers are formed as new developers join existing projects, and it is even more important to investigate what causes these developers to initiate new projects. The authors investigate network structure as a causal factor for both new project initiation within a group (representing group innovation) as well as new developers joining existing projects within a group (representing group growth). The authors develop four hypotheses.
1. Intra-group coupling has a positive impact on group growth, 2. Inter-group coupling has a positive impact on group innovation, 3. Inter-group structural hole has a positive impact on group innovation, 4. There is a trade-off between the effects of inter-group structural hole and inter-group coupling on group innovation.
The authors test these four hypotheses using data from OSS. Developers contributing to project tasks in groups other than their own can explore novel ideas for new project creation, because they can benefit from sharing knowledge, whereas developers contributing to project tasks inside their own group exploit ideas to improve those existing projects with better inside-group search possibility; and this demands more developers to join those group projects.},

Free software is the best choice when the reduction of production costs is necessary; nevertheless, the quality of free software may vary. This paper probably does not include all of the free software, but tries to describe or mention at least the most interesting programs. The first part of this paper summarizes the essential knowledge about UAVs, including the fundamentals of flight mechanics and aerodynamics, and the structure of a UAV system. The second section generally explains the modelling and simulation of a UAV. In the main section, more than 50 free programs for the design, analysis, modelling, and simulation of a UAV are described. Although the selection of the free software has been focused on small subsonic UAVs, the software can also be used for other categories of aircraft in some cases; e.g. for MAVs and large gliders. The applications with an historical importance are also included. Finally, the results of the analysis are evaluated and discussed--a block diagram of the free software is presented, possible connections between the programs are outlined, and future improvements of the free software are suggested.},

The rSCA package is efficient in dealing with both continuous and discrete variables, as well as nonlinear relationships between the variables. It divides the sample sets of dependent variables into different subsets (or subclusters) through a series of cutting and merging operations based upon the theory of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The modeling results are given by a cluster tree, which includes both intermediate and leaf subclusters as well as the flow paths from the root of the tree to each leaf subcluster specified by a series of cutting and merging actions. The rSCA package is a handy and easy-to-use tool and is freely available at http://cran.r-project.org/package=rSCA. By applying the developed package to air quality management in an urban environment, we demonstrate its effectiveness in dealing with the complicated relationships among multiple variables in real-world problems.},

Passive users play a critical role in the adoption and diffusion of OSS, and we need more research to understand their behaviors and motivations. We address this gap by drawing on the sociological theory of community markers. The three community markers in the context of OSS are loyalty, ideology, and identification. We also draw on marketing literature to propose four contributory behaviors of passive users of OSS that we theorize to be impacted by the community markers: user brand-extension, word-of-mouth, endorsement, and community involvement. We further classify passive users' contributory behaviors according to the difficulty of their enactment and examine the differential influence of the OSS community markers. Partial-least squares (PLS) analyses of data obtained through a survey of passive users of an OSS product provide support for the majority of the hypotheses.},

Likewise, the economic theory of the firm, building on Ronald Coase's (1937) seminal analysis, has become an increasingly important field in economics and management. Despite this resurgence, there is still little connection between the entrepreneurship literature and the literature on the firm, both in academia and in management practice. This book fills this gap by proposing and developing an entrepreneurial theory of the firm that focuses on the connections between entrepreneurship and management. Drawing on insights from Austrian economics, it describes entrepreneurship as judgmental decision made under uncertainty, showing how judgment is the driving force of the market economy and the key to understanding firm performance and organization.},

abstract = {Open-content communities that focus on co-creation without requirements for entry have to face the issue of institutional trust in contributors. This research investigates the various ways in which these communities manage this issue. It is shown that communities of open-source software--continue to--rely mainly on hierarchy (reserving write-access for higher echelons), which substitutes (the need for) trust. Encyclopedic communities, though, largely avoid this solution. In the particular case of Wikipedia, which is confronted with persistent vandalism, another arrangement has been pioneered instead. Trust (i.e. full write-access) is 'backgrounded' by means of a permanent mobilization of Wikipedians to monitor incoming edits. Computational approaches have been developed for the purpose, yielding both sophisticated monitoring tools that are used by human patrollers, and bots that operate autonomously. Measures of reputation are also under investigation within Wikipedia; their incorporation in monitoring efforts, as an indicator of the trustworthiness of editors, is envisaged. These collective monitoring efforts are interpreted as focusing on avoiding possible damage being inflicted on Wikipedian spaces, thereby being allowed to keep the discretionary powers of editing intact for all users. Further, the essential differences between backgrounding and substituting trust are elaborated. Finally it is argued that the Wikipedian monitoring of new edits, especially by its heavy reliance on computational tools, raises a number of moral questions that need to be answered urgently.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Purpose - Little is known as to the breadth and diversity of Open Source Software (OSS) applications for libraries and the development characteristics that influence the sustainability and success of projects creating them. The purpose of this paper is to address this gap by analyzing a large sample of library OSS projects. Design/methodology/approach - A total of 594 library OSS projects (469 from SourceForge and 125 from Foss4lib) are classified by type and further differentiated and assessed across a number of criteria including, but not limited to, sponsorship status, license type, and development status. Findings - While various types of library OSS applications were found to be under development and in use, the results show that there has been a steady decrease in the number of projects initiated since 2009. Although sponsorship was significantly positively associated with several indicators of OSS project success, the proportion of sponsored projects was relatively small compared to the proportions reported in some other contexts. In total, 71 percent of the projects have a restrictive license scheme, suggesting that the OSS ideology is valued among library OSS projects. The results also indicate that library OSS projects exhibit several characteristics that differ from the traditional developer-oriented OSS projects in terms of their technical environment. Originality/value - This study, as the first of its kind, offers a broader, more quantitative picture of the state of library OSS applications as well as the development characteristics of projects developing them. Several implications for research and practice, and directions for future research are provided.},

abstract = {Purpose - This study aims to explore the process of open source software (OSS) adoption in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and more specifically open source enterprise resource planning (ERP) as a "mission critical" OSS application in manufacturing. It also addresses the fundamental issue of ERP risk management that shapes this process. Design/methodology/approach - The approach is done through an interpretive case study of a small Canadian manufacturer that has adopted an open source ERP system. Findings - Interpreted in the light of the IT risk management, OSS and packaged application adoption literatures, results indicate that the small manufacturer successfully managed the adoption process in a rather intuitive manner, based on one guiding principle and nine practices. In analyzing the data, diffusion of innovation theory appeared to fit rather well with the situation observed and to offer rich insights to explain the mission-critical OSS adoption process. Research limitations/implications - A single case study of successful IT adoption should be eventually counterbalanced by future cases considered to be partial or total failures, using a wider multiple case study approach for comparative purposes. And this should include alternative theoretical interpretations and more detailed empirical work on the extent to which the distinctive features of OSS make its adoption more or less risk-laden. This initial effort should also be followed by further research on mission-critical OSS adoption in contexts other than SMEs (e.g. healthcare organizations) and other than ERP (e.g. customer-relationship management). Practical implications - This research confirms that open source is a credible alternative for SMEs that decide willingly or under external pressure to adopt a mission-critical system such as ERP. Moreover, it suggests that a high level of formalization is not always necessary. Originality/value - The authors argue that rich insights into the dynamics of the mission-critical OSS adoption process can be obtained by framing this process within an IT risk management context.},

abstract = {Adopting Open Source Software (OSS) that has an enterprise-wide implication could be complex and requires an organization to possess adequate level of internal human capital before doing so. In this study, we propose and validate two antecedents of organizational investment in internal human capital in the context of OSS adoption. They are (1) firm-specificity of OSS human capital, which denotes the extent to which the internal OSS human capital is strongly tied to the organization and cannot be equally well applied in other organizations, and (2) learning-related scale, which reflects the extent to which the organizational cost of learning OSS can be spread by applying the knowledge gained to other projects and business functions within the organization. Survey data collected from 114 senior Information Technology (IT) managers and professionals indicates that these two factors are positively associated with the investment in cultivating internal OSS human capital.

abstract = {The emergence of open source software (OSS) as a form of peer production and innovation challenges theories of organisation and strategy due to its non-reliance on traditional governance mechanisms to organise production. OSS requires firms to rethink the processes that facilitate value creation and capture. The objective of this paper is to theorise how firms create and capture value from OSS. We derive a model from extant research and refine it through the study of three inter-organisational networks. The findings reveal how a firm's ability to access a value network of complementors is crucial for effective value creation and capture. Two types of networks are evident: a high-density network of familiar partners and a low-density network of multiple, often unfamiliar, partners. Leveraging these networks depends on the level of commitment, volume of knowledge exchange and the alignment of objectives among participant firms. Effective governance is revealed as critical for creating and capturing value within both types of network; and depends on both formal and informal mechanisms. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Research on open source software (OSS) has examined value creation primarily from the perspective of the individuals and suppliers that create the software. The perspective of enterprise users who use and pay for OSS has been largely neglected so far. Understanding what paying customers want and how to create products and services they value is the cornerstone of any business model. Therefore, research on what enterprise users value in OSS is of paramount importance to OSS solution suppliers; it can be used to create a new customer base and sustain an existing one. This study examines the value of OSS as perceived by enterprise customers. Through an analysis of three literature streams (firm participation in open source software, business models, and customer value), a model on customer value creation was developed. Interviews were conducted with nine decision makers from enterprises that use OSS in operational projects. The key findings of this research are that: i) the maturity of the software determines the degree to which customers value their relationship with the supplier; ii) customers value differentiating functionality and costs savings; and iii) switching costs with OSS depend on the size, complexity, and dependencies of the software itself. This research identifies the points of value that the suppliers of OSS should focus on, and it points to the need for marketing strategies that can demonstrate this value to enterprise customers.},

abstract = {Purpose - This paper seeks to explore how market orientation facilitates the strategic flexibility of business models grounded in open innovation. The authors suggest that the new paradigm of open innovation may impact a firm's adaptability and responsiveness under conditions of environmental flux. However, extending innovation capacity by opening the innovation process poses major challenges for firms. The aims of this study are to explore the characteristics of open innovation activity and to contemplate the role of strategic flexibility in the design of business models based upon open innovation. Design/methodology/approach - The study draws upon a qualitative research approach through a longitudinal case study in the field of open source software (OSS). The empirical case illustrates how an OSS firm utilizes signals in its environment to flexibly alter its business model. Findings - A business model that embodies open innovation raises dilemmas between open and closed innovation paradigms. However, the authors' case highlights that an ambidextrous approach that combines market orientation with the principles of open innovation increases profitability, shortens time to market through effective market access, and enhances innovation capability. Research limitations/implications - The results have profound implications for industrial marketers, managers, management consultants and business educators. They can use the insights gleaned from this research to guide the development of business models that involve open innovation. The results indicate that firms involved in open innovation need reactive strategic flexibility to cope with the environmental diversity and variability. However, this study analyzes a single case in the field of OSS and one should be cautious when generalizing the findings. Originality/value - This paper improves the understanding of the relationship between flexibility and market orientation. It combines two areas that have previously been discussed separately, i.e. market orientation and open innovation.},

abstract = {This paper identifies the factors affecting the operational self-sustainability (OSS) of Indian Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) using multiple regression analysis. It shows revenue generation factor, cost efficiency factor and growth factor to have a positive influence on the OSS of Indian MFIs. Adjusted impairment loan loss allowance ratio, a portfolio risk factor and average loan size per borrower, a development factor, are seen to have a negative influence on OSS of Indian MFIs. The results thus infer five significant factors that Indian MFI managers must concentrate on to enhance the OSS of their organizations. The authors then discuss how mismanaging these five factors can deviate an MFI from its social goal of poverty alleviation. The crisis in Indian microfinance industry is explored to unveil the dangers involved in mismanagement of these factors. The paper concludes by stating that it is imperative for Indian MFI managers to introspect about their lending and recovery practices, so as to ensure that they manage the factors affecting their OSS, without exploiting the poor clientele.},

abstract = {US government procurement guidelines -- including those for information technology (IT) purchases -- were created and, over many years, have been refined to increase efficiency in purchasing by fostering competition and preventing agency problems and biased decision making. One way federal procurement regulations advance public interest is by seeking "optimal" or "best" value in purchasing decisions. For each purchasing option, one determines the net benefit, which is a discounted difference between all present and future costs and benefits. This study considers the implications of pricing thresholds on government procurement processes in light of the advent and increasing use of free enterprise software. Researchers conducted a randomized Web-based survey of 138 government procurement officials (IT managers). The results indicate that free software may provide procurement officials with an opportunity to bypass institutionalized procurement best practices. The fieldwork indicates that IT purchases made through a full procurement process may enjoy a higher level of satisfaction than purchases of paid and free software acquired with limited or no procurement process review.},

Our analysis suggests that a serious analysis of the rationality, motivations and consequences of such public interventions involves a careful examination of the various roles of the public powers and the various categories of software involved. We provide empirical evidence that FOSS support is stronger in countries (i) where e-government services are more largely available, and (ii) where the domestic software industry is lagging behind. This evidence supports common views among FOSS advocates.},

But the argument for free software derives its true normative weight from social justice considerations: the evaluation of the basis for a software economy should be guided by consideration of the social and cultural states which are the ultimate goals of any economic arrangement. That is, the software economy should be evaluated in light of its ability to provide justice. We conclude with a discussion of possible avenues for reform.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

This article argues that China now needs a different voice against the IPR dogma and should make a contribution to the international effort against intellectual monopoly, and the software industry could be where to start. On one hand, China should take further measures to promote the development of free/open source software. On the other hand, China needs to scrutinize and reform relevant economic and legal systems and adjust strategy for international negotiations, strengthening antitrust enforcement against software monopoly and taking a tough stance against software patents in international community.

This paper reviews the assessment of the routines and capabilities literature provided by T. Felin and N. J. Foss, 'The Endogenous Origins of Experience, Routines and Organizational Capabilities: The Poverty of Stimulus', published by the Journal of Institutional Economics. Although valuable points are raised, the assessment is largely off target because it is fixated on the implausible view that the literature assessed is strongly shaped by the tradition of behavioral psychology (B. F. Skinner and others). At the same time, important portions of the routines and capabilities literature that are highly relevant to the authors' substantive concerns, and which are plainly inconsistent with the main interpretive claim, are not considered.

This paper offers an alternative to the view of the routines literature provided by T. Felin and N. J. Foss, 'The Endogenous Origins of Experience, Routines and Organizational Capabilities: The Poverty of Stimulus', published by the Journal of Institutional Economics. The emphasis here is on practice-based theories of organizational routines that are grounded in close, ethnographic observation of real routines. While this literature may be unfamiliar to some readers, it is relevant here because it specifically contradicts the core assertions made by Felin and Foss. Further, this literature provides a clear theoretical foundation for subsequent research on problems such as stability and change in routines, the nature of capabilities and dynamic capabilities, and complex ecologies of routines.

We present occupancy and patient scheduling models to help address these challenges. These patient flow models can be used to explore the relationship between procedure scheduling practices and the resulting occupancy on inpatient obstetrical units such as labor and delivery and postpartum. The models capture numerous important characteristics of inpatient obstetrical patient flow such as time of day and day of week dependent arrivals and length of stay, multiple patient types and clinical interventions, and multiple patient care units with inter-unit patient transfers. We have used these models in several projects at different hospitals involving design of procedure scheduling templates and analysis of inpatient obstetrical capacity. In the development of these models, we made heavy use of open source software tools and have released the entire project as a free and open source model and software toolkit.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

Adoption studies represent a particularly promising area for information system researchers to investigate the relationship between the specific properties of FLOSS and the processes of implementation and use.

abstract = {The focus of existing open source software (OSS) research has been on how and why individuals and firms add to the commons of public OSS code-that is, on the "giving" side of this open innovation process. In contrast, research on the corresponding "receiving" side of the innovation process is scarce. We address this gap, studying how existing OSS code is reused and serves as an input to further OSS development. Our findings are based on a survey with 686 responses from OSS developers. As the most interesting results, our multivariate analyses of developers' code reuse behavior point out that developers with larger personal networks within the OSS community and those who have experience in a greater number of OSS projects reuse more, presumably because both network size and a broad project experience facilitate local search for reusable artifacts. Moreover, we find that a development paradigm that calls for releasing an initial functioning version of the software early-as the "credible promise" in OSS-leads to increased reuse. Finally, we identify developers' interest in tackling difficult technical challenges as detrimental to efficient reuse-based innovation. Beyond OSS, we discuss the relevance of our findings for companies developing software and for the receiving side of open innovation processes, in general. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {As a new phenomenon in the software industry, Open Source Software (OSS) development has attracted a high level of research interest. Examining what motivates participants in OSS projects and how to enhance the effects of motivations has received increased attention in recent years. This study is prompted by the significant but detail-lacking examination of differential effects of various types of extrinsic motivations on participants' task effort in OSS projects and their interaction effects with participants' psychological states. Drawing upon self-determination theory, we establish four types of extrinsic motivations in OSS communities (i.e., external, introjected, identified, and integrated motivation) and investigate how these types affect task effort differently. Also, integrating self-determination theory with affective event theory, we study how satisfaction of needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness moderates the relationships between extrinsic motivations and task effort. The research model is largely supported by data from 250 participants in various OSS projects. Theoretical contribution and practical implications are discussed. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {When software companies using free/libre open source software (F/LOSS) in their product and service offerings attempt to manage the customer pipeline and develop a community, problems may arise. Project communities and customer pipelines are not the same thing, although some participants belong to both groups. This creates confusion in the business and tension with the community. F/LOSS communities have been on the rise for the past two decades. Companies began to form around F/LOSS projects in the early 1990s, with some creating their own F/LOSS projects and some wrapping themselves around existing projects. This has created tension between company managers who are trying to earn profits from software that is "available for free," and from developers in communities that do not necessarily want to create software for someone else's corporate gain. This happens regardless of whether the company created the F/LOSS-licensed project itself, or participates in external communities around other projects, or both. This article demonstrates that separating the concepts of community and customer, and of project and product, allows a business to manage clearly both challenges of developing an engaged community and maximizing profits.},

We propose a socio-technical pattern that can be used to locate emerging coordination problems in Open Source projects. With the help of our tool and method called TESNA, we demonstrate a method to monitor the socio-technical core-periphery movement in Open Source projects. We then study the impact of different core-periphery movements on Open Source projects. We conclude that a steady core-periphery shift towards the core is beneficial to the project, whereas shifts away from the core are clearly not good. Furthermore, oscillatory shifts towards and away from the core can be considered as an indication of the instability of the project. Such an analysis can provide developers with a good insight into the health of an Open Source project. Researchers can gain from the pattern theory, and from the method we use to study the core-periphery movements. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

Hardware companies are not the only entity interested in phone operating systems. Google, ever-focused on routing human eyes to its controlled advertising, realizes that even more eyes will be on mobile computing platforms in the future. With this goal in mind, Google released the Android/Linux system, now available on a variety of phones in varying degrees of software freedom. Seeking software freedom on mobile devices will remain a complicated endeavour for some time. Your community should utilize the F/LOSS releases from companies, but should not forget that, until viable community forks exist, software freedom on these devices exists at the whim of these companies.},

Guest Editors: Wei Jiang and Anurag Agarwal and Regular papers This paper develops tests and validates a model for the antecedents of open source software (OSS) defects, using Data and Text Mining. The public archives of OSS projects are used to access historical data on over 5,000 active and mature OSS projects. Using domain knowledge and exploratory analysis, a wide range of variables is identified from the process, product, resource, and end-user characteristics of a project to ensure that the model is robust and considers all aspects of the system. Multiple Data Mining techniques are used to refine the model and data is enriched by the use of Text Mining for knowledge discovery from qualitative information. The study demonstrates the suitability of Data Mining and Text Mining for model building. Results indicate that project type, end-user activity, process quality, team size and project popularity have a significant impact on the defect density of operational OSS projects. Since many organizations, both for profit and not for profit, are beginning to use Open Source Software as an economic alternative to commercial software, these results can be used in the process of deciding what software can be reasonably maintained by an organization.

abstract = {Purpose - YADE-OPEN DEM is an open-source software based on the discrete element method, (DEM) which uses object oriented programming techniques. The purpose of this paper is to describe the software architecture. Design/methodology/approach - The DEM chosen uses position, orientation, velocity and angular velocity as independent variables of simulated particles which are subject to explicit leapfrog time-integration scheme (Lagrangian method). The three-dimensional dynamics equations based on the classical Newtonian approach for the second law of motion are used. The track of forces and moments acting on each particle is kept at every time step. Contact forces depend on the particle geometry overlap and material properties. The normal, tangential and moment components of interaction force are included. Findings - An effort is undertaken to extract the underlying object oriented abstractions in the DEM. These abstractions are implemented in C++, conform to object oriented design principles and use design patterns. Based on that, a software framework is developed in which the abstractions provide the interface where the modelling methods can be plugged-in. Originality/value - The resulting YADE-OPEN DEM framework is designed in a generic way which provides great flexibility when adding new scientific simulation code. Some of the advantages are that numerous simulation methods can be coupled within the same framework while plug-ins can import data from other software. In addition, this promotes code improvement through open-source development and allows feedback from the community. However implementing such models requires that one adheres to the framework design and the YADE framework is a new emerging software. To download the software see http : //yade.wikia.com webpage.

abstract = {Competition from open source software and free software (OSS/FS) alternatives is causing proprietary software producers to reevaluate product strategies. OSS/FS alternatives complicate an already complex information goods market plagued by piracy concerns. Although producer perspectives on software pricing and piracy controls have been addressed extensively, consumers' perspective and willingness to pay for commercial software is not very well understood. This paper empirically determines willingness to pay for a leading commercial software application (Microsoft Office) in the presence of an OSS/FS alternative. A contingent valuation approach is used to elicit willingness to pay for the application. The research design employs a 2 × 2 × 2 experiment to investigate the impact of preventive control, deterrence control, and OSS/FS alternative. The results indicate that the availability of an OSS/FS alternative has little impact on willingness to pay for Microsoft Office. However, piracy controls significantly increase willingness to pay for Microsoft Office, even in the presence of OSS/FS alternatives. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Purpose - Open source software (OSS) products have rapidly acquired a notable importance in the last years among consumers and firms all over the world. They are mostly developed and distributed through online social networks thanks to the voluntary and collaborative actions of their members. However, their innovation and development has to face up the existence of free-riders which can benefit from the knowledge developed in the online social network. This paper aims to understand the factors that moderate the opportunistic behaviour in OSS development and distribution, which will help to correctly manage the OSS innovations. Design/methodology/approach - The influence of reputation on members' satisfaction and participation intentions in OSS online social networks are measured. Additionally, the impact of being an active and satisfied member on his/her commitment and intention to use the OSS products are studied. After the validation of measurement scales the hypotheses are contrasted with structural modelling. Findings - This research show that perceived reputation acts as a deterrent factor of free-riders. More specifically, reputation exerts a positive and significant effect on member's satisfaction with previous interactions and an indirect effect on participation intentions in the social network through satisfaction. Besides, these two outcomes of reputation boost the members' affective commitment to the OSS and, as a consequence, the intention to use OSS products is also increased. Practical implications - Reputation and satisfaction are two crucial aspects in explaining the success of an online social network since they serve to guarantee the interaction among its members. In addition, participation continuance intentions in an online network may help to increase the levels of affective commitment and loyalty to the mutual interest of the network (the OSS in this case). This result may be especially relevant for commercial networks, which are based on the admiration to a brand, firm or product. Originality/value - The analysis of online social networks as a development and distribution channel and the role of reputation in promoting members' participation (that is, avoiding opportunistic behaviour) represent a new contribution to the analysis of online social networks. This research field has acquired a notable popularity in recent years. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Organizational scholars have recently argued that economic theories and assumptions have adversely shaped management practice and human behavior, not only leading to the incorporation of trust-eroding market mechanisms into organizations, but also unnecessarily creating self-interested behavior. A number of highly influential papers have argued that the self-fulfilling nature of (even false) theories provides the underlying mechanism through which economics has adversely shaped not just social science but also management practice and individual behavior. We question these arguments and argue that there are important boundary conditions to theories falsely fulfilling themselves, boundary conditions that have hitherto been unexplored in organizational research, and boundary conditions that question the underlying premises used by organizational scholars and social scientists to attack economics. We specifically build on highly relevant findings from social psychology, philosophy, and organizational economics to show how (1) objective reality and (2) human nature provide two important boundary conditions for theories (falsely or otherwise) fulfilling themselves. We also defend organizational economics, specifically the use of high-powered incentives in organizations, and argue that self-interest (rightly understood) facilitates in creating beneficial individual and collective and societal outcomes.

This is in spite of: 1. the rise in commercial development and support for F/LOSS, 2. the goal of most F/LOSS projects to incorporate improvements, which is actually a form of financial gain, 3. official definitions of "commercial item" that include F/LOSS, and 4. F/LOSS licenses and projects that clearly approve of commercial support. In reality there are two types of commercial software: proprietary software and F/LOSS. This paper provides examples for each of the four points mentioned, briefly notes some alternative terms, and ends with some conclusions, explaining why it is important to understand that F/LOSS software is almost always commercial.},

abstract = {The purpose of this paper is to develop and test a model of the relative performance of open source software (OSS) projects. This paper evaluates the relative performance of OSS projects by evaluating multiple project inputs and multiple project outputs by using a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. The DEA model produces an efficiency score for each project based on project inputs and outputs. The method of producing an efficiency score is based on the convex envelopment technology structure. The efficiency measure quantifies a "distance" to an efficient frontier. The DEA model produced an index of corresponding intensities linking an inefficient project to its benchmark efficient project(s). The inefficiency measures produced an ordering of inefficient projects. Eight projects were found to be "efficient" and used as benchmarking projects. This research is limited to only security-based OSS projects. Future research on other areas of OSS projects is warranted. The result of this research is a practical model that can be used by OSS project developers to evaluate the relative performance of their projects and make resource decisions. An OSS project manger can effectively use these results to critically evaluate resources for their project and judge the relative efficiency of the resources.},

However, when one plans to study the adequacy of open source software (OSS), it is necessary to have a method of qualification and selection adapted to the characteristics of this type of software and to precisely examine the constraints and risks specific to OSS. Since the open source field has a very broad scope, it is also necessary to use a qualification method that differentiates between numerous candidates to meet technical, functional and strategic requirements. The vast amount of available OSS software requires a methodology to allow for the evaluation of potential candidates to meet business requirements. The QSOS methodology allows for an iterative needs analysis for gauging the technical, functional, and strategic capabilities of OSS products.},

Employees belonging to the open source movement often advocate the use of open source software within their organization. Hence, their belief in the underlying open source software ideology may influence the decision making on the adoption of open source software. This may result in an ideological—rather than pragmatic—decision. A recent study has shown that American organizations are quite pragmatic in their adoption decision. We argue that there may be circumstances in which there is more opportunity for ideological behavior. We therefore investigated the organizational adoption decision in Belgian organizations. Our results indicate that most organizations are pragmatic in their decision making. However, we have found evidence that suggests that the influence of ideology should not be completely disregarded in small organizations.},

First, we show that both affordable technology and sound policy are necessary for digital inclusion. Second, we look at how these two technologies are extended, integrated, and customized in information and communication technology (ICT) solutions that are both creative and effective. Third, we describe how the hardware and software in networked systems have been tailored to support applications that are as diverse as the people using them. We also present a series of case studies that highlight specific wireless network and open source technologies and their impact on the education of children, as well as the development of local communities.},

Qualitative data were collected over a four year period using a virtual ethnography in a study of free and open source software development and, in particular, a study of a free software community, GNUenterprise, located at www.gnuenterprise.org, which has the goal of developing a free enterprise resource planning software system. It is concluded that the ideology of the free software movement continues to be one of the factors which mobilize people to contribute to free and open source software development. This movement represents a new type of computerization movement which promotes the investment of time in learning a new software development process instead of investment of money in the acquisition and use of new technology. The research findings are limited by a detailed study of only one free software development project. This paper is of significance to software developers and managers of firms who wish to incorporate free and open source software into their companies. This research presents an original conceptual diagram and framework for how computerization movements have emerged into an occupational community. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of online networking during the innovation process, including its role(s) in communication, cooperation and coordination. The paper neither implicitly assumes that online computer-based networking is a prerequisite for the innovation process nor denies the possibility that innovation can emerge and successfully survive without it. It merely presupposes that, in cases of innovation where information and communication technologies play a substantial role, non-proprietarity may offer an interesting alternative to innovations based on proprietary knowledge. The paper borrows from the theory of communities-of-practice, which takes into account social relations, contacts, and the transfer and incorporation of knowledge. Open source innovation is not the exclusive preserve of computer nerds, but also has implications for existing software manufacturers. The paper therefore includes the case of IBM, a company which has successfully integrated this new and more open way of collaboration into its business model. The paper concludes that online computer-based innovation fundamentally challenges current ways of communicating, cooperating and coordinating during the innovation and product development process. Moreover, it challenges the traditional business model in that it forces the actors involved to shift the focus from the innovation itself to the identification of new supporting services higher up the value chain.},

abstract = {Anecdotal and research evidences show that the Free and Open Source Software (F/OSS) development model has produced a paradigm shift in the way we develop, support, and distribute software. This shift is not only redefining the software industry but also the way we teach and learn in our software engineering (SE) courses. But for many universities F/OSS is seen as an optional low cost technology to support the IT infrastructure and administrational duties. Few see F/OSS as an opportunity for students to learn the SE concepts and skills we teach. Furthermore, it is still an open question as to whether the F/OSS methodology can be effectively used to teach SE courses within the formally structured curriculum in most universities. This paper discusses F/OSS projects as bazaars of learning that offer a meaningful learning context. The discussion is centered on a pilot study in which students were involved in software testing in F/OSS projects. We present the teaching and learning framework we used in the pilot study and report on our experiences, lessons learned, and some practical problems we encountered. Our grading and evaluation approach show that the students did relatively well as bug hunters and reporters. Results from two online surveys indicate that students are motivated in participating in software testing in the bazaar, and they are willing to participate in project activities long after their graduation. The study reveals one possible way SE educators can teach and integrate F/OSS into their formal curricular structure. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Traditionally, computer and software applications have been used by economists to off-load otherwise complex or tedious tasks onto technology, freeing up time and intellect to address other, intellectually more rewarding, aspects of research. On the negative side, this increasing dependence on computers has resulted in research that has become increasingly difficult to replicate. In this paper, we propose some basic standards to improve the production and reporting of computational results in economics for the purpose of accuracy and reproducibility. In particular, we make recommendations on four aspects of the process: computational practice, published reporting, supporting documentation, and visualization. Also, we reflect on current developments in the practice of computing and visualization, such as integrated dynamic electronic documents, distributed computing systems, open source software, and their potential usefulness in making computational and empirical research in economics more easily reproducible.

This article evidences the hypothesis that it is possible to adopt the knowledge management with the union and customization of the free software tools. In such a way, any organization can act in the technological management and apply the politics of knowledge management, either to a micro-company or a great corporation. A case study is presented in a technological undergraduate course of a Federal Center of Technological Education. The study case presents the research and the development of an innovative model of management for the course. Finally, the authors defend that this model can be applied to other organizations based upon a series of results and conclusions. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

Social network analysis was used to generate the indices of social structure. The finding suggests that the interaction pattern of OSS projects evolves from a single hub at the beginning to a core/periphery model as the projects move forward.},

However, a realistic assessment of OSS projects, specifically the motivations of OSS developers and their attitude toward software usability, lack of user feedback, and absence of usability experts in OSS projects, leads to the conclusion that strategies to improve OSS usability are unlikely to succeed anytime soon. The only exceptions will be OSS which enjoy sufficient financial support from individuals and organizations, and software that were developed by commercial software producers and later released under an open source license.},

This paper develops and tests a model of the impacts of license restrictiveness and organizational sponsorship on two indicators of success: user interest in, and development activity on, open source software development projects. Using data gathered from Freshmeat.net and project home pages, the main conclusions derived from the analysis are that (1) license restrictiveness and organizational sponsorship interact to influence user perceptions of the likely utility of open source software in such a way that users are most attracted to projects that are sponsored by nonmarket organizations and that employ nonrestrictive licenses, and (2) licensing and sponsorship address complementary developer motivations such that the influence of licensing on development activity depends on what kind of organizational sponsor a project has. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, and the paper outlines several avenues for future research. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

Some governments have actually begun to procure FLOSS, whereas others have channeled public funds to large-scale FLOSS projects. This study demonstrates both the benefits and the risks of government policy favoring FLOSS from the perspective of economics, technology, and politics, and to further analyze whether these same policy goals can be achieved through government support of FLOSS. The most fundamental argument of the study is that, in lending its support to FLOSS, the difference between a government user and a business user is that the government should take into account society's long-term interests, not merely its own interests as a consumer.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) development teams provide an interesting and convenient setting for studying distributed work. We begin by answering perhaps the most basic question: what is the social structure of these teams? We conducted social network analyses of bug-fixing interactions from three repositories: Sourceforge, GNU Savannah and Apache Bugzilla. We find that some OSS teams are highly centralized, but contrary to expectation, others are not. Projects are mostly quite hierarchical on four measures of hierarchy, consistent with past research but contrary to the naive image of these projects. Furthermore, we find that the level of centralization is negatively correlated with project size, suggesting that larger projects become more modular, or possibly that becoming more modular is a key to growth. The paper makes a further methodological contribution by identifying appropriate analysis approaches for interaction data. We conclude by sketching directions for future research.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {The software industry is rapidly being reformed by the collective development of open, common software - open source software (OSS) - sometimes being free at no charge, but always with the source code revealed for changing, testing and improvement. The purpose here is to examine the role and power of software in the economy and review the economic impacts of the trend to OSS on the software industry, largely from a European industrial and social perspective. The paper briefly traces the economic significance of the software industry and the dominance in packaged software of the large US publishers, the phenomena of natural monopolies building in software packages, and the need for different industry structure for Europe, as it exhibits a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) and system integrator structure. It then examines the balancing affects of OSS. The paper also addresses the role that poor software plays in creating new costs or externalities for its users when it fails, contrasting the robustness of open source in defect repair. The paper finds that the way forward in economic terms for Europe may well be to follow and encourage OSS for reasons of creating a strong software industry and for a counterbalance to current monopolistic trends. The paper's findings emphasise the need for investment, education and encouragement in OSS, by both the public and private sectors, to build a strong knowledge-based society in Europe. The paper introduces the ideas of the basic economic mechanisms of volume sales of software as a good, with analysis of the industry impacts of confluence of the network effect coupled with the law of increasing returns with volume to drive monopolistic positions in the proprietary software package industry.},

abstract = {With increased commoditisation of traditional services, telecommunications service providers are exploiting their core network-centric strengths and targeting increased revenues from ICT-based services. Aimed at enterprise-scale customers, these services range from the provision of IP-VPNs to full IT outsourcing, and span the range of infrastructure domains from desktop to data centre. The primary challenge lies not in the ICT infrastructure itself, but in the increasing demands placed upon the operational support systems (OSS) to deliver services holistically across the range of ICT operations. Based on BT's experience with corporate and government customers, this paper presents a detailed study of the ICT challenges on the OSS in achieving an end-to-end view of ICT service management. It proposes an architectural route forward and highlights BT's work on policy-based service management solutions. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

Mass-market consumers can be divided between those who are informed about the existence of OSS and those who are uninformed. Since OSS producers have little incentive to advertise, there may be a substantial mass of uniformed consumers, leading to market failures that may justify government intervention. We study three government policies: (a) mandated adoption, whereby the government forces public agencies, schools, and universities to adopt OSS, (b) information provision, whereby the government informs the uninformed users about the existence and the characteristics of OSS, and (c) subsidy, whereby the government makes a payment to consumers if they adopt OSS. We show that mandated adoption and information provision may increase social welfare, but the subsidy always reduces it. When network externalities are added to the model, we show that mandated adoption and information provision may increase social welfare if they help the market to tip towards standardization.

We would therefore expect incompatible strains of software to develop, and consequently a demand for standardization to arise. However, this is only partly the case. In this paper we explore which other coordinative mechanisms are at work apart from committee standardization. We identify four other categories of coordinative mechanisms, and illustrate their relevance in OSS development. They complement committee standardization, can be used in standardization, and are sometimes an alternative to standardization. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Resistance is frequently viewed as a negative aspect of human interaction. Although resistance manifests itself in numerous ways, resistance to change is frequent when individuals are introduced to new ideas or innovations. This form of resistance can limit forward progress of either an individual or an organization. However, a few papers investigated possible positive roles of resistance in human life. This paper proposes that resistance can be a positive motivator to achieve change. Open source software (OSS) is a technological innovation that is laden with aspects of resistance. One of the initial motivations for the development of open source software was "psychological reactance" on the part of a few software developers. Reactance is a limited part of the overall construct of resistance; specifically, resistance caused by external threats to an individual's freedom of choice, which generally manifests itself affectively. This paper looks at the role of resistance as a motivator for technological innovation from the perspective of open source softwre development. It also presents techniques for overcoming resistance to the adoption of open source software. Specific techniques presented are the Alpha and Omega strategies for overcoming resistance. Alpha strategies work by attempting to increase the approach forces towards some goal. Conversely, Omega strategies attempt to decrease the avoidance forces, thereby removing resistance to change. Both techniques are used in the context of open source software development to motivate participants.},

The "private investment" model assumes returns to the innovator result from private goods and efficient regimes of intellectual property protection. The "collective action" model assumes that under conditions of market failure, innovators collaborate in order to produce a public good. The phenomenon of open source software development shows that users program to solve their own as well as shared technical problems, and freely reveal their innovations without appropriating private returns from selling the software. This paper proposes that open source software development is an exemplar of a compound "private-collective" model of innovation that contains elements of both the private investment and the collective action models and can offer society the "best of both worlds" under many conditions. A new set of research questions this model raises for scholars in organization science are described.},

That is what writing a program will be like if software patents continue. The sparks of creativity and individualism that have driven the computer revolution will be snuffed out.--Richard Stallman and Simson Garfinkel (1992)
This article highlights the vulnerability of the open source software movement to patent infringement lawsuits. With the number of patents on software algorithms predicted to exceed 100,000 this year, it is now virtually impossible to write any computer program, however trivial, that does not violate one or more patents. This paper argues that this situation is not only ludicrous, but it is contrary to any reasonable reading of the Constitution's intentions with respect to the protection of intellectual property. In addition, the patentability of software algorithms stems from the U.S. Supreme Court's failure to grasp one of the most fundamental concepts of computer science. From this error stems a long, dysfunctional chain of legal reasoning and patent policies, the effect of which has been to transform the mental reasoning processes, abstract knowledge, and scientific truths of computing into patentable subject matter. The result poses a potentially catastrophic threat not only to the open source software movement and the emerging industry of electronic commerce, but more fundamentally, to the very existence of the sciences of computing, without which further U.S. technological leadership will be impossible to sustain.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

However, it is difficult to further enrich the features of text encoding vectors. At the same time, most existing bug report classification methods ignore the submitter's personal information. To solve these problems, we construct nine personal information characteristics of bug report submitters in GitHub by survey. Then, we propose a GitHub bug report classification method named personal information fine‐tuning network (PIFTNet) based on transfer learning and the submitter's personal information. PIFTNet transfers the general text feature vectors in bidirectional encoder representation from transformers (BERT) to the domain of bug report classification by fine‐tuning the pre‐training parameters in BERT. It also combines the text characteristics and the characteristics of the submitter's personal information to construct the classification model. In addition, we propose a two‐stage training method to alleviate the catastrophic changes in the pre‐training parameters and loss of the initially learned knowledge caused by direct training of PIFTNet. We verify the proposed PIFTNet on the dataset extracted from GitHub and empirical results prove the effectiveness of PIFTNet.},

However, users often tend to acquire codes from the community and are reluctant to contribute their knowledge. Integrating the motivational theory and social capital theory, this article intends to explore users’ contribution in OSS communities. A mixed method of SEM and fsQCA was used to perform data analysis. We found that intrinsic motivations (flow experience and self-efficacy), extrinsic motivations (perceived reputation and reciprocity), social interaction ties, community identification, and common language positively affect users’ contribution intention. Trust has no effect on the contribution intention. The fsQCA results indicated that flow experience, perceived reputation, reciprocity and trust are the common core conditions of four configurations leading to contribution intention. The results suggest that OSS communities need to be concerned with users’ motivations and develop social capital in order to encourage their contribution.},

abstract = {Research SummaryWe extend the ownership competence framework by discussing how the features of the institutional environment influence the exercise of ownership competence. Two amendments are proposed. First, we add a new dimension to the framework, institutional competence (“where to own”), which denotes that individuals and firms have heterogeneous abilities to assess how an institutional environment affects the potential uses of a resource. Second, we argue that institutional uncertainty moderates the three original dimensions of the framework, impairing the exercise of ownership competence of some entrepreneurs and firms more than of others. We use examples from the literature to illustrate our arguments. We also discuss the implications of our analysis.Managerial SummaryThe ownership competence framework is built on the idea that business owners have different abilities to deploy resources and create value. Starting from this contribution, we shed light on the specific role that the institutional environment plays in the exercise of ownership competence. We argue that the ownership competence framework must explicitly consider where ownership takes place in order to explain the actions of entrepreneurs and firms. We also claim that institutional uncertainty can influence value creation in more subtle ways than indicated in the original formulation of the ownership competence framework. All in all, this article paves the way for institutional aspects to be considered more explicitly in the strategic analysis of ownership.},

The flaw led to risks in software used by government agencies, Web service providers such as Amazon Web Services and Apple iCloud, and even video games such as Minecraft. The Log4J issue earned a rare rating of 10 on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System, signaling the highest level of risk, and cybersecurity experts warned the effects could be felt for years until every affected program can be secured.

But opportunities also abound there for the authors of malware, since it's a setup they can leverage to spread the seeds of their exploits far and wide.

abstract = {Contributions by individual open source software (OSS) community members are the lifeblood of the OSS projects that power today's digital economy and are important for the very survival of such communities. Individual contributions by OSS community members to others' projects and their own determine whether OSS communities are resilient in the face of major shocks. Arguably, if crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic prompt users to reduce their contributions to others' projects relative to the contributions to their own projects, such behavior can have implications for the overall resilience of the OSS community. Therefore, whether and how individuals change their contributions in the face of a crisis is an important question. We examine whether members in an OSS community increased or decreased their contributions to others' projects relative to their own in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, a sudden and unexpected global health-related shock that has affected almost everyone. We also compare and contrast this behavior when the OSS community faced increasing unemployment, an economic cyclic shock that is arguably and relatively more personal. Drawing on the concept of prosocial behavior and conservation of resources (COR) theory, we hypothesize that the pandemic increased OSS community members' contributions to others' projects relative to their own; on the other hand, the threat of rising unemployment decreased OSS community members' contributions to others' projects relative to their own. Our empirical analyses of a longitudinal dataset of over 18,000 OSS community members on GitHub, with more than 1.4 million member-day observations, support our hypotheses. This study contributes by uncovering the differential effects of exogenous health-related and economic shocks on the resilience of the OSS community. We conclude with a discussion of our findings' implications for OSS community resilience.},

abstract = {A constant influx of newcomers is essential for the sustainability and success of open source software (OSS) projects. However, successful onboarding is always challenging because newcomers face various initial contributing barriers. To support newcomer onboarding, OSS communities widely adopt the mentoring approach. Despite its significance, previous mentoring studies tend to focus on the newcomer's perspective, leaving the mentor's perspective relatively under-studied. To better support mentoring, we study the popular Google Summer of Code (GSoC). It is a well-established global program that offers stipends and mentors to students aiming to bring more student developers into OSS development. We combine online data analysis, an email survey, and semi-structured interviews with the GSoC mentors to understand their motivations, challenges, strategies, and gains. We propose a taxonomy of GSoC mentors’ engagement with four themes, ten categories, 34 sub-categories, and 118 codes, as well as the mentors’ attitudes toward the codes. In particular, we find that mentors participating in GSoC are primarily intrinsically motivated, and some new motivators emerge adapting to the contemporary challenges, e.g., sustainability and advertisement of projects. Forty-one challenges and 52 strategies associated with the program timeline are identified, most of which are first time revealed. Although almost all the challenges are agreed upon by specific mentors, some mentors believe that several challenges are reasonable and even have a positive effect. For example, the cognitive differences between mentors and mentees can stimulate new perspectives. Most of the mentors agreed that they had adopted these strategies during the mentoring process, but a few strategies recommended by the GSoC administration were not agreed upon. Self-satisfaction, different skills, and peer recognition are the main gains of mentors to participate in GSoC. Eventually, we discuss practical implications for mentors, students, OSS communities, GSoC programs, and researchers.},

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the teachers’ motivation to contribute to OSS projects for teaching. A structural equation model (SEM) has been defined under the postulates of the Path-Goal leadership theory and Motivational Behaviour. This model has tried to explain and predict the use of OSS solutions by teachers in an educational context. The findings confirm the positive relationships between transactional and transformational leaderships with extrinsic and intrinsic motivations. Additionally, the findings show the positive relationship between extrinsic and intrinsic motivations and the contributions to the OSS project in teaching. This research suggests several implications for both leaders and members of an OSS project in an educational context. First, the contribution of teachers and instructors to the project is greater when the motivation is fostered by the leader. Second, this study finds that motivating the participants of a project – teachers in this case – is highly recommended, in order to reach a successful adoption of OSS solutions for education.},

abstract = {One opportunity for organizations to participate in open source software (OSS) development is through organizations OSS (orgsOSS), a term we use to describe a group of organizations that commit resources to collectively develop OSS. This archetype of OSS development is distinct from other types that include organizations, yet is understudied. As organizations increasingly contribute to and rely on OSS as part of their strategy, understanding how they can collaborate to build software holds importance for the future of software development. This study collects a unique dataset of development tasks from a large orgsOSS project spanning over two years and seven releases. Building on existing OSS research, we explore norms with respect to collaboration, i.e., how developers assign, discuss, and complete tasks, in an orgsOSS project. Interestingly, our analysis reveals that developers in orgsOSS do not always adhere to ideals of widespread sharing and participation espoused by traditional OSS, however some developer and task characteristics helped foster these ideals. Based on these and other findings, we develop a set of propositions and associated collaboration mechanisms that are important to future orgsOSS and other similarly structured software development projects.},

abstract = {The gender gap is a significant concern facing the software industry as the development becomes more geographically distributed. Widely shared reports indicate that gender differences may be specific to each region. However, how complete can these reports be with little to no research reflective of the Open Source Software (OSS) process and communities software is now commonly developed in? Our study presents a multi-region geographical analysis of gender inclusion on GitHub. This mixed-methods approach includes quantitatively investigating differences in gender inclusion in projects across geographic regions and investigate these trends over time using data from contributions to 21,456 project repositories. We also qualitatively understand the unique experiences of developers contributing to these projects through a survey that is strategically targeted to developers in various regions worldwide. Our findings indicate that gender diversity is low across all parts of the world, with no substantial difference across regions. However, there has been statistically significant improvement in diversity worldwide since 2014, with certain regions such as Africa improving at faster pace. We also find that most motivations and barriers to contributions (e.g., lack of resources to contribute and poor working environment) were shared across regions, however, some insightful differences, such as how to make projects more inclusive, did arise. From these findings, we derive and present implications for tools that can foster inclusion in open source software communities and empower contributions from everyone, everywhere.},

abstract = {OSS projects are being developed by globally distributed contributors, who often collaborate through the pull-based model today. While this model lowers the barrier to entry for OSS developers by synthesizing, automating and optimizing the contribution process, coordination among an increasing number of contributors remains as a challenge due to the asynchronous and self-organized nature of distributed development. In particular, duplicate contributions, where multiple different contributors unintentionally submit duplicate pull requests to achieve the same goal, are an elusive problem that may waste effort in automated testing, code review and software maintenance. While the issue of duplicate pull requests has been highlighted, to what extent duplicate pull requests affect the development in OSS communities has not been well investigated. In this paper, we conduct a mixed-approach study to bridge this gap. Based on a comprehensive dataset constructed from 26 popular GitHub projects, we obtain the following findings: (a) Duplicate pull requests result in redundant human and computing resources, exerting a significant impact on the contribution and evaluation process. (b) Contributors’ inappropriate working patterns and the drawbacks of their collaborating environment might result in duplicate pull requests. (c) Compared to non-duplicate pull requests, duplicate pull requests have significantly different features, e.g., being submitted by inexperienced contributors, being fixing bugs, touching cold files, and solving tracked issues. (d) Integrators choosing between duplicate pull requests prefer to accept those with early submission time, accurate and high-quality implementation, broad coverage, test code, high maturity, deep discussion, and active response. Finally, actionable suggestions and implications are proposed for OSS practitioners.},

One of the areas of study with scarce literature is linked with the impact of the Information and Communication Technologies based on collaborative environments, such as Free and Open Source Software, on the spread of the Collaborative Economy. Some questions are raised, such as: (1) To what extent do organizations linked with Collaborative Economy make use of Free and Open Source Software?, (2) What are the incentives that motivate the implementation of Free and Open Source Software in Collaborative Economy companies?, (3) What use do Collaborative Economy companies give to Free and Open Source Software?, and (4) Is there a greater use of Free and Open Source Software expected for the coming years among these organizations? To answer these questions, a study based on the Delphi method has been designed. To this end, a panel of 15 high-level experts in the field was formed. From the consensus of the experts, a significant role for Free and Open Source Software in the different collaborative components and industries is evident, with the current levels practically being maintained by the year 2025.},

For instance, open source software (OSS) is developed by mass collaboration on digital communities to provide software users free alternatives to commercial products. OSS is particularly valuable to meet the needs of numerous disadvantaged users for whom proprietary software is not affordable. While OSS projects are lack of formal organizational structure, project leaders play a significant role in initiating and managing these projects and eventually, influencing the degree to which the developed software is used and liked by users. Drawing on resource dependence theory, we investigate the impacts of two team‐level characteristics of OSS project leaders (ie, size and tenure) on how well the developed software can address users' needs, with regard to the quantity of software being used by users and the quality of software to users' satisfaction. Further, from a resource dependence perspective, we examine the moderating role of project leaders' network ties in shaping the contingency of these effects. By using a large‐scale dataset from 43 048 OSS development projects in SourceForge community, we find empirical evidence corroborating our theory. Taken together, our findings suggest the boundary‐spanning role of project leaders in developing digital social innovation.},

abstract = {In enterprise software markets, firms are increasingly using services-based business models built on open-source software (OSS) to compete with established, proprietary software firms. Because third-party firms can also strategically contribute to OSS and compete in the services market, the nature of competition between OSS constituents and proprietary software firms can be complex. Moreover, their incentives are likely influenced by the licensing schemes that govern OSS. We study a three-player game and examine how open-source licensing affects competition among an open-source originator, an open-source contributor, and a proprietor competing in an enterprise software market. In this regard, we examine (1) how quality investments and prices are endogenously determined in equilibrium, (2) how license restrictiveness impacts equilibrium investments and the quality of offerings, and (3) how license restrictiveness affects consumer surplus and social welfare. Although some in the open-source community often advocate restrictive licenses such as the GNU General Public License because it is not always in the best interest of the originator for the contributor to invest greater development effort, such licensing can actually be detrimental to both consumer surplus and social welfare when it exacerbates this incentive conflict. We find such an outcome in markets characterized by software providers with similar development capabilities yet cast in favor of the proprietor. In contrast, when these capabilities either become more dispersed or remain similar but tilt in favor of open source, a more restrictive license instead encourages greater effort from the OSS contributor, leads to higher OSS quality, and provides a larger societal benefit.},

What is the nature of these novel arrangements? Does volunteers’ participation remain critical for these ecosystems? Despite extensive research on commercial participation in OSS, the exact nature and extent of company contributions to OSS development, and the impact of this engagement may have on the volunteer community have not been clarified. To bridge the gap, we perform an exploratory study of OpenStack: a large OSS ecosystem with intense commercial participation. We quantify companies’ contributions via the developers that they provide and the commits made by those developers. We find that companies made far more contributions than volunteers and the distribution of the contributions made by different companies is also highly unbalanced. We observe eight unique contribution models based on companies’ commercial objectives and characterize each model according to three dimensions: contribution intensity, extent, and focus. Companies providing full cloud solutions tend to make both intensive (more than other companies) and extensive (involving a wider variety of projects) contributions. Usage-oriented companies make extensive but less intense contributions. Companies driven by particular business needs focus their contributions on the specific projects addressing these needs. Minor contributors include community players (e.g., the Linux Foundation) and research groups. A model relating the number of volunteers to the diversity of contribution shows a strong positive association between them.},

abstract = {The majority of contributions to community open source software (OSS) projects are made by practitioners acting on behalf of companies and other organisations. Previous research has addressed the motivations of both individuals and companies to engage with OSS projects. However, limited research has been undertaken that examines and explains the practical mechanisms or work practices used by companies and their developers to pursue their commercial and technical objectives when engaging with OSS projects. This research investigates the variety of work practices used in public communication channels by company contributors to engage with and contribute to eight community OSS projects. Through interviews with contributors to the eight projects we draw on their experiences and insights to explore the motivations to use particular methods of contribution. We find that companies utilise work practices for contributing to community projects which are congruent with the circumstances and their capabilities that support their short- and long-term needs. We also find that companies contribute to community OSS projects in ways that may not always be apparent from public sources, such as employing core project developers, making donations, and joining project steering committees in order to advance strategic interests. The factors influencing contributor work practices can be complex and are often dynamic arising from considerations such as company and project structure, as well as technical concerns and commercial strategies. The business context in which software created by the OSS project is deployed is also found to influence contributor work practices.},

abstract = {Studies on Open Source Software (OSS) developer communities have long stated that there is a relationship between community structure and tasks carried out by project members. This relationship has been exemplified by the onion model, which has been instrumental in understanding self‐coordination in OSS projects. Despite its ubiquity, there is a lack of empirical evidence to validate the relative position of each task cluster within the onion model. In this study, we map out the community structure of a large open source project and observe its bug‐fixing patterns to explore the relationship between tasks and structure. Our study makes three significant contributions. First, we find no empirical evidence to support the structural location of bug‐fixing tasks in the onion structure. Second, we find empirical evidence to support the core‐periphery continuum model linking an actor’s coreness to problem‐solving ability. Third, our results suggest that the importance and location of each task within the core‐periphery structure evolve over time. These findings add clarity to the community structure and their implications for the management and coordination of collaborative innovation projects.},

abstract = {Corporations increasingly engage with open source software communities in the co‐creation of software. This collaboration between corporate professionals and open source software community members is strikingly different from the early days of software development where for‐profit firms attempted to dominate and control the industry while attempting to throttle the success of independent developers offering an alternative, open source option. While many metaphors like trading zones, common pool resources and ecosystems have helped understand the phenomenon, the metaphors do not portray what the industry was like before and after the transition. We adopt a postcolonial metaphor as an analytical lens to examine such collaboration based on qualitative data gathered over three years from executives, managers and developers within corporations that engage in open source software development. Drawing on these insights, we then theorize a “Third Design Space,” based on the concept of the third space proposed by Bhabha. This metaphor encourages the cultivation of a new design environment, creation of new design associations and circulation of shared design resources. Together these practices and behaviours make it possible to nurture innovative methods and new rituals for designing software with results and methods that represent a distinct departure from the competitive and proprietary past, even creating innovative artefacts that could not have been created without the Third Design Space.},

abstract = {Collaboration through open superposition describes the dominant work orchestration mechanism observed in free (Libre) and open-source (FLOSS) software, wherein the software development occurs by the sequential layering of individual tasks. This work orchestration mechanism is different from the traditional idea of software development, where the focus is toward cowork and concurrent development facilitated by a modular software design architecture. Our study theorizes and examines the motivational mechanisms that operate within superposed work structures to influence the success of FLOSS projects. We also unearth the contextual conditions that may limit the influence of the superposed nature of work on FLOSS project success. Furthermore, given the increasing use of FLOSS by organizations, we investigate the specificities brought to these motivational mechanisms when FLOSS projects are owned by organizations. The results from our analysis of over 6,500 FLOSS projects hosted on GitHub support a nonlinear relationship between the degree of superposition and the success of the FLOSS project. Moreover, we find that the type of ownership moderates this nonlinear relationship such that (1) organizational ownership mitigates the influence of the degree of superposition on the success of the project and that (2) under organizational ownership, the optimal degree of superposition (the point at which the success of the project is at a maximum) is lower than for individual-owned projects. This research advances our understanding of work structures, motivation, and organizational participation in FLOSS environments by describing the influence of task structures on the success of projects. The study also provides FLOSS practitioners with valuable insights for modeling project task structures to facilitate their success.},

abstract = {Open source software (OSS) communities are dependent on the code contributions of developers who, in many cases, never meet face-to-face and collaborate primarily through technology-enabled means. With their fluid membership, such communities often rely on engaging the commitment of developers to their cause. Given the changing nature of OSS communities, developers face barriers in appreciating appropriate ways of contributing to the collaborative effort. Such uncertainty about how to contribute results in OSS communities losing developers as they devote their attention to other, more welcoming, communities. In this research, we draw upon uncertainty reduction theory to argue that developers have two alternative avenues at their disposal to gain certainty about how to contribute: passive and interactive. Leveraging the person–environment fit perspective, we argue that congruence and incongruence in the OSS values of a developer and an OSS community serve as an avenue for passive approaches to gaining certainty, to the degree that appropriate ways of contributing are encoded in these values. Further, leveraging social network theory, we argue that centrality within a community's communication network constitutes an avenue for interactive approaches for gaining certainty about how to contribute. Using polynomial regression analysis, we analyze survey and archival data from 410 developers in an OSS community. Results suggest that developer centrality moderates the impact of congruence and incongruence in OSS values on commitment. Moreover, commitment fully mediates the impact of OSS value congruence and incongruence on developer contribution activity. We discuss the implications of our findings for research and practice.},

The authors draw on a case study of the ‘Heidi bug’ discovered during the development of the Mozilla Firefox web browser to examine how ‘gendered talk’ was (en)‐acted to facilitate ‘bricolage’ in an online work environment. Such gendered talks contain cultural references familiar to male developers. Though seemingly innocuous, such acts could be seen as a performance of gender that simply reflects the hegemonic heterosexual masculine culture manifested in an online virtual work space. The virtual work space therefore can be exclusive to those who shared the cultural references. Although it may not necessarily be ignorance or insensitivity of male developers, a more gender‐balanced, women‐friendly and inclusive workplace certainly would benefit from a more diverse environment. This article highlights the gendered aspect of software development through examining the language use and mainstream ‘bricolage’ practice, and establishes a compelling ground for enlarging the talent pool to include more women and integrating gender ethics (e.g., raising awareness of sensitive language and design approaches) into computer ethics education.},

abstract = {Knowledge is an obtainable, renewable, dynamic, context‐dependent resource that can be shared, and the knowledge sharing cycle has 2 processes: knowledge donation, when a person voluntarily offers his/her intellectual capital to others, and knowledge collection, when a person consults other people's intellectual capital. Knowledge can be shared among individuals, groups, and organizations. A free software community is a type of community of practice arranged around a specific free software, where the knowledge shared is complex and the knowledge sharing processes have scarcely been studied. This investigation aims to identify the profiles of knowledge sharing processes in free software communities and examine how 6 motivations for sharing knowledge in free software communities are associated with each of the clusters. To accomplish this objective, a survey method was adopted, with 260 respondents belonging to free software communities. Cluster analysis was used to interpret the data. Four clusters were identified: Sporadic Sharer; Collector; Donator; and Constant Sharer. With the exception of the Sporadic Sharer, all the clusters presented high values of both collection and donation, including the Donators and Collectors. These results confirm the view of free software communities as communities of practice and highlight the importance of knowledge sharing in free software development cycle. The results reveal the importance of the Constant Sharer profile, which has the highest rates of donation and collection and is also the profile in which all the motivations appear with the highest values, indicating its key role in the functioning of free software communities.},

abstract = {Some authors in the literature have addressed knowledge transfer via weak ties between organization’s units which are themselves strongly tied inside (e.g. Hansen, 1999). Some others have investigated knowledge management among open-source-software (OSS) developers and discussed factors influencing knowledge transfer within development teams (e.g. Joshi and Sarker, 2006). In the domain of open source software (OSS) communities, more companies are now attempting to establish relationships to benefit from these potential value-creating communities; and project managers could in fact target different goals within software development teams including knowledge transfer within and between teams. We step forward to distinguish knowledge transfer within groups as opposed to knowledge transfer between groups; where relevant projects are bundled into separate strongly intra-connected groups. In knowledge management literature there is a trade-off between sparse network structures (Burt, 2000, 2002) versus dense network structures (Walker et al., 1997; Coleman, 1988). It is argued that the former facilitates the diffusion and generation of ideas among groups, while the latter affects the implementation of idea within each dense group. To our best knowledge, there has been no study to investigate the relationship between dense and sparse network structures. We propose that knowledge transfer within dense groups has a positive influence on knowledge transfer between sparse groups, in that intragroup density, group size, developers centrality and betweenness could impact intergroup coupling. To prove our hypothesis, we use a complex network of open source software (OSS) as the domain of interest, where developers represent nodes and two developers contributing to a project task represent a network tie. Developers contributing to tasks in groups other than their own can explore novel ideas via sharing knowledge, whereas developers contributing to tasks inside groups exploit ideas to improve those projects. We investigate the idea both analytically and empirically within 4 months, 8 months and 1 year lagged time, and finally show that intragroup density has a positive whereas developers’ centrality has a negative influence on intergroup coupling.},

abstract = {Following the growing interest and concerns regarding the open source software (OSS) phenomenon among academics and practitioners, many studies have been conducted to understand the factors that influence OSS success. However, research has primarily explored such factors in the context of well-known projects, such as Linux and Apache. Yet, lesser-known projects must be examined to gain a more complete understanding. Accordingly, this paper focuses on lesser-known projects to examine three factors that influence OSS popularity: user-developer interaction, market potential and development stage. Specifically, we develop an empirical model of OSS popularity and test our hypotheses on data from 657 open source projects. The findings show that the combination of the three factors has a positive effect on OSS popularity. Moreover, in contrast to previous research, the results reveal that exchanges among users and developers have a stronger influence on OSS popularity than bug-related activities. Overall, this research provides a novel way to measure OSS popularity for lesser-known projects and offers organizations a better understanding of OSS.Alternate abstract:Alors que le logiciel libre a particulierement retenu l'attention et Pintérét du monde académique et managérial, beaucoup de recherches ont cherché á comprendre les facteurs de succes de ces logiciels OSS. Cependant, ces recherches se sontprincipalement concentrées sur des projets reconnus et de grande envergure, tels que Linux ou Apache. Une investigation des projets moins connus permettrait une compréhension plus complete et d'éviter un taux d'échec important des projets OSS. Cette étude investigue donc la combi- naison de trois facteurs : les interactions des utilisateurs et développeurs, la pénétration du marché et le stade de développement, afin d'observer leur impact sur la popularité des projets OSSpeu connus. Nous a vons pour cela développé un modele empirique de la popularité des OSS, et avons testé nos hypotheses sur 657projets de logiciel libre. Les résultats de cette recherche montrent que la combinaison des trois facteurs a un impact positif sur la popularité des OSS. De plus, contrairement aux études précédentes, nos résultats révelent également que les interactions entre utilisateurs et développeurs ont un rôle plus important que les activités reliées á la résolution de bugs dans la réussite des projets. Cette recherche propose une nouvelle maniere de mesurer la popularité d'un projet OSS et offrant ainsi aux organisations une meilleure compréhension.},

abstract = {Research summary: Building on the problem‐solving perspective, we study behaviors related to projects and the communication‐based antecedents of such behaviors in the free open‐source software (FOSS) community. We examine two kinds of problem/project‐behaviors: Individuals can set up projects around the formulation of new problems or join existing projects and define and/or work on subproblems within an existing problem. The choice between these two behaviors is influenced by the mode of communication. A communication mode with little a priori structure is the best mode for communicating about new problems (i.e., formulating a problem); empirically, it is associated with project launching behaviors. In contrast, more structured communication fits subproblems better and is related to project joining behaviors. Our hypotheses derive support from data from the FOSS community.Managerial summary: We study how the way in which individuals communicate influence the project‐behaviors they engage in. We find that relatively unstructured communication is associated with the setting up new projects, while communication that is structured around an artifact is associated with joining projects. Our findings hold implications for understanding how management may influence project behaviors and problem‐solving: Firms that need to concentrate on more incremental problem‐solving efforts (e.g., because a sufficient number of attractive problems have already been defined) should create environments in which interaction is undertaken mainly via artifacts. On the other hand, if firms seek to generate new problems (e.g., new strategic opportunities), they should create environments in which open‐ended, verbal conversation is relatively more important than artifact‐based communication.

The study proposes a theoretical framework, under the prism of which socio-economic, technological and institutional factors critical to eGovernment and OSS are revealed. The hypotheses are evaluated by means of an econometric model of simultaneous equations. In order to better gauge the results of the hypotheses, the model is evaluated over economic environments at different stages of development. Social development and OSS growth were found to be the most important facilitators for eGovernment maturity, across countries of all stages of development. Institutional quality, technological openness, freedom in press and the macro-economic environment exerted different weights of importance across different country groupings. Findings also suggest that technological infrastructure and innovation are important drivers for OSS growth across countries at all stages of development. Research results can provide useful input for research in eGov, as they open up new directions in the study of the relation with OSS.},

abstract = {Open source software (OSS) development is an increasingly important paradigm of software development. However, key aspects of OSS such as the determinants of project success and motivations of developers in joining these projects are not well understood. Based on organizational theory, we propose that OSS activities of patch development and feature request can be classified as exploitation (implementation-oriented) and exploration (innovation-oriented) activities, respectively. We empirically examine how the structure of social network affects the success of patch-development and feature-request networks in OSS projects, using a data set collected from the SourceForge database. Our results provide empirical support for the view that patch development and feature request are exploitation and exploration activities, respectively. Network structures differ due to team formation differences and have a differential impact on development success based on the type of activity. The concepts of ambidextrous developers and ambidexterity are explored in the context of OSS projects. Collectively, our results indicate that studying OSS projects at the artifact level could improve our understanding of OSS project success and team formation. This, in turn, could lead to better management of OSS projects.},

abstract = {One of the puzzling aspects of open-source software (OSS) development is its public good nature. Individual developers contribute to developing the software, but do not hold the copyright to appropriate its value. This raises questions regarding motives behind such effort. We provide an integrated model of developers' incentives to describe OSS development and compare restrictive OSS licenses that force all modifications to be kept open with non-restrictive OSS licenses that allow proprietary ownership of modified works. Different incentives govern effort provision at different stages of the software development process. We show that open-source licenses can provide socially valuable software when a proprietary license fails to do so. We also show that restrictive OSS licenses generate greater effort provision in the design stage of software development relative to non-restrictive licenses. Endogenizing licensing choice, we find that a project leader chooses a non-restrictive OSS license if reputational concerns drive developers' incentives, a proprietary license when there is a large population of users in the market and a restrictive OSS license if user population is small but reputational benefit is high. Our results resonate well with empirical findings and suggest additional testable implications about the relationship between licensing and software project characteristics. Finally, we also find that the market under-provides restrictive OSS licenses relative to the efficient level, suggesting the need for subsidizing restrictive licenses in some cases.},

abstract = {Open source software (OSS) has attracted extensive attention from researchers and scholars. This increasing attention is a result of the remarkable growth in the number of OSS applications in recent years. Despite an increased number of studies on OSS project success, the interrelationships among different success indicators of OSS projects are not well understood in literature. The present study reports on the interrelationships between the success measures of OSS projects, as defined by the ability of the project to attract user and developer interest, release management, project activity, and development sustainability. To test the relationships hypothesized, we gathered data from 1,409 OSS projects over time (in two snapshots over a period of eight months). The results show the following: (a) project activity until any time period positively impacts the subsequent period's developer interest and development sustainability; (b) development sustainability positively drives user and developer interest; (c) release frequency positively influences the next period's developer interest, as well as development sustainability; (d) developer interest positively drives user interest. These findings have implications for both the OSS research community and OSS practitioners.},

ITS data of Mozilla and Gnome, literature, interviews, and online documents were used to design measures of involvement and environment. A logistic regression model was used to explain and predict contributor's odds of becoming an LTC. They also reproduced the results on new data provided by Mozilla. The authors constructed nine measures of involvement and environment based on events recorded in an ITS. Macro-climate is the overall project environment while micro-climate is person-specific and varies among the participants. The findings suggest the importance of initial behaviors and experiences of new participants and outline empirically-based approaches to help the communities with the recruitment of contributors for long-term participation and to help the participants contribute more effectively.},

abstract = {The livelihood of an open source ecosystem is important to different ecosystem participants: software developers, end-users, investors, and participants want to know whether their ecosystem is healthy and performing well. Currently, there exists no working operationalization available that can be used to determine the health of open source ecosystems. Health is typically looked at from a project scope, not from an ecosystem scope. With such an operationalization, stakeholders can make better decisions on whether to invest in an ecosystem: developers can select the healthiest ecosystem to join, keystone organizers can establish which governance techniques are effective, and end-users can select ecosystems that are robust, will live long, and prosper. Design research is used to create the health operationalization. The evaluation step is done using four ecosystem health projects from literature. The Open Source Ecosystem Health Operationalization is provided, which establishes the health of a complete software ecosystem, using the data from collections of open source projects that belong to the ecosystem. The groundwork is done, by providing a summary of research challenges, for more research in ecosystem health. With the operationalization in hand, researchers no longer need to start from scratch when researching open source ecosystems' health.},

abstract = {Our research aims at understanding the various forms of participation in Open Source Software (OSS) design, seen as distributed design in online spaces of actions-discussion, implementation, and boundary between these spaces. We propose a methodology -- based on situated analyses of a formal design process used in the Python project -- to identify the distribution of actual roles (implementation, interactive, group, and design oriented) performed by participants into and between the spaces (defining boundary spaces). This notion of roles is grounded in collaborative design activities performed online by participants. This way, our findings complete the core-periphery model of participation in OSS. Concerning the distribution of roles between spaces, we reveal a map of participation in OSS: The majority of participants are pure discussants, but all participants in the implementation spaces do also act in the discussion space, and few participants act at boundary spaces. Concerning the distribution of roles between participants in the discussion space, we reveal that interactions are structured by a central hub (occupied by key participants) and that, whereas design-oriented roles are spread among all participants, group-oriented roles are performed by one or two participants in the respective spaces and at their boundary. Finally, combination of roles reveals five individual profiles performed by participants. Our approach could be extended to other design situations to explore relationships between forms of participation -- in particular, those revealing use-oriented contributions -- performance, and quality of the design product. Finally, it could be a basis for specifying tools to monitor and manage community activity for both research issues and support of online community. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {The open source software (OSS) movement thrives on innovation and volunteer effort of developers. Scholars have expressed widespread concern about the sustainability of the OSS movement due to high levels of volunteerism. In this paper, we address a central challenge to the sustainability of OSS-developers' acceptance of monetary rewards. We strive to explain why some OSS developers accept monetary rewards and others do not. Viewed through the theoretical lens of the private-collective innovation model (0395 and 0400), this allows us to describe when developers will accept private financial rewards. Our main research objective is to clearly map the web of relationships between causal antecedents, and developers' acceptance behavior. Using a unique dataset that combines survey and behavioral measures, we find that -- (a) intention to accept monetary rewards mediates the impact of motivational elements on developers' acceptance of monetary rewards; (b) intrinsic and extrinsic motivations positively affect their intention to accept monetary rewards, community motivation negatively impacts intention and ideological motivation does not affect the intention to accept rewards and (c) these effects are obtained even after inclusion of several control variables. The theoretical and managerial implications of our work are described. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Sequences of relational events underlie much empirical research on organizational relations. Yet relational event data are typically aggregated and dichotomized to derive networks that can be analyzed with specialized statistical methods. Transforming sequences of relational events into binary network ties entails two main limitations: the loss of information about the order and number of events that compose each tie and the inability to account for compositional changes in the set of actors and/or recipients. In this article, we introduce a newly developed class of statistical models that enables researchers to exploit the full information contained in sequences of relational events. We propose an extension of the models to cater for sequences of relational events linking different sets of actors. We illustrate the empirical application of relational event models in the context of a free/open source software project with the aim to explain the level of effort produced by contributors to the project. We offer guidance in the interpretation of model parameters by characterizing the social processes underlying organizational problem solving. We discuss the applicability of relational events models in organizational research.},

While prior research has explored the communal nature of open source software development among individual users, little research has explored whether these sharing concepts are also present in organizational use of open source software products. This study uses a theory integration approach to develop some initial insight into the differences between users and non-users of open source software. This study observed three groups of factors from six case studies of information sharing in the context of organizational open source software use. These factors were integrated with prior research in order to understand the physical and managerial barriers to, and enablers of, open source. The study proposes that open source users have more extensive knowledge sharing and teamwork practices in place, and are more tolerant of risk. The study also argues that open source users depended less on external technology support services but have more extensive information technology (IT) support structures. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {A comprehensive set of governance mechanisms and dimensions were investigated to identify combinations of mechanisms that are effectively used together in on-going volunteer-based open source software (OSS) projects. Three configurations were identified: Defined Community, Open Community, and Authoritarian Community. Notably, Defined Community governance had the strongest coordination and project climate and had the most extensive use of outcome, behavior, and clan control mechanisms (controller driven). The controls in the Defined Community governance configuration appear to effectively enable open, coordinated contribution and participation from a wide variety of talented developers (one of the virtues of open source development) while managing the development process and outcomes. The results add to our theoretical understanding of control in different types of information systems projects, as the combination of control modes found in OSS projects is different from those found in previous research for internal or outsourced information systems development projects. This could be due to unique features of OSS projects, such as volunteer participation and the controller being part of the development team. The results provide guidance for practitioners about how to combine 19 identified governance mechanisms into effective project governance that stimulates productive participation.

abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) is an important asset in today's software-intensive society. The success of OSS projects is highly dependent on a number of factors. These factors must be understood and managed as an OSS project progresses. Thus, project management of an OSS project has a decisive role in ensuring the success of its software. The objective of the research is to increase the understanding of the resources affecting the competitiveness of OSS projects. Herewith, the responsiveness of OSS projects to users' needs is assessed via an investigation of the defect-fixing process. A Resource-Based View of the firm (RBV) is used to build theoretical justifications for a set of hypotheses proposed in this study. Data gathered from 427 OSS projects confirmed that developers' interest in and users' contribution to the project as well as frequently updating and releasing the software affect the project's ability to gain competitive advantage through effective defect-fixing. It is also shown that OSS projects that are more popular and have a higher level of organizational communication than others are more likely to gain competitive advantage through effective defect-fixing. Finally, implications of the results for practitioners and the research community are presented. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {We analyze investment incentives for a firm A owning a software platform and an application and a firm B deciding whether to develop a new application for the platform. While B's entry helps the success of the platform, B fears ex post expropriation by A and is hence reluctant to enter and invest. We show that different platform governance structures prevalent in the Information and Communication Technology industry (integrated, proprietary, standardized, open source platform) serve to balance investment incentives for the platform and for the applications.

abstract = {Licensing is the defining characteristic of open source software (OSS) and often has tremendous impact on the success of OSS projects. However, OSS licenses are very different from those for proprietary software, and our understanding of the choice of OSS licenses is very limited. In this study, we explore this important decision from a learning perspective. We build collaboration networks and trace paths through which potential learning and knowledge flow across projects using a dataset derived from SourceForge. We identify that both experiential learning and vicarious learning have significant influence on OSS license choice. We provide reasons why experiential learning and vicarious learning affect decision-making regarding OSS license choice, and explore important contingencies under which the two modes of learning are more effective. We find that leadership roles on prior projects and similarities between projects significantly moderate these two modes of learning, respectively. More importantly, we argue and empirically illustrate that experiential learning is more effective than vicarious learning in influencing OSS license choice. Our research sheds new light on our understanding of license choice for OSS projects and provides practical guidelines for future OSS development. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {In this study, we seek to understand socio-technical interactions in a system development context via an examination of the joint effect of developer team structure and open source software (OSS) architecture on OSS development performance. Using detailed data collected from code repositories from SoureForge.com, we find that developer team structure and software architecture significantly moderate each other's effect on OSS development performance. Larger teams tend to produce more favorable project performance when the project being developed has a high level of structural interdependency while projects with a low level of structural interdependency require smaller teams in order to achieve better project performance. Meanwhile, centralized teams tend to have a positive impact on project performance when the OSS project has a high level of structural interdependency. However, when a project has a low level of structural interdependency, centralized teams can impair project performance. This study extends our understanding of information technology's deep engagement in organizational life and provides directions for open source practitioners to better organize their projects to achieve greater performance.

abstract = {Almost a decade ago, researchers in information systems and analysts of the information technology (IT) industry were predicting a bright future for open source software (OSS). Recent examples appear to lend support to this, but there exist many detractors of OSS and resistance to the transformation it creates. Thus, it is relevant to take a closer look at the institutionalization of OSS. This paper evaluates the extent of OSS institutionalization in organizations. A practice or innovation is said to be institutionalized when it is taken-for-granted and its use becomes the norm. Drawing on institutional theory, the underlying concept of organizing vision and the rhetorical theory of diffusion of innovations, the authors analyze OSS institutionalization through the observation of the evolution of the public discourse about OSS and, simultaneously, the observation of the rate of adoption or diffusion of OSS in organizations.},

However, few studies have focused on the start-ups that enter the market just to exploit the new business opportunities stemming from the freely available technological knowledge developed by the FLOSS community (FLOSS-based start-ups). This paper aims to fill this gap by providing descriptive evidence about these firms. We address two main research questions: 1) What are the main features of FLOSS-based start-ups?; 2) What is their innovation process? We show that FLOSS-based start-ups follow a typical open innovation model that enables them to serve market niches that large incumbents are not structurally able to cover, profiting from the local production, distribution, and use of technological knowledge.

Developing these resources can be expensive and time consuming. Even when data and tools are intended for public re-use they often come with technical, legal, economic and social barriers that make them difficult to adopt, adapt and combine for use in new contexts. We focus on the promise of open, publically accessible software and data as well as crowdsourcing techniques to develop robust energy analysis tools that can deliver crucial, policy-relevant insight, particularly in developing countries, where planning resources are highly constrained -- and the need to adapt these resources and methods to the local context is high. We survey existing research, which argues that these techniques can produce high-quality results, and also explore the potential role that linked, open data can play in both supporting the modelling process and in enhancing public engagement with energy issues.

abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) is generally developed by interested professionals who have decided to participate in the process. The presence of effective leaders who both steer the development and motivate the developers is crucial to ensure a successful product. Using path-goal theory and built on leadership and motivation theories, we proposed and tested a model that can be used to assess the relationship between an OSS project leader's leadership style and a developer's motivation to contribute to the software development. We specifically decomposed the leadership and motivation construct to understand the hidden mechanisms by which leadership impacts motivation. A set of survey data collected from 118 OSS developers on Sourceforge.net was used to test our hypotheses. Our results indicate that leaders' transformational leadership is positively related to developers' intrinsic motivation and that leaders' active management style is positively related to the developers' extrinsic motivation.

abstract = {Two-mode networks are used to describe dual patterns of association between distinct social entities through their joint involvement in categories, activities, issues, and events. In empirical organizational research, the analysis of two-mode networks is typically accomplished either by (a) decomposition of the dual structure into its two unimodal components defined in terms of indirect relations between entities of the same kind or (b) direct statistical analysis of individual two-mode dyads. Both strategies are useful, but neither is fully satisfactory. In this article, the authors introduce newly developed stochastic actor-based models for two-mode networks that may be adopted to redress the limitations of current analytical strategies. The authors specify and estimate the model in the context of data they have collected on the dual association between software developers and software problems observed during a complete release cycle of an open source software project. The authors discuss the general methodological implications of the models for organizational research based on the empirical analysis of two-mode networks. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) has become an important alternative method of organizing the production of software and has gained in popularity and use because of its benefits and costs relative to the dominant proprietary software model. In this paper, I use evidence from the United States and Canada to examine the distribution of these benefits and costs. I argue that although the rhetoric surrounding OSS is supported empirically, the benefits of OSS have been limited because of the way this technological project has evolved within its associated policy environment. That is, although ostensibly neutral, the policies and laws of both the U.S. and Canadian governments have tended to be positioned implicitly against the use of OSS both in the public sector and in the economy generally. In addition, OSS use and development requires a set of skills that are absent in many instances or create prohibitively high costs. Thus OSS is typically used by larger organizations, and its development is restricted to a mostly male, highly educated, high-income group of contributors. Therefore while the benefits of OSS are real, the distribution of these benefits is skewed. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

This paper aims to examine the strategic factors and future trends that are likely to affect the development and deployment of FLOSS in Turkey. Based on the internal and external factors identified through the practice of technological foresight, a SWOT analysis will be carried out to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for Turkey in creating a competitive software industry that can benefit from the advantages of FLOSS. Accordingly, with regard to the required technical infrastructure, an innovative/competitive business climate, skilled human resources and support for institutional structures, policy suggestions are outlined here that could be usefully implemented by government, industry and universities.

The objective of this study was to shed light on challenges related to building products with components that have been developed within an Inner Source development environment. Following an initial systematic literature review to generate seed category data constructs, the authors performed an in-depth exploratory case study in an organization that has a significant track record in the implementation of Inner Source. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with participants from a range of divisions across the organization.

Since there is a need to understand conducted research, the aim of this study is to summarize the findings of research that has been carried out on usage of open source components and development methodologies by the industry, as well as companies' participation in the open source community. Systematic review through searches in library databases and manual identification of articles from the open source conference. The search was first carried out in May 2009 and then once again in May 2010. In 2009, 237 articles were first found, from which 19 were selected based on content and quality, and in 2010, 76 new articles were found from which four were selected. Twenty three articles were identified in total. The articles could be divided into four categories: open source as part of component based software engineering, business models with open source in commercial organization, company participation in open source development communities, and usage of open source processes within a company.},

abstract = {Drawing on social capital theory, we develop a theoretical model aiming to explore how open source software (OSS) project effectiveness (in terms of team size, team effort and team's level of completion) is affected by expertise integration. This in turn is influenced by three types of social capital - relational capital, cognitive capital and structural capital. In addition, this study also examines two moderating effects - the impact of technical complexity on the relationship between cognitive capital and expertise integration, and of task interdependence on the relationship between expertise integration and task completion. Through a field survey of 160 OSS members from five Taiwanese communities, there is support for some of the proposed hypotheses. Both reciprocity and centrality affect expertise integration as expected, but the influence of commitment and cognitive capital (including expertise and tenure) on expertise integration is not significant. Finally, expertise integration affects both team size and team effort, which in turn jointly influence task completion. This research contributes to advancing theoretical understanding of the effectiveness of free OSS development as well as providing OSS practitioners with insight into how to leverage social capital for improving the performance of OSS development.},

abstract = {The success of open source software (OSS) projects depends heavily on the voluntary participation of a large number of developers. To remain sustainable, it is vital for an OSS project community to maintain a critical mass of core developers. Yet, only a small number of participants (identified here as ''joiners'') can successfully socialize themselves into the core developer group. Despite the importance of joiners' socialization behavior, quantitative longitudinal research in this area is lacking. This exploratory study examines joiners' temporal socialization trajectories and their impacts on joiners' status progression. Guided by social resource theory and using the growth mixture modeling (GMM) approach to study 133 joiners in 40 OSS projects, the authors found that these joiners differed in both their initial levels and their growth trajectories of socialization and identified four distinct classes of joiner socialization behavior. They also found that these distinct latent classes of joiners varied in their status progression within their communities. The implications for research and practice are correspondingly discussed.

abstract = {Open source software (oss), the origins of which can be traced back to the 1950s, is software distributed with a license that allows access to its source code, free redistribution, the creation of derived works, and unrestricted use. oss applications cover most areas of consumer and business software and their study touches many disciplines, including computer science, information systems, economics, psychology, and law. Behind a successful oss project lies a community of actors, ranging from core developers to passive users, held together by a flexible governance structure and membership, leadership and contribution policies that align their interests. The motivation behind individuals participating in oss projects can be, among others, social, ideological, hedonistic, or signaling, while companies gain from their access to high-quality, innovative projects and an increase in their reputation and visibility. Nowadays many business models rely on oss as a product through the provision of associated services, or in coexistence with proprietary software, hardware, services, or licensing. The numerous oss licenses mainly differ on how they treat derived software: some contain provisions that maintain its availability in open source form while others allow more flexibility. Through its widespread adoption, oss is affecting the software industry, science, engineering, research, teaching, the developing countries, and the society at large through its ability to democratize technology and innovation.},

abstract = {Over the past few years, open source software (OSS) development has gained a huge popularity and has attracted a large variety of developers. According to software engineering folklore, the architecture and the organization of software depend on the communication patterns of the contributors. Communication patterns among developers influence knowledge sharing among them. Unlike in a formal organization, the communication network structures in an OSS project evolve unrestricted and unplanned. We develop a non-cooperative game-theoretic model to investigate the network formation in an OSS team and to characterize the stable and efficient structures. Developer heterogeneity in the network is incorporated based on their informative value. We find that there may exist several stable structures that are inefficient and there may not always exist a stable structure that is efficient. The tension between the stability and efficiency of structures results from developers acting in their self-interest rather than the group interest. Whenever there is such tension, the stable structure is either underconnected across types or overconnected within type of developers from an efficiency perspective. We further discuss how an administrator can help evolve a stable network into an efficient one. Empirically, we use the latent class model and analyze two real-world OSS projects hosted at SourceForge. For each project, different types of developers and a stable structure are identified, which fits well with the predictions of our model. Overall, our study sheds light on how developer abilities and incentives affect communication network formation in OSS projects. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Open source software (OSS) has come of age, and a number of maturing business models allow OSS companies to make a profit even when their product is distributed for free. This article considers the dynamics of value creation fuelling the proliferation of OSS and examines the business model factors that enable value capture. After interviewing leaders from over 20 OSS firms and organisations through early 2006, we found that three factors were consistently important in defining a vendor's adoption of a given business model: software licence choice, which takes into account intellectual property ownership; management of developer communities; and the unique features of the markets and product categories in which the vendor participates. Considering these factors, we characterise seven business models. One striking finding is that it is rare to find business-model purity. The majority of firms in our sample are pursuing either blended business models or multiple models simultaneously. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

We adopt Husted and Michailova's model on dual allegiance and knowledge sharing in inter-firm R\&D collaborations to the context of open source software firms. We argue that the type of allegiance the individual holds towards their employing firm and the open source community has a strong influence of how they share knowledge with other community members. We use the examples of two open source software firms in New Zealand to ground the empirical inspiration of our paper and to illustrate our key ideas and arguments. We discuss the knowledge governance challenges imposed by employees' dual allegiance and how managers of open source software firms can balance the demands of the open source community and the interests of the clients.

abstract = {The success of a Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) project has been evaluated in the past through the number of commits made to its configuration management system, number of developers and number of users. Most studies, based on a popular FLOSS repository (SourceForge), have concluded that the vast majority of projects are failures. This study's empirical results confirm and expand conclusions from an earlier and more limited work. Not only do projects from different repositories display different process and product characteristics, but a more general pattern can be observed. Projects may be considered as early inceptors in highly visible repositories, or as established projects within desktop-wide projects, or finally as structured parts of FLOSS distributions. These three possibilities are formalized into a framework of transitions between repositories. The framework developed here provides a wider context in which results from FLOSS repository mining can be more effectively presented. Researchers can draw different conclusions based on the overall characteristics studied about an Open Source software project's potential for success, depending on the repository that they mine. These results also provide guidance to OSS developers when choosing where to host their project and how to distribute it to maximize its evolutionary success. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Prior research into open source software (OSS) developer participation has emphasized individuals' motivations for joining these volunteer communities, but it has failed to explain why people stay or leave in the long run. Building upon Lave and Wenger's theory of legitimate peripheral participation (LPP), this paper offers a longitudinal investigation of one OSS community in which sustained participation is hypothesized to be associated with the coevolution of two major elements of LPP theory: "situated learning" (the process of acting knowledgeably and purposefully in the world) and "identity construction" (the process of being identified within the community). To test this hypothesis, data were collected from multiple sources, including online public project documents, electronic mail messages, tracker messages, and log files. Results from qualitative analyses revealed that initial conditions to participate did not effectively predict long-term participation, but that situated learning and identity construction behaviors were positively linked to sustained participation. Furthermore, this study reveals that sustained participants distinguished themselves by consistently engaging in situated learning that both made conceptual (advising others) and practical contributions (improving the code). Implications and future research are discussed. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

While platforms can obtain these incentives through multiple means, in this paper we focus on one form of financial incentives - voluntary monetary donations by open source community members. We report findings from two empirical studies that examine factors that impact donations. Study 1 investigates the factors that cause some community members to donate and not others. We find that the decision to donate is impacted by relational commitment with open source software platform, donation to projects and accepting donations from others. Study 2 examines what drives the level of donation. We find that the length of association with the platform and relational commitment affects donation levels. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {This paper contributes to the open source software (OSS) literature by investigating the likelihood that a participant becomes a project leader. Project leaders are key actors in a virtual community and are crucial to the success of the OSS model. Knowledge of the forces that lead to the emergence of project managers among the multitude of participants is still limited. We aim to fill this gap in the literature by analyzing the association between the roles played by an individual who is registered with a project, and a set of individual-level and project-level characteristics. In line with the theory of occupational choice elaborated by (Lazear, E.P., 2002. Entrepreneurship. NBER Working Paper No. 9109, Cambridge, Mass; Lazear, E.P., 2004. Balanced skills and entrepreneurship, American Economic Review 94, pp. 208-211), we find that OSS project leaders possess diversified skill sets which are needed to select the inputs provided by various participants, motivate contributors, and coordinate their efforts. Specialists, like pure developers, are endowed with more focused skill sets. Moreover, we find that the degree of modularity of the development process is positively associated with the presence of project leaders. That result is consistent with the modern theory of modular production (Baldwin, C.Y., Clark, K.B., 1997. Managing in an age of modularity.

Specifically, we investigate whether the division of labor within open-source projects is influenced by characteristics of software code. We suggest that the collaboration among maintainers tends to be influenced by different measures of code complexity. We interpret these findings by providing preliminary evidence that the organization of open-source software development would self-adapt to characteristics of the code base, in a 'stigmergic' manner.

abstract = {A systems analysis perspective is adopted to examine the critical properties of the Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) mode of innovation, as reflected on the SourceForge platform (SF.net). This approach re-scales March's (1991) framework and applies it to characterize the "innovation system" of a "distributed organization" of interacting agents in a virtual collaboration environment, rather than to innovation within a firm. March (1991) views the process of innovation at the organizational level as the coupling of sub-processes of exploration and exploitation. Correspondingly, the innovation system of the virtual collaboration environment represented by SF.net is an emergent property of two "coupled" processes: one involves the interactions among agents searching the locale for information and knowledge resources to use in designing novel software products (i.e., exploration), and the other involves the mobilization of individuals' capabilities for application in the software development projects that become established on the platform (i.e., exploitation). The micro-dynamics of this system are studied empirically by constructing transition probability matrices representing the movements of 222,835 SF.net users among seven different activity states, which range from "lurking" (not contributing or contributing to projects without becoming a member) to "laboring" (joining one or more projects as members), and to "launching" (founding one or more projects) within each successive 6-month interval. The estimated probabilities are found to form first-order Markov chains describing ergodic processes. This makes it possible the computation of the equilibrium distribution of agents among the states, thereby suppressing transient effects and revealing persisting patterns of project joining and project launching. The latter show the FLOSS innovation process on SF.net to be highly dissipative: a very large proportion of the registered "developers" fail to become even minimally active on the platform. There is nevertheless an active core of mobile project joiners, and a (still smaller) core of project founders who persist in creating new projects. The structure of these groups' interactions (as displayed within the 3-year period examined) is investigated in detail, and it is shown that it would be sufficient to sustain both the exploration and exploitation phases of the platform's global dynamics.

abstract = {Commercial software companies face many challenges when competing in today's fast moving and competitive industry environment. Recently, the use of open source software (OSS) has been proposed as a possible way to address those challenges. OSS provides many benefits, including high-quality software and substantial profits. Nevertheless, OSS has not been effectively utilized in real business. The purpose of this paper is to find what affects the utilization of OSS. For this study, we propose a structural equation model (SEM) to analyze the relationships between the quality factors based on ISO/IEC 9126 and OSS utilization. In addition, we suggest an open source software utilization index (OSSUI) based on the proposed SEM. The results provide us with the controllable feedback information to improve user (programmer) satisfaction during OSS utilization. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

As contrasted with the traditional software marketing model, OSS pursues the freedom to have access to open source and offers several advantages to enterprises. These advantages include saving costs related to Information Systems and Technologies (IS/IT) and the possibility of adapting to changing organizational requirements. However, the recent forthcoming of OSS prevents us from knowing the real impact it has today on social and organizational fields. Having considered this obstacle, the authors have defined a foreseeable setting for OSS diffusion and adoption by means of a forecasting study based on the Delphi method for the year 2010. The findings reveal the levels of OSS diffusion for this year according to the main applications, geographic regions and industries. In a complementary manner, the authors have studied the elements of success as well as the most relevant obstacles for diffusing and adopting technological solutions based on OSS.

In particular, an empirical study of the evolution of Linux from version 2.4.0 to version 2.6.13 is reported. The study shows how open-source software systems self-organize to adapt to functional requirements and quality requirements. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

In this paper we explore the process of OSS innovation and highlight the impact of increased competition and different cost structures on innovative activity in the industry, which has been neglected in the literature thus far. In a simple model, we formalize the innovation impact of OSS entry by examining a change in market structure from monopoly to duopoly under the assumption that software producers compete in technology rather than price or quantities. The model takes into account development costs and total cost of ownership, whereby the latter captures items such as network externalities. The paper identifies a pro-innovative effect of both intra-OSS and extra-OSS competition. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {A growing body of literature has explored the motivations for individuals to take part in free and open source software (FOSS), yet how firms participate is largely an unattended research area. Building on information from an extensive dataset of secondary sources and 30 in-depth interviews, I show that de novo entrants have emerged in conjunction with a changing institutional infrastructure and a more pragmatic attitude toward firms that focus on technological benefits rather than ideology. To understand how these firms try to harness the work of these communities, I use the empirical data to derive a 2*2 matrix of different approaches. The X axis reflects whether or not the firms initiated a new community or relied on communities founded by peers, whereas the Y axis represents the degree of participation of the firm in the community. This taxonomy illustrates how de novo entrants are initiating new forms of communities or joining communities established by peers. This suggests that while many of the central pillars of FOSS remains, de novo entrants have emerged to find new ways of making business resulting in various implications for firm strategies and knowledge disclosure.

When these activities are important, the open source organizational form may do better than a proprietary organizational form. My results suggest why open source is particularly powerful when maintainability of software is critical, and also suggest that the founder of a software project may be more likely to choose open source if there is an existing dominant proprietary software project.

abstract = {Given that eGovernment is likely to become part of development strategies, the most desirable form of eGovernment is that which promotes the domestic generation of intellectual property or, at least, contributes least to the international intellectual property (IP) imbalance. One way to achieve these ends is to implement eGovernment using free or open source software (FOSS). This will reduce dependence on software owned by major companies in developed countries. It could also promote an IP generating capacity in developing countries. An examination of the status of free or open source software in developing countries in Southeast Asia reveals that governments in these countries are aware of FOSS and wish to foster its use (but face considerable pressure to use proprietary software). This examination also reveals the presence of small but active groups seeking to develop and promote the use of free or open source software. This article is comprised of a discussion of FOSS (including that suitable for eGovernment), an explanation of the importance of FOSS for developing countries, a justification of governments centrality to the introduction of FOSS and a consideration of policies and initiatives undertaken by governments in developing countries in Southeast Asia.

abstract = {This article considers the implications that the use of free and open-source software in government might have for democracy and public participation. From a constructionist perspective, the democratic effects of non-proprietary software are contingent on how the practice of free and open-source software is discursively represented and constituted as it is translated into new e-government systems. On these premises, an analysis of official discourse and government policy for non-proprietary software suggests that its introduction into government will bring more politics as usual rather than democratisation. Nevertheless, on the basis of an alternative discourse of ethics and freedom evident in the Free Software and Open Source communities, the authors of this paper envisage circumstances in which the discourse and practice of non-proprietary software contribute to opening-up and democratising e-government, by protecting and extending transparency and accountability in e-governments and by offering scope for technology to be shaped by citizens and associations as well as by administrators and private interests.

abstract = {Societies often create smaller subsets or communities that connect with one another for commerce and intellectual exchange over mutual interests. In science and engineering, the need for communication among researchers is often hampered by artificial barriers of university politics, economic market forces, and the sheer momentum of an academic reward structure that values individual discovery over joint development. Recent initiatives have attempted to reduce some of these barriers, encouraging collaborative multidisciplinary research programs. Through this effort, the processes have been studied that lead to the successful foundation of new communities. The current focus has led to the creation of Insight, a project for open source image processing software development, along with the Insight Software Consortium, which includes more than 17 participating universities and commercial institutions. The initial emphasis of this effort is to provide public software tools for 3D segmentation and deformable and rigid registration, capable of analyzing the head and neck anatomy of the Visible Human Project data. The eventual goal is to provide the cornerstone of a self-sustaining software community in 3D, 4D, and higher dimensional data analysis. Ultimately, this is intended to be a public software resource that will serve as a foundation for future medical image research.},

Previous studies primarily touched on user activities in a few well-known open source projects but lack the empirical data to represent important issues facing the open source development community. This paper reports on a survey-based study that investigated user collaboration in open source development. Among the many interesting results, we found open source users themselves to be very experienced software developers. They are highly motivated to make their own contributions, work closely with developers on various tasks, and use electronic communication tools extensively. Users with different development experience and contributing to different category of projects tend to exhibit different motivations and behaviours. These findings confirm the differences between traditional and open source user collaboration and their implications for future open source evolution and management are given and discussed in this paper.

Working with data from the Apache and Mozilla projects, the study focuses on three aspects of open-source development. The first is the use of the open-source approach as a hedge against system complexity. The second is the adaptive learning mechanisms realized by the debugging process. The last is the learning curve effects of project-specific experience on bug cycle times. The results indicate that while open-source development is subject to positive learning effects, these effects are not universal, with some projects deriving more benefit than others.

abstract = {This paper discusses 3 key economic problems raised by the emergence of Open Source: motivation, co-ordination, and diffusion. First, the movement took off through the activity of a community that did not follow profit motivations. Second, a hierarchical co-ordination emerged without proprietary rights. Third, Open Source systems diffused in environments dominated by proprietary standard. The paper shows that recent developments in the theory of diffusion of technologies with network externality may help to explain these phenomena. A simulation model based on heterogeneous agents is developed in order to identify the relevant factors in the diffusion of the technology. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {This study examines the impact of technological acquisitions on contributions to firm-sponsored community-based open-source software (OSS). We distinguish between internal contributors affiliated with target firms and external contributors from the community, and examine how they respond to technological acquisitions differently. Theoretically, we examine how technological acquisition influences contributors' uncertainty about project quality through a signaling effect and influences their uncertainty about project continuity through potential resource combination. We connect uncertainties with contributors' motivations to theorize their responses to acquisitions. Empirically, we find that external contributors contribute more actively to both target firms' sponsored projects and other projects in the OSS community after acquisitions, which contrast with the adverse effects of acquisitions observed in traditional corporate innovation. Although internal contributors reduce contributions to target firms' sponsored projects after acquisitions, they increase contributions to other OSS projects in the community. We also find that the acquirer's OSS experience and the project similarity between the acquirer and the target drive both external and internal contributors to shift their development efforts to the acquirer's projects and other projects in the OSS community. By examining these effort shifts in OSS contributions, our study generates unique theoretical insights about the impacts of technological acquisitions in the OSS context and important practical implications for acquirers, target firms, and the general OSS community.},

Both a qualitative study and a quantitative study are conducted, and data analysis confirms both the Trust→CCBs and the CCBs→Trust hypotheses along the time dimension, revealing CCBs-Trust interactions as a mechanism for maintaining sustained community participation. Further, while it is found that CCBs have an accumulative overall positive impact on trust, alternating positive and negative impacts of CCBs on trust over time are identified. In addition, a delayed impact is also identified in the Trust→CCBs relationship. These findings are explained from several theoretical perspectives, which provide directions for future research and help community management to maintain sustained participation.},

abstract = {Image‐based water level measurements offer data quality assurance through visual verification that no other method can provide. GaugeCam Remote Image Manager‐Educational 2 (GRIME2) is a mature, open‐source commercial friendly software application that automatically detects and measures water level in laboratory and field settings. The software relies on a dedicated target background for water line detection and image calibration. The system detects the change in pixel gray scale values associated with the intersection of the water level at the target surface. Fiducials on the target background are used to precisely create a pixel to real world coordinate transfer matrix and to correct for camera movement. The presented software package implements the algorithms and automates the water level measurement process, annotation of images with result overlays, creation of animations, and output of results to files that can be further analyzed in a spreadsheet or with R or Python. These GRIME2 features are illustrated using imagery from a coastal marsh field site. Tradeoffs between workflow and algorithm complexity and ease of use are discussed and future improvements are identified with the intention that this Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable‐inspired software can be adopted, modified and improved by the user community. While image resolution, quality and other factors associated with field deployment (e.g., water surface roughness, sun glare, shadows, and bio‐fouling) will have an impact on measurement quality, previous controlled laboratory testing that did not manifest these issues showed potential for accuracy of ±3 mm (Gilmore et al., 2013, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2013.05.011).},

However, this research has focused mainly on social/cultural factors, neglecting the software tools and infrastructure. To shed light on how OSS tools and infrastructure might factor into OSS barriers to entry, we conducted two studies: (1) a field study with five teams of software professionals, who worked through five use cases to analyze the tools and infrastructure used in their OSS projects; and (2) a diary study with 22 newcomers (9 women and 13 men) to investigate whether the barriers matched the ones identified by the software professionals. The field study produced a bleak result: software professionals found gender biases in 73 percent of all the newcomer barriers they identified. Further, the diary study confirmed these results: Women newcomers encountered gender biases in 63 percent of barriers they faced. Fortunately, many kinds of barriers and biases revealed in these studies could potentially be ameliorated through changes to the OSS software environments and tools.},

Infrequent but ongoing participation is widespread, but the practices that community managers are using to manage EV, and their concerns about EV, have not been previously documented. We conducted a policy Delphi study involving 24 FLOSS community managers from 22 different communities. Our panel identified 16 concerns related to managing EV in FLOSS, which we ranked by prevalence. We also describe 65 practices for managing EV in FLOSS. Almost three-quarters of these practices are used by at least three community managers. We report these practices using a systematic presentation that includes context, relationships between practices, and concerns that they address. These findings provide a coherent framework that can help FLOSS community managers to better manage episodic contributors.},

abstract = {Previous research has predominantly taken a social network perspective suggesting that building more network connections or becoming deeply embedded in a network provides a better position to access network knowledge in open source software communities.This perspective implicitly assumes that accessed network knowledge automatically gets absorbed and transferred to projects, so that building more and deeper network connections is beneficial: Drawing from an absorptive capacity perspective, this research challenges such conventional wisdom, arguing instead that the benefits depend on a project's absorptive capacity. Network connections provide access to external knowledge in the community; the absorption and transfer of this new knowledge require appropriate internal knowledge and developer roles. With longitudinal data collected from 4,518 open source software development projects hosted at SourceForge, the authors show that knowledge breadth (depth) helps with the absorption of external knowledge achieved from network depth (breadth), but it inhibits the absorption of external knowledge obtained from network breadth (depth). Further, developer roles (e.g., bridge members, role diversity) can mitigate the negative consequences of suboptimal combinations and facilitate effective transfers of absorbed external knowledge across and within projects. These findings provide important theoretical and managerial implications for managing network connections, knowledge, and developer roles in open source software communities.},

Although many data scientists and the high-performing companies that employ them seem to have developed robust methods to employ data sciences practices to achieve competitive advantages, there have been few attempts at defining and explaining how and why data science helps firms to achieve desired outcomes. In this paper, we describe how data science, which combines computer programming, domain knowledge, and analytic skillsets to scientifically extract insights from data, can be used to help meet the growing demand of analytic needs across an organization's value chain. This is done through the illustration of an applied data science initiative to a strategic sourcing problem via the use of open-source technology. In doing so, we contribute to the growing data science literature by demonstrating the application of unique data science capabilities. Moreover, the paper provides a tutorial on how to use a specific R package along with an actual case in which that package use used.},

Our case studies highlight that the firms captured value from collaborating with these radical circles through developing internal assets (reputational, organizational, intellectual and human, and technological) and new business models. Starting from these insights, the study offers several contributions to open innovation research as well as interesting avenues for future inquiry into this topic.},

Identifying early success is important for catalyzing growth in OSS markets. However, previous OSS research has not examined early product success dynamics and assumes adoption to be a continuous process. We propose OSS takeoff in adoptions as a measure of eventual product success. Takeoff is a nonlinear inflection point separating the early development from the growth phase in the product lifecycle. Using arguments from the signaling literature, we propose that community activities send signals about product quality and reduce information asymmetry faced by potential adopters of OSS products. Estimating a Cox proportional hazard model using a large sample of OSS products from SourceForge, we find that takeoff times are significantly associated with signals of quality deficiency and improvement. Further, we find that target audience and product innovativeness moderate this relationship.},

In this study, we investigate and illustrate how OSS contributors accomplish large-scale refactoring in OSS development in which there is no significant corporate participation. In our observations, as the costs of coordination requirements rise, OSS contributors increase coordination capability to manage dependencies among multiple sources during the large-scale refactoring periods. Our findings suggest that OSS contributors episodically use traditional coordination mechanisms during the large-scale refactoring periods. Our study provides actionable insights into how OSS contributors make joint action that cannot be achieved by individuals working independently and use the provision of rewards in order to achieve a shared, explicit goal of large-scale refactoring.},

Infrequent contributions are part of a trend which has been widely observed in other sectors of volunteering, where it has been termed “episodic volunteering” (EV). Previous FLOSS research has focused on the Onion model, differentiating core and peripheral developers, with the latter considered as a homogeneous group. We argue this is too simplistic, given the size of the periphery group and the myriad of valuable activities they perform beyond coding. Our exploratory qualitative survey of 13 FLOSS communities investigated what episodic volunteering looks like in a FLOSS context. EV is widespread in FLOSS communities, although not specifically managed. We suggest several recommendations for managing EV based on a framework drawn from the volunteering literature. Also, episodic volunteers make a wide range of value-added contributions other than code, and they should neither be expected nor coerced into becoming habitual volunteers.},

"Followers" are people who have had previous contacts with an individual from another project and who continue to associate with him or her. We consider two types of followers: developers (those directly involved in software development) and observers (those indirectly involved in it). We conduct a series of empirical investigations by using a longitudinal dataset of OSS projects hosted in GitHub, along with a survey and qualitative data. We find that followership can affect code reuse, but the effect depends on the nature of the follower (developer or observer). Overall, our study suggests that followership is important for code reuse in OSS because it enables participants to learn, and learning promotes code reuse.},

doi = {10.1016/j.ijinfomgt.2018.11.015},
abstract = {Context Open Source Software (OSS) development is a knowledge focused activity which relies heavily on contributors who can be volunteers or paid workers and are geographically distributed. While working on OSS projects contributors acquire project related individualistic knowledge and gain experience and skills, which often remains unshared with others and is usually lost once contributors leave a project. All software development organisations face the problem of knowledge loss as employees leave, but this situation is exasperated in OSS projects where most contributors are volunteers with largely unpredictable engagement durations. Contributor turnover is inevitable due to the transient nature of OSS project workforces causing knowledge loss, which threatens the overall sustainability of OSS projects and impacts negatively on software quality and contributor productivity. Objective: The objective of this work is to deeply and systematically investigate the phenomenon of knowledge loss due to contributor turnover in OSS projects as presented in the state-of-the-art literature and to synthesise the information presented on the topic. Furthermore, based on the learning arising from our investigation it is our intention to identify mechanisms to reduce the overall effects of knowledge loss in OSS projects. Methodology: We use the snowballing methodology to identify the relevant literature on knowledge loss due to contributor turnover in OSS projects. This robust methodology for a literature review includes research question, search strategy, inclusion, exclusion, quality criteria, and data synthesis. The search strategy, and inclusion, exclusions and quality criteria are applied as a part of snowballing procedure. Snowballing is considered an efficient and reliable way to conduct a systematic literature review, providing a robust alternative to mechanically searching individual databases for given topics. Result: Knowledge sharing in OSS projects is abundant but there is no evidence of a formal strategy or practice to manage knowledge. Due to the dynamic and diverse nature of OSS projects, knowledge management is considered a challenging task and there is a need for a proactive mechanism to share knowledge in the OSS community for knowledge to be reused in the future by the OSS project contributors. From the collection of papers found using snowballing, we consolidated various themes on knowledge loss due to contributor turnover in OSS projects and identified 11 impacts due to knowledge loss in OSS projects, and 10 mitigations to manage with knowledge loss in OSS projects. Conclusion: In this paper, we propose future research directions to investigate integration of proactive knowledge retention practices with the existing OSS practices to reduce the current knowledge loss problem. We suggest that there is insufficient attention paid to KM in general in OSS, in particular there would appear to an absence of proactive measures to reduce the potential impact of knowledge loss. We also propose the need for a KM evaluation metric in OSS projects, similar to the ones that evaluate health of online communities, which should help to inform potential consumers of the OSS of the KM status on a project, something that is not existent today.},

This study measures the firm-level productivity impact of nonpecuniary (free) OSS and finds a positive and significant value-added return for firms that have an ecosystem of complementary capabilities. There is no such impact for firms without this ecosystem of complements. Dynamic panel analysis, instrumental variables, and a variety of robustness checks are used to address measurement error concerns and to add support for a more causal interpretation of the results. For firms with an ecosystem of complements, a 1\% increase in the use of nonpecuniary OSS leads to an increase in value-added productivity of between 0.002\% and 0.008\%. This effect is smaller for larger firms, and the results indicate that prior research underestimates the amount of IT firms use.},

abstract = {In this study, reliability analysis of open source software in an imperfect debugging environment has been discussed by considering the effect of detection rate and the remaining faults in successive releases. First, a modified non-homogeneous Poisson process model is developed in an imperfect debugging environment by assuming that new faults may be introduced in fault detection and correction process. Then, the detection rate and remaining faults of previous release are considered in the modeling and analysis of reliability of the current release. The optimal version-update time is computed using multi-attribute utility theory for these software systems, considering the two main utility factors, namely, rapid release strategy and level of reliability. The proposed models are verified on real data sets and are compared with other existing models. The proposed decision models may be helpful for the software developing management to decide the optimal version update time for open source software.},

Looking at questions asked in user communities for chemistry software projects, the author found that for software supported by feature-based documentation, problems of transparency and learnability are prominent, leading users to have difficulty reconciling disciplinary practices and values with software operations. For software supported by task-based documentation, usability problems were more prominent.

abstract = {Corporate involvement in open source software (OSS) communities has increased substantially in recent years. Often this takes the form of company employees devoting their time to contribute code to the efforts of projects in these communities. Ideology has traditionally served to motivate, coordinate, and guide volunteer contributions to OSS communities. As employees represent an increasing proportion of the participants in OSS communities, the role of OSS ideology in guiding their commitment and code contributions is unknown. In this research, we argue that OSS ideology misfit has important implications for companies and the OSS communities to which their employees contribute, since their engagement in such communities is not necessarily voluntary. We conceptualize two different types of misfit: OSS ideology under-fit, whereby an employee embraces an OSS ideology more than their coworkers or OSS community do, and OSS ideology over-fit, whereby an employee perceives that their coworkers or OSS community embrace the OSS ideology more strongly than the employee does. To develop a set of hypotheses about the implications of these two types of misfit for employee commitment to the company and commitment to the OSS community, we draw on self-determination theory. We test the hypotheses in a field study of 186 employees who participate in an OSS community. We find that OSS ideology under-fit impacts the company and the community in the same way: it decreases employee commitment to the company and commitment to the OSS community. In contrast, we find that OSS ideology over-fit increases commitment to the company but decreases commitment to the OSS community. Finally, we find that employees’ commitment to their company reinforces the impact of their commitment to the OSS community in driving ongoing code contributions. This provides a holistic view of OSS ideology and its impacts among an increasingly pervasive yet understudied type of participant in OSS research. It provides insights for companies that are considering assigning their employees to work in OSS communities as well as for OSS communities that are partnering with these companies.},

This paper aims to explore the mechanism of knowledge sharing in OSS projects from the perspective of developers in China. A quantitative method with the analysis of 403 valid questionnaires is adopted. A series of hypotheses about how distributed innovation (independent variables) influences knowledge sharing (mediating variable) and then affects the performance of OSS projects (dependent variable) are tested and approved. On the one side, we argue that developers will actively affect knowledge sharing in terms of participative motivation, social network and organisational culture. On the other hand, users may also affect the knowledge sharing when considering innovation willingness and capacity. It is interesting to find that social network is the most important factor in Chinese cases. It is strongly recommended to strengthen the collaboration between software companies and OSS communities.},

abstract = {A developer's reputation in the OSS community is determined by all the evaluations received from his or her peers. While a large body of studies focuses on the importance of developers' reputations in their participation motivations, there is still lack of understanding for two issues. First, which factors can lead to a high developer's reputation? Second, how does the overall reputation of the developers' in a project impact project success? In this study, we develop a theoretical model and conduct an empirical analysis in a large online open source community. The results show that a developer's reputation level is determined by his or her 1) coding quality, 2) the deviation of the commitment behavior, 3) community experience, and 4) collaboration experience. In addition, we find that the group with an overall higher level of reputation would achieve a better performance, while the individual reputation level deviation within the group would impair its technical success. The implications of our findings and the future research directions are then discussed.},

Thus, FLOSS evaluation-selection frameworks and FLOSS success-failure implementation factors studies have been conducted. In this research, we advance on such studies through an integrated FLOSS evaluation-selection model with a risk-based decision-making approach. Our model was built upon the other two literatures, and it was structured as a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) model which contains 12 variables grouped in four risk categories: financial, organisational, end user, and technical ones. We illustrated its utilisation in the domain of information technology service management (ITSM) FLOSS tools. Hence, our model contributes to the FLOSS literature with the inclusion of the risk management approach and to the FLOSS evaluation-selection praxis with the provision of an innovative and essential risk-based model.},

These decisions formed a coherent IP strategy in support of OSS.

abstract = {A diverse range of innovative solutions based on Free-and-Open-Source Software (FOSS) have been developed for marginalized communities in developing countries. It has been suggested that such small-scale and home-grown solutions (e.g. mobile phone apps), usually championed by social enterprises (SEs), are more likely to introduce pro-poor change than infrastructure heavy ICr initiatives designed by state and other international actors. In the Indian context, FOSS-based social innovations (Sis) introduced by SEs are helping poor communities tackle previously thought-to-be unresolvable socio-economic problems. An interesting question, therefore, would be: in what ways is the SE model and approach uniquely equipped to develop FOSS-based Sis that deliver pro-poor change? The empirical component of the research attempts to shed light on this question by uncovering the nuts and bolts of the development methodology deployed by an SE during the coding and launch of an FOSS-based SI. Findings highlight the significant role of the founder's social vision; the challenges of accurately capturing and translating to software developers the nature and nuance of social problems; and, the incumbent issues in putting together a methodology that creates active user engagement throughout the software development process, overcoming difficult barriers such as language and culture.},

abstract = {The rising participation of for-profit corporations in the development of open source software raises the question of why corporations are motivated toward this engagement. The increased participation is an observable phenomenon; many researchers and practitioners assume that the practice of community sharing does not improve the bottom line, but rather believe the practice is altruistic in nature. Our intuition is that participation offers tangible and intangible benefits to corporate participants. We show this by exploring a variety of models in game theory and use game theory as a methodological lens to explain the rationality of corporate participation in open source software development. Since game theory has evolved to include rational- and emotional-based reasons, we explore such lenses as cooperative games, metagames, coopetition, and Drama Theory. Our research question, "Why do for-profit corporations participate in the development of open source software?" was broad enough to adopt several useful perspectives to understand our data. One useful lens was game theory. In this article, we examine interview responses and field study data from corporate members of open source communities to determine how they justify devoting time and effort to community engagement. Our study makes a contribution to open source software literature by revealing that numerous rational and emotional reasons exist for corporate participation in open source software development.},

When open source software libraries are used, software resources may be linked directly or indirectly with multiple open source licenses giving rise to potential license incompatibilities. Adequate support in license use is vital in order to avoid such violations and address how diverse licenses should be handled. In the current work we investigate software licensing giving a critical and comparative overview of existing assistive approaches and tools. These approaches are centered on three main categories: license information identification from source code and binaries, software metadata stored in code repositories, and license modeling and associated reasoning actions. We also give a formalization of the license compatibility problem and demonstrate the role of existing approaches in license use decisions.},

abstract = {We present a fairly general model in which firms are competitors in a commercial market segment and can invest into a complementary public good like open source software. We show that, contrary to standard predictions, additional contribution to the public good by the government or a new market entrant can lead to higher investments of all incumbent firms, that is, a crowding-in effect. This result occurs if the investment cost function is superadditive. We find that government contribution leads to larger crowding-in effects than subsidizing market entry if the price elasticity of demand with respect to the private good is large relative to the one with respect to the public good. Our results are robust to extensions in the timing and the mode of competition.},

abstract = {The open source model of software development has become an attractive alternative to the traditional proprietary approach. However, the incomplete understanding of the phenomenon has continued to prompt researchers to investigate factors that could increase the use and popularity of open source software (OSS). While a key antecedent for OSS use highlighted in the previous literature is the software quality, we propose that effective online user support is also necessary to increase its popularity. As an understudied area, this paper seeks to understand the role of online user support networks in facilitating OSS use. Based on the network embeddedness theory, it suggests that properties of the user support network i.e., variation in structural and junctional embeddedness, measured as the in-degree and betweenness centralizations respectively, would affect OSS popularity in terms of the number of active users and downloads of the software. Testing on a sample of 176 OSS projects from Sourceforge.net, we showed that a negative quadratic relationship exists between the variation in structural embeddedness of the OSS user support network and the software popularity. Further, as hypothesized, the variation in junctional embeddedness was found to positively impact the OSS popularity. Theoretical and practical implications of the study are discussed.},

abstract = {This paper examines the within-industry diversification of software small and medium enterprises that collaborate with the open source software community (OSS SMEs). In doing so, it offers new insights into the association between open innovation and diversification. We rely on arguments inspired by the literature and evidence collected through interviews with OSS SMEs' top managers to investigate factors that favor or hinder within-industry diversification. First, in line with the mainstream diversification literature, we focus attention on the role of firm size. Second, in the spirit of the open innovation research, we concentrate on the mechanisms that OSS SMEs put in place to get access to the external resources of the OSS community. Econometric evidence on 100 European OSS SMEs shows that firm size is negatively associated to within-industry diversification, while OSS SMEs that have contributed to a larger number of OSS projects have a more diversified portfolio of software products. Furthermore, we provide preliminary evidence that the practice of authorizing firm programmers to contribute autonomously to OSS projects of their own choice during working hours may be positively associated to within-industry diversification only if OSS SMEs possess adequate internal technological resources.

abstract = {Institutional theory offers a very powerful lens to understand and explain societal phenomena. In the context of innovation and technology, this perspective provides insights that complement the understandings derived from a focus on just technology or economics. Adopting this standpoint, this paper examines the emergence of the organizational field of open source software as a response to the norms of propriety software that were unacceptable to many passionate software researchers and programmers.
The context of software product development has some unique characteristics that separates it from other industries. First, software products are information goods. In general, information goods have very high fixed costs of development and low marginal costs of reproduction which often leads to market inefficiencies. Second, IP protection has the potential to exaggerate the problem of market inefficiencies. Third, software is an input and also an output of the production function and IP protection has the potential to make the cost of software products prohibitively high. Fourth, the Internet has created the potential for the larger society to participate in the production process. These features of the software industry influence the dynamics among software professionals and orgnizations creating a distinctive context which can be better understood through the lens of institutional theory.
According to institution theory, organizations seek to obtain legitimacy, which goes beyond technological or economic performance, by conforming to institutional requirements in a context. There are three forms of legitimacy. Pragmatic legitimacy, based on regulative requirements, is acquired by complying with the legal and regulative rules in the organizational field. Moral legitimacy, based on normative requirements, is obtained by ensuring that the activities of an organization promote societal good or welfare. Finally, cognitive legitimacy is derived from the extent to which the activities of an organization mesh with the taken-for-granted norms in the larger context. While institutions are normally sustained for long, they do experience change. Institutional change is driven by institutional entrepreneurs who create, maintain, and disrupt the practices that are considered legitimate, and challenge the boundaries that demarcate one field from another.
The findings of this study capture the intricate dynamics and interactions among institutional requirements, software professionals and organizations that led to the norms of the institution of propriety software being challenged. It suggests that the process of institutional change can lead to the creation of a new alternate organizational field leaving the original field largely untouched. This paper contributes to the understanding of the software industry and suggests implications for other industries that produce information goods.},

Developer email messages were collected from two FLOSS projects with different development statuses, and their content was analyzed to identify frequently used group maintenance tactics. We then compared the group maintenance tactics used in the two projects, finding differences that reflect changes in the project work practices. Our work theoretically contributes to FLOSS research and has practical implications for FLOSS practitioners. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

Both of these aspects can be modified, depending on the evaluation made of a series of characteristics (or dimensions) inherent to the model. (ii) The free dissemination of the source code of the application not only allows the transfer of knowledge, but also creates virtual communities which, through collaborative work and the exchange of experiences, can achieve a better fit of the technology to the task at hand. This model has been introduced in several departments at the University of Granada (Spain), and evaluated in terms of the results obtained at both individual and group levels. This evaluation was conducted by means of in-depth interviews with departmental managers. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Many organisations are dependent upon long-term sustainable software systems and associated communities. In this paper we consider long-term sustainability of Open Source software communities in Open Source software projects involving a fork. There is currently a lack of studies in the literature that address how specific Open Source software communities are affected by a fork. We report from a study aiming to investigate the developer community around the LibreOffice project, which is a fork from the OpenOffice.org project. In so doing, our analysis also covers the OpenOffice.org project and the related Apache OpenOffice project. The results strongly suggest a long-term sustainable LibreOffice community and that there are no signs of stagnation in the LibreOffice project 33 months after the fork. Our analysis provides details on developer communities for the LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice projects and specifically concerning how they have evolved from the OpenOffice.org community with respect to project activity, developer commitment, and retention of committers over time. Further, we present results from an analysis of first hand experiences from contributors in the LibreOffice community. Findings from our analysis show that Open Source software communities can outlive Open Source software projects and that LibreOffice is perceived by its community as supportive, diversified, and independent. The study contributes new insights concerning challenges related to long-term sustainability of Open Source software communities. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Sequences of relational events underlie much empirical research on organizational relations. Yet relational event data are typically aggregated and dichotomized to derive networks that can be analyzed with specialized statistical methods. Transforming sequences of relational events into binary network ties entails two main limitations: the loss of information about the order and number of events that compose each tie and the inability to account for compositional changes in the set of actors and/or recipients. In this article, we introduce a newly developed class of statistical models that enables researchers to exploit the full information contained in sequences of relational events. We propose an extension of the models to cater for sequences of relational events linking different sets of actors. We illustrate the empirical application of relational event models in the context of a free/open source software project with the aim to explain the level of effort produced by contributors to the project. We offer guidance in the interpretation of model parameters by characterizing the social processes underlying organizational problem solving. We discuss the applicability of relational events models in organizational research. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

In doing so, we consider the content of potential information flows within the network and argue that the impact of network structure on technology adoption can be better understood by separately examining its impact from two groups of alters-current and potential adopters. We contend that increased network centrality and closure among current adopters contribute positively to adoption, whereas the same among potential adopters has exactly the opposite impact. Accordingly, we propose a dynamic view where the fraction of current adopters in the network positively moderates the impact of network centrality and closure. We empirically test the theory by analyzing the adoption of software version control technology by open source software projects. Our results strongly support the theory. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Open source software is becoming increasingly prominent, and the economic structure of open-source development is changing. In recent years, firms motivated by revenues from software services markets have become the primary contributors to open-source development. In this paper we study the role of services in open source software development and explore the choice between open source and proprietary software. Specifically, our economic model jointly analyzes the investment and pricing decisions of the originators of software and of subsequent open-source contributors. We find that if a contributor is efficient in software development, the originator should adopt an open-source strategy, allowing the contributor to offer higher total quality and capture the higher end of the market while the originator focuses on providing software services to lower end consumers. Conversely, if the contributor is not efficient in development, the originator should adopt a proprietary software development strategy, gaining revenue from software sales and squeezing the contributor out of the services market. In certain cases an increase in originator development efficiency can result in increased contributor profits. Finally, we find that, somewhat counterintuitively, an increase in contributor development efficiency can reduce overall social welfare. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

It argues that collaborative FOSS production by volunteer software developers is a species of critical social practice in Boltanski and Chiapello's sense: rooted in resistance to capitalist social relations, and yet also a source of values that justify the new routes to profitability associated with contemporary network capitalism. Advanced via collective projects that are sustained by hacker norms and privately legislated 'copyleft' law, the FOSS ethos is apparently antithetical to private property-based accumulation. Yet it can be shown to embody the 'new spirit of capitalism' in its most distilled form; moreover FOSS developers have instituted new forms of property and new modes of profit creation around software that are in the process of being adapted for use in other economic sectors. Meanwhile, the private law constraints on profit-seeking that have emerged from the FOSS movement are counteracting some of the social pathologies that accompany network capitalism only to consolidate others. The paper concludes by identifying likely bases for a renewal of critique given these realities.},

abstract = {The potential cost savings and customizability of open source software (OSS) may be particularly attractive for hospitals. However, numerous health-care-specific OSS applications exist, the adoption of OSS health information technology (HIT) applications is not widespread in the US. This disconnect between the availability of promising software and low adoption raises the basic question: If OSS HIT is so advantageous, why are more health care organizations not using it? The authors interviewed the CIO, or equivalent position, at 17 not-for-profit and public hospitals across the US. Interviews described the state of OSS use in hospitals. Specifically, general OSS applications were widely used by IT professionals. In addition, hospitals using OSS HIT still relied heavily on vendor support. In terms of why decisions arose to use OSS HIT, several hospitals using OSS HIT noted the cost advantages. In contrast, hospitals avoiding OSS HIT were clear, OSS as a class did not fit with clinical work and posed too much risk.},

abstract = {Open source software (OSS) communities live and die with the continuous contributions of programmers who often participate without direct remuneration. In this paper, the authors draw upon theories of signaling and job matching to hypothesize that participants who possess "proof" of their skills in OSS projects are financially rewarded for their activities in the labor market. Following a cohort of OSS programmers over a six-year period, they empirically examine the wages and OSS performance of participants in three of the foremost OSS projects operating within the Apache Software Foundation. Controlling for individual characteristics and other wage-related factors, their findings reveal that credentials earned through a merit-based ranking system are associated with as much as an 18\% increase in wages. Moreover, they find that participants who have OSS project management responsibilities receive additional financial rewards if their professional job is in IT management.},

abstract = {The authors adapt and extend the heterogeneous diffusion model from sociology and examine the conditions under which prior adopters of competing open source software (OSS) licenses socially influence how a new OSS project chooses among such licenses and how the experiences of the project manager of a new OSS project with particular licenses affects its susceptibility to this social influence. We test our predictions using a sample of 5,307 open source projects hosted at SourceForge. Their results suggest the most important factor determining a new project's license choice is the type of license chosen by existing projects that are socially closer to it in its interproject social network. Moreover, we find that prior adopters of a particular license are more infectious in their influence on the license choice of a new project as their size and performance rankings increase. Finally, they find a project manager is more likely to adopt a particular license type when his or her project occupies a similar social role as other projects that have adopted the same license.},

abstract = {When trying to attain the benefits of open source software (OSS), proprietary closed source software (PCSS) firms are struggling to adopt this radically different practice of software development. We approach these adoption challenges as a problem of gaining support for organizational innovation. Through a mixed-method research design consisting of qualitative interviews and a survey of employees of a large telecommunications firm, we find that the organizational innovation to commercially engage in OSS has different impacts on technical and administrative dimensions of different job roles. Accordingly, individuals enacting different job roles are -- on average -- more or less well aligned with the OSS practice and OSS processes per se. We find that individual-level attributes can counterbalance the job role changes that weaken support for adopting OSS, while perceived organizational commitment has no effect. Suggestions for PCSS firms are presented and implications for innovation literature are discussed. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

This paper proposes a framework for evaluating the quality and functionality of open source software systems. The name of the framework is EFFORT (Evaluation Framework for Free/Open souRce projecTs). It supports the evaluation of product quality, community trustworthiness and product attractiveness. EFFORT is a useful tool for evaluating and selecting an open source software system. It may significantly reduce the amount of negotiation conducted among an enterprise's members and reduce the time and cost required for gathering and interpreting data. The EFFORT framework also considers the users' opinions by introducing relevance markers associated with the metrics and questions in the data aggregation process.},

Data management, and in particular the technology and applications of Spatial Databases, forms a key part of the curriculum on these courses. Interest in Spatial Databases is, however, more widespread - especially with the increasing understanding of the relevance of geospatial techniques to fields as diverse as anthropology and architecture. This article describes the development and evaluation of a self-paced hands-on course on Databases and Spatial Databases for CEGE students, presented to students to complement and enhance in-class teaching. The article focuses on both pedagogical elements of self-paced learning and the suitability of Free and Open Source Software and Open Data (PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Quantum GIS, Open Street Map) for the Spatial Databases curriculum. The resulting material was evaluated by a cohort of 25 students in 2010, and their feedback (very positive) and the overall results provide an interesting insight into suitable methods to employ when teaching technical subjects to a cohort having differing background skill levels.

abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) projects are contingent on volunteer developers and voluntary contributions from users, accordingly, traditional performance measures used for software projects, like being on time and budget, and satisfying specifications, may not be relevant for such projects. Although researchers have studied some predictors of OSS project performance, there is a lack of empirical work that studies the impact of project capabilities on the performance of OSS projects. Therefore, this paper studies project capabilities as potential predictors of OSS project performance. The data, gathered from 607 OSS projects over time (in two snap-shots), were consistent with Dynamic Capability Theory (DCT). In other words, the results showed that in order to achieve higher project performance, OSS projects need to have strong capabilities in terms of proactive and efficient defect-removal as well as proactive and efficient functionality-enhancement. The implications of these results for the OSS research community are discussed, followed by recommendations for OSS practitioners. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Many researchers have pointed out that the open source movement is an interesting phenomenon that is difficult to explain with conventional economic theories. However, while there is no shortage on research on individuals' motivation for contributing to open source, few have investigated the commercial companies' motivations for doing the same. A case study was conducted at three different companies from the IT service industry, to investigate three possible drivers: sale of complimentary services, innovation and opensourcing (outsourcing). We offer three conclusions. First, we identified three main drivers for contributing to open source, which are (a) selling complimentary services, (b) building greater innovative capability and (c) cost reduction through opensourcing to an external community. Second, while previous research has documented that the most important driver is selling complimentary services, we found that this picture is too simple. Our evidence points to a broader set of motivations, in the sense that all our cases exhibit combinations of the three drivers. Finally, our findings suggest that there might be a shift in how commercial companies view open source software. The companies interviewed have all expressed a moral obligation to contribute to open source. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

By evaluating some of the well known FOSS anti-filtering packages used by Iran's digital community, this study found that despite the success of FOSS in combating filtering and state censorship, the majority of these software packages were not designed to meet the needs of Internet users. In addition, these software packages do not meet the level of sophistication used by authorities to filter the content of the Net. Therefore, this study offers a new model that takes into account not only the existing level of the Internet infrastructure but also the growing number of Internet users demanding more effective FOSS packages for faster access to uncensored information while maintaining anonymity.},

Then, we provide a rigorous quantitative analysis of the innovation impact of these collaborations. Our econometric estimates indicate that entrepreneurial ventures collaborating with the OSS community exhibit superior innovation performance compared with their noncollaborating peers.

abstract = {Open-source software development is the next stage in the evolution of product development, particularly software products. Compared with the prevailing proprietary approaches, open-source software products are developed by co-opting external developers and prospective users. Although a core group of developers might still play a key role in the initial design and development, a notable aspect of the open-source software paradigm is the role of peripheral developers in the enhancement and popularization of the product. Peripheral developers are not formal members of the core development team. They voluntarily contribute their time and creative talent in improving the quality of the product or in popularizing the product through word-of-mouth advocacy. As volunteers, they are not subject to the traditional hierarchical controls, nor are they contractually obligated. Peripheral developers represent a novel and unique aspect of open-source software development, and there is a greater interest in tapping their potential. However, there has been limited evidence about how and when their participation has beneficial impacts. We examine how peripheral developers contribute to product quality and diffusion by utilizing longitudinal data on 147 open-source software products. Hierarchical linear modeling analysis indicates that peripheral developers make significant contributions to product quality and diffusion, especially on projects that are in the more mature stages of product development.

abstract = {Organizations and individuals can use open source software (OSS) for free, they can study its internal workings, and they can even fix it or modify it to make it suit their particular needs. These attributes make OSS an enticing technological choice for a company. Unfortunately, because most enterprises view technology as a proprietary differentiating element of their operation, little is known about the extent of OSS adoption in industry and the key drivers behind adoption decisions. In this article we examine factors and behaviors associated with the adoption of OSS and provide empirical findings through data gathered from the US Fortune-1000 companies. The data come from each company's web browsing and serving activities, gathered by sifting through more than 278 million web server log records and analyzing the results of thousands of network probes. We show that the adoption of OSS in large US companies is significant and is increasing over time through a low-churn transition, advancing from applications to platforms. Its adoption is a pragmatic decision influenced by network effects. It is likelier in larger organizations and those with many less productive employees, and is associated with IT and knowledge-intensive work and operating efficiencies. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

We develop a framework for organizing the literature based on the input-mediator-output-input (IMOI) model from the small groups literature. We present a quantitative summary of articles selected for the review and then discuss findings of this literature categorized into issues pertaining to inputs (e.g., member characteristics, technology use, and project characteristics), processes (software development practices, social processes, and firm involvement practices), emergent states (e.g., social states and task-related states), and outputs (e.g. team performance, FLOSS implementation, and project evolution). Based on this review, we suggest topics for future research, as well as identify methodological and theoretical issues for future inquiry in this area, including issues relating to sampling and the need for more longitudinal studies.

abstract = {A theoretical framework is proposed for the better understanding of the OSS global diffusion. Following a case study approach, the Apache Web server's market potential is estimated, forecasted and examined in terms of the socio-economic factors determining its diffusion, across different economic environments in developed versus developing countries. Market saturation is explored under the prism of three theoretical perspectives: the institutional, the endogenous and the exogenous growth theories. Findings suggest that Apache market saturation levels depend on both endogenous and exogenous to a country factors and that institutional quality plays an important role to the market potential. Implications for theory and public policy are discussed. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {In this paper we present a theoretical model to study the characteristics and the commercial sustainability of dual licensing, an open source (OS) business strategy that has gained popularity among software vendors. With dual licensing, a firm releases the same software product under both a traditional proprietary license and an open source one. We show that the decision to employ a dual licensing strategy occurs whenever the feedbacks of the open source community are valuable enough compared to the quality of the software that the firm is able to develop in-house. Our analysis points to the central role of an appropriate managing of OS licenses in order to balance the pros and cons of "going open source" and to make this versioning strategy viable for software vendors; our analysis also suggests a possible explanation for the observed proliferation of open source licenses.

abstract = {There is a growing body of research to show that, with the advent of so-called professional Open Source, attitudes within many organisations towards adopting Open Source software have changed. However, there have been conflicting reports on the extent to which this is true of the embedded software systems sector -- a large sector in Europe. This paper reports on attitudes towards Open Source software within that sector. Our results show a high level of acceptance of Open Source products with large, well established communities, and not only at the level of the operating system. Control over the software is seen as fundamentally important. Other key perceptions with Open Source are an easing of long-term maintenance problems and ready availability of support. The classical strengths of Open Source, namely mass inspection, ease of conducting trials, longevity and source code access for debugging, were at the forefront of thinking. However, there was an acknowledgement that more guidelines are needed for assessing Open Source software and incorporating it into products. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

In addition to the traditional technology adoption variables the findings stress the importance of social identification as a key driver of OSS adoption.

abstract = {Many successful open-source projects have been developed by programmers who were employed by firms but worked on open-source projects on the side because of economic incentives like career improvement benefits. Such side work may be a good thing for the employing firms, too, if they get some strategic value from the open-source software and if the productivity of the programmers on these projects improves through learning-by-doing effects. However, the programmers may work more or less on these projects than what is best for the firms. To manage the programmers' efforts, the firms set appropriate employment policies and incentives. These policies and career concerns then together govern the programmers' effort allocation between the open-source and proprietary projects. We examine this relationship using a variant of the principal/agent model. We derive and characterize optimal employment contracts and show that firms either offer a bonus for only one of the two projects or do not offer any bonuses. However, if attractive alternate employment opportunities are available, they change their strategy and may offer bonuses for both projects simultaneously. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

This paper seeks to identify how organizations adopt OSS, classify the literature according to these ways of adopting OSS, and with a focus on software development evaluate the research on adoption of OSS in organizations. Based on the systematic literature review method, the authors reviewed publications from 24 journals and seven conference and workshop proceedings, published between 1998 and 2008. From a population of 24,289 papers, the authors identified 112 papers that provide empirical evidence on how organizations actually adopt OSS. The authors show that adopting OSS involves more than simply using OSS products. The authors moreover provide a classification framework consisting of six distinctly different ways in which organizations adopt OSS. The authors find that existing research on OSS adoption does not sufficiently describe the context of the organizations studied, and it fails to benefit fully from related research fields.},

abstract = {Traditionally the protection of intellectual property is regarded as a precondition for value capture. The rise of open source (OS) software and OS tangible products, so-called open design, has challenged this understanding. Openness is often regarded as a dichotomous variable (open-source vs closed-source) and it is assumed that online developer communities demand full opening of the product's source. In this paper we will explore openness as a gradual and multi-dimensional concept. We carried out an Internet survey (N = 270) among participants of 20 open design communities in the domain of IT hardware and consumer electronics. We find that open design projects pursue complex strategies short of complete openness and that communities value openness of software more highly than openness of hardware. Our findings suggest that open design companies can successfully implement strategies of partial openness to safeguard value capture without alienating their developer community.

These organizations are voluntary in nature and rely on contributions from members to achieve their objectives. Examples include the Linux operating system and other FOSS projects, political movements, churches and religious groups, Habitat for Humanity, and similar charitable organizations. In this paper, we consider a world containing agents with heterogeneous abilities who may voluntarily choose to make effort contributions to one or more different public projects. Agents are motivated by a desire to be seen as significant contributors to important and valuable projects, the warm glow from the act of contributing, and a desire to directly enjoy the benefits of projects when complete. We find that contributions from others can be either strategic complements or substitutes. We show that Nash equilibria exist and study how agents' abilities and project quality affect the equilibrium levels of contributions. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

This paper analyzes one of the most powerful online collaborative platforms, the free software (FS) case, which involves a lot of virtual communities developed around products such as Linux or Android, the new Google's mobile operating system. Our purpose is to determine some of the main antecedents and consequences of the consumer involvement in this type of communities. Results have shown that satisfaction with a virtual community may increase the level of consumer participation in that community. At the same time, a greater identification with the virtual community may increase indirectly the consumer participation thanks to the enhancement of his/her satisfaction with the community. We have also found positive and significant effects of consumer identification and participation on the level of community promotion. Finally, positive and significant effects of consumer participation and satisfaction with the community on loyalty to the FS were also found. These findings allow us to conclude some interesting managerial implications. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

These efforts aim to identify common elements in the development process between multiple open source software projects. In this paper, the authors propose that the Design and Engineering Methodology for Organizations (DEMO) may provide an interesting alternative to develop OSSD process models. DEMO exhibits two unique features within the context of OSSD process modeling. First, DEMO analyzes processes at the ontological level and provides high-level process descriptions, instead of focusing on the implementation level. Second, DEMO studies the communication patterns between human actors, instead of the sequences in which activities are performed. The authors investigate the feasibility of using DEMO to construct OSSD process models by means of a case study. Their results showed that their DEMO models exhibited a high level of abstraction, thereby reducing the complexity of the OSSD process models. The authors have shown that the DEMO methodology can be successfully used to model OSSD processes and to obtain abstract and high-quality OSSD process models.},

The development of OSS projects relies on virtual communities, which are built on relationships among members, being their final objective sharing knowledge and improving the underlying project. This study addresses the interactive collaboration in these kinds of communities applying social network analysis (SNA). In particular, SNA techniques will be used to identify those members playing a middle-man role among other community members. Results will illustrate the importance of this role to achieve successful virtual communities. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

Overall, this research refines our understanding of the boundary conditions under which engagement in community-based innovation yields private returns to commercial actors. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {As a community-based innovation, the open source software (OSS) development phenomenon has received great attention from researchers and practitioners. Understanding the factors that affect the involvement and contributions of participants in OSS projects is of significance to facilitate project success. This paper investigates the effects of motivation on participant performance in OSS projects, drawing upon self-determination theory to examine how task effort (i. e., effort intensity and goal commitment) mediates the relationships between a spectrum of motivations and individual performance. The research model is supported by survey data from 204 participants in OSS projects. The theoretical contributions and managerial implications are discussed. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Free, libre or open-source software (FLOSS) is nowadays produced not only by individual benevolent developers but, in a growing proportion, by firms that hire programmers for their own objectives of development in open source or for contributing to open-source projects in the context of dedicated communities. A recent literature has focused on the question of the business models explaining how and why firms may draw benefits from such involvement and their connected activities. They can be considered as the building blocks of a new modus operandi of an industry, built on an alternative approach to intellectual property management. Its prospects will depend on both the firms' willingness to rally and its ability to compete with the traditional proprietary approach. As a matter of fact, firms' involvement in FLOSS, while growing, remains very contrasted, depending on the nature of the products and the characteristics of the markets. This paper asks why for-profit firms contribute to FLOSS development and why some firms contribute more than others. The common explanation is that FLOSS is often a complement to proprietary software (or hardware or services) that the for-profit firm sells at a positive price. We present an alternative explanation based on the users' skill level. When users are skilled, opening the software is likely to result in a better product because the user base will contribute improvements (find bugs, write fixes and produce new features). We introduce the concept of the dominant user's skill and set up a theoretical model to better understand how it may condition the nature and outcome of the competition between a FLOSS firm and a proprietary firm. We discuss these results in the light of stylized facts drawn from recent trends in the software industry. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

But most of these users have never heard of the ethical reasons for which developers developed this system and built the free software community, because today this system and community are more often described as "open source," and attributed to a different philosophy in which these freedoms are hardly mentioned. Nearly all open source software is free software; the two terms describe almost the same category of software. But they stand for views based on fundamentally different values. Open source is a development methodology; free software is a social movement. As the advocates of open source draw new users into the community, free software activists must work even more to bring the issue of freedom to those new users attention.},

abstract = {Since the mid-1990s, there has been a surge of interest among academics and practitioners in open source software (OSS). While there is an abundance of literature on OSS, most studies on OSS success are either qualitative or exploratory in nature. To identify the factors that influence OSS success and establish generalizability, an empirical study measuring OSS success would enable OSS developers and users to improve OSS usage. In this study, we develop an OSS success model from a previous Information Systems success model incorporating the characteristics of OSS. Using the proposed model, we identify five determinants for OSS success as well as a number of significant relationships among these determinants. Our findings demonstrate that software quality and community service quality have significant effects on user satisfaction. Software quality and user satisfaction, in turn, have significant effects on OSS use. Additionally, OSS use and user satisfaction have significant effects on individual net benefits. This research contributes towards advancing theoretical understanding of OSS success as well as offering OSS practitioners for enhancing OSS success. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

Specifically, our research focused on learning effects of OSS projects and the factors that affect the learning process. The number and percentage of resolved bugs and bug resolution time of 118 SourceForge.net OSS projects were used to measure the learning effects. Projects were characterized by project type, number and experience of developers, number of bugs, and bug resolution time. Our results provided evidence of virtual organizational learning in OSS development projects and support for several factors as determinants of performance. Team size was a significant predictor, with mid-sized project teams functioning best. Teams of three to seven developers exhibited the highest efficiency over time and teams of eight to 15 produced the lowest mean time for bug resolution. Increasing the percentage of bugs assigned to specific developers or boosting developer participation in other OSS projects also improved performance. Furthermore, project type introduced variability in project team performance. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {This paper seeks to close an empirical gap regarding the motivations, personal attributes and behavioral patterns among free/libre and open-source (FLOSS) developers, especially those involved in community-based production, and considers the bearing of its findings on the existing literature and the future directions for research. Respondents to an extensive web-survey's (FLOSS-US 2003) questions about their reasons for beginning to work FLOSS are classified according to their distinct "motivational profiles" by hierarchical cluster analysis. Over half of them also are matched to projects of known membership sizes, revealing that although some members from each of the clusters are present in the small, medium and large ranges of the distribution of project sizes, the mixing fractions for the large and the very small project ranges are statistically different. Among developers who changed projects, there is a discernable flow from the bottom toward the very small towards to large projects, some of which is motivated by individuals seeking to improve their programming skills. It is found that the profile of early motivation, along with other individual attributes, significantly affects individual developers' selections of projects from different regions of the size range.

Community institutions are attractors for some individuals while discouraging other individuals from entering or continuing to participate. Their suitability may change as a community grows. This paper examines the institutions of the Debian community where issues of community identity, distribution of authority, and decentralisation have facilitated growth and development. These same institutions have also resulted in conflicts regarding community purposes and the quality and delivery of the community's output. We examine the institutional redesign undertaken to address these problems and derive implications for F/LOS communities and companies. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) has already been adopted by a large number of organizations. An important - but sometimes neglected - group of OSS users are Independent Software Vendors (ISVs). lSVs often develop their applications on top of OSS platform software. Frequently, this requires making several extensions and modifications to these OSS components. We identify a number of challenges that ISVs face in handling these extensions and modifications. Next, we describe several strategies ISVs can follow in maintaining these modifications. Finally, we suggest an opportunity for a closer collaboration between OSS projects and ISVs which could be mutually beneficial. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

Following a case study methodology, we examined developer interaction data from three active and successful FLOSS projects using qualitative research methods, specifically inductive content analysis, to identify the task-assignment mechanisms used by the participants. We found that 'self-assignment' was the most common mechanism across three FLOSS projects. This mechanism is consistent with expectations for distributed and largely volunteer teams. We conclude by discussing whether these emergent practices can be usefully transferred to mainstream practice and indicating directions for future research. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

"Collective invention" regimes usually ended when a dominant design emerged. This is not the case with OSS. Firstly, the OSS community developed the institutional innovation of OSS licenses enabling OSS software to survive as a common property. Secondly, these licenses are mainly enforced by pro-socially motivated contributors. We characterize the conditions under which OSS communities develop and sustain pro-social commitments. We point out the vulnerability of these conditions to developments in patent legislation. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

We adapt a dynamic private-provision-of-public-goods model to reflect key aspects of the OSS phenomenon, such as play value or homo ludens payoff, user-programmers' and gift culture benefits. Such intrinsic motives feature extensively in the wider OSS literature and contribute new insights to the economic analysis. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {The emerging work on understanding open source software has questioned what leads to effectiveness in OSS development teams in the absence of formal controls, and it has pointed to the importance of ideology. This paper develops a framework of the OSS community ideology (including specific norms, beliefs, and values) and a theoretical model to show how adherence to components of the ideology impacts effectiveness in the OSS team. The model is based on the idea that the tenets of the OSS ideology motivate behaviors that enhance cognitive trust and communication quality and encourage identification with the project team, which enhances effective trust. Trust and communication in turn impact OSS team effectiveness. The research considers to kinds of effectiveness in OSS teams: the attraction and retention of developer input and the generation of project outputs. Hypotheses regarding antecedents to each are developed. Hypotheses are tested using survey and objective data on OSS projects. Results support the main thesis that OSS team ideology impacts OSS team effectiveness and reveal that different components impact effectiveness in different ways. Of particular interest is the finding that adherence to some ideological components was beneficial to the effectiveness of the team in terms of attracting and retaining input, but detrimental to the output of the team. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {The development of knowledge requires investment, which may be made in terms of financial resources or time. Open source software (OSS) has challenged much of the traditional reasoning by suggesting that individuals behave altruistically and contribute to a public good, despite the opportunity to free-ride. The lion's share of the existing literature on OSS examines communities, that is, those individuals whom are already part of the OSS community. In contrast, this paper starts from users with the requisite skill to use and develop OSS. This group of skilled individuals could potentially invest into the development of OSS knowledge, but they may or may not do so in actuality. This paper, therefore, explores three issues, which have not been extensively explored in the literature, namely, (1) how frequently a group of skilled people use OSS, (2) reasons for differences among users and non-users in terms of use and attitudes, and (3) how frequently, and why, some users contribute to OSS projects (and thereby become developers). In doing so, we consider the opportunity costs of use and development of OSS, which has been largely neglected in the literature. We find that the individuals have a rather pragmatic attitude to firms and that many are active in both firms and OSS community, which raises many questions for future research about the role and influence of firms on the development and diffusion of OSS.

Such social conventions legitimise value and provide identification in the global online community and have important implications for service industries in general. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {This paper deals with the relationships between firms and communities in open source software (OSS). A particular feature of OSS is that important resources are not directly controlled by firms, but partly reside within communities that co-exist with the firms. Despite this, firms explicitly try to utilize the resources within these communities in order to create and appropriate value. Consequently, the relationships that firms have to these communities influence their way of doing business. Based on case studies of Nordic OSS firms, a typology consisting of symbiotic, commensalistic, and parasitic approaches to handle the firm-community relationship is developed. Depending on the chosen approach, firms encounter different managerial issues and also use different operational means of subtle control. While firms relying on a symbiotic approach have greater possibility to influence the community through subtle means of control, they are also confronted with more challenging managerial issues.

We are particularly interested in the strategies and processes by which new people join the existing community of software developers, and how they initially contribute code. Analyzing data from multiple sources on the Freenet software development process, we generate the constructs of joining script specialization, contribution barriers, and feature gifts, and propose relationships among these. Implications for theory and research are discussed. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

This observation, however, has not been discussed in much detail and critically addressed by the software engineering community. Most of the claims associated with open source appear to be weakly motivated and articulated. For this reason, this paper proposes some qualitative reflections and observations on the nature of open source software and on the most popular and important claims associated with the open source approach. The ultimate goal of the paper is to identify the concepts and intuitions that are really peculiar to open source, and to distinguish them from features and aspects that can be equally applied to or found in proprietary software.

In the early parts of the paper it is argued that, although GNU/LINUX can generate substantial savings when used instead of the proprietary alternative in numerous institutional settings, the most telling opportunities for developing countries arise when this system is combined with other ways of reducing computing costs. Policy, therefore, should not only consist of substituting GNU/LINUX for proprietary software in running the latest and most expensive hardware, but also of lowering these latter costs themselves. Later sections focus on the link between the choice of software and path-dependency. It is suggested that the problem of proprietary lock-in in developing countries has been greatly accentuated by piracy of Microsoft operating systems and that the result is a stagnation of the technological capabilities in software that these countries need so badly.},

abstract = {Attracting and retaining newcomers are critical aspects for OSS projects, as such projects rely on newcomers’ sustainable contributions. Considerable effort has been made to help newcomers by identifying and overcoming the barriers during the onboarding process. However, most newcomers eventually fail and drop out of their projects even after successful onboarding. Meanwhile, it has been long known that individuals’ early career stages profoundly impact their long-term career success. However, newcomers’ early careers are less investigated in SE research. In this paper, we sought to develop an empirical understanding of the relationships between newcomers’ dynamic contribution patterns in their early careers and their technical success. To achieve this goal, we compiled a dataset of newcomers’ contribution data from 54 large OSS projects under three different ecosystems and analyzed it with time series analysis and other statistical analysis techniques. Our analyses yield rich findings. The correlations between several contribution patterns and technical success were identified. In general, being consistent and persistent in newcomers’ early careers is positively associated with their technical success. While these correlations generally hold in all three ecosystems, we observed some differences in detailed contribution patterns correlated with technical success across ecosystems. In addition, we performed a case study to investigate whether another type of contributions, i.e., documentation contribution, could potentially have positive correlations with newcomers’ technical success. We discussed the implications and summarized practical recommendations to OSS newcomers. The insights gained from this work demonstrated the necessity of extending the focus of research and practice to newcomers’ early careers and hence shed light on future research in this direction.},

Several vulnerability scanners to detect known-vulnerable dependencies appeared in the last decade, however, there exists no case study investigating the impact of development practices, e.g., forking, patching, re-bundling, on their performance. This paper studies (i) types of modifications that may affect vulnerable open-source dependencies and (ii) their impact on the performance of vulnerability scanners. Through an empirical study on 7,024 Java projects developed at SAP , we identified four types of modifications: re-compilation, re-bundling, metadata-removal and re-packaging. In particular, we found that more than 87 percent (56 percent, resp.) of the vulnerable Java classes considered occur in Maven Central in re-bundled (re-packaged, resp.) form. We assessed the impact of these modifications on the performance of the open-source vulnerability scanners OWASP Dependency-Check (OWASP) and Eclipse Steady, GitHub Security Alerts, and three commercial scanners. The results show that none of the scanners is able to handle all the types of modifications identified. Finally, we present Achilles , a novel test suite with 2,505 test cases that allow replicating the modifications on open-source dependencies.},

abstract = {Context: Open Source Software (OSS) projects are typically the result of collective efforts performed by developers with different backgrounds. Although the quality of developers’ contributions should be the only factor influencing the evaluation of the contributions to OSS projects, recent studies have shown that diversity issues are correlated with the acceptance or rejection of developers’ contributions. Objective: This paper assists this emerging state-of-the-art body on diversity research with the first empirical study that analyzes how developers’ perceptible race and ethnicity relates to the evaluation of the contributions in OSS. We also want to create awareness of the racial and ethnic diversity in OSS projects. Methodology: We performed a large-scale quantitative study of OSS projects in GitHub. We extracted the developers’ perceptible race and ethnicity from their names in GitHub using the Name-Prism tool and applied regression modeling of contributions (i.e, pull requests) data from GHTorrent and GitHub. Results: We observed that (1) among the developers whose perceptible race and ethnicity was captured by the tool, only 16.56 percent were perceptible as Non-White developers; (2) contributions from perceptible White developers have about 6–10 percent higher odds of being accepted when compared to contributions from perceptible Non-White developers; and (3) submitters with perceptible non-white races and ethnicities are more likely to get their pull requests accepted when the integrator is estimated to be from their same race and ethnicity rather than when the integrator is estimated to be White. Conclusion: Our initial analysis shows a low number of Non-White developers participating in OSS. Furthermore, the results from our regression analysis lead us to believe that there may exist differences between the evaluation of the contributions from different perceptible races and ethnicities. Thus, our findings reinforce the need for further studies on racial and ethnic diversity in software engineering to foster healthier OSS communities.},

Economics often pictures this phenomenon as a case of signalling: individuals engage in the volunteer programming of open-source software (OSS) as a labour-market signal resulting in a wage premium. Yet, this explanation could so far not be empirically tested. This article fills this gap by estimating an upper-bound composite wage premium of voluntary OSS contributions and by separating the potential signalling effect of OSS engagement from other effects. Although some 70\% of OSS contributors believe that OSS involvement benefits their careers, we find no actual labour-market premium for OSS engagement. The presence of other motives, such as fun of play or altruism, renders OSS contributions too noisy to function as a signal.},

Nevertheless, a significant percentage of the applications being developed explicitly ignore current best practices. Here, the authors describe a portable, low-cost usability lab targeted at in-house developers, stakeholders, and other interested parties. With it, they aim to empower and encourage development teams across organizations to perform small-scale, routine usability testing. A usability lab is, in essence, an observation platform for learning from the interaction between a participant and an application. Their experience shows that setting up an observation platform with enough quality for usability testing can be done with relative ease, without licensing fees or special platform requirements. If you want to get developers onboard, don't theorize but rather show them the code: Get familiar with their jargon, understand their tools and processes.},

Our analysis draws on a large sample of projects registered at Sourceforge.net, the world's largest incubator of open source software activity. We test the hypothesis that skill variety of participants is associated with project performance. We also explore whether the level of modularization of project activities is correlated with performance. Our econometric estimations show that skill heterogeneity is associated with project survival and performance. However, the relationship between skill diversity and performance is non-monotonic. Design modularity is also positively associated with the performance of the project. Finally, the interaction between skill heterogeneity and modularity is negatively associated with performance.

abstract = {Many software products are available free of charge. While the benefits resulting from network externality have been examined in the related literature, the effect of free offer on the diffusion of new software has not been formally analyzed. We show in this study that even if other benefits do not exist, a software firm can still benefit from giving away fully functioning software. This is due to the accelerated diffusion process and subsequently the increased net present value of future sales. By adapting the Bass diffusion model to capture the impact of free software offer, we provide a methodology to determine the optimal number of free adopters. We show that the optimal free offer solution depends on the discount rate, the length of the demand window, and the ratio of low-valuation to high-valuation free adopters. Our methodology is shown to be applicable for both fixed and dynamic pricing strategies. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

abstract = {Much research on open source software development concentrates on developer lists and other software repositories to investigate what motivates professional software developers to participate in open source software projects. Little attention has been paid to individuals who spend valuable time in lists helping participants on some mundane yet vital project activities. Using three Debian lists as a case study we investigate the impact of knowledge brokers and their associated activities in open source projects. Social network analysis was used to visualize how participants are affiliated with the lists. The network topology reveals substantial community participation. The consequence of collaborating in mundane activities for the success of open source software projects is discussed. The direct beneficiaries of this research are in the identification of knowledge experts in open source software projects. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]},

OSS is an important form of digital infrastructure and part of a career path for many developers. While there exists a growing body of literature on cisgender women's under-representation in OSS, the experiences of contributors from other marginalized groups are comparatively absent from the literature. Such is the case for trans contributors, a historically influential group in OSS. In this study, we interviewed 21 trans participants to understand and represent their experiences in the OSS literature. From their experiences, we theorize two related paradoxes of openness in OSS: the paradox of openness and display and the paradox of openness and governance. In an increasingly violent world for trans people, we draw on our theorizing to build recommendations for more inclusive and safer OSS projects for contributors.},

abstract = {Open source software (OSS) has been playing a fundamental role in not only information technology but also our social lives. Attracted by various advantages of OSS, increasing commercial companies are participating extensively in open source development, and this has had a broad impact. Enormous research efforts have been devoted to understanding this phenomenon and trying to pursue a win-win result. To characterize the current research achievement and identify challenges, this article provides a comprehensive systematic literature review (SLR) of existing research on company participation in OSS. We collected 105 papers and organized them based on their research topics, which cover three main directions, i.e., participation motivation, contribution model, and impact on OSS development. We found that companies have diverse motivations from economic, technological, and social aspects, and no one study covered all the motivation categories. Existing studies categorize five main companies’ contribution models in OSS projects through their objectives and how they shape OSS communities. Researchers also explored how commercial participation affects OSS development, including companies, developers, and OSS projects. This study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of commercial participation in OSS development. Based on our findings, we present a set of research challenges and promising directions for companies’ better participation in OSS.},

abstract = {In Open Source Software, resources of any project are open for reuse by introducing dependencies or copying the resource itself. In contrast to dependency-based reuse, the infrastructure to systematically support copy-based reuse appears to be entirely missing. Our aim is to enable future research and tool development to increase efficiency and reduce the risks of copy-based reuse. We seek a better understanding of such reuse by measuring its prevalence and identifying factors affecting the propensity to reuse. To identify reused artifacts and trace their origins, our method exploits World of Code infrastructure. We begin with a set of theory-derived factors related to the propensity to reuse, sample instances of different reuse types, and survey developers to better understand their intentions. Our results indicate that copy-based reuse is common, with many developers being aware of it when writing code. The propensity for a file to be reused varies greatly among languages and between source code and binary files, consistently decreasing over time. Files introduced by popular projects are more likely to be reused, but at least half of reused resources originate from “small” and “medium” projects. Developers had various reasons for reuse but were generally positive about using a package manager.},

abstract = {Usability is a crucial factor but one of the most neglected concerns in open source software (OSS). While far from an ideal approach, a common practice that OSS communities adopt to collaboratively address usability is through discussions on issue tracking systems (ITSs). However, there is little knowledge about the extent to which OSS community members engage in usability issue discussions, the aspects of usability they frequently target, and the characteristics of their collaboration around usability issue discussions. This knowledge is important for providing practical recommendations and research directions to better support OSS communities in addressing this important topic and improve OSS usability in general. To help achieve this goal, we performed an extensive empirical study on issues discussed in five popular OSS applications: three data science notebook projects (Jupyter Lab, Google Colab, and CoCalc) and two code editor projects (VSCode and Atom). Our results indicated that while usability issues are extensively discussed in the OSS projects, their scope tended to be limited to efficiency and aesthetics. Additionally, these issues are more frequently posted by experienced community members and display distinguishable characteristics, such as involving more visual communication and more participants. Our results provide important implications that can inform the OSS practitioners to better engage the community in usability issue discussion and shed light on future research efforts toward collaboration techniques and tools for discussing niche topics in diverse communities, such as the usability issues in the OSS context.},

abstract = {Open source software ecosystems consist of thousands of interdependent libraries, which users can combine to great effect. Recent work has pointed out two kinds of risks in these systems: that technical problems like bugs and vulnerabilities can spread through dependency links, and that relatively few developers are responsible for maintaining even the most widely used libraries. However, a more holistic diagnosis of systemic risk in software ecosystem should consider how these social and technical sources of risk interact and amplify one another. Motivated by the observation that the same individuals maintain several libraries within dependency networks, we present a methodological framework to measure risk in software ecosystems as a function of both dependencies and developers. In our models, a library’s chance of failure increases as its developers leave and as its upstream dependencies fail. We apply our method to data from the Rust ecosystem, highlighting several systemically important libraries that are overlooked when only considering technical dependencies. We compare potential interventions, seeking better ways to deploy limited developer resources with a view to improving overall ecosystem health and software supply chain resilience.},

abstract = {Despite the absence of a formal process and a central command-and-control structure, developer organization in open-source software (OSS) projects are far from being a purely random process. Prior work indicates that, over time, highly successful OSS projects develop a hybrid organizational structure that comprises a hierarchical part and a non-hierarchical part. This suggests that hierarchical organization is not necessarily a global organizing principle and that a fundamentally different principle is at play below the lowest positions in the hierarchy. Given the vast proportion of developers are in the non-hierarchical part, we seek to understand the interplay between these two fundamentally differently organized groups, how this hybrid structure evolves, and the trajectory individual developers take through these structures over the course of their participation. We conducted a longitudinal study of the full histories of 20 popular OSS projects, modeling their organizational structures as networks of developers connected by communication ties and characterizing developers’ positions in terms of hierarchical (sub)structures in these networks. We observed a number of notable trends and patterns in the subject projects: (1) hierarchy is a pervasive structural feature of developer networks of OSS projects; (2) OSS projects tend to form hybrid organizational structures, consisting of a hierarchical and a non-hierarchical part; and (3) the positional trajectory of a developer starts loosely connected in the non-hierarchical part and then tightly integrate into the hierarchical part, which is associated with the acquisition of experience (tenure), in addition to coordination and coding activities. Our study (a) provides a methodological basis for further investigations of hierarchy formation, (b) suggests a number of hypotheses on prevalent organizational patterns and trends in OSS projects to be addressed in further work, and (c) may ultimately guide the governance of organizational structures.},

abstract = {Sustainable Open Source Software (OSS) forms much of the fabric of our digital society, especially successful and sustainable ones. But many OSS projects do not become sustainable, resulting in abandonment and even risks for the world's digital infrastructure. Prior work has looked at the reasons for this mainly from two very different perspectives. In software engineering, the focus has been on understanding success and sustainability from the socio-technical perspective: the OSS programmers' day-to-day activities and the artifacts they create. In institutional analysis, on the other hand, emphasis has been on institutional designs (e.g., policies, rules, and norms) that structure project governance. Even though each is necessary for a comprehensive understanding of OSS projects, the connection and interaction between the two approaches have been barely explored.In this paper, we make the first effort toward understanding OSS project sustainability using a dual-view analysis, by combining institutional analysis with socio-technical systems analysis. In particular, we (i) use linguistic approaches to extract institutional rules and norms from OSS contributors' communications to represent the evolution of their governance systems, and (ii) construct socio-technical networks based on longitudinal collaboration records to represent each project's organizational structure. We combined the two methods and applied them to a dataset of developer digital traces from 253 nascent OSS projects within the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) incubator. We find that the socio-technical and institutional features relate to each other, and provide complimentary views into the progress of the ASF's OSS projects. Refining these combined analyses can help provide a more precise understanding of the synchronization between the evolution of institutional governance and organizational structure.},

abstract = {Women are underrepresented in Open Source Software (OSS) projects, as a result of which, not only do women lose career and skill development opportunities, but the projects themselves suffer from a lack of diversity of perspectives. Practitioners and researchers need to understand more about the phenomenon; however, studies about women in open source are spread across multiple fields, including information systems, software engineering, and social science. This article systematically maps, aggregates, and synthesizes the state-of-the-art on women’s participation in OSS. It focuses on women contributors’ representation and demographics, how they contribute, their motivations and challenges, and strategies employed by communities to attract and retain women. We identified 51 articles (published between 2000 and 2021) that investigated women’s participation in OSS. We found evidence in these papers about who are the women who contribute, what motivates them to contribute, what types of contributions they make, challenges they face, and strategies proposed to support their participation. According to these studies, only about 5% of projects were reported to have women as core developers, and women authored less than 5% of pull-requests, but had similar or even higher rates of pull-request acceptances than men. Women make both code and non-code contributions, and their motivations to contribute include learning new skills, altruism, reciprocity, and kinship. Challenges that women face in OSS are mainly social, including lack of peer parity and non-inclusive communication from a toxic culture. We found 10 strategies reported in the literature, which we mapped to the reported challenges. Based on these results, we provide guidelines for future research and practice.},

The code of conduct, a set of rules articulating standard behavior and responsibilities for participation within a community, is becoming an increasingly common policy document in open source software projects for setting project norms of behavior and discouraging negative or harassing comments and conversation. This study describes the conversations around adopting and crafting a code of conduct as well as those utilizing code of conduct for community governance. We conduct a qualitative analysis of a random sample of GitHub issues that involve the code of conduct. We find that codes of conduct are used both proactively and reactively to govern community behavior in project issues. Oftentimes, the initial addition of a code of conduct does not involve much community participation and input. However, a controversial moderation act is capable of inciting mass community feedback and backlash. Project maintainers balance the tension between disciplining potentially offensive forms of speech and encouraging broad and inclusive participation. These results have implications for the design of inclusive and effective governance practices for open source software communities.},

abstract = {Many open-source software projects depend on a few core developers, who take over both the bulk of coordination and programming tasks. They are supported by peripheral developers, who contribute either via discussions or programming tasks, often for a limited time. It is unclear what role these peripheral developers play in the programming and communication efforts, as well as the temporary task-related sub-groups in the projects. We mine code-repository data and mailing-list discussions to model the relationships and contributions of developers in a social network and devise a method to analyze the temporal collaboration structures in communication and programming, learning about the strength and stability of social sub-groups in open-source software projects. Our method uses multi-modal social networks on a series of time windows. Previous work has reduced the network structure representing developer collaboration to networks with only one type of interaction, which impedes the simultaneous analysis of more than one type of interaction. We use both communication and version-control data of open-source software projects and model different types of interaction over time. To demonstrate the practicability of our measurement and analysis method, we investigate 10 substantial and popular open-source software projects and show that, if sub-groups evolve, modeling these sub-groups helps predict the future evolution of interaction levels of programmers and groups of developers. Our method allows maintainers and other stakeholders of open-source software projects to assess instabilities and organizational changes in developer interaction and can be applied to different use cases in organizational analysis, such as understanding the dynamics of a specific incident or discussion.},

abstract = {Free and/or open-source software (or F/OSS) projects now play a major and dominant role in society, constituting critical digital infrastructure relied upon by companies, academics, non-profits, activists, and more. As F/OSS has become larger and more established, we investigate the labor of maintaining and sustaining those projects at various scales. We report findings from an interview-based study with contributors and maintainers working in a wide range of F/OSS projects. Maintainers of F/OSS projects do not just maintain software code in a more traditional software engineering understanding of the term: fixing bugs, patching security vulnerabilities, and updating dependencies. F/OSS maintainers also perform complex and often-invisible interpersonal and organizational work to keep their projects operating as active communities of users and contributors. We particularly focus on how this labor of maintaining and sustaining changes as projects and their software grow and scale across many dimensions. In understanding F/OSS to be as much about maintaining a communal project as it is maintaining software code, we discuss broadly applicable considerations for peer production communities and other socio-technical systems more broadly.},

We identified several challenges caused by bots in pull request interactions by interviewing 21 practitioners, including project maintainers, contributors, and bot developers. In particular, our findings indicate noise as a recurrent and central problem. Noise affects both human communication and development workflow by overwhelming and distracting developers. Our main contribution is a theory of how human developers perceive annoying bot behaviors as noise on social coding platforms. This contribution may help practitioners understand the effects of adopting a bot, and researchers and tool designers may leverage our results to better support human-bot interaction on social coding platforms.},

abstract = {Global software engineering (GSE) courses traditionally require cooperation between at least two universities so as to provide a distributed development environment to the students. In this study, we explore an alternative way to organize a global software engineering course where students work on open source software development (OSSD) projects rather than in a multi-university collaboration setting. The results show that the new setup may provide core GSE challenges as well as challenges associated with software development outsourcing and challenges related to working on large open source software. The present article compares the experiences gained from running a combined GSE and OSSD course against the experiences gained from running a traditional GSE course. The two alternatives are compared in terms of students’ learning outcomes and course organization. The authors found that a combined GSE and OSSD course provides learning opportunities that are partly overlapping with, and partly complementary to, a traditional GSE course. The authors also found that the combined OSSD and GSE course was somewhat easier to organize because most of the activities took place in a single university setting. The authors used the extended GSE taxonomy for the comparison and found it to be a useful tool for this, although it had some limitations in expressive power. Therefore, two additional relationship dimensions are proposed that will further enrich the extended taxonomy in classifying GSE (and OSSD) projects.},

The techniques for performing inspections have been well studied in industry; in OSS development, software peer reviews are not as well understood.To develop an empirical understanding of OSS peer review, we examine the review policies of 25 OSS projects and study the archival records of six large, mature, successful OSS projects. We extract a series of measures based on those used in traditional inspection experiments. We measure the frequency of review, the size of the contribution under review, the level of participation during review, the experience and expertise of the individuals involved in the review, the review interval, and the number of issues discussed during review. We create statistical models of the review efficiency, review interval, and effectiveness, the issues discussed during review, to determine which measures have the largest impact on review efficacy.We find that OSS peer reviews are conducted asynchronously by empowered experts who focus on changes that are in their area of expertise. Reviewers provide timely, regular feedback on small changes. The descriptive statistics clearly show that OSS review is drastically different from traditional inspection.},

Stability of software is one of the main features in software quality management that needs to be understood and accurately predicted. It deals with the impact resulting from software changes and argues that stable components lead to a cost-effective software evolution. Changes are most common phenomena present in OSS in comparison to proprietary software. This makes OSS system evolution a rich context to study and predict stability. Our objective in this work is to build stability prediction models that are not only accurate but also interpretable, that is, able to explain the link between the architectural aspects of a software component and its stability behavior in the context of OSS. Therefore, we propose a new approach based on classifiers combination capable of preserving prediction interpretability. Our approach is classifier-structure dependent. Therefore, we propose a particular solution for combining Bayesian classifiers in order to derive a more accurate composite classifier that preserves interpretability. This solution is implemented using a genetic algorithm and applied in the context of an OSS large-scale system, namely the standard Java API. The empirical results show that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art approaches from both machine learning and software engineering.},

Such systems save a great deal of effort over ad hoc ways of advertising, packaging, and transmitting useful libraries, but coordination among project teams is still needed when one package makes a breaking change affecting other packages. Ecosystems differ in their approaches to breaking changes, and there is no general theory to explain the relationships between features, behavioral norms, ecosystem outcomes, and motivating values. We address this through two empirical studies. In an interview case study, we contrast Eclipse, NPM, and CRAN, demonstrating that these different norms for coordination of breaking changes shift the costs of using and maintaining the software among stakeholders, appropriate to each ecosystem’s mission. In a second study, we combine a survey, repository mining, and document analysis to broaden and systematize these observations across 18 ecosystems. We find that all ecosystems share values such as stability and compatibility, but differ in other values. Ecosystems’ practices often support their espoused values, but in surprisingly diverse ways. The data provides counterevidence against easy generalizations about why ecosystem communities do what they do.},

One way this problem can be mitigated is by growing student-oriented open source projects within academia while still involving real world clients. One such project, called Homebase, involved a team of students working with a local Ronald McDonald House to develop volunteer scheduling software. In true open source fashion, this project has since been extended over a number of course iterations, with different clients, and has been adopted at other schools. In this paper, we report on our experiences using this approach for similar projects at three quite different schools, and discuss ways to adapt and enhance this approach for differing student populations.},

abstract = {Unlike in commercial software development, open source software (OSS) projects do not generally have managers with direct control over how developers spend their time, yet for projects with large, diverse sets of contributors, the need exists to focus and steer development in a particular direction in a coordinated way. This is especially important for "infrastructure" projects, such as critical libraries and programming languages that many other people depend on. Some projects have taken the approach of borrowing planning tools that originated in commercial development, despite the fact that these techniques were designed for very different contexts, e.g. strong top-down control and profit motives. Little research has been done to understand how these practices are adapted to a new context. In this paper, we examine the Rust project's use of roadmaps: how has an important OSS infrastructure project adapted an inherently top-down tool to the freewheeling world of OSS? We find that because Rust's roadmaps are built in part by summarizing what motivated developers most prefer to work on, they are in some ways more a description of the motivated labor available than they are a directive that the community move in a particular direction. They allow the community to avoid wasting time on unpopular proposals by revealing that there will be little help in building them, and encouraging work on popular features by making visible the amount of consensus in those features. Roadmaps generate a collective focus without limiting the full scope of what developers work on: roadmap issues consume proportionally more effort than other issues, but constitute a minority of the work done (i.e issues and pull requests made) by both central and peripheral participants. They also create transparency among and beyond the community into what central contributors' plans are, and allow more rational decision-making by providing a way for evidence about community needs to be linked to decision-making.},

abstract = {For today's computer professionals, secure data storage and secure data communications are vital competencies. In the current Internet aware environment, effective security necessitates the application of cryptology. Daily, modern businesses rely on cryptographic services such as authentication, non-repudiation, integrity, and confidentiality, to secure their information. Creating relevant applied cryptology laboratory modules can be a challenge. One interesting challenge is the choice of laboratory software. By design, most commercial cryptology software shields the user from operational details. Consequently, most commercial software does not lend itself well to laboratory activities. Fortunately, there are Open Source Cryptographic Toolkits that have worked well in our lab environment. This paper presents the author's experience with the development and evolution of applied cryptography laboratory modules. These laboratory modules utilize Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) exclusively.},

abstract = {Developing "hand on" information security lab activities often requires a substantial budget and resource commitment. In addition to an appropriate software budget, activities such as installing security software, setting up user accounts, and configuring lab systems can require significant time and labor resources. In a conventional environment, it may also require a dedicated computer lab for each security class. In a given educational environment, obtaining these resources may be problematic.To mitigate these problems, we developed a "hand on" security design process that utilizes Live CDs and Open Source tools. By definition, a Live CD is a bootable CD that contains a complete operating system. Many Live CDs also include useful security utilities. In our security classes, we have utilized both general purpose Live CDs, such as Knoppix, and dedicated security centric Live CDs, such as Auditor. [8] In addition to being self configuring, Live CDs may also be remastered to accommodate additional security tools and related information.This paper presents an overview of our experiences developing "hands on" security activities with Live CD and Open Source components. Our "hands on" activities were developed to support our four course security specialization. To provide a context for this, we first present a brief overview of the security specialization.},

abstract = {Requirements identification is a human-centric activity that involves interaction among multiple stakeholders. Traditional requirements engineering (RE) techniques addressing stakeholders’ social interaction are mainly part of a centralized process intertwined with a specific phase of software development. However, in open-source software (OSS) development, stakeholders’ social interactions are often decentralized, iterative, and dynamic. Little is known about new requirements identification in OSS and the stakeholders’ organizational arrangements supporting such an activity. In this article, we investigate the theory of structural hole from the context of contributing new requirements in OSS projects. Structural hole theory suggests that stakeholders positioned in the structural holes in their social network are able to produce new ideas. In this study, we find that structural hole positions emerge in stakeholders’ social network and these positions are positively related to contributing a higher number of new requirements. We find that along with structural hole positions, stakeholders’ role is also an important part in identifying new requirements. We further observe that structural hole positions evolve over time, thereby identifying requirements to realize enriched features. Our work advances the fundamental understanding of the RE process in a decentralized environment and opens avenues for improved techniques supporting this process.},

However, the security communities realize some limitations when they put most existing proposals into practice. The challenges are mainly concerned with (i) fine-grained unknown attack detection and (ii) ever-changing legitimate traffic adaptation. To tackle these problem, we present three key design norms. The core idea is to construct a model to split the data distribution hyperplane and leverage the concept of isolation, as well as advance the incremental model update. We utilize the isolation tree as the backbone to design our model, named FOSS, to echo back three norms. By analyzing the popular dataset of network intrusion traces, we show that FOSS significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods. Further, we perform an initial deployment of FOSS by working with the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to detect distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. With real-world tests and manual analysis, we demonstrate the effectiveness of FOSS to identify previously-unseen attacks in a fine-grained manner.},

abstract = {Over the past two decades, deep learning has received tremendous success in developing software systems across various domains. Deep learning frameworks have been proposed to facilitate the development of such software systems, among which, PyTorch and TensorFlow stand out as notable examples. Considerable attention focuses on exploring software engineering practices and addressing diverse technical aspects in developing and deploying deep learning frameworks and software systems. Despite these efforts, little is known about the open source software communities involved in the development of deep learning frameworks.In this article, we perform a comparative investigation into the open source software communities of the two representative deep learning frameworks, PyTorch and TensorFlow. To facilitate the investigation, we compile a dataset of 2,792 and 3,288 code commit authors, along with 9,826 and 19,750 participants engaged in issue events on GitHub, from the two communities, respectively. With the dataset, we first characterize the structures of the two communities by employing four operationalizations to classify contributors into various roles and inspect the contributions made by common contributors across the two communities. We then conduct a longitudinal analysis to characterize the evolution of the two communities across various releases, in terms of the numbers of contributors with various roles and role transitions among contributors. Finally, we explore the causal effects between community characteristics and the popularity of the two frameworks.We find that the TensorFlow community harbors a larger base of contributors, encompassing a higher proportion of core developers and a more extensive cohort of active users compared to the PyTorch community. In terms of the technical background of the developers, 64.4% and 56.1% developers in the PyTorch and TensorFlow communities are employed by the leading companies of the corresponding open source software projects, Meta and Google, respectively; 25.9% and 21.9% core developers in the PyTorch and TensorFlow communities possess Ph.D. degrees, while 77.2% and 77.7% contribute to other machine learning or deep learning open source projects, respectively. Developers contributing to both communities demonstrate spatial and temporal similarities to some extent in their pull requests across the respective projects. The evolution of contributors with various roles exhibits a consistent upward trend over time in the PyTorch community. Conversely, a noticeable turning point in the growth of contributors characterizes the evolution of the TensorFlow community. Both communities show a statistically significant decreasing trend in the inflow rates of core developers. Furthermore, we observe statistically significant causal effects between the expansion of communities and retention of core developers and the popularity of deep learning frameworks. Based on our findings, we discuss implications, provide recommendations for sustaining open source software communities of deep learning frameworks, and outline directions for future research.},

abstract = {Participation by product users is critical to success in free, open-source software (FOSS) software communities as they originate and develop valuable ideas for product innovation that are unlikely to originate from the core software development community. Users tend to be involved at the periphery of FOSS communities, suggesting new product ideas, highlighting problems with user documentation, or explaining when the product design fails to fit with the needs of their local user application domain. As an increasing number of FOSS projects employ a hybrid participation model that combines volunteer effort with paid software development effort or product support, it can be difficult for non-developer users to participate in product innovation. In colocated organizations, it is theorized that peripheral participants learn how to engage with the practices and cultural identity of a community through a sociocultural apprenticeship known as legitimate peripheral participation. But we have little literature that explores how legitimate peripheral participation is enabled in online communities.The research study presented in this article explores how participation by peripheral users in a hybrid FOSS project is afforded by participation architecture channels and community mechanisms that mediate two forms of engagement: a “cognitive apprenticeship” that introduces participants to situated domain activity, such as the community processes involved in product innovation, and a “social apprenticeship” by which participants become enculturated in the system of meanings, values, norms, and behaviors that govern community/participant identity. We identified five stages of community innovation, analyzing sociotechnical affordances of the online participation architecture that enable peripheral participants to internalize the meanings of community practice and to develop a social identity within the FOSS community. Our contribution to theory is provided by the substantive explanation of the cognitive and social translations that enable legitimate peripheral participation in online communities, mediated by sociotechnical access channels and mechanisms that afford two contrasting forms of opportunities for action: those resulting from interactions between a goal-oriented actor and the technology platform features or channels of participation, and those associated with the social structures, roles, and relationships underpinning community interactions. Neither of these is sufficient without the other. Our contribution to practice is provided by an explanation of how four distinct categories of affordance provide these cognitive and social apprenticeship benefits, allowing participation architecture designers to cater to all forms of peripheral user participation. We conclude that the technical affordances of a typical FOSS community participation architecture are insufficient to mediate peripheral participation by nontechnical users. Meaningful participation is mediated by interactions between boundary spanners who play knowledge-brokering and organizational bridging roles. The combination of technical and social affordances enables peripheral participants to acquire an interior view of community practices and social culture and in turn to introduce new ideas, new values, and new rationales to produce a generative dance of innovation that percolates through the community.},

abstract = {Many computer science programs have capstone experiences or project courses that allow students to integrate knowledge from the full breadth of their major. Such capstone projects may be student-designed, instructor-designed, designed in conjunction with outside companies, or integrated with ongoing free and open source (FOSS) projects. The literature shows that the FOSS approach has attracted a great deal of interest, in particular when implemented with projects that have humanitarian goals (HFOSS). In this article, we describe five unique models from five distinct types of institutions for incorporating sustained FOSS or HFOSS (alternatively H/FOSS) project work into capstone experiences or courses. The goal is to provide instructors wishing to integrate open source experiences into their curriculum with additional perspectives and resources to help in adapting this approach to the specific needs and goals of their institution and students. All of the models presented are based on sustained engagement with H/FOSS projects that last at least one semester and often more. Each model is described in terms of its characteristics and how it fits the needs of the institution using the model. Assessment of each model is also presented. We then discuss the themes that are common across the models, such as project selection, team formation, mentoring, and student assessment. We examine the choices made by each model, as well as the challenges faced. We end with a discussion how the models have leveraged institutional initiatives and collaborations with outside organizations to address some of the challenges associated with these projects.},

abstract = {Over the past decade, Open Source Software (OSS) has experienced rapid growth and widespread adoption, attributed to its openness and editability. However, this expansion has also brought significant security challenges, particularly introducing and propagating software vulnerabilities. Despite the use of machine learning and formal methods to tackle these issues, there remains a notable gap in comprehensive surveys that summarize and analyze both Vulnerability Detection (VD) and Security Patch Detection (SPD) in OSS. This article seeks to bridge this gap through an extensive survey that evaluates 127 technical studies published between 2014 and 2023, structured around the Vulnerability-Patch lifecycle. We begin by delineating the six critical events that constitute the Vulnerability-Patch lifecycle, leading to an in-depth exploration of the Vulnerability-Patch ecosystem. We then systematically review the databases commonly used in VD and SPD, and analyze their characteristics. Subsequently, we examine existing VD methods, focusing on traditional and deep learning based approaches. Additionally, we organize current security patch identification methods by kernel type and discuss techniques for detecting the presence of security patches. Based on our comprehensive review, we identify open research questions and propose future research directions that merit further exploration.},

abstract = {Open source communities hosted in large foundations operate in a complex socio-technical ecosystem, which includes a heterogeneous mix of projects and stakeholders. Previous work has thus far investigated the challenges faced in OSS communities from the point of view of specific stakeholders, primarily at the level of individual projects. None have yet studied the challenges faced within a large, federated open source organization. In this paper, we aim to bridge this gap to identify ongoing challenges contributors face in a mature OSS organization. To do so, we surveyed 624 contributors at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and ran 11 semi-structured follow up interviews. We validated our findings through member checking with the interviewees as well as the ASF Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) committee. The contributions of this paper include: (1) an empirically-evidenced conceptual model of the 88 challenges that contributors face in a mature OSS foundation and (2) a set of 48 community-recommended strategies for alleviating these challenges. Our results show that even well-established and mature organizations still face a variety of individual and project-specific challenges and that it is difficult to design a comprehensive set of processes and guidelines to match the needs and expectations of a diverse and large federated community. Our conceptual challenges model and associated strategies to mitigate them can provide guidance to other OSS foundations and projects helping them in building better support processes and tools to create a successful, thriving community of contributors.},

abstract = {Many faculty members (and students) desire to know more about free & open source software (FOSS) development and its tools and practices. This workshop introduces participants to collaboration tools & techniques used in FOSS. In particular, we will focus on task tracking systems and version control systems, which are unfamiliar to many faculty and students. To help participants understand what these tools do and how to use them, we will use process oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) activities. In POGIL, learners work in groups of 3 or 4 in guided activities that are structured to help them construct new knowledge. In the two hands-on activities, teams will work through a series of increasingly sophisticated models. In each model, teams will use tools, answer questions, explore options, and report out their findings and lessons learned. We particularly welcome students, who should enjoy the activities and could help faculty observe the strengths and limitations of the tools and activities. Participants will receive copies of all activities, presentation slides, and other materials, and an annotated bibliography on FOSS, POGIL, and related topics.},

abstract = {Software development effort estimation (SDEE) generally involves leveraging the information about the effort spent in developing similar software in the past. Most organizations do not have access to sufficient and reliable forms of such data from past projects. As such, the existing SDEE methods suffer from low usage and accuracy.We propose an efficient SDEE method for open source software, which provides accurate and fast effort estimates. The significant contributions of our article are (i) novel SDEE software metrics derived from developer activity information of various software repositories, (ii) an SDEE dataset comprising the SDEE metrics’ values derived from approximately 13,000 GitHub repositories from 150 different software categories, and (iii) an effort estimation tool based on SDEE metrics and a software description similarity model. Our software description similarity model is basically a machine learning model trained using the PVA on the software product descriptions of GitHub repositories. Given the software description of a newly envisioned software, our tool yields an effort estimate for developing it.Our method achieves the highest standardized accuracy score of 87.26% (with Cliff’s δ = 0.88 at 99.999% confidence level) and 42.7% with the automatically transformed linear baseline model.

abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) development is a collaborative endeavor where expert developers, distributed around the globe create software solutions. Given this characteristic, OSS communities have been studied as technical communities, where stakeholders join and evolve in their careers based on their (often voluntary) code contributions to the project. However, the OSS landscape is slowly changing with more people and companies getting involved in OSS. This means that projects now need people in non-technical roles and activities to keep the project sustainable and evolving. In this paper, we focus on understanding the roles and activities that are part of the current OSS landscape and the different career pathways in OSS. By conducting and analyzing 17 interviews with OSS contributors who are well known in the community, we provide empirical evidence of the existence and importance of community-centric roles (e.g advocate, license manager, community founder) in addition to the well-known project-centric ones (e.g maintainer, core member). However, the community-centric roles typically remain hidden, since these roles may not leave traces in software repositories typically analyzed by researchers. We found that people can build a career in OSS through different roles and activities, with different backgrounds, including those not related to writing software. Furthermore, people's career pathways are fluid, moving between project and community-centric roles. Our work highlights that communities and researchers need to take action to acknowledge the importance of these varied roles, making these roles visible and well-recognized, which can ultimately help attract and retain more people in the OSS projects.},

abstract = {Motivation: Open-source projects are often supported by companies, but such involvement often affects the robust contributor inflow needed to sustain the project and sometimes prompts key contributors to leave. To capture user innovation and to maintain quality of software and productivity of teams, these projects need to attract and retain contributors. Aim: We want to understand and quantify how inflow and retention are shaped by policies and actions of companies in three application server projects. Method: We identified three hybrid projects implementing the same JavaEE specification and used published literature, online materials, and interviews to quantify actions and policies companies used to get involved. We collected project repository data, analyzed affiliation history of project participants, and used generalized linear models and survival analysis to measure contributor inflow and retention. Results: We identified coherent groups of policies and actions undertaken by sponsoring companies as three models of community involvement and quantified tradeoffs between the inflow and retention each model provides. We found that full control mechanisms and high intensity of commercial involvement were associated with a decrease of external inflow and with improved retention. However, a shared control mechanism was associated with increased external inflow contemporaneously with the increase of commercial involvement. Implications: Inspired by a natural experiment, our methods enabled us to quantify aspects of the balance between community and private interests in open- source software projects and provide clear implications for the structure of future open-source communities.},

abstract = {In the process of developing software, code review is crucial. By identifying problems before they arise in production, it enhances the quality of the code. Finding the best reviewer for a code change, however, is extremely challenging especially in large scale, especially open source software stacks with cross functioning designs and collaborations among multiple developers and teams. Additionally, a review by someone who lacks knowledge and understanding of the code can result in high resource consumption and technical errors. The reviewers who have the specialty in both functioning (domain knowledge) and non-functioning areas of a commit are considered as the most qualified reviewer to look over any changes to the code. Quality attributes serve as the connection among the user requirements, delivered function description, software architecture and implementation through put the entire software stack cycle. In this study, we target on auto reviewer assignment in large scale software stacks and aim to build a self-learning, and self-correct platform for intelligently matching between a commit based on its quality attributes and the skills sets of reviewers. To achieve this, quality attributes are classified and abstracted from the commit messages and based on which, the commits are assigned to the reviewers with the capability in reviewing the target commits. We first designed machine learning schemes for abstracting quality attributes based on historical data from the OpenStack repository. Two models are built and trained for automating the classification of the commits based on their quality attributes using the manual labeling of commits and multi-class classifiers. We then positioned the reviewers based on their historical data and the quality attributes characteristics. Finally we selected the recommended reviewer based on the distance between a commit and candidate reviewers. In this paper, we demonstrate how the models can choose the best quality attributes and assign the code review to the most qualified reviewers. With a comparatively small training dataset, the models are able to achieve F-1 scores of 77% and 85.31%, respectively.},

abstract = {Open source software communities have demonstrated that they can produce high quality results. The overall success of peer code review, commonly used in open source projects, has likely contributed strongly to this success. Code review is an emotionally loaded practice, with public exposure of reputation and ample opportunities for conflict. We set off to ask why code review works for open source communities, despite this inherent challenge. We interviewed 21 open source contributors from four communities and participated in meetings of ROS community devoted to implementation of the code review process.It appears that the hacker ethic is a key reason behind the success of code review in FOSS communities. It is built around the ethic of passion and the ethic of caring. Furthermore, we observed that tasks of code review are performed with strong intrinsic motivation, supported by many non-material extrinsic motivation mechanisms, such as desire to learn, to grow reputation, or to improve one's positioning on the job market.In the paper, we describe the study design, analyze the collected data and formulate 20 proposals for how what we know about hacker ethics and human and social aspects of code review, could be exploited to improve the effectiveness of the practice in software projects.},

abstract = {OpenMP, a widely adopted standard for shared memory parallel programming, is known for its simplicity and portability, making it accessible to programmers across various domains, not just HPC experts. This study aims at providing an overview of the current practice of OpenMP usage in open source projects. We focus our study on the considerations necessary for efficient OpenMP usage, as parallelizing an application with OpenMP comes with a certain overhead necessary for thread creation and management.For this purpose, we developed a binary analysis tool that automatically estimates the complexity of a parallel region allowing a comparison with the complexity of thread creation and management overhead in bluk. We applied this tool on a large set of 537 open source applications. Specifically, we want to answer the question: “To what extent is the usage of OpenMP in general following known good practices from the HPC community?" In particular, we find that 45% of projects contain at least one example of a rather simple parallel region. In these cases, it is questionable whether parallelization is worth the overhead necessary for thread creation and management. We also observe from the codes analysed that the style of using OpenMP apparently did not change over the last decade.Our analysis tool is available on GitHub: .},

abstract = {Vulnerability reports play a crucial role in mitigating open-source software risks. Typically, the vulnerability report contains affected versions of a software. However, despite the validation by security expert who discovers and vendors who review, the affected versions are not always accurate. Especially, the complexity of maintaining its accuracy increases significantly when dealing with multiple versions and their differences. Several advances have been made to identify affected versions. However, they still face limitations. First, some existing approaches identify affected versions based on repository-hosting platforms (i.e., GitHub), but these versions are not always consistent with those in package registries (i.e., Maven). Second, existing approaches fail to distinguish the importance of different vulnerable methods and patched statements in face of vulnerabilities with multiple methods and change hunks.To address these problems, this paper proposes a novel approach, Vision, to accurately identify affected library versions (ALVs) for vulnerabilities. Vision uses library versions from the package registry as inputs. To distinguish the importance of vulnerable methods and patched statements, Vision performs critical method selection and critical statement selection to prioritize important changes and their context. Furthermore, the vulnerability signature is represented by weighted inter-procedural program dependency graphs that incorporate critical methods and statements. Vision determines ALVs based on the similarities between these weighted graphs. Our evaluation demonstrates that Vision outperforms state-of-the-art approaches, achieving a precision of 0.91 and a recall of 0.94. Additionally, our evaluation shows the practical usefulness of Vision in correcting affected versions in existing vulnerability databases.},

To accomplish that, we develop approaches to detect copy-based reuse by developing an efficient algorithm that exploits World of Code infrastructure: a curated and cross referenced collection of nearly all open source repositories.

We first conduct a case study to empirically understand the interdisciplinary team's collaboration in scientific OSS ecosystems and identify the collaboration challenges. Further, to generalize our findings, we plan to conduct a large-scale quantitative study in broader scientific OSS ecosystems to identify the cross-project collaboration inefficiencies.

abstract = {The Open Source Software movement has been growing exponentially for a number of years with no signs of slowing. Driving this growth is the wide-spread availability of libraries and frameworks that provide many functionalities. Developers are saving time and money incorporating this functionality into their applications resulting in faster more feature-rich releases. Despite the growing success and the advantages that open source software provides, there is a dark side. Due to its community construction and largely unregulated distribution, the majority of open source software contains bugs, vulnerabilities and other issues making it highly susceptible to exploits. The lack of oversight in general hinders the quality of this software resulting in a trickle down effect in the applications that use it. Additionally, developers who use open source tend to arbitrarily download the software into their build systems but rarely keep track of what they have downloaded resulting in an excessive amount of open source software in their applications and in their ecosystem. This paper discusses processes and practices that users of open source software can implement into their environments that can safely track and control the introduction and usage of open source software into their applications, and report on some preliminary results obtained in an industrial context. We conclude by discussing governance issues related to the disciplined use and reuse of open source and areas for further improvements.},

abstract = {Context: Architectural views serve as fundamental artefacts for designing and communicating software architectures. In the context of collaborative software development, producing sound architectural documentation, where architectural views play a central role, is a crucial aspect for effective teamwork. Despite their importance, the use of architectural views in open-source projects to date remains only marginally explored.Goal: We aim at conducting a comprehensive analysis on an extensive corpus of open-source architectural views. The goal is to understand (i) what the “history” of architectural views is, (ii) how architectural views are represented, and (iii) what architectural views are used for in the context of open-source projects.Methods: We leverage a software repository mining process to systematically construct a dataset of 15k architectural views. Then, we perform (i) a quantitative analysis on the metadata of all 15k views and (ii) a qualitative analysis on a statistically-relevant sample of 373 views.Results: Most projects rely on a single architectural view, which is often used to document a medium or high level description of the architecture. Views are usually created at either the beginning or at the end of a project, are rarely updated, and tend to be maintained by a single contributor. Views usually adopt an informal colored notation without a supporting legend and frequently report technologies used. Deployment and control flow are the most recurrent viewpoints, and commonly cover concerns related to software maintainability and functional suitability.Conclusion: The state of the practice about architectural views in open-source software systems seems to favor informal descriptions. Despite this, the effort needed to create views might hinder keeping views up to date, and a common syntactic ground between viewpoints seems hard to find. To address current needs, we speculate that a solution could lie in defining and popularizing versionable, templateable views that can be integrated in collaborative programming environments.},

In this paper, we explore how to measure trust in open source supply chains with the goal of developing robust measures for trust based on the behaviors of developers in the community. To this end, we contribute a process for decomposing trust in a complex large-scale system into key trust relationships, systematically identifying behavior-based indicators for the components of trust for a given relationship, and in turn operationalizing data-driven metrics for those indicators, allowing for the wide-scale measurement of trust in practice.},

abstract = {Open-source software (OSS) plays a vital role in the modern software ecosystem. However, the maintenance and sustainability of OSS projects can be challenging. In this paper, we present the CrOSSD project, which aims to build a database of OSS projects and measure their current project “health” status. In the project, we will use both quantitative and qualitative metrics to evaluate the health of OSS projects. The quantitative metrics will be gathered through automated crawling of meta information such as the number of contributors, commits and lines of code. Qualitative metrics will be gathered for selected “critical” projects through manual analysis and automated tools, including aspects such as sustainability, funding, community engagement and adherence to security policies. The results of the analysis will be presented on a user-friendly web platform, which will allow users to view the health of individual OSS projects as well as the overall health of the OSS ecosystem. With this approach, the CrOSSD project provides a comprehensive and up-to-date view of the health of OSS projects, making it easier for developers, maintainers and other stakeholders to understand the health of OSS projects and make informed decisions about their use and maintenance.},

abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) is forming the spines of technology infrastructures, attracting millions of talents to contribute. Notably, it is challenging and critical to consider both the developers’ interests and the semantic features of the project code to recommend appropriate development tasks to OSS developers. In this paper, we formulate the novel problem of code recommendation, whose purpose is to predict the future contribution behaviors of developers given their interaction history, the semantic features of source code, and the hierarchical file structures of projects. We introduce CODER, a novel graph-based CODE Recommendation framework for open source software developers, which accounts for the complex interactions among multiple parties within the system. CODER jointly models microscopic user-code interactions and macroscopic user-project interactions via a heterogeneous graph and further bridges the two levels of information through aggregation on file-structure graphs that reflect the project hierarchy. Moreover, to overcome the lack of reliable benchmarks, we construct three large-scale datasets to facilitate future research in this direction. Extensive experiments show that our CODER framework achieves superior performance under various experimental settings, including intra-project, cross-project, and cold-start recommendation.},

abstract = {In the evolving landscape of software development, the adoption of open-source software (OSS) licensing has emerged as a pivotal trend, reshaping the way organizations, developers, and users interact with software. The notion of open source, predicated on principles of collaboration, transparency, and accessibility, stands in stark contrast to proprietary models, offering a unique set of advantages and challenges. This paper presents a collection of thirteen patterns that underpin the adoption and implementation of OSS Licensing in various contexts. Five of these patterns are described in full as a first step of forming a proper pattern language in this domain: The Open Source License Selection pattern guides choosing the right license, supported by License Education to ensure stakeholders understand the implications. Permissive Licensing promotes flexibility and broad adoption, while Copyleft Encouragement maintains the openness of derivative works. License Enforcement ensures compliance with selected licensing, safeguarding adherence to its terms. The remaining eight patterns are listed as patlets. For OSS practitioners, these patterns provide a basis for a balanced approach to open-source license management, supporting openness while maintaining necessary controls.},

abstract = {Software composition analysis (SCA) tools have been widely adopted to identify vulnerable libraries used in software applications. Such SCA tools depend on a vulnerability database to know affected libraries of each vulnerability. However, it is labor-intensive and error prone for a security team to manually maintain the vulnerability database. While several approaches adopt extreme multi-label learning to predict affected libraries for vulnerabilities, they are practically ineffective due to the limited library labels and the unawareness of ecosystems.To address these problems, we first conduct an empirical study to assess the quality of two fields, i.e., affected libraries and their ecosystems, for four vulnerability databases. Our study reveals notable inconsistency and inaccuracy in these two fields. Then, we propose Holmes to identify affected libraries and their ecosystems for vulnerabilities via a learning-to-rank technique. The key idea of Holmes is to gather various evidences about affected libraries and their ecosystems from multiple sources, and learn to rank a pool of libraries based on their relevance to evidences. Our extensive experiments have shown the effectiveness, efficiency and usefulness of Holmes.},

abstract = {Open source software (OSS) licenses regulate the conditions under which OSS can be legally reused, distributed, and modified. However, a common issue arises when incorporating third-party OSS accompanied with licenses, i.e., license incompatibility, which occurs when multiple licenses exist in one project and there are conflicts between them. Despite being problematic, fixing license incompatibility issues requires substantial efforts due to the lack of license understanding and complex package dependency. In this paper, we propose LiResolver, a fine-grained, scalable, and flexible tool to resolve license incompatibility issues for open source software. Specifically, it first understands the semantics of licenses through fine-grained entity extraction and relation extraction. Then, it detects and resolves license incompatibility issues by recommending official licenses in priority. When no official licenses can satisfy the constraints, it generates a custom license as an alternative solution. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of LiResolver, with 4.09% false positive (FP) rate and 0.02% false negative (FN) rate for incompatibility issue localization, and 62.61% of 230 real-world incompatible projects resolved by LiResolver. We discuss the feedback from OSS developers and the lessons learned from this work. All the datasets and the replication package of LiResolver have been made publicly available to facilitate follow-up research.},

abstract = {The exponential growth of open-source package ecosystems, particularly NPM and PyPI, has led to an alarming increase in software supply chain poisoning attacks. Existing static analysis methods struggle with high false positive rates and are easily thwarted by obfuscation and dynamic code execution techniques. While dynamic analysis approaches offer improvements, they often suffer from capturing non-package behaviors and employing simplistic testing strategies that fail to trigger sophisticated malicious behaviors. To address these challenges, we present OSCAR, a robust dynamic code poisoning detection pipeline for NPM and PyPI ecosystems. OSCAR fully executes packages in a sandbox environment, employs fuzz testing on exported functions and classes, and implements aspect-based behavior monitoring with tailored API hook points. We evaluate OSCAR against six existing tools using a comprehensive benchmark dataset of real-world malicious and benign packages. OSCAR achieves an F1 score of 0.95 in NPM and 0.91 in PyPI, confirming that OSCAR is as effective as the current state-of-the-art technologies. Furthermore, for benign packages exhibiting characteristics typical of malicious packages, OSCAR reduces the false positive rate by an average of 32.06% in NPM (from 34.63% to 2.57%) and 39.87% in PyPI (from 41.10% to 1.23%), compared to other tools, significantly reducing the workload of manual reviews in real-world deployments. In cooperation with Ant Group, a leading financial technology company, we have deployed OSCAR on its NPM and PyPI mirrors since January 2023, identifying 10,404 malicious NPM packages and 1,235 malicious PyPI packages over 18 months. This work not only bridges the gap between academic research and industrial application in code poisoning detection but also provides a robust and practical solution that has been thoroughly tested in a real-world industrial setting.},

abstract = {Open source software (OSS) licenses regulate the conditions under which users can reuse, modify, and distribute the software legally. However, there exist various OSS licenses in the community, written in a formal language, which are typically long and complicated to understand. In this paper, we conducted a 661-participants online survey to investigate the perspectives and practices of developers towards OSS licenses. The user study revealed an indeed need for an automated tool to facilitate license understanding. Motivated by the user study and the fast growth of licenses in the community, we propose the first study towards automated license summarization. Specifically, we released the first high quality text summarization dataset and designed two tasks, i.e., license text summarization (LTS), aiming at generating a relatively short summary for an arbitrary license, and license term classification (LTC), focusing on the attitude inference towards a predefined set of key license terms (e.g., Distribute). Aiming at the two tasks, we present LiSum, a multi-task learning method to help developers overcome the obstacles of understanding OSS licenses. Comprehensive experiments demonstrated that the proposed jointly training objective boosted the performance on both tasks, surpassing state-of-the-art baselines with gains of at least 5 points w.r.t. F1 scores of four summarization metrics and achieving 95.13% micro average F1 score for classification simultaneously. We released all the datasets, the replication package, and the questionnaires for the community.},

abstract = {Trustworthy Open Source Software (OSS) development processes are the basis that secures the long-term trustworthiness of software projects and products. With the aim to investigate the trustworthiness of the Pull Request (PR) process, the common model of collaborative development in OSS community, we exploit process mining to identify and analyze the normal and anomalous patterns of PR processes, and propose our approach to identifying anomalies from both control-flow and semantic aspects, and then to analyze and synthesize the root causes of the identified anomalies. We analyze 17531 PRs of 18 OSS projects on GitHub, extracting 26 root causes of control-flow anomalies and 19 root causes of semantic anomalies. We find that most PRs can hardly contain both semantic anomalies and control-flow anomalies, and the internal custom rules in projects may be the key causes for the identified anomalous PRs. We further discover and analyze the patterns of normal PR processes. We find that PRs in the non-fork model (42%) are far more likely than the fork model (5%) to bypass the review process, indicating a higher potential risk. Besides, we analyzed nine poisoned projects whose PR practices were indeed worse. Given the complex and diverse PR processes in OSS community, the proposed approach can help identify and understand not only anomalous PRs but also normal PRs, which offers early risk indications of suspicious incidents (such as poisoning) to OSS supply chain.},

abstract = {The software development process, shaped by stakeholder feedback, encompasses the creation of diverse versions tailored for customization and addressing hardware limitations. Maintaining these versions involves initiating the transfer of changes for reuse. In the context of a pull-based development model, where the development branch remains current, the term "backporting" is coined to sustain stable versions. Stability requirements may necessitate fewer changes, compatible modifications, or security checks. Consequently, we conducted an analysis of 37,460 backports from 223,602 pull requests in open-source GitHub projects, aiming to identify types of incompatibilities encountered in real-life scenarios. We manually pinpointed various reasons why pull requests may lack compatibility with other versions, including contextual differences, varying dependencies, and statement-level alterations. This study constitutes the inaugural comprehensive characterization of changesets during the porting process across different versions with incompatibilities. The acquired insights can serve as a foundation for automated slicing and adaptation of changesets in stable software versions.},

abstract = {Selecting an appropriate task is challenging for newcomers to Open Source Software (OSS) projects. Therefore, researchers and OSS projects have proposed strategies to label tasks (a.k.a. issues). Several approaches relying on machine learning techniques, historical information, and textual analysis have been submitted. However, the results vary, and these approaches are still far from mainstream adoption, possibly because of a lack of good predictors. Inspired by previous research, we advocate that the prediction models might benefit from leveraging social metrics.In this research, we investigate how to assist the new contributors in finding a task when onboarding a new project. To achieve our goal, we predict the skills needed to solve an open issue by labeling them with the categories of APIs declared in the source code (API-domain labels) that should be updated or implemented. Starting from a case study using one project and an empirical experiment, we found the API-domain labels were relevant to select an issue for a contribution. In the sequence, we investigated employing interviews and a survey of what strategies maintainers the strategies believe the communities have to adopt to assist the new contributors in finding a task. We also studied how maintainers think about new contributors' strategies to pick a task. We found maintainers, frequent contributors, and new contributors diverge about the importance of the communities and new contributors' strategies.The ongoing research works in three directions: 1) generalization of the approach, 2) Use of conversation data metrics for predictions, 3) Demonstration of the approach, and 4) Matching contributors and tasks skills.By addressing the lack of knowledge about the skills in tasks, we hope to assist new contributors in picking tasks with more confidence.},

abstract = {As the AI revolution unfolds, the push toward automating support systems in diverse professional fields ranging from open-source software to healthcare, and banking to transportation has become more pronounced. Central to the automation of these systems is the early detection of named entities, a task that is foundational yet fraught with challenges due to the need for domain-specific expert annotations amid a backdrop of specialized terminologies, making the process both costly and complex. In response to this challenge, our paper presents an innovative named entity recognition (NER) framework () tailored for the open-source software domain. Our method stands out by employing a distantly supervised, two-step annotation process that cleverly exploits language heuristics, bespoke lookup tables, external knowledge bases, and an active learning model. This multifaceted strategy not only elevates model performance but also addresses the critical hurdles of high costs and the dearth of expert annotators. A notable achievement of our approach is its capability to enable pre-large language models (pre-LLMs) to significantly outperform specially designed generic/domain specific LLMs for NER tasks. We also show the effectiveness of NER in the downstream task of relation extraction.},

abstract = {Career path prediction is an important task in computational jobs marketplace. Recent advances in data science and artificial intelligence have imposed a huge recruitment demand on talents in the IT field. Previous studies predict a talent’s next job title solely based on her past experience in the resume, which can lead to errors if the resume contains fake information. With the popularity of open-source software, we argue that the next job title can be predicted based on a candidate’s past expertise in the open-source community. On the other hand, the career path can also affect the development of a talent’s expertise. Motivated by the observation, we propose to predict the job titles of IT talents as a dual task of forecasting their expertise development in open-source software. To solve the task, we design a dual learning model DualJE that leverages both the data-level and model-level duality. Experimental results show that DualJE is effective and performs much better than comparative models. A replication package for this work is available at .},

abstract = {Background: Open Source Software (OSS) fuels our global digital infrastructure but is commonly maintained by small groups of people whose time and labor represent a depletable resource. For the OSS projects to stay sustainable, i.e., viable and maintained over time without interruption or weakening, maintenance labor requires an underlying infrastructure to be supported and secured. Aims: Using the construct of human infrastructure, our study aims to investigate how maintenance labor can be supported and secured to enable the creation and maintenance of sustainable OSS projects, viewed from the maintainers’ perspective. Method: In our exploration, we interviewed ten maintainers from nine well-adopted OSS projects. We coded the data in two steps using investigator-triangulation. Results: We constructed a framework of infrastructure design that provide insight for OSS projects in the design of their human infrastructure. The framework specifically highlight the importance of human factors, e.g., securing a work-life balance and proactively managing social pressure, toxicity, and diversity. We also note both differences and overlaps in how the infrastructure needs to support and secure maintenance labor from maintainers and the wider OSS community, respectively. Funding is specifically highlighted as an important enabler for both types of resources. Conclusions: The study contributes to the qualitative understanding of the importance, sensitivity, and risk for depletion of the maintenance labor required to build and maintain healthy OSS projects. Human infrastructure is pivotal in ensuring that maintenance labor is sustainable, and by extension the OSS projects on which we all depend.},

abstract = {So far, the relationship between open science and software engineering expertise has largely focused on the open release of software engineering research insights and reproducible artifacts, in the form of open-access papers, open data, and open-source tools and libraries. In this position paper, we draw attention to another perspective: scientific insight itself is a complex and collaborative artifact under continuous development and in need of continuous quality assurance, and as such, has many parallels to software artifacts. Considering current calls for more open, collaborative and reproducible science; increasing demands for public accountability on matters of scientific integrity and credibility; methodological challenges coming with transdisciplinary science; political and communication tensions when scientific insight on societally relevant topics is to be translated to policy; and struggles to incentivize and reward academics who truly want to move into these directions beyond traditional publishing habits and cultures, we make the parallels between the emerging open science requirements and concepts already well-known in (open-source) software engineering research more explicit. We argue that the societal impact of software engineering expertise can reach far beyond the software engineering research community, and call upon the community members to pro-actively help driving the necessary systems and cultural changes towards more open and accountable research.},

abstract = {Governments are increasingly funding open source software (OSS) development to enhance software security, digital sovereignty, and national competitiveness in science and innovation, amongst others. However, little is known about how OSS developers view the relative benefits and drawbacks of governmental funding compared to other funding sources. This study explores this question through a case study on scikit-learn, a Python library for machine learning, funded by public research grants, commercial sponsorship, micro-donations, and a €32 million grant announced in France's artificial intelligence strategy. Through 25 interviews with scikit-learn's maintainers and funders, this study makes two key contributions. First, it contributes empirical findings about the benefits and drawbacks of public and private funding for OSS developers, and the governance protocols employed by the maintainers to balance the diverse interests of their funders and community. Second, it offers practical lessons on funding for OSS developers, governments, and companies based on the experience of scikit-learn. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research and practice.},

However, integrating such projects in classrooms requires substantial logistical planning by instructors as well as adequate programming skills from students. To mitigate these challenges, we propose four model curricula to serve as accessible strategies of integrating practicable learning opportunities in lower-level CS classes. Depending on classroom circumstances, instructors can assign projects that involve student contributions to OSS, custom plug-ins, simulated open source communities, or practical code excerpts. As a result, students will be able to explore the utility of CS and discover an exciting future in computing.},

abstract = {Designing and optimizing deep models require managing large datasets and conducting carefully designed controlled experiments that depend on large sets of hyper-parameters and problem dependent software/data configurations. These experiments are executed by training the model under observation with varying configurations. Since executing a typical training run can take days even on proven acceleration fabrics such as Graphics Processing Units (GPU), properly managing training data, avoiding human error in configuration preparations and securing the repeatability of the experiments are of utmost importance. In this paper, we present two open source software tools that aim to achieve these goals, namely, a Dataset Manager (DatumAid) tool and a Training Automation Manager (OrchesTrain) tool. DatumAid is a software tool that integrates with Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT) to facilitate the management of annotated datasets. By adding additional functionality, DatumAid allows users to filter labeled data, manipulate datasets, and export datasets for training purposes. The tool adopts a simple code structure while providing flexibility to users through configuration files. OrchesTrain aims to automate model training process by facilitating rapid preparation and training of models in the desired style for the intended tasks. Users can seamlessly integrate their models prepared in the PyTorch library into the system and leverage the full capabilities of OrchesTrain. It enables the simultaneous or separate usage of Wandb, MLflow, and TensorBoard loggers. To ensure reproducibility of the conducted experiments, all configurations and codes are saved to the selected logger in an appropriate structure within a YAML file along with the serialized model files. Both software tools are publicly available on GitHub.},

abstract = {Background: Governments worldwide are considering data privacy regulations. These laws, such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), require software developers to meet privacy-related requirements when interacting with users’ data. Prior research describes the impact of such laws on software development, but only for commercial software. Although open-source software is commonly integrated into regulated software, and thus must be engineered or adapted for compliance, we do not know how such laws impact open-source software development. Aims: To understand how data privacy laws affect open-source software (OSS) development, we focus on the European Union’s GDPR, as it is the most prominent such law. We investigated how GDPR compliance activities influence OSS developer activity (RQ1), how OSS developers perceive fulfilling GDPR requirements (RQ2), the most challenging GDPR requirements to implement (RQ3), and how OSS developers assess GDPR compliance (RQ4). Method: We distributed an online survey to explore perceptions of GDPR implementations from open-source developers (N=56). To augment this analysis, we further conducted a repository mining study to analyze development metrics on pull requests (N=31,462) submitted to open-source GitHub repositories. Results: Our results suggest GDPR policies complicate OSS development and introduce challenges, primarily regarding the management of users’ data, implementation costs and time, and assessments of compliance. Moreover, we observed negative perceptions of the GDPR from OSS developers and significant increases in development activity, in particular metrics related to coding and reviewing, on GitHub pull requests related to GDPR compliance. Conclusions: Our findings provide future research directions and implications for improving data privacy policies, motivating the need for relevant resources and automated tools to support data privacy regulation implementation and compliance efforts in OSS.},

abstract = {The importance of social communities around open-source software projects has been recognized. Despite that a lot of relevant research focusing on this topic, understanding the structures and dynamics of communities around open-source software projects remains a tedious and challenging task. As a result, an easily accessible and useful application that enables project developers to gain awareness of the status and development of the project communities is desirable. In this paper, we present MyCommunity, a web-based online application system to automatically extract communication-based community structures from social coding platforms such as GitHub. Based on the detected community structures, the system analyzes and visualizes the community evolution history of a project with a set of semantic-rich events, and quantify the strength of community evolution with respect to different events with a series of indexes. Built-in support to quantitative analysis and machine learning tasks based on the quantitative evolutionary events are provided. We demonstrate the usefulness of the system by presenting its ability in predicting project success or failure with the community evolution features. The results suggest the system achieves a prediction accuracy of 88.5% with commonly available machine learning models.},

abstract = {The development and training of deep learning models have become increasingly costly and complex. Consequently, software engineers are adopting pre-trained models (PTMs) for their downstream applications. The dynamics of the PTM supply chain remain largely unexplored, signaling a clear need for structured datasets that document not only the metadata but also the subsequent applications of these models. Without such data, the MSR community cannot comprehensively understand the impact of PTM adoption and reuse.This paper presents the PeaTMOSS dataset, which comprises metadata for 281,638 PTMs and detailed snapshots for all PTMs with over 50 monthly downloads (14,296 PTMs), along with 28,575 open-source software repositories from GitHub that utilize these models. Additionally, the dataset includes 44,337 mappings from 15,129 downstream GitHub repositories to the 2,530 PTMs they use. To enhance the dataset's comprehensiveness, we developed prompts for a large language model to automatically extract model metadata, including the model's training datasets, parameters, and evaluation metrics. Our analysis of this dataset provides the first summary statistics for the PTM supply chain, showing the trend of PTM development and common shortcomings of PTM package documentation. Our example application reveals inconsistencies in software licenses across PTMs and their dependent projects. PeaTMOSS lays the foundation for future research, offering rich opportunities to investigate the PTM supply chain. We outline mining opportunities on PTMs, their downstream usage, and cross-cutting questions.Our artifact is available at https://github.com/PurdueDualityLab/PeaTMOSS-Artifact.

abstract = {Without newcomers, open source software (OSS) projects are hardly sustainable. Yet, newcomers face a steep learning curve during OSS onboarding in which they must overcome a multitude of technical, social, and knowledge barriers. To ease the onboarding process, OSS communities are utilizing mentoring, task recommendation (e.g., "good first issues"), and engagement programs (e.g., Google Summer of Code). However, newcomers must first cultivate their motivation for OSS contribution and learn the necessary preliminaries before they can take advantage of these mechanisms. We believe this gap can be filled by a dedicated, practice-oriented OSS onboarding course. In this paper, we present our experience of teaching an OSS onboarding course at Peking University. The course contains a series of lectures, labs, and invited talks to prepare students with the required skills and motivate them to contribute to OSS. In addition, students are required to complete a semester-long course project in which they plan and make actual contributions to OSS projects. They can either contribute to some recommended OSS projects with dedicated mentors, or contribute to any OSS project they prefer. Finally, 16 out of the 19 enrolled students have successfully contributed to OSS projects, and five have retained. However, the onboarding trajectories, final contributions, and retention outcomes differ vastly between the two groups of students with different course project choices, yielding lessons for software engineering education.},

Research also suggests that toxicity disproportionately impacts newcomers, women, and other participants from marginalized groups. Therefore, toxicity is a barrier to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. Since the occurrence of toxic communications is not uncommon among FOSS communities and such communications may have serious repercussions, the primary objective of my proposed dissertation is to automatically identify and mitigate toxicity during developers’ textual interactions. On this goal, I aim to: i) build an automated toxicity detector for Software Engineering (SE) domain, ii) identify the notion of toxicity across demographics, and iii) analyze the impacts of toxicity on the outcomes of Open Source Software (OSS) projects.},

However, due to these OSS projects’ collaborative and community-based nature, they often lack resources to focus on quality aspects, such as efficiency and usability. This research aims to apply the adapted Interface Content Model usability technique in the open-source software Koodo Reader project. We participated as volunteers in this project, although we did not have the authorization of the leading developer. To validate the effectiveness of the adapted technique, tests were conducted with representative users, covering a variety of interactions with the Koodo Reader interface. The results of these tests were used for prototyping, which was evaluated and validated by the user community of the Koodo Reader project. In conclusion, the successful application of the Interface Content Modeling technique has proven to be a tool that helps improve the quality of projects. It makes it easier for the developer community to collaborate to improve the end-user experience and make the project more appealing to users. This case exemplifies how collaboration and teamwork in the OSS context can generate innovative and effective solutions.},

abstract = {Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) has become the fundamental infrastructure of mainstream software projects. FOSS is subject to various legal terms and restrictions, depending on the type of open source license in force. Hence it is important to remain compliant with the FOSS license terms. Identifying the licenses that provide FOSS and understanding the terms of those licenses is not easy, especially when dealing with a large amount of reuse that is common in modern software development. Since reused software is often large, automated license analysis is needed to address these issues and support users in license compliant reuse of FOSS. However, existing license assessment tools can only identify the name and quantity of licenses embedded in software and thus cannot identify whether the licenses are being used safely and correctly. Moreover, they cannot provide a comprehensive analysis of the compatibility and potential risk that come with the term conflicts.In this paper, we propose DIKE, an automated tool that can perform license detection and conflict analysis for FOSS. First, DIKE extracts 12 terms under 3,256 unique open source licenses by manual analysis and Natural Language Processing (NLP) and constructs a license knowledge base containing the responsibilities of the terms. Second, DIKE scans all licenses from the code snippet for the input software and outputs the scan results in a tree structure. Third, the scan results match the license knowledge base to detect license conflicts from terms and conditions. DIKE designs two solutions for software with license conflicts: license replacement and code replacement. To demonstrate the effectiveness of DIKE, we first evaluate with the term extraction and responsibility classification, and the results show that their F1-scores reach 0.816 and 0.948, respectively. In addition, we conduct a measurement study of 16,341 popular projects from GitHub based on our proposed DIKE to explore the conflict of license usage in FOSS. The results show that 1,787 open source licenses are used in the project, and 27.2% of licenses conflict. Our new findings suggest that conflicts are prevalent in FOSS, warning the open source community about intellectual property risks.},

Consequently, research emerged within Sustainable HCI, aiming to derive design principles that can empower these movements to scale their impact. However, a notable gap exists in contributions when addressing scalability of large free and open-source software (FOSS) projects.This paper aims to present our endeavors as action-oriented researchers with the voluntary-driven Foodsharing.de movement, focusing on a local community, the open-source developers and their connections. Within a community of 585,000 users and only a few developers that is dedicated to save and share surplus food, we explore the concepts of ‘intermediary experience’. We also introduce the notion of ‘serendipitous connections’, highlighting the unintentional yet beneficial associations that can arise from the collaboration between developers and users.},

abstract = {Software evolution is the process of developing, maintaining, and updating software systems. It is known that the software systems tend to increase their complexity and size over their evolution to meet the demands required by the users. Due to this fact, researchers have increasingly carried out studies on software evolution to understand the systems' evolution pattern and propose techniques to overcome inherent problems in software evolution. Many of these works collect data but do not make them publicly available. Many datasets on software evolution are outdated, and/or are small, and some of them do not provide time series from software metrics. We propose an extensive software evolution dataset with temporal information about open-source Java systems. To build this dataset, we proposed a methodology of four steps: selecting the systems using a criterion, extracting and measuring their releases, and generating their time series. Our dataset contains time series of 46 software metrics extracted from 46 open-source Java systems, and we make it publicly available.},

abstract = {The problem of low gender diversity in open-source software (OSS) has been reported and studied in recent years. However, prior studies found that gender bias theories in social sciences cannot help us effectively identify gender bias effects in OSS. Our study takes the first step toward finding new measures for gender bias in OSS. This paper attempts to employ linguistic theories to identify different collaboration patterns between different genders. Our contributions are two-fold: we review linguistic literature on diversity and online collaboration, then we apply linguistic theories from our literature reviews to a random sample of code review conversations on GitHub.},

abstract = {Forking a software repository is a popular and recommended practice among developers. A fork is a copy of the original repository that can evolve independently from the parent repository, allowing developers to experiment with a code base or test new features without the danger of affecting the original project. A fork can result in changes that are pushed back to the original project or even evolve into an independent project. Some projects tend to be forked extensively to the point where their forks are also forked and form families of projects. In this work, we explore the motivation, the practices and the culture of forking open-source software repositories. In particular, we study how forks evolve compared to the parent repository, how they are related to pull requests, how they contribute back to the parent, and how dependencies, in terms of libraries or external modules defined in a build script, are shared or differ within project families. Finally, we relate our findings with how communication and collaboration occurs within software families.},

abstract = {In the GitHub open-source collaborative development scenario, each entity type and the link relationship between them have natural heterogeneous attributes. In order to improve the accuracy of project recommendation, it is necessary to effectively integrate this multi-source information. Therefore, for the project recommendation scenario, this paper defines an open source weighted heterogeneous information network to represent the different entity types and link relationships in the GitHub open source collaborative development scenario, and effectively model the complex interaction among developers, projects and other entities. Using the weighted heterogeneous information network embedding method, extract and use the rich structural and semantic information in the weighted heterogeneous open source information network to learn the node representation of developers and projects, and fuse the personalized nonlinear fusion function into the matrix decomposition model for open source project recommendation. Finally, this paper makes a large number of comparative experiments based on the real GitHub open data set, and compares it with other project recommendation methods to verify the effectiveness of our proposed open source project recommendation model. At the same time, it also explores the impact of different metapaths on the effect of project recommendation. The experimental results show that the recommendation method based on heterogeneous information network can effectively improve the recommendation quality.},

abstract = {Curricula recommendation for undergraduate Software Engineering courses underscore the importance of transcending from traditional lecture format to actively involving students in time-limited, iterative development practices. This paper presents a teaching approach for a software testing course that integrates theory and practical experience through the utilization of both TBL and active contributions to OSS projects. The paper reports on our experience implementing the pedagogical approach over four consecutive semesters of a Software Testing course within an undergraduate Software Engineering program. The experience encompassed both online and in-person classes, involving a substantial cohort of over 300 students spanning four semesters. Students' perceptions regarding the course are analyzed and compared with previous, related studies. Our results are positively aligned with the existing literature of software engineering teaching, confirming the effectiveness of combining TBL with OSS contributions. Additionally, our survey has shed light on the challenges that students encounter during their first contribution to OSS projects, highlighting the need for targeted solutions. Overall, the experience demonstrates that the proposed pedagogical structure can effectively facilitate the transition from theoretical knowledge to real-world practice in the domain of Software Testing.},

abstract = {User forums of Open Source Software (OSS) enable end-users to collaboratively discuss problems concerning the OSS applications. Despite decades of research on OSS, we know very little about how end-users engage with OSS communities on these forums, in particular, the challenges that hinder their continuous and meaningful participation in the OSS community. Many previous works are developer-centric and overlook the importance of end-user forums. As a result, end-users' expectations are seldom reflected in OSS development. To better understand user behaviors in OSS user forums, we carried out an empirical study analyzing about 1.3 million posts from user forums of four popular OSS applications: Zotero, Audacity, VLC, and RStudio. Through analyzing the contribution patterns of three common user types (end-users, developers, and organizers), we observed that end-users not only initiated most of the threads (above 96% of threads in three projects, 86% in the other), but also acted as the significant contributors for responding to other users' posts, even though they tended to lack confidence in their activities as indicated by psycho-linguistic analyses. Moreover, we found end-users more open, reflecting a more positive emotion in communication than organizers and developers in the forums. Our work contributes new knowledge about end-users' activities and behaviors in OSS user forums that the vital OSS stakeholders can leverage to improve end-user engagement in the OSS development process.},

We leverage the full history of developers’ interactions with their teammates and projects at github.com between January 2010 and April 2017 (representing about 133 million interactions) to establish that – contrary to a common narrative describing open source as a pure “technical meritocracy” – developers’ communication abilities and community building skills are significant predictors of whether they emerge as team leaders. Inspirational communication therefore appears as central to the process of leader emergence in virtual teams, even in a setting like OSS, where technical contributions have often been conceptualized as the sole pathway to gaining community recognition. Those results should be of interest to researchers and practitioners theorizing about OSS in particular and, more generally, leadership in geographically dispersed virtual teams, as well as to online community managers.},

abstract = {Background: Accurate representation of developer expertise has always been an important research problem. While a number of studies proposed novel methods of representing expertise within individual projects, these methods are difficult to apply at an ecosystem level. However, with the focus of software development shifting from monolithic to modular, a method of representing developers' expertise in the context of the entire OSS development becomes necessary when, for example, a project tries to find new maintainers and look for developers with relevant skills. Aim: We aim to address this knowledge gap by proposing and constructing the Skill Space where each API, developer, and project is represented and postulate how the topology of this space should reflect what developers know (and projects need). Method: we use the World of Code infrastructure to extract the complete set of APIs in the files changed by open source developers and, based on that data, employ Doc2Vec embeddings for vector representations of APIs, developers, and projects. We then evaluate if these embeddings reflect the postulated topology of the Skill Space by predicting what new APIs/projects developers use/join, and whether or not their pull requests get accepted. We also check how the developers' representations in the Skill Space align with their self-reported API expertise. Result: Our results suggest that the proposed embeddings in the Skill Space appear to satisfy the postulated topology and we hope that such representations may aid in the construction of signals that increase trust (and efficiency) of open source ecosystems at large and may aid investigations of other phenomena related to developer proficiency and learning.},

abstract = {Abstract: Open Source Software (OSS) is extensively utilized in industry and government because it allows for open access to the source code and allows for external involvement in the software development process. There are several factors driving this movement in a government setting, making it difficult to assess the adoption's success. Through a study of billions of rows of GitHub activity data, this research analyzes the production of OSS by administrations in German-speaking countries in detail and analyses the motivating factors and challenges to OSS adoption through a literature review. Similar studies have been conducted in other nations, with somewhat different approaches, foci, and different ways to identify public GitHub users as well as insiders and outsiders of OSS projects. 16 consequences of OSS usage and development are listed in the paper. On GitHub, we found 1021 OSS projects run by public agencies in largly German-speaking nations. We then compiled a list of the most popular projects based on commits and the most active public agencies in terms of projects. The research also finds automatic contributions by bots, which have not been taken into account in the literature so far, and demonstrates highly substantial positive correlations between commits, forks, and stars as proxy for the popularity of these projects. This research introduces a new method for identifying government organizations in OSS platforms and illuminates the possible positive and negative effects of the public sector's release and adoption of open source software.},

abstract = {A sound Decision-Making (DM) process is key to the successful governance of software projects. In many Open Source Software Development (OSSD) communities, DM processes lie buried amongst vast amounts of publicly available data. Hidden within this data lie the rationale for decisions that led to the evolution and maintenance of software products. While there have been some efforts to extract DM processes from publicly available data, the rationale behind 'how' the decisions are made have seldom been explored. Extracting the rationale for these decisions can facilitate transparency (by making them known), and also promote accountability on the part of decision-makers. This work bridges this gap by means of a large-scale study that unearths the rationale behind decisions from Python development email archives comprising about 1.5 million emails. This paper makes two main contributions. First, it makes a knowledge contribution by unearthing and presenting the rationale behind decisions made. Second, it makes a methodological contribution by presenting a heuristics-based rationale extraction system called Rationale Miner that employs multiple heuristics, and follows a data-driven, bottom-up approach to infer the rationale behind specific decisions (e.g., whether a new module is implemented based on core developer consensus or benevolent dictator's pronouncement). Our approach can be applied to extract rationale in other OSSD communities that have similar governance structures.},

In this tool paper, we demonstrate how we eliminated a COTS tool from the otherwise open-source-based generation and evolution workflow of the domain-specific modeling language East-Adl, used in the automotive industry to describe a variety of interdisciplinary aspects of vehicle systems. By switching to a pure open-source solution, East-Adl becomes easier to inspect, evolve, and develop a community around. We compare both the mixed COTS/open-source and the open-source-only workflows, outline the advantages of the open-source-only solution, and show that we achieve equivalent tooling features compared to the original approach.},

In a similar way, community smells consider the sub-optimal patterns in the organizational and social structures of software teams. Related work performed empirical studies to identify the relationship between community smells and software smells at the architecture and code levels. However, how community smells relate with design smells is still unknown. Aims: In this paper, we empirically investigate the relationship between community smells and design smells during the evolution of software projects. Method: We apply three statistical methods: correlation, trend, and information gain analysis to empirically examine the relationship between community and design smells in 100 releases of 10 large-scale Apache open-source software projects. Results: Our results reveal that the relationship between community and design smells varies across the analyzed projects. We find significant correlations and trend similarities for one type of community smell (when developers work in isolation without peer communication—Missing Links) with design smells in most of the analyzed projects. Furthermore, the results of our statistical model disclose that community smells are more relevant for design smells compared to other community-related factors. Conclusion: Our results find that the relationship of community smells (in particular, the Missing Links smell) exists with design smells. Based on our findings, we discuss specific community smell refactoring techniques that should be done together when refactoring design smells so that the problems associated with the social and technical (design) aspects of the projects can be managed concurrently.},

Open source licenses such as GPL, MIT, Apache, Mozilla, BSD, etc have varying terms and conditions for usage, modification, and distribution. Given the availability of source code for open source software, it is difficult to scrutinize adherence of licenses and more often than not it is left to the good faith of organizations and individuals. Violation of licensing terms knowingly or unknowingly can lead to copyright, ethical, compliance and security issues. In this paper, we propose a blockchain based approach in managing open source software licenses by enforcing certain practices to improve awareness and increase transparency, thus minimizing the possibility of violations.

abstract = {Software bots are used by Open Source Software (OSS) projects to streamline the code review process. Interfacing between developers and automated services, code review bots report continuous integration failures, code quality checks, and code coverage. However, the impact of such bots on maintenance tasks is still neglected. In this paper, we study how project maintainers experience code review bots. We surveyed 127 maintainers and asked about their expectations and perception of changes incurred by code review bots. Our findings reveal that the most frequent expectations include enhancing the feedback bots provide to developers, reducing the maintenance burden for developers, and enforcing code coverage. While maintainers report that bots satisfied their expectations, they also perceived unexpected effects, such as communication noise and newcomers' dropout. Based on these results, we provide a series of implications for bot developers, as well as insights for future research.},

abstract = {Background: A consistent body of research and practice have identified that technical debt provides valuable and actionable insight into the design and implementation deficiencies of complex software systems. Existing software tools enable characterizing and measuring the amount of technical debt at selective granularity levels; by providing a computational model, they enable stakeholders to measure and ultimately control this phenomenon. Aims: In this paper we aim to study the evolution and characteristics of technical debt in open-source software. For this, we carry out a longitudinal study that covers the entire development history of several complex applications. The goal is to improve our understanding of how the amount and composition of technical debt changes in evolving software. We also study how new technical debt is introduced in software, as well as identify how developers handle its accumulation over the long term. Method: We carried out our evaluation using three complex, open-source Java applications. All 110 released versions, covering more than 10 years of development history for each application were analyzed using SonarQube. We studied how the amount, composition and history of technical debt changed during development, compared our results across the studied applications and present our most important findings. Results: For each application, we identified key versions during which large amounts of technical debt were added, removed or both. This had significantly more impact when compared to the lines of code or class count increases that generally occurred during development. However, within each version, we found high correlation between file lines of code and technical debt. We observed that the Pareto principle was satisfied for the studied applications, as 20% of issue types generated around 80% of total technical debt. Interestingly, there was a large degree of overlap between the issues that generated most of the debt across the studied applications. Conclusions: Early application versions showed greater fluctuation in the amount of existing technical debt. We found application size to be an unreliable predictor for the quantity of technical debt. Most debt was introduced in applications as part of milestone releases that expanded their feature set; likewise, we identified releases where extensive refactoring significantly reduced the level of debt. We also discovered that technical debt issues persist for a long time in source code, and their removal did not appear to be prioritized according to type or severity.},

abstract = {The necessity and benefits of broadening participation in computing and the roles that computing programs must play in addressing this challenge have been well documented. Elevating the social value of computing has been advocated as an approach to increasing the appeal of computing to both women and other underrepresented groups. This poster adds empirical support for that approach. It reports on the analysis of projects selected by students over four years of a two-semester senior capstone. In this capstone students select Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) communities with which to engage. The students learned about FOSS principles and processes and were introduced to humanitarian FOSS (HFOSS). They completed pre-semester surveys and engaged in a three-stage project selection process. The types of projects that students considered (FOSS or HFOSS) support the assertion that computing with social value is appealing to both females and students in underrepresented groups. Analysis of pre-semester attitude surveys adds additional insight and suggests further avenues for investigation.},

abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) forms an infrastructure on which numerous (often critical) software applications are based. Substantial research was done to investigate central projects such as Linux kernel but we have only a limited understanding of how the periphery of the larger OSS ecosystem is interconnected through technical dependencies, code sharing, and knowledge flows. We aim to close this gap by a) creating a nearly complete and rapidly updateable collection of version control data for FLOSS projects; b) by cleaning, correcting, and augmenting the data to measure several types of dependencies among code, developers, and projects; c) by creating models that rely on the resulting supply chains to investigate structural and dynamic properties of the entire OSS. The current implementation is capable of being updated each month, occupies over 300Tb of disk space with 1.5B commits and 12B git objects. Highly accurate algorithms to correct identity data and extract dependencies from the source code are used to characterize the current structure of OSS and the way it has evolved. In particular, models of technology spread demonstrate the implicit factors developers use when choosing software components. We expect the resulting research platform will both spur investigations on how the huge periphery in OSS both sustains and is sustained by the central OSS projects and, as a result, will increase resiliency and effectiveness of the OSS.},

In my study, I investigate the following question: how do FOSS communities sustain their software quality?

Amongst these factors are: the motivation of participants, robust governance style for the software change process, and the exercise of good practices in the pull requests evaluation process.},

abstract = {Software Engineering courses often emphasize teaching methodologies and concepts in small and controlled environments over teaching, say, maintenance aspects of full-fledged real software systems. This decision is partly justified due to the difficulty of bringing to the context of a classroom a real software project. The widespread presence of open source projects, however, is contributing to alleviating this problem. Several instructors have already adopted contributions to open source projects as part of their evaluation process, and these instructors reported many benefits, including the improvement on students' technical and social skills. However, little is known about the students' perceptions regarding the need to contribute to an open source project as part of a Software Engineering course. To better understand the students' challenges, benefits, and attitudes, we conducted 21 semi-structured interviews with students who took these courses in five different Brazilian universities. We also enriched this data with an analysis of commits performed in the repositories that students contributed to. We observed that even though some instructors chose the open source projects to students to work themselves, some students and even the open source community participated in the process of choosing projects and tasks. Students' contributions varied concerning both complexity (measured by the number of additions, deletions, and edited files) and diversity (measured regarding the different programming languages used). Among the benefits, students reported improving their technical skills and their self-confidence. Finally, some students found extremely important for instructors' being involved with open source initiatives (extra-classroom).},

abstract = {Finding real examples that follow the evolution of Software Engineering is not an easy task for instructors in the field. Open Source Software (OSS) projects have been an alternative to support education in Software Engineering, as they allow contact with real development projects and environments. However, the adoption of these projects in the classroom presents some obstacles, such as choosing the appropriate project, and the time and effort needed to prepare the classes and get used to the open source environment. In order to reduce the difficulties faced by instructors, we are working on developing a portal to catalog worked examples extracted from OSS projects to assist instructors. In this paper, we present the first steps towards creating this catalog, which is creating a pattern for guiding the structuring the worked examples. We are applying the Design Science Research paradigm. The activities reported in this paper regards the first Design Cycle, and were divided into three stages related to the elaboration and evaluation of the pattern for cataloging the worked examples. In these stages, we carried out focus groups and interviews with Software Engineering instructors, including the instantiation of the pattern to catalog actual worked examples. After each stage, we had a new and improved version of the pattern for cataloging the worked examples. Such pattern served as a basis to create the first version of the worked examples portal, which will be evaluated in the next stages of the research.},

It is very important for open source projects to be impactful, i.e., to attract attentions from the open source development community, so as to gain support on development, testing as well as maintenance from the community. However, the question of what factors affect open source project impact, remains largely open. Given the numerous confounding factors and the complex correlations among the factors, it is a challenge to answer the question. In this study, we gather a large dataset from GitHub and provide empirical insights on this question base on a data-driven approach. We randomly collect 146,286 projects from GitHub and then adopt data analysis techniques to automatically analyze the correlations of different features with the software project impact. We also provide suggestions on how to potentially make open source projects impactful base on our analysis results.},

abstract = {Open source software (OSS) is usually developed by heterogeneous groups of people, each with their own interests, motivations and abilities. Therefore, it is important to establish the best software development and contributing practices early in the life-time of the project. Such practices should foster the contributors’ involvement in the OSS project as quickly as possible. The sustainability of an OSS project is heavily based on the underlying community of contributors and on the knowledge and skills they bring to the project and they acquire and develop through their participation in the project and interaction with the project community. Therefore, identifying and investigating contributors’ learning processes is an important research area in OSS.This survey paper presents an overview of open source learning methods in order to explore how community interaction impacts the development and application of OSS learning processes in other areas, especially in education. It is argued that collaboration with peers and consistent code contributions result in learning progress in OSS. Typical research in this area is based on case by case analysis, whereas this survey tries to highlight and combine the outcomes of several research contributions from the literature.},

abstract = {The supply chain is an extremely successful way to cope with the risk posed by distributed decision making in product sourcing and distribution. While open source software has similarly distributed decision making and involves code and information flows similar to those in ordinary supply chains, the actual networks necessary to quantify and communicate risks in software supply chains have not been constructed on large scale. This work proposes to close this gap by measuring dependency, code reuse, and knowledge flow networks in open source software. We have done preliminary work by developing suitable tools and methods that rely on public version control data to measure and comparing these networks for R language and emberjs packages. We propose ways to calculate the three networks for the entirety of public software, evaluate their accuracy, and to provide public infrastructure to build risk assessment and mitigation tools for various individual and organizational participants in open sources software. We hope that this infrastructure will contribute to more predictable experience with OSS and lead to its even wider adoption.},

abstract = {Software Engineering researchers and practitioners have sought a systematic way of characterizing technical and social behaviors in software development, from the perspective of either an artifact (e.g. design pattern) or an actor (e.g. developer). In this context, influencers are those who guide the development methods and disseminate patterns due to their popularity or status in the community. Especially in software ecosystems, the dynamics of interactions with interventions of external developers over a common technological platform leverage the effects of influence and still remains as a challenge. This paper presents an exploratory study on the sense of influence in open source software ecosystems, more specifically from the opinions of 95 developers who contribute to npm projects based on GitHub. To do so, qualitative data from a conducted survey research were analyzed based on Grounded Theory (GT) procedures. Based on two main categories (Technical and Social), we recognized aspects that reinforce some key characteristics of an influencer, e.g., 'status in the project', 'participation with code', 'participation with comments ', and 'content value'. However, some diverging aspects were observed, e.g., the difference between qualitative and quantitative responses related to 'long-time interaction with the project'. This study contributes with the identification of influencers' characteristics that can aid both researchers in further studies on open source software ecosystems and practitioners in strategies to manage project-based ecosystems.},

Based on an analysis of user action data from 29 GitHub projects, we extracted six activities that distinguished four Active roles and five Supporting roles of OSS contributors, as well as patterns in role changes. Through the lens of the Activity Theory, these findings provided rich design guidelines for OSS tools to support diverse contributor roles.},

abstract = {Motivation: Society’s dependence on Open Source Software (OSS) and the communities that maintain the OSS is ever-growing. So are the potential risks of, e.g., vulnerabilities being introduced in projects not actively maintained. By assessing an OSS project’s capability to stay viable and maintained over time without interruption or weakening, i.e., the OSS health, users can consider the risk implied by using the OSS as is, and if necessary, decide whether to help improve the health or choose another option. However, such assessment is complex as OSS health covers a wide range of sub-topics, and existing support is limited. Aim: We aim to create an overview of characteristics that affect the health of an OSS project and enable the assessment thereof. Method: We conduct a snowball literature review based on a start set of 9 papers, and identify 146 relevant papers over two iterations of forward and backward snowballing. Health characteristics are elicited and coded using structured and axial coding into a framework structure. Results: The final framework consists of 107 health characteristics divided among 15 themes. Characteristics address the socio-technical spectrum of the community of actors maintaining the OSS project, the software and other deliverables being maintained, and the orchestration facilitating the maintenance. Characteristics are further divided based on the level of abstraction they address, i.e., the OSS project-level specifically, or the project’s overarching ecosystem of related OSS projects. Conclusion: The framework provides an overview of the wide span of health characteristics that may need to be considered when evaluating OSS health and can serve as a foundation both for research and practice.},

OSS communities do not generally know how to apply usability techniques and are unclear about which techniques to use in each activity of the development process. The aim of our research is to adopt the HTA usability technique in the OpenOffice Writer OSS project and determine the feasibility of adapting the technique for application. To do this, we participated as volunteers in the project. We used the case study research method during technique application and participation in the community. As a result, we identified adverse conditions that were an obstacle to technique application and modified the technique to make it applicable to OSS projects. We can conclude from our experience that these changes were helpful for applying the technique, using web artifacts like forums and collaborative tools like Cacoo, although it was not easy to recruit OSS users to participate in usability technique application.},

abstract = {Open source software (OSS) is a core part of virtually all software applications today. Due to the rapidly growing impact of OSS on society and the economy, the security aspect has attracted researchers' attention to investigate this distinctive phenomenon. Traditionally, research on OSS security has often focused on technical aspects of software development. We argue that these aspects are important, however, technical security practice considering different social aspects of OSS development will assure the effectiveness and efficiency of the implementation of the tool. To mitigate this research gap, in this empirical study, we explore the current security culture in the OSS development phenomenon using a survey instrument with six evaluation dimensions: attitude, behavior, competency, subjective norms, governance, and communication. By exploring the current security culture in OSS communities, we can start to understand the influence of security on participants' security behaviors and decision-making, so that we can make realistic and practical suggestions. In this paper, we present the measurements of security culture adopted in the study and discuss corresponding security issues that need to be addressed in OSS communities.},

abstract = {A software supply chain attack is characterized by the injection of malicious code into a software package in order to compromise dependent systems further down the chain. Recent years saw a number of supply chain attacks that leverage the increasing use of open source during software development, which is facilitated by dependency managers that automatically resolve, download and install hundreds of open source packages throughout the software life cycle. Even though many approaches for detection and discovery of vulnerable packages exist, no prior work has focused on malicious packages. This paper presents a dataset as well as analysis of 174 malicious software packages that were used in real-world attacks on open source software supply chains and which were distributed via the popular package repositories npm, PyPI, and RubyGems. Those packages, dating from November 2015 to November 2019, were manually collected and analyzed. This work is meant to facilitate the future development of preventive and detective safeguards by open source and research communities.},

abstract = {Reusing software components from third-party vendors is one of the key technologies to gain shorter time-to-market and better quality of the software system. These components, also known as OTS (Off-the-Shelf) components, come in two types: COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) and OSS (Open-Source Software). To utilize OSS components effectively, it is necessary to figure out how the development processes and methods to be adapted. Most current studies are either theoretical proposals without empirical assessment or case studies in similar project contexts. It is therefore necessary to conduct more empirical studies on how process improvement and risk management can be performed and what are the results in various project contexts.},

abstract = {Open source software (OSS) communities are often able to produce high quality software comparable to proprietary software. The success of an open source software development (OSSD) community is often attributed to the underlying governance model, and a key component of these models is the decision-making (DM) process. While there have been studies on the decision-making processes publicized by OSS communities (e.g., through published process diagrams), little has been done to study decision-making processes that can be extracted using a bottom-up, data-driven approach, which can then be used to assess whether the publicized processes conform to the extracted processes. To bridge this gap, we undertook a large-scale data-driven study to understand how decisions are made in an OSSD community, using the case study of Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs), which embody decisions made during the evolution of the Python language. Our main contributions are:(a) the design and development of a framework using information retrieval and natural language processing techniques to analyze the Python email archives (comprising 1.48 million emails), and(b) the extraction of decision-making processes that reveal activities that are neither explicitly mentioned in documentation published by the Python community nor identified in prior research work. Our results provide insights into the actual decision-making process employed by the Python community.},

abstract = {The number of Open Source Software research papers has grown significantly over the last few years. An important open question is related with the investigation of how undergraduate students perceive the relevance of open source software literature. To address this question, we conducted a survey at University of Bras\'{\i}lia (UnB) where 500 undergraduate students were invited to rate the relevance of research ideas contained in papers that were published over a period of ten years. This paper attempts to investigate whether the Open Source Software research produces results considered relevant to undergraduate students. This way we can provide feedback from the students, offering a way to produce useful and, consequently, more disseminated works among Open Source practitioners. To answer about the relevance of available work, we have tackled two questions: one about the scope of the studies and another about the quality perceived by them. For the first one, a systematic mapping was conducted, revealing a set of works composed by a great diversity of results. Than, we applied a Survey in which students could evaluate the relevance of these gathered works. The available open source software research works seem to be very diverse and were considered useful for students that contribute to the Open Source Projects. 77.01% of respondents answered that research conducted in the Open Source Community is relevant and important to the community, as well as to their professional and academic lives.},

abstract = {The automatic and real-time recognition of the user's emotional state is a feature that can provide benefits for different areas of Human-Computer Interaction. The scientific literature presents several techniques that can be used to recognize the user's emotional state. However, many techniques involve the use of sensors that can result in financial costs and cause discomfort to the user. In this scenario, the recognition of the emotional state through the analysis of facial expressions presents itself as a useful and practical approach, since it does not involve the use of sensors attached to the user's body and executed in different types of devices. Despite these advantages, software that allow the analysis of facial expressions for free are still incipient, and performance evaluation of this type of software usually is not available. In order to contribute to this context and assist researchers who need this type of software, this study presents a comparative analysis of two open-source emotion recognition software ("CLMTrackr" and "Face-api.js") simulating different environmental conditions related to lighting and distance. Considering images from two datasets, we generate 8675 videos simulating 25 different environmental conditions. Our results indicate that the environmental conditions did not cause major impacts on the accuracy of the software, and CLMTrackr and Face-api.js, presented, respectively, 28% and 64% of average accuracy.},

As a result, system and software engineers require efficient methods to track defect identification and removal efforts during the software development lifecycle. To support such activities, we have developed a free and open source version of the SoftWare Error Estimation Program (SWEEP), named SweET (Software Defect Estimation Tool), which has not been publicly available to the software engineering community for several years. SWEEP's four modes have been simplified and combined into three modes namely, (i) timebased, (ii) phase-based, and (iii) defect insertion in SweET. Moreover, SweET uses the Weibull model, which is more flexible than the Rayleigh model included in SWEEP. Furthermore, the model fitting performed with least squares estimation in SWEEP has been replaced with an expectation conditional maximization (ECM) algorithm, which is both stable and efficient.},

Development of qualified and secured software products relies mainly on the ability of OSS participants to acquire, refine and use new aspects of secure programming knowledge. Many OSS proponents believe that the open source innovation offers significant learning opportunities from its best practices. However, studies that specifically explore learning of software security in the context of open source development are scarce. This paper aims to empirically assess present knowledge sharing and learning about secure programming knowledge in the context of OSS communities utilized a socio-technical approach on OSS projects based on an ethnographic observation. Our motivation is not only to evaluate the knowledge sharing and learning mechanisms and the extent to which they may be viable and successful but also to gain insight into the security culture and project factors that affect learning processes of secure programming in OSS communities.},

abstract = {A common refrain from Senior Exit Surveys and Alumni Surveys is the desire to work on "real-world," "practical" and "hands-on" projects using industry-ready tools and development environments. To assuage this, institutions have moved towards adopting Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) as an avenue to provide meaningful, applied learning interventions to students. Through these experiences, students benefit from engagement with various communities including: the community of contributors to the FOSS project; the community of local software developers; the community of citizens who reside in the local area; the community of students at their institution and others; and, the community of people impacted by the FOSS project. These engagements motivate students, enhance their communication and technical skills, allow them to grow and become more confident, help them form professional networks, and provide the "real-world" projects they seek. In this panel, we will discuss our experiences in engaging students with five different types of communities as part of incorporating FOSS into our courses, focusing on how other educators can provide the same benefits to their students as well.

The data were obtained both from the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), and from project-specific web resources, which we monitor on a continuous basis.From that data, we extracted a dataset that maps 624 publicly disclosed vulnerabilities affecting 205 distinct open-source Java projects, used in SAP products or internal tools, onto the 1282 commits that fix them. Out of 624 vulnerabilities, 29 do not have a CVE (Common Vulnerability and Exposure) identifier at all, and 46, which do have such identifier assigned by a numbering authority, are not available in the NVD yet.The dataset is released under an open-source license, together with supporting scripts that allow researchers to automatically retrieve the actual content of the commits from the corresponding repositories, and to augment the attributes available for each instance. Moreover, these scripts allow to complement the dataset with additional instances that are not security fixes (which is useful, for example, in machine learning applications).Our dataset has been successfully used to train classifiers that could automatically identify security-relevant commits in code repositories. The release of this dataset and the supporting code as open-source will allow future research to be based on data of industrial relevance; it also represents a concrete step towards making the maintenance of this dataset a shared effort involving open-source communities, academia, and the industry.},

This study investigates and characterizes an innovative eGovernment project, based on Open Source Software (OSS), that could be considered as an example of a Government 3.0 project. Therefore, we report from a case study of X-Road, an originally Estonian eGovernment project for creating a data sharing infrastructure, which today is also used in other countries. We present the main characteristics of X-Road from the point of view of Government 3.0, how the X-Road project is organized, compare its organization to other OSS projects, identify who contributes to the project, and point out what challenges are perceived by their stakeholders. We conclude offering some reflections on how X-Road and other Government 3.0 projects can benefit from OSS.},

In this paper, we deliver an analysis of our approach to transferring an open source driving stack to a research vehicle.

Specifically, we discuss the mapping of the Apollo driving stack to the system layout of our research vehicle, fortuna, including communication with the actuators by a controller running on a real-time hardware platform and the integration of the sensor setup. With our collection of the lessons learned, we encourage a faster setup of such systems by other research groups in the future.},

As a result, we discover that the statistical distribution of the number of developers corresponding to class files modification fellows approximately an exponential distribution. In addition, we analyze the features of function and structure of two kinds of class files and discover that both class files developed by developers who have too many modification behaviors to their projects and class files modified by too many developers tend to be more complex.

The analysis of open source community dynamics is a key capability in risk management practices focused on the integration of FLOSS in all types of organizations. We are conducting research in developing methodologies for managing risks of FLOSS adoption and deployment in various application domains. This paper is about the ability to systematically capture, filter, analyze, reason about, and build theories upon, the behavior of an open source community in combination with the structured elicitation of expert opinions on potential organizational business risk. The novel methodology presented here blends together qualitative and quantitative information as part of a wider analytics platform. The approach combines big data analytics with automatic scripting of scenarios that permits experts to assess risk indicators and business risks in focused tactical and strategic workshops. These workshops generate data that is used to construct Bayesian networks that map data from community risk drivers into statistical distributions that are feeding the platform risk management dashboard. A special feature of this model is that the dynamics of an open source community are tracked using social network metrics that capture the structure of unstructured chat data. The method is illustrated with a running example based on experience gained in implementing our approach in an academic smart environment setting including Mood bile, a Mobile Learning for Moodle (www.moodbile.org). This example is the first in a series of planned experiences in the domain of smart environments with the ultimate goal of deriving a complete risk model in that field.},

The results from growth curve analysis shows that the team emotional display decrease over time. This negative linear trend decelerates mid-term as suggested by a positive quadratic trend of time. Such deceleration diminishes toward the end as a negative cubic trend suggests.},

The panel represents industry and academia and its members have years of experience in the field. Specific questions that panelists will address, in addition to their position statements, are: What makes open source particularly attractive for educators and students'What are barriers to use?What areas of computer science and what levels of study are most appropriate for introducing open source?Finally, this panel takes a step back and looks at the broad issues associated with using that software in education. We will mention the specific details of releasing, curating, licensing and using open source software. But most of all this panel wants to explore how, for educators, open source works. We believe it is because open source fosters an ecosystem of collaborators who can pool resources and expertise to build new collaborative ways of solving hard research projects. We look forward to the contributions from the audience and energetic debate.},

abstract = {As the organizational use of open source software (OSS) increases, it requires the adjustment of organizational routines to manage new OSS risk. These routines may be influenced by community-developed open data standards to explicate, analyze, and report OSS risks. Open data standards are co-created in open communities for unifying the exchange of information. The SPDX® specification is such an open data standard to explicate and share OSS risk information. The development and subsequent adoption of SPDX raises the questions of how organizations make sense of SPDX when improving their own risk management routines, and of how a community benefits from the experiential knowledge that is contributed back by organizational adopters. To explore these questions, we conducted a single case, multi-component field study, connecting with members of organizations that employed SPDX. The results of this study contribute to understanding the development and adoption of open data standards within open source environments.},

abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) has become a strategic asset for a number of reasons, such as its short time-to-market software service and product delivery, reduced development and maintenance costs, introduction of innovative features and its customization capabilities. By 2016 an estimated 95% of all commercial software packages will include OSS components. This pervasive adoption is not without risks for an industry that has experienced significant failures in product quality, timelines and delivery costs. Exhaustive testing of any software system and, specifically, of open source software components is usually not feasible due to limitations in time and resources. In risk-based testing approach test cases are selected and scheduled based on software risk analysis. This research introduces the strategy of risk-based adaptive testing of OSS by combining information on the OSS community ecosystem with risk-driven tests selection and scheduling strategy. A key feature of the proposed approach is the monitoring and analysis of OSS community dynamics, including chats and email communications, blogs, repositories of bugs and fixes, and more. The community and its dynamics are then monitored to detect anomaly communication between the community members. Our approach is demonstrated in the XWiki OSS, a Java-based environment that allows for the storing of structured data and the execution of server side scripts within the wiki interface. We illustrate our concepts, methods and approach behind risk based testing.},

abstract = {Continuous integration (CI) emphasizes quick feedback to developers. This is at odds with current practice of performance testing, which predominantely focuses on long-running tests against entire systems in production-like environments. Alternatively, software microbenchmarking attempts to establish a performance baseline for small code fragments in short time. This paper investigates the quality of microbenchmark suites with a focus on suitability to deliver quick performance feedback and CI integration. We study ten open-source libraries written in Java and Go with benchmark suite sizes ranging from 16 to 983 tests, and runtimes between 11 minutes and 8.75 hours. We show that our study subjects include benchmarks with result variability of 50% or higher, indicating that not all benchmarks are useful for reliable discovery of slowdowns. We further artificially inject actual slowdowns into public API methods of the study subjects and test whether test suites are able to discover them. We introduce a performance-test quality metric called the API benchmarking score (ABS). ABS represents a benchmark suite's ability to find slowdowns among a set of defined core API methods. Resulting benchmarking scores (i.e., fraction of discovered slowdowns) vary between 10% and 100% for the study subjects. This paper's methodology and results can be used to (1) assess the quality of existing microbenchmark suites, (2) select a set of tests to be run as part of CI, and (3) suggest or generate benchmarks for currently untested parts of an API.},

Further, little is known about the barriers associated with the re-acquirement of lost knowledge types. There are many open questions, such as what are best practices and guidelines to retain knowledge lost by type while considering the relevant barriers. The main contribution of my research will be to provide an understanding of what type of knowledge is lost and its impact on the productivity of the contributor. Best practices and guidelines will also be contributed to retain knowledge lost by type and will be evaluated in FLOSS communities for their effectiveness.},

abstract = {Public organizations face difficulties in manipulating data essential for implementing efficient management, which compromises the quality of the services provided by these institutions. The use of Business Intelligence (BI) tools can contribute to the improvement of the organizational processes of these organizations. However, the high financial cost, in many cases, makes it impossible for public institutions to acquire proprietary BI solutions. An alternative is the use of solutions based on free and/or open source software. To identify, among the available OSS-based BI tools, which is the most appropriate for implementation in public bodies, it is necessary to apply some specific model for evaluation and selection. The literature describes several generic methods for assessing and comparing OSS. In this work, we select a suitable method and derive a model for the comparison and selection of OSS-based BI tools able to meet the demands of public organizations. In addition, through a case study, we demonstrate how this model can be used in the selection of a tool that can contribute to the improvement of information management in an organizational environment.},

abstract = {Although the use of open-source software (OSS) is a reality for information-technology companies, there has been little academic research on the factors impacting the process by which OSS is adopted, the way OSS is adopted, and the business models as employed. The TOE (Technology, Organization and Environment) framework has been used to study the influence of technological, organizational, and environmental factors considered by companies when adopting OSS. In this work, we collected data through online surveys answered by workers in IT companies in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The proposed model for determining the impact of each factor on the adoption of OSS and on the business model practiced by IT companies was evaluated by using structural equations. The results show that three groups of factors impact the way of OSS adoption. Organizational and technological factors are the most relevant, whereas for business models only environmental factors are relevant. The most relevant technological factor identified is "reduced hardware and software costs"; the most relevant organizational factor is "flexibility of IT structure"; and the most relevant environmental factor is "reports of successful use of OSS". We verified that IT companies in Minas Gerais use OSS in software development, either by incorporating OSS components into their software products or by employing OSS tools for software development.},

To do this, we participated as volunteers in the HistoryCal project. We used the case study research method to investigate technique application and community participation. We identified adverse conditions that were an obstacle to technique application and modified the technique to make it applicable. We can conclude from our experience that these changes were helpful for applying the technique, although it was not easy to recruit OSS users to participate in usability technique application.},

The introduction of open source tools such as Processing and Arduino has motivated a broader participation of technical and non-technical users in the creative production of interactive systems. Maker communities meet regularly and they share resources and knowledge for creative hacking, fun, and networking. In this context there are two main issues: on the one hand, software creation practices, based on collaboration and sharing, on the other hand, the respective end-user programming tools for artists, hobbyists or children. This tutorial presents a coherent overview of related work and our own experiences in the organization and running of maker workshops. It encompasses creative sessions whose final goal is to inspire the participants to experience open software practices and tools. This goal can divided into three sub-goals: 1) Technical (Interactivity, multimedia) 2) Artistic (poetic message, playful, experimental) 3) Open (sharing, reuse and participation). As a side effect of the study, the participants will cooperate and get to know each other and learn examples of new media prototyping tools and sharing platforms. The tutorial proposes a set of initial research questions which will challenge the participants to explore the relationship between Open Source Software and Entertainment.},

The results suggest that that there is no-one-size-fit-all to open source software adoption benefits to the public sector in different regions. The results also show that technical benefits, vendor independence and customization are considered to be important for open source software adoption in public sector organizations. While this suggests that public sector organizations perceive open source software as one step towards vendor independence, customization is considered a very important benefit of open source software adoption in Asia than is the case in America.},

abstract = {Development, distribution and use of open source software comprise a market of data (source code, bug reports, documentation, number of downloads, etc.) from projects, developers and users. This large amount of data hampers people to make sense of implicit links between software projects, e.g., Dependencies, patterns, licenses. This context raises the question of what techniques and mechanisms can be used to help users and developers to link related pieces of information across software projects. In this paper, we propose a framework for a marketplace enhanced using linked open data (LOD) technology for linking software artifacts within projects as well as across software projects. The marketplace provides the infrastructure for collecting and aggregating software engineering data as well as developing services for mining, statistics, analytics and visualization of software data. Based on cross linking software artifacts and projects, the marketplace enables developers and users to understand the individual value of components and their relationship to bigger software systems. Improved understanding creates new business opportunities for software companies: users will be able to analyze and compare projects, developers can increase the visibility of their products, and hosts may offer plugins and services over the data to paying customers.},

In this regard, organizations can benefit from the advantages of this kind of software, such as less cost and more flexibility. However, migration to open source software has its own risks, such as training of employee, lack of compatibility, and support. Reviewing numerous papers found in the literature, this study aims to collect a complete list of risks that may influence the open source migration process as much as possible. It also provides a new categorization of the risks by which each risk is classified based on its type (organizational, technical, and environmental), and its time of occurrence (before, during, and after migration). Moreover, this paper proposes a number of conceivable measures to mitigate each risk; some of them are proposed for the first time in this area of research. The results of this study can help organizations' decision makers to make better decisions in the open source migration process.},

abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) development is distributed across actors and artifacts and involves translating diffuse representations into distinct sets of contiguous code artifacts. Despite the highly distributed and dynamic nature of OSS development, it is often described in unitary, monolithic terms - an unfortunate situation which masks considerable variance across OSS development processes. Therefore we explore reasons for systematic variance in these processes so as to enable more effective OSS development practices. Drawing on theory of distributed cognition, we develop a language of cognitive translations, which occur within and across distributed social arrangements and structural conditions of sharing knowledge. This language provides micro-foundations for understanding how different modes of OSS development emerge. Through examining how generative characteristics of social and structural distributions in OSS shape distinct development pathways, we propose a theoretically derived typology explaining the characteristics, dynamics, and conditions for success of different modes of OSS development.},

abstract = {Nowadays, many software projects are partially or completely open-source based. There is an increasing need for companies to participate in open-source software (OSS) projects, e.g., in order to benefit from open source ecosystems. OSS projects introduce particular challenges that have to be understood in order to gain the benefits. One such challenge is getting newcomers onboard into the projects effectively. Similar challenges may be present in other self-organised, virtual team environments. In this paper we present preliminary observations and results of in-progress research that studies the process of on boarding into virtual OSS teams. The study is based on a program created and conceived at Stanford University in conjunction with Facebook's Education Modernization program. It involves the collaboration of more than a dozen international universities and nine open source projects. More than 120 students participated in 2013. The students have been introduced to and supported by mentors experienced in the participating OSS projects. Our findings indicate that mentoring is an important factor for effective on boarding in OSS projects, promoting cohesion within distributed teams and maintaining an appropriate pace.},

abstract = {The Eclipse open source ecosystem has grown from a small internal IBM project to one of the biggest Integrated Development Environments in the market. Open source communities and ecosystems do not follow the standard governance strategies typically used in large organizations. A meritocracy is a frequently occurring form of governance on different levels in open ecosystems. In this paper we investigate how this form of governance influences the health of projects within the Eclipse ecosystem in terms of the amount of commits within each month. We analyzed the hierarchy of Eclipse, how merits are conceptualized within the ecosystem and the effect of the appointments of mentors and project leads on the amount of commits. From our research, we can conclude that this system is not always as fair as it seems; merits are only a benefit in some cases.},

Students also need to understand the critical need for excellent communication both within development teams as well as with customers, managers, and other stakeholders. Student participation in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects provides an opportunity for students to gain a range of software engineering knowledge and skills via interaction with software professionals. However, many FOSS projects have minimal or incomplete documentation and frequently the documentation that does exist lacks organization.

OSS communities do not generally know how to apply usability techniques and are unclear about which techniques to use in each activity of the development process. The aim of our research is to adopt the Personas usability technique in the PSeInt OSS project and determine the feasibility of adapting the technique for application. To do this, we participated as volunteers in the project. We used the case study research method during technique application and participation in the community. As a result, we identified adverse conditions that were an obstacle to technique application and modified the technique to make it applicable. We can conclude from our experience that these changes were helpful for applying the technique, although it was not easy to recruit OSS users to participate in usability technique application.},

abstract = {In aerospace engineering, as well as in many other disciplines, many software tools are developed. Often, it is hard to get an overview of already existing software. Sometimes this leads to multiple development of software, if nobody is able to determine whether a software for a specific tasks exist already or not. Therefore, in companies and organizations there is a need for a directory of exiting software. The German Aerospace Center has built such a directory based on the Open Source software Allura, which is the base software that drives the Open Source hosting platform SourceForge.net. Allura has been customized to the needs of the aerospace domain. The result is a software portal for the aerospace research community, that allow to register and categorize software. It is intendend to be used both for Open Source and proprietary software. Employees of the German Aerospace Center as well as the public can search for existing software. This reduces the amount of software developed twice and allows to get in touch with colleagues who developed similar software.},

Test results are automatically published to a format capable of being consumed by script catalogues and social coding sites. This would serve as an independent signal of script trustworthiness and quality to script consumers and would allow developers to be made quickly aware of quality issues. As a result, potential consumers of scripts can be assured that a script is likely to work when applied to their particular environment. Script developers can be notified of compatibility issues and take steps to address them.},

This paper explores ways to engage these individuals to contribute to free/open source software (FOSS) projects. We conducted a pilot diary study to explore motivations, barriers, and the contribution processes of first-time contributors in a real time, qualitative manner. In addition, we measured their self-efficacy before and after their participation. We found that what drove participants were intrinsic motivations, altruism, and internal values, which differed from previous work with older adults and with the general FOSS population. We also found that self-efficacy did not change significantly, even when participants encountered significant barriers or setbacks. The top 3 barriers were lack of communication, installation issues, and documentation issues. We found that asking for and receiving help, and avoiding difficult development environments were more likely to lead to success. To verify these results, we encourage a future large-scale diary study that involves multiple demographics. Given our pilot study, we recommend that future outreach efforts involving older adults focus on how to effectively communicate and build community amongst older contributors.},

abstract = {Community-based Open Source Software (OSS) projects are usually self-organized and dynamic, receiving contributions from distributed volunteers. These communities' survival, long-term success, and continuity demand a constant influx of newcomers. However, newcomers face many barriers when making their first contribution to an OSS project, leading in many cases to dropouts. Therefore, a major challenge for OSS projects is to provide ways to support newcomers during their first contribution. In this paper, our goal was to evaluate how the newcomers' perceived efficacy is influenced by the use of an environment that organizes the project information for developers who want to place their first contribution to an OSS project. To accomplish this goal, we created FLOSS coach, a portal aiming to support newcomers to OSS projects, which was implemented based on a model of barriers proposed in previous research. Then, we conducted a study, in which 46 students, split in case and control group, were asked to contribute to an OSS project. We assessed the newcomers' self-efficacy by conducting a questionnaire before and after the assignment. We found that presenting the information according to the model of barriers had a positive influence on newcomers' self-efficacy, empowered the newcomers, making them more confident and comfortable during the contribution process. However, there is also some indication that FLOSS coach did not lower the technical barriers.},

With FOSS emerged the freedom to run the programs for any purpose, freedom to study and modify the software, freedom to copy the software and share with neighbors and freedom to improve the program and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits. This paper makes a case for these freedoms. The paper first compares PS and FOSS use in Ghana and proposes a way for government to adopt FOSS.

Open source communities offer exciting new application opportunities for extracting norms since such communities involve developers from different geographical regions, background and cultures. Investigating the types of norms that exist in open source projects and their efficacy i.e. the usage of norms in enabling smoother functioning however has not received much attention from the normative multi-agent systems NorMAS community. This paper makes two contributions in this regard. First, it presents norm compliance results from a case study involving three open source Java projects. Second, it presents an architecture for mining norms from open source projects. It also discusses the opportunities presented by the domain of software repositories for the study of norms. In particular, it points towards how norms can be mined by leveraging and extending prior work in the areas of Normative Multi-Agent Systems NorMAS and mining software repositories.},

These challenges of understanding and evolving existing code can be illustrated in academic settings by leveraging the rich and varied volume of Open Source Software (OSS) code. To teach SE with OSS, however, it is necessary to select uniform projects of appropriate size and complexity. This paper reports on our search for suitable OSS projects to teach an introductory SE course with a focus on maintenance and evolution. The search turned out to be quite labor intensive and cumbersome, contrary to our expectations that it would be quick and simple. The chosen projects successfully demonstrated the maintenance challenges, highlighting the promise of using OSS. The burden of selecting projects, however, may impede widespread integration of OSS into SE and other computing courses.},

publisher = {IEEE Press},
abstract = {From its very inception, the study of software architecture has recognized architectural decay as a regularly occurring phenomenon in long-lived systems. Architectural decay is caused by repeated changes to a system during its lifespan. Despite decay's prevalence, there is a relative dearth of empirical data regarding the nature of architectural changes that may lead to decay, and of developers' understanding of those changes. In this paper, we take a step toward addressing that scarcity by conducting an empirical study of changes found in software architectures spanning several hundred versions of 14 open-source systems. Our study reveals several new findings regarding the frequency of architectural changes in software systems, the common points of departure in a system's architecture during maintenance and evolution, the difference between system-level and component-level architectural change, and the suitability of a system's implementation-level structure as a proxy for its architecture.},

abstract = {There exists two types of developers in Open Source Software (OSS) projects: 1) Committers who have permission to commit edited source code to the Version Control System (VCS), 2) Developers who contribute source code but cannot commit to the VCS directly. In order to develop and evolve high quality OSS, projects are always in search of new committers. OSS projects often promote strong developers to become committers. When existing committers find strong developers, they propose their promotion to a committer role. Delaying the committer-promotion might lead to strong developers departing from an OSS project and the project losing them. However early committer-promotion comes with its own slew of risks as well (e.g., the promotion of inexperienced developers). Hence, committer-promotion decisions are critical for the quality and successful evolution of OSS projects. In this paper, we examine the committer-promotion phenomena for two OSS projects (Eclipse and Firefox). We find that the amount of activities by future committers was higher than the amount of activities by developers who did not become committers). We also find that some developers are promoted to a committer role very rapidly (within a few month) while some of developers take over one year to become a committer. Finally, we develop a committer-identification model to assist OSS projects identifying future committers.},

abstract = {<u>Context:</u> Gaining an identity and building a good reputation are important motivations for Open Source Software (OSS) developers. It is unclear whether these motivations have any actual impact on OSS project success. <u>Goal:</u> To identify how an OSS developer's reputation affects the outcome of his/her code review requests. <u>Method:</u> We conducted a social network analysis (SNA) of the code review data from eight popular OSS projects. Working on the assumption that core developers have better reputation than peripheral developers, we developed an approach, Core Identification using K-means (CIK) to divide the OSS developers into core and periphery groups based on six SNA centrality measures. We then compared the outcome of the code review process for members of the two groups. <u>Results:</u> The results suggest that the core developers receive quicker first feedback on their review request, complete the review process in shorter time, and are more likely to have their code changes accepted into the project codebase. Peripheral developers may have to wait 2 - 19 times (or 12 - 96 hours) longer than core developers for the review process of their code to complete. <u>Conclusion:</u> We recommend that projects allocate resources or create tool support to triage the code review requests to motivate prospective developers through quick feedback.},

abstract = {Cloud environments have been increasingly used to deploy and run software while providing a high level performance with a low operating cost. Most of the existing software applications are nowadays distributed as Package-based Free and Open Source (PFOS) applications. Different requirements must be considered while configuring PFOS software. These requirements can be classified into two classes: dependency and capacity requirements.In this paper, we proposed a novel approach to ensure the correctness of elastic composite PFOS applications. Our approach is based on Event-B and combines proof-based models with model checking to provide a more complete verification. It starts by abstractly specifying the main concepts of PFOS software, and then refining them through multiple steps to model the elastic composite PFOS software and its correctness requirements. The consistency of each model and the relationship between an abstract model and its refinements are obtained by formal proofs. Finally, we used the ProB model-checker to trace possible design errors.},

We empirically investigate different types of conflict in Free and Open Source Software development teams, their antecedents and impact on developers&' sustained participation. Following a survey of 222 FOSS developers, we find conflict to have an overall negative effect on developer retention. Furthermore, different types of conflict have varying impact on outcomes. In particular, only normative conflict levels negatively impact intention to remain in a FOSS project. Both normative and process conflict negatively affect perceptions of team performance, while the co-occurrence of task and process conflict exacerbate negative effects on outcomes. Though we find structural factors like task interdependence and geographical distribution increase overall conflict levels in FOSS teams, participatory decision-making and a transformational leadership style have an ameliorating effect. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.},

abstract = {While in early years, software technology companies such as IBM and Novell invested time and resources in open source software (OSS) development, today even user firms (e.g., Samsung) invest in OSS development. Thus, today’s professional OSS projects receive contributions from hobbyists, universities, research centers, as well as software vendors and user firms. Theorists have referred to this kind of combined public and private investments in innovation creation as private-collective innovation. In particular, the private-collective innovation model seeks to explain why firms privately invest resources to create artifacts that share the characteristics of non-rivalry and non-excludability. The aim of this research is to investigate how different contributor groups associated with public and increasing private interests interact in an OSS development project. The results of the study show that the balance between private and collective contributors in the Linux kernel development seems to be changing to an open source project that is mostly developed jointly by private companies.},

abstract = {Software quality is one of the main goals of effective programming. Although it has a quite ambiguous meaning, quality can be measured by several metrics, which have been appropriately formulated through the years. Software measurement is a particularly important procedure, as it provides meaningful information about the software artifact. This procedure is even more emerging when we refer to open source software, where the need for shared knowledge is crucial for the maintenance and evolution of the code. A paradigm of open source project where code quality is especially important is the scientific language R. This paper aims to perform measurements on the R statistical open source software, examine the relationships among the observed metrics and special attributes of the R software and search for certain characteristics that define its behavior and structure. For this purpose, a random sample of 508 R packages has been downloaded from the CRAN repository of R and has been measured, using the SourceMonitor metrics tool. The resulted measurements, along with a significant number of specific attributes of the R packages, were examined and analyzed, leading to interesting conclusions such as the validity of a power law distribution regarding the majority of the sample's metrics and the absence of specific patterns due to the interdependencies among packages. Finally, the effects of the number of developers and the number of dependencies are investigated, in order to understand their impact on the metrics of the sample packages.},

We have collected five years data from the developers mail list communication and task manager (Jira) discussions of Hadoop Common project. We observed the users' communication, identifying newcomers and classifying questions and answers content. For the study conducted, less than 20% of newcomers became long term contributors. There are evidences that the withdrawal is influenced by the respondents and by the type of response received. However, the lack of answer was not evidenced as a factor that influences newcomers withdrawal in the project.},

Numeouus SRGMs have been proposed to estimate the reliability of the software of OSSs; however, no one has proven to perform very well considering diverse project characteristics. In the models for OSSs, the error deletion experience for the reused and the newly developed components based on component-specific testing-effort is demonstrated. It is considered that there are several different types of faults for newly developed component and single type of faults for reused components for obtaining the unambiguous expressions for the mean number of individual types of errors. For OSSs system components testing-efforts have to be modeled separately for each and every component in the system. The total effort of the system is then calculated from the summation of component-specific testing-effort functions. We have employed MATLAB as implementation framework for performing all the estimations. Our approach partitions the testing effort with growth curves of varying nature among different components of the same OSS. To validate our analytical results, numerical illustrations have also been provided.},

abstract = {Comprehension of Open Source Software (OSS) projects is traditionally driven by the plethora of data produced and maintained by these projects. The data, in one hand, encapsulates the tacit knowledge on the evolution of the software itself. And, on the other hand, provides the history of communication and collaboration of the community. Acquisition and analysis of such data has been mostly manual or semi-automated and error-prone, mainly due to unstructured and substandard data representation. This increases the validity threat of the reported results and makes it incomparable across the studies. With the advancement of data management tools and technologies, many third party data providers are putting serious effort to provide OSS project's data in a standard and platform independent format. In this paper, we propose a framework to fully automate the analysis and visualization of OSS evolution data through the use of existing data services. As a proof of concept we implemented a tool named POMAZ. We demonstrate the applicability of the tool in the context of two related open source projects FFmpeg and GStreamer.},

For each non-free loop the various inhibitors (to parallelization) are determined and counted. The results show that function calls within for-loops represent the vast majority of inhibitors and thus pose the greatest roadblock to adapt and re-engineer systems to better utilize parallelization. This is somewhat contradictory to the literature, which is focused primarily on the removal of data dependencies within loops. Additionally, the historical data of inhibitor counts for the set of systems is presented over a ten-year period. The data shows few of the systems examined are increasing the potential to parallelizable loops over time.},

abstract = {The majority of computer users download compiled software and run it directly on their machine. Apparently, this is also true for open-sourced software -- most users would not compile the available source, and implicitly trust that the available binaries have been compiled from the published source code (i.e., no backdoor has been inserted in the binary). To verify that the official binaries indeed correspond to the released source, one can compile the source of a given application, and then compare the locally generated binaries with the developer-provided official ones. However, such simple verification is non-trivial to achieve in practice, as modern compilers, and more generally, toolchains used in software packaging, have not been designed with verifiability in mind. Rather, the output of compilers is often dependent on parameters that can be strongly tied to the building environment. In this paper, we analyze a widely-used encryption tool, TrueCrypt, to verify its official binary with the corresponding source. We first manually replicate a close match to the official binaries of sixteen most recent versions of TrueCrypt for Windows up to v7.1a, and then explain the remaining differences that can solely be attributed to non-determinism in the build process. Our analysis provides the missing guarantee on official binaries that they are indeed backdoor-free, and makes audits on TrueCrypt's source code more meaningful. Also, we uncover several sources of non-determinism in TrueCrypt's compilation process; these findings may help create future verifiable build processes.},

abstract = {The community-based open source software (OSS) development model has emerged as a viable alternative to firm-based traditional software development. The naturally evolving structure of collaborative relationships among software developers is a major distinction between the OSS development model and the traditional development model. Conventional statistical methods that focus on individual cases and their attributes cannot properly inform the management of the naturally evolving collaborative relationships in open source project. We emphasize social network analysis as a method especially suitable for management of open source development projects, because it focuses on relations among individuals rather than attributes of individual cases. We show how open source development can be represented as a collaboration network graph and how the network can be characterized by various network structure metrics. We present four metrics as a starting point--size, centralization, density and clusterness, that are most useful in revealing collaborative relationships in OSS development process. We discuss how to generate collaboration network for OSS projects and how to calculate the metrics. We further describe how these metrics can assist in effective management of open source software development process. We conclude by presenting preliminary empirical evidence in support of the metrics.},

Although the benefits of improving computing education with open source practices are largely acknowledged, transforming teaching to create effective learning environments has many challenges. The panelists will bring different perspectives on teaching strategies and curricular content they have used in their classrooms.

abstract = {Popularity of open source software (OSS) projects has spiked an interest in the requirements engineering (RE) practices of such communities that are starkly different from those in traditional software development projects. Past work has focused on characterizing the main differences between OSS and traditional forms of software RE. In this effort we focus on differences in RE activity in OSS. RE is characterized as a socio-technical distributed cognitive (DCog) activity where multiple actors deploy artifacts to 'compute' requirements. To uncover how OSS projects configure the socio-technical distribution of cognitive processes to respond to varying attributes of incoming requirements we conduct a comparative analysis of four successful OSS projects. We observe that the volume of requirements faced by an OSS group dictates largely the nature of its social formation while the volatility experienced in the requirements dictates the overlap the project exhibits with the larger external community. Finally the velocity of change in technological requirements influence the project's documentation practices of requirements with the level of design consistency desired in the end product influencing the decision-making channels used in the development endeavor.},

In Open Source Software projects, despite a variety of efforts to increase diversity and multi-gendered participation, women are even more underrepresented (less than 10%). My research focuses on answering the question: How can OSS communities increase women's participation in OSS projects? I will identify the different OSS career pathways, and develop a holistic view of women's motivations to join or leave OSS, along with their definitions of success. Based on this empirical investigation, I will work together with the Linux Foundation to design attraction and retention strategies focused on women. Before and after implementing the strategies, I will conduct empirical studies to evaluate the state of the practice and understand the implications of the strategies.},

abstract = {Popular Open Source Software (OSS) development platforms like GitHub, Google Code, and Bitbucket take advantage of some best practices of traditional software development like version control and issue tracking. Current major open source software environments, including IDE tools and online code repositories, do not provide support for visual architecture modeling. Research has shown that visual modeling of complex software projects has benefits throughout the software lifecycle. Then why is it that software architecture modeling is so conspicuously missing from popular online open source code repositories? How can including visual documentation improve the overall quality of open source software projects? Our goal is to answer both of these questions and bridge the gap between traditional software engineering best practices and open source development by applying a software architecture documentation methodology using Unified Modeling Language, called 5W1H Re-Doc, on a real open source project for managing identity and access, MITREid Connect. We analyze the effect of a model-driven software engineering approach on collaboration of open source contributors, quality of specification conformance, and state-of-the-art of architecture modeling. Our informal experiment revealed that in some cases, having the visual documentation can significantly increase comprehension of an online OSS project over having only the textual information that currently exists for that project.},

abstract = {In the mid 90s, a new style of software development, termed open source software (OSS) has emerged and has originated large, mature, stable, and widely used software projects. As software continues to grow in size and complexity, so do development teams. Consequently, coordination and communication within these teams play larger roles in productivity and software quality. My dissertation focuses on the relationships between developers in large open source projects and how software affects and is affected by these relationships. Fortunately, source code repository histories, mailing list archives, and bug databases from OSS projects contain latent data from which we can reconstruct a rich view of a project over time and analyze these sociotechnical relationships. We present methods of obtaining and analyzing this data as well as the results of empirical studies whose goal is to answer questions that can help stakeholders understand and make decisions about their own teams. We answer questions such as "Do large OSS project really have a disorganized bazaar-like structure__ __" "What is the relationship between social and development behavior in OSS__ __" "How does one progress from a project newcomer to a full-fledged, core developer__ __" and others in an attempt to understand how large, successful OSS projects work and also to contrast them with projects in commercial settings.},

abstract = {Continuous Integration (CI) has become a common practice in both industrial and open-source software development. While CI has evidently improved aspects of the software development process, errors during CI builds pose a threat to development efficiency. As an increasing amount of time goes into fixing such errors, failing builds can significantly impair the development process and become very costly. We perform an in-depth analysis of build failures in CI environments. Our approach links repository commits to data of corresponding CI builds. Using data from 14 open-source Java projects, we first identify 14 common error categories. Besides test failures, which are by far the most common error category (up to >80% per project), we also identify noisy build data, e.g., induced by transient Git interaction errors, or general infrastructure flakiness. Second, we analyze which factors impact the build results, taking into account general process and specific CI metrics. Our results indicate that process metrics have a significant impact on the build outcome in 8 of the 14 projects on average, but the strongest influencing factor across all projects is overall stability in the recent build history. For 10 projects, more than 50% (up to 80%) of all failed builds follow a previous build failure. Moreover, the fail ratio of the last k=10 builds has a significant impact on build results for all projects in our dataset.},

In this paper, we examined the contribution characteristics of developers in open source environment based on visual analysis, and presented approaches from three aspects-influencing factors, time characteristics and region characteristics. Our analysis used data from github and revealed some regular patterns. We found that the code which newcomers started to contribute with more people engaged in would lead to less contribution in some degree. We also found that there's a relation between developers' early and later period contribution. In addition, developers from different regions were more likely to have dominant relationship. Our findings may provide some support for future research in the area of software evolution.},

abstract = {Software Engineering (SE) projects that emphasize maintenance and evolution can emulate industrial challenges and prepare students for careers in the software industry. Designing maintenance-centric SE projects, however, is difficult because software code upon which these projects must be based is not readily available. Open Source Software (OSS) can alleviate this issue by offering a rich and varied volume of code. This rich diversity of OSS projects, however, presents the greatest hurdle in seamlessly selecting suitable projects for integration. To better understand the scope of this diversity, initially, we propose to manually select uniformly difficult projects of appropriate complexity. Ultimately, based on the experiences and insights acquired through the manual selection, we envision the development of a systematic methodology based on software metrics to ease the project selection process. Such a systematic methodology will pave the way for the adoption of the OSS-based approach at peer institutions, bringing us a step closer to injecting realism into SE projects.},

What strategies are adopted by the sponsor to influence the organizational structure of free software communities? Two constructs are central to the study: organizational structure and sponsorship. For this research, we adopted case study methodology and three free software communities were studied. In the analysis of the results it was evidenced that sponsors influence decision making, definition of community key roles, and a formalization of norms. In turn, non-sponsored communities were characterized by the centralization and informality of the norms. We conclude that differences were identified in the organizational structure of sponsored and non-sponsored free software communities, and this differentiation was influenced by sponsors. In addition, it was possible to describe strategies and mechanisms used by sponsors to influence the community organizational structure.},

This participative approach had a clear impact in the case project as seen in changes in the user interface and in improved usability. The challenge of adapting usability and OSS development philosophies and practices should, however, be researched further.},

We first analyze the general structure of the social networks, e.g., graph distances and the degree distribution of the social networks. Our analysis confirms that the social networks of OSS communities follow power-law degree distributions and exhibit small-world characteristics. However, the degree mixing pattern shows that high degree nodes tend to connect more with low degree nodes, suggesting collaborations between experts and newbie developers. Second, we study the correlation between graph degrees and the productivity of the contributors in terms of the amount of contribution and commitment to OSS projects. The analysis demonstrates evident influence of the social ties on the developers' overall productivity.},

abstract = {Newcomers' seamless onboarding is important for online communities that depend upon leveraging the contribution of outsiders. Previous studies investigated aspects of the joining process and motivation in open collaboration communities, but few have focused on identifying and understanding the critical barriers newcomers face when placing their first contribution, a period that frequently leads to dropout. This is important for Open Source Software (OSS) projects, which receive contributions from many one-time contributors. Focusing on OSS, our study qualitatively analyzed social barriers that hindered newcomers' first contributions. We defined a conceptual model composed of 58 barriers including 13 social barriers. The barriers were identified from a qualitative data analysis considering different sources: a systematic literature review; open question responses gathered from OSS projects' contributors; students contributing to OSS projects; and semi-structured interviews with 36 developers from 14 different projects. This paper focuses on social barriers and its contributions include gathering empirical evidence of the barriers faced by newcomers, organizing and better understanding these barriers, surveying the literature from the perspective of the barriers, and identifying new potential research streams.},

abstract = {When newcomers try to join an open source soft-ware (OSS) project, they face many barriers that hinder their first contribution, leading in many cases to their dropping out. Many projects leverage the contribution of outsiders, and the sustainability of the project relies on retaining some of these new-comers. This research aims to identify the barriers that hinder newcomers' onboarding to OSS projects. Our method consisted of a qualitative study conducted with data obtained from four different sources: (i) systematic literature review, (ii) feedback from nine graduate and undergraduate students after they tried to join OSS projects, (iii) 24 responses to a questionnaire sent to 9 OSS projects, and (iv) semi-structured interviews with 36 sub-jects from 14 different projects, including newcomers and experi-enced members. The method to select the candidate papers in the systematic literature review was querying four digital libraries and backward snowballing. The data obtained from the practi-tioners from all three sources, and the primary studies obtained in the systematic review were analyzed using used procedures of Grounded Theory's open and axial coding. The analysis resulted in a conceptual model composed of 58 barriers, grouped into six different categories: cultural differences, newcomers' characteris-tics, reception issues, orientation, technical hurdles, and docu-mentation problems. We could observe recurrent barriers evi-denced in different data sources. We could notice that the onboarding process of a newcomer to an OSS can be a tough task. This research brings empirical support relying on data from different sources, organizes and discusses the existing common wisdom about barriers faced by newcomers to OSS projects, which deserve attention from researchers and OSS communities.},

abstract = {The focus of this paper is to review what is known about free and open source software development (FOSSD) work practices, development processes, project and community dynamics, and other socio-technical relationships. It focuses on exploring how FOSS is developed and evolved based on an extensive review of a set of empirical studies of FOSSD projects that articulate different levels of analysis. These characterize what has been analyzed in FOSSD studies across levels that examine (i) why individuals participate; (ii) resources and capabilities supporting development activities; (iii) how cooperation, coordination, and control are realized in projects; (iv) alliance formation and inter-project social networking; (v) FOSS as a multi-project software ecosystem, and (vi) FOSS as a social movement. Next, there is a discussion of limitations and constraints in the FOSSD studies so far. Last, attention shifts to identifying emerging opportunities for future FOSSD studies that can give rise to the development of new software engineering tools or techniques, as well as to new empirical studies of software development.},

They provide a pulse of the community and are valuable source material for grey literature analysis. We curated a dataset of 24,669 talks from 87 open-source conferences between 2010 and 2021. We stored all relevant metadata from these conferences and provide scripts to collect the transcripts. We believe this data is useful for answering many kinds of questions, such as: What are the important/highly discussed topics within practitioner communities? How do practitioners interact? And how do they present themselves to the public? We demonstrate the usefulness of this data by reporting our findings from two small studies: a topic model analysis providing an overview of open-source community dynamics since 2011 and a qualitative analysis of a smaller community-oriented sample within our dataset to gain a better understanding of why contributors leave open-source software.},

abstract = {The amount of open-source-software (OSS) used in the global software engineering community is already enormous and still growing. This includes both the products we develop and the development tools we use to create them. It is meanwhile rare to find examples of products that do not contain open source components. Although, using open source components in products does have many advantages, it is very important that one also manages the use of the open source components in a license-compliant way.A set of companies and other organizations who either offer or use OSS-based license compliance tools have recently formed the "Open Source Tooling Group". This international group works on establishing an ecosystem of OSS-based tools for license compliance that fit together well and can offer an ecosystem of tools for organizations to help fulfill their license compliance obligations.This talk provides the motivation and overview of this topic describing the relevance to software engineering practitioners. It will close by highlighting some of the research areas where further improvements could be done in this fast-growing field.},

abstract = {Free/Open source software (FOSS) is an important part of the IT ecosystem. Due to the voluntary nature of participation, continual recruitment is key to the growth and sustainability of these communities. It is therefore important to understand how and why potential contributors fail in the process of transitioning from user to contributor. Most newcomers, or "newbies", have their first interaction with a community through a mailing list. To understand how this first contact influences future interactions, we studied eight mailing lists across four FOSS projects: MediaWiki, GIMP, PostgreSQL, and Subversion. We analyzed discussions initiated by newbies to determine the effect of gender, nationality, politeness, helpfulness and timeliness of response. We found that nearly 80% of newbie posts received replies, and that receiving timely responses, especially within 48 hours, was positively correlated with future participation. We also found that while the majority of interactions were positive, 1.5% of responses were rude or hostile.},

abstract = {Microblogging as an emerging social media technology is becoming increasingly popular in more and more OSS communities and forms various follower networks. However, the impacts of microblogging follower network on OSS project success are rarely studied. In this study, we adopt a social network perspective to identify and hypothesize that three microblogging network mechanisms will positively affect OSS project success through knowledge sharing, and attracting more skillful and eminent developers. Using longitudinal data from a large online OSS community called Ohloh, we empirically examine the impacts of various factors for these two type of mechanisms on the commercial and technological successes of OSS projects. We found that preferential attachment and structure hole factors are supported, while accumulative advantage factors are partially supported. Our findings may provide insights for OSS stakeholders to effectively manage microblogging techniques for achieving project success.},

abstract = {As reported by Kevin Crowston and co-authors in a recent paper, free open source software is a very important social phenomenon that involves nearly one million programmers, a myriad of software development firms, millions of users, and its financial impact is huge since for instance the cost of recreating available free software is estimated in tens of billions of euros. Free open source software projects generally have one mailing list for developers and another one for users. This large number of mailing lists changes constantly and shows a great variety with respect to membership and topics covered. This makes them very difficult to monitor. One way of overcoming this Big Data Challenge is to identify some easily computable global indicators that can be used for instance to detect important events. We illustrate this approach here by making a social network analysis and comparison of developers' and users' mailing lists of four free open source software projects: CentOS, GnuPG, Mailman and Samba. We show that these mailing lists have some common characteristics: the number of messages, the time durations and the interlink times can be fitted using power and lognormal laws with suitable scales and parameters, for the interlink time, the analysis is done using the temporal delta density inspired by the delta density introduced by Viard and Latapy. This similarity between the characteristics of mailing lists also applies to the structure of dominant groups. For the time evolution of the number of messages, GnuPG exhibits a particular behavior. The interpretation of the different parameters gives very interesting insights into the membership and the type of topics covered by the mailing lists. The analysis carried out here and similar studies cited in this paper can therefore be considered as a first step towards the designing of building blocks for monitoring mailing lists.},

These findings were explored through an in-depth analysis of interaction episodes on the email list, archival public interview data of women FLOSS developers, FLOSS development environment, and instructive materials shared in public.

Using cross-sectional and longitudinal data on a sample of 108 open source projects, this research investigated how the complexity of open source project releases varied throughout the life of the project. Functional data analysis was applied to the release histories of the projects and recurring evolutionary patterns were derived. There were projects that saw little evolution, according to their measures of size and structural complexity. However, projects that displayed some evolution often differed on the pattern of evolution depending on whether size or structural complexity was examined. Factors that contribute to and result from the patterns of complexity were evaluated, and implications for research and practice are presented.},

We then evaluate how FLOSS has been used, up to now, by papers published in the Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering. Finally, we present an agenda for the future, proposing concrete ways to exploit the synergies between research and education in Software Engineering and FLOSS projects.},

A major feature of this kind of software is its development in public, where the collective intelligence (CI) is applied and the knowledge is shared. The communication is a fundamental activity to these settings of development. To support the communication process, knowledge management (KM) stimulates the communication and the information sharing among people. This way, a good communication among users that are stimulated and coordinated addresses the final quality of the open source project. This work surveys how KM stimulates quality assurance in developing open source settings. It focuses on users, on the communication among them, and on the documentation they can help to write.},

abstract = {The voluntary and computer mediated nature of FOSS work presents unique challenges and opportunities for effective collaboration. Conflict is one such challenge, magnified by the distributed nature of work and limited communication channels. Though conflict is recognized as an important social process in FOSS development teams, few studies have adequately addressed this issue. Drawing on theoretical frameworks in organizational behavior and social psychology, her dissertation investigates how conflict arises in voluntary distributed virtual teams such as FOSS, and its impact on group function. The work first explores the emergence and experience of conflict during the life cycle of a project. Different types and sources of conflict are identified, as well as their relationship with group outcomes. Various conflict types are expected to affect group function differently: some conflict sources may present a challenge, while others may prove necessary for successful group function. The dissertation expands theory and research on distributed work, in examining on-going processes of conflict in voluntary teams. This work also informs community design, as understanding conflict antecedents in voluntary virtual teams aids in reducing unproductive conflict and facilitates conflict that spurs innovation.},

Our results indicate that FOSS project members possess rather sophisticated notions of software usability, which collectively mirror definitions commonly found in HCI textbooks. Our study also uncovered a wide range of practices that ultimately work to improve software usability. Importantly, these activities are typically based on close, direct interpersonal relationships between developers and their core users, a group of users who closely follow the project and provide high quality, respected feedback. These relationships, along with positive feedback from other users, generate social rewards that serve as the primary motivations for attending to usability issues on a day-to-day basis. These findings suggest a need to reconceptualize HCI methods to better fit this culture of practice and its corresponding value system.},

abstract = {Most of the current swarm model studies and applications try to mimic the collective behaviors of social animals, such as birds and ants. The studies seek to solve tasks similar to patterns and behaviors exhibited in those animal colonies. In this research, we demonstrated that the swarm model is also the major collaboration and organization model of Open Source Software (OSS) developer communities. OSS developers swarm together and spend their time attempting to achieve their relatively simple goals, while their contributions emerged as a collection of useful and sophisticated functionality that can compete with commercial software. The results discovered in this research will be helpful in demonstrating that the swarm model can not only be considered as a feasible approach to classical optimization problems, but can also be applied to constructing highly sophisticated systems.},

abstract = {Structural dependencies have long been explored in the context of software quality. More recently, software evolution researchers have investigated logical dependencies between artifacts to assess failure-proneness, detect design issues, infer code decay, and predict likely changes. However, the interplay between these two kinds of dependencies is still obscure. By mining 150 thousand commits from the Apache Software Foundation repository and employing object-oriented metrics reference values, we concluded that 91% of all established logical dependencies involve non-structurally related artifacts. Furthermore, we found some evidence that structural dependencies do not lead to logical dependencies in most situations. These results suggest that dependency management methods and tools should rely on both kinds of dependencies, since they represent different dimensions of software evolvability.},

We test it by computing symbolic tasks in a dynamic geometry prototype that are currently out of scope of standard dynamic geometry software. Finally, we illustrate the development of web-based geometric resources by communicating GeoGebra and Sage through Javascript.},

abstract = {The use of programming languages such as Java and C in Open Source Software (OSS) has been well studied. However, many other popular languages such as XSL or XML have received minor attention. In this paper, we discuss some trends in OSS development that we observed when considering multiple programming language evolution of OSS. Based on the revision data of 22 OSS projects, we tracked the evolution of language usage and other artefacts such as documentation files, binaries and graphics files. In these systems several different languages and artefact types including C/C++, Java, XML, XSL, Makefile, Groovy, HTML, Shell scripts, CSS, Graphics files, JavaScript, JSP, Ruby, Phyton, XQuery, OpenDocument files, PHP, etc. have been used. We found that the amount of code written in different languages differs substantially. Some of our findings can be summarized as follows: (1) JavaScript and CSS files most often co-evolve with XSL; (2) Most Java developers but only every second C/C++ developer work with XML; (3) and more generally, we observed a significant increase of usage of XML and XSL during recent years and found that Java or C are hardly ever the only language used by a developer. In fact, a developer works with more than 5 different artefact types (or 4 different languages) in a project on average.},

Our analysis examines directed graphs in which nodes represent users' geographic locations and edges represent (a) follower relationships, (b) successive commits, or (c) contributions to the same project. We inspect this data using a set of visualization techniques: geo-scatter maps, small multiple displays, and matrix diagrams. Using these representations, and tools based on them, we develop hypotheses about the larger GitHub community that would be difficult to discern using traditional lists, tables, or descriptive statistics. These methods are not intended to provide conclusive answers; instead, they provide a way for researchers to explore the question space and communicate initial insights.},

Can these benefits be realized in specialized domains where expertise is rare? This study examined discussion forums of an Open Source project in a particular specialized application domain--electronic medical records--to see how development roles are carried out, and by whom. We found through a qualitative analysis that the core developers in this system include doctors and clinicians who also use the product. We also found that the size of the community associated with the project is an order of magnitude smaller than predicted, yet still maintains a high degree of responsiveness to issues raised by users. The implication is that a few experts and a small core of dedicated programmers can achieve success using an Open Source approach in a specialized domain.},

abstract = {In recent years, many open source software (OSS) products have become popular and widely used in the information technology (IT) business. To successfully run IT business, it is important to properly understand the OSS development status. Having a proper understanding of development status is necessary to evaluate and predict the product quality. However, the OSS development status is not easy to understand, because it is often concurrently developed by many distributed contributors, and its developmental structure is complicated. To aid the understanding of the development status, there is an approach that models the trend of source code change events (evolution) with a growth curve. Although an application of growth curves seems to be a promising approach, there has been a big issue that a single growth curve is often unsuitable for modeling the whole evolution because of its complex evolutionary behavior. This paper proposes a multistage model that divides the whole development period into some stages, and applies a different growth curve to a different stage. The empirical investigation in this paper shows that the switching points of stages have meaningful associations with the release dates.},

We found that newcomers are not a homogenous group and majority of them display "model" behavior. We also found out that community response is critical for continued participation of newcomers. In our dataset, almost all non returning newcomers can be attributed to receiving no reply or a condescending reply from the community. We found that one third of newcomers' transition into a role of help givers in the community and demonstrate evidence of learning. We also highlight best practices for newcomers to be successful in these online communities.},

abstract = {Historically, mailing lists have been the preferred means for coordinating development and user support activities. With the emergence and popularity growth of social Q&A sites such as the StackExchange network (e.g., StackOverflow), this is beginning to change. Such sites offer different socio-technical incentives to their participants than mailing lists do, e.g., rich web environments to store and manage content collaboratively, or a place to showcase their knowledge and expertise more vividly to peers or potential recruiters. A key difference between StackExchange and mailing lists is gamification, i.e., StackExchange participants compete to obtain reputation points and badges. In this paper, we use a case study of R (a widely-used tool for data analysis) to investigate how mailing list participation has evolved since the launch of StackExchange. Our main contribution is the assembly of a joint data set from the two sources, in which participants in both the texttt{r-help} mailing list and StackExchange are identifiable. This permits their activities to be linked across the two resources and also over time. With this data set we found that user support activities show a strong shift away from texttt{r-help}. In particular, mailing list experts are migrating to StackExchange, where their behaviour is different. First, participants active both on texttt{r-help} and on StackExchange are more active than those who focus exclusively on only one of the two. Second, they provide faster answers on StackExchange than on texttt{r-help}, suggesting they are motivated by the emph{gamified} environment. To our knowledge, our study is the first to directly chart the changes in behaviour of specific contributors as they migrate into gamified environments, and has important implications for knowledge management in software engineering.},

The primary studies for this review were identified based on a pre-defined search strategy and a multi-step selection process. Based on their research topics, we have identified four main categories of themes: software trends and patterns, evolution process support, evolvability characteristics addressed in OSS evolution, and examining OSS at software architecture level. A comprehensive overview and synthesis of these categories and related studies is presented as well.},

abstract = {COTS software products are developed extensively on top of OSS projects, resulting in OSS reuse vulnerabilities. To detect such vulnerabilities, finding OSS reuses in COTS software has become imperative. While scalable to tens of thousands of OSS projects, existing binary-to-source matching approaches are severely imprecise in analyzing COTS software products, since they support only a limited number of code features, compute matching scores only approximately in measuring OSS reuses, and neglect the code structures in OSS projects.We introduce a novel binary-to-source matching approach, called B2SFinder1, to address these limitations. First of all, B2SFinder can reason about seven kinds of code features that are traceable in both binary and source code. In order to compute matching scores precisely, B2SFinder employs a weighted feature matching algorithm that combines three matching methods (for dealing with different code features) with two importance-weighting methods (for computing the weight of an instance of a code feature in a given COTS software application based on its specificity and occurrence frequency). Finally, B2SFinder identifies different types of code reuses based on matching scores and code structures of OSS projects. We have implemented B2SFinder using an optimized data structure. We have evaluated B2SFinder using 21991 binaries from 1000 popular COTS software products and 2189 candidate OSS projects. Our experimental results show that B2SFinder is not only precise but also scalable. Compared with the state of the art, B2SFinder has successfully found up to 2.15x as many reuse cases in 53.85 seconds per binary file on average. We also discuss how B2SFinder can be leveraged in detecting OSS reuse vulnerabilities in practice.},

abstract = {This paper presents the first entirely open-source and cross-platform software called Open3DGen for reconstructing photorealistic textured 3D models from RGB-D images. The proposed software pipeline consists of nine main stages: 1) RGB-D acquisition; 2) 2D feature extraction; 3) camera pose estimation; 4) point cloud generation; 5) coarse mesh reconstruction; 6) optional loop closure; 7) fine mesh reconstruction; 8) UV unwrapping; and 9) texture projection. This end-to-end scheme combines multiple state-of-the-art techniques and provides an easy-to-use software package for real-time 3D model reconstruction and offline texture mapping. The main innovation lies in various Structure-from-Motion (SfM) techniques that are used with additional depth data to yield high-quality 3D models in real-time and at low cost. The functionality of Open3DGen has been validated on AMD Ryzen 3900X CPU and Nvidia GTX1080 GPU. This proof-of-concept setup attains an average processing speed of 15 fps for 720p (1280x720) RGBD input without the offline backend. Our solution is shown to provide competitive 3D mesh quality and execution performance with the state-of-the-art commercial and academic solutions.},

Behind this current situation, there are tremendous inputs by the volunteer engineers in the development communities. In this series of studies, we have conducted questionnaire survey to Japanese IT companies in 2012 and 2013, and then analyzed the relation between OSS utilization and development contribution, and how these affect the business growth. Our study revealed that Japanese IT companies are rather free riders of OSS, the volume of development contributions are far less than that of utilization. From our previous studies, it was anticipated that some OSS-related factors were affecting the business growth; however, clear evidence has not been found. In autumn 2014, we conducted the questionnaire survey for the third time and this paper presents the survey results as the second report of the continued research. We constructed the simplified Logistic Model to investigate the influential factors on business growth. However, no clear evidence was found as the same as the previous study. In summary, we conclude that there are some form of relationships between OSS utilization and development contribution, but these are not the determinant factors on the business growth in the Japanese IT companies at present.},

Agile methods have been examined merely in the context of healthcare software product development. However, the development of web-based applications in clinical departments using agile methods and OSS has not been studied so far. Thus, in this paper the feasibility of such an approach is examined for an electronic case report form (eCRF) application for orthopaedical studies. It is demonstrated how OSS-based web engineering projects may be successfully accomplished in highly specialized environments like clinical departments by properly taking into account their specific requirements.},

abstract = {Nowadays, most empirical studies in open source software evolution are based on the analysis of program code alone. In order to get a better understanding of how software evolves over time, many more entities that are part of the software ecosystem need to be taken into account. We present a general framework to automate the analysis of the evolution of software ecosystems. The framework incorporates a database that stores all relevant information obtained thanks to several mining tools, and provides a unified data source to visualisation tools. One such visualisation tool is integrated in order to get a first quick overview of the evolution of different aspects of the software project under study. The framework is extensible in order to accommodate more and different types of input and output, depending on the needs of the user. We compare our framework against existing solutions, and show how we can use this framework for carrying out concrete ecosystem evolution experiments.},

abstract = {Software peer review has proven to be a successful technique in open source software (OSS) development. In contrast to industry, where reviews are typically assigned to specific individuals, changes are broadcast to hundreds of potentially interested stakeholders. Despite concerns that reviews may be ignored, or that discussions will deadlock because too many uninformed stakeholders are involved, we find that this approach works well in practice. In this paper, we describe an empirical study to investigate the mechanisms and behaviours that developers use to find code changes they are competent to review. We also explore how stakeholders interact with one another during the review process. We manually examine hundreds of reviews across five high profile OSS projects. Our findings provide insights into the simple, community-wide techniques that developers use to effectively manage large quantities of reviews. The themes that emerge from our study are enriched and validated by interviewing long-serving core developers.},

The advancements in mobile communication technology enable a natural transition from the era of e-government to the era of m-government by extending the internet from wired PCs to mobile phones. Since speech is the most natural means of communication, by linking a mobile phone to a VoiceXML gateway we are able to build voice enabled Government-to-Citizen (G2C) applications which are accessible ubiquitously by anyone, anytime. Our implementation of the voice gateway successfully integrates the mobile telephone network with automatic speech recognition, text to speech synthesis for English and Hindi, and web navigation systems based on open standards and using open source software. We describe three voice enabled m-governance G2C applications on the open source Android platform. The platform specific m-governance applications can be downloaded directly on a mobile phone through mobile browsers for their use by citizens.},

abstract = {Technological development has become so manifest in all fields that it is now highly crucial to take it into consideration whenever possible. Open Source Software (OSS) has becoming widely adopted by commercial, public and academic organisations. Currently, there is increasing interest and demand in the existing applications of OSS in all fields all over the world. OSS has increased in prominence in the last decade, mostly due to the success of well-known software organisations such as Apache, Mozilla, Linux and Guice. As these organisations have become more dependent on software, the effective management of Software Evolution (SE) becomes more critical to an organization’s success. Therefore, the provision of well-evolved OSS has become an urgent issue in these days and will be so in the future. Therefore, the major challenge in OSS is how to evolve its environment, especially improvements in the security and quality of these systems. The main aim of this paper is to measure the evolution of OSS using, Eclipse Metrics (EM), with Guice software (GS) as a case study. In addition, this paper gives a brief literature review on OSS and how it has evolved.},

The purpose of this paper is to investigate FOSS on campuses in Taiwan in terms of its development, its local significances and the difficulties encountered in promotion, in the hope of providing an understanding and interpretation of FOSS in the context of education. The results indicate that the majority of teachers and students do not recognize or identify with the cultural values embedded in FOSS but use it as a tool to solve educational problems. In order to promote the use of FOSS on campuses, efforts are needed to address the difficulties in the use of FOSS as well as cultural difficulties related to it.},

abstract = {The usage of Open Source Software (OSS) has been more general these days and OSS are utilized in a wide range of business fields not only IT industries. Behind the expansion, there exist OSS development communities, where voluntary engineers dedicate their time and effort for the improvement. Considering development engineers in the companies as input resources, it is important to investigate the output of business growth. In this study, we conducted questionnaire survey to Japanese IT companies in 2013, and then analyzed the present state and relation between OSS utilization and development contribution. Our study revealed that Japanese IT companies are rather free riders of OSS, the volume of development contributions are far less than that of utilization. With regard to the effect on the business growth, the results of correlation analysis implicate that OSS utilization is related to the sales growth in the present term and that development contribution is related to the future growth of the employee number in the company. In order to explore the direct effect on the business growth, we constructed the models of multiple-logistic and logistic analyses, however, no direct and explicit determinants are found from the results of the analyses. Our research endeavors to investigate the OSS effect on the business growth are still on the way, but it is meaningful to provide the present state in numbers and hopefully this will lay some foundation for further study in this field.},

isbn = {9781467330763},
publisher = {IEEE Press},
abstract = {Efficient bug triaging procedures are an important precondition for successful collaborative software engineering projects. Triaging bugs can become a laborious task particularly in open source software (OSS) projects with a large base of comparably inexperienced part-time contributors. In this paper, we propose an efficient and practical method to identify valid bug reports which a) refer to an actual software bug, b) are not duplicates and c) contain enough information to be processed right away. Our classification is based on nine measures to quantify the social embeddedness of bug reporters in the collaboration network. We demonstrate its applicability in a case study, using a comprehensive data set of more than 700,000 bug reports obtained from the Bugzilla installation of four major OSS communities, for a period of more than ten years. For those projects that exhibit the lowest fraction of valid bug reports, we find that the bug reporters' position in the collaboration network is a strong indicator for the quality of bug reports. Based on this finding, we develop an automated classification scheme that can easily be integrated into bug tracking platforms and analyze its performance in the considered OSS communities. A support vector machine (SVM) to identify valid bug reports based on the nine measures yields a precision of up to 90.3% with an associated recall of 38.9%. With this, we significantly improve the results obtained in previous case studies for an automated early identification of bugs that are eventually fixed. Furthermore, our study highlights the potential of using quantitative measures of social organization in collaborative software engineering. It also opens a broad perspective for the integration of social awareness in the design of support infrastructures.},

Compared to closed-source software projects, open-source projects are less dependent on external turbulence, but more on its own structure and operation mechanism. In this paper, we assume that the activities of open-source software projects are only dependent on time. We use time series analysis techniques to study the time dependence of open-source software activities. The activities of open-source Software projects are extracted from mailing lists, bug reports, and revision history. Three mailing list (Linux, FreeBSD, and Apache HTTP), two bug archives (Eclipse and Apache Software Foundation), and one revision history (Apache Software Foundation) are mined. Various time series analysis techniques are used. We find that some activities of some open-source projects are cyclic and seasonally dependent, some are cyclic but seasonally independent, and some are acyclic. We build regression models for cyclic activities and analyzed their model accuracy.},

Usually these communities do not coordinate the work of the newcomers, who go to the issue trackers and self-select a task to start with. We found that "finding a way to start" was reported as an important issue by practitioners. To further investigate this specific barrier, we conducted a qualitative analysis with data obtained from semi-structured interviews with 36 subjects from 14 different projects, including newcomers and experienced members. We used procedures of Grounded Theory--open and axial coding--to analyze the data. We found that newcomers are not confident enough to choose their initial task and they need information about the tasks or direction from the community to support choosing a task more suitable for them. We also present a set of strategies identified in the literature, interviews, and state-of-the-practice that can provide newcomers with such information, enabling them to be more confident when choosing their first tasks and collaborate with the community.},

abstract = {Background: Open Source Software (OSS) is increasingly used in product development. Besides some much-reported benefits of this approach, using OSS products also presents new challenges. One such challenge is identifying relevant, high-quality OSS products among the hundreds of thousands that are available. One approach for doing that is to identify architectural patterns, since these patterns have a direct effect on a product's quality attributes, such as performance and reliability. However, there are no well-defined methods or tools available to identify architectural patterns.Research aim: Our goal is to identify approaches taken by novice software engineers that have no or little experience in identifying architectural patterns. We aim to get insight into how these novices tackle this problem, what challenges they encounter and what suggestions they have for improving this process.Method: We collected data from seven M. Sc. student teams that performed a pattern identification assignment. We conducted semi-structured interviews with eight students from two teams. We studied reflection reports from four teams that reported their experiences as part of their final report. Furthermore, during his M. Sc. course, one of the authors performed the assignment as a member of a team. We also included his experiences.Results and conclusions: We identified a number of approaches that students have taken in order to identify architectural patterns, as well as a number of challenges that they encountered in this task. Furthermore, based on suggestions from the students, we present a proposal to improve this process.},

It focuses on exploring how FOSS is developed and evolved based on an extensive review of a set of empirical studies of FOSSD projects that articulate different levels of analysis. These characterize what has been analyzed in FOSSD studies across levels that examine (i) why individuals participate; (ii) resources and capabilities supporting development activities; (iii) how cooperation, coordination, and control are realized in projects; (iv) alliance formation and inter-project social networking; (v) FOSS as a multi-project software ecosystem, and (vi) FOSS as a social movement. Next, there is a discussion of limitations and constraints in the FOSSD studies so far. Last, attention shifts to identifying emerging opportunities for future FOSSD studies that can give rise to the development of new software engineering tools or techniques, as well as to new empirical studies of software development.},

In addition we suggest that new developers prior to cooperate with high between ness centrality or degree centrality and then closeness centrality, discuss that centrality measures can use to guide the preferential collaboration of OSS community.},

abstract = {Women represent less than 24% of employees in the software development industry and experience various types of prejudice and bias. Despite various efforts to increase diversity and multi-gendered participation, women are even more under-represented in Open Source Software (OSS) projects. In my PhD, I investigate the following question: How can OSS communities increase women's participation in their projects? I will identify different OSS career pathways and develop a holistic view of women's motivations to join or leave OSS, as well as their definitions of success. Based on this empirical investigation, I will work together with the Linux Foundation to design attraction and retention strategies focused on women. Before and after implementing the strategies, I will conduct empirical studies to evaluate the state of the practice and understand the implications of the strategies.},

abstract = {Free and open source software (FOSS) is often distributed in binary packages, sometimes part of GNU/Linux operating system distributions, or part of products distributed/sold to users. FOSS creates great opportunities for users, developers and integrators, however it is important for them to understand the licensing requirements of any package they use. Determining the license of a package and assessing whether it depends on other software with incompatible licenses is not trivial. Although this task has been done in a labor intensive manner by software distributions, automatic tools to perform this analysis are highly desired. This paper proposes a method to understand licensing compatibility issues in software packages, and reports an empirical study aimed at auditing licensing issues in binary packages of the Fedora-12 GNU/Linux distribution. The objective of this study is (i) to understand how the license declared in packages is consistent with those of source code files, and (ii) to audit the licensing information of Fedora-12, highlighting cases of incompatibilities between dependent packages. The obtained results—supported by feedback received from Fedora contributors—show that there exist many nuances in determining the license of a binary package from its source code, as well as cases of license incompatibility issues due to package dependencies.},

At the product level, the product structures are modeled as complex networks, and the evolutionary characteristics of product structures are analyzed by using network analysis metrics. At the module level, linking mechanisms, which describe how a module is attached with other modules, are proposed. The linking mechanisms are modeled as probability functions dependent on the degrees of linking modules. A case study from an open source software project, Drupal, is presented. The evolutionary trends of Drupal product structures are analyzed and discussed. Finally, a model is presented to illustrate the effects of linking mechanisms at the module level on the product structures at the system level. The results indicate that the model built using the proposed linking mechanisms generates networks whose evolutionary characteristics are close to that of the original network.},

The Technology-Organisation-Environment (TOE) framework was used to guide the data analysis. This research also attempts to identify additional factors which are unique to the context of this research and evaluate their implication on the OSS adoption decision.Although there are many factors influencing the adoption decision by smaller enterprises, the lack of knowledge and exposure were fundamental to the slow diffusion of OSS. Factors contributing to this lack of product knowledge were the lack of OSS marketing and easily accessible OSS vendors.},

abstract = {A Web browser provides a uniform user interface to different types of information. Making this interface universally accessible and more interactive is a long term goal still far from being achieved. Universally accessible browsers require novel interaction modalities and additional functionalities, for which existing browsers tend to provide only partial solutions. Although functionality for Web accessibility can be found as open source and free software components, their reuse and integration is complex because they were developed in diverse implementation environments, following standards and conventions incompatible with the Web.To enable the integration of existing partial solutions within a mainstream Web browser environment, we have developed a middleware infrastructure, AMICO:WEB. This enables browser access to a wide variety of open source and free software components. The main contribution of AMICO:WEB is in enabling the syntactic interoperability between Web extension mechanisms and a variety of integration mechanisms used by open source and free software components. It also bridges the semantic differences between the high-level world of Web XML-based APIs and the low-level APIs of the device-oriented world.We discuss the design decisions made during the development of AMICO:WEB in the context of Web accessibility, using two typical usage scenarios: one describing a disabled user using a mainstream Web browser with additional interaction modalities; another describing a non-disabled user browsing in a suboptimal interaction situation.},

abstract = {One of the major challenges the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Ground Forces (GF) Battle Lab (BL) has been facing in recent years is the introduction of new simulation technologies and methods, under tight development schedule constraints. Introducing new technologies requires a "proof of concept" process in order to decide on the profitability of further development. Using Open Source software solutions in the BL helped make this process quicker and more efficient.The BL has been developing its proprietary Computer Generated Forces (CGF) for approximately 10 years. This CGF is mainly intended for simulating ground entities and has various capabilities for autonomous movement. Over the years, as the visual systems have improved and due to the introduction of urban environments simulation, the need for realistic movement characteristics, especially human, became important. An in-house solution, developed by the CGF team, appeared to consume too much development effort and was not extendable enough. After analyzing the problem and reviewing various third-party solutions, the CGF team decided on using an Open Source (OS) library called OpenSteer.Until recently, ground vehicle simulations in the BL used a low fidelity non-physical movement mode, based on ground clamping. In 2006 the BL got involved in research areas related to Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and human-robotics interactions. During early research stages it became clear that it would be necessary to simulate the UGV dynamics in higher fidelity than was done before. The development team decided to initiate the "proof of concept" process before full scale development. Therefore a quick solution for a high-fidelity vehicle simulation was searched for. After a brief review of third party solutions, an OS library, Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) was chosen. Developing a UGV simulation required an autonomous movement model which appeared to have similar characteristics to the one developed by the CGF team based on OpenSteer. Since OpenSteer was not originally intended for simulating rigid-body vehicles, the development team faced the challenge of integrating both products, OpenSteer and ODE. This paper will describe the steps taken in order to assimilate OS products in the BL simulation test-bed and lessons learned.},

abstract = {Nowadays open source software has become an indispensable basis for both individual and industrial software engineering. Various kinds of labeling mechanisms like categories, keywords and tags are used in open source communities to annotate projects and facilitate the discovery of certain software. However, as large amounts of software are attached with no/few labels or the existing labels are from different ontology space, it is still hard to retrieve potentially topic-relevant software. This paper highlights the valuable semantic information of project descriptions and labels, proposes labeled software topic detection (LSTD), a hybrid approach combining topic models and ranking mechanisms to detect and enrich the topics of software by mining the large amount of textual software profiles, which can be employed to do software categorization and tag recommendation. L-STD makes use of labeled LDA to capture the semantic correlations between labels and descriptions and then construct the label-based topic-word matrix. Based on the generated matrix and the generality of labels, LSTD designs a simple yet efficient algorithm to detect the latent topics of software that expressed as relevant and popular labels. Comprehensive evaluations are conducted on the large-scale datasets of representative open source communities and the results validate the effectiveness of LSTD.},

High-caliber decisions require a clear-sighted, non-dogmatic grasp of the contexts in which government enterprises today deploy both proprietary and open-source software in heterogeneous IT environments. This article addresses the topic, and describes ways in which proprietary and open-source software developers are drawing upon each other's development, licensing and business models. The article illustrates how today's IT world is no longer an "either/or" world in which customers and vendors chose to be either proprietary or open source. Instead, it is an attractive world of "both/and" as the lines between proprietary and open source have, making interoperable deployments almost inevitable in many if not most cases.},

At the same time, the success of Open Source Software (OSS) has also sparked interest of researchers in the universities and in the software industry. OSS has been largely used and developed and, as a consequence, the OSS quality has been a concern and an interesting subject for researchers. However, in spite of narrow relation between software architecture and software quality, there is lack of more detailed works that investigate how software architecture can influence OSS quality. In this paper, we present a case study reporting how software architecture is directly related to OSS quality. We have hence proposed architecture refactoring activity in order to repair software architectures, aiming at improving mainly maintainability, functionality and usability of these systems.},

abstract = {Peer review is seen as an important quality assurance mechanism in both industrial development and the open source software (OSS) community. The techniques for performing inspections have been well studied in industry; in OSS development, peer reviews are less well understood. We examine the two peer review techniques used by the successful, mature Apache server project: review-then-commit and commit-then-review. Using archival records of email discussion and version control repositories, we construct a series of metrics that produces measures similar to those used in traditional inspection experiments. Specifically, we measure the frequency of review, the level of participation in reviews, the size of the artifact under review, the calendar time to perform a review, and the number of reviews that find defects. We provide a comparison of the two Apache review techniques as well as a comparison of Apache review to inspection in an industrial project. We conclude that Apache reviews can be described as (1) early, frequent reviews (2) of small, independent, complete contributions (3) conducted asynchronously by a potentially large, but actually small, group of self-selected experts (4) leading to an efficient and effective peer review technique.},

Organizational boundary literature is interested in the tensions of online communities, including FLOSS communities. While this literature recognizes the importance of managing boundaries in online communities, little empirical research has been conducted on actual gatekeeping tactics project members perform against outsiders’ contributions. Based on several years of engaged research with FLOSS projects, we characterize three gatekeeping tactics in FLOSS projects: non-response, social exclusion, and false acceptance. They all have hindered usability work. We also offer examples of usability specialists and their contributions succeeding in avoiding these gatekeeping tactics in FLOSS projects. This paper provides an important contribution to the boundary management literature through detailed examination of gatekeeping tactics in action, as well as to the Human Computer Interaction literature interested in contributing to FLOSS projects through usability work.},

This is mainly due to the continuously growing size of the software, of the community, the high frequency of updates, and the heterogeneity of the participants. We propose a large scale P2P distribution system that tackles two main issues in software content management: efficient content dissemination and advanced information system capabilities.},

abstract = {Model-Driven Development (MDD) aims to increase productivity in software development and manage the complexity of software by utilizing modelling to shift from programming in solution-space to modelling in problem-space. Another approach to increase productivity and experience significant cost savings is to utilize Open Source (OS) components in software development. This paper presents the state of the art of how to combine MDD methods with OS software development. The approach is called Open Models software development which is expected to combine the benefits of both worlds. The fundamental idea of Open Models development is to apply community-driven collaborative MDD. In this paper, Open Models development is exemplified by constructing Resource Availability Service (RAS). RAS is a web service for providing availability information about resources such as services, content, users and terminals. This paper shows that Open Models development is feasible from technical point of view although there are still great challenges in tooling. In addition, more empirical research is needed in studying attractiveness of Open Models.},

abstract = {The opening and the interconnection of the enterprise information systems, added to the unceasingly increasing changes of the software environments, involve the development (designing) of flexible, interoperable and distributed applications. Thus the existing software systems must evolve to conform to these requirements. The model which currently address this kind of concern is SOA (Service Oriented Architecture). This article deals with the reuse of ADempiere within the framework of the implementation of a service oriented ERP. To operate the migration of the existing code, firstly we reconstituted the architecture of this ERP. This operation made it possible to acquire the technical knowledge necessary to develop services by injection of dependence. The new software resulting from this operation distinctly separates the presentation tier from the back-end. The back-end tier exposes a set of Web services which encapsulates the code of ADempiere. These services can either be in a synchronous way throughout the Spring XFire technology, or in an asynchronous way through Apache ActiveMQ technology},

abstract = {Over the past two decades, a rich ecosystem of open-source software has evolved. For every type of application, there are a wide variety of alternatives. We observed that even if different applications that perform similar tasks and compiled with the same versions of the compiler and the libraries, they perform very differently while running on the same system. Sadly prior work in this area that compares two code bases for similarities does not help us in finding the reasons for the differences in performance.In this paper, we develop a tool, SoftMon, that can compare the codebases of two separate applications and pinpoint the exact set of functions that are disproportionately responsible for differences in performance. Our tool uses machine learning and NLP techniques to analyze why a given open-source application has a lower performance as compared to its peers, design bespoke applications that can incorporate specific innovations (identified by SoftMon) in competing applications, and diagnose performance bugs.In this paper, we compare a wide variety of large open-source programs such as image editors, audio players, text editors, PDF readers, mail clients and even full-fledged operating systems (OSs). In all cases, our tool was able to pinpoint a set of at the most 10-15 functions that are responsible for the differences within 200 seconds. A subsequent manual analysis assisted by our graph visualization engine helps us find the reasons. We were able to validate most of the reasons by correlating them with subsequent observations made by developers or from existing technical literature. The manual phase of our analysis is limited to 30 minutes (tested with human subjects).},

abstract = {Learning software security has become a complex and difficult task today than it was even a decade ago. With the increased complexity of computer systems and a variety of applications, it is hard for software developers to master the expertise required to deal with the variety of security concepts, methods, and technologies that are required in software projects. Although a large number of security learning materials are widely available in books, open literature or on the Internet, they are difficult for learners to understand the rationale of security topics and correlate the concepts with real software scenarios. We argue that the traditional approach, which usually organizes knowledge content topically, with security-centric, is not suitable to motivate learners and stimulate learners' interest. To tackle this learning issue, our research is focused on forging a contextualized learning environment for software security where learners can explore security knowledge and relate it to the context that they are familiar with. This learning system is developed base on our proposed context-based learning approach and based on ontological technologies. In this paper, we present our evaluation study in the open source software (OSS) development environment. Our results demonstrate that contextualized learning can help OSS developers identify their necessary security information, improve learning efficiency and make security knowledge more meaningful for their software development tasks},

abstract = {A common claim is that open source software development produces higher quality software at lower cost than traditional commercial development. To validate such claims, researchers have conducted case studies of "successful" open source development projects. This case study of the FreeBSD project provides further understanding of open source development. The FreeBSD development process is fairly well-defined with proscribed methods for determining developer responsibilities, dealing with enhancements and defects, and for managing releases. Compared to the Apache project, FreeBSD uses a smaller set of core developers that implement a smaller portion of the system, and uses a more well-defined testing process. FreeBSD and Apache have a similar ratio of core developers to (1) people involved in adapting and debugging the system, and (2) people who report problems. Both systems have similar defect densities, and the developers are also users in both systems.},

While some of these projects are active and thriving, some projects are either languishing or showing no development activities at all. This phenomenon thus begs the important question of what are the influential factors that affect the success of open source projects. In a quest to deepen our understanding of the evolution of open source projects, this research aims to analyze the success of open source projects by using the theoretical lens of social network analysis. Based on extensive analyses of data collected from online repositories, we study the impact of the communication patterns of software development teams on the demand and supply outcomes of these projects, while accounting for project-specific characteristics. Using panel data analysis of data over 13 months, we find significant impacts of communication patterns on project outcomes over the long term.},

For loosely coupled forms of organization, such as open source systems (OSS) development projects, there are very few approaches to ensure the quality of project reporting; a promising approach can be to augment human reporting with data analysis based on the communication and state changes in an OSS project. In this paper we propose a concept and an initial measurement approach for event-based monitoring of OSS projects to better understand the actual benefit of tool-supported gathering, correlating and analyzing processes event data from the OSS community as a supplement for traditional software project monitoring data collection.

We use proxies based on empirical data collection to provide insight into the degree of Open Source software adoption which has already occurred. Software tools were developed to analyze web host software on the public Internet within each ASEAN country's country-level domain. Other empirical indicators include Linux User Group (LUG) existence and activity. The study found that government Open Source policies do not appear to be a consistent factor among those ASEAN countries with the highest degree of Open Source software adoption. Other environmental factors appear to be more influential at this point in time.},

abstract = {Engaging students in humanitarian free and open source software (HFOSS) projects allows them to gain real-world software development skills while helping society. Participating in an existing HFOSS project, although ripe with learning opportunities, presents a number of hurdles for faculty and students. An alternative to joining an existing HFOSS project community is to participate in a faculty-led HFOSS project. These projects provide the instructor with more control over the learning environment, but often lack an active community outside of the classroom. This paper describes a multi-institutional effort to engage a community of developers in creating humanitarian open source projects to support their on-campus food pantries. Food insecurity on campus has become a national concern and many institutions have, or are starting, food pantries to support the student, staff, and faculty community. Starting a faculty-led HFOSS project involves making decisions not only about the features of the project but also about community norms, tool choices, project development workflow, and inter-institution cooperation. This paper provides an overview of the creation of LibreFoodPantry, a community who is developing a suite of projects that support on-campus food pantries. It describes instances of using LibreFoodPantry's projects in various classroom settings, the lessons learned from these experiences, and the resulting discussions and decisions made by the LibreFoodPantry Coordinating Committee. This process has led to a community dedicated to easing the on-ramp for faculty who want to help their students contribute to an HFOSS project.},

This paper proposed Bayesian Network to construct the structure of interoperability and then learn the condition probability table of the structure. The structure and its condition probability table constitute the interoperability model. The model can be used not only to help user evaluate the interoperability of open source software, but also to guide the software developer to improve the quality of open source software more efficiently. An application showed how to use the model, and the result proved the validity of this model.},

abstract = {This paper outlines the motivations and methods for analyzing the developer network of open source software (OSS) projects. Previous work done by Hinds [5] suggested social network structure was instrumental towards the success of an OSS project, as measured by activity and output. The follow-up paper by Hinds [4] discovered that his hypotheses, based on social network theory and previous research on the importance of subgroup connectedness, were vastly different than the results of his study of over 100 successful OSS projects. He concluded that the social network structure had no significant effect on project success. We outline how his approach disregarded potentially important factors and through a new study evaluate the role of the OSS developer network as it pertains to long-term project popularity. We also present an initial investigation into the adequacy of using the SourceForge activity percentile as a long-term success metric. In contrast with Hinds, we show that previously existing developer-developer ties are an indicator of past and future project popularity.},

Due to technical complexity and high cost, communities lacking the expertise and resources cannot benefit from this technology. Open source software (OSS) offers the potential to solve these problems. At first this paper briefly reviews the OSS and open source GIS(OSGIS). Then an approach for developing Internet GIS using open source software is proposed. Issues involved in the development, including economic and technical, are discussed later. To demonstrate the approach a case study of Web-based Mountain Data Sharing Information System is presented. The presented case shows that development of Internet GIS based on OSS is feasible. It also provides a solution for internet GIS that is low cost and simple to implement.},

Specifically, by viewing projects and developers as characterized by their choices of features such as intended audiences, licenses, programming languages, operating systems, and topics, two-mode networks are generated to link projects (or developers) to their feature choices. Based on the generated networks, similarities among projects and among developers are calculated, and projects (or developers) are clustered through their measured similarities. Implication to this perspective can be the provision of project and developer recommendation services to extend developers' social networks beyond their participated projects and also to facilitate the sharing of information. This perspective also opens the possibility of discovering free software ideologists in FLOSS community.},

In this paper, we examine the process of patch reviews as a proxy for the extent of code-review in F/OSS projects. While existing descriptions of patch review processes are mostly narrative and based on individual experiences, we systematically analyze the email archives of five F/OSS projects to characterize this process. While doing so, we make a distinction between contributions (patches or review comments) by core members and casual contributors to grasp the role of core members in this process. Our results show that while the patch review processes are not exactly identical across various F/OSS projects, the core members across all projects play the vital role of gate-keepers to ensure a high level of review for submitted patches.},

However, very little research has been published in regards to the influence of OSS on business strategies; the use of OSS as a viable business or its value proposition within a commercial entity. The business model, a powerful tool for extracting economic value from the potential of technological innovation, clearly plays an important role in the success of a business. In this paper we investigate the role of open source in the business models of Red Hat and IBM and describe how OSS has contributed to their success. A framework recently developed by some of the authors is used to evaluate and identify the key factors important to the integration of OSS strategies into traditional business models.},

Although researchers have been studying the defect fixing process in OSS projects for almost a decade, the literature still lacks rigorous ways to measure the effectiveness of this process. Thus, this paper aims to create a valid and reliable instrument to measure the defect-fixing effectiveness construct in an open source environment through the scale development methodology proposed by Churchill [4]. This paper examines the validity and reliability of an initial list of indicators through two rounds of data collection and analysis. Finally four indicators are suggested to measure defect-fixing effectiveness. The implication for practitioners is explained through a hypothetical example followed by implications for the research community.},

abstract = {The use of open-source software in many institutions and organizations is increasing. However, a balance should be considered between the software cost and the cost of its technical support and reliability. In this article, a maintenance system for wind farms will be presented. It is connected to an information system for maintenance, called SMIT (Terology Integrated Modular System) as a general base to manage the assets and as a support strategic line to the evolution of this system, which incorporates on-condition maintenance modules, and the support to the research and development done around this theme. The SMIT system is based on a TCP/IP network, using a Linux server running a PostgreSQL database and Apache web server with PHP, and Octave and R software for numerical analysis. Maintenance technicians, chiefs, economic and production management personnel can access SMIT database through SMIT clients for Windows. In addition, this maintenance system for wind systems uses also special low cost hardware for data acquisition on floor level. The hardware uses a distributed TCP/IP network to synchronize SMIT server master clock through Precision Time Protocol. Usually, the manufactures construct, deploy and give the means for the suppliers to perform the wind system's maintenance. This is a very competitive area, where companies tend to hide the development details and implementations. Within this scenario, the development of maintenance management models for multiple wind equipments is important, and will allow countries to be more competitive in a growing market. For on-condition monitoring, the algorithms are based on Support Vector Machines and time series analysis running under Octave and R open-source software's.},

The computer science education community has been quiet about issues of open source versus closed source and the role of open source code in the advancement of information technology. A survey of recent issues of SIGCSE Bulletin and SIGCSE conference proceedings shows little attention to the role open source software should play in computer science education. We are here to raise the question: "What are the social and ethical responsibilities of computer science faculty regarding open source software?"One set of issues concerns the use of open source software in teaching and the use of open source development models in the teaching of software development. Some basic questions that arise include "Should analysis of open source (and possible contributions to it) be the subject of class assignments?" and "Should open source software development models be taught?"A second set of issues concerns the use of open source software in support of teaching (e.g., using Linux as your standard platform). Some basic questions that arise include "Should we use open source software to support teaching?" and "Are these faculty ethically obligated to make contributions to the open source software base?"In this panel we will identify many of the parties involved in the ethical and social issues surrounding the use of open source in teaching and in the support of teaching, and we will identify the rights and responsibilities we, as faculty, have to the various parties. This panel will initiate a discussion that will identify additional parties and our further professional obligations.},

abstract = {In this study open source software was examined from an archaeological perspective. The objective: to explore the evolution of a long-lived open source project with the intention of learning how code evolution has progressed over time. This investigation provides a case study of Nethack, an enormously popular open source game that has been in development for more than a decade. The Goal Question Metric approach was employed to derive measurement goals for the evaluation of open source software (OSS) evolution in Nethack. According to Lehman's laws, the incremental growth size of successive releases tends to decline during the active life of an evolving program. Our results demonstrate that the evolution patterns observed for Nethack do not consistently conform to Lehman's laws. The growth in Nethack's tarball distribution size, as well as lines of code, exhibited a linear increase in growth in this investigation. Additionally, Lehman's laws dictate that the complexity of a system will increase as it ages. Interestingly, in Nethack, the McCabe cyclomatic complexity was found to decrease with successive releases while the Halstead complexity increased. These results suggest that while the structure complexity of Nethack declined with successive releases, the complexity of calculational logic increased. These findings raise questions concerning the evolution of other OSS applications.},

abstract = {The free technologies adoption by governments is not a new phenomenon. As an innovative contribution, this paper proposes a collective intelligence (CI) approach for improving the free software adoption by small and medium-sized municipalities. To build this CI-approach, the authors have analyzed the dynamic of the communities hosted by Brazilian Public Software (BPS) Portal and the actions related to implementation of software solution in Brazilian municipalities. They started by identifying key variables and their relationship, and mining data from the communities whose software solutions have been successfully implemented in the municipalities according to player reports available in BPS portal. Such as the relationships demonstrate, these players have been appropriated the knowledge related to solutions and created new business to support the modernization of public administration. Based on reports and statistical analysis, the authors could understand both the dynamic of the successful communities and the adoption phenomena by municipalities as a consequence of individual initiatives. The results indicate that a CI-approach based on 5W1H can improve the knowledge sharing and promote the best practice in the free software adoption by small and medium-sized municipalities.},

abstract = {Open Source software (OSS) is increasingly being recognized by the government sector around the world as a viable choice to proprietary software, particularly in a number of areas of information technology (IT) such as on the network servers. In the OSS domain, it is perceived that OSS has the potential to deliver better value for money, high quality software, secure, flexible, stable and reliable network applications. The South African (SA) government acknowledges that OSS is a viable alternative to proprietary software especially on the servers. According to the data collected (survey) from various SA government departments and agencies, indications are that OSS is not fully implemented on the network servers, although the global trends indicate high usage of OSS within the network environment. The main aim of this paper is to propose a roadmap that can be used to aid SA ministries to increase OSS usage.},

abstract = {The Icelandic government is about to release its policy on free and open source software. Many governments around the world have either already released a similar policy or have one planned. The policy of the Icelandic government deals with both the use and the development of free and open source software.This paper takes a close look at the free and open source software policies, particularly the Icelandic one, from a software development perspective. The goal is to show how governments can utilize free and open source software when customized software is required. The paper also touches upon licensing issues for free and open source software by discussing the European Union Public License.Governmental project management and services of small software companies and the free and open source community are the focal points of the research. The basis of the research is the i2010 policy framework of the European Commission. The paper concludes by proposing a suitable methodology to use for governmental software development and recommending tools that foster both development and management, with emphasis on the latter.},

abstract = {A large number of high quality Open Source Software (OSS) reuse libraries has been developed, and has been becoming increasingly adopted by many software development organizations. Programmers who reuse such OSS libraries often rely on the online peer support platforms such as dedicated mailing lists to seek help from other programmers. However, there is little research in understanding and evaluating how effective such online peer support platforms are for OSS reuse libraries. By detailed studies of mailing lists of two popular OSS libraries (Lucene-Java and Apache Commons), this paper attempts to understand the effectiveness of mailing listbased peer support system. The results indicate that mailing lists are very responsive to the needs of reusing programmers, and this responsiveness is largely fueled by the strong involvement of library developers.},

abstract = {Our recent studies on single releases of multiple open-source software (OSS) products showed a higher concentration of dependencies in smaller modules. For one of the products, it was observed that an isolatable and observable refactoring initiative exacerbated this concentration inequality. In this paper, we empirically investigate the dependency concentration in smaller modules from a longitudinal perspective: (1) whether this concentration inequality always exists over product life time; (2) how it changes. We hypothesize that the concentration inequality should either remain at same levels or increase over time. This is because large-scale and long-lived software products usually go through some degree of continuous and intermittent refactoring. Our results show that dependencies concentrate in smaller classes in all releases, and this concentration inequality generally increases over successive releases. We suggest that software practitioners continuously pay a higher QA attention to smaller modules. We also recommend increasing such QA focus as a product matures and goes through refactoring activities.},

abstract = {It is becoming commonplace for companies to contribute to open source software (OSS) projects. At the same time, many software organizations are applying Scrum software development practices, for productivity and quality gains. Scrum calls for self-organizing teams, in which the development team has total control over its development process. However, OSS projects typically have their own processes and standards, which might not mesh well with a company's internal processes, such as Scrum. This paper presents an experience report from Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), where the "toolchain CPU compiler" team directly participates in the "LLVM" OSS project. The team ran into a number of difficulties when using Scrum to manage their development. In particular, the team often failed to complete Scrum sprints where tasks required interaction with the open source community. We look at how the team redefined task flows to alleviate these difficulties, and eventually evolved a highly modified process, dubbed TWINS (This Workflow Is Not Scrum). We assess the revised process, and compare it to other established agile methods, finding it bears a strong resemblance to Scrumban (the SIE team was not aware of Scrumban previously). The TWINS framework presented here may help other organizations who develop software in-house and engage in OSS projects, to gain the best of both worlds.},

This work demonstrates that it is possible to build research methodologies that can be applied to a large quantity of software projects and that empirical software engineering studies have not to refer to a limited number of software projects.

This paper abandons any theoretical aspect of that question and focuses on the practical steps to follow when assembling component-based systems using also OSS components. All the activities normally performed when integrating COTS in a in-house built software are reviewed with the intention of underlining if the availability of the source code (and its possible exploitation) makes any difference. Moreover this article analyzes all the activities to perform when using OSS in a component-based system that are not necessary when using COTS. The purpose of this paper is to provide a guideline for the correct use of OSS within component-based systems, and not to answer whether OSS are considered or not COTS, leaving this task to the reader.},

abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) has attracted enormous media and research attention since the term was coined in February 1998. The concept itself is founded on the paradoxical premise that software source code-the 'crown jewels' for many proprietary software companies-should be provided freely to anyone who wishes to see it. Given this fundamental initial paradox, it is perhaps hardly surprising that the OSS concept is characterised by contradictions, paradoxes and tensions throughout. In this paper we focus specifically on the following issues in relation to OSS: the cathedral v. bazaar development approach; collectivism v. individualism, the bitter strife within the OSS community itself (OSS v. OSS), and between OSS and the Free Software Foundation (OSS v. FSF); whether OSS represents a paradigm shift in the software industry; whether the software is truly open-the Berkeley Conundrum, as we have termed it here; whether OSS truly is high quality software; and whether OSS is a 'one size fits all,' representing the future model for all software development.},

The main results of the study are the following:. 1) Software maintainability is affected mostly by the activities of the 'Analysis' maintenance sub-process. 2) Software testability is affected by the activities of all maintenance sub-processes. 3) Software reliability is affected mostly by the activities of the 'Design' and 'Delivery' maintenance subprocesses. 4) Software complexity is affected mostly by the activities of the 'Problem identification', 'Design', 'Implementation' and 'Test' sub-processes. 5) Software flexibility is affected mostly by the activities of the 'Delivery' sub-process.},

abstract = {Theoretically, open source software (OSS) seems perfect for public information systems development due to the public sectors' often scarce budget. Espe-cially interesting are information systems (IS) with a large number of users such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems where the license fees for proprietary products are often substantial. Until now however, there are few reports of public organizations actually adopting OSS ERP systems. This study aims to use case study research to increase the understanding of the public sectors' low adoption rate and the factors that impact the intentions to adopt an OSS ERP system. The results indicate that the system's functionality is essential; OSS ERP systems are not perceived as fully developed for large organizations such as municipalities. Neither is the OSS consultancy market considered mature enough. OSS ERP systems are therefore not seen as a realistic alternative to proprietary ERP systems in the studied organ-izations.},

The output of the what/why studies is exemplified by empirical hypotheses, such as the staged model of software evolution.This paper focuses on the commonalities and differences between the evolution and patterns in the lifecycles of traditional commercial systems and free/libre/open source software (FLOSS) systems. The existing staged model for software evolution is therefore revised for its applicability on FLOSS systems.},

abstract = {Most studies of software evolution have been performed on systems developed within a single company using traditional management techniques. With the widespread availability of several large software systems that have been developed using an open source development approach, we now have a chance to examine these systems in detail, and see if their evolutionary narratives are significantly different from commercially developed systems. This paper summarizes our preliminary investigations into the evolution of the best known open source system: the Linux operating system kernel. Because Linux is large (over two million lines of code in the most recent version) and because its development model is not as tightly planned and managed as most industrial software processes, we had expected to find that Linux was growing more slowly as it got bigger and more complex. Instead, we have found that Linux has been growing at a super-linear rate for several years. In this paper, we explore the evolution of the Linux kernel both at the system level and within the major subsystems, and we discuss why we think Linux continues to exhibit such strong growth.},

abstract = {Recent studies suggest that well-known OSS projects struggle to find the needed workforce to continue evolving---in part because external developers fail to overcome their first contribution barriers. In this paper, we investigate how and why quasi-contributors (external developers who did not succeed in getting their contributions accepted to an OSS project) fail. To achieve our goal, we collected data from 21 popular, non-trivial GitHub projects, identified quasi-contributors, and analyzed their pull-requests. In addition, we conducted surveys with quasi-contributors, and projects' integrators, to understand their perceptions about nonacceptance. We found 10,099 quasi-contributors --- about 70% of the total actual contributors --- that submitted 12,367 nonaccepted pull-requests. In five projects, we found more quasi-contributors than actual contributors. About one-third of the developers who took our survey disagreed with the nonacceptance, and around 30% declared the nonacceptance demotivated or prevented them from placing another pull-request. The main reasons for pull-request nonacceptance from the quasi-contributors' perspective were "superseded/duplicated pull-request" and "mismatch between developer's and team's vision/opinion." A manual analysis of a representative sample of 263 pull-requests corroborated with this finding. We also found reasons related to the relationship with the community and lack of experience or commitment from the quasi-contributors. This empirical study is particularly relevant to those interested in fostering developers' participation and retention in OSS communities.},

The key trend in the evolution of FLOSS quality assessment models is the movement from manual and descriptive to more automated and analytical models, and from the involvement of a few metrics to hundreds of metrics. Concerning the security measurements, they are much more sophisticated in QualOSS than in OpenBRR. Where OpenBRR have only three security metrics, QualOSS has nine security indicator with altogether 30-40 security metrics. This article shows how security are measured in the two assessment models, putting it into the overall context of the two approaches.},

This paper looks at the ways some of the major and most successful open-source projects deal with the issue of coordination among their many contributors. Although each of the projects examined here developed some unique practices, there are also significant commonalities. The paper then goes on to indicate some of the problems caused by the existing practices, and put forward some possible approaches to OSS coordination that could make open-source software development more efficient.},

abstract = {As open source software products have evolved over time to satisfy a variety of demands from increasing users, they have become large and complex in general. Open source developers often face with challenges in fixing a considerable amount of bugs which are reported into a bug tracking system on a daily basis. As a result, the mean time to resolve bugs has been protracted in these days. In order to reduce the mean time to resolve bugs, managers/leaders of open source projects need to identify and understand the bottleneck of a bug modification process in their own projects. In this paper, we propose an analysis method which represents a bug modification process using a bug tracking system as a state transition diagram and then calculates the amount of time required to transit between states. We have conducted a case study using Firefox and Apache project data to confirm the usefulness of the analysis method. From the results of the case study, we have found that the method helped to reveal that both of the projects took a lot of time to verify results of bug modifications by developers.},

However, empirical studies on OSS development practices raise concerns on risky practices such as unclear requirement elicitation, ad hoc development process, little attention to quality assurance (QA) and documentation, and poor project management. Event then the ability to produce high quality products in such an environment may seem surprising and thus warrants an investigation on effective QA mechanism in OSS projects. This paper provides a preliminary exploration to improve our understanding of software quality practices in different types of OSS projects. We propose a framework of QA in an OSS project, elicit OSS stakeholder value propositions for QA, and derive performance indicators. For an initial empirical evaluation we applied these indicators to 5 releases of 2 large Apache projects (Tomcat and MyFaces) to analyze the extent to which QA aspects are commonly performed during development process.},

abstract = {Open source software (OSS) is increasingly becoming an alternative for proprietary software (PS), particularly in the government sector globally. The adoption and implementation of OSS by the government sector is cited as one of the enablers for the adoption of OSS by the private sector. It is also apparent that in the government sector internationally, OSS is seen as a viable technology for reasons such as lowering software costs, growing local software development industry, and bridging the digital divide. In South Africa (SA), an OSS policy that mandates OSS usage within ministries is in place. But according to various open source advocates, little has happened with regards to OSS implementation in the SA government. This paper reports on the current status of OSS usage within the SA government by surveying forty (40) national departments, targeting Information Technology (IT) directors and managers. The results indicate that OSS usage within the ministries is not yet extensive as required by the OSS policy. Various challenges and obstacles are hampering full OSS implementation within the ministries. The contribution of this research paper is an OSS expansion model, which is proposed as a possible solution to improve the current status of OSS usage within the SA government departments. The model proposed is in line with SA government's implementation strategy as outlined in the OSS policy.},

To understand how this "natural product evolution" happens, we have conducted a case study of four typical OSS projects. Unlike most previous studies on software evolution that focus on the evolution of the system per se, our study takes a broader perspective: It examines not only the evolution of OSS systems, but also the evolution of the associated OSS communities, as well as the relationship between the two types of evolution.Through the case study, we have found that while collaborative development within a community is the essential characteristic of OSS, different collaboration models exist, and that the difference in collaboration model results in different evolution patterns of OSS systems and communities. To treat such differences systematically, we propose to classify OSS into three types: Exploration-Oriented, Utility-Oriented, and Service-Oriented. Such a classification can provide guidance on the creation and maintenance of sustainable OSS development and communities.},

These changes often introduce structural anomalies between the concrete (as-built) and the conceptual (as-designed) architecture, which can impede program understanding. The problem of architectural drift is especially pronounced in open source systems, where many developers work in isolation on distinct features with little co-ordination. In this paper, we present our experiences with repairing the architectures of two large open source systems (the Linux operating system kernel and the VIM text editor) to aid program understanding. For both systems, we were successful in removing many structural anomalies from their architectures.},

abstract = {IT (Information Technology) advanced with steady steps from 1970\'{y}s is essential in our daily life. As the results of the advances in high-speed data-transfer network technology, software development environment has been changing into new development paradigm. In this paper, we propose software reliability assessment methods for concurrent distributed system development by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process. Also, we make a comparison between the inflection S-shaped software reliability growth model and the other models based on a nonhomogeneous Poisson process applied to reliability assessment of the entire system composed of several software components. Moreover, we analyze actual software fault count data to show numerical examples of software reliability assessment for the open source project. Furthermore, we investigate an efficient software reliability assessment method for the actual open source system development.},

abstract = {Despite the advances in software engineering, the development of information systems (IS) is still a difficult task; even more difficult is to develop the needed skills in an academic environment (a classroom). This is partly because it is not always possible to simulate real situations in the classroom. This article presents the lessons learned from the experience of teaching IS to computer engineering students at the Universidad Sim\'{o}n Bol\'{\i}var in Venezuela. The teaching venture used a development process based on free/open source software, with the innovative use of collaborative and free tools and under the methodological guidelines of RUP. As a result we have developed 4 case studies for the college community; each one obtained high levels of satisfaction from users and provided students with not only the knowledge, but also with the practical experience in regards with IS development learning.},

Having tried both ways allows us to retrospectivelycompare the effectiveness of "from scratch"implementation versus software evolution. By using thecode bases of GNU GCC and Linux for the adaptation approachwe gained valuable experiences with the comprehensionand adaptation of large but sparsely documentedcode bases. In most cases, the adaptation of existing softwareproved to be by far more effective than implementingfrom scratch. Surprisingly, the effort needed to comprehendthe existing voluminous source codes repeatedly proved tobe less than expected. In this paper we discuss our positiveand negative experiences and the various factors influencingsuccess and failure. Albeit collected in an academic setting,the observations described in this paper might well betransferable to the maintenance of large-scale commercialenvironments, too.},

abstract = {Managing the software evolution for large open source software is a major challenge. Some factors that make software hard to maintain are geographically distributed development teams, frequent and rapid turnover of volunteers, absence of a formal means, and lack of documentation and explicit project planning. In this paper we propose remote and continuous analysis of open source software to monitor evolution using available resources such as CVS code repository, commitment log files and exchanged mail. Evolution monitoring relies on three principal services. The first service analyzes and monitors the increase in complexity and the decline in quality; the second supports distributed developers by sending them a feedback report after each contribution; the third allows developers to gain insight into the "big picture" of software by providing a dashboard of project evolution. Besides the description of provided services, the paper presents a prototype environment for continuous analysis of the evolution of GRASS, an open source software.},

abstract = {Our recent work has addressed how and why software systems evolve over time, with a particular emphasis on software architecture and open source software systems [2, 3, 6]. In this position paper, we present a short summary of two recent projects.First, we have performed a case study on the evolution of the Linux kernel [3], as well as some other open source software (OSS) systems. We have found that several OSS systems appear not to obey some of "Lehman's laws" of software evolution [5, 7], and that Linux in particular is continuing to grow at a geometric rate. Currently, we are working on a detailed study of the evolution of one of the subsystems of the Linux kernel: the SCSI drivers subsystem. We have found that cloning, which is usually considered to be an indicator of lazy development and poor process, is quite common and is even considered to be a useful practice.Second, we are developing a tool called Beagle to aid software maintainers in understanding how large systems have changed over time. Beagle integrates data from various static analysis and metrics tools and provides a query engine as well as navigable visualizations. Of particular note, Beagle aims to provide help in modelling long term evolution of systems that have undergone architectural and structural change.},

Uncertainties we identify include topics researchers will seek to address, tools and expertise, and availability of other infrastructures to exploit LSST observations. LSST is using an open source approach to developing and releasing its data management software. We evaluate benefits and burdens of this approach as a strategy for addressing uncertainty. Benefits include: enabling software to adapt to researchers' changing needs; embedding LSST standards and tools in community practices; and promoting interoperability with other infrastructures. Burdens include: open source community management; documentation requirements; and trade-offs between software speed and accessibility.},

Using a qualitative study approach, we examined the resources, tools, and activities in the Gallery community to create a rich description of the interrelationships among people, activities, and media. Of particular interest was how the individuals contributed to the building of a shared knowledge base through collaborative problem-solving and decision-making processes, mediated with the OSSD environment. The study indicated that the collaboration process was symbolized by multiple rounds of discussions, which were means to pool individuals' expertise and experiences to obtain quality problem-solving and decision-making outcomes. The study also revealed that the OSSD environment mediated the collaborative efforts through virtual collaboration space, visual organization, and communication tools. The findings have important implications for designing effective instruction specifically for computing disciplines in promoting students' collaborative problem solving and decision making.},

Specifically, the relationship between free/libre software ideology and social entrepreneurships is investigated. This paper presents seven case studies of businesses, five of which were founded by people who identify with the free/libre software movement. The result is a theory that small businesses founded by free/libre software advocates have three characteristics of social entrepreneurships. First, social benefit is prioritized over wealth creation. Second, the business's social mission is not incidental but is furthered through its for-profit activities, rather than supported by the company's profits. Third, the company's success is defined in part by the success of its social mission. Free/libre software entrepreneurs who recognize their activities as social entrepreneurships can benefit from the existing literature on the unique challenges faced by socially-oriented businesses.},

A lot of companies, governments, and universities are now using OSS technologies because of the advantages they bring. However, the use of an OSS is actually hard for its beginners, because many OSSes have few good manuals, where they have usually been developed by volunteers. Besides, the installation of an OSS package sometimes requires installations of multiple OSS packages to be integrated together. In this paper, we propose a method of automatically generating an installation manual of an OSS package, including the one requiring the integration of multiple OSS packages. Then, we implement the proposed method for evaluations. Our experimental results in installations of OSS packages including the one requiring the integration of four packages by generated manuals verify the effectiveness of our method.},

We draw parallels to the business case for commercial software products (COTS). Compared with COTS, OSS products seem to have several advantages, but based on existing literature and a case study, we develop and discuss the hypothesis that a major barrier may be the “customer's” uncertainty and unfamiliarity with OSS vendor relationships. We find that corporate governance and architecture needs to be accounted for in both COTS and OSS. This paper should be seen as a first step researching the fit between procurement and delivery models for OSS.},

These conflicts may induce developer turnover intention towards the organization and the OSS community. This research seeks to identify identification-related determinants that drive turnover intention by surveying Linux kernel developers (N=321). This study finds, among others, that perceived external reputation of the employing organization reduces turnover intention towards the company while perceived own reputation dampens turnover intention directed towards the OSS community.},

The positive economical results of the project made software reuse a common practice at Orbotech. Further experimentation of reusing Open Source Software (OSS) demonstrated the high potential of that approach, when carefully integrated with the standard organizational development process. The conclusions from Orbotech experience are that when carefully planned and implemented, software reuse provides the anticipated benefits of cost reduction, improved quality and shorter Time-to-Market. The reuse of OSS may provide even higher benefits than conventional software reuse. Nevertheless, as in many cases before, implementation of software reuse requires management support and commitment, as well as acceptance by the developers themselves. As such, software reuse implementation proves to be a complex task that needs to be tailored specifically to the implementing organization.},

abstract = {A large body of research into FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open Source Software) has focused on the exemplars within the available corpus of FLOSS projects: such as Apache HTTP Server, Eclipse, and Linux. However, many other FLOSS projects exist which provide a very rich body to study and understand. By focusing on more projects that perhaps do not gain the immediate attention of researchers, we hope to broaden our knowledge of the rich ecosystems within FLOSS.Specifically, the goal of the FLOSS-3 workshop (8th in a series at ICSE) is to bring together academic researchers, industry members, and FLOSS developers for the purpose of discussing topics including analyzing "competing" projects within FLOSS that share the same domain, performing data collection and analysis among many FLOSS projects, examining governance models within FLOSS projects, identifying licensing paradigms of FLOSS projects, discussing the interplay of corporate involvement within FLOSS projects, social and technical interactions between FLOSS projects, and dependency analysis and reuse between FLOSS projects.We believe that this workshop will also serve as a common bridge between the ACM/IEEE (ICSE) and (IFIP) OSS research communities, thereby providing a window for others in the Software Engineering community to interact with and learn more about the advances of research into FLOSS development and communities.},

abstract = {The concept of the core group of developers is important and often discussed in empirical studies of FLOSS projects. This paper examines the question, "how does one empirically distinguish the core?" Being able to identify the core members of a FLOSS development project is important because many of the processes necessary for successful projects likely involve core members differently than peripheral members, so analyses that mix the two groups will likely yield invalid results. We compare 3 analysis approaches to identify the core: the named list of developers, a Bradford's law analysis that takes as the core the most frequent contributors and a social network analysis of the interaction pattern that identifies the core in a core-and-periphery structure. We apply these measures to the interactions around bug fixing for 116 SourceForge projects. The 3 techniques identify different individuals as core members; examination of which individuals are identified leads to suggestions for refining the measures. All 3 measures though suggest that the core of FLOSS projects is a small fraction of the total number of contributors.},

abstract = {An Open Source Software (OSS) project is unlikely to be successful unless there is an accompanied community that provides the platform for developers and users to collaborate. Members of such communities are volunteers whose motivation to participate and contribute is of essential importance to the success of OSS projects. In this paper, we aim to create an understanding of what motivates people to participate in OSS communities. We theorize that learning is one of the motivational forces. Our theory is grounded in the learning theory of Legitimate Peripheral Participation, and is supported by analyzing the social structure of OSS communities and the co-evolution between OSS systems and communities. We also discuss practical implications of our theory for creating and maintaining sustainable OSS communities as well as for software engineering research and education.},

abstract = {Pull requests are a method to facilitate review and management of contribution in distributed software development. Software developers author commits, and present them in a pull request to be inspected by maintainers and reviewers. The success and sustainability of communities depends on ongoing contributions, but rejections decrease motivation of contributors. We carried out a a qualitative study to understand the mechanisms of evaluating PRs in open source software (FOSS) communities from developers and maintainers perspective. We interviewed 30 participants from five different FOSS communities. The data shows that acceptance of contributions depends not only on technical criteria, but also significantly on social and strategic aspects. This paper identifies three PR governance styles found in the studied communities: (1) protective, (2) equitable and (3) lenient. Each one of these styles has its particularities. While the protective style values trustworthiness and reliability of the contributor, the lenient style believes in creating a positive and welcoming environment where contributors are mentored to evolve contributions until they meet the community standards. Despite the differences, these governance styles have a commonality, they all safeguard the quality of the software.},

Recent surveys show that the skills of IT staff in an organization are one of the key factors in OSS adoption decisions. This paper develops a model where users choosing between proprietary software and OSS are heterogeneous in their expertise. The paper finds that as users become more skilled in OSS, the price of proprietary software will decline. Second, the equilibrium market structure is influenced by both users' expertise and network effects. It is not surprising that proprietary software can drive OSS out of the market in presence of network effect, but counter-intuitively, this happens when users are highly skilled in OSS. Third, in presence of network effect, OSS may survive in the market only when it is customizable by skilled users and therefore provides significant higher benefits to users than proprietary software.},

It is a typical case of an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) building application software on top of open source platform software. In the spirit of the open source movement, the extensions or modifications to the open source components could be contributed back to the community. However, in this paper we discuss several issues that companies face in such a situation. They extend far beyond the obvious decision whether to keep the developed code proprietary, and should not be neglected. It is argued that a closer collaboration between open source projects and independent software vendors would be beneficial to all.},

This study aims to provide better understanding about "breaking the mirror" in community-based OSS production in which there is no significant corporate participation. We propose it is not the mirroring hypothesis that is broken, but the manner in which we conceptualize and measure organizational configurations in OSS production.},

abstract = {Corporations are currently making progress in their efforts toward traceability, against the backdrop of practical realization of automatic identification technologies such as RF tags and 2D barcodes. In order to consistently manage and access various types of product-related history information throughout the supply chain, it is necessary to develop information networks and databases for sharing that information between firms, and EDI systems play a central role in that context. This paper proposes a distributed traceability system based on open source software which is particularly suitable for small and medium enterprises. To do this, the paper first conducts an exploratory analysis of factors involved in the adoption of traceability systems by small and medium enterprises, based on a review of previous research on traceability and questionnaire survey data. Next, it examines the current situation and problems of RF tags, 2D barcodes and EDI systems, and their linkage with in-house backend systems. Based on the above analysis, the paper proposes a model of a traceability system using open source software which is suitable for small and medium enterprises, and discusses the model's practical implications.},

abstract = {Refactoring, as a software engineering discipline has emerged over recent years to become an important aspect of maintaining software. Refactoring refers to the restructuring of software according to specific mechanics and principles. In this paper, we describe a tool that allows refactoring data across multiple versions of seven open-source software systems to be collected. The tool automates the identification of refactorings as program transformations between consecutive software releases. The same tool thus allowed an empirical analysis of software development across versions from the perspective of those transformations. We describe results for the systems analysed and point to key conclusions from our analysis. In particular, we investigate a problematic empirical question as to whether certain refactorings are related, i.e., they cannot be undertaken in isolation without other refactorings being undertaken in parallel. In this context, we focus specifically on the four most common refactorings identified by the tool from three of the open-source systems and use a dependency graph to inform conclusions about the empirical data extracted by the tool. An interesting result relating to some common refactorings is described.},

This paper presents a newly developed Open Source (OS) tool, called the Knowledge Extraction (KE) tool that automates the input data management in DES projects enabling real-time simulation. The OS software reads data from several resources of an organisation; analyses it using statistical analysis and outputs it in a format that is applicable to be used by simulation software, all conducted in one automated process. We explain how the KE tool is developed using Python libraries, introduce its structure and provide insights of its employment.},

The organizational commitment of OSS developers to quality is also explored. A comprehensive web-based questionnaire was completed by OSS and traditional developers. It was found that peer review is generally considered very useful for detecting both defects and flaws in code, as well as being important in contributing to the quality of the software. It is suggested that OSS developers commit to quality through internalization - adopting the ideas as their own, as the majority of the developers indicated that they would perform peer reviews without management direction. Encouragement to perform peer reviews and an organizational culture of peer review make it more likely for the developers to perform peer review under their own initiative, but neither are essential.},

Field defect predictions for open source software systems may allow organizations to make informed decisions regarding open source software components. In this paper, we remotely measure and analyze predictors (metrics available before release) mined from established data sources (the code repository and the request tracking system) as well as a novel source of data (mailing list archives) for nine releases of OpenBSD. First, we attempt to predict field defects by extending a software reliability model fitted to development defects. We find this approach to be infeasible, which motivates examining metrics-based field defect prediction. Then, we evaluate 139 predictors using established statistical methods: Kendall\'{y}s rank correlation, Pearson\'{y}s rank correlation, and forward AIC model selection. The metrics we collect include product metrics, development metrics, deployment and usage metrics, and software and hardware configurations metrics. We find the number of messages to the technical discussion mailing list during the development period (a deployment and usage metric captured from mailing list archives) to be the best predictor of field defects. Our work identifies predictors of field defects in commonly available data sources for open source software systems and is a step towards metricsbased field defect prediction for quantitatively-based decision making regarding open source software components.},

The Teaching Open Source (http://teachingopensource.org) community is an emergent (3 year old) group working on scaffolding to bridge the cultural differences between academic and FOSS communities of practice. Join us to share questions, challenges, and triumphs of incorporating FOSS participation into existing and new curricula as well support resources for doing so. Alumni and current members of the POSSE (Professors' Open Source Summer Experience, http://communityleadershipteam.org/posse) will attend in mentorship roles. Faculty attendance at the SIGCSE 2010 BoF on Teaching Open Source (TOS) indicates that student involvement in FOSS projects is a teaching and learning approach of interest for many faculty members. The transparency of both artifacts and process make FOSS an attractive real-world experience that enhances peer learning and intrinsic motivation for a diversity of courses, from introductory, interdisciplinary, and non-major classes to software engineering core offerings and senior capstones. However, such student participation involves a significant learning curve and effort on the part of the faculty member, and support structures for faculty are still maturing. 2011-2012 marks the 3rd academic year the TOS community has explored this realm together, and the past year has seen the emergence of more best practices, support resources, and curricular material. Community members are starting to design cross-institutional research on the impact of FOSS participation on students. BoF attendees will be encouraged to ask questions, network, and take advantage of the TOS community as a support structure for their own courses and projects.The audience is expected to consist of instructors who 1) are interested in learning how to get started in involving students in FOSS projects; or 2) have involved students in FOSS projects and are looking for better ways to facilitate student learning within FOSS projects.},

publisher = {IEEE Computer Society},

abstract = {This paper tests the hypothesis that generic recovery techniques, such as process pairs, can survive most application faults without using application-specific information. We examine in detail the faults that occur in three, large, open-source applications: the Apache web server, the GNOME desktop environment, and the MySQL database. Using information contained in the bug reports and source code, we classify faults based on how they depend on the operating environment. We find that 72-87% of the faults are independent of the operating environment and are hence deterministic (non-transient). Recovering from the failures caused by these faults requires the use of application-specific knowledge. Half of the remaining faults depend on a condition in the operating environment that is likely to persist on retry, and the failures caused by these faults are likely to require application-specific recovery. Unfortunately, only 5-14% of the faults were triggered by transient conditions, such as timing and synchronization that naturally fix them during recovery. Our results indicate that classical application-generic recovery techniques, such as process pairs, will not be sufficient to enable applications to survive most failures caused by application faults.},

Of many related phenomena, open source software (OSS) development has been touted as one of the leading examples that speak to the potential of collective intelligence. Recently, the advent of novel open collaboration platforms for open source software development, such as Github, has prompted researchers to examine the impact of increased work transparency induced by the introduction of social features on voluntary self-organization and allocation of resources to projects. We present both qualitative and quantitative analyses from which we derive some initial propositions regarding the impact of transparency on voluntary self-organization processes and decision mechanisms.},

This paper reports on our efforts to mitigate these challenges through the creation and use of Education-Oriented H/FOSS (Humanitarian FOSS or FOSS) projects - authentic open source projects consciously designed and managed to facilitate student and faculty engagement. We describe four active Education-Oriented H/FOSS projects and introduce a framework for illustrating different models of H/FOSS engagement. The framework is used to structure a discussion of the considerations and trade-offs of different engagement models, and highlights particular models that have been used to engage students and faculty in our four Education-Oriented H/FOSS projects. The framework positions projects along dimensions of professor involvement, responsibility for project hosting/management, mode of student knowledge and skill acquisition, and the curricular engagement goals. In doing so it broadly captures trade-offs that exist between the level of institutional resources used and the level of student independence required. It is anticipated this framework and the discussion that it organizes will be useful to faculty a) in evaluating the appropriateness of particular H/FOSS projects for use in their courses and curriculum and b) as guidance to those considering the creation of new Education-Oriented H/FOSS projects.},

To use open data standards and free software is an alternative without these inconveniences but available authoring tools are commonly less productive.

In particular, examples of how they mitigate and resolve conflict are presented. Conflict arises over the use of a non-free tool to create GNUe graphic, and over the use of a non-free tool for GNUe documentation. The GNUe developers resolve the conflict using internet relay chat (IRC), threaded email discussions, and community digests. We characterize the GNUe developers as an occupational subculture within the occupational community of free/open source software (F/OSS) developers and show how the beliefs in free software and freedom of choice, and values in cooperative work and community assist GNUe contributors in mitigating and resolving conflict. In addition, we show how, despite fluctuating boundaries of membership in a virtual organization, daily discussions on the GNUe IRC serve to build and perpetuate the global community of GNUe contributors as well as F/OSS developers in general.},

abstract = {Background: Several factors may impact the process of software maintenance and evolution of free software projects, including structural complexity and lack of control over its contributors. Structural complexity, an architectural concern, makes software projects more difficult to understand, and consequently more difficult to maintain and evolve. The contributors in a free software project exhibit different levels of participation in the project, and can be categorized as core and peripheral developers. Research aim: This research aims at characterising the changes made to the source code of 7 web server projects written in C with respect to the amount of structural complexity added or removed and the developer level of participation. Method: We performed a observational study with historical data collected from the version control repositories of those projects, recording structural complexity information for each change as well as identifying each change as performed by a core or a peripheral developer. Results and conclusions: We have found that core developers introduce less structural complexity than peripheral developers in general, and that in the case of complexity-reducing activities, core developers remove more structural complexity than peripheral developers. These results demonstrate the importance of having a stable and healthy core team to the sustainability of free software projects.},

abstract = {Some free software projects have been extremely successful. This rise to prominence can be attributed to the high quality and suitability of the software. This quality and suitability is achieved through an elaborate peer-review process performed by a large community of users, who act as co-developers to identify and correct software defects and add features. Although this process is crucial to the success of free software projects, there is more to the free software development than the creation of a 'bazaar'. In this paper we draw on existing free software projects to define a lifecycle model for free software. This paper then explores each phase of the lifecycle model and agrees that, while the bazaar phase attracts the most attention, it is the initial modular design that accommodates diverse interventions. Moreover, it is the period of transition from the initial group to the larger community based development that is crucial in determining whether a free software project will succeed or fail.},

abstract = {This paper proposes novel quantitative methods to measure the effects of social communications on individual working rhythms by analyzing the communication and code committing records in tens of Open Source Software (OSS) projects. Our methods are based on complex network and time-series analysis. We define the notion of a working rhythm as the average time spent on a commit task and we study the correlation between working rhythm and communication frequency. We build communication networks for code developers, and find that the developers with higher social status, represented by the nodes with larger number of outgoing or incoming links, always have faster working rhythms and thus contribute more per unit time to the projects. We also study the dependency between work (committing) and talk (communication) activities, in particular the effect of their interleaving. We introduce multi-activity time-series and quantitative measures based on activity latencies to evaluate this dependency. Comparison of simulated time-series with the real ones suggests that when work and talk activities are in proximity they may accelerate each other in OSS systems. These findings suggest that frequent communication before and after committing activities is essential for effective software development in distributed systems.},

However, without appropriate customization and a model to support collaborative editing of pages, wikis will fall sort in providing the functionalities needed to support collaborative work. In this paper, we present the architecture and design of a wiki platform, as well as a model that allow scientific communities, especially disaster response scientists, collaborative edit and append data to their wiki pages. Our experience in the implementation of the platform on MediaWiki demonstrates how wiki technologies can be used to support data curation, and how the dynamics of the FLOSS development process, its user and developer communities are increasingly informing our understanding about supporting collaboration and coordination on wikis.},

However, there is an even larger number of them that cannot overcome the initial step towards building an active community of users and developers. In this study, we investigated whether there are relationships between source code metrics and attractiveness, i.e., the ability of a project to attract users and developers. To verify these relationships, we analyzed 6,773 Free Software projects from the SourceForge.net repository. The results indicated that attractiveness is indeed correlated to some source code metrics. This suggests that measurable attributes of the project source code somehow affect the decision to contribute and adopt a Free Software project. The findings described in this study show that it is relevant for project leaders to monitor source code quality, most specifically a few objective metrics, since these can have a positive influence in their chances of forming a community of contributors and users around the software, enabling further enhancement in its quality.},

These projects usually involve a distributed community of users and developers who jointly determine the software's future development. This paper presents the results of a web-based survey that examined which factors affect participant satisfaction with FLOSS projects. A total of 183 usable responses were received from people in 33 countries, representing over 30 different LIM FLOSS projects. Stepwise hierarchical regression showed that five factors (perceived project openness, perceived developer communication quality, perceived complexity, extent of participation, and perceived product openness) accounted for 44% of the variance in satisfaction. Community-oriented characteristics had the most influence, suggesting that in a FLOSS context, project participants need to focus on community development and support to increase overall satisfaction with the project.},

Yet formal governance systems are being increasingly adopted among communities, particularly through non-profit project-sponsoring foundations. Our study looks at the Apache Software Foundation Incubator program and 208 of the projects it has supported. We assemble a scalable, semantic pipeline to discover and analyze the governance behavior of projects from their mailing lists. We then investigate the relationship of such behavior to what the formal policies prescribe, through their own governance priorities and how their members internalize them. Our findings indicate that a greater amount of policy over a governed topic doesn’t elicit more governed activity on that topic, but does predict greater internalization by community members. Moreover, alignment of community operations with foundation governance, be it dedicating their governance focus or adopting policy along topics seeing greater policy-making, has limited association with project outcomes.},

A typical example is that, if we modify a code fragment that has been duplicated to other code fragments, it is necessary to consider whether the other code fragments have to be modified simultaneously or not. In this research, in order to investigate how much the presence of duplicate code is related to software evolution, we defined a new indicator, modification frequency. The indicator is a quantitative measure, and it allows us to objectively compare the maintainability of duplicate code and non-duplicate code. We conducted an experiment on 15 open source software systems, and the result showed that the presence of duplicate code does not have a negative impact on software evolution.},

We focus on the user-oriented and the developer-oriented mailing-lists of the Python project.Findings/Design -- We find that key-participants, the cross-participants, foster the design process and act as boundary spanners between the users and the developers' communities.Research limitations/Implications -- These findings can be reinforced developing software to automate the structural analysis of discussions and actions to the code and documentation. Further analyses, supported by these tools, will be necessary to generalise our results.Originality/Value -- The analysis of participation among the three interaction spaces of OSS design (discussion, documentation and implementation) is the main originality of this work compared to other OSS research that mainly analyse one or two spaces.Take away message -- Beside the idealistic picture that users may intervene freely in the process, OSS design is boost and framed by some key-participants and specific rules and there can be barriers to users' participation.},

abstract = {Over the last decades, the Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) phenomenon has been a topic of study and a source of real-life artifacts for software engineering research. A FLOSS project usually has a community around its project, organically producing informative resources to describe how, when, and why a particular change occurred in the source code or the development flow. Therefore, when studying this kind of project, collecting and analyzing texts and artifacts can promote a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon and the variety of organizational settings. However, despite the importance of examining Grey Literature (GL), such as technical reports, white papers, magazines, and blog posts for studying FLOSS projects, the GL Review is still an emerging technique in software engineering studies, lacking a well-established investigative methodology. To mitigate this gap, we present and discuss challenges and adaptations for the planning and execution of GL reviews in the FLOSS scenario. We provide a set of guidelines and lessons learned for further research, using, as an example, a review we are conducting on the Linux kernel development model.},

Relying on 11 semi-structured interviews with FLOSS project leaders and community managers, the papers identifies key instances of citizenship behaviors along two dimensions: CCB-I (community citizenship behaviors oriented towards the benefits of other individuals), and CCB-P (community citizenship behaviors oriented towards the benefits of the project and its community).},

Different metrics were defined, addressing different OSS properties: the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) addresses the cost of acquiring, adapting and operating OSS; the Total Account Ownership (TAO) represents the degree of freedom of the user with respect to the technology provider; indexes like the Open Business Quality Rating (Open BQR) assess the quality of the software with respect to the user's needs. However, none of the proposed methods and models addresses all the aspects of OSS in a balanced and complete way. For this purpose, the paper explores the possibility of adapting the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) technique to OSS. A preliminary definition of the BSC for OSS is given and discussed.},

Using the concept of episodic volunteering (EV) from the general volunteering literature, we derive a model consisting of five key constructs that we hypothesize affect episodic volunteers' retention in FLOSS communities. To evaluate the model we conducted a survey with over 100 FLOSS episodic volunteers. We observe that three of our model constructs (social norms, satisfaction and community commitment) are all positively associated with volunteers' intention to remain, while the two other constructs (psychological sense of community and contributor benefit motivations) are not. Furthermore, exploratory clustering on unobserved heterogeneity suggests that there are four distinct categories of volunteers: satisfied, classic, social and obligated. Based on our findings, we offer suggestions for projects to incorporate and manage episodic volunteers, so as to better leverage this type of contributors and potentially improve projects' sustainability.},

To our knowledge, this is the first model of OSS evolution that includes four significant factors: productivity limited by the complexity of software modules, the software's fitness for purpose, the motivation of developers, and the role of users in defining requirements. The model was evaluated by comparing the simulated results against four measures of software evolution (system size, proportion of highly complex modules, level of complexity control work, and distribution of changes) for four large OSS systems. The simulated results resembled all the observed data, including alternating periods of growth and stagnation. The fidelity of the model suggests that the factors included here have significant effects on the evolution of OSS systems.},

The majority of them is contributing for individual and personal reasons, aiming to create (intangible) value that is important to themselves. Besides that, users are today often not directly involved in the development process. This results in the need to have a software and management structure that actively aligns these different actors, pays respect to their needs, and involves them in the software creation process. We present the case of Catrobat and how different influences, e.g., by contributors, users, or stakeholders, affect the project and its development. We outline the challenges that occur in practice when it comes to an open software project situated in a complex ecosystem of different actors and highlight the requirements on such a project and how they are encountered in the presented case.},

abstract = {Context: Software Engineering (SE) is a key topic in undergraduate computing-related courses that provides the basic knowledge and skills necessary for professional practice in the software industry. Teaching SE principles, concepts and practices and relating them to real-world scenarios are challenging tasks, and the adoption of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects can help to face these challenges. On the other hand, using FLOSS projects as a didactic resource may introduce additional challenges to professors that are not familiar with the FLOSS ecosystem. Objective: This research aims to identify and map the profiles of professors of SE courses in Brazil, as well as to present the pedagogical practices used in the experience with FLOSS projects in Software Engineering Education (SEE). Method: We performed a survey with higher education professors in Brazil, used K-modes algorithm to identify clusters and Decision Tree algorithm to identify characteristics that determine the use of FLOSS projects in a sample of professors who had not used this approach in the classroom. Results: The results of the research revealed characteristics of professors who use, or not, FLOSS projects in SEE, of professors grouped in the two clusters generated by the application of the K-modes algorithm, of professors grouped by the application of the Decision Tree algorithm, in addition to presenting similar characteristics the pedagogical practices evidenced by each group of SE professors.},

In this paper, we describe findings that address this paradox based on observation, interviews and quantitative analyses of two open-source projects. The findings suggest that spontaneous work coordinated afterward is effective, rational organizational culture helps achieve agreement among members and communications media moderately support spontaneous work. These findings can imply a new model of dispersed collaboration.},

Poor code quality contributes to difficulties in the onboarding process and limits contributor satisfaction in general. In turn, dissatisfied developers tend to exacerbate problems with system integrity. Poorly designed systems are difficult to maintain and extend. Users can often directly experience these issues as instabilities in system behavior. Thus code quality is a key issue for users and contributors in FOSS. We present a case study on the interactions between code quality and contributor experience in the real-world FOSS project Catrobat. We describe the implications of a refactoring process in terms of code metrics and benefits for developers and users.},

abstract = {As a software evolves its code requires constant updating. In this sense, refactoring edits aim at improving structural aspects of a code without changing its external behavior. However, studies show that developers tend to combine in a single commit refactorings and behavior-changing edits (extra edits) - floss-refactoring. Floss-refactorings can be error-prone and require careful handling. However, little has been done to understand how refactorings and extra edits relate in practice. In this work, we propose a strategy for extracting floss-refactoring data. Moreover, we mine code repositories of 16 open-source projects and analyse commits with floss refactoring related to Extract Method. Our results show that developers often combine Extract Method with inner method extra edits (e.g., statement insert), with an expected increase of 8-16% of extra edits by each Extract Method. Moreover, some statements are more likely to be changed depending on the extra edit performed.},

However, the research on the relationship between network structure and developers’ contribution is still insufficient. This paper investigates developer collaboration networks in three OSS communities by data analytics. The results indicate that real networks are mainly characterized by the modular small-world structure, which is inherently correlated with the sub-project participation of developers. Most module members are single-dimensional developers whose coding-collaboration focuses on a small number of sub-projects (called the main dimension of the module), while a small proportion of module members are multi-dimensional developers who conduct coding-collaboration in the main dimension of different modules. These results may deepen our understandings of the collaborative pattern of OSS communities, and also have some reference value for the studies of open collaborative innovation in large-scale crowds.},

abstract = {FAQ chatbots possess the capability to provide answers to frequently asked questions of a particular service, platform, or system. Currently, FAQ chatbot is the most popular domain of use of dialog assistants. However, developing a chatbot project requires a full-stack team formed by numerous specialists, such as dialog designer, data scientist, software engineer, DevOps, business strategist and experts from the domain, which can be both time and resources consuming. Language processing can be particularly challenging in languages other than English due to the scarcity of training datasets.Most of the requirements of FAQ chatbots are similar, domain-specific, and projects could profit from Open Source Software (OSS) reuse. In this paper, we examine how OSS FAQ chatbot projects can benefit from reuse at the project level (black-box reuse). We present an experience report of a FLOSS FAQ chatbot project developed in Portuguese to an e-government service in Brazil. It comprises of the chatbot distribution service, as well as for analytics tool integrated and deployed on-premises. We identified assets that could be reused as a black-box and the assets that should be customized for a particular application. We categorized these assets in architecture, corpus, dialog flows, machine learning models, and documentation. This paper discusses how automation, pre-configuration, and templates can aid newcomers to develop chatbots in Portuguese without the need for specialized skills required from tools in chatbot architecture. Our main contribution is to highlight the issues non-English FAQ chatbots projects will likely face and the assets that can be reused. It allows non-chatbot experts to develop a quality-assured OSS FAQ chatbot in a shorter project cycle.},

abstract = {Because of the increasing acceptance and possibly expanding market of free/libre open source software (FLOSS), the spectrum and scale of companies that participate in FLOSS development have substantially expanded in recent years. Companies get involved in FLOSS projects to acquire user innovations [3, 12], to reduce costs [8, 11], to make money on complementary services [13], etc. Such intense involvement may change the nature of FLOSS development and pose critical challenges for the sustainability of the projects. For example, it has been found that a company's full control and intense involvement is associated with a decrease of volunteer inflow [13]. Sometimes a project may fail after one company pulls resources from the project [13]. This raises concerns about the domination of one company in a project. In large projects like OpenStack, there are often hundreds of companies involved in contributing code. Despite substantial researches on commercial participation, whether or not one company dominates a project and the impact of such domination has never been explicitly explored. We investigate four main projects of OpenStack, a large ecosystem that has had a tremendous impact on computing and society, to answer the following research questions: Does one company dominate the project's development (RQ1)? If the answer to RQ1 is yes, does the domination affect the community (RQ2)?},

I contribute to prior work on learning within FLOSS and also to the learning sciences by illustrating how FLOSS supports lifelong learning and working by providing an ecosystem that allows participants to grow their knowledge of both technical and nontechnical skills over time through their association with different projects and people. I trace the learning trajectories of two participants from high school until they enter the professional workforce and beyond. I argue that FLOSS participation represents an ideal networked form of learning as it provides both socio-cognitive support for short term activities and also socio-temporal support for long term participation and learning. It is a unique form of apprenticeship that exists concurrently with formal educational experiences but unlike traditional apprenticeship experiences it succeeds by spanning different spatialities - place/space and technology mix -and temporal scales.},

abstract = {Background: While FLOSS projects espouse openness and acceptance for all, in practice, female contributors often face discriminatory barriers to contribution. Aims: In this paper, we examine the extent to which these problems still exist. We also study male and female contributors' perceptions of other contributors. Method: We surveyed participants from 15 FLOSS projects, asking a series of open-ended, closed-ended, and behavioral scale questions to gather information about the issue of gender in FLOSS projects. Results: Though many of those we surveyed expressed a positive sentiment towards females who participate in FLOSS projects, some were still strongly against their inclusion. Often, the respondents who were against inclusiveness also believed their own sentiments were the prevailing belief in the community, contrary to our findings. Others did not see the purpose of attempting to be inclusive, expressing the sentiment that a discussion of gender has no place in FLOSS. Conclusions: FLOSS projects have started to move forwards in terms of gender acceptance. However, there is still a need for more progress in the inclusion of gender-diverse contributors.},

abstract = {Electronic documents are being more and more usable thanks to better and more affordable network, storage and computational facilities. But in order to benefit from computer-aided document management, paper documents must be digitized and analyzed. This task may be challenging at several levels. Data may be of multiple types thus requiring different adapted processing chains. The tools to be developed should also take into account the needs and knowledge of users, ranging from a simple graphical application to a complete programming framework. Finally, the data sets to process may be large. In this paper, we expose a set of features that a Document Image Analysis framework should provide to handle the previous issues. In particular, a good strategy to address both flexibility and efficiency issues is the Generic Programming (GP) paradigm. These ideas are implemented as an open source module, SCRIBO, built on top of Olena, a generic and efficient image processing platform. Our solution features services such as preprocessing filters, text detection, page segmentation and document reconstruction (as XML, PDF or HTML documents). This framework, composed of reusable software components, can be used to create full-fledged graphical applications, small utilities, or processing chains to be integrated into third-party projects.},

A systematic mapping study (SMS) performed in 2013 structured the research area on the use of FLOSS projects in SEE. Objective: Update the 2013 SMS with studies published in the last five years, classifying and summarizing them to discuss trends and identify research gaps in the context of the use of FLOSS projects in SEE. Method: We retrieved and analyzed a set of 4132 papers published from 2013 to 2017, from which 33 papers were selected and classified. We analyzed the new results and compared them with those from the previous SMS to confirm or discover trends. Results: The updated mapping summarizes the studies published in the last five years, most of them in conferences. Our analysis confirmed trends previously observed for three facets (SE area, curriculum choice and assessment type) and discovered new trends for other facets. Conclusion: Studies report the use of FLOSS projects in regular, comprehensive SE courses. The prevalence of experience reports over solution proposals in the last five years may indicate that researchers are more concerned with the use and evaluation of existing proposals, although there are still opportunities for more empirical work based on sound educational research methods.},

abstract = {The development of open source software (OSS) is a broad field which requires diverse skill sets. For example, maintainers help lead the project and promote its longevity, technical writers assist with documentation, bug reporters identify defects in software, and developers program the software.
However, it is unknown which skills are used in OSS development as well as OSS contributors' general attitudes towards skills in OSS. In this paper, we address this gap by administering a survey to a diverse set of 455 OSS contributors. Guided by these responses as well as prior literature on software development expertise and social factors of OSS, we develop a model of skills in OSS that considers the many contexts OSS contributors work in. This model has 45 skills in the following 9 categories: technical skills, working styles, problem solving, contribution types, project-specific skills, interpersonal skills, external relations, management, and characteristics. Through a mix of qualitative and quantitative analyses, we find that OSS contributors are actively motivated to improve skills and perceive many benefits in sharing their skills with others. We then use this analysis to derive a set of design implications and best practices for those who incorporate skills into OSS tools and platforms, such as GitHub.},

abstract = {Since the 80's, education (training, education and training per se) in the legislative context meant the employee training standards and rules arising from the specific laws of "home" legislation. Analogous to the process of structural changes in economy and politics in the late 80's, Brazil also promoted the modernization of their legislative houses. Through funding from the Interamerican Development Bank, it was possible to promote the program InterLegis. The objective of this program was the modernization and integration of the Legislature in its federal, state and municipal levels and promoting greater transparency and interaction with society that Power. Soon became apparent that the model open, collaborative and open management of knowledge and information InterLegis was an innovative model, but above all, there were still limits and challenges to the Legislature and can education and development of officials and parliamentarians of the Legislative Houses. This article will seek to identify the limits and challenges of improving this innovative model of using free software and web-based collaborative environment and information and communication technologies. Methodologically this article is structured from a previous exploratory research, checking conditions and models of InterLegis, besides the participation of the authors within the mailing lists and use of information packets and applications available on the web environment of the program. It was performed an exploratory research the topic of collaborative scientific production, electronic government and electronic governance and the use of free software by government, where they found several articles and texts. As a further step was made a theoretical framework on these themes that helped formulate the analysis of the limits and challenges of the open model, collaborative and open management of knowledge and information InterLegis.},

For the simulation community, the open source movement represents an opportunity to improve the quality of common core simulation functions, improve the potential for creating reusable modeling components from those core functions, and improve the ability to merge those components using XML, HLA and other simulation community standards. This paper extends the OpenSML-project by using universal, language independent XML-descriptions and code generators for converting OpenSML-models to programs in Java, VisualBasic or C++.

abstract = {Keeping open-source software (OSS) up to date is one potential solution to prevent known vulnerabilities. However, it requires frequent and costly testing and may introduce compatibility issues. Consequently, developers often choose to backport security patches to the vulnerable versions instead. Manual backporting is time-consuming, especially for large OSS such as the Linux kernel. Therefore, automating this process is urgently needed to save considerable time. Existing automated approaches for backporting patches involve either automatic patch generation or automatic patch migration. However, these methods are often ineffective and error-prone since they failed to locate the precise patch locations or generate the correct patch, operating only on the syntactic level.In this paper, we propose a patch type-sensitive approach to automatically backport OSS security patches, guided by the patch type and patch semantics. Specifically, our approach identifies patch locations with the aid of program dependency graph-based matching at the semantic level. It further applies fine-grained patch migration and fine-tuning based on patch types. We have implemented our approach in a tool named TSBPORT and evaluated it on a large-scale dataset consisting of 1,815 pairs of real-world security patches for the Linux kernel. The evaluation results show that TSBPORT successfully backported 1,589 (87.59%) patches, out of which 587 (32.34%) could not be backported by any state-of-the-art approaches, significantly outperforming state-of-the-art approaches. In addition, experiments also show that TSBPORT can be generalized to backport patches in other OSS projects with a success rate of 88.18%.},

The need to collaborate with other contributors and to contribute to a project can motivate and implicitly foster learning. In order to validate such statements, it is necessary to (1) study the interactions between FLOSS projects' participants, and (2) explore the didactical value of participating in FLOSS projects, designing an appropriate questionnaire asking FLOSS contributors about their experience in FLOSS projects. In this paper, we illustrate how this questionnaire was designed and disseminated. We conclude the paper with results from 27 FLOSS projects contributors, determining that, not only they contribute and collaborate to the project and its community, but also that FLOSS contributors see that this type of activity can be regarded as a complement to formal education.},

abstract = {Effectively onboarding newcomers is essential for the success of open source projects. These projects often provide onboarding guidelines in their ’CONTRIBUTING’ files (e.g., CONTRIBUTING.md on GitHub). These files explain, for example, how to find open tasks, implement solutions, and submit code for review. However, these files often do not follow a standard structure, can be too large, and miss barriers commonly found by newcomers. In this paper, we propose an automated approach to parse these CONTRIBUTING files and assess how they address onboarding barriers. We manually classified a sample of files according to a model of onboarding barriers from the literature, trained a machine learning classifier that automatically predicts the categories of each paragraph (precision: 0.655, recall: 0.662), and surveyed developers to investigate their perspective of the predictions’ adequacy (75% of the predictions were considered adequate). We found that CONTRIBUTING files typically do not cover the barriers newcomers face (52% of the analyzed projects missed at least 3 out of the 6 barriers faced by newcomers; 84% missed at least 2). Our analysis also revealed that information about choosing a task and talking with the community, two of the most recurrent barriers newcomers face, are neglected in more than 75% of the projects. We made available our classifier as an online service that analyzes the content of a given CONTRIBUTING file. Our approach may help community builders identify missing information in the project ecosystem they maintain and newcomers can understand what to expect in CONTRIBUTING files.},

abstract = {Cloud computing and open source are two disruptive innovations. Both deeply modify the way the computer resources are made available and monetized. They evolve between competition (e.g. open source software for desktop versus SaaS applications) and complementarity (e.g. cloud solutions based on open source components or cloud applications published under open source license). PaaSage is an open source integrated platform to support both design and deployment of cloud applications. The PaaSage consortium decided to publish the source code as open source. It needed a process for the open source license selection. Open source licensing scheme born before the development of cloud computing and evolved with the creation of new open source licenses suitable for SaaS applications. The license is a part of project governance and strongly influences the life of the project. In the context of the PaaSage European project, the issue of the open source license selection for cloud computing software has been addressed. The first section of the paper describes the state of the art about open source licenses including the known issues, a generic license-selection scheme and the automated source code analysis practices. The second section studies the common choices of licenses in cloud computing projects. The third section proposes a FLOSS license-selection process for cloud computing project following five steps: (1) inventoring software components, (2) selecting open source license, (3) approving license selection (vote), (4) spreading practical details and (5) monitoring source code. The fourth section describes the PaaSage use case. The last section consists in a discussion of the results.},

abstract = {Many studies have shown the benefits of introducing open-source projects into teaching Software Engineering (SE) courses. However, there are several limitations of existing studies that limit the wide adaptation of open-source projects in a classroom setting, including (1) the selected project is limited to one particular project, (2) most studies only investigated on its effect on teaching a specific SE concept, and (3) students may make mistakes in their contribution which leads to poor quality code. Meanwhile, software companies have successfully launched programs like Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and FindBugs "fixit" to contribute to open-source projects. Inspired by the success of these programs, we propose GitHub-OSS Fixit, a team-based course project where students are taught to contribute to open-source Java projects by fixing bugs reported in GitHub. We described our course outline to teach students SE concepts by encouraging the usages of several automated program analysis tools. We also included the carefully designed instructions that we gave to students for participating in GitHub-OSS Fixit. As all lectures and labs are conducted online, we think that our course design could help in guiding future online SE courses. Overall, our survey results show that students think that GitHub-OSS Fixit could help them to improve many skills and apply the knowledge taught in class. In total, 154 students have submitted 214 pull requests to 24 different Java projects, in which 93 of them have been merged, and 46 have been closed by developers.},

We develop a framework articulating the characteristics of documents supporting collaborators with asymmetric access to knowledge versus those with symmetric knowledge. Drawing on theories about document genre, boundary objects and provenance, we hypothesize that documents supporting asymmetric groups are likely to articulate or prescribe their own 1) purpose, 2) context of use, 3) content and form and 4) provenance in greater detail than documents used by people with symmetric access to knowledge. We test these hypotheses through content analysis of documents and instructions from a variety of free/libre open source projects. We present findings consistent with the hypotheses developed as well as results extending beyond our theory derived assumptions. The study suggests new directions for research on communications in online communities, as well as advice for those supporting such communities.},

abstract = {Sustainability in Open Source Software (OSS) projects is crucial for long-term innovation, community support, and the enduring success of open-source solutions. Although multitude of studies have provided effective models for OSS sustainability, their practical implications have been lacking because most identified features are not amenable to direct tuning by developers (e.g., levels of communication, number of commits per project).
In this paper, we report on preliminary work toward making models more actionable based on evidence-based findings from prior research. Given a set of identified features of interest to OSS project sustainability, we performed comprehensive literature review related to those features to uncover practical, evidence-based advice, which we call Researched Actionables (ReACTs). The ReACTs are practical advice with specific steps, found in prior work to associate with tangible results. Starting from a set of sustainability-related features, this study contributes 105 ReACTs to the SE community by analyzing 186 published articles. Moreover, this study introduces a newly developed tool (ReACTive) designed to enhance the exploration of ReACTs through visualization across various facets of the OSS ecosystem. The ReACTs idea opens new avenues for connecting SE metrics to actionable research in SE in general.},

Identifying the important packages can help editors focus their efforts on parts of the distribution where errors will have important consequences.},

During its short lifetime, the Project has inspired increasing numbers of students and instructors to make significant contributions to several humanitarian open source software development projects. In the last four years, the HFOSS Project has received material support from several partners, including the National Science Foundation, Accenture, Google, and Mozilla. This support has enabled the Project to expand its reach to add new college and university partners and to add more humanitarian software projects. Contributions to the HFOSS Project come from professionals in academia, IT organizations, and non-profit organizations that engage undergraduate students in courses, research projects, and summer internship experiences. Its curriculum is accessible to a wide range of undergraduates, since it includes courses for non- majors as well as computer science and engineering majors. This paper describes all these activities and their impact on undergraduate computing education, local non-profit organizations, and global FOSS communities. It concludes by identifying the progress that the HFOSS Project has made toward developing a sustainable infrastructure.},

abstract = {Background. The effect of gender diversity in open source communities has gained increasing attention from practitioners and researchers. For instance, organizations such as the Python Software Foundation and the OpenStack Foundation started actions to increase gender diversity and promote women to top positions in the communities. Problem. Although the general underrepresentation of women (a.k.a. horizontal segregation) in open source communities has been explored in a number of research studies, little is known about the vertical segregation in open source communities---which occurs when there are fewer women in high level positions. Aims. To address this research gap, in this paper we present the results of a mixed-methods study on gender diversity and work practices of core developers contributing to open-source communities. Method. In the first study, we used mining-software repositories procedures to identify the core developers of 711 open source projects, in order to understand how common are women core developers in open source communities and characterize their work practices. In the second study, we surveyed the women core developers we identified in the first study to collect their perceptions of gender diversity and gender bias they might have observed while contributing to open source systems. Results. Our findings show that open source communities present both horizontal and vertical segregation (only 2.3% of the core developers are women). Nevertheless, differently from previous studies, most of the women core developers (65.7%) report never having experienced gender discrimination when contributing to an open source project. Finally, we did not note substantial differences between the work practices among women and men core developers. Conclusions. We reflect on these findings and present some ideas that might increase the participation of women in open source communities.},

abstract = {(Background) Software vulnerabilities pose a serious threat to the security of computer systems. Hence, there is a constant race for defenders to find and patch them before attackers are able to exploit them. Measuring different aspects of this process is important in order to better understand it and improve the odds for defenders. (Aims) The human factor of the vulnerability discovery and patching process has received limited attention. Better knowledge of the characteristics of the people and organizations who discover and report security vulnerabilities can considerably enhance our understanding of the process, provide insights regarding the expended effort in vulnerability hunting, contribute to better security metrics, and help guide practical decisions regarding the strategy of projects to attract vulnerability researchers.(Method) In this paper, we present what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first large-scale empirical study on the people and organizations who report vulnerabilities in popular FLOSS projects. Collecting data from a multitude of publicly available sources (NVD, bug-tracking platforms, vendor advisories, source code repositories), we create a dataset of reporter information for 2193 unique reporting entities of 4756 CVEs affecting the Mozilla suite, Apache httpd, the PHP interpreter, and the Linux kernel. We use the dataset to investigate several aspects of the vulnerability discovery process, specifically regarding the distribution of contributions, their temporal characteristics, and the motivations of reporters.(Results) Among our results: around 80% of reports come from 20% of reporters; first time reporters are significant contributors to the yearly total in all 4 projects; productive reporters are specialized w.r.t. the project and vulnerability types; around half of all reports come from reporters acknowledging an affiliation.(Conclusions) Projects depend both on a core of dedicated and productive reporters, and on small contributions from a large number of community reporters. The generalized Pareto principle (the (1 - p)/p law) can be used as a metric for the concentration of contributions in the vulnerability-reporting ecosystem of a project.},

abstract = {OSS-based learning refers to using open source software (OSS) and their sociotechnical practices in the pedagogical context. Several educators reported its benefits and barriers within different contexts, goals, and areas of knowledge, bringing evidence that it is a feasible approach to address Software Engineering Education challenges. Some appealing factors to adopting OSS-based learning are the availability of the software source code and workflows, access to the OSS community, and information about its development and evolution, which may improve the learning of SE concepts and practices and foster students’ engagement in real-world projects. Observing students as they work towards hard and soft skills, understanding, engaging with, and eventually contributing to an OSS project is a rewarding part of the routine of educators who have recognized the benefits of OSS-based learning and adopted it in their classes. We report our experience after delivering a “hands-on” course to introduce graduate students to OSS projects and their sociotechnical practices. Some graduate students were higher education instructors in other institutions. We present the course design and details of its execution, followed by a reflection based on students’ feedback and our perceptions of gains and pains. Overall, students valued the course and were highly motivated to explore OSS, especially those who worked as educators. Most of the feedback concerning the course methodology was positive, but some students requested more information about the weekly lesson plans in advance. We hope this experience report helps to demystify OSS, inspire educators to adopt OSS projects in their courses, and foster instructors’ and students’ engagement with OSS projects.},

Core contributors and peripheral contributors work together to create a successful project, each playing a different role. One-Time Contributors (OTCs), who are on the very fringe of the peripheral developers, are largely unstudied despite offering unique insights into the development process. In a prior survey, we identified OTCs and discovered their motivations and barriers. Aims: The objective of this study is to corroborate the survey results and provide a better understand of OTCs. We compare OTCs to other peripheral and core contributors to determine whether they are distinct. Method: We mined data from the same code-review repository used to identify survey respondents in our previous study. After identifying each contributor as core, periphery, or OTC, we compared them in terms of patch size, time interval from submission to decision, the nature of their conversations, and patch acceptance rates. Results: We identified a continuum between core developers and OTCs. OTCs create smaller patches, face longer time intervals between patch submission and rejection, have longer review conversations, and face lower patch acceptance rates. Conversely, core contributors create larger patches, face shorter time intervals for feedback, have shorter review conversations, and have patches accepted at the highest rate. The peripheral developers fall in between the OTCs and the core contributors. Conclusion: OTCs do, in fact, face the barriers identified in our prior survey. They represent a distinct group of contributors compared to core and peripheral developers.},

abstract = {Modern societies face high demands for skilled professionals, able to successfully design, deploy and utilize complex Information Technology (IT) --enabled socio-technical systems at ever-increasing levels of reliability and security. Contrary to traditional education practices, the high-level training required to fulfill this demand should rely on the principle that the learners are themselves responsible for their learning process, that they have control over this process, and that the process aims at developing cross-disciplinary and problem-driven competences, not only at acquiring content knowledge. However, such training requires the presence of a highly interactive, problem-oriented environment for technology-supported learning (or e-learning). This poster presents a doctoral research project, which aims at designing, validating and monitoring a collaborative e-learning environment based on the principles of Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS). In order to validate its outcomes, the project will rely on two real-life professional training programs: in Software Engineering for software managers and in e-Government for public managers. The poster presents the objectives, research methodology and expected results from this project.},

abstract = {Open Source license is a prerequisite for open source software, which regulates the use, modification, redistribution, and attribution of the software. Open source license is crucial to the community development and commercial interests of an OSS project, yet choosing a proper license from hundreds of licenses remains challenging. Tools assisting developers to understand the terms and pick the right license have been emerging, while inferring license compatibility on the dependency tree and satisfying the complex needs of developers are beyond the capability of most of them. Thus we propose LicenseRec, an open source license recommendation tool that helps to bridge the gap. LicenseRec performs fine-grained license compatibility checks on OSS projects' code and dependencies, and assists developers to choose the optimal license through an interactive wizard with guidelines of three aspects: personal open source style, business pattern, and community development. The usefulness of LicenseRec is confirmed by the consistent positive feedback from 10 software developers with academic and industrial backgrounds. Our tool is accessible at https://licenserec.com and a video showcasing the tool is available at https://video.licenserec.com.},

In this paper we describe our method to produce test and training data sets to assist in this task. Our test data sets are taken from the domain of free, libre, and open source software (FLOSS) development communities. We describe our process in constructing helper sets of relevant data, such as profanity lists, lists of insults, and lists of projects with their codes of conduct. Contributions of this paper are to describe the background literature on computer-aided methods of recognizing insulting or profane speech, to describe the parameters of data sets that are useful in this work, and to outline how FLOSS communities are such a rich source of insulting or profane speech data. We then describe our data sets in detail, including how we created these data sets, and provide some initial guidelines for usage.},

abstract = {Open source software (OSS) has been widely used to accelerate software development, inevitably exposing downstr omissions and false positives; omissions put applications and their users at risk, and false positives increase the burden on software developers and users. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a two-phase based approach for JAVA OSS vulnerability analysis. To reduce underreporting, we construct a comprehensive third-party library and vulnerability association database; to avoid false positives, first, we use a static analysis method to extract the structure-aware call graph (SACG) of oss and locate the information of the vulnerability functions; second, we compare the similarity between the OSS vulnerability functions and the pre-patch and post-patch functions based on the vulnerability patches to determine the existence of the patches in the OSS, and then verify the OSS vulnerability information. We evaluate the method on a dataset of 7 open source projects and 167 vulnerability information, and the F1 value of the method is 0.779, which is higher than the currently available SOTA tools.},

Such is probably the reason for a number of higher education institutions to include in their Software Engineering curricula some form of contact with the FLOSS reality. This paper explores such a perspective through an on-going case study on university students' collaboration in FLOSS projects. The aim of this research is to 1 identify what should be learnt about software development through regular participation in a FLOSS project/community, and 2 assess the didactic potential of this kind of non-standard learning experiences. To this aim we resorted to a participatory research action approach and qualitative methods, namely case studies combining direct observation and interviews.},

abstract = {Company engagement in open source (OSS) is now the new norm. From large technology companies to startups, companies are participating in the OSS ecosystem by open-sourcing their technology, sponsoring projects through funding or paid developer time. However, our understanding of the OSS ecosystem is rooted in the "old world" model where individual contributors sustain OSS projects. In this work, we create a more comprehensive understanding of the hybrid OSS landscape by investigating what motivates companies to contribute and how they contribute to OSS. We conducted interviews with 20 participants who have different roles (e.g., CEO, OSPO Lead, Ecosystem Strategist) at 17 different companies of different sizes from large companies (e.g. Microsoft, RedHat, Google, Spotify) to startups. Data from semi-structured interviews reveal that company motivations can be categorized into four levels (Founders' Vision, Reputation, Business Advantage, and Reciprocity) and companies participate through different mechanisms (e.g., Developers' Time, Mentoring Time, Advocacy & Promotion Time), each of which tie to the different types of motivations. We hope our findings nudge more companies to participate in the OSS ecosystem, helping make it robust, diverse, and sustainable.},

Unfortunately, the current state-of-the-art is poorly equipped to mine floss refactoring from version histories, mainly because they infer refactorings by comparing two snapshots of a system and making educated guesses about the precise edit operations applied in between. In this paper we propose a solution that reconstructs refactorings not on snapshots of a system but using the actual changes as they are performed in an integrated development environment. We compare our solution against RefFinder and demonstrate that on a small yet representative program (the well-known "Video Rental system") our approach is more accurate in identifying occurrences of the "Move Method" and "Rename Method" refactorings.},

Although machine learning-based toxicity detection tools trained on domain-specific data have shown promise, their design lacks an understanding of the unique nature and triggers of toxicity in OSS discussions, highlighting the need for further investigation. In this study, we employ Moral Foundations Theory to examine the relationship between moral principles and toxicity in OSS. Specifically, we analyze toxic communications in GitHub issue threads to identify and understand five types of moral principles exhibited in text, and explore their potential association with toxic behavior. Our preliminary findings suggest a possible link between moral principles and toxic comments in OSS communications, with each moral principle associated with at least one type of toxicity. The potential of MFT in toxicity detection warrants further investigation.},

These spaces exist to provide a common forum for discussion, support, empowerment, and engagement of minorities in OSS. Our analysis focuses on the messages related to sexism and discrimination experiences as posted on these discussion forums by women of OSS. The results demonstrate examples of harassment, the support that these spaces provide, and the impact of the discrimination on the presence of women in OSS in general.

Proper empirical methods that can shed light into FLOSS development are desirable. In this paper, we propose an empirical method to validate a software development model for FLOSS, the Adapted Staged Model for FLOSS. We mined some selected metrics from Apache Ivy and study their evolution using S-shaped curves. Our results indicate that S-shaped curves can model software evolution well for Ivy. Moreover, we demonstrated that our method can be used to identify successfully different stages of its development, validating part of the Adapted Staged Model for FLOSS.},

abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) projects play a critical role in the digital infrastructure of companies and services provided to millions of people. Given their importance, understanding the resilience of OSS projects is paramount. A primary reason for OSS project failure is the shock caused by the dropout of a core developer, which can jeopardize productivity and project survival. Using a difference-in-differences (DiD) analysis, this study investigates the repercussions of this shock on the productivity of 8,234 developers identified among 9,573 OSS GitHub projects. Our findings reveal the indirect impact of the core developer's dropout. The remaining developers experienced a 20% productivity drop. This observation is troubling because it suggests that the shock might push other developers to drop out, putting the collaboration structure of the project at risk. Also, projects with higher productivity before the shock experienced a larger drop-down after the shock. This points to a tradeoff between productivity and resilience, i.e., the ability of OSS projects to recover from the dropout of a core developer. Our findings underscore the importance of a balanced approach in OSS project management, harmonizing productivity goals with resilience considerations.},

abstract = {Tools and artifacts produced by open source software (OSS) have been woven into the foundation of the technology industry. To keep this foundation intact, the open source community needs to actively invest in sustainable approaches to bring in new contributors and nurture existing ones. We take a first step at this by collaboratively designing a maintainer dashboard that provides recommendations on how to attract and retain open source contributors. For example, by highlighting project goals (e.g., a social good cause) to attract diverse contributors and mechanisms to acknowledge (e.g., a "rising contributor" badge) existing contributors. Next, we conduct a project-specific evaluation with maintainers to better understand use cases in which this tool will be most helpful at supporting their plans for growth. From analyzing feedback, we find recommendations to be useful at signaling projects as welcoming and providing gentle nudges for maintainers to proactively recognize emerging contributors. However, there are complexities to consider when designing recommendations such as the project current development state (e.g., deadlines, milestones, refactoring) and governance model. Finally, we distill our findings to share what the future of recommendations in open source looks like and how to make these recommendations most meaningful over time.Open Source Software (OSS) plays an important role in the development and maintenance of software products that are widely deployed in different domains from computer science to astrophysics and cutting edge medicines research. Chances are there is an open source project for anyone to contribute to. With the recent deployment of the popular Linux open source project on Mars even the sky is no limit. However, OSS projects largely depend on volunteers and attracting, retaining, and keeping contributors engaged is a severe challenge. In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of a dashboard to support community managers, such as maintainers, to track and acknowledge newcomers' contributions. With the support of tools such as ours, maintainers will be better prepared to attract and retain their emerging community.},

abstract = {Past software engineering literature has firmly established that software architectures and the associated code decay over time. Architectural decay is, potentially, a major issue in Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects,since developers sporadically joining FLOSS projects do not always have a clear understanding of the underlying architecture, and may break the overall conceptual structure by several small changes to the code base.This paper investigates whether the structure of a FLOSS system and its decay can also be influenced by the repository in which it is retained: specifically,two FLOSS repositories are studied to understand whether the complexity of the software structure in the sampled projects is comparable, or one repository hosts more complex systems than the other. It is also studied whether the effort to counteract this complexity is dependent on the repository, and the governance it gives to the hosted projects.The results of the paper are two-fold: on one side, it is shown that the repository hosting larger and more active projects presents more complex structures. On the other side, these larger and more complex systems benefit from more anti-regressive work to reduce this complexity.},

abstract = {The FLOSSMetrics project has set up a system that has already collected detailed information from software development repositories of about 3,000 FLOSS (free, libre, open source software) projects. The system is capable of retrieving data from source code management, mailing lists, and issue tracking repositories. All the data obtained is stored in an SQL database, with a structure intended to facilitate further analysis and studies. All the data is also published, so that researchers can use it for their own purposes. This paper describes how FLOSSMetrics can be used to better understand how a FLOSS project is developed, and how several projects can be compared, by analyzing some VoIP clients.},

abstract = {Interpersonal trust plays a crucial role in facilitating collaborative tasks, such as software development. While previous research recognizes the significance of trust in an organizational setting, there is a lack of understanding in how trust is exhibited in OSS distributed teams, where there is an absence of direct, in-person communications. To foster trust and collaboration in OSS teams, we need to understand what trust is and how it is exhibited in written developer communications (e.g., pull requests, chats). In this paper, we first investigate various dimensions of trust to identify the ways trusting behavior can be observed in OSS. Next, we sample a set of 100 GitHub pull requests from Apache Software Foundation (ASF) projects, to analyze and demonstrate how each dimension of trust can be exhibited. Our findings provide preliminary insights into cues that might be helpful to automatically assess team dynamics and establish interpersonal trust in OSS teams, leading to successful and sustainable OSS.},

abstract = {Open-source software (OSS) is software whose source code is available to view, change, and distribute without cost, and is typically developed in a collaborative manner that has captured the imagination of those who view the web as enabling more "democratic" models of governance. Researchers have, for years, debated the social structure of OSS projects -- in particular, the extent to which they represent decentralized forms of organization. Many have argued that the significant concentration of code development responsibility raises doubts about whether the level of power-sharing truly qualifies as "distributed" in the way early observers predicted. This research will investigate how changes in the technology that supports these projects -- specifically the greater visibility that characterizes the GitHub workspace may lead to a more broadly and quantifiably distributed leadership. Over the course of several studies employing several methodologies, it will examine leadership in OSS projects when visibility is a feature of the workspace.},

abstract = {Modern software engineering practice and training increasingly rely on Open Source Software (OSS). The recent growth in demand for professional software engineers has led to increased contributions to, and usage of, OSS. However, there is limited understanding of the factors affecting how developers, and how new or student developers in particular, decide which OSS projects to contribute to, a process critical to OSS sustainability, access, adoption, and growth. To better understand OSS contributions from the developers of tomorrow, we conducted a four-year study with 1,361 students investigating the life cycle of their contributions (from project selection to pull request acceptance). During the study, we also delivered a lightweight intervention to promote the awareness of open source projects for social good (OSS4SG), OSS projects that have positive impacts in other domains. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, we analyze student experience reports and the pull requests they submit. Compared to general OSS projects, we find significant differences in project selection (𝑝 < 0.0001, effect size = 0.84), student motivation (𝑝 < 0.01, effect size = 0.13), and increased pull-request acceptance rates for OSS4SG contributions. We also find that our intervention correlates with increased student contributions to OSS4SG (𝑝 < 0.0001, effect size = 0.38). Finally, we analyze correlations of factors such as gender or working with a partner. Our findings may help improve the experience for new developers participating in OSS4SG and the quality of their contributions. We also hope our work helps educators, project leaders, and contributors to build a mutually-beneficial framework for the future growth of OSS4SG.},

abstract = {A significant challenge in software engineering is accurately modeling projects in order to correctly forecast success or failure. The primary difficulty is that software development efforts are complex in terms of both the technical and social aspects of the engineering environment. This is compounded by the lack of real data that captures both the measures of success in performing a process, and the measures that reflect a group's social dynamics. This research focuses on the development of a model for predicting software project success that leverages the wealth of available open source project data in order to accurately forecast the behavior of those software engineering groups. The model accounts for both the technical elements of software engineering and the social elements that drive the decisions of individual developers. Agent-based simulations are used to represent the complexity of the group interactions, and the behavior of each agent is based on the acquired open source software engineering data. For four of the five project success measures, the results indicate that the developed model represents the underlying data well and provides accurate predictions of open source project success indicators.},

abstract = {Governance has been highlighted as a key factor in the success of an Open Source Software (OSS) project. It is generally seen that in a mixed meritocracy and autocracy governance model, the decision-making (DM) responsibility regarding what features are included in the OSS is shared among members from select roles; prominently the project leader. However, less examination has been made whether members from these roles are also prominent in DM discussions and how decisions are made, to show they play an integral role in the success of the project. We believe that to establish their influence, it is necessary to examine not only discussions of proposals in which the project leader makes the decisions, but also those where others make the decisions. Therefore, in this study, we examine the prominence of members performing different roles in: (i) making decisions, (ii) performing certain social roles in DM discussions (e.g., discussion starters), (iii) contributing to the OSS development social network through DM discussions, and (iv) how decisions are made under both scenarios. We examine these aspects in the evolution of the well-known Python project. We carried out a data-driven longitudinal study of their email communication spanning 20 years, comprising about 1.5 million emails. These emails contain decisions for 466 Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) that document the language’s evolution. Our findings make the influence of different roles transparent to future (new) members, other stakeholders, and more broadly, to the OSS research community.},

This study seeks ways of deriving competitive advantage with the use of FOSS in South African universities with specific reference to TUT. In other to achieve the above, the basics, problems and the benefits of FOSS are reviewed. Thereafter, the successful implementation of FOSS both in a developed country and a developing country are looked at. Furthermore, to enable an assessment of the possible impact of FOSS towards deriving competitive advantage, a SWOT analysis representing a synthesis between FOSS Strongpoint's, Weak points, and the Opportunities and Threats is presented in the South African context. Also done is an analysis based on the PESTE framework to identify the driving forces of change within the South African society in general as they relate to Political, Economic, Social Technological and Environmental factors that could have affected FOSS adoption. Similarly, Porter's 5 fundamental competitive forces are used to analyse the current FOSS phenomena towards the goal of enhancing FOSS adoption. A synthesis of these led to recommendations and concludes the study as a step towards increasing the awareness of FOSS and convincing users about the immense possibilities enabled by the silent revolution its double freedom in its enhanced form of Free / Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) phenomenon towards deriving competitive advantage.},

Most researchers, however, have not focused on the integrated study of these networks and, accordingly, in their interrelationships. This paper describes an approach and tool to combine multiple social networks to study the evolution of open-source projects.

abstract = {Since the users of open source software (OSS) projects may not use the latest version all the time, OSS development teams often support code maintenance for old versions through maintaining multiple stable branches. Typically, the developers create a stable branch for each old stable version, deploy security patches on the branch, and release fixed versions at regular intervals. As such, old-version applications in production environments are protected from the disclosed vulnerabilities in a long time. However, the rapidly growing number of OSS vulnerabilities has greatly strained this patch deployment model, and a critical need has arisen for the security community to understand the practice of security patch management across stable branches. In this work, we conduct a large-scale empirical study of stable branches in OSS projects and the security patches deployed on them via investigating 608 stable branches belonging to 26 popular OSS projects as well as more than 2,000 security fixes for 806 CVEs deployed on stable branches. Our study distills several important findings: (i) more than 80% affected CVE-Branch pairs are unpatched; (ii) the unpatched vulnerabilities could pose a serious security risk to applications in use, with 47.39% of them achieving a CVSS score over 7 (High or Critical Severity); and (iii) the patch porting process requires great manual efforts and takes an average of 40.46 days, significantly extending the time window for N-day vulnerability attacks. Our results reveal the worrying state of security patch management across stable branches. We hope our study can shed some light on improving the practice of patch management in OSS projects.},

This paper presents an approach to data collection by using aggregation of feeds published by the different tools of a software forge. To allow this aggregation, collected data is semantically reformatted into Semantic Web standards: RDF, DC, DOAP, FOAF and EvoOnt. Resulting data can then be processed, re-published or displayed to project members. This approach was used to implement a supervision module that is integrated into the PicoForge platform. This module is able to draw a live graph of the social community out of the different sources of data, and in turn exports semantic feeds for other uses.},

Current literature explains the contributors' lifecycle, starting with the motivations that drive people to contribute and barriers to joining OSS projects, covering developers' evolution until they become core members. However, the stages when developers leave the projects are still weakly explored and are not well-defined in existing developers' lifecycle models. In this position paper, we enrich the knowledge about the leaving stage by identifying sleeping and dead states, representing temporary and permanent brakes that developers take from contributing. We conducted a preliminary set of semi-structured interviews with active developers. We analyzed the answers by focusing on defining and understanding the reasons for the transitions to/from sleeping and dead states. This paper raises new questions that may guide further discussions and research, which may ultimately benefit OSS communities.},

abstract = {Motivation of free, libre and open source software developers has been widely studied over the years. The reasons people engage in this seemingly altruistic behavior have been elaborated and classified. The present work addresses a slightly different issue: what motivates individuals to participate in community network projects? Are the reasons similar to or quite distinct from these relevant to contributors to free software? Based on recently conducted interviews with community network activists from the Germany based project Freifunk and established FLOSS motivation research, we will analyse the specifics of the Freifunk project and the factors which spur its members to action. The obtained insights could then hopefully be used to understand the underlying group processes and help build sustainable communities.},

abstract = {Software developers who want to start contributing to an Open Source Software (OSS) project often struggle to find appropriate first tasks. The voluntary, self-organizing distribution of decentralized labor and the distinct nature of some OSS projects intensifies this challenge. Mentors, who work closely with newcomers, develop strategies to recommend tasks. However, to date neither the challenges mentors face in recommending tasks nor their strategies have been formally documented or studied. In this paper, we interviewed mentors of well-established OSS projects (n=10) and qualitatively analyzed their answers to identify both challenges and strategies related to recommending tasks for newcomers. Then, we employed a survey (n=30) to map the strategies to challenges and collect additional strategies. Our study identified 7 challenges and 13 strategies related to task recommendation. Strategies such as "tagging the issues based on difficulty," "adding documentation," "assigning a small task first and then challenge the newcomers with bigger tasks," and "dividing tasks into smaller pieces" were frequently mentioned as ways to overcome multiple challenges. Our results provide insights for mentors about the strategies OSS communities can use to guide their mentors and for tool builders who design automated support for task assignment.},

De-spite their different stocks of background knowledge, most of them engage in documentation, whether as writers or readers. This paper explores how documents serve such diverse users by building a framework articulating the characteristics of documents supporting collaborators with asymmetric access to knowledge versus people with symmetric knowledge. Drawing on document-centric approaches we hypothesize that documents supporting asymmetric groups are likely to be more prescriptive and explicate their own use compared to documents supporting symmetric groups. Through exploratory analysis of two kinds of documents, used across three FLOSS projects, we find that documents supporting collaborators with asymmetric knowledge do appear to explicate their own use in more detail. They do so by prescribing their own 1) purpose, 2) context of use, 3) content and form in greater detail than documents used by core community members with symmetric access to project knowledge.},

While release planning for proprietary software products is well-studied, little investigation has been performed for open source products. Various types of feature dependencies are known to impact both the planning and the subsequent maintenance process. In this paper, we provide the basic layout of a method to formulate and analyze feature dependencies defined at the code level. Dependencies are defined from evolutionary analysis of the commit graph of OSS code development and syntactical dependencies. We demonstrate our method with an explorative study of an open source project, the Spring Framework. From the analysis of the development cycles of two major releases over forty-one months, we could correlate late, increased feature dependencies with an increased number for subsequent improvements and bug fixes.},

Here, we describe our vision towards BugExchange, a system that curates tasks from OSS projects and helps train newcomers. While evaluating and executing these tasks, newcomers can gain an understanding about the project, its technology, and concepts. There are many challenges in designing such a system. For example, identifying the information needs of newcomers, creating task recommendations that match newcomers’ skills and career goals, and providing mentoring and networking support. We plan to leverage our previous work to conceive and prototype our system, which will include multiple research lines. BugExchange has the potential to improve newcomer learning experiences, reduce dropouts, and foster community building.},

Through a study of workers from two organizations working on FLOSS projects we identify the boundaries, in terms of productivity and quality of life, of virtual work and actions workers take in order to find a work-life balance. We found that although workers valued the flexibility of working from home, they had difficulty focusing on their work for sustained time periods and often felt isolated. This motivated them to use coworking spaces - physical spaces used as work space by workers not on the same team or even the same firm - as a critical part of their space ecology. In conjunction with their media ecology - a mix of communication technologies including IRC - the space/media mix allowed them to balance their work and personal lives. We draw implications for better supporting FLOSS and virtual work practices through design of media/space and work practices.},

For such software development paradigm, how to evaluate the skills of the developers comprehensively and automatically is critical. However, most of the existing researches assess the developers based on the Implementation aspects, such as the artifacts they created or edited. They ignore the developers' contributions in Social collaboration aspects, such as answering questions, giving advices, making comments or creating social connections. In this paper, we propose a novel model which evaluate the individuals' skills from both Implementation and Social collaboration aspects. Our model defines four metrics from muti-dimensions, including collaboration index, technical skill, community influence and development contribution. We carry out experiments on a real-world online software community. The results show that our approach can make more comprehensive measurement than the previous work.},

Research has been done to promote techniques and tools for providing open source developers with innovative features aiming at obtaining improvements in terms of development effort, cost savings, and developer productivity, just to mention a few. In the context of the EU H2020 CROSSMINER project we are conceiving a set of recommendations to assist software programmers in different phases of the development process. To this end, we defined a graph-based representation to encode in a homogeneous manner different aspects of OSS ecosystems as well as to incorporate various well-founded recommendation techniques. Following the proposed paradigm, we have implemented recommender systems for providing various artifacts, such as third-party libraries and API usage. The preliminary results we achieved so far are promising: our proposed systems are able to suggest highly relevant items with respect to the current development context. In this paper, we describe what has been achieved so far as well as our planned medium and longer-term objectives. As a proof of concept, we present a use case where we built a context-aware recommender system to recommend API function calls and usage patterns.},

However, it is unclear what automated testing practices exist, and how efficient or widespread such practices are within open source software. Although some organizations rigorously apply automated testing to their software, this rich pool of test code is not utilized to serve existing source code with poor or no test suites. To investigate how automated testing is performed in practice, we attempted a thorough, large-scale analysis of open source repositories. Alongside this analysis, we propose a novel approach to reuse such existing tests within projects that lack test code, hence leveraging the quality of such projects with minimal developer intervention. While such an analysis seems to be a straightforward task, we report on various practical challenges that hindered applying our proposed approach for tests' reuse. We present the challenges we have addressed so far, and those we expect to appear in the near future, in applying our approach for test reuse with open source projects.

Evolution history recorded in software repositories, e.g., Version Control Systems, reflects people's software development practice. Exploring this history could help practitioners to reuse the best practices therefore improve productivity and software quality. Because of the difficulty of collecting and standardizing data, most existing work could only utilize small project set. In this study, we target the open source software universe to build a universal code evolution model for large-scale data. We consider code evolution from two aspects: code version changing history in a single project and code reuse history in the whole universe. In the model, files/modules are built as nodes, and relations (version change or reuse) between files/modules are built as connections. Based on the model, we design and implement a code evolution review framework, i.e., Code Evolution Reviewer (CER), which provides a series of data interfaces to review code evolution history, in particular, code version changing in single project and code reuse among projects. Further, CER could be utilized to explore best practices across large-scale project set.},

abstract = {While complexity is an essential problem inherent in software system and its development, OSS (Open-Source Software) is not an exception and is not immune to this problem as well. The fast growth of OSS movement has impressed us with reduced cost but high quality software. To learn some lessons from successful OSS in handling the complexity, social network analysis is prevalent in analyzing both human-aspect and source-code-aspect interaction of OSS. This paper conducted an empirical study of an OSS project-ArgoUML. Unlike most previous studies regarding OSS email archives as a whole social network, our focus is on the quantitative analysis of a series of social networks produced in the process of OSS version evolution and module development.Through the empirical study, we have found that all the social network measures employed in this study are comparable to identify core developers of ArgoUML project. The frequency of co-occurrence of developers within the same topic is not a decisive factor to identify core developers. Developers within the same module communicate closely and frequently with each other. The more modules a developer developed, the more communication he (or she) will have with other developers. Although participants of developers' mailing lists are fluctuating in a large magnitude, the committers of the source code are kept stable in each version evolution. Moreover, the variation of committers of source code in version evolutions is almost unpredictable based on the variation of participants in developers' mailing lists.},

Although researchers have been studying the evolution of software systems since the early 70s, the study on the evolution of software development teams remains rare. Such evolutionary patterns and their impact on software quality are especially important in the context of OSS (Open Source Software) development, where a group of volunteer developers collaborate online for an extended period of time. By analyzing how social networks of developers evolve over time while building OSS products, we can gain knowledge and experience to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of resource management and distribution in future OSS projects. To this end, we studied the evolution of the developer communities using a suite of OSS products developed under the KOffice project. We found that in general, the social networks of OSS developer communities change over time in certain ways. Identifying such patterns can help OSS managers better understand the unique process of OSS development and improve their management and coordination of the projects.},

This work copes with a relevant issue for this architecture, namely unresponsive components because of deadlocks and infinite loops. In particular, a monitor sends heartbeat messages to a component that should reply within a timeout. The timeout choice is tricky, since it should be dynamically adapted to the load conditions of the system. Therefore, our approach is based on an adaptive heartbeat mechanism, in which the timeout is estimated from past response times. We implement and compare three estimation algorithms for the choice of the timeout in the context of the Minix 3 OS. From the analysis we derive useful guidelines for choosing the best algorithm with respect to system requirements.},

abstract = {Software forges are centralized online systems that provide useful tools to help distributed development teams work together, especially in free, libre, and open source software (FLOSS). Forge-provided tools may include web space, version control systems, mailing lists and communication forums, bug tracking systems, file downloads, wikis, and the like. Empirical software engineering researchers can mine the artifacts from these tools to better understand how FLOSS is made. As the landscape of distributed software development has grown and changed, the tools needed to make FLOSS have changed as well. There are three newer tools at the center of FLOSS development today: distributed version control based forges (like Github), programmer question-and-answer communities (like Stack Overflow), and paste bin tools (like Gist or Pastebin.com). These tools are extending and changing the toolset used for FLOSS development, and redefining what a software forge looks like. The main contributions of this paper are to describe each of these tools, to identify the data and artifacts available for mining from these tools, and to outline some of the ways researchers can use these artifacts to continue to understand how FLOSS is made.},

isbn = {9781467364416},
publisher = {IEEE Press},
abstract = {Many Open Source Software (OSS) projects are moving form Centralized Version Control (CVC) to Distributed Version Control (DVC). The effect of this shift on project organization and developer collaboration is not well understood. In this paper, we use a theoretical argument to evaluate the appropriateness of using DVC in the context of two very common organization forms in OSS: a dictatorship and a peer group. We find that DVC facilitates large hierarchical communities as well as smaller groups of developers, while CVC allows for consensus-building by a peer group. We also find that the flexibility of DVC systems allows for diverse styles of developer collaboration. With CVC, changes flow up and down (and publicly) via a central repository. In contrast, DVC facilitates collaboration in which work output can flow sideways (and privately) between collaborators, with no repository being inherently more important or central. These sideways flows are a relatively new concept. Developers on the Linux project, who tend to be experienced DVC users, cluster around "sandboxes:" repositories where developers can work together on a particular topic, isolating their changes from other developers. In this work, we focus on two large, mature OSS projects to illustrate these findings. However, we suggest that social media sites like GitHub may engender other original styles of collaboration that deserve further study.},

abstract = {Developers in complex, self-organized open-source projects often work on many different files, and over time switch focus between them. Shifting focus can have impact on the software quality and productivity, and is thus an important topic of investigation. In this paper, we study focus shifting patterns (FSPs) of developers by comparing trace data from a dozen open source software (OSS) projects of their longitudinal commit activities and file dependencies from the projects call graphs. Using information theoretic measures of network structure, we find that fairly complex focus-shifting patterns emerge, and FSPs in the same project are more similar to each other. We show that developers tend to shift focus along with, rather than away from, software dependency links described by the call graphs. This tendency becomes weaker as either the interval between successive commits, or the organizational distance between committed files (i.e. directory distance), gets larger. Interestingly, this tendency appears stronger with more productive developers. We hope our study will initiate interest in further understanding of FSPs, which can ultimately help to (1) improve current recommender systems to predict the next focus of developers, and (2) provide insight into better call graph design, so as to facilitate developers' work.},

year = {2012},
isbn = {9781467310673},
publisher = {IEEE Press},
abstract = {To survive and succeed, software projects need to attract and retain contributors. We model the individual's chances to become a valuable contributor through their capacity, willingness, and the opportunity to contribute at the time of joining. Using issue tracking data of Mozilla and Gnome, we find that the probability for a new joiner to become a Long Term Contributor (LTC) is associated with her willingness and environment. Specifically, during their first month, future LTCs tend to be more active and show more community-oriented attitude than other joiners. Joiners who start by commenting on instead of reporting an issue or ones who succeed to get at least one reported issue to be fixed, more than double their odds of becoming an LTC. The macro-climate with high project relative sociality and the micro-climate with a large, productive, and clustered peer group increase the odds. On the contrary, the macro-climate with high project popularity and the micro-climate with low attention from peers reduce the odds. This implies that the interaction between individual's attitude and project's climate are associated with the odds that an individual would become a valuable contributor or disengage from the project. Our findings may provide a basis for empirical approaches to design a better community architecture and to improve the experience of contributors.},

While previous evaluations consider status gains and competence evaluations to be key drivers for novices' joining behavior, it is unclear how FLOSS developers' relationships with others affect the attraction of new developers. In this research, we look at FLOSS developers' relationships in terms of positive evaluations given by others. Using this perspective, we examine how FLOSS developers' reputation among members within and beyond the project community affects their projects' ability to attract new developers. We draw on Social Resource Theory (SRT) and hypothesize that developers with a high reputation among others enjoy high visibility and credibility, which in turn helps their projects to attract new members. Finally, we propose an evaluation approach for our research model that examines the reputation and project behavior of more than 1,000 FLOSS developers on a longitudinal base.},

abstract = {Previous studies of Object-Oriented (OO) software have reported avoidance of the inheritance mechanism and cast doubt on the wisdom of ‘deep’ inheritance levels. From an evolutionary perspective, the picture is unclear - we still know relatively little about how, over time, changes tend to be applied by developers. Our conjecture is that an inheritance hierarchy will tend to grow ‘breadth-wise’ rather than ‘depth-wise’. This claim is made on the basis that developers will avoid extending depth in favour of breadth because of the inherent complexity of having to understand the functionality of superclasses. Thus the goal of our study is to investigate this empirically. We conduct an empirical study of seven Java Open-Source Systems (OSSs) over a series of releases to observe the nature and location of changes within the inheritance hierarchies. Results showed a strong tendency for classes to be added at levels one and two of the hierarchy (rather than anywhere else). Over 96% of classes added over the course of the versions of all systems were at level 1 or level 2. The results suggest that changes cluster in the shallow levels of a hierarchy; this is relevant for developers since it indicates where remedial activities such as refactoring should be focused.},

Although contributors' knowledge building has been repeatedly found to facilitate their project continuance, FLOSS projects are lacking operational advices on how to assist their members' learning. Drawing on previous literature which emphasizes project members' social interactions and their practical experiences to build new knowledge, we propose mentoring as a training method for FLOSS projects.

These leads can then be forwarded to the sales team for follow-up and can result in them potentially making a sale, thus increasing company revenue.Method: For the analysis of the forums, an untapped channel for sales leads by the company, text analysis techniques are utilized to identify potential sales leads and the discussion topics and sentiments in those leads.Results: Results of our preliminary work make a positive contribution in lessening the community manager's work in understanding the sentiment and discussion topics in the hybrid open source forum community, as well as make it easier and faster to identify potential future customers.Conclusion: We believe that the results will positively contribute to improving the sales of licenses for the hybrid open source company.},

In order to prevent conflicts from deescalating and ensure effective teamwork, companies pay careful attention to the management of members' spatial, temporal and cultural distances. While initiatives developing Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) similarly combine a worldwide distributed workforce, relatively little is known about how members' separation affects their collaboration. However, without such an understanding no adequate advice can be derived for managers of FLOSS initiatives on how to foster members' collaboration and retention. Building on lessons learned from the organizational domain this research hypothesizes that spatial, temporal and cultural distances are key factors for FLOSS developers' team integration and project retention. To evaluate our research hypotheses, we study FLOSS developers' contribution and conversation behavior and extract objective figures on their spatial, temporal and cultural distances to each other.},

However, sometimes students are demotivated to contribute due to entrance barriers. On the other hand, gamification is widely used to engage and motivate people to accomplish tasks and improve their performance. The goal of this work is to analyze the use of gamification to orient and motivate undergraduate students to overcome onboarding barriers and engage to OSS projects. To achieve this goal, we implemented four gaming elements (Quests, Points, Ranking, and Levels) in GitLab and assessed the environment by means of a study conducted with 17 students, within a real OSS project (JabRef). At the end of the study, the students evaluated their experience through a questionnaire. We found that the Quest element helped to guide participants and keep them motivated and points helped by providing feedback on students' performed tasks. We conclude that the gamified environment oriented the students in an attempt to make a contribution and that gamification can motivate and orient newcomers' to engage to OSS projects.},

By creating similar indices for OSS (or any) developers, this work could help defining a baseline for measuring and comparing the contributions of OSS developers in an objective, open and reproducible way.},

abstract = {When inspiring software developers to contribute to open source software, the act is often referenced as an opportunity to build tools to support the developer community. However, that is not the only charge that propels contributions--- growing interest in open source has also been attributed to software developers deciding to use their technical skills to benefit a common societal good. To understand how developers identify these projects, their motivations for contributing, and challenges they face, we conducted 21 semi-structured interviews with OSS for Social Good (OSS4SG) contributors. From our interview analysis, we identified themes of contribution styles that we wanted to understand at scale by deploying a survey to over 5765 OSS and Open Source Software for Social Good contributors. From our quantitative analysis of 517 responses, we find that the majority of contributors demonstrate a distinction between OSS4SG and OSS. Likewise, contributors described definitions based on what societal issue the project was to mitigate and who the outcomes of the project were going to benefit. In addition, we find that OSS4SG contributors focus less on benefiting themselves by padding their resume with new technology skills and are more interested in leaving their mark on society at statistically significant levels. We also find that OSS4SG contributors evaluate the owners of the project significantly more than OSS contributors. These findings inform implications to help contributors identify high societal impact projects, help project maintainers reduce barriers to entry, and help organizations understand why contributors are drawn to these projects to sustain active participation.},

In this paper, we expand and adapt a pair of population migration metrics to analyze migration trends in a collection of open source projects. Namely, we study: (1) project stickiness, i.e., its tendency to retain existing contributors and (2) project magnetism, i.e., its tendency to attract new contributors. Using quadrant plots, we classify projects as attractive (highly magnetic and sticky), stagnant (highly sticky, weakly magnetic), fluctuating (highly magnetic, weakly sticky), or terminal (weakly magnetic and sticky). Through analysis of the MSR challenge dataset, we find that: (1) quadrant plots can effectively identify at-risk projects, (2) stickiness is often motivated by professional activity and (3) transitions among quadrants as a project ages often coincides with interesting events in the evolution history of a project.},

This can be reached with shared information models providing a comprehensive insight into the entire operated heterogeneous environment. This paper contributes to this vision in two respects. It first introduces a technique for creating a federated information model by inter-relating existing and potentially very different domain specific models. Furthermore, the resulting federated model is used as structural base for defining probabilistic analysis with a Bayesian network. This demonstrates how valuable insights can be obtained through model federation rather than solely relying on separated models reaching only a limited set of information.},

We measure the quality of OSS in terms of number of defect fixed per software promotion, the number of defects reported at different severity levels and the average number of days for a defect to be fixed for each project team. The data required to conduct the analysis needs to be of OSS projects, their team structure and also contribution of the projects user community and immediate development team. We extract the communications pattern of OSS projects development teams from online forums or message boards as the developers are usually located in different geographic areas. We use SorceForge.net for collecting relevant coordination related data for this study; which is the central resource for hosting more than 100,000 open source development projects and with over 1 million registered users that participate in the development of high profile OSS projects. The outcome of this study suggests that there is a correlation between social network characteristics and strong and poor performing projects in an OSS environment.},

abstract = {An issue that has confounded the understanding of software development in the past is the role that different numbers of developers play in the construction and subsequent evolution of software. In this paper, we investigate that facet of software using a configurable simulation framework as a basis. The framework uses 'agents' to represent developers and models the costs associated with first comprehending and then applying necessary changes to a fictitious code base. It also considers agent 'memory recall' of their own code as a fundamental part of the framework and the fact that, with higher numbers of developers, maintenance of a higher proportion of other developers' code (rather than their own) is an inevitable, yet realistic aspect. Through exploration of the results and data produced by the simulation, we are able to explore 'desirable' features that are part of simulating software evolution; as a discussion of the issues raised by the framework, we provide a set of class data from four open-source systems by way of comparison and show that trends in those systems are comparable with results generated by the simulation. The paper thus provides evidence that we can use simulation tools to help model evolving systems, whether based on default settings or user-configurable settings.},

abstract = {Reliance on data for software systems engineering is increasing, e.g., to train machine learning applications. We foresee increasing costs for data collection and maintenance, leading to the risk of development budgets eaten up by commodity features, thus leaving little resources for differentiation and innovation. We therefore propose Open Collaborative Data (OCD) - a concept analogous to Open Source Software (OSS) - as a means to share data. In contrast to Open Data (OD), which e.g., governmental agencies provide to catalyze innovation, OCD is shared in open collaboration between commercial organizations, similar to OSS. To achieve this, there is a need for technical infrastructure (e.g., tools for version and access control), licence models, and governance models, all of which have to be tailored for data. However, as data may be sensitive for privacy, anonymization and obfuscation of data is also a research challenge. In this paper, we define the concept of Open Collaborative Data, demonstrate it by map data and image recognition examples, and outline a research agenda for OCD in software engineering as a basis for more efficient evolution of software systems.},

abstract = {Traditional Software Engineering courses commonly prioritize the teaching of methodologies and concepts in small and controlled environments. This decision is partly justified by the difficulty of bringing real software projects to the classroom. The ubiquity of Open Source Software (OSS) projects contributes to mitigating this problem. Several instructors already make use of contribution to OSS as part of the teaching and evaluation process in their courses. However, little is known about how students perceive the approach of contributing to OSS projects in the context of a Software Engineering course. This paper aims to uncover challenges and benefits from the students' perspective. To achieve this, we conducted14 semi-structured interviews with students who attended to this kind of courses in five different Brazilian universities, resulting in findings not so well known. For example, we noticed that, although instructors point to the projects that students are required to contribute to, students (and the project community) are involved in the process of choosing projects and tasks (issues). We also identified that students' contributions vary in terms of number of lines added and removed in commits, as well as the use of different programming languages.},

The forges tend to follow the lock-in phenomenon, providing no easy-to-use facilities for migrating projects or their parts between forge platforms. To facilitate the process of cross-forge project migration, the following paper presents an approach of lifting forge data models to the semantic level and applying rule-based mappings for their alignment. The approach also involves Semantic Web Services to handle the process of importing/exporting project metadata from/to Open Source Software forges. Finally, the paper demonstrates the approach on the basis of proof-of-concept implementation exploiting the existing forges and presents the lessons learnt.},

We investigate the importance of OSS peer review contributor roles and their review activities by using social network analysis (SNA), proposed as PeRSoN (Peer Review Social Network). As a case study, we extracted and analyzed the review process of Android Open Source Project (AOSP). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first research constructing social networks from mining a peer review repository. Our preliminary results provided hints on relationships among the OSS peer review contributor roles, their activities, and the network structure.

In this study we consider the current utility of XMI interchange for supporting OSS tool adoption to complement other tools in an embedded systems development context. We find that the current state of play is disappointing, and speculate that the problem lies both with the open standards and the way in which they are being supported and interpreted. There is a challenge here for the OSS community to take a lead as tool vendors gear up for XMI 2.0.},

The proposed system utilises the community formed around F/OSS projects to produce meaningful recommendations based on specific user preferences. We suggest that such an approach would overcome some of the difficulties complicating user choice by making useful suggestions and can fit seamlessly within the structure of the majority of F/OSS projects. The main focus of this work is on the end users of free and open source software and not on the developers of the software.

abstract = {It has become great prominence that business organizations are considering open source software (OSS) when looking for software system solutions. However, building applications based on open source software remains an essential issue for many software developers since the new development process differs from traditional in-house development. In this paper, we present a development process based on our experience on using open source software in application development. The new process emphasizes the early assessment to improve the architecture stability and project manageability by assessing available OSS. A set of measurable assessment criteria is established in assessing OSS candidates and making optimal decisions in the development process. A case study is discussed to show the application of this process.},

abstract = {Source code analysis tools have been the vehicle for measuring and assessing the quality of a software product for decades. However, recently many studies have shown that post-deployment end-user reviews provide a wealth of insight into the quality of a software product and how it should evolve and be maintained. For example, end-user reviews help to identify missing features or inform developers about incorrect or unexpected software behavior. We believe that analyzing end-user reviews and utilizing analysis tools are a crucial step towards understanding the complete picture of the quality of a software product, as well as towards reasoning about the evolution history of it. In this paper, we investigate whether both methods correlate with one another. In other words, we explore if there exists a relationship between user satisfaction and the application's internal quality characteristics. To conduct our research, we analyze a total of 46 actual releases of three Android open source software (OSS) applications on the Google Play Store. For each release, we employ multiple static analysis tools to assess several aspects of the application's software quality. We retrieve and manually analyze the complete reviews after each release of each application from its store page, totaling 1004 reviews. Our initial results suggest that having high or low code quality does not necessary ensure user overall satisfaction.},

The objective of our work is to understand and model the dynamics of OSS design that take place in mailing list exchanges. We show how quotation practices can be used to locate design relevant data in discussion archives. OSS developers use quotation as a mechanism to maintain the discursive context. To retrace thematic coherence in the online discussions of a major OSS project, Python, we follow how messages are linked through quotation practices. We compare our quotation-based analysis with a more conventional analysis: a thread-based of the reply-to links between messages. The advantages of a quotation-based analysis over a thread-based analysis are outlined. Our analysis reveals also the links between the social structure and elements in the discussion space and how it shapes influence in the design process.},

The Digital Video Broadcast - Return Channel Satellite (DVB-RCS) NetOps vision for remote management and monitoring aims to provide visibility and Situational Awareness to required communities of interest as well as the ability to view and configure all the operational layers DVB-RCS, including the devices and technology, operations and management, and missions and objectives.An effective management and monitoring solution for DVB-RCS must provide the capability to centrally manage and monitor the system, interoperate between SATCOM and terrestrial networks, consolidate technology, standardize processes, and be proactive rather than reactive. The DISN OSS is DISA's enterprise-wide Service Oriented Architecture for information sharing, management, and monitoring capabilities, based on the Telecommunications Management Network industry standards. The DISN OSS puts the information into the hands of the operators and system managers while making the processes, tools, and technology transparent to the consumer.This paper examines how DVB-RCS implemented the NetOps Portal as an immediate and interim solution to provide Situational Awareness to CENTCOM, as well as how leveraging the DISN OSS can help DVB-RCS achieve assured system and network availability, assured information protection, and assured information delivery in support of high-bandwidth, two-way services for the tactical Warfighter.},

abstract = {Refactoring, as a software engineering discipline has emerged over recent years to become an important aspect of maintaining software. Refactoring refers to the restructuring of software according to specific mechanics and principles. In this paper, we describe an analysis of the results from a tool whose purpose was to identify and extract refactorings from seven open-source Java systems. In particular, we analyzed the mechanics of the most commonly and least commonly applied refactorings to try and account for their frequency. Results showed the most common refactorings of the fifteen coined a 'Gang of Six', to be generally those with a high in-degree and low out-degree when mapped on a dependency graph; the same refactorings also featured strongly in the remedying of bad code smells. Remarkably and surprisingly, inheritance and encapsulationbased refactorings were found to have been applied relatively infrequently - we offer explanations for why this may be the case. The paper thus identifies 'core' refactorings central to many of the changes made by developers on open-source systems. While we can not guarantee that developers consciously undertake refactoring in any sense, the empirical results demonstrate that simple renaming and moving fields/methods between classes are common components of open-source system re-engineering. From a wider software engineering perspective, knowledge of what a modification will incur in likely sub-tasks is of value to developers whether working on open-source or other forms of software.},

This calls for the adoption of new approaches, which improve agility and reusability. Model Drive Development (MDD), as specified by OMG, can drastically tackle these issues and has, therefore, attracted the interest of the telecommunications industry. Equally important is the Open Source paradigm. For MDD to gain wide industrial adoption, tools should be available to facilitate the OSS development process. In this paper, we specify requirements MDD tools should meet for effective application of the approach. An extensive survey is then carried out to evaluate existing meta-modelling frameworks over the identified tools requirements. Eventually, we present the Integrated Eclipse Model driven Environment (IEME), which comprises a unified environment of bundled Eclipse-based MDD facilities that also supports the automatic generation of domain-specific tools.},

year = {2003},
publisher = {Trinity College Dublin},
abstract = {Many studies have been done on secure operating system using secure kernel that has various access control policies for system security. Secure kernel can protect user or system data from unauthorized and/or illegal accesses by applying various access control policies like DAC, MAC, RBAC, and so on. But, even if secure operating system is running under various access control policies, network traffic among these secure operating systems can be captured and exposed easily by network monitoring tools like packet sniffer if there is no protection policy for network traffic among secure operating systems. For this reason, protection for data within network traffic is as important as protection for data within local system. In this paper, we propose a secure operating system trusted channel, SOSTC, as a prototype of a simple secure network protocol that can protect network traffic among secure operating systems and can transfer security information of the subject. It is significant that SOSTC can be used to extend a security range of secure operating system to the network environment.},

To assess this issue, this paper describes a real-time root cause analysis mechanism, which can pinpoint an accurate root cause and identify the influence on services. We investigated an interworking mechanism; based on a web service interface between an inventory and fault management systems and developed prototypes of them as part of an operation support system (OSS), which is capable of managing not only a core network and a metro ring network, but also a customer network. By introducing a hierarchical circuit model in the inventory management system and the proposed scanning algorithm over multiple layers and domains implemented in the fault management system, our developed root cause analysis was successfully verified using the testbed network environment; indicating relatively fast and scalable operation.},

abstract = {This paper describes a family of new Ong-Schnorr-Shamir-Fiat-Shamir-like [1] identification and signature protocols designed to prevent forgers from using the Pollard-Schnorr attack [2].Our first signature scheme (and its associated identification protocol) uses x, which is secret-free, as a commitment on which k will depend later. Therefore, the original quadratic equation is replaced by x 2 - k(x)y 2 m mod n where k(x) is a non-polynomial function of x and since the Poliard-Schnorr algorithm takes as input value k (to output x and y), it becomes impossible to feed -priori k(x) which is output-dependent.The second signature method takes advantage of the fact that although an attacker can generate valid OSS signatures (solutions {x,y} of x 2 - ky 2 m mod n), he has no control over the internal structure of x and y and in particular, if we restrict the solution space by adding extra conditions on x and y, it becomes very difficult to produce forged solutions that satisfy the new requirements.},

Abstract = {Open source software communities have demonstrated that they can produce
high quality results. The overall success of peer code review, commonly
used in open source projects, has likely contributed strongly to this
success. Code review is an emotionally loaded practice, with public
exposure of reputation and ample opportunities for conflict. We set off
to ask why code review works for open source communities, despite this
inherent challenge. We interviewed 21 open source contributors from four
communities and participated in meetings of ROS community devoted to
implementation of the code review process.
It appears that the hacker ethic is a key reason behind the success of
code review in FOSS communities. It is built around the ethic of passion
and the ethic of caring. Furthermore, we observed that tasks of code
review are performed with strong intrinsic motivation, supported by many
non-material extrinsic motivation mechanisms, such as desire to learn,
to grow reputation, or to improve one's positioning on the job market.
In the paper, we describe the study design, analyze the collected data
and formulate 20 proposals for how what we know about hacker ethics and
human and social aspects of code review, could be exploited to improve
the effectiveness of the practice in software projects.},

Abstract = {In the process of developing software, code review is crucial. By
identifying problems before they arise in production, it enhances the
quality of the code. Finding the best reviewer for a code change,
however, is extremely challenging especially in large scale, especially
open source software stacks with cross functioning designs and
collaborations among multiple developers and teams. Additionally, a
review by someone who lacks knowledge and understanding of the code can
result in high resource consumption and technical errors. The reviewers
who have the specialty in both functioning (domain knowledge) and
non-functioning areas of a commit are considered as the most qualified
reviewer to look over any changes to the code. Quality attributes serve
as the connection among the user requirements, delivered function
description, software architecture and implementation through put the
entire software stack cycle. In this study, we target on auto reviewer
assignment in large scale software stacks and aim to build a
self-learning, and self-correct platform for intelligently matching
between a commit based on its quality attributes and the skills sets of
reviewers. To achieve this, quality attributes are classified and
abstracted from the commit messages and based on which, the commits are
assigned to the reviewers with the capability in reviewing the target
commits. We first designed machine learning schemes for abstracting
quality attributes based on historical data from the OpenStack
repository. Two models are built and trained for automating the
classification of the commits based on their quality attributes using
the manual labeling of commits and multi-class classifiers. We then
positioned the reviewers based on their historical data and the quality
attributes characteristics. Finally we selected the recommended reviewer
based on the distance between a commit and candidate reviewers. In this
paper, we demonstrate how the models can choose the best quality
attributes and assign the code review to the most qualified reviewers.
With a comparatively small training dataset, the models are able to
achieve F-1 scores of 77\% and 85.31\%, respectively.},

increases the number of monthly merged pull requests, decreases monthly
non-merged pull requests, and decreases communication among developers.

study how project maintainers experience code review bots. We surveyed
127 maintainers and asked about their expectations and perception of
changes incurred by code review bots. Our findings reveal that the most
frequent expectations include enhancing the feedback bots provide to
developers, reducing the maintenance burden for developers, and
enforcing code coverage. While maintainers report that bots satisfied
their expectations, they also perceived unexpected effects, such as
communication noise and newcomers' dropout. Based on these results, we
provide a series of implications for bot developers, as well as insights
for future research.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) has become a strategic asset for a number of
reasons, such as its short timeto-market software service and product
delivery, reduced development and maintenance costs, introduction of
innovative features and its customization capabilities. By 2016 an
estimated 95\% of all commercial software packages will include OSS
components. This pervasive adoption is not without risks for an industry
that has experienced significant failures in product quality, timelines
and delivery costs. Exhaustive testing of any software system and,
specifically, of open source software components is usually not feasible
due to limitations in time and resources. In risk-based testing approach
test cases are selected and scheduled based on software risk analysis.
This research introduces the strategy of risk-based adaptive testing of
OSS by combining information on the OSS community ecosystem with
risk-driven tests selection and scheduling strategy. A key feature of
the proposed approach is the monitoring and analysis of OSS community
dynamics, including chats and email communications, blogs, repositories

monitored to detect anomaly communication between the community members.
Our approach is demonstrated in the XWiki OSS, a Java-based environment
that allows for the storing of structured data and the execution of
server side scripts within the wiki interface. We illustrate our
concepts, methods and approach behind risk based testing.},

Abstract = {Application system is an important component to support business
organizations. Information, communication and information technology
have made developing business becomes very competitive. It is very
crucial for companies to have fast and accurate access to
mission-critical business information in order to maintain its
competitiveness. The ability to establish network connections between
the existing systems becomes a must in order to optimize the use of
critical information. To realize this, the implementation of system
integration looks promising. However, system integration process is not
an easy task because it involves variety of systems with different
organizations backgrounds. The main objective of this paper is to
propose an integration model that is generic and easily adapted by many
organizations. The Information Management Division, Public Sector
Department in Malaysia is chosen as a case study. The systems used in
this department will be analyzed and problems faced will be identified.
Research methodology conducted includes the Analysis Phase, Design
Phase, Development Phase and Testing Phase. In order to support the
proposed model, prototype called myIntegration is implemented based on
OpenSyncro. OpenSyncro is an open source software (OSS) meant for
Enterprise Application Integration (EAI). The Testing Phase was carried
out by taking into account the actual test scenario involving the
Department A (owner of the Malaysian Personal Record) and Department B
(Human Resources Manager of Malaysian Civil Servants). Tests conducted
have shown that the exchange of information between the Department A and
B have been successfully realized. The finding from this research, where
a new integration model has been created, can be referred by any
government or private organizations in developing their systems
integration facilities. The model also besides reducing the requirement
of hardware; also reduces the dependency to proprietary products. In
addition, the prototype developed, which based on OpenSyncro is capable
in providing an alternative solution to the IT community to anchor any
systems integration project at a lower cost and in a user friendly
environment.},

Abstract = {Modularity has been seen as key to the success of OSS projects. However
empirical studies on modularity of OSS systems have resulted in
confusing results. To account for underlying mechanisms of those
confusing results, we systematically examine widely studied OSS
projects. Based on our systematic review on technical and organizational
structures, we suggest that organizational circumstances of OSS
production are at least in a continuum of tightly-coupled and loosely-
coupled organizational circumstances of production in which both
geographically distributed volunteers and paid developers with
organizational ties work together (albeit separately over time).
Furthermore, organizational circumstances of OSS production appear to be
dynamic, as firms move in and out of OSS production communities over
time. In essence we argue that the reason for the confusing empirical
results was a persistent assumption that organizational circumstances of
OSS production are static or unitary; rather what matters is the
organizational circumstances of production in any episode of
contribution. This research agenda paper proposes future inquiries to
develop a comprehensive picture of ecological shift in different levels
of system modularity and organizational circumstances of OSS production
over time and through episodes.},

Abstract = {Background: As the area of computing has thrived over the years, the
participation of women in computing declined. Currently women represent
less than 24\% of the computing workforce and that number is declining.
On the other hand, the ratios of women in Open Source Software (OSS)
projects are even lower.
Aims: The primary objective of this study is to determine the level of
gender diversity among popular OSS projects and identify the presence of
gender biases that may discourage females' participation.
Method: On this goal, we mined the code review repositories of ten
popular OSS projects. We used a semi-automated approach followed by a
manual validation to identify the genders of the active contributors.
Results: Our results suggest that lack of gender diversity remains an
ongoing issue among all the ten projects as each of the projects had
less than 10\% female developers. However, many of the projects also
suffer from lack of inclusion of females to leadership positions.
Although none of the projects suggest significant differences between
male and female developers in terms of productivity based on three
different measures, data from three out of the ten projects indicate
technical biases against female developers with lower code acceptance
rates as well as delayed feedback during code reviews. However, biases
against females are not universal as majority of the projects do not
discriminate against females. The two projects with the least ratios of
female contributors as core developers showed the most biases against
females.
Conclusion: Based on our findings, we conclude that promoting and
mentoring females to leadership positions may be an effective solution
to foster gender diversity.},

Abstract = {Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) has become a strategic asset in
software development, and open source communities behind FLOSS are a key
player in the field. The analysis of open source community dynamics is a
key capability in risk management practices focused on the integration
of FLOSS in all types of organizations. We are conducting research in
developing methodologies for managing risks of FLOSS adoption and
deployment in various application domains. This paper is about the
ability to systematically capture, filter, analyze, reason about, and
build theories upon, the behavior of an open source community in
combination with the structured elicitation of expert opinions on
potential organizational business risk. The novel methodology presented
here blends together qualitative and quantitative information as part of
a wider analytics platform. The approach combines big data analytics
with automatic scripting of scenarios that permits experts to assess
risk indicators and business risks in focused tactical and strategic
workshops. These workshops generate data that is used to construct
Bayesian networks that map data from community risk drivers into
statistical distributions that are feeding the platform risk management
dashboard. A special feature of this model is that the dynamics of an
open source community are tracked using social network metrics that
capture the structure of unstructured chat data. The method is
illustrated with a running example based on experience gained in
implementing our approach in an academic smart environment setting
including Moodbile, a Mobile Learning for Moodle (www.moodbile.org).
This example is the first in a series of planned experiences in the
domain of smart environments with the ultimate goal of deriving a
complete risk model in that field.},

Abstract = {To ensure the quality of software systems, software engineers can make
use of a variety of quality assurance approaches, for example, software
testing, modern code review, automated static analysis, and build
automation. Each of these quality assurance practices have been studied
in depth in isolation, but there is a clear knowledge gap when it comes
to our understanding of how these approaches are being used in
conjunction, or not. In our study, we broadly investigate whether and
how these quality assurance approaches are being used in conjunction in
the development of 1454 popular open source software projects on GitHub.
Our study indicates that typically projects do not follow all quality
assurance practices together with high intensity. In fact, we only
observe weak correlation among some quality assurance practices. In
general, our study provides a deeper understanding of how existing
quality assurance approaches are currently being used in Java-based open
source software development. Besides, we specifically zoom in on the
more mature projects in our dataset, and generally we observe that more
mature projects are more intense in their application of the quality
assurance practices, with more focus on their ASAT usage, and code
reviewing, but no strong change in their CI usage.},

Journal = {COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS},
Year = {2021},

Pages = {194-244},
Abstract = {Despite the fact that OSS contributors tend to eschew traditional
organizational hierarchies, researchers have found that, in many cases,
OSS contributors make tightly coupled system designs and successfully
coordinate highly interdependent tasks. Although researchers have
explained how OSS contributors make tightly coupled code contributions,
we do not know the characteristics of individuals who make such
contributions. While previous studies have considered OSS projects as
single, independent containers, I note that OSS projects do not
constitute independent or standalone entities but reuse and, thus,
depend one another. This reuse creates complex networks of
interdependencies called ``software ecosystems{''}. In this paper, I
analyze OSS contributors who have made tightly coupled code
contributions using two lenses: the core-periphery lens and the
habitual-episodic lens. Based on investigating three volunteer-driven
OSS projects, I found OSS contributors who make tightly coupled code
contributions to have different code-contribution patterns.
Interestingly, I found that half of such contributors made no previous
code contributions to the sampled projects but episodically authored
patches (or pull requests) that increased software coupling. Based on
further investigation, I suggest a multiple-fluid-container view that
accommodates software ecosystems in which multiple containers (multiple
OSS projects) co-evolve with each container (each OSS project) readily
accessible.},

Pages = {65913-65933},
Abstract = {The increase in the number of open source software (OSS) users have
drawn attention to improving usability. Usability is a clear concept
that encompassing both task and user characteristics as well as
functionality. Usability is an essential factor that affects user
acceptance and OSS sustainability, which is considered as the key to the
success of the OSS. To some extent, usability is one concern of the
larger issue of system acceptability and sustainability. Therefore,
usability is an important factor that needs to be considered since the
software that is not usable is not going to be sustainable. The
objective of this paper is to review researchers' efforts to improve,
investigate, and evaluate the usability factor that may affect the OSS
acceptability and sustainability and map the research scenery from the
articles into a comprehensible structured taxonomy, which would help the
researchers to identify different research gaps of this field. A survey
of the usability in OSS conducted and 6033 studies identified by a
search in four scholarly databases using a query that includes the
keywords (usability or learnability or efficiency or satisfaction) and
(open source software or OSS). A total of 46 studies are selected. By
manually searching in ACM, Springer, and Google Scholar five other
studies identified, and thus a total of 51 studies were the final set
that includes in this paper. Based on research topics, a taxonomy
created and divided into four principal categories which improve OSS
usability, analyze OSS usability, evaluate OSS usability, and select and
adopt OSS. A comprehensive overview and synthesis of these categories
are presented as well. This paper contributes to identifying the
possible opportunities and gaps for enabling the participation of
interested researchers in this research area. And give possibilities for
extending the use of usability research and practices to create more
sustainable software. Also, helps in selecting suitable OSS among the
alternatives.},

businesses.
The results depict a growing trend in the use of OSS in South Africa.
Only a small percentage of SA organisations have significant usage
levels of OSS, with the majority of OSS users planning on maintaining
their current levels of usage. It was observed that 67\% of non-OSS
users are considering OSS use in the future, with the majority of these
respondents having made preliminary investigations into the viability of
OSS use.
Further results show an association between the size of an organisation
and the usage of OSS, with smaller and medium sized enterprises using
OSS more than larger organisations. It was also observed that the
majority of training institutes perceive that there will be a growth in
demand for OSS training within the next 5 years, which correlates with
findings that the number of training workshops and institutes are
increasing to accommodate the increase in demand.},

being relatively secure than proprietary software, low cost,
participative, scalable and easy to manage. The article concludes with
the evaluation of the current level of FOSS use in Turkish government
agencies, an explanation of the process of adoption by presenting a
process model of FOSS adoption in Turkey that may be applied in other

Abstract = {This paper presents results from a study examining perceptions and
practices of usability in the free/open source software (FOSS)
community. 27 individuals associated with 11 different FOSS projects
were interviewed to understand how they think about, act on, and are
motivated to address usability issues. Our results indicate that FOSS
project members possess rather sophisticated notions of software
usability, which collectively mirror definitions commonly found in HCI
textbooks. Our study also uncovered a wide range of practices that
ultimately work to improve software usability. Importantly, these
activities are typically based on close, direct interpersonal
relationships between developers and their core users, a group of users
who closely follow the project and provide high quality, respected
feedback. These relationships, along with positive feedback from other

Abstract = {Software quality evaluation has always been an important part of
software business. The quality evaluation process is usually based on
hierarchical quality models that measure various aspects of software
quality and deduce a characterization of the product quality being
evaluated. The particular nature of open source software has rendered
existing models inappropriate for detailed quality evaluations. In this
paper, we present a hierarchical quality model that evaluates source
code and community processes, based on automatic calculation of metric
values and their correlation to a set of predefined quality profiles.},

Abstract = {The open-source software (OSS) movement is often analogized as a
commons, where products are developed by and consumed in an open
community. However, does a larger commons automatically beget success or
does the phenomenon fall prey to the tragedy of the commons? This
research forwards and empirically investigates the curvilinear
relationship between developers and OSS project quality and a project's
download volume. Using segmented regression on over 12,000 SourceForge
OSS projects, findings suggest an inflection point in the number of
contributing developers on download volume - suggesting increasing and
diminishing returns to scale from adding developers to OSS projects.
Findings support the economic principle of the tragedy of the commons, a
concept where an over-allocated (large number) of developers, even in an
open-source environment, can lead to resource mismanagement and reduce
the benefit of a public good, i.e. the OSS project.},

Abstract = {The need to establish a more complete and far-reaching Europe,
strengthening its intellectual, cultural, social, scientific and
technological dimensions was emphasized in the Bologna Declaration,
signed by the European Ministers of Education in 1999. Since then,
European universities have been involved in the development of the
so-called European Higher Education Area (EHEA), including the adoption
of a system of easily readable and comparable degrees, the European
co-operation in quality assurance, and the promotion of mobility and
European dimension in higher education.
In this framework, the use of Free Open Source Software (FOSS) could
provide several advantages, related to both the freedom given to users
and the strengths of its peer-to-peer development model. In fact, some
of the most outstanding characteristics of the FOSS (free, democratic,
sustainable and technologically competitive educational model,
cooperative and competitive relationships,.) result to be coincident
with the main aims of the European Higher Education Area.
In this paper we describe the role that this Free Open Source Software
could play in the University context, also providing some statistical
evidence about FOSS penetration and its recent evolution. Furthermore,
since the implementation of the new university degrees can be considered
as a ``break point{''}, we briefly describe our FOSS experiences at the
University of Oviedo, involving Statistics and Econometrics.
Finally, we summarize the conclusions and describe the main challenges
that FOSS must face during the coming years.},

Title = {A dynamic perspective on software modularity in open source software
(OSS) development: A configurational approach},
Journal = {INFORMATION AND ORGANIZATION},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {34},
Number = {1},
Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {To reduce technical and task interdependencies, modularization has been
considered important in OSS development. However, the existing
literature implicitly takes a static view that software structure and
organizational structure are established early on and change slowly over
time, if at all. Such a view does not fully reflect the complex and
dynamic nature of software development and tends to overlook the role
played by human agents as they ramp involvement up and down over time.
This study considers that coordination practice plays an important role
in altering technical interdependencies in OSS development. This study
investigates coordination practices that result in changes in software
coupling-in particular, increases in software coupling. This study
automatically analyzes the code in 72 software releases and 1033 task
episodes of three successful OSS projects-GNU grep, IPython, and
Scikit-image. This study takes a fine-grained practice-oriented
perspective that views the way that the work is done as constituting the
organization. In our conceptualization, OSS contributors use a
configuration of multiple organizational elements, enacted and varying
across specific episodes of practice. In line with this perspective,
this study takes a configurational approach, uses fuzzy-set qualitative
comparative analysis (fsQCA) to analyze episodes that led to decreases,
no changes, and increases in software coupling during the inter-release
periods in which the level of software coupling increased significantly,
which we call focal period. We find that co-work involving multiple
individuals tends to result in code that adds technical dependencies
(increases in software coupling) during the focal period. To illustrate
this beyond our fuzzy-set analysis, we present and discuss three
episodes in narrative detail. The fine-grained, configurational analysis
in this study supports the idea that the organizing process is ongoing
enactment. In this study, OSS systems are an amalgam of code that builds
up in different episodes each possibly different organizational
configurations, rather than thinking of the OSS systems or projects as
static or singular.},

Abstract = {The value of teamwork is being recognized by project owners, resulting
in an increased acknowledgement of collaboration among developers in
software engineering. A good understanding of how developers work
together could positively impact software development practices. In this
paper, we investigate the collaboration habits of developers in project
files by leveraging the World of Code (WoC) dataset and GitHub API. We
first identify the collaboration level of developers within the project
files, such as the source, test, documentation, and build files, using
the Author Cross Entropy (ACE). From the results we find out that test
files report the highest degree of collaboration among the developers,
perhaps because collaboration is critical to ensure convergence of
functionality tests. Furthermore, the source code files show the least
degree of collaboration, perhaps because of code ownership and the
complexity and difficulty in code modification. Secondly, given the
widespread usage of the Python programming language, we investigate the
Python code tokens that are more prone to change and collaboration. Our
findings offer insights into the specific project files and Python code
tokens that developers typically collaborate on in the opensource
community. This information can be used by researchers and developers to
enhance existing collaboration platforms and tools.},

Abstract = {Collaboration through open superposition describes the dominant work
orchestration mechanism observed in free (Libre) and open-source (FLOSS)
software, wherein the software development occurs by the sequential
layering of individual tasks. This work orchestration mechanism is
different from the traditional idea of software development, where the
focus is toward cowork and concurrent development facilitated by a
modular software design architecture. Our study theorizes and examines
the motivational mechanisms that operate within superposed work
structures to influence the success of FLOSS projects. We also unearth
the contextual conditions that may limit the influence of the superposed
nature of work on FLOSS project success. Furthermore, given the
increasing use of FLOSS by organizations, we investigate the
specificities brought to these motivational mechanisms when FLOSS
projects are owned by organizations. The results from our analysis of
over 6,500 FLOSS projects hosted on GitHub support a nonlinear
relationship between the degree of superposition and the success of the
FLOSS project. Moreover, we find that the type of ownership moderates
this nonlinear relationship such that (1) organizational ownership
mitigates the influence of the degree of superposition on the success of
the project and that (2) under organizational ownership, the optimal
degree of superposition (the point at which the success of the project
is at a maximum) is lower than for individual-owned projects. This
research advances our understanding of work structures, motivation, and
organizational participation in FLOSS environments by describing the
influence of task structures on the success of projects. The study also
provides FLOSS practitioners with valuable insights for modeling project
task structures to facilitate their success.},

Abstract = {The goal of our research is to find better ways for assessing the impact

usage scenarios and simulation experiments are provided. With the help
of the simulation model, the process quality attributes of the open
source software Spring Framework with varying change effects was
evaluated. The project effort, delivery time, productivity, schedule,
and product quality are impacted as a result of changes. Three different
process improvement strategies were evaluated to help decision-makers
choose most cost-effective improvement strategies. The simulation models
can be used as an effective tool to evaluate the impact of changes,
reason about the process improvement, and support consensus building by
visualizing dynamic views of the process.},

Title = {Industry requirements for FLOSS governance tools to facilitate the use
of open source software in commercial products},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {158},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Virtually all software products incorporate free/fibre and open source
software (FLOSS) components. However, ungoverned use of FLOSS components
can result in legal and financial risks, and risks to a firm's
intellectual property. To avoid these risks, companies must govern their
FLOSS use through open source governance processes and by following
industry best practices. A particular challenge is license compliance.
To manage the complexity of governance and compliance, companies should
use tools and well-defined processes. This paper investigates and
presents industry requirements for FLOSS governance tools, followed by
an evaluation of the suggested requirements.
We chose eleven companies with an advanced understanding of open source
governance and interviewed their FLOSS governance experts to derive a
theory of industry requirements for tooling. We extended our previous
work adding the requirement category on the architecture model for
software products.
We then analyzed the features of leading governance tools and used this
analysis to evaluate two categories of our theory: FLOSS license
scanning and FLOSS components in product bills of materials. The result
is a list of FLOSS governance requirements. For practical relevance, we
cast our theory as a requirements specification for FLOSS governance
tools. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.},

serve specific needs on an application level, or on the source code
level, as a part of another software system serving as a component, a

OSS quality models that provide metrics to measure specific aspects of
the project, like its structural quality. Although other dimensions,
like community health and activity, software governance principles or
license permissiveness, are taken into account, there is no universally
accepted OSS assessment model. In this work we are proposing an
evaluation approach based on the adaptation of the City Resilience

Abstract = {The use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), a subset of Information
and Communication Technology (ICT), can reduce the cost of purchasing
software. Despite the benefit in the initial purchase price of software,
deploying software requires total cost that goes beyond the initial
purchase price. Total cost is a silent issue of FOSS and can only be
evaluated in the particular environment in which it is adopted, in this
case Kerala, India, fora state-level FOSS project called IT@School. This
project is one of the largest deployments of free open source software
FOSS-based ICT education in the world and impacts 6 million students and
200,000 teachers every year. This study analyzes the perception of 43
senior FOSS implementation project officials. It details how FOSS was
introduced and reports on major challenges and how those challenges were
overcome in a secondary educational setting in India. Email interviews,
document analysis, and online case studies were used to collect the
data. The lack of adequate resources to train the teachers was the
single biggest challenge in the adoption of FOSS. The emerging
strategies for efficient FOSS implementation could be used in other
states in India and in other developing countries.},

Abstract = {Globally, the acceptance of Open Source Software (OSS) varies among the
users of a company. Despite the substantive software, social, and
infrastructure-related implications of OSS acceptance, the research on
the acceptance of OSS across organizations inhabitants remains
surprisingly limited. To propose a model for the acceptance of OSS;
investigate the influence of the OSS characteristics, UTAUT constructs,
and infrastructure factors on the acceptance of open source software
system. It also examines the validity of UTAUT in the open source
software context. Quantitative design has been used following the
distribution of questionnaire among a sample of 255 individuals employed
at public and private organizations (172 males and 83 females). Software
quality, software interoperability, and software security had a
significant impact on the performance expectancy (PE) (beta = 0.445, P <
0.001), (beta = 0.302, P < 0.001), (beta = 0.139, P < 0.05),
respectively. Moreover, PE, cost, facilitating conditions, social
influence SI and self-efficacy had a notable impact on the behavioral
intention (beta = 0.275, P < 0.05), (beta = 0.229, P < 0.01), (beta =

respectively. A new path appears to exist between EE (effort expectancy)
and PE (beta = 0.215, P < 0.01). The outcomes indicated that users
perceive that OSS user-friendliness must be upgraded for optimizing its
benefits. It showed that performance expectancy, effort expectancy,
social influence, self-efficacy, software security, software quality,
software interoperability, and software cost are important indicators in
the acceptance and implementation of OSS. Further research can be
conducted in organizations to observe the implementation of OSS and its

Abstract = {Since free/libre open source software (FLOSS) promotes collaboration and
contributions from different parties in software production and
innovation processes, it can create a unique opportunity for developing
countries, by generating an innovative capability in software
technology. To benefit from this opportunity, it is important to
understand the strategic factors and future trends that affect the
development of an efficient FLOSS economy in developing countries.
This paper aims to examine the strategic factors and future trends that
are likely to affect the development and deployment of FLOSS in Turkey.
Based on the internal and external factors identified through the
practice of technological foresight, a SWOT analysis will be carried out
to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for
Turkey in creating a competitive software industry that can benefit from
the advantages of FLOSS. Accordingly, with regard to the required
technical infrastructure, an innovative/competitive business climate,
skilled human resources and support for institutional structures, policy
suggestions are outlined here that could be usefully implemented by
government, industry and universities. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

Abstract = {Toxic and unhealthy conversations during the developer's communication
may reduce the professional harmony and productivity of Free and Open

may raise pushback from an author to complete suggested changes. A toxic
communication with another person may hamper future communication and
collaboration. Research also suggests that toxicity disproportionately
impacts newcomers, women, and other participants from marginalized
groups. Therefore, toxicity is a barrier to promote diversity, equity,
and inclusion. Since the occurrence of toxic communications is not
uncommon among FOSS communities and such communications may have serious
repercussions, the primary objective of my proposed dissertation is to
automatically identify and mitigate toxicity during developers' textual
interactions. On this goal, I aim to: i) build an automated toxicity
detector for Software Engineering (SE) domain, ii) identify the notion
of toxicity across demographics, and iii) analyze the impacts of
toxicity on the outcomes of Open Source Software (OSS) projects.},

Abstract = {In today's global knowledge-based economy, knowledge, its creation,
accumulation and distribution, through institutions of human,
organizational and social capital, plays an increasingly crucial role as
the key factor in innovation and economic development. The production,
distribution and processing of knowledge (especially scientific and
technological) is increasingly performed within the domain of
computational information and communication technologies (ICTs). Even
though there is an asymmetric distribution of ICT resources,
particularly between developed and developing countries the emergence of
Free Open Source Software (FOSS) is a means to bridge the `digital
divide'. This paper examines the use of FOSS for mapping and measuring
the National System of Innovation (NSI) in Ghana and generating evidence
based policy. Findings indicate the value of FOSS in mapping and
measuring for evidence based policy and the crucial role of ICT in the
NSI.},

Volume = {32},
Number = {2},

Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {An open source software (OSS) ecosystem refers to an OSS development
community composed of many software projects and developers contributing
to these projects. The projects and developers co-evolve in an
ecosystem. To keep healthy evolution of such OSS ecosystems, there is a
need of attracting and retaining developers, particularly project
leaders and core developers who have major impact on the project and the
whole team. Therefore, it is important to figure out the factors that
influence developers' chance to evolve into project leaders and core
developers. To identify such factors, we conducted a case study on the
GNOME ecosystem. First, we collected indicators reflecting developers'
subjective willingness to contribute to the project and the project
environment that they stay in. Second, we calculated such indicators
based on the GNOME dataset. Then, we fitted logistic regression models
by taking as independent variables the resulting indicators after
eliminating the most collinear ones, and taking as a dependent variable
the future developer role (the core developer or project leader). The
results showed that part of such indicators (e.g., the total number of
projects that a developer joined) of subjective willingness and project
environment significantly influenced the developers' chance to evolve
into core developers and project leaders. With different validation
methods, our obtained model performs well on predicting developmental
core developers, resulting in stable prediction performance (0.770,
F-value).},

Abstract = {Purpose Free and open-source software (FOSS) has been used worldwide
because of the advantages of user control, cost-saving, flexibility,
openness, freedom, more security and better stability. The purpose of
this study is to explore the status quo of educational application of
FOSS and the trends from international perspectives and its implications
for higher education in Hong Kong. Design/methodology/approach The
method of cluster analysis was used in this study. The Web of Science
database was used as the data source and all relevant literature for the
year 2010-2020 on the theme of ``FOSS{''} was collected for analysis.
The information visualization software CiteSpace was used for citation
visualization analysis, revealing the research results of FOSS
worldwide, including hot spots and development trends. Findings This
paper found that FOSS has become an important research area and is
playing an important role in the reform and development of education.
Meanwhile, the development and application of FOSS have regional
imbalances and strong differentiation, including the educational sector.
The paper also found that although FOSS has entered the stage of
interdisciplinary development, the research and development of FOSS in
the field of education is insufficient, which poses a huge challenge to
decision-makers, teachers and students. Originality/value Implications
for higher education in Hong Kong including: attach importance to and
vigorously promote FOSS research and practice to benefit more teachers
and students; teachers and students need to be trained for acquiring the
awareness and skills of FOSS applications and formulate different
strategies; the government should provide greater support to formulate
and implement a short and middle-term development plan to facilitate the
application of FOSS; and Hong Kong higher education institutions may
strengthen exchanges and cooperation with counterparts around the world
to jointly promote the development of FOSS. It is hoped that the
findings will provide a reference for the study and application of FOSS
in higher education in Hong Kong.},

Title = {Open source software ecosystems: A Systematic mapping},
Journal = {INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {91},
Pages = {160-185},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {Context: Open source software (OSS) and software ecosystems (SECOs) are
two consolidated research areas in software engineering. OSS influences
the way organizations develop, acquire, use and commercialize software.
SECOs have emerged as a paradigm to understand dynamics and
heterogeneity in collaborative software development. For this reason,
SECOs appear as a valid instrument to analyze OSS systems. However,
there are few studies that blend both topics together.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current state of
the art in OSS ecosystems (OS-SECOs) research, specifically: (a) what
the most relevant definitions related to OSSECOs are; (b) what the
particularities of this type of SECO are; and (c) how the knowledge
about OSSECO is represented.
Method: We conducted a systematic mapping following recommended
practices. We applied automatic and manual searches on different sources
and used a rigorous method to elicit the keywords from the research
questions and selection criteria to retrieve the final papers. As a
result, 82 papers were selected and evaluated. Threats to validity were
identified and mitigated whenever possible.
Results: The analysis allowed us to answer the research questions. Most
notably, we did the following: (a) identified 64 terms related to the
OSSECO and arranged them into a taxonomy; (b) built a genealogical tree
to understand the genesis of the OSSECO term from related definitions;
(c) analyzed the available definitions of SECO in the context of OSS;
and (d) classified the existing modelling and analysis techniques of
OSSECOs.
Conclusion: As a summary of the systematic mapping, we conclude that
existing research on several topics related to OSSECOs is still scarce
(e.g., modelling and analysis techniques, quality models, standard
definitions, etc.). This situation calls for further investigation
efforts on how organizations and OSS communities actually understand
OSSECOs. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

Volume = {27},
Number = {2},
Pages = {116-135},
Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {Governance provides the authoritative framework for coordinating
activities in open source development. Prior studies of open source
governance have largely focused on its changing nature over time. In
this work, we argue that the nature of governance varies across open
source communities, and, in its evolution, multiple traces of authority
may co-exist. We propose that such multiplicity can be understood by
close examination of the authoritative structures embedded in
coordination processes. We collected eight years of data on the
coordination related to version control of the Linux kernel. Drawing on
in-depth qualitative analysis, we investigate how coordination processes
with different authoritative structures come together in the governance
of open source software. We trace four coordination processes
(autocratic clearing, oligarchic recursion, federated self-governance,
and meritocratic idea-testing), each grounded in different authoritative
structures (autocracy, oligarchy, federation, meritocracy) with their
own form of legitimation. We offer a two-fold contribution in this
paper. First, we enhance the open source governance literature by
advancing a new theoretical perspective in which governance is seen as a
configuration of coordination processes. Configurations give
complementary support and are a source of tension and renewal. Second,
we articulate a view on the conceptual relationship between governance
and coordination where these concepts are understood as a duality, both
working together to give rise to efficient and dynamic organizing in
open source.},

when the subject matter is non-trivial and requires a significant effort

competitive games. Students naturally develop their interest in the
materials and are immersed into learning as they compete with each other
or against themselves in the game. To be effective, the game itself
should be fun and engaging as well as accommodating the intended
learning objectives. Although many people are aware of how effective GBL
can be, it is overwhelming for a beginner to master the tools and
techniques quickly to have GBL implemented in a classroom environment.
We recognize this lack of guidance in the existing GBL literature and

little rigorous research has been done on how traditional organizations
can implement and benefit from OSS practices. This research explores how
organizations can foster an environment similar to OSS to manage their

ecosystems have been the subject of study for many decades, research on
software ecosystems is more recent. For this reason, the ECOS research
project aims to determine whether and how selected ecological models and
theories from natural ecosystems can be adapted and adopted to
understand and better explain how OSS projects (akin to biological
species) evolve, and to determine what are the main factors that drive
the success or popularity of these projects. Expressed in biological
terms, we wish to use knowledge on the evolution of natural ecosystems
to provide support aiming to optimize the fitness of OSS projects, and
to increase the resistance and resilience of OSS ecosystems.},

Abstract = {Digital social innovation is important for addressing various social
needs, especially from those who are economically disadvantaged. For
instance, open source software (OSS) is developed by mass collaboration
on digital communities to provide software users free alternatives to
commercial products. OSS is particularly valuable to meet the needs of
numerous disadvantaged users for whom proprietary software is not
affordable. While OSS projects are lack of formal organizational
structure, project leaders play a significant role in initiating and
managing these projects and eventually, influencing the degree to which
the developed software is used and liked by users. Drawing on resource
dependence theory, we investigate the impacts of two team-level
characteristics of OSS project leaders (ie, size and tenure) on how well
the developed software can address users' needs, with regard to the
quantity of software being used by users and the quality of software to
users' satisfaction. Further, from a resource dependence perspective, we
examine the moderating role of project leaders' network ties in shaping
the contingency of these effects. By using a large-scale dataset from 43
048 OSS development projects in SourceForge community, we find empirical
evidence corroborating our theory. Taken together, our findings suggest
the boundary-spanning role of project leaders in developing digital
social innovation.},

Title = {Comprehensive assessment of open source software ecosystem health},
Journal = {INTERNET OF THINGS},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {22},
Month = {JUL},
Abstract = {Recent surveys expose that the use of Open Source Software (OSS) is
increasingly becoming a need for organizations in their development
projects. However, deciding a proper OSS to be adopted or to contribute
to its development is a complex and error-prone task. Analyzing the OSS
ecosystem (OSSECO) health may help providing information about: (1) the
OSS itself (number of commits, days after the last release, etc.); and
(2) their main actors (number of contributors, partners, etc.). There
exist proposals that go further and provide aggregated high-level
indicators (e.g. visibility as an aggregation of number of community
events, number of partners, and other metrics). Nevertheless, there is a
lack of useful OSSECO analysis tools to ease the decision making on
which OSSECO has the health required by a potential OSS adopter or
contributor. In this work, we provide OSS-CARE (OSSeCo heAlthy monitoR
and analysEr), an OSS-independent, fully automatic, and real-time
framework to assess OSSECO's health. OSS-CARE supports defining the
ecosystem health objectives of potential OSS adopters, OSS contributors,
and even OSS managers to inspect their provided health. These objectives
are defined based on a well-established model characterizing health
metrics that can be potentially aggregated by using a Bayesian network
technique. Moreover, the integrated monitoring and analysis components
perform an automated assessment of OSSECO's health by checking the
fulfillment of the required health objectives. Furthermore, the result
is shown in an appealing dashboard that may ease the complex decision
making of which OSS to choose.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) is probably, the most iconic implementation
of Open Innovation business paradigm, due its capacity to concentrate
both technical benefits and business advantages. Over time,
organizations face the OSS adoption challenge strengthening mainly its
internal and technical elements. However, the rapid changes on business
dynamics, and the comprehensiveness and fast development of open
paradigms, show us that a new set of conditions must be satisfied to
reach a successfully OSS adoption. These conditions, considered as a
critical success factors, involve a wide range of resources, capacities
and skills, both in internal and external scopes. Hence, although
adopter organizations should be better prepared to face the challenges
related to collaborative innovation, they do not have a systematic
approach to value its readiness level to face the adoption challenges.
In this context, the present research work proposes a model to assess
the organizational readiness, considering the adopter as part of a live
business ecosystem, where the relationships originated on co-development
with developers' communities, have mutual business impact at strategic,
tactic, and operative level.},

Abstract = {Even though the use of Open Source Software (OSS) might seem paradoxical
in Defense environments, this has been proven to be wrong. The use of
OSS does not harm security; on the contrary, it enhances it. Even with
some drawbacks, OSS is highly reliable and maintained by a huge software
community, thus decreasing implementation costs and increasing
reliability. Moreover, it allows military software engineers to move
away from proprietary applications and single-vendor contracts.
Furthermore, it decreases the cost of long-term development and
lifecycle management, besides avoiding vendor's lock in. Nevertheless,
deploying OSS deserves an appropriate organization of its life cycle and
maintenance, which has a relevant impact on the project's budget that
cannot be overseen. In this paper, we will describe some of the major
trends in OSS in Defense environments. The community for OSS has a
pivotal role, since it is the core development unit. With Agile and the
newest DevOps methodologies, government officials could leverage OSS
capabilities, decreasing the Design (or Technical) Debt. Software for
Defense purposes could perform better, increase the number of the
releases, enhance coordination through the different IT Departments (and
the community), and increase release automation, decreasing the
probability of errors.},

distributed intelligence of participants in Internet communities. This
model is efficient because of two related reasons: it avoids the

hazard of open source is that projects can `fork' into competing
versions. However, open-source communities consist of governance
structures that constitutionally minimize this danger. Because open
source works in a distributed environment, it presents an opportunity
for developing countries to participate in frontier innovation.},

Abstract = {Free/Open Source software is a kind of software whose source code is
available for comprehension, modification and re-distribution. This kind
of software has increased in popularity in recent years and becoming an
interesting topic for research. Most Free/Open Source software is
produced through the facilitation of Free/Open Source Hosting (FOSPHost)
sites and investigations into these sites may yield results that have
theoretical and practical significance. Open source software is becoming
the most interesting `new' phenomenon of the entire information
technology landscape, generating a level of interest similar to that of
the first moments of the Internet The study of the possibilities and
limits of open source software at the enterprise is the main concern.
The research work analyzes the history of the open source movement,
describes the open source community and collaboration model, analyzes
the open source development process, describes business models based on
open source software, analyzes possible cost savings and presents case
studies of popular open source projects. Recommendations are presented,
how companies and organizations might benefit from open source software
and in which cases it should be avoided, because the hidden costs will
not pay off the license costs savings. The impact of open source
technology is expected to be quite noticeable in the software industry,
and in society as a whole. It allows for novel development models, which
have already been demonstrated to be especially well suited to
efficiently take advantage of the work of developers spread across all
corners of the planet.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) forms an infrastructure on which numerous
(often critical) software applications are based. Substantial research
was done to investigate central projects such as Linux kernel but we
have only a limited understanding of how the periphery of the larger OSS
ecosystem is interconnected through technical dependencies, code
sharing, and knowledge flows. We aim to close this gap by a) creating a
nearly complete and rapidly updateable collection of version control
data for FLOSS projects; b) by cleaning, correcting, and augmenting the
data to measure several types of dependencies among code, developers,
and projects; c) by creating models that rely on the resulting supply
chains to investigate structural and dynamic properties of the entire
OSS. The current implementation is capable of being updated each month,
occupies over 300Tb of disk space with 1.5B commits and 12B git objects.
Highly accurate algorithms to correct identity data and extract
dependencies from the source code are used to characterize the current
structure of OSS and the way it has evolved. In particular, models of
technology spread demonstrate the implicit factors developers use when
choosing software components. We expect the resulting research platform
will both spur investigations on how the huge periphery in OSS both
sustains and is sustained by the central OSS projects and, as a result,
will increase resiliency and effectiveness of the OSS.},

projects has been recognized. Despite that a lot of relevant research
focusing on this topic, understanding the structures and dynamics of
communities around open-source software projects remains a tedious and
challenging task. As a result, an easily accessible and useful
application that enables project developers to gain awareness of the
status and development of the project communities is desirable. In this
paper, we present MyCommunity, a web-based online application system to
automatically extract communication-based community structures from
social coding platforms such as GitHub. Based on the detected community
structures, the system analyzes and visualizes the community evolution
history of a project with a set of semantic-rich events, and quantify
the strength of community evolution with respect to different events
with a series of indexes. Built-in support to quantitative analysis and
machine learning tasks based on the quantitative evolutionary events are
provided. We demonstrate the usefulness of the system by presenting its
ability in predicting project success or failure with the community
evolution features. The results suggest the system achieves a prediction
accuracy of 88.5\% with commonly available machine learning models.},

Abstract = {Lehman's well-known laws of software evolution have existed since the
early 1980's and although they have been nuanced, augmented and
discussed many times since then, software and software development
practices have changed dramatically since then, not least due to the
rise and popularity of open source software (OSS). OSS is written
collaboratively with the process and products publically observable,
whereas the original laws were derived based on a very different
context. The question then arises if Lehman's laws apply to modern day
OSS software. The GitHub repository is the most comprehensive source of
OSS projects and is used here to obtain data on how OSS projects have
evolved. This work uses one hundred open source projects hosted on
GitHub. Metrics are obtained via the provided API, using a purpose-built
workbench and several of Lehman's laws are evaluated using the data
available. Coupled with a critique of how judgements can be made from
the data available, the study has discovered that the evidence does not
support many of the laws. An important proviso with such an approach is
the limitation on what data can be extracted and/or inferred from the
GitHub API. Nonetheless, there is enough of a challenge made to the laws
to warrant further study and a need to revisit some of the laws in the
context of open source development.},

Abstract = {In this paper, we seek to advance the state-of-the-art in code evolution
analysis research and practice by statistically analyzing, interpreting,
and formally describing the evolution of code lexicon in Open Source
Software (OSS). The underlying hypothesis is that, similar to natural
language, code lexicon falls under the remit of evolutionary principles.
Therefore, adapting theories and statistical models of natural language
evolution to code is expected to provide unique insights into software
evolution. Our analysis in this paper is conducted using 2,000 OSS
systems sampled from a broad range of application domains. Our results
show that a) OSS projects exhibit a significant shift in their
linguistic identity over time, b) different syntactic structures of code
lexicon evolve differently, c) different factors of OSS development and
different maintenance activities impact code lexicon differently. These
insights lay out a preliminary foundation for modeling the linguistic
history of OSS projects. In the long run, this foundation will be
utilized to provide support for basic software maintenance and program
comprehension activities, and gain new theoretical insights into the
complex interplay between linguistic change and various system and human
aspects of OSS development.},

Abstract = {Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) have found use in the
governance of open source software (OSS) projects. However, the
governance of an OSS producing DAO should match the particularities of
OSS production while also overcoming the existing challenges of
decentralized governance. The existing decentralized governance
frameworks do not include all the governance activities of OSS projects.
Therefore, this study presents a governance framework for DAOs that
produce OSS. The framework is built upon a total of 34 articles on DAO
and OSS governance. The framework was evaluated in three leading DAOs
that produce OSS. The evaluation underscores the significance of the
framework and proves the potential of the systematic categorization of
governance mechanisms. Finally, we list emerging governance practices in
various governance domains in this developing field.},

Abstract = {Software systems must continually evolve to adapt to new functional
requirements or quality requirements to remain competitive in the
marketplace. However, different software systems follow different
strategies to evolve, affecting both the release plan and the quality of
these systems. In this paper, software evolution is considered as a
self-organization process and the difference between closed-source
software and open-source software is discussed in terms of
self-organization. In particular, an empirical study of the evolution of
Linux from version 2.4.0 to version 2.6.13 is reported. The study shows
how open-source software systems self-organize to adapt to functional

Abstract = {Local communities in Germany are under great pressure to modernize their
services: high depth rate, increasing expectations concerning the
quality of the services, socio-demographic change, environmental issues,
regional competition-to name only a few of the challenges. In a society
based on a federal structure and the principle of subsidiarity, it is
almost natural to demand a vivid community with active citizens. Today,
with the advent of social media and the new channels of communication,
the question is how to leverage the benefits of this concept for local
issues. More precise: How can the competence of the citizens be
activated to make conditions of living in the neighbourhoods more
attractive? In this paper, we discuss technical requirements for an open
government. The SAGA standard of the Federal German Government strongly
supports the notion of open-source software. With OpenSAGA, we introduce
a new, performant and SAGA-compliant framework for the implementation of
web applications for e-Government. Consequently, OpenSAGA is the
platform for an OpenGovernment Suite, an extended prototype for
affordable and interoperable open government solutions.},

Abstract = {The right to fork open source code is at the core of open source
licensing. All open source licenses grant the right to fork their code,
that is to start a new development effort using an existing code as its
base. Thus, code forking represents the single greatest tool available
for guaranteeing sustainability in open source software. In addition to
bolstering program sustainability, code forking directly affects the
governance of open source initiatives. Forking, and even the mere
possibility of forking code, affects the governance and sustainability
of open source initiatives on three distinct levels: software,
community, and ecosystem. On the software level, the right to fork makes
planned obsolescence, versioning, vendor lockin, end-of-support issues,
and similar initiatives all but impossible to implement. On the
community level, forking impacts both sustainability and governance
through the power it grants the community to safeguard against
unfavourable actions by corporations or project leaders. On the
business-ecosystem level forking can serve as a catalyst for innovation
while simultaneously promoting better quality software through natural
selection. Thus, forking helps keep open source initiatives relevant and
presents opportunities for the development and commercialization of
current and abandoned programs.},

Abstract = {Firms increasingly rely on open source software for solving business
problems and building mission-critical IT solutions. However, there are
numerous issues associated with OSS, including its influence on the
total cost of ownership (TCO) and supportability and upgradeability
risks. While savings from obtaining a free copy of the software can be
significant, software accounts for an average of 10\% of TCO, while the
majority of the costs are associated with project staffing. OSS requires
significant investment into staffing because it needs to be carefully
selected, customized, and installed. In addition, global communities may
gather and dissolve at their will, so guarantees of support, revision,
and bug fixes are minimal. Yet companies can gain competitive advantage
through an ability to customize software to address specific business
issues and exercising control over development, revision schedules, and
modifications. OSS is not a panacea from the rising software costs.
Instead, it is a serious initiative that has benefits, disadvantages,
and risks associated with it.},

Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {In recent years, open-source software (OSS) development has grown, with
many developers around the world working on different OSS projects. A
variety of open-source software ecosystems have emerged, for instance,
GitHub, StackOverflow, and SourceForge. One of the most typical
social-programming and code-hosting sites, GitHub, has amassed numerous
open-source-software projects and developers in the same virtual
collaboration platform. Since GitHub itself is a large open-source
community, it hosts a collection of software projects that are developed
together and coevolve. The great challenge here is how to identify the
relationship between these projects, i.e., project relevance.
Software-ecosystem identification is the basis of other studies in the
ecosystem. Therefore, how to extract useful information in GitHub and
identify software ecosystems is particularly important, and it is also a
research area in symmetry. In this paper, a Topic-based Project
Knowledge Metrics Framework (TPKMF) is proposed. By collecting the
multisource dataset of an open-source ecosystem, project-relevance
analysis of the open-source software is carried out on the basis of
software-ecosystem identification. Then, we used our Spectral Clustering
algorithm based on Core Project (CP-SC) to identify software-ecosystem
projects and further identify software ecosystems. We verified that most
software ecosystems usually contain a core software project, and most
other projects are associated with it. Furthermore, we analyzed the
characteristics of the ecosystem, and we also found that interactive
information has greater impact on project relevance. Finally, we
summarize the Topic-based Project Knowledge Metrics Framework.},

Title = {A Tertiary Study on Open-Source Software Research},
Journal = {IEEE ACCESS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {12},
Pages = {189952-189993},
Abstract = {Open-source software (OSS) development has become prominent in the
software industry over the last 20 years. OSS has transformed how
software is developed, distributed, and maintained. This increase in
popularity has led to extensive research in various domains of OSS, such
as evolution, adoption, community and development processes.With the
passage of time the volume of academic studies increased in the area of
OSS, including Systematic Literature Reviews (SLRs) and Systematic
Mapping Studies (SMS), which have provided valuable insights into
specific aspects of OSS. The OSS domain is vast, with many areas that
are still under explored. The fragmented nature of the existing studies
presents challenges for both researchers and practitioners in
identifying comprehensive research trends, gaps, future directions, and
the cohesive understanding of the broader trends within the field. The
secondary studies synthesize the literature to highlight findings and
gaps of an area. The fragmentation of OSS academic literature limits the
ability of researchers to identify unexplored or under-researched areas.
This also creates challenges for both practitioners and researchers, as
they lack awareness of the best practices, tools, technologies, and
methodologies in a OSS domain. This study is motivated by the need to
consolidate the extensive research conducted in the OSS domain,
providing a holistic view that can guide future investigations and
practical applications. The rationale for conducting this research lies
in the opportunity to aggregate and classify existing OSS research
areas, topics, and future directions through a systematic tertiary
study. By synthesizing the findings from secondary studies, this
research aims to offer a meta-level understanding of the OSS field,
uncovering overlooked areas and defining a research agenda. The
systematic approach, guided by the established protocol of Kitchenham,
ensures that the study is conducted rigorously, with a focus on
comprehensiveness and reliability. Ultimately, this research seeks to
contribute to the OSS community by highlighting key research areas that
require further exploration, thereby advancing the field and supporting
the continued growth and innovation within OSS development. A systematic
tertiary study is performed to cover all the systematic secondary
studies in the area of OSS. The guidelines of Kitchenham are used for
designing the protocol. The protocol details the research objectives,
scope, search strategy, data extraction, quality assessment and
synthesis. The protocol is detailed in section three for transparency.
We have identified seventy-four studies that consist of twenty-five SMS
and forty-nine SLR. The literature is mapped to a published taxonomy of
OSS by Aksulu and Wade, however, the future directions are thematically
analyzed. The results of mapping show that the highest number of studies
(forty-seven) are in the sub-category of ``OSS categorization/research
agenda{''}, whereas eight studies are mapped to the subcategory ``OSS vs
Proprietary{''}. Both of these sub-categories fall in the main category
of ``Conceptual{''}. The second major work is in the ``OSS
Production{''} category in the sub-categories of ``Communities{''}
(ten), ``Process{''} (eight), ``User and Developer Motivation{''}
(nine), and ``Self-Organization (Product and Community Evolution){''}
(six). Seven studies are also mapped to the sub-category of ``Software
Quality{''} in the main category of ``Performance Metrics{''}. Other
categories have fewer studies mapped to them.
The areas identified, thematically, for future directions are ``OSS
contributors{''}, ``OSS development process{''}, ``OSS evolution and
prediction{''}, ``use of OSS in different domains{''}, and ``OSS
adoption/adaptation/integration{''}. The mapping between ``key research
areas{''} of systematic secondary studies and ``taxonomy categories{''}
shows that there is no or little research in some of the categories of
taxonomy, having potential of future research. The future directions
thematic analysis will also aid researchers and practitioners.},

Abstract = {Context: Relationships within open-source software ecosystems (OSSECO)
emerge from the collaboration within the ecosystem. Power relations are
present in this context whenever an entity has the power of making other
entities act as it wants them to act. Therefore, these power relations
could affect collaboration within an OSSECO. Objective: This research
aims at investigating power relations, their benefits and challenges,
and providing an understanding of them within OSSECO. The goal is to
provide power relations forms description together with the power
relations dynamics associated with them. Method: A systematic mapping
study was conducted to extract information about power relations (forms,
dynamics, benefits, and challenges) from previous studies. At the end,
10 studies reporting power relations within OSSECO were selected. Next,
the data extracted from those was analyzed to understand what power
relations affect the OSSECO and how this happens. Based on the results,
the power relation forms and dynamics within OSSECO are defined.
Results: The systematic mapping study show that power relations are
present and affect relationships and interactions within an OSSECO.
Moreover, 5 power relations forms and 7 power relations dynamics within
OSSECO are presented. Implications: Identifying power relations that
might be present within an OSSECO would enable those who study or are
members of the ecosystem's community to enhance power relations that
support collaboration and to avoid those who can lead developers to
leave the OSSECO.},

underscore the importance of transcending from traditional lecture
format to actively involving students in time-limited, iterative

experience encompassed both online and in-person classes, involving a
substantial cohort of over 300 students spanning four semesters.
Students' perceptions regarding the course are analyzed and compared
with previous, related studies. Our results are positively aligned with
the existing literature of software engineering teaching, confirming the
effectiveness of combining TBL with OSS contributions. Additionally, our
survey has shed light on the challenges that students encounter during
their first contribution to OSS projects, highlighting the need for

Abstract = {One of the essential objectives of the software engineering is to
develop techniques and tools for high-quality software solutions that
are stable and maintainable. Software managers and developers use
several measures to measure and improve the quality of a software
solution throughout the development process. These measures assess the
quality of different software attributes, such as product size,
cohesion, coupling, and complexity. Researchers and practitioners use
software metrics to understand and improve software solutions and the
processes used to develop them. Determining the relationship between
software metrics aids in clarifying practical issues with regard to the
relationship between the quality of internal and external software
attributes. We conducted an empirical study on two open source systems
(JEDIT and ANT) to study the defectiveness Evolution in Open Source
Software Systems. The result reveals that a good designed software has
lesser defects and have high cohesion. Moreover the study also revealed
that defects are higher in initial versions and most corrected errors
are from major classes in initial version. Removal of defects also
reveals that a good software is consistently improved and feed backs are
important part of open source systems. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published

development of OSS, licensing issues, and motivations of developers.
Research in the area of customization of OSS is rare, however. The
process after the deployment of an OSS within a company remains unknown.
There is a danger that it is often unstructured and error-prone since
OSS develops in a more complex way than proprietary software. Based on
our literature study, modifications of open source code do occur also in
organizations outside of the software industry. Customization of
applications is more common than customization of infrastructure
software in these organizations. Therefore, we examine the process of
deployment and adaptation of an OSS application software over several
update iterations in great detail. This examination shows that this
process has similarities with the process of deployment of proprietary
software but it also exhibits important differences. Based on this case
study, we also suggest a process model for customization of OSS
applications in user organizations.},

Abstract = {The increasing adoption of open source software (OSS) components in
software systems introduces new quality risks and testing challenges.
OSS components are developed and maintained by open communities and the
fluctuation of community members and structures can result in
instability of the software quality. Hence, an investigation is
necessary to analyze the impact open community dynamics and the quality
of the OSS, such as the level and trends in internal communications and
content distribution. The analysis results provide inputs to drive
selective testing for effective validation and verification of OSS
components. The paper suggests an approach for monitoring community
dynamics continuously, including communications like email and blogs,
and repositories of bugs and fixes. Detection of patterns in the
monitored behavior such as changes in traffic levels within and across
clusters can be used in turn to drive testing efforts. Our proposal is
demonstrated in the case of the XWiki OSS, a Java-based environment that
allows for the storing of structured data and the execution of server
side scripts within the wiki interface. We illustrate our concepts,
methods and approach behind this approach for risk based testing of OSS.},

Abstract = {The increasing demand for open source software in various fields of
computer science is obvious. Many developers adopt open source software
in their development process, organization culture, and products. Hence,
there are many cases where developers who are new to open source
software should maintain and continue to develop the software. This
paper suggests a methodology to evaluate unseen organizational effort
for open source software. It proposes ways to coordinate developers to
maintain it.},

Abstract = {The paper discusses three key economic problems raised by the emergence
of Open Source: motivation, co-ordination, and diffusion. First, the
movement took off through the activity of a community that did not
follow profit motivations. Second, a hierarchical co-ordination emerged
without proprietary rights. Third, Open Source systems diffused in
environments dominated by proprietary standards. The paper shows that
recent developments in the theory of diffusion of technologies with
network externality may help to explain these phenomena. A simulation
model based on heterogeneous agents is developed in order to identify
the relevant factors in the diffusion of the technology. (C) 2003

Abstract = {Irrespective of increased implementation of OSS in organizations, its
impact on productivity remains a strategic challenge. Influenced by the
``creative elements{''} of OSS, individuals in organizations often
forget that the end result of software implementation is to improve
productivity, thereby creating a negative impression on OSS
implementation strategy as a whole. In this study, we argue that fit
between the individual's task, values and work demands can influence or
hinder the sustained use of OSS. We explore how task-technology fit and
two dimensions of person-organization fit (value-based fit and
demand-ability fit) interact with each other to influence productivity
performance. Using survey data, we find that congruence between the
organization's OSS values and the individual user's OSS values
(value-based fit), decreases productivity performance, whereas, fit
between an individual's OSS skills and the organizational task demands
(demandability fit), increases productivity performance. We discuss
managerial implications and contributions of the findings.},

Abstract = {Besides source code, the fundamental source of information about open
source software lies in documentation, and other non source code files,
like README, INSTALL, or How-To files, commonly available in the
software ecosystem. These documents, written in natural language,
provide valuable information during the software development stage, but
also in future maintenance and evolution tasks.
DMOSS3 is a toolkit designed to systematically assess the quality of non
source code content found in software packages. The toolkit handles a
package as an attribute tree, and performs several tree traverse
algorithms through a set of plugins, specialized in retrieving specific
metrics from text, gathering information about the software. These
metrics are later used to infer knowledge about the software, and
composed together to build reports that assess the quality of specific
features.
This paper discusses the motivations for this work, continues with a
description of the toolkit implementation and design goals. This is
followed by an example of its usage to process a software package, and
the produced report.},

Abstract = {The success of Linux and Apache has strengthened the opinion that the
open source paradigm is one of the most promising strategies to enhance
the maturity, quality, and efficiency of software development
activities. This observation, however, has not been discussed in much
detail and critically addressed by the software engineering community.
Most of the claims associated with open source appear to be weakly
motivated and articulated.
For this reason, this paper proposes some qualitative reflections and
observations on the nature of open source software and on the most
popular and important claims associated with the open source approach.
The ultimate goal of the paper is to identify the concepts and
intuitions that are really peculiar to open source, and to distinguish
them from features and aspects that can be equally applied to or found
in proprietary software. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights

characterizes software maintenance, and open source software (OSS) reuse
which are particularly relevant in this context. The information needs
of maintainers and reusers can be supported by reverse engineering tools
at different information retrieval levels. The paper presents an
automated license retrieval approach called ASLA. User needs, system
architecture, tool features, and tool evaluation are presented. The
implemented tool features support identifying source file dependencies
and licenses in source files, and adding new license templates for
identifying licenses. The tool is evaluated against another tool for
license information extraction. ASLA requires the source code as
available input but is otherwise not limited to OSS. It supports the
same programming languages as GCC. License identification coverage is
good and the tool is extendable.},

Abstract = {Nowadays open source software becomes highly popular and is of great
importance for most software engineering activities. To facilitate
software organization and retrieval, tagging is extensively used in open
source communities. However, finding the desired software through tags
in these communities such as Freecode and ohloh is still challenging
because of tag insufficiency. In this paper, we propose TRG (tag
recommendation based on semantic graph), a novel approach to discovering
and enriching tags of open source software. Firstly, we propose a
semantic graph to model the semantic correlations between tags and the
words in software descriptions. Then based on the graph, we design an
effective algorithm to recommend tags for software. With comprehensive
experiments on large-scale open source software datasets by comparing
with several typical related works, we demonstrate the effectiveness and
efficiency of our method in recommending proper tags.},

Abstract = {The proliferation of computer technology and the advent of the Internet
have created many new relationships and problems that raise questions
about traditional legal and economic principles. The development of
``open-source{''} or ``free{''} software is an example of this
phenomenon. Unlike the traditional producers of computer software -
Microsoft for example - open-source software is often developed by
computer programmers from all over the world, each submitting
contributions to the code, and distributed without charge or for a
minimal fee. Open-source software is generally passed from programmer to
programmer, with the understanding that improvements may be made, but
that the improvements must be distributed freely, without any attempt to
``privatize{''} the program.
The existence of such relationships among programmers raise several
interesting questions. First, how do large-scale open-source projects
come into being? One open-source project, the GNU/Linux operating
system, even threatens the market share of Microsoft's operating systems
- a feat that calls traditional economic theories on the operation of
the firm into question. A more important question is whether the
open-source model is sustainable and generalizable. Ultimately, one
wonders what role the law will play in the open-source community - a
community that seems to operate in the absence of traditional legal
principles.
In this article, which was introduced at the University of Illinois
College of Law Symposium on Intellectual Property Challenges in the Next
Century, Professor McGowan addresses these questions. Using the
GNU/Linux operating system as a case study, he probes the organization
of the open-source community and the philosophies of its leading members
in order to understand how traditional firm models, intellectual
property, and contract law might apply. Professor McCowan concludes by
reviewing recent attempts by courts to impose traditional principles in
computer software transaction disputes. Ultimately, it appears that the
open-source community cannot be neatly categorized. Although many
traditional firm theories - such as the formation of a hierarchy - and
legal principles - such as copyright - do apply to the open-source
model, these theories and principles are employed in creative ways not
previously envisioned.},

Abstract = {Organizations and individuals can use open source software (OSS) for
free, they can study its internal workings, and they can even fix it or
modify it to make it suit their particular needs. These attributes make
OSS an enticing technological choice for a company. Unfortunately,
because most enterprises view technology as a proprietary
differentiating element of their operation, little is known about the
extent of OSS adoption in industry and the key drivers behind adoption
decisions. In this article we examine factors and behaviors associated
with the adoption of OSS and provide empirical findings through data
gathered from the US Fortune-1000 companies. The data come from each
company's web browsing and serving activities, gathered by sifting
through more than 278 million web server log records and analyzing the
results of thousands of network probes. We show that the adoption of OSS
in large US companies is significant and is increasing over time through
a low-churn transition, advancing from applications to platforms. Its
adoption is a pragmatic decision influenced by network effects. It is
likelier in larger organizations and those with many less productive
employees, and is associated with IT and knowledge-intensive work and
operating efficiencies. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.},

Software Projects: A Longitudinal Study},

Year = {2023},
Volume = {32},
Number = {4},
Month = {JUL},
Abstract = {Despite the absence of a formal process and a central
command-and-control structure, developer organization in open-source
software (OSS) projects are far from being a purely random process.
Prior work indicates that, over time, highly successful OSS projects
develop a hybrid organizational structure that comprises a hierarchical
part and a non-hierarchical part. This suggests that hierarchical
organization is not necessarily a global organizing principle and that a
fundamentally different principle is at play below the lowest positions
in the hierarchy. Given the vast proportion of developers are in the
non-hierarchical part, we seek to understand the interplay between these
two fundamentally differently organized groups, how this hybrid
structure evolves, and the trajectory individual developers take through
these structures over the course of their participation. We conducted a
longitudinal study of the full histories of 20 popular OSS projects,
modeling their organizational structures as networks of developers
connected by communication ties and characterizing developers' positions
in terms of hierarchical (sub)structures in these networks. We observed
a number of notable trends and patterns in the subject projects: (1)
hierarchy is a pervasive structural feature of developer networks of OSS
projects; (2) OSS projects tend to form hybrid organizational
structures, consisting of a hierarchical and a non-hierarchical part;
and (3) the positional trajectory of a developer starts loosely
connected in the non-hierarchical part and then tightly integrate into
the hierarchical part, which is associated with the acquisition of
experience (tenure), in addition to coordination and coding activities.
Our study (a) provides a methodological basis for further investigations
of hierarchy formation, (b) suggests a number of hypotheses on prevalent
organizational patterns and trends in OSS projects to be addressed in
further work, and (c) may ultimately guide the governance of
organizational structures.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) communities are often international, bringing
together people from diverse regions with different linguistic and
cultural backgrounds. National user groups can bolster these
international communities by convening local events, championing the
software to peers, welcoming and onboarding new contributors, raising
money to support the broader community, and collecting important
information on user's needs. The open source community-led software
DSpace has had great success encouraging the creation of national user
groups; in the UK, North America, and Germany, the Groups have been
active for many years. However, it was in 2018, thanks to a renewed
focus on international engagement and more diverse representation of the
global community in governance groups, that the national communities
entered into a new phase: 15 new national User Groups have been formed
all over the world since then, while the German user group evolved into
the ``DSpace-Konsortium Deutschland{''}, founded by 25 institutions,
marking a pivotal point for membership options and National User Group
participation within DSpace Governance. This article will offer an
overview of the historical development of the DSpace community and its

Abstract = {It is common for community-based free software projects to be associated
with an organizational scenario that resembles ``a bazaar more than a
cathedral,{''} and to differ from the traditional, or `bureaucratic' way
of organizing work. This paper analyzes the governance of these
organizations from the perspective of their structure and control,
considering the development trajectory of three communitybased free
software projects in Brazil. Results show that the constant need to
produce modern technologies gives rise to external pressures that
promote change - albeit temporary - in the governance of these projects,
making them resemble a cathedral more than a bazaar. Governance does not
follow a cycle of sequential improvement; it changes depending on the
external organizational actors present, such as sponsors. This suggests
the need for strategic and flexible governance to deal with the
acquisition and allocation of organizational resources. Governance of
the projects described here varies along a spectrum of (in)formality
that allows both production models - cathedral or bazaar - to exist in
the same organization at different periods.},

Title = {Learning to detect community smells in open source software projects},
Journal = {KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEMS},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {204},
Month = {SEP 27},
Abstract = {Community smells are symptoms of organizational and social issues within
the software development community that often lead to additional project
costs. Recent studies identified a variety of community smells and
defined them as sub-optimal patterns connected to organizational-social
structures in the software development community. To early detect and
discover existence of potential community smells in a software project,
we introduce, in this paper, a novel machine learning-based detection
approach, named CSDETECTOR, that learns from various existing bad
community development practices to provide automated support in
detecting such community smells. In particular, our approach learns from
a set of organizational-social symptoms that characterize the existence
of potential instances of community smells in a software project. We
built a detection model using Decision Tree by adopting the C4.5
classifier to identify eight commonly occurring community smells in
software projects. To evaluate the performance of our approach, we
conduct an empirical study on a benchmark of 74 open source projects
from Github. Our statistical results show a high performance of
CSDETECTOR, achieving an average accuracy of 96\% and AUC of 0.94.
Moreover, our results indicate that the CSDETECTOR outperforms two
recent state-of-the-art techniques in terms of detection accuracy.
Finally, we investigate the most influential community-related metrics
to identify each community smell type. We found that the number of
commits and developers per time zone, the number of developers per
community, and the social network betweenness and closeness centrality
are the most influential community characteristics. (C) 2020 Elsevier

Abstract = {Design and evolution of modem information systems is influenced by many
factors: technical, organizational, social, and psychological. This is
especially true for open source software systems (OSSS), when many
developers from different backgrounds interact, share their ideas and
contribute towards the development and improvement of a software
product. The evolution of all OSSS is a continuous process of source
code development, adaptation, improvement and maintenance. Studying
changes to the various characteristics of source code can help us
understand the evolution of a software system. In this paper, the
software evolution process is analyzed using a proposed Evolution curve
(E-curve) method, which is based on information theoretic metrics of
source code. The method allows identifying major evolution stages and
transition points of an analyzed software system. The application of the
E-curves is demonstrated for the eMule system.},

Abstract = {In the past decade, open-source software (OSS) has become a very popular
research topic in the field of software engineering. Because its code is
open to the public, it has been pursued by programming teams all over
the world, including those in universities, government agencies and
enterprises. In addition to analyzing some famous OSS projects,
researchers also studied OSS projects and their functions in GitHub.
However, the evolution process and the rules of OSS projects in GitHub
have not been widely investigated so we conducted in-depth research on
this issue. We use the cellular automata (CA) in the field of system
dynamics to model the OSS project, construct the evolution rules of the
Gray wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm, define the objective vector,
objective function and key optimization operators of GWO for OSS
cellular evolution, and realize the intelligent acquisition of OSS
project evolution rules in GitHub. In addition, we also selected the
data of some OSS projects in GitHub from 2015 to 2020 for the simulation
experiment. The experiment results show that the total accuracy of the
simulation is 91.4\%, which is consistent with real data.},

Abstract = {Software quality comprises different and interrelated aspects. One of
them is maintainability, which in turn is made up of measurable
attributes. Previous studies have shown that documentation, by
contributing to the comprehensibility of software, may have a positive
effect on maintainability and, hence, software quality. This paper
presents a study in which we analyzed Javadoc comments from 163
different open-source projects. Javadoc is the de facto standard for
documenting source code files in Java projects, and although its syntax
is less strict than in other (programming) languages, documentation
written with Javadoc may contain violations. Our study focuses on the
detection of different types of Javadoc violations as well as the source
code elements affected by them. Also, by utilizing software repository
mining techniques, we examined the history of the subject systems to
gain further insights into the evolution of Javadoc violations.
According to our results, about half of the source code elements have no
Javadoc whatsoever. Among the different components of Javadoc comments
(if present), the description of exceptions, by far, has the highest
average ratio of violations. With regard to the types of affected
elements, constructors and methods show very high average ratios. Also,
we found that, on average, violations live more than two years.
Nowadays, most integrated development environments (IDEs) for Java are
capable of detecting missing Javadoc comments as well as comments with
syntactic errors. However, our results indicate that the documentation
of source code might be considered less important to developers or that
these tools alone may not be sufficient for maintaining consistent
documentation.},

Abstract = {A comprehensive set of governance mechanisms and dimensions were
investigated to identify combinations of mechanisms that are effectively
used together in on-going volunteer-based open source software (OSS)
projects. Three configurations were identified: Defined Community, Open
Community, and Authoritarian Community. Notably, Defined Community
governance had the strongest coordination and project climate and had
the most extensive use of outcome, behavior, and clan control mechanisms
(controller driven). The controls in the Defined Community governance
configuration appear to effectively enable open, coordinated
contribution and participation from a wide variety of talented
developers (one of the virtues of open source development) while
managing the development process and outcomes. The results add to our
theoretical understanding of control in different types of information
systems projects, as the combination of control modes found in OSS
projects is different from those found in previous research for internal
or outsourced information systems development projects. This could be
due to unique features of OSS projects, such as volunteer participation
and the controller being part of the development team. The results
provide guidance for practitioners about how to combine 19 identified
governance mechanisms into effective project governance that stimulates
productive participation.},

Abstract = {The Open Source Software (OSS) development model is arousing increasing
interest from both practitioners and theorists. OSS models are congenial
for both private companies and public administrations since they provide
software users and suppliers with highly responsive and innovative
development models which are likely to reduce costs and to provide
additional autonomy within critical technological domains. OSS are
characterized by the distribution of source code to any developer
interested in contributing to the provision of the code. License terms
allow a developer to make unlimited copies of the source code which can
be modified indefinitely by developers to fulfil particular needs. Each
developer is then free to distribute her work and exploit it
commercially depending on license terms. The U.S. Department of Defense
(DoD) is currently introducing Open Source Software (OSS) development
models through its Open Technology Development (OTD) project (Herz et
al. 2006). OSS adoption is becoming popular for military purposes.
Indeed, the digital transformation of the U.S. military has generated a
strong need for new modes of software management. In this context, the
OTD project tends to set up an innovative model for software
acquisition, maintenance, updating, and renewing. Focusing on the
adoption of Military Open Source Software (MOSS) models by the U.S.
Department of Defense (DoD), this article suggests that the open nature
of OSS development platforms induces significant organizational changes
related to the acquisition, transformation and creation of a variety of
OSS core capabilities. Furthermore, we suggest that the U.S. military
organizations should perceive modularity in software architecture as a
means to establish effective modes of knowledge management and
innovation. Building on the distinction between architectural and
component knowledge, we find that modular source code structuring
facilitates the division, distribution and coordination of both
architectural knowledge and component knowledge within heterogeneous OSS
developers' communities.},

Abstract = {Technological development has become so manifest in all fields that it
is now highly crucial to take it into consideration whenever possible.
Open Source Software (OSS) has becoming widely adopted by commercial,
public and academic organisations. Currently, there is increasing
interest and demand in the existing applications of OSS in all fields
all over the world! OSS has increased in prominence in the last decade,
mostly due to the success of well-known software organisations such as
Apache, Mozilla, Linux and Guice. As these organisations have become
more dependent on software, the effective management of Software
Evolution (SE) becomes more critical to an organization's success.
Therefore, the provision of well-evolved OSS has become an urgent issue
in these days and will be so in the future. Therefore, the major
challenge in OSS is how to evolve its environment, especially
improvements in the security and quality of these systems. The main aim
of this paper is to measure the evolution of OSS using, Eclipse Metrics
(EM), with Guice software (GS) as a case study. In addition, this paper
gives a brief literature review on OSS and how it has evolved.},

quantitative and qualitative analysis of three OSS projects. Finding
shows that software firms emphasize the co-creation of common value and
partly react to the potential competitiveness on OSS ecosystems. Six
themes about coopetition were identified, including spanning
gatekeepers, securing communication, open-core sourcing and filtering
shared code. Our work contributes to software engineering research with
a rich description of coopetition in OSS ecosystems. Moreover, we also

Pages = {167-182},
Abstract = {Drawing from the concept of entropy in open systems theory, this article
contributes to organizational theory by illuminating organizational life
cycle theory and exploring open source software development communities
(OSSDC) with quantitative longitudinal data. In particular, this study
uses functional data analysis to uncover the development patterns of
open source software projects in terms of effectiveness and activity
levels. Our findings show that the life cycles of OSSDC display an
inverted-U shape in terms of effectiveness level and an inverted-S shape
in terms of activity level. Although our results provide some evidence
of distinct states, they do not imply that such states are predetermined
or irreversible. On the contrary, these numerous states are viewed here
as intrinsically dynamic. These findings not only give empirical support
to the organizational life cycle metaphor in the context of OSSDC, but
also aid practitioners and policy-makers in assessing online
communities. Taking an open systems view of organizations, this study
aids in reconciling some issues in life cycle theory, such as the
irreversibility and pre-determinacy of life cycle models, and adds to a
young but fast growing stream of literature on open source projects.
Lastly, our findings remark the importance of fostering active
communities for superior effectiveness and long-term survival of the
community.},

Abstract = {Digital commons have held the interest of the research community in
recent years. However, institutional recognition has not been fully
awarded mainly due to the absence of a comprehensive reporting
framework. The objective of our research is to identify indicators in
order to measure open source projects performance. Motivation that led
us to carry out this analysis was the fact that, despite the many
benefits attributed to open sourcing, no information about it was
disclosed on annual reports. We are based on previous literature about
creating institutions to governing the commons. One of the key goals is
institutional reporting to members of the community, so we believe that
a reporting model based on social responsibility framework is clearly
suitable for this purpose. Social responsibility and sustainability are
about enabling organizations to incorporate creation of social,
environmental and economic value into core strategy and operations;
their reporting is key to create value for organizations, their
stakeholders and society as a whole. To reach our goal, we asked a panel
of open source experts their opinion about the key success factors and
other relevant variables for the purpose of recommending a methodology
to calculate specific indicators to be disclosed on social
responsibility reports.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) communities rely on the high-quality codes
contributed by community members. However, users often tend to acquire
codes from the community and are reluctant to contribute their
knowledge. Integrating the motivational theory and social capital
theory, this article intends to explore users' contribution in OSS
communities. A mixed method of SEM and fsQCA was used to perform data
analysis. We found that intrinsic motivations (flow experience and
self-efficacy), extrinsic motivations (perceived reputation and
reciprocity), social interaction ties, community identification, and
common language positively affect users' contribution intention. Trust
has no effect on the contribution intention. The fsQCA results indicated
that flow experience, perceived reputation, reciprocity and trust are
the common core conditions of four configurations leading to
contribution intention. The results suggest that OSS communities need to

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) systems are being used for increasingly
critical functions in modern societies, e.g., in health care, finance,
government, defense, and other safety and security sensitive sectors.
There is an increasing interest in software certification as a means to
assure quality and dependability of such systems. However, the
development processes and organizational structures of OSS projects can
be substantially different from traditional closed-source projects. The
distributed, ``bazaar-style{''} approach to software development in OSS
systems is often perceived incompatible with certification. This paper
presents the results of a scoping review on certification in OSS systems
in order to identify and categorize key issues and provide a
comprehensive overview of the current evidence on this topic.},

Abstract = {Prior research into open source software (OSS) developer participation
has emphasized individuals' motivations for joining these volunteer
communities, but it has failed to explain why people stay or leave in
the long run. Building upon Lave and Wenger's theory of legitimate
peripheral participation (LPP), this paper offers a longitudinal
investigation of one OSS community in which sustained participation is
hypothesized to be associated with the coevolution of two major elements
of LPP theory: ``situated learning{''} (the process of acting
knowledgeably and purposefully in the world) and ``identity
construction{''} (the process of being identified within the community).
To test this hypothesis, data were collected from multiple sources,
including online public project documents, electronic mail messages,
tracker messages, and log files. Results from qualitative analyses
revealed that initial conditions to participate did not effectively
predict long-term participation, but that situated learning and identity
construction behaviors were positively linked to sustained
participation. Furthermore, this study reveals that sustained
participants distinguished themselves by consistently engaging in
situated learning that both made conceptual (advising others) and
practical contributions (improving the code). Implications and future
research are discussed.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) has been recognized by the software
development community as an effective way to deliver software. Unlike
traditional software development, OSS development is driven by
collaboration among developers spread geographically and motivated by
common goals and interests. Besides this fact, it is recognized by the
OSS community the need to understand OSS development process and its
activities. Our goal is to investigate the state-of-art about OSS
process through conducting a systematic literature review providing an
overview of how the OSS community has been investigating OSS process
over past years. We identified and summarized OSS process activities and
their characteristics and translated them into an OSS macro process
using BPMN notation. As a result, we systematically analyzed 33 studies
presenting an overview of the OSS process research and a generalized OSS
development macro process represented by BPMN notation with a detailed
description of each OSS process activity and roles in OSS environment.
We conclude that OSS process can be in practice further investigated by
researchers. In addition, the presented OSS process can be used as a
guide for OSS projects and be adapted according to each OSS project
reality. It provides insights to managers and developers who want to
improve their development process even in OSS and traditional
environments. Finally, recommendations for OSS community regarding OSS
process activities are provided.},

Abstract = {Most companies face high expenditures and numerous challenges in today's
competitive industrial environment where cost of technology can be an
extra burden. To address these challenges, businesses can use Open
Source Software (OSS). Even though OSS provides many benefits, including
high-quality software and substantial profit (Sohn \& Mok, 2008), OSS
also has a number of disadvantages. In several countries, governments
have begun to recognize the importance of OSS and have started to adopt
explicit policies on OSS (Cook \& Horobin, 2006). Open Source Software
holds several compelling benefits for businesses. Information on
wide-ranging use and examples of OSS in organizations are scattered and
sometimes skewed to a few OSS. The chapter identifies different OSS that
are currently used or have the potential to substitute other proprietary
software packages in business; how organizations share information and
how OSS is used globally by organizations and governments and their
implications thereof is reviewed.},

Abstract = {The evolution of software is necessary for the success of software
systems. Studying the evolution of software and understanding it is a
vocal topic of study in software engineering. One of the primary
concepts of software evolution is that the internal quality of a
software system declines when it evolves. In this paper, the method of
evolution of the internal quality of object-oriented open-source
software systems has been examined by applying a software metric
approach. More specifically, we analyze how software systems evolve over
versions regarding size and the relationship between size and different
internal quality metrics. The results and observations of this research
include: (i) there is a significant difference between different systems
concerning the LOC variable (ii) there is a significant correlation
between all pairwise comparisons of internal quality metrics, and (iii)
the effect of complexity and inheritance on the LOC was positive and
significant, while the effect of Coupling and Cohesion was not
significant.},

Abstract = {The development and implementation of open source software (OSS) is one
of the most current topics within the academic, business and political

individual personal motives for participating in the development of an
OSS project, analyzing specific OSS solutions, or the OSS movement,
itself. Nevertheless, user acceptance towards this type of technology
has received very little attention. For this reason, the main purpose of
the current study is to identify the variables and factors that have a
direct effect on individual attitude towards OSS adoption. Therefore, we
have developed a technological acceptance model on behalf of the users
towards a solution based on OSS. For this development, we have
considered the technology acceptance model. Findings show that OSS is a
viable solution for information management for organizations. (C) 2007

``critical{''} projects through manual analysis and automated tools,
including aspects such as sustainability, funding, community engagement
and adherence to security policies. The results of the analysis will be
presented on a user-friendly web platform, which will allow users to
view the health of individual OSS projects as well as the overall health
of the OSS ecosystem. With this approach, the CrOSSD project provides a
comprehensive and up-to-date view of the health of OSS projects, making
it easier for developers, maintainers and other stakeholders to

Title = {Does Open Source Software influence economic growth?},
Journal = {E-MENTOR},
Year = {2015},
Number = {2},
Pages = {69-76},
Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) community is challenging the traditional
meaning of property rights. The way the OSS products are developed and
distributed is questioning the right to exclude others from using the
goods and introduces the right to distribute and modify software for
free. The economic impact of the Open Source Software contribution is
significant, it has been estimated that it represents c.a. 30\% of the
software market. There is an increasing interest in studying OSS
communities, however there have been a small number of studies
investigating the general role of the OSS in the economic growth.
Therefore the lack of theory linking the economic growth and OSS
contribution represents the main theoretical problem of this paper. The
goal of this article is to prove that the existence of OSS communities
increases the quantity of non-rival and non-excludable goods, which -
according to endogenous model of growth - leads to economic growth.
Additionally the study findings undermine the neoclassical theory of
property rights in terms of non-rival and non-excludable goods. The
structure of the paper is organized as follows. In section 1 the article
focuses on the literature addressing the role of the non-rival and
non-excludable goods in the theory of growth and theory of property
rights. Section 2, contains the literature review of the OSS
socio-economic phenomena and argues that the neoclassical theory of
rights is inadequate to explain OSS market existence. Section 3 of the
paper summarizes the main conclusions and discusses the general
motivation behind the creation of the non-excludable and non-rival goods
as well as the diminishing role of the egoism as the origin of the
economic growth. From the methodological point of view the paper
represents a literature review and a critical analysis of the endogenous
growth theory and the theory of property rights.},

contributors of several open source projects. Open-ended comments were
used to illustrate the Likert-scaled items and open-ended questions
allowed respondents to express their reasons for participating in these
open source communities. Results indicate that the open source
contributors (n = 110, 38 paid to work on OSS projects and 72
volunteers) are motivated primarily by a sense of altruism as well as
the desire to create and learn. Payment did not significantly impact the
reasons for contributing to OSS projects. The comments and open-ended
questions validated the findings and indicated that building a
``Utopian{''} community - the desire to help for the greater good
worldwide - is one of the most important motivators. Also, respondents
revealed that they join and persist as members of open source
communities because they enjoy the freedom to create and share free
software, tools and knowledge with others inside and outside the
community. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

Abstract = {Open source software development may be superior to proprietary
development because the open source organizational form naturally
minimizes transactions costs associated with privately distributed
information. This manifests itself in the ability of open source
communities to encourage critical peer review and the sharing of ideas.
When these activities are important, the open source organizalional form
may do better than a proprietary organizational form. My results suggest
why open source is particularly powerful when maintainability of
software is critical, and also suggest that the founder of a software
project may be more likely to choose open source if there is an existing
dominant proprietary software project. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights

the destruction of evidence of the attack and the conservation of the

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) has been studied as a popular example of open
innovation. Models used in open software development are innovative in
several ways, to the point that they are only recognized as valid models
at all since they have actually produced mature and stable software more
in a swift fashion. Some studies attempt to answer the OSS's development
model, way to produce the quality products and distributed development
model driven by motivated voluntary developers found in OSS. However,
they are usually focused on handful projects and often miss to represent
the whole world of OSS development. We analyze FLOSSMetrics database and
SourceForge repository. By examining these, we attempt to identify 1)
factual landscape of OSS projects, 2) correlation between different
measures including developers' activities and consumers' interests. This
analysis is also supplemented by empirical research on world re-known
OSS projects to identify the implication of vendor-led OSS projects. We
find that OSS projects are hardly to be seen as loci of future open
innovation in several ways. We also conclude that prior belief which
altruistic developers donating time and effort for the common good is
highly romanticized view of open source software.},

Abstract = {The supply chain is an extremely successful way to cope with the risk
posed by distributed decision making in product sourcing and
distribution. While open source software has similarly distributed
decision making and involves code and information flows similar to those
in ordinary supply chains, the actual networks necessary to quantify and
communicate risks in software supply chains have not been constructed on
large scale. This work proposes to close this gap by measuring
dependency, code reuse, and knowledge flow networks in open source
software. We have done preliminary work by developing suitable tools and
methods that rely on public version control data to measure and
comparing these networks for R language and emberjs packages. We propose
ways to calculate the three networks for the entirety of public
software, evaluate their accuracy, and to provide public infrastructure
to build risk assessment and mitigation tools for various individual and
organizational participants in open sources software. We hope that this
infrastructure will contribute to more predictable experience with OSS
and lead to its even wider adoption.},

understanding the roles, forms, kind consequences arising in

open source software development communities are described, examined,

two dozen kinds of software informalisms are found to play a critical
role in the elicitation, analysis, specification, validation, and
management of requirements for developing OSS systems. Subsequently,
understanding the roles these software informalisms take in a new
formulation of the requirements development process for OSS is the focus
of this study. This focus enables considering a reformulation of the
requirements engineering process and its associated artifacts or
(in)formalisms to better account for the requirements when developing
OSS systems. Other findings identify how OSS requirements are
decentralized across multiple informalisms, and to the need for advances
in how to specify the capabilities of existing OSS systems.},

Abstract = {Open source software has been growing in popularity over the years. In
many cases, it is an assumed `` tool of the trade{''} for information
system development. Many companies are now looking to open source
software as an alternative to purchasing or developing information
system components, with the driving factor being lower capital costs.
What does it mean to be open source? Is this trend really a good thing?
Should you be looking to the open source community to solve the IT
problems on your factory floor? We will explain the concepts and
philosophies behind open source development and community sponsored
software, look at why you may or may not want to use it and consider the
risks and responsibilities that come with open source tools.
Overall, we have found that the potential benefits to the manufacturing
community are great but not without pitfalls to avoid. We discuss the
issues that must be considered when choosing to use these components and
tools, because capital costs are not the only expenditures that can be
incurred.},

Abstract = {Open source software development represents a fundamentally new concept
in the field of software engineering. Comparing to traditional software
engineering approach, we found this approach is absolutely reversed.
Open source development and delivery occurs on Internet time. Developers
are not confined to a geographic area. They work voluntarily on a
project of their choice; they are not forced to join a particular
project just because it needs more developers or the project has a high
degree of urgency. Developers work for peer-recognition and
self-satisfaction. In the open source community, each and every project
has an equal priority. Software designed under open source is not
released until the project owner thinks that the software has reached a
functional stage. One of the success stories is the Linux operating
system. Open Source software is always in an evolutionary stage: it
never reaches a final stage. As new requirements emerge the software is
enhanced by the user/developers. In this paper, we give an introduction
to the insights of open source software development. We then elucidate
the perceived benefits and point out the differences between open source
and closed source software development approaches. At the end we propose
a new model for open source software development.},

risks or security vulnerabilities, besides inadverted errors, originates
from criminal activity, which anonymously thrives on the Web and can
outbreak any organization, mainly for profit but sometimes just for the
challenge of doing it. Consequently, creating and managing a security
system is often the main form of precaution and it is the solution that
guarantees better success rates. In this paper, we are interested in
software with a lower financial cost, therefore our focus is in Free and

are analyzed: Firewall and Web Applications Firewall (WAF).},

experiments. Using OURMINE, data mining novices can specify and execute
intricate experiments, while researchers can publish their complete

of OURMINE's succinctness. For example, this paper presents two
experiments documented in the OURMINE syntax. Thus, the brevity and

practicable learning opportunities in lower-level CS classes. Depending
on classroom circumstances, instructors can assign projects that involve
student contributions to OSS, custom plug-ins, simulated open source
communities, or practical code excerpts. As a result, students will be
able to explore the utility of CS and discover an exciting future in

Abstract = {As a software system evolves, its architecture will drift. System
changes are often done without considering their effects on the system
structure. These changes often introduce structural anomalies between
the concrete (as-built) and the conceptual (as-designed) architecture
which can impede program understanding. The problem of architectural
drift is especially pronounced in open source systems, where many
developers work in isolation on distinct features with little
co-ordination. In this paper we present our experiences with repairing
the architectures of two large open source systems (the Linux operating
system kernel and the VIM text editor) to aid program understanding. For
both systems, we were successful in removing many structural anomalies
from their architectures.},

study measures the firm-level productivity impact of nonpecuniary (free)

that have an ecosystem of complementary capabilities. There is no such
impact for firms without this ecosystem of complements. Dynamic panel
analysis, instrumental variables, and a variety of robustness checks are
used to address measurement error concerns and to add support for a more
causal interpretation of the results. For firms with an ecosystem of
complements, a 1\% increase in the use of nonpecuniary OSS leads to an
increase in value- added productivity of between 0.002\% and 0.008\%.
This effect is smaller for larger firms, and the results indicate that
prior research underestimates the amount of IT firms use.},

Abstract = {The increased dissemination of open source software to a broader
audience has led to a proportional increase in the dissemination of
vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are introduced by developers,
some intentionally or negligently. In this paper, we work to quantify
the relative risk that a given developer represents to a software
project. We propose using empirical software engineering based analysis
on the vast data made available by GitHub to create a Developer Risk
Score (DRS) for prolific contributors on GitHub. The DRS can then be
aggregated across a project as a derived vulnerability assessment, we
call this the Computational Vulnerability Assessment Score (CVAS). The
CVAS represents the correlation between the Developer Risk score across
projects and vulnerabilities attributed to those projects. We believe
this to be a contribution in trying to quantify risk introduced by
specific developers across open source projects. Both of the risk
scores, those for contributors and projects, are derived from an
amalgamation of data, both from GitHub and outside GitHub. We seek to
provide this risk metric as a force multiplier for the project
maintainers that are responsible for reviewing code contributions. We
hope this will lead to a reduction in the number of introduced
vulnerabilities for projects in the Open Source ecosystem.},

line and space patterns in SEM images. SMILE has been developed to
provide a metrology platform which is open-source and, as such, easy to
customize to specific needs and simple to integrate into a chain of
analysis. SMILE is used to measure CD, LWR and unbiased LWR. The
software is currently available as MATLAB code and under development for
open platforms such as Python or Octave. Here we describe the main
features of the software, its structure and the algorithms used to
perform line edge detection, LWR calculation and LWR unbiasing.},

Abstract = {Open source software is rapidly spreading in the world as there is no
cost associated with its acquisition. Companies have reported
substantial savings in their cost of operation with the adoption of such
software. As compared to commercial pressure exerted by users for
proprietary software, open source software relies on peer pressure among
the community involved as far as updates, amendments and enhancements
are concerned. In this paper, the adoption of open source software in
the world is highlighted together with issues pertaining to their use.
In addition, a survey showing the low adoption of such software in the
public sector in Mauritius is presented. A case study demonstrating the
benefits in terms of cost is explored in the public sector organisation
and a medium-sized private organisation in Mauritius. The promise of
open source software for Mauritius, as a small island developing state,
is also discussed as a way ahead to unleash further benefits.},

Title = {Free, Open Source Software Advocacy as a Social Justice Movement: The
Expansion of F/OSS Movement Discourse in the 21st Century},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY \& POLITICS},
Year = {2011},
Volume = {8},
Number = {3, SI},
Pages = {223-239},
Abstract = {This article argues that the rhetorical discourse found among free, open
source software (F/OSS) movements is being expanded beyond the
traditional constituency of software hackers to encompass a larger group
of non-expert users and other advocacy organizations. In so doing, the
initial goals of free software advocates are being dramatically expanded
to include broader aims of digital freedom and social justice. Utilizing
the concept of social movements from political sociology, this article
first outlines the key aims and discourses surrounding the free software
movement by discussing the emergence and development of F/OSS efforts
such as the GNU/Linux operating system and the GNU Public License (GPL).
Second, I provide examples of how the free software discourses have been
adopted, altered, and expanded by a number of organized groups over the
past decade. These groups, such as the Creative Commons, digital privacy
advocates, and global development agencies, have adopted some of the
core concepts of free software, while greatly expanding their meaning
and purpose to suit their own advocacy aims. Finally, I argue that the
adoption of free software discourse among these newer groups is also
having a recursive effect upon the free software movement by encouraging
free software advocates to conceptualize F/OSS as part of a broader
movement of digital rights and social justice. In the conclusion, the
prospects for the emergence of a larger technological and cultural
freedom movement in the future are assessed.},

Abstract = {To manage work interdependencies, online communities draw on a variety
of arm's length coordination mechanisms offered by information
technology platforms and associated practices. However, ``unresolved
interdependencies{''} remain that cannot be addressed by such arm's
length mechanisms. These interdependencies reflect, for example,
unidentified or emerging knowledge-based dependencies between the
community members or unaccounted relationships between ongoing community
tasks. At the same time, online communities cannot resort to
hierarchical coordination mechanisms such as incentives or command
structures to address such interdependencies. So, how do they manage
such interdependencies? To address this question, we conduct an
exploratory, theory-generating case study involving qualitative and
computational analyses of development activities within an open source
software community: Rubinius. We analyze the ongoing management of
interdependencies within the community and find that unresolved
interdependencies are associated with alternatively structured sequences
of activities, which we define as routines. In particular, we observe
that two distinct classes of interdependencies-development and developer
interdependencies-are associated with alternative forms of routine
variation. We identify two generalized routine components-direct
implementation and knowledge integration, which address these two
distinct classes of unresolved interdependencies. In particular, direct
implementation deals with development interdependencies within the code
that are not already coordinated through modular interfaces, while
knowledge integration resolves unaccounted interdependencies between
developers. We conclude with implications for research into organizing
principles for online communities and note the significance of our
findings for the study of coordination in organization studies in
general.},

Abstract = {The Open Source Software movement has been growing exponentially for a
number of years with no signs of slowing. Driving this growth is the
wide-spread availability of libraries and frameworks that provide many
functionalities. Developers are saving time and money incorporating this
functionality into their applications resulting in faster more
feature-rich releases. Despite the growing success and the advantages
that open source software provides, there is a dark side. Due to its
community construction and largely unregulated distribution, the
majority of open source software contains bugs, vulnerabilities and
other issues making it highly susceptible to exploits. The lack of
oversight in general hinders the quality of this software resulting in a
trickle down effect in the applications that use it. Additionally,
developers who use open source tend to arbitrarily download the software
into their build systems but rarely keep track of what they have
downloaded resulting in an excessive amount of open source software in
their applications and in their ecosystem. This paper discusses
processes and practices that users of open source software can implement
into their environments that can safely track and control the
introduction and usage of open source software into their applications,
and report on some preliminary results obtained in an industrial
context. We conclude by discussing governance issues related to the
disciplined use and reuse of open source and areas for further
improvements.},

Abstract = {Open source software projects rely on the voluntary efforts of thousands
of software developers, yet we know little about why developers choose
to participate in this collective development process. This paper
inductively derives a framework for understanding participation from the
perspective of the individual software developer based on data from two
software communities with different governance structures.
In both communities, a need for software-related improvements drives
initial participation. The majority of participants leave the community
once their needs are met, however, a small subset remains involved. For
this set of developers, motives evolve over time and participation
becomes a hobby. These hobbyists are critical to the long-term viability
of the software code: They take on tasks that might otherwise go undone
and work to maintain the simplicity and modularity of the code.
Governance structures affect this evolution of motives. Implications for
firms interested in implementing hybrid strategies designed to combine
the advantages of open source software development with proprietary
ownership and control are discussed.},

Abstract = {The research reported in this article attempts to discover who holds the
power in open source software foundations through the analysis of
governance documents. Artificial neural network analysis is used to
analyse the content of the bylaws of six open source foundations (
Apache, Eclipse, GNOME, Plone, Python, and SPI) for the purpose of
identifying power structures. Results of the research suggest that: i)
the actions of an open source software foundation are centered around
one of three groups: Members, Chairman/President/Executive Director, and
Board of Directors; ii) in only one of the six foundations is the Board
of Directors responsible for both the community and the product; and
iii) artificial neural network analysis of the content of bylaws
provides unbiased insights of the power structure of open source
software foundations. These results may prove useful to those who
contribute to open source foundations and use their products and
services.},

Title = {Has open source software been institutionalized in organizations or not?},
Journal = {INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY},
Year = {2012},
Volume = {54},
Number = {12},
Pages = {1308-1316},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Context: Almost a decade ago, researchers in information systems and
analysts of the information technology (IT) industry were predicting a
bright future for open source software (OSS). Recent examples appear to
lend support to this, but there exist many detractors of OSS and
resistance to the transformation it creates. Thus, it is relevant to
take a closer look at the institutionalization of OSS.
Objective: This paper evaluates the extent of OSS institutionalization
in organizations. A practice or innovation is said to be
institutionalized when it is taken-for-granted and its use becomes the
norm.
Method: Drawing on institutional theory, the underlying concept of
organizing vision and the rhetorical theory of diffusion of innovations,
we analyze OSS institutionalization through the observation of the
evolution of the public discourse about OSS and, simultaneously, the
observation of the rate of adoption or diffusion of OSS in
organizations.
Results: OSS has become institutionalized for many back-end applications
and is gradually becoming institutionalized for some front-end
applications, mainly in small and medium enterprises but also in
organizations in the financial, publishing, education, government and
public sectors. Using the rhetorical theory of diffusion of innovations
in tandem with the concept of organizing vision, we provide a deep
understanding of the institutionalization of OSS by showing that it has
not only diffused among organizations, but is also taken-for-granted in
thought and social action. The positive tone and prominence of the
public discourse on OSS have an important role to play in its
institutionalization.
Conclusion: The institutionalization of OSS in organizations cannot be
underestimated by IT and business executives as well as key players in
the IT industry. Future research efforts should be pursued and directed
toward the institutionalization of particular OSS applications in a
variety of industries and geographic regions. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All

Title = {Online division of labour: emergent structures in Open Source Software},
Journal = {SCIENTIFIC REPORTS},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {9},
Month = {SEP 25},
Abstract = {The development Open Source Software fundamentally depends on the
participation and commitment of volunteer developers to progress on a
particular task. Several works have presented strategies to increase the
on-boarding and engagement of new contributors, but little is known on
how these diverse groups of developers self-organise to work together.
To understand this, one must consider that, on one hand, platforms like
GitHub provide a virtually unlimited development framework: any number
of actors can potentially join to contribute in a decentralised,
distributed, remote, and asynchronous manner. On the other, however, it
seems reasonable that some sort of hierarchy and division of labour must
be in place to meet human biological and cognitive limits, and also to
achieve some level of efficiency. These latter features (hierarchy and
division of labour) should translate into detectable structural
arrangements when projects are represented as developer-file bipartite
networks. Thus, in this paper we analyse a set of popular open source
projects from GitHub, placing the accent on three key properties:
nestedness, modularity and in-block nestedness - which typify the
emergence of heterogeneities among contributors, the emergence of
subgroups of developers working on specific subgroups of files, and a
mixture of the two previous, respectively. These analyses show that
indeed projects evolve into internally organised blocks. Furthermore,
the distribution of sizes of such blocks is bounded, connecting our
results to the celebrated Dunbar number both in off-and on-line
environments. Our conclusions create a link between bio-cognitive
constraints, group formation and online working environments, opening up
a rich scenario for future research on (online) work team assembly (e.g.
size, composition, and formation). From a complex network perspective,
our results pave the way for the study of time-resolved datasets, and
the design of suitable models that can mimic the growth and evolution of
OSS projects.},

across the well-known yet difficult question to either implement from

ways allows us to retrospectively; compare the effectiveness of ``from

bases of GNU GCC and Linux for the adaptation approach we gained
valuable experiences with the comprehension and adaptation of large but
sparsely documented code bases. In most cases, the adaptation of
existing software proved to be by-far more effective than implementing
from scratch. Surprisingly, the effort needed to comprehend the existing
voluminous source codes repeatedly proved to be less than expected. In
this paper we discuss our positive and negative experiences and the
various factors influencing success and failure. Albeit collected in an
academic setting, the observations described in this paper might well be
transferable to the maintenance of large-scale commercial environments,

analysis is to assist ecosystem coordinators in governing their
ecosystem. The paper provides an insight on the free open source
software ecosystem of Python. It presents an analysis of the software
ecosystem itself and the different characteristics it has. Based upon
the conducted analysis with the available dataset, the research
concludes that the free open source software ecosystem of Python
contains three ecosystem roles that define its ecosystem. Next to that,
it has grown exponentially from 31 active developers in 2005 to 5,212
December 2012. These results can help set up a strategy for the future
of the Python ecosystem. At this point in time, it is necessary to make
arrangements for the ongoing growth of the Python ecosystem. Failing to
do so can lead to a growing number of unusable features, and eventually
advance to an unhealthy ecosystem.},

Abstract = {The existence of a community plays a central role in the development of
Open Source Software (OSS). Communities are commonly defined as a group
of people sharing common norms or values. The common interest of an OSS
project is obvious: to develop software under an OSS license. When we
look at the rather general definition of a community, we see that there
is a similarity to the term `organization'. This paper draws parallels
between OSS projects and the general elements of an organization and
shows the different elements comprised in an OSS community: people,
organization and assets. Each of those elements is enriched with
examples from different research in the corresponding OSS research
stream and provides a broad overview of the elements of OSS projects.
With the help of this comparison, research on OSS can be made more
focused and aligned with organizational research.},

Abstract = {Software Engineering courses often emphasize teaching methodologies and
concepts in small and controlled environments over teaching, say,
maintenance aspects of full-fledged real software systems. This decision
is partly justified due to the difficulty of bringing to the context of
a classroom a real software project. The widespread presence of open
source projects, however, is contributing to alleviating this problem.
Several instructors have already adopted contributions to open source
projects as part of their evaluation process, and these instructors
reported many benefits, including the improvement on students' technical
and social skills. However, little is known about the students'
perceptions regarding the need to contribute to an open source project
as part of a Software Engineering course. To better understand the
students' challenges, benefits, and attitudes, we conducted 21
semi-structured interviews with students who took these courses in five
different Brazilian universities. We also enriched this data with an
analysis of commits performed in the repositories that students
contributed to. We observed that even though some instructors chose the
open source projects to students to work themselves, some students and
even the open source community participated in the process of choosing
projects and tasks. Students' contributions varied concerning both
complexity (measured by the number of additions, deletions, and edited
files) and diversity (measured regarding the different programming
languages used). Among the benefits, students reported improving their
technical skills and their self-confidence. Finally, some students found
extremely important for instructors' being involved with open source
initiatives (extra-classroom).},

automatize the process so that an ample amount of analysis from various
angles (that range from soft-ware maintenance and software evolution to
the social structure of the underlying organization in charge of the
development) of a huge amount of software projects has been used as case
studies. This work demonstrates that it is possible to build research
methodologies that can be applied to a large quantity of software
projects and that empirical software engineering studies have not to
refer to a limited number of software projects. Although specifically
targeted to libre software development, many of the techniques and
lessons learned can be generally applied to other types of software
environments.},

Abstract = {Free\textbackslash{}Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) environments are
increasingly dubbed as learning environments where practical software
engineering skills can be acquired. Numerous studies have extensively
investigated how knowledge is acquired in these environments through a
collaborative learning model that define a learning process. Such a
learning process, identified either as a result of surveys or by means
of questionnaires, can be depicted through a series of graphical
representations indicating the steps FLOSS community members go through
as they acquire and exchange skills. These representations are referred
to as a-priori learning models. They are Petri net-like workflow nets
(WF-net) that provide a visual representation of the learning process as
it is expected to occur. These models are representations of a learning
framework or paradigm in FLOSS communities. As such, the credibility of
any models is estimated through a process of model verification and
validation. Therefore in this paper, we analyze these models in
comparison with the real behavior captured in FLOSS repositories by
means of conformance verification in process mining. The purpose of our
study is twofold. Firstly, the results of our analysis provide insights
on the possible discrepancies that are observed between the initial
theoretical representations of learning processes and the real behavior
captured in FLOSS event logs, constructed from mailing archives.
Secondly, this comparison helps foster the understanding on how learning
actually takes place in FLOSS environments based on empirical evidence
directly from the data.},

Abstract = {The interest in open access and institutional archives in Norway is
growing. In 2005, several university libraries, university college
libraries and other research libraries met and discussed a joint effort
to create institutional archives. The meeting resulted in the Pepia
project with BIBSYS as a software partner. The project group decided to
use the open source system DSpace as a software platform. A standard
DSpace installation runs on a Tomcat servlet container. BIBSYS does not
use this container, and we therefore needed to configure DSpace to get
it to run successfully on our server. In addition we had some problems
with integrating the DSpace development structure with our integrated
development environment. Further we needed to create a new build process
that effectively could build more than 30 applications from one source
code. These changes were quite time consuming, but they were necessary
so that we could have an efficient work environment. Out of the box
DSpace has many of the functionalities that an institutional archive
requires. In spite of this we needed to alter some of the functionality,
especially the user management system. DSpace is a complex system, but
with the active community we could get the help we needed. BIBSYS Brage,
the result of the Pepia project, was launched as a beta version in
December 2006. We look forward to develop BIBSYS Brage further, and are
confidant that it will become a great system for the consortium.},

effects of OSS projects and the factors that affect the learning

learning effects. Projects were characterized by project type, number
and experience of developers, number of bugs, and bug resolution time.
Our results provided evidence of virtual organizational learning in OSS
development projects and support for several factors as determinants of
performance. Team size was a significant predictor, with mid-sized
project teams functioning best. Teams of three to seven developers
exhibited the highest efficiency over time and teams of eight to 15
produced the lowest mean time for bug resolution. Increasing the
percentage of bugs assigned to specific developers or boosting developer
participation in other OSS projects also improved performance.
Furthermore, project type introduced variability in project team
performance. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

Abstract = {Software quality is one of the main goals of effective programming.
Although it has a quite ambiguous meaning, quality can be measured by
several metrics, which have been appropriately formulated through the
years. Software measurement is a particularly important procedure, as it
provides meaningful information about the software artifact. This
procedure is even more emerging when we refer to open source software,
where the need for shared knowledge is crucial for the maintenance and
evolution of the code. A paradigm of open source project where code
quality is especially important is the scientific language R. This paper
aims to perform measurements on the R statistical open source software,
examine the relationships among the observed metrics and special
attributes of the R software and search for certain characteristics that
define its behavior and structure. For this purpose, a random sample of
508 R packages has been downloaded from the CRAN repository of R and has
been measured, using the SourceMonitor metrics tool. The resulted
measurements, along with a significant number of specific attributes of
the R packages, were examined and analyzed, leading to interesting
conclusions such as the validity of a power law distribution regarding
the majority of the sample's metrics and the absence of specific
patterns due to the interdependencies among packages. Finally, the
effects of the number of developers and the number of dependencies are
investigated, in order to understand their impact on the metrics of the
sample packages.},

Abstract = {The majority of contributions to community open source software (OSS)
projects are made by practitioners acting on behalf of companies and
other organisations. Previous research has addressed the motivations of
both individuals and companies to engage with OSS projects. However,
limited research has been undertaken that examines and explains the
practical mechanisms or work practices used by companies and their
developers to pursue their commercial and technical objectives when
engaging with OSS projects. This research investigates the variety of
work practices used in public communication channels by company
contributors to engage with and contribute to eight community OSS
projects. Through interviews with contributors to the eight projects we
draw on their experiences and insights to explore the motivations to use
particular methods of contribution. We find that companies utilise work
practices for contributing to community projects which are congruent
with the circumstances and their capabilities that support their short-
and long-term needs. We also find that companies contribute to community
OSS projects in ways that may not always be apparent from public
sources, such as employing core project developers, making donations,
and joining project steering committees in order to advance strategic
interests. The factors influencing contributor work practices can be
complex and are often dynamic arising from considerations such as
company and project structure, as well as technical concerns and
commercial strategies. The business context in which software created by
the OSS project is deployed is also found to influence contributor work
practices.},

Abstract = {Increasingly open source (OS) software development is organized in a way
similar to how a corporation would organize development. This paper
examines this corporatizing effect by studying the relationship between
peer-oriented social structures and goal-oriented technical structures
in the Plone community. Social structures are said to exhibit
assortative mixing, a like attract like characteristic whereas technical
structures exhibits an opposite effect of disassortative mixing. Our
first finding suggests that the patterns of collaborative contributions
and interdependences among software modules exhibit the characteristic
of disassortative mixing. Specifically, Plone developers were more
likely to contribute to modules that already have a high concentration
of contributions, which in turn lead to an increase in module reuse over
time. This finding contributes to the debate of whether social systems
are strictly assortative, and technological systems strictly
disassortative (Newman, 2002). Our second contribution concerns the
impact of corporatizing OSS projects, suggesting that corporatizing OS
development had the effect of weakening the social organizing among
developers, and shifted the patterns of contributions to adhere with the
technical requirements.},

Abstract = {Comprehension of Open Source Software (OSS) projects is traditionally
driven by the plethora of data produced and maintained by these
projects. The data, in one hand, encapsulates the tacit knowledge on the
evolution of the software itself. And, on the other hand, provides the
history of communication and collaboration of the community. Acquisition
and analysis of such data has been mostly manual or semi-automated and
error-prone, mainly due to unstructured and substandard data
representation. This increases the validity threat of the reported
results and makes it incomparable across the studies. With the
advancement of data management tools and technologies, many third party
data providers are putting serious effort to provide OSS project's data
in a standard and platform independent format. In this paper, we propose
a framework to fully automate the analysis and visualization of OSS
evolution data through the use of existing data services. As a proof of
concept we implemented a tool named POMAZ. We demonstrate the
applicability of the tool in the context of two related open source
projects FFmpeg and GStreamer.},

Abstract = {Open source software foundations and communities often want to know the
impact of their software. This impact can be understood in a variety of
ways and in this paper we explore impact through the interdependencies
of open source software. In this, open source software is dependent on
components created upstream and open source software is used in
components downstream impact within an open source supply chain. This
paper proposes an index (called the V-index) through which impact of an
open source software, as used in downstream components, can be measured.
This index is developed using the open database libraires.io, which
provides the dependencies of open source software distributed through

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) development is a community-oriented,
network-centric approach to building complex software systems. OSS
projects are typically organized as edge organizations lacking an
explicit management regime to control and coordinate decentralized
project work. However, a growing number of OSS projects are developing,
delivering, and supporting large-scale software systems, displacing
proprietary software alternatives. Recent empirical studies of OSS
projects reveal that OSS developers often self-organize into
organizational forms we characterize as evolving socio-technical
interaction networks (STINs). STINs emerge in ways that effectively
control semi-autonomous OSS developers and coordinate project
activities, producing reliable and adaptive software systems. In this
paper, we examine how practices and processes enable and govern OSS
projects when coalesced and configured as contingent, socio-technical
interaction networks. We draw on data sources and results from two
ongoing case studies of governance activities and elements in a large
OSS project.},

in terms of their similarities as well as their differences. Monthly
data were extracted from the bug tracking systems in order to achieve a
longitudinal view of the interaction pattern of each project. Social

The finding suggests that the interaction pattern of OSS projects
evolves from a single hub at the beginning to a corel periphery model as
the projects move forward.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) is widely spread in industry, research, and
government. OSS represents an effective development model because it
harnesses the decentralized efforts of many developers in a way that
scales. As OSS developers work independently on interdependent modules,
they create a larger cohesive whole in the form of an ecosystem, leaving
traces of their contributions and collaborations. Data harvested from
these traces enable the study of large-scale decentralized collaborative
work. We present curated data on the activity of tens of thousands of
developers in the Rust ecosystem and the evolving dependencies between
their libraries. The data covers eight years of developer contributions
to Rust libraries and can be used to reconstruct the ecosystem's
development history, such as growing developer collaboration networks or
dependency networks. These are complemented by data on downloads and
popularity, tracking dynamics of use, visibility, and success over time.
Altogether the data give a comprehensive view of several dimensions of
the ecosystem.},

Abstract = {Technical debt represents deficiencies in software design or
implementation often caused by prioritizing feature development over
fixing existing issues. Like its financial counterpart, technical debt
comprises a principal and an interest. Not addressing it in time leads
to development crises, where focus and resources must be shifted to
address existing issues. Existing software tools allow measuring the
level of debt and pinpointing its sources, which can help practitioners
control it. In the present paper we aim to investigate the prevalence,
characteristics, and evolution of technical debt in several open-source
applications. We used SonarQube to study 112 application versions that
covered more than 15 years of development for each application. We
studied the way debt characteristics and source code distribution
evolved over the target applications' lifecycles. We addressed concerns
regarding the accuracy of the analysis and illustrated some of the
limitations of existing tools. We observed that a small number of issue
types were responsible for most of the debt. We found that each
application had its own technical debt particularities. As future work,
we aim to expand our selection of analysis tools, leverage open data
sets, and extend our investigation to other systems and types of
software.},

the integrative model of trust (IMoT), hypotheses regarding interactions
between trust and community citizenship behaviors (CCBs - as OSSPC
participating activities) are developed. Both a qualitative study and a
quantitative study are conducted, and data analysis confirms both the
Trust -> CCBs and the CCBs -> Trust hypotheses along the time dimension,
revealing CCBs-Trust interactions as a mechanism for maintaining
sustained community participation. Further, while it is found that CCBs
have an accumulative overall positive impact on trust, alternating
positive and negative impacts of CCBs on trust over time are identified.
In addition, a delayed impact is also identified in the Trust -> CCBs
relationship. These findings are explained from several theoretical
perspectives, which provide directions for future research and help
community management to maintain sustained participation.},

vital role in creating an ecosystem that enables the creation and growth

believe that the sustainability of the platform crucially depends on
financial incentives. While platforms can obtain these incentives
through multiple means, in this paper we focus on one form of financial
incentives-voluntary monetary donations by open source community
members. We report findings from two empirical studies that examine
factors that impact donations. Study I investigates the factors that
cause some community members to donate and not others. We find that the
decision to donate is impacted by relational commitment with open source
software platform, donation to projects and accepting donations from
others. Study 2 examines what drives the level of donation. We find that
the length of association with the platform and relational commitment
affects donation levels. Published by Elsevier B.V.},

Abstract = {Today many kinds of applications requires data containing actual

distributed 3D data by open source Web-GIS software - is part of the
Italian ``PRIN 2007{''}{*} research project, aimed to build urban and
suburban 3D models, and to interact with them using open source software
only.
Particularly free and open source software, used for the experimentation
here shown, are Blender and PostGIS; the first one has been used to
build and structure three-dimensional data, the second one for data
allocation. These software interact using scripts, written in Python
language.
Buildings have been modeled upon the GIANT3D model (Geographical
Interoperable Advanced Numerical Topological 3-Dimensional Model)
developed in the research ``PRIN 2004{''}, regarding ``Evolved structure
of numerical cartography for Gis and Web-GIS{''}.
Python scripts, activated by Blender, allow to allocate data into a
spatial database implemented through PostgreSQL and PostGis, that could
be a remote database somewhere on the net; all geometrical and
topological information, implemented in the 3D model, are so transferred
in PostGIS. These information can be retrieved by Blender using other
Python scripts, so Blender fully interacts with 3D data allocated in
PostGIS. These data can be also accessed by many other clients, both
directly using a database client, as using other protocols (like HTTP on
the internet). Next step is to build an open source viewer, or a plugin
for internet browsers, that allows client to visualize, explore and
inquiry 3D model, retrieving data from database.},

composed together to build reports that assess the quality of specific
features of the software.

Abstract = {Project management traditionally has a strong focus on human reporting
that fits well a tightly coupled form of organization to ensure the
quality of project reporting. For loosely coupled forms of organization,
such as open source systems (OSS) development projects, there are very
few approaches to ensure the quality of project reporting; a promising
approach can be to augment human reporting with data analysis based on
the communication and state changes in an OSS project. In this paper we
propose a concept and an initial measurement approach for event-based
monitoring of OSS projects to better understand the actual benefit of
tool-supported gathering, correlating and analyzing processes event data
from the OSS community as a supplement for traditional software project
monitoring data collection. We report on an empirical feasibility study
investigating success and risk indicators of five OSS projects listed in

this characteristic is being considered crucial by the proponents of
open source for this type of software development. We have empirically
assessed the relationship between the size of the application components
and the delivered quality measured through user satisfaction. We have
determined that, up to a certain extent, the average component size of
an application is negatively related to the user satisfaction for this
application.},

Abstract = {In today's world, the heart of modern technology is software. In order

object-oriented metrics using different versions of open source

in a class earlier in the software life cycle which would result in
better effort allocation, more rigorous testing and easier maintenance
of any software. Earlier, researchers have used various techniques such
as statistical methods for the prediction of change-prone classes. In
this article, some new metrics such as execution time, frequency, run
time information, popularity and class dependency are proposed which can
help in prediction of change prone classes. For evaluating the
performance of the prediction model, the authors used Sensitivity,
Specificity, and ROC Curve. Higher values of AUC indicate the prediction
model gives significant accurate results. The proposed metrics
contribute to the accurate prediction of change-prone classes.},

Developing these resources can be expensive and time consuming. Even

to adopt, adapt and combine for use in new contexts. We focus on the
promise of open, publically accessible software and data as well as
crowdsourcing techniques to develop robust energy analysis tools that
can deliver crucial, policy-relevant insight, particularly in developing
countries, where planning resources are highly constrained-and the need
to adapt these resources and methods to the local context is high. We
survey existing research, which argues that these techniques can produce
high-quality results, and also explore the potential role that linked,

Abstract = {A device-independent software package, named iBEX, is developed to
accelerate the research and development efforts for X-ray imaging setups
such as chest radiography, linear and multidirectional tomography, and
dental and skeletal radiography. Its extension mechanism makes the
software adaptable for a wide range of digital X-ray imaging hardware
combinations and provides capabilities for researchers to develop image
processing plug-ins. Independent of the X-ray sensor technology, iBEX
could integrate with heterogeneous communication channels of digital
detectors. iBEX is a freeware option for preclinical and early clinical
testing of radiography devices. It provides tools to calibrate the
device, integrate to health information infrastructure, acquire image,
store studies on local storage, and send them to Picture Archiving and
Communication System (PACS). iBEX is a unique open-source project
bringing X-ray imaging devices' software into the scope of the
open-source community to reduce the X-ray scanners' research effort,
potentially increase the image quality, and cut down the production and
testing costs of radiography devices.},

Abstract = {Software reuse is critical in open source based software development,
but it is very difficult to find a excellent reusable from large amount
of similar candidate software in communities. Currently, lots of
research works evaluate software by analyzing artifacts created by
software developers, few of them reveals the power of feedbacks
generated by software users, which we believe very valuable for software
ranking. In this paper, we connect open source software from different
communities with user feedbacks in StackOverflow, and explore the
correlation between the popularity of posts and time. Finally we rank
open source software through using information of connected posts in
StackOverflow and compare our ranking result with several influential
ranking results like DB-Engines and personal blogs. The comparison
results show that our approach can amazingly give similar ranking
results to that given by experienced professionals or commercial ranking
systems.},

Abstract = {Enterprise informatization experiences three phases information islet
modeling, intranet modeling and integrated enterprise modeling. The
traditional market failure argument suggests that innovation is
characterized by high investment and low copy cost, and firms have
difficulty in internalizing the fruits of their innovative effort. Thus,
technology firms are seeking more patents, expanding their scope and
overhauling their business models around intellectual property. Yet
paradoxically, with the progress and development of information
technology, open source software (OSS) plays an important role in
expanding enterprise informatization. For example, Linux is developed
quickly by this open way. Some firms have found the ways of making money
by opening up their treasure-chest of innovation and sharing it with
others. The rise of open-source software is one example. In this
article, the author introduces a model of OSS based on its network
effects to understand how the enterprises decide their activities in
this open market competition. This article describes the inherent
reasons of open source movement from the view of the oligopoly
structure. At the same time, this article analyses the effect of leader
enterprise and follower enterprise on market structure and the different
activities of these enterprises after the source has been opened.
Finally, we make suggestions that companies at the leading edge are
often in such a strong position that they do need the support of
down-streams companies to broaden their technologies successfully and to
decrease their risks in order to leverage the value of the technological
portfolio. On the other hand, this article suggests that follower
enterprises have incentive to take part in the development of
open-source software only when the market has grown up.},

organizations in order to understand the trends and patterns in

widely, in this study the authors examine the adoption of open source
software in the public sector. As such, the paper uses content analysis
to review published articles on open source software in the public
sector or government organizations between 2003 and 2012 across the
regions (Africa, America, Asia, and Europe). The results suggest that
that there is no-one-size-fit-all to open source software adoption
benefits to the public sector in different regions. The results also
show that technical benefits, vendor independence and customization are
considered to be important for open source software adoption in public
sector organizations. While this suggests that public sector
organizations perceive open source software as one step towards vendor
independence, customization is considered a very important benefit of
open source software adoption in Asia than is the case in America.},

enterprises rather than volunteers. This can be used to address known
generalizability concerns, and, also, to perform research on open source
business software development. Based on the premise that an enterprise's
employees are likely to contribute to a project developed by their
organization using the email account provided by it, we mine domain
names associated with enterprises from open data sources as well as
through white- and blacklisting, and use them through three heuristics
to identify 17 264 enterprise GitHub projects. We provide these as a
dataset detailing their provenance and properties. A manual evaluation
of a dataset sample shows an identification accuracy of 89\%. Through an
exploratory data analysis we found that projects are staffed by a
plurality of enterprise insiders, who appear to be pulling more than
their weight, and that in a small percentage of relatively large
projects development happens exclusively through enterprise insiders.},

Abstract = {Algorithm visualizations are widely viewed as having the potential for
major impact on computer science education, but their quality is highly
variable. We report on the software development practices used by
creators of algorithm visualizations, based on data that can be inferred
from a catalog of over 600 algorithm visualizations. Since nearly all
are free for use and many provide source code, they might be construed
as being open source software. Yet many AV developers do not appear to
have used open source best practices. We discuss how such development
practices might be employed by the algorithm visualization community,
and how they might lead to improved algorithm visualizations in the
future. We conclude with a discussion of OpenDSA, an open-source project
that builds on earlier progress in the field of algorithm visualization
and hopes to use open-source procedures to gain users and contributors.

Abstract = {Software systems represent one of the most complex man-made artifacts.
Understanding the structure of software systems can provide useful
insights into software engineering efforts and can potentially help the
development of complex system models applicable to other domains. In
this paper, we analyze one of the most popular open-source Linux meta
packages/distributions called the Gentoo Linux. In our analysis, we
model software packages as nodes and dependencies among them as edges.
Our empirical results show that the resulting Gentoo network cannot be
easily explained by existing complex network models. This in turn
motivates our research in developing two new network growth models in
which a new node is connected to an old node with the probability that
depends not only on the degree but also on the ``age{''} of the old
node. Through computational and empirical studies, we demonstrate that
our models have better explanatory power than the existing ones. In an
effort to further explore the properties of these new models, we also
present some related analytical results. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All

Abstract = {Research confirms that commercial OSS exists in many different ways
according to its revenue model, type of license, development style,
number of participating firms, number of participating volunteers or
governance mode. In order to differentiate between an increasing variety
of commercialization approaches, one may distinguish between projects
with one dominating company, so called single vendor projects and those
where more than one company is active, so called multi vendor projects.
Furthermore, in order to structure different approaches, a project's
history is equally of importance in terms of whether a project was
initiated by a firm or a community. In this paper, we therefore analyze
and compare single and multi vendor as well as firm initiated and
community initiated OSS projects with regard to technical contribution
of voluntary and paid project members. Based on a dataset build upon
Eclipse projects we expose, that the number of paid members is
significantly higher in firm initiated and multi vendor projects.},

Abstract = {Objective of the study: The article analyzes the case of GNOME, one of
the most popular Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects,
started in 1997. The concept of peer governance describes the
interaction and convergence of companies, foundations, voluntary users
and professionals in its development.
Methodology/approach: The research is based on the documentary method
and an organizational history approach. For this, primary and secondary
digital sources were collected: institutional and FLOSS sites, blogs,
community lists, documents and platforms.
Originality/Relevance: The work allows progress, from a sociotechnical
perspective, in understanding FLOSS developments and the coevolution of
their technical components and community dynamics.
Main results: Three levels of governance are identified: 1. the software
itself; 2. the community; 3. the ecosystem. Development cycles;
community participation and organization; actors and business models,
definitions and controversies, are analyzed. GNOME's trajectory is
marked by the confluence of interests and coopetition between corporate
actors and the FLOSS ecosystem. The life cycle shows a constant
activity, which implies redefinition of its components, technological
infrastructure and leadership. It is not exempt from controversies and
bifurcations, similar to those evidenced in projects of this type.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: It contributes to the concept
of peer governance and its usefulness for case analysis. Reflection on
data sources and research resources on the Internet is promoted.
Social/managerial contributions: It contributes to the understanding of
new forms of management and decision-making in technological development
projects.},

Abstract = {Most studies of software evolution have been performed on systems
developed within a single company using traditional management
techniques. With the widespread availability of several large software
systems that have been developed using an ``open source{''} development
approach, we now have a chance to examine these systems in detail, and
see if their evolutionary narratives are significantly different from
commercially developed systems. This paper summarizes our preliminary
investigations into the evolution of the best known open source system:
the Linux operating system kernel. Because Linux is large (over two
million lines of code in the most recent version) and because its
development model is not as tightly planned and managed as most
industrial software processes, we had expected to find that Linux was
growing more slowly as it got bigger and more complex. Instead, we have
found that Linux has been growing at a super-linear rate for several
years. In this paper; we explore the evolution of the Linux kernel both
at the system level and within the major subsystems, and we discuss why
we think Linux continues to exhibit such strong growth.},

Abstract = {Introduction. Virtual communities play an important role in innovation.
The paper focuses on the particular form of collective action in virtual
communities underlying as Open Source software development projects.
Method. Building on resource mobilization theory and private-collective
innovation, we propose a theory of collective action in innovative
virtual communities. We identify three communal resources ( reputation,
control over technology and learning opportunities) that appear as a
byproduct while developing open source software.
Analysis. Constructs are derived from exiting literature. Empirical data
from Freenet, an open source software project for peer-to-peer software,
illustrates both the levels of involvement and the communal resources.
Results \&
conclusions. Communal resources are able to solve the collective action
dilemma for virtual communities. We show that they increase in value for
individuals along with their involvement in the community.},

Abstract = {This papers sheds light on the puzzling fact that even though open
source software (OSS) is a public good, it is developed for free by
highly qualified, young, motivated individuals, and evolves at a rapid
pace. We show that when OSS development is understood as the private
provision of a public good, these features emerge quite naturally. We
adapt a dynamic private-provision-of-public-goods model to reflect key
aspects of the OSS phenomenon, such as play value or homo ludens payoff,
user-programmers' and gift culture benefits. Such intrinsic motives
feature extensively in the wider OSS literature and contribute new
insights to the economic analysis.},

Abstract = {Opportunity cost is a key concept in economics to express the value one
misses out on when choosing one alternative over another. This concept
is used to explain rational decision making in a scenario where multiple
mutually exclusive alternative choices can be made. In this paper, we
explore this concept in the realm of open-source software. We look at
the different ways for measuring the cost and these can be used to
support decisions involving open-source software. We review literature
on opportunity cost use in decision support in software development
process. We explain how the opportunity cost analysis in the realm of
open-source software can be used for supporting architectural decisions
within software projects. We demonstrate that different measures of
costs can be used to mitigate problems (and maintenance complexity)
arising from the use of open source software, allowing for better
planning of both closed-source commercial and open-source community
projects alike.},

Abstract = {The methods for electrophysiology in neuroscience have evolved
tremendously over the recent years with a growing emphasis on
dense-array signal recordings. Such increased complexity and augmented
wealth in the volume of data recorded, have not been accompanied by
efforts to streamline and facilitate access to processing methods, which
too are susceptible to grow in sophistication. Moreover, unsuccessful
attempts to reproduce peer-reviewed publications indicate a problem of
transparency in science. This growing problem could be tackled by
unrestricted access to methods that promote research transparency and
data sharing, ensuring the reproducibility of published results. Here,
we provide a free, extensive, open-source software that provides
data-analysis, data-management and multi-modality integration solutions
for invasive neurophysiology. Users can perform their entire analysis
through a user-friendly environment without the need of programming
skills, in a tractable (logged) way. This work contributes to
open-science, analysis standardization, transparency and reproducibility

Abstract = {Background: Over the last few years a number of methods have been
proposed for the phenotype simulation of microorganisms under different
environmental and genetic conditions. These have been used as the basis
to support the discovery of successful genetic modifications of the
microbial metabolism to address industrial goals. However, the use of
these methods has been restricted to bioinformaticians or other expert
researchers. The main aim of this work is, therefore, to provide a
user-friendly computational tool for Metabolic Engineering applications.
Results: OptFlux is an open-source and modular software aimed at being
the reference computational application in the field. It is the first
tool to incorporate strain optimization tasks, i.e., the identification
of Metabolic Engineering targets, using Evolutionary
Algorithms/Simulated Annealing metaheuristics or the previously proposed
OptKnock algorithm. It also allows the use of stoichiometric metabolic
models for (i) phenotype simulation of both wild-type and mutant
organisms, using the methods of Flux Balance Analysis, Minimization of
Metabolic Adjustment or Regulatory on/off Minimization of Metabolic flux
changes, (ii) Metabolic Flux Analysis, computing the admissible flux
space given a set of measured fluxes, and (iii) pathway analysis through
the calculation of Elementary Flux Modes.
OptFlux also contemplates several methods for model simplification and
other pre-processing operations aimed at reducing the search space for
optimization algorithms.
The software supports importing/exporting to several flat file formats
and it is compatible with the SBML standard. OptFlux has a visualization
module that allows the analysis of the model structure that is
compatible with the layout information of Cell Designer, allowing the
superimposition of simulation results with the model graph.
Conclusions: The OptFlux software is freely available, together with
documentation and other resources, thus bridging the gap from research
in strain optimization algorithms and the final users. It is a valuable
platform for researchers in the field that have available a number of
useful tools. Its open-source nature invites contributions by all those
interested in making their methods available for the community.
Given its plug-in based architecture it can be extended with new
functionalities. Currently, several plug-ins are being developed,
including network topology analysis tools and the integration with
Boolean network based regulatory models.},

An Empirical Study of Project Recommendation Systems},
Journal = {APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {11},
Number = {3},
Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {Software collaboration platforms where millions of developers from
diverse locations can contribute to the common open source projects have
recently become popular. On these platforms, various information is
obtained from developer activities that can then be used as developer
metrics to solve a variety of challenges. In this study, we proposed new
developer metrics extracted from the issue, commit, and pull request
activities of developers on GitHub. We created developer metrics from
the individual activities and combined certain activities according to
some common traits. To evaluate these metrics, we created an item-based
project recommendation system. In order to validate this system, we
calculated the similarity score using two methods and assessed top-n hit
scores using two different approaches. The results for all scores with
these methods indicated that the most successful metrics were
binary\_issue\_related, issue\_commented, binary\_pr\_related, and
issue\_opened. To verify our results, we compared our metrics with
another metric generated from a very similar study and found that most
of our metrics gave better scores that metric. In conclusion, the issue
feature is more crucial for GitHub compared with other features.
Moreover, commenting activity in projects can be equally as valuable as
code contributions. The most of binary metrics that were generated,
regardless of the number of activities, also showed remarkable results.
In this context, we presented improvable and noteworthy developer
metrics that can be used for a wide range of open-source software
development challenges, such as user characterization, project
recommendation, and code review assignment.},

Open source is well-known for its potential to frame software ecosystems
with its networking tendency and provision for further customization
with access to software source code. Open source is increasingly
becoming the choice for health information system implementations in low
resource settings.
This longitudinal case study was designed to study the research
question, how a software ecosystem is being built around an open source
health information system implementation. Empirically the study was
positioned in a multi-sector initiative identifying and support
nutritionally at-risk households to eliminating malnutrition. The
discussion reveals how new dependencies between health and non-health

Title = {Adoption of free/libre open source software in public organizations:
factors of impact},
Journal = {INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY \& PEOPLE},
Year = {2012},
Volume = {25},
Number = {2},
Pages = {156-187},
Abstract = {Purpose - In this paper the authors aim to investigate the importance of
factors for the adoption of free/libre open source software (FLOSS) in
the public sector. They seek to evaluate how different factors impact
during the initiation and implementation phases of the adoption process.
Design/methodology/approach - The authors base the methodological
approach on two exploratory case studies with a contrasting result
logic. They build a multi-level framework grounded both on literature
review, and feedback from stakeholders. They then apply the framework to
two case studies to better frame the findings. They consider phases of
adoption (initiation, implementation) and the levels of adoption
(technological, organizational, environmental, individual).
Findings - In the case studies, the authors found the importance of a
strong and decision-centric management board to give the impulse for the
initiation phase of the process. As perceived by the stakeholders, a
strong governmental support is of paramount importance to increase the
adoption at the public level, although in the case studies examined the
initiation stage started from the impulse of a championing management.
Both case studies passed the initiation phase successfully. Continuous
employees' training, organizational objectives consensus, and business
process reengineering have been found important for the implementation
phase. In the case study in which these factors were not in place, the
implementation phase of adoption failed. Environmental factors -
although relevant for the initiation of the adoption process - are less
significant during the actual implementation of the adoption process, as
the contrasting result logic from the case studies shows.
Research limitations/implications - The study refers to two public
organizations in a specific environmental setting. No causality among
factors has been inferred. Quantitative objective data have been used to
determine the success of adoption, for qualitative data multiple sources
have been used when possible to limit threats to validity.
Practical implications - The framework can be used by stakeholders in
public organizations to better frame their adoption strategies and to
compare results across institutions. Lessons learnt from the case
studies can be useful to drive future adoptions of FLOSS.
Originality/value - The framework combines phases of adoption and levels
making it possible to frame the analysis of the case studies. It has
been operationalized with a set of metrics, and with a protocol for the
case studies to increase replicability value.},

Abstract = {Design and evolution of modern information systems is influenced by many
factors: technical, organizational, social. This is especially true for
open source software systems (OSSS), when many developers from different
backgrounds interact, share their ideas and contribute towards the
development and improvement of a software product. The evolution of an
OSSS is a continuous process of source code development, adaptation,
improvement and maintenance. Studying changes to the various
characteristics of source code can help us understand the evolution of a
software system. In this paper, the software evolution process is
analyzed using a proposed Evolution curve (E-curve) method, which is an
implementation language independent method based on information
theoretic metrics. The method allows identifying major evolution stages
of an analyzed software system. The application of E-curves is
illustrated for eMule, 7zip, and Grip OSSS.},

Title = {Knowledge sharing in open source software communities: motivations and
management},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT},
Year = {2015},
Volume = {19},
Number = {4},
Pages = {791-813},
Abstract = {Purpose - This paper aims to add to the understanding of knowledge
sharing in online communities through an investigation of the
relationship between individual participant's motivations and management
in open source software (OSS) communities. Drawing on a review of
literature concerning knowledge sharing in organisations, the factors
that motivate participants to share their knowledge in OSS communities,
and the management of such communities, it is hypothesised that the
quality of management influences the extent to which the motivations of
members actually result in knowledge sharing.
Design/methodology/approach - To test the hypothesis, quantitative data
were collected through an online questionnaire survey of OSS web
developers with the aim of gathering respondents' opinions concerning
knowledge sharing, motivations to share knowledge and satisfaction with
the management of OSS projects. Factor analysis, descriptive analysis,
correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to explore the
survey data.
Findings - The analysis of the data reveals that the individual
participant's satisfaction with the management of an OSS project is an
important factor influencing the extent of their personal contribution
to a community.
Originality/value - Little attention has been devoted to understanding
the impact of management in OSS communities. Focused on OSS developers
specialising in web development, the findings of this paper offer an
important original contribution to understanding the connections between
individual members' satisfaction with management and their motivations
to contribute to an OSS project. The findings reveal that motivations to
share knowledge in online communities are influenced by the quality of
management. Consequently, the findings suggest that appropriate
management can enhance knowledge sharing in OSS projects and online
communities, and organisations more generally.},

Abstract = {The development of software through an open source approach has gained
popularity in the information technology (IT) community. In the
scientific community, open source software coupled with open
architecture is seen as an efficient method of promoting open science.
Furthermore US government agencies are promoting an open source approach
as they place software developed by investigators in the public domain
to foster research and expedite technology transfer to the commercial
sector. Open source, however, faces a number of challenges, especially
in the biomedical community. Recently, a workshop was organized to
review the role of open source in the area of healthcare informatics.
The IT capabilities in healthcare are maturing rapidly for many types of
patient care settings yet there is a significant gap in the ability to
share biomedical data in multi-center applications and research. A new
consortium (Image Management Toolkit consortium: IMTK) is being launched
to promote the development of software tools for information and image
exchanges in the multi-center environment using an open source/open
architecture approach.},

Month = {APR},
Abstract = {This paper explores how software firms can apply different types of
governance approaches to open source software development projects
(OSSDPs) and draws on control theory to propose that firms may influence
OSSDPs by employing either leadership or resource deployment control. A
matrix differentiating four types of OSSDPs: firm- versus
community-initiated projects and one participating firm (single-vendor
projects) versus many firms (multivendor projects), and accompanying
hypotheses regarding a firm's participation for each type are developed.
Using data from 83 Eclipse projects to test the hypotheses, findings
indicate that (1) firms more actively employ both leadership and
resource deployment in firm-initiated projects than in
community-initiated ones and (2) firms are more likely to use resource
deployment control over leadership control in multivendor projects. Key
theoretical and managerial implications are discussed. (C) 2015 Elsevier

Abstract = {the research of developers' contribution is an important part of the
software evolution area. It allows project owners to find potential
long-term contributors earlier and helps the newcomers to improve their
behaviors. In this paper, we examined the contribution characteristics
of developers in open source environment based on visual analysis, and
presented approaches from three aspects-influencing factors, time
characteristics and region characteristics. Our analysis used data from
github and revealed some regular patterns. We found that the code which
newcomers started to contribute with more people engaged in would lead
to less contribution in some degree. We also found that there's a
relation between developers' early and later period contribution. In
addition, developers from different regions were more likely to have
dominant relationship. Our findings may provide some support for future
research in the area of software evolution.},

Abstract = {Software generally used by individuals and organizations is proprietary
software. This kind of software, is closed, available at a cost, and its
copyright is owned by the organization that develops it. This means that
the end user does not have access to source code, cannot make changes to
the software to suit individual needs, and the software cannot be
redistributed. Open source software, on the other hand, allows its user
access to source code, thereby allowing them to customize the software
according to their needs and integrate it with existing software
infrastructure: and, if need be, redistribute it. Open source software,
therefore, has potential benefits for government agencies in terms of
electronic service provision to general public. However, there are many,
issues around open source software uptake in government agencies, and if
the adoption of OSS is to be encouraged then these issues have to be
addressed. This paper presents an account of these issues as identified
by the government agencies from Australia an New Zealand.},

Geotagged photos were obtained using smart phones, and 360-degree
panoramas were acquired using a robotic camera system. These images were
then uploaded to a web-based GIS (WebGIS) developed using
Arches-Heritage Inventory Package (HIP), an open-source geospatial
software system for cultural heritage inventory and management. By
providing various tools for resources annotation, data exploration,
mapping, geovisualization, and spatial analysis, the WebGIS not only
serves as a platform for heritage resources database management, but
also empowers the community residents to acquire, share, interpret, and
analyze the data. The results show that this type of collaborative
working model between researcher and community can promote public
awareness of the importance of heritage conservation and achieve the
research goal more effectively and efficiently.},

leaders from over 20 OSS firms and organisations through early 2006, we
found that three factors were consistently important in defining a
vendor's adoption of a given business model: software licence choice,
which takes into account intellectual property ownership; management of
developer communities; and the unique features of the markets and
product categories in which the vendor participates. Considering these
factors, we characterise seven business models. One striking finding is
that it is rare to find business-model purity. The majority of firms in
our sample are pursuing either blended business models or multiple
models simultaneously.},

Abstract = {Python for Population Genomics (PyPop) is a software package that
processes genotype and allele data and performs large-scale population
genetic analyses on highly polymorphic multi-locus genotype data. In
particular, PyPop tests data conformity to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
expectations, performs Ewens-Watterson tests for selection, estimates
haplotype frequencies, measures linkage disequilibrium, and tests
significance. Standardized means of performing these tests is key for
contemporary studies of evolutionary biology and population genetics,
and these tests are central to genetic studies of disease association as
well. Here, we present PyPop 1.0.0, a new major release of the package,
which implements new features using the more robust infrastructure of
GitHub, and is distributed via the industry-standard Python Package
Index. New features include implementation of the asymmetric linkage
disequilibrium measures and, of particular interest to the
immunogenetics research communities, support for modern nomenclature,
including colon-delimited allele names, and improvements to
meta-analysis features for aggregating outputs for multiple
populations.Code available at: https://zenodo.org/records/10080668 and

evolution, with very different volumes of updates to the schema. To the
best of our knowledge, this is the first study of this kind in the area
of schema evolution, both in terms of presenting profiles of how
schemata evolve, and, in terms of the dataset magnitude and the

Abstract = {This paper is about a twofold proposal submitted to the scrutiny of the
OSS scientific community. It is first argued that OSS should be
considered a means to establish an industry regulation. The motivation
of this first proposal is the need for harmonization of the supply chain
in certain industrial sectors. The Air Traffic Management industry (ATM)
is the only case considered in this paper. However, it is assumed that
the regulatory advantage of OSS is not specific to that industry. The
second proposal is about how to establish such a regulation through OSS.
It is argued that the legal ownership of the OSS product should be
assigned to a public organization, preferably to an organization that
would be dedicated to monitor and promote the evolution of that product.
The motivation for these proposals is based on the analysis of possible
scenarios of OSS ownership in the case of ATM. Perspectives concerning
the preliminary implementation of the proposals are introduced.},

software system's ability to easily accommodate changes) is addressed
during development and evolution of open source software. The primary
studies for this review were identified based on a pre-defined search
strategy and a multi-step selection process. Based on their research
topics, we have identified four main categories of themes: software
trends and patterns, evolution process support, evolvability
characteristics addressed in OSS evolution, and examining OSS at
software architecture level. A comprehensive overview and synthesis of
these categories and related studies is presented as well.},

professionals who have decided to participate in the process. The
presence of effective leaders who both steer the development and
motivate the developers is crucial to ensure a successful product. Using
path-goal theory and built on leadership and motivation theories, we
proposed and tested a model that can be used to assess the relationship
between an OSS project leader's leadership style and a developer's
motivation to contribute to the software development. We specifically
decomposed the leadership and motivation construct to understand the
hidden mechanisms by which leadership impacts motivation. A set of
survey data collected from 118 OSS developers on Sourceforge.net was
used to test our hypotheses. Our results indicate that leaders'
transformational leadership is positively related to developers'
intrinsic motivation and that leaders' active management style is
positively related to the developers' extrinsic motivation. (C) 2012

Abstract = {Software evolution is the process of developing, maintaining, and
updating software systems. It is known that the software systems tend to
increase their complexity and size over their evolution to meet the
demands required by the users. Due to this fact, researchers have
increasingly carried out studies on software evolution to understand the
systems' evolution pattern and propose techniques to overcome inherent
problems in software evolution. Many of these works collect data but do
not make them publicly available. Many datasets on software evolution
are outdated, and/or are small, and some of them do not provide time
series from software metrics. We propose an extensive software evolution
dataset with temporal information about open-source Java systems. To
build this dataset, we proposed a methodology of four steps: selecting
the systems using a criterion, extracting and measuring their releases,
and generating their time series. Our dataset contains time series of 46
software metrics extracted from 46 open-source Java systems, and we make
it publicly available.},

Abstract = {We draw on the concept of episodic volunteering (EV) from the general
volunteering literature to identify practices for managing EV in
free/libre/open source software (FLOSS) communities. Infrequent but
ongoing participation is widespread, but the practices that community
managers are using to manage EV, and their concerns about EV, have not
been previously documented. We conducted a policy Delphi study involving
24 FLOSS community managers from 22 different communities. Our panel
identified 16 concerns related to managing EV in FLOSS, which we ranked
by prevalence. We also describe 65 practices for managing EV in FLOSS.
Almost three-quarters of these practices are used by at least three
community managers. We report these practices using a systematic
presentation that includes context, relationships between practices, and
concerns that they address. These findings provide a coherent framework
that can help FLOSS community managers to better manage episodic
contributors.},

Abstract = {The education system of the present day has undergone a great
revolution, with the enhancement of education technology. Especially in
the higher education sector, IT is playing a vital role in the
advancement of teaching and learning practices. Most of the educational
organizations have already adopted smart learning environment by
upgrading their infrastructure and with proper capacity building among
staff members. But in the education sector, sustainability of technology
is always being a challenge. To develop learning materials, many
institutions have already started using free and open source software
(FOSS) tools. FOSS gives freedom to the developer with the provision of
various customization options as per the requirements of the class or
subject. Moreover, in the longer run, free and open source software
could be considered as the best option in education for e-learning
implementation, for sustainability. There are many tools which are
available for e-learning resource development. Some of them are
available online and some are available as an installer for the various
platform. In order to adapt ICT in education, especially in non-IT
specialization, the faculty members need the training to learn and
implement these tools in their classes. But there are many tools, which
are specially designed for educators with basic knowledge of computers.
Educators can plan their sessions, based on content, duration as well as
the level of the subject and the students. This research paper will
highlight various aspects of the implementation of FOSS, in education by
using such easy-to-implement tools and techniques. This would provide
general guidelines for the development of various e-learning solutions
for technology-enhanced teaching and learning practices in higher
education.},

N-GNOIS is a user friendly, platform-independent and open geospatial
consortia (OGC) compliant software. It has been developed using open
source technology (QGIS) and open source language (Python). N-GNOIS has
unique features like cumulative impact of point and mobile sources,
building structure and honking due to traffic. Honking is the most
common phenomenon in developing countries and is frequently observed on
any type of roads. N-GNOIS also helps in designing physical barrier and
vegetation cover to check the propagation of noise and acts as a
decision making tool for planning and management of noise component in
environmental impact assessment (EIA) studies.},

potential of Open Source Software (OSS) over the past few years.
However, given the many complex and novel issues that surround the use
of OSS, the process of OSS adoption is not well-understood. We
investigated this issue using a framework derived from innovation
adoption theory which was then validated in an organisation which had
embarked on a large-scale of adoption of OSS. The framework comprised
four macro-factors - external environment, organisational context,
technological context and individual factors. We then investigated these
factors in a large-scale survey. Overall, the findings suggest a
significant penetration of OSS with general deployment in two industry
sectors consultancy/sotware house and service/communication - and more
limited deployment in government/public sector. However, the existence
of a coherent and planned IT infrastructure based on proprietary;
software served to impede adoption of OSS. Finally, individual-relevant
factors such as support for the general OSS ideology and committed
personal championship of OSS were found to be significant.},

Abstract = {Nowadays, many software projects are partially or completely open-source
based. There is an increasing need for companies to participate in
open-source software (OSS) projects, e. g., in order to benefit from
open source ecosystems. OSS projects introduce particular challenges
that have to be understood in order to gain the benefits. One such
challenge is getting newcomers onboard into the projects effectively.
Similar challenges may be present in other self-organised, virtual team
environments. In this paper we present preliminary observations and
results of in-progress research that studies the process of onboarding
into virtual OSS teams. The study is based on a program created and
conceived at Stanford University in conjunction with Facebook's
Education Modernization program. It involves the collaboration of more
than a dozen international universities and nine open source projects.
More than 120 students participated in 2013. The students have been
introduced to and supported by mentors experienced in the participating
OSS projects. Our findings indicate that mentoring is an important
factor for effective onboarding in OSS projects, promoting cohesion
within distributed teams and maintaining an appropriate pace.},

Abstract = {The unprecedented volume of big data being routinely generated for
nonmodel crop species, coupled with advanced technology enabling the use
of big data in breeding, gives further impetus for the need to have
access to crop community databases, where all relevant data are curated
and integrated. Funding for such databases is, however, insufficient and
intermittent, resulting in the data being underutilized. While increased
awareness of the importance of funding databases is important, it is
practically necessary to find a more efficient way to build a community
database. To meet the need for integrated database resources for various
crop genomics, genetics, and breeding research communities, we have
built five crop databases over the last decade using an open-source
database platform and software. We describe the system and methods used
for database construction, curation, and analysis protocols, and the
data and tools that are available in these five crop databases.Database

characteristic in the context of the long-term evolution of open-source
software. According to well established software quality models such as
the ISO 9126 and the more recent ISO 25010, maintainability remains
among key quality characteristics alongside performance, security and
reliability. To achieve our objective, we selected three complex, widely
used target applications for which access to their entire development
history and source code was available. To enable cross-application
comparison, we restricted our selection to GUI-driven software developed
on the Java platform. We focused our examination on released versions,
resulting in 111 software releases included in our case study. These
covered more than 10 years of development for each of the applications.
For each version, we determined its maintainability using three distinct
quantitative models of varying complexity. We examined the relation
between software size and maintainability and studied the main drivers
of important changes to software maintainability. We contextualized our
findings using manual source code examination. We also carried out a
finer grained evaluation at package level to determine the distribution
of maintainability issues within application source code. Finally, we
provided a cross-application analysis in order to identify common as
well as application-specific patterns.},

3D Viewer, 4D Viewer (3D series with temporal dimension, for example:
Cardiac-CT) and 5D Viewer (3D series with temporal and functional
dimensions, for example: Cardiac-PET-CT). The 3D Viewer offers all
modern rendering modes: multiplanar reconstruction, surface rendering,
volume rendering and maximum Intensity projection. All these modes
support 4D data and are able to produce image fusion between two
different series (for example: PET-CT). OsiriX was developed using the
Apple Xcode development environment and Cocoa framework as both a DICOM
PACS workstation for medical imaging and an image processing software
package for medical research (radiology and nuclear imaging), functional
imaging, 3D imaging, confocal microscopy and molecular imaging.
Results OsiriX is an open source program by Antoine Rosset, a
radiologist and software developer, was designed specifically for the
needs of advanced imaging modalities. The software program turns an
Apple Macintosh into a DICOM PACS workstation for medical imaging and
image processing. OsiriX is distributed free of charge under the GNU
General Public License and its source code is available to anyone. This
system illustrates how open software development for medical imaging
tools can be successfully designed, implemented and disseminated.
Conclusion oss development can provide useful cost effective tools
tailored to specific needs and clinical tasks. The integrity and quality
assurance of open software developed by a community of users does not
follow the traditional conformance and certification required for
commercial medical software programs. However, open software can lead to
innovative solutions designed by users better suited for specific tasks.},

Abstract = {Cloud computing technology usage has emerged as a prominent field in
providing the computation services to the users using the internet. The
3As-AnyTime, AnyWhere and AnyDevice concept changed the industry towards
user-centric needs to collaborate and connect with people, which makes
software industries to adopt the cloud-based development environment.
This created the scope for educationist to enable the students with the
skills related to cloud computing technology. A course on distributed
and cloud computing is introduced at the undergraduate level for
catering to this. The authors discuss the challenges faced in
teaching-learning cloud computing technology and the method followed to
overcome these. The two main challenges are designing the course content
and adopting suitable open source infrastructure tools for hands-on
experience. The authors have put efforts in adoption and usage of cloud
computing in undergraduate engineering level by proposing a modified
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This model helped to identify
different parameters/attributes to improve academic performance. An
activity-based laboratory course is designed in line with the theory
course. All the activities are implemented using the open source
software environment. The activities planned in the course are assessed
based on the outcome based evaluation. The graduate attribute addressed
in the course are domain knowledge gain in cloud computing concepts,
problem-solving, usage of modern tools and life-long learning. The
average attainment of the stated graduate attribute is 77.89\% in the
course internal semester assessment. The effectiveness of proposed
method is validated by defining hypotheses relating to the research
questions framed. Results prominently speak about the advantage of TAM
and its implementation in the course.},

Journal = {APPLIED GEOMATICS},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {5},
Number = {2},
Pages = {119-132},
Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {Today, many GIS applications would require data sets containing full 3D
data; application fields like urban and town planning, civil protection,
cadastres and environmental studies could use full 3D data, both to
carry out spatial analyses and inquiries as well as for only
visualization. Data model can be accessed by desktop application as well
as from Internet. This second option is becoming today the most
requested. But in order to share 3D data model through Internet it is
necessary to configure a suitable system. A 3D model can be shared on
Internet in different ways. It is possible to incorporate a model inside
an executable or 3D PDF file or build something like a multimedia
application (i.e. flash based). However a better option is to put a
model inside a geospatial database and build suitable web services to
access it using Internet browsers. This second option can be performed
using different solutions for web servers, development platforms and
programming languages. Fundamental for this option is the construction
of the model that should be structured, according a conceptual model to
be replicable and interoperable. Hence, the model should be stored in a
geospatial database in order to be accessed by an application running
under a web server, so allowing access to the model. All this is the
object of the research-Management and use of distributed 3D data by open
source WebGIS software-that is part of the Italian PRIN 2007 research
project: Interoperability and cooperative management of geographic,
dynamic, multi-dimensional and distributed data with Free and Open
Source GIS (Principal investigator Paolo Zatelli), aimed to build urban
and suburban 3D models with CAD software or solid modellers, share them
with a 3D Web Feature Service Open Geospatial Consortium web feature
service like, and them using Internet browsers all done using only free
and open source software. The research work, here illustrated, which was
funded by previous research project, deals with the construction of a
suitable model and the storage of the model inside a geospatial
database. The work is based on the use of free and open source software;
Blender and PostgreSQL with PostGIS have been used, respectively, to
draw objects of the model and save their data with the help of some
Python scripts; the server side part of the system has been realized
using Tomcat with servlets and applets all written in Java. Buildings
have been modelled according to GIANT3D model (Geographical
Interoperable Advanced Numerical Topological 3-Dimensional Model)
previously developed in the research ``PRIN 2004{''}, regarding
``Evolved structure of numerical cartography for GIS and WebGIS{''}.
Python scripts, activated by Blender, allow saving data into a spatial
database implemented through PostgreSQL and PostGIS that could be a
remote database somewhere on the net; all geometrical and topological
information, implemented in the 3D model, is so transferred in PostGIS.
This information can be retrieved by Blender using other Python scripts,
so Blender fully interacts with 3D data allocated in PostGIS. These data
can be also accessed by many other clients, both directly using a
database client and using other protocols (like HTTP on Internet). The
second part of the research deals with the creation of a 3D Web Feature
Service and an applet for internet browsers, in order to allow clients
to visualize, explore and inquiry 3D model, retrieving data from
database.},

Abstract = {Aspiring software engineers must be able to comprehend and evolve legacy
code, which is challenging because the code may be poorly documented,
ill structured, and lacking in human support. These challenges of
understanding and evolving existing code can be illustrated in academic
settings by leveraging the rich and varied volume of Open Source
Software (OSS) code. To teach SE with OSS, however, it is necessary to
select uniform projects of appropriate size and complexity. This paper
reports on our search for suitable OSS projects to teach an introductory
SE course with a focus on maintenance and evolution. The search turned
out to be quite labor intensive and cumbersome, contrary to our
expectations that it would be quick and simple. The chosen projects
successfully demonstrated the maintenance challenges, highlighting the
promise of using OSS. The burden of selecting projects, however, may
impede widespread integration of OSS into SE and other computing
courses.},

Abstract = {This chapter examines the use of Open Source Software (OSS) technologies
that can be used to improve the learning of Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Explored are the various methods
that can be utilized to improve the percentage of STEM majors in the
American educational system with resources such as: Open Source as
Alternative (OSALT), virtualization, cloud computing, Linux
distributions, open source programming, and open source hardware
platforms. Increasing the amount of students that pursue STEM majors is
important because the projected job growth in the STEM field compared to
non-STEM jobs is 33\%. OSALT provides cost-effective alternatives to
commercial products such as Microsoft Office Suite and Adobe Photoshop.
Second, creating Virtual Machines (VMs) is another avenue to teach
complex concepts in computer science, engineering, and Information
Technology (IT). Third, cloud computing is an inexpensive way for
clients to access information from multiple locations and devices.
Fourth, universities can use the Operating System (OS) Linux and its
various distributions as replacements for commercial operating systems
like Windows in order to reduce IT costs. Lastly, open source
programming languages like Python and their associated Integrated
Development Environments (IDEs) provide comprehensive facilities for
software engineers for application development or testing.},

Abstract = {Scientists across the globe conduct survey programs to monitor and
characterize abundance, population structure, biodiversity and
geographical distributions. To assess the state of marine fish and
zooplankton, population surveys are often repeated annually using
standardized sampling protocols and analysis techniques to establish
trustworthy stock status. However, although transparency and
repeatability are recognised as important principles of this process, it
is often difficult to obtain comprehensive documentation of metadata and
data processing steps. This is particularly challenging for workflows
that include manual processing steps. StoX was principally built to
process research-vessel survey data, and we have included several
standard survey estimation models. The software was developed to be
robust and versatile and aimed at the open source community, such that
users could easily build their own models. StoX is fully integrated with
R to utilize the large number of R-packages and enable any StoX function
and stock estimation model to be controlled using R. There has been a
large need for a freely available software for research-vessel survey
estimation, and StoX is tested in surveys carried out in four continents
and is the official tool for many important fish stock surveys. The
basic workflow and transparency principles of StoX, together with a
customizable GUI, makes StoX applicable for any geographically coded
surveys. Future versions of StoX will include statistical models to
estimate the catch composition in commercial fisheries. In fields such
as conservation management, there is also a need to document the
estimation methods, and additional estimation and analyses models,
including biodiversity indices are currently implemented. In parallel,
we envision a closer web service integration with existing international
and national data centres.},

Title = {Financing A Free-for-All: Crowdfunding Open-Source Software},
Journal = {SMALL BUSINESS ECONOMICS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {63},
Number = {4},
Pages = {1449-1469},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {This paper examines whether open-source software (OSS) provides unique
advantages in the entrepreneurial crowdfunding context. The economic
model for new ventures with business plans centered on OSS is often
counterintuitive to early-stage investors. On the one hand, the
non-restrictive OSS approach reduces the barriers to widespread product
adoption and collaboration; on the other, OSS is essentially a public
good, creating a scenario where anyone can appropriate value from the
product without compensating its creators. As such, an OSS approach can
dissuade investors primarily concerned with appropriating value for
themselves, making it difficult for early-stage OSS ventures to attract
investors. However, the rapid rise of crowdfunding has created a
communally minded investor base that might instead find OSS projects
enticing. We theorize that the attributes of OSS projects align with the
communal expectations of crowdfunding investors and thus create
supportive environments for OSS-based ventures. We illustrate this
alignment through the community-based resource mobilization framework
and suggest that the OSS approach yields greater investor trust, leading
to superior financing outcomes. Our mixed methods approach blends
archival analyses of Kickstarter data with a constructive replication
through a randomized experiment, providing consistent support that an
OSS approach can be advantageous in the crowdfunding context.
Can rewards-based crowdfunding open new doors to finance open-source
software (OSS) projects? Our research suggests that crowdfunding backers
are more likely to support OSS projects because they are perceived as
more trustworthy. While the economic principles of OSS can be
counterintuitive, OSS promotes widespread product adoption and
collaboration. This allows anyone to benefit from OSS. Our research
builds on the notion that crowdfunding, much like OSS, is a communal
endeavor. We leverage data from the rewards-based crowdfunding platform
Kickstarter.com and a controlled experiment, finding a connection
between projects that espouse the OSS approach and crowdfunding success.
The culmination of the two studies advances knowledge of the unique
preferences of crowdfunding backers and suggests that the crowdfunding
context is fertile ground to bring new insights into OSS-focused
start-ups.},

Abstract = {PURPOSE: There are several interstitial (needle based) image-guided
ablation planning systems available, but most of them are closed or
unsupported. We propose an open source software platform for the
planning of image-guided interstitial ablation procedures, providing
generic functionality and support for specialized plug-ins.
METHODS: The patient's image data is loaded or streamed into the system
and the relevant structures are segmented. The user places fiducial
points as ablation needle entries and tips, sets the ablation times, and
the thermal dose is calculated by a dose engine. The thermal dose is
then visualized on the 2D image slices and 3D rendering using a
combination of isodose lines and surfaces. Quantitative feedback is
provided by dose volume histograms. The treatment plan can be
iteratively edited until satisfactory dose distribution is achieved. We
performed a usability study with eight novice users in which they were
asked to create a satisfactory treatment plan.
RESULTS: Interventionists can use the proposed system to create and
visualize thermal ablation plans. Researchers can use the platform to
create a wide range of specialized applications by adding plug-ins for
various types of ablation methods, thermal models, and dose calculation
engines. Existing extensions of the platform can provide real-time
imaging and tracked or robotic navigation to aid the user in optimal
needle placement. From our usability study, the users found the visual
information well represented and the platform intuitive to use. The
users averaged 4.4 recalculation attempts before finding an optimal
treatment, which was evaluated as 100\% necrosis of the tumor.
CONCLUSION: The developed platform fulfills a demand for a universal and
shared ablation planning system. While also being supported by the
state-of-the-art development of specialized plug-ins, the open source
system can adapt to the desired dose calculation or ablation procedure.},

Abstract = {Image registration is the most critical operation in remote sensing
applications to enable location based referencing and analysis of earth
features. This is the first step for any process involving
identification, time series analysis or change detection using a large
set of imagery over a region. Most of the reliable procedures involve
time consuming and laborious manual methods of finding the corresponding
matching features of the input image with respect to reference. Also the
process, as it involves human interaction, does not converge with
multiple operations at different times. Automated procedures rely on
accurately determining the matching locations or points from both the
images under comparison and the procedures are robust and consistent
over time. Different algorithms are available to achieve this, based on
pattern recognition, feature based detection, similarity techniques etc.
In the present study and implementation, Correlation based methods have
been used with a improvement over newly developed technique of
identifying and pruning the false points of match. Free and Open Source
Software (FOSS) have been used to develop the methodology to reach a
wider audience, without any dependency on COTS (Commercially off the
shelf) software. Standard deviation from foci of the ellipse of
correlated points, is a statistical means of ensuring the best match of
the points of interest based on both intensity values and location
correspondence. The methodology is developed and standardised by
enhancements to meet the registration requirements of remote sensing
imagery. Results have shown a performance improvement, nearly matching
the visual techniques and have been implemented in remote sensing
operational projects. The main advantage of the proposed methodology is
its viability in production mode environment. This paper also shows that
the visualization capabilities of MapWinGIS, GDAL's image handling
abilities and OSSIM's correlation facility can be efficiently integrated
to effectively use in remote sensing based production environment.},

there is no clearly defined `software vendor'. In these cases the
regulated company must assume responsibility for controlling a validated
open source application that is subject to ongoing change in the wider
software development community. Key to this is knowing which open source
applications require validation, identifying the additional risks posed
by the use of open source software and understanding how standard
risk-based validation models need to be adapted for use with software
that is subject to ongoing refinement.},

Abstract = {Scientific research increasingly relies on open source software (OSS).
Funding OSS development requires intentional focus on issues of
scholarly credit, unique forms of labor, maintenance, governance, and
inclusive community-building. Such issues cut across different
scientific disciplines that make them of interest to a variety of
funders and institutions but may present challenges in understanding
generalized needs. Here we present 10 simple rules for investing in
scientific OSS and the teams who build and maintain it.
Author summary
As funders of scientific research, we have a unique knowledge of the
challenges that researchers face in finding support for the many parts
of their projects. Scientific software is a central part of the research
process and is increasingly in need of investments to ensure continued
advancement and progress. Here we draw on our experiences as funders to
provide guidance and considerations for funders and other community
members interested in supporting scientific software. We address
specific issues related to software, including contributor community
development, governance, sustainability, and diversity and inclusion.},

Abstract = {Open source software has become an alternative to commercial software
for industrial users. Industrial users adopting to OSS and the
underlying concepts need to consider changing their software development
practices and organization in order to benefit from the OSS model. These
changes may involve both technical and non-technical aspects. Openness
and collaboration with a community are two non-technical concepts that
may require such changes, while evaluating OSS products or evaluating
different strategies for integrating OSS products are two technical
aspects that may require adoption.
The objective of this paper is to create an awareness for the adoption
of OSS in an industrial context. OSS can be used in different ways. Four
categories of using OSS are presented by discussing motivation,
implication and experience for each category. The main conclusion from
this work is that organizations should have a realistic expectation of
both the designated benefits and extension of organizational changes
necessary to adopt to OSS. This conclusion is based on observations from
industrial organizations using OSS, including OSS in the aeronautics
industry, as well as from observations reported in the literature on
open source.},

Abstract = {Open-source software plays a very important role in today's
technological world. Developer communities are sharing solutions and
exposing their work through large organizations like GitHub. Based on
the above, an interesting question arises: ``Do the developer
communities behave in a similar way regardless of the language they work
with?{''} and following ``which programming languages favor forking the
most?{''}. In an effort to answer questions, data from twenty different
communities of programming languages were collected, as they emerged
through GitHub. From the data (43,704,340 nodes and 39,038,833
connections) twenty different social networks were formed which were
studied with simple tools of statistics and network theory. The results
showed that all communities behaved in a similar way to the exclusion of
the R programming language community.},

Abstract = {From its very inception, the study of software architecture has
recognized architectural decay as a regularly occurring phenomenon in
long-lived systems. Architectural decay is caused by repeated, sometimes
careless changes to a system during its lifespan. Despite decay's
prevalence, there is a relative dearth of empirical data regarding the
nature of architectural changes that may lead to decay, and of
developers' understanding of those changes. In this paper, we take a
step toward addressing that scarcity by introducing an architecture
recovery framework, ARCADE, for conducting large-scale replicable
empirical studies of architectural change across different versions of a
software system. ARCADE includes two novel architectural change metrics,
which are the key to enabling large-scale empirical studies of
architectural change. We utilize ARCADE to conduct an empirical study of
changes found in software architectures spanning several hundred
versions of 23 open-source systems. Our study reveals several new
findings regarding the frequency of architectural changes in software
systems, the common points of departure in a system's architecture
during the system's maintenance and evolution, the difference between
system-level and component-level architectural change, and the
suitability of a system's implementation-level structure as a proxy for
its architecture.},

Abstract = {Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models are the most
commonly used prediction models in the previous studies on software
evolution prediction. This study explores a prediction method based on
fuzzy time series for predicting the future commit activity in open
source software (OSS) projects. The idea to choose fuzzy time series
based prediction method is due to the stochastic nature of the OSS
development process. Commit activity of OSS project indicates the
activeness of its development community. An active development community
is a strong contributor to the success of OSS project. Therefore commit
activity prediction is an important indicator to the project managers,
developers, and users regarding the evolutionary prospects of the
project in future. The fuzzy time series-based prediction method is of
order three and uses time variant difference parameter on the current
state to forecast the next state data. The performance and suitability
of computational method are examined in comparison with that of ARIMA
model on a data set of seven OSS systems. It is found that the predicted
results of the computational method outperform various ARIMA models.
Towards the end, a commit prediction model is used for each project to
analyse the trends in their commit activity.},

Open source software (OSS) communities are a globally accelerating

the software and further the code sharing to the general and corporate
users of the software. The combination of private provision and public
knowledge and software, and the seeming paradox of economic versus
social motivations have stimulated a wide debate between researchers and

viewpoint of ``intrinsic motivation,{''} knowledge creation, and
collective Internet governance. We believe that the growth of global OSS
has fundamental implications for business ethics and the governance of

Abstract = {In open source software (OSS) communities, existing leadership
indicators are dominantly measured by code contribution or community
influence. Recent studies on emergent leadership shed light on
additional dimensions such as intellectual stimulation in collaborative
communications. This paper aims to mine communication styles and
identify emergent leadership behaviors in OSS communities, using issue
comments data. We start with the construction of 6 categories of
leadership behaviors based on existing leadership studies. Then, we
manually label leadership behaviors in 10,000 issue comments from 10 OSS
projects, and extract 304 heuristic linguistic patterns which represent
different types of emergent leadership behaviors in flexible and concise
manners. Next, an automated algorithm is developed to merge and
consolidate different pattern sets extracted from multiple projects into
a final pattern ranking list, which can be applied for the automatic
leadership identification. The evaluation results show that iLead can
achieve a median precision of 0.82 and recall of 0.78, outperforming ten
machine/deep learning baselines. We argue that emergent leadership
behaviors in issue discussion should be taken into consideration to
broaden existing OSS leadership viewpoints.},

Volume = {55},
Number = {5, SI},
Pages = {173-180},
Month = {SEP},
Abstract = {The first free/libre/open source software (FLOSS) development
communities were composed almost exclusively of volunteers. They were
individuals who, despite their affiliation, contributed to the project
on their own. They decided which project to join, and their
contributions were personal in nature, even when in some cases they were
employees of companies with some interests in the project. GNU, the
first of such communities, and some others that emerged during the late
1980s and 1990s, followed this pattern. During the 1990s corporate
interests started to have a role in some FLOSS communities. Companies
hired people from those communities to gain influence, or tasked their
employees to contribute to them, again with the idea of influencing
their decisions. During the 2000s, corporate communities, in which
companies are first-class citizens, have emerged, changing the rules and
redefining the role of volunteers and non-affiliated individuals.
However, the role of developers, with independence of the company for
which they work, is still important even in these communities. This
paper addresses this transition from volunteer-based to company-based
development communities, and explores the structure and behavior of the
latter.},

Abstract = {For decades, biologists have relied on software to visualize and
interpret imaging data. As techniques for acquiring images increase in
complexity, resulting in larger multidimensional datasets, imaging
software must adapt. ImageJ is an open-source image analysis software
platform that has aided researchers with a variety of image analysis
applications, driven mainly by engaged and collaborative user and
developer communities. The close collaboration between programmers and
users has resulted in adaptations to accommodate new challenges in image
analysis that address the needs of ImageJ's diverse user base. ImageJ
consists of many components, some relevant primarily for developers and
a vast collection of user-centric plugins. It is available in many
forms, including the widely used Fiji distribution. We refer to this
entire ImageJ codebase and community as the ImageJ ecosystem. Here we
review the core features of this ecosystem and highlight how ImageJ has
responded to imaging technology advancements with new plugins and tools
in recent years. These plugins and tools have been developed to address
user needs in several areas such as visualization, segmentation, and
tracking of biological entities in large, complex datasets. Moreover,
new capabilities for deep learning are being added to ImageJ, reflecting
a shift in the bioimage analysis community towards exploiting artificial
intelligence. These new tools have been facilitated by profound
architectural changes to the ImageJ core brought about by the ImageJ2
project. Therefore, we also discuss the contributions of ImageJ2 to
enhancing multidimensional image processing and interoperability in the
ImageJ ecosystem.},

Abstract = {Among the most noteworthy topics; surrounding the recent widespread
adoption of open-source software (OSS) are the convergence by
governments worldwide to open standards and the ways in which open
source embraces this convergence. There are continuing debates over the
future of software and, in particular, the competition between OSS and
proprietary software. Many studies by governments and by information
technology analysts suggest that OSS and open standards are intimately
connected and that the inherent value of open-source adoption may be
attributable in large part to the embodiment of open standards in OSS.
The government environment is changing rapidly in areas as diverse as
homeland security and social services. Given the equally rapid changes
in the information technology marketplace, the successful adoption of
these new technologies by governments will depend on how well the
strengths of proprietary software and OSS are understood and
applied-especially with respect to the use of open standards to speed
deployments of integrated capabilities that respond to emerging
challenges. This paper evaluates the relative strengths of proprietary
software and OSS as development techniques that embrace the open
standards valued by governments.},

Abstract = {Purpose To better understand the success of an open source software
(OSS) project, this study aims to examine the role of social dependency
networks (i.e. social and technical dependencies) in online communities.
Design/methodology/approach This study focuses on dependencies using
three network metrics - degree centrality, betweenness centrality and
closeness centrality - in developer and module networks. A longitudinal
analysis from the projects hosted at Sourceforge.net is conducted to
examine the effects of social and technical networks on the success of
OSS projects. To address our research questions, we have constructed
research models to investigate the social network effects in developer
networks, the technical network effects in module networks, and the
social-technical network effects in both types of networks. Findings The
results reveal nonlinear relationships between degree centrality in both
social and technical networks and OSS success, highlighting the
importance of a moderate level of degree centrality in team structure
and software architecture. Meanwhile, a moderate level of betweenness
centrality and a lower level of closeness centrality between developers
lead to a higher chance of OSS project success. Originality/value This
study is the first attempt to consider the network metrics in both
module networks of the technical sub-system and developer networks of

Abstract = {Adopting Open Source Software (OSS) components is a decision that offers
many potential advantages - such as cost effectiveness and reputation -
but even introduces a potentially high number of risks, which span from
the inability of the OSS community to continue the development over
time, to a poor quality of code. Differently from commercial
off-the-shelf components, to assess risk in OSS component adoption, we
can rely on the public availability of measurable information about the
component code and the developing communities. In the present paper, we
present a risk evaluation technique that uses conceptual modelling to
assess OSS component adoption risks. We root it in the existing
literature on OSS risk assessment and validate it by means of our
industrial partners.},

Abstract = {An exploratory investigation was conducted on the liability and control
risks posed to U.S. organizations by the adoption of OSS. Three primary
risks associated with the use of OSS were identified: upstream
intellectual property concerns, viral software issues, and
non-infringement warranties or intellectual property (IP) indemnity
issues. In the context of a field investigation of these risks, several
potential scenarios of OSS risk to organizations were identified, with
two of them appearing as primary. The first primary scenario is the
potential loss of control over revenue generating proprietary software
when OSS source code and proprietary software source code are mixed
together in one primary software works. The second primary risk scenario
is the potential loss of control over software products or services
offered within an organization due to legal disputes about intellectual
property (IP). Other secondary risk scenarios are discussed as well.
Some emerging trends in this area are also reviewed.},

Puppet, Chef and CFEngine, allow for system configurations to be
expressed as scripts. A number of quality issues that may arise when
executing these scripts are identified. An automated quality assurance
service is proposed that identifies the presence of these issues by
automatically executing scripts across a range of environments. Test
results are automatically published to a format capable of being
consumed by script catalogues and social coding sites. This would serve
as an independent signal of script trustworthiness and quality to script
consumers and would allow developers to be made quickly aware of quality
issues. As a result, potential consumers of scripts can be assured that
a script is likely to work when applied to their particular environment.
Script developers can be notified of compatibility issues and take steps
to address them.},

Abstract = {Extracting norms from computer-mediated human interactions is gaining
popularity since huge volume of data is available from which norms can
be extracted. Open source communities offer exciting new application
opportunities for extracting norms since such communities involve
developers from different geographical regions, background and cultures.
Investigating the types of norms that exist in open source projects and
their efficacy (i.e. the usage of norms) in enabling smoother
functioning however has not received much attention from the normative
multi-agent systems (NorMAS) community. This paper makes two
contributions in this regard. First, it presents norm compliance results
from a case study involving three open source Java projects. Second, it
presents an architecture for mining norms from open source projects. It
also discusses the opportunities presented by the domain of software
repositories for the study of norms. In particular, it points towards
how norms can be mined by leveraging and extending prior work in the
areas of Normative Multi-Agent Systems (NorMAS) and mining software
repositories.},

provided a robust alternative for businesses and governments around the
world to consider them for adoption. The OSS adoption could lead to
lower production and transaction costs and thus lead to higher
profitability. However, the adoption process is complex and involves
many internal as well as external factors. Hence, information about the
rate of diffusion could be useful to decision makers and support them in
justifying their decisions. We study a variety of technology diffusion
models and their application to OSS. Epidemic, Probit, and Bass models
are compared on their interpretations of technology diffusion. We
develop a game theoretic framework where knowledge of OSS diffusion rate
could lead to information asymmetry and work in favor of an adopting
firm in terms of gaining competitive advantage over its competitors.},

Journal = {EMPIRICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING},

Volume = {18},
Number = {5},

Month = {OCT},
Abstract = {Bug fixing accounts for a large amount of the software maintenance
resources. Generally, bugs are reported, fixed, verified and closed.
However, in some cases bugs have to be re-opened. Re-opened bugs
increase maintenance costs, degrade the overall user-perceived quality
of the software and lead to unnecessary rework by busy practitioners. In
this paper, we study and predict re-opened bugs through a case study on
three large open source projects-namely Eclipse, Apache and OpenOffice.
We structure our study along four dimensions: (1) the work habits
dimension (e.g., the weekday on which the bug was initially closed), (2)
the bug report dimension (e.g., the component in which the bug was
found) (3) the bug fix dimension (e.g., the amount of time it took to
perform the initial fix) and (4) the team dimension (e.g., the
experience of the bug fixer). We build decision trees using the
aforementioned factors that aim to predict re-opened bugs. We perform
top node analysis to determine which factors are the most important
indicators of whether or not a bug will be re-opened. Our study shows
that the comment text and last status of the bug when it is initially
closed are the most important factors related to whether or not a bug
will be re-opened. Using a combination of these dimensions, we can build
explainable prediction models that can achieve a precision between
52.1-78.6 \% and a recall in the range of 70.5-94.1 \% when predicting
whether a bug will be re-opened. We find that the factors that best
indicate which bugs might be re-opened vary based on the project. The
comment text is the most important factor for the Eclipse and OpenOffice
projects, while the last status is the most important one for Apache.
These factors should be closely examined in order to reduce maintenance
cost due to re-opened bugs.},

Abstract = {Development, distribution and use of open source software comprise a
market of data (source code, bug reports, documentation, number of
downloads, etc.) from projects, developers and users. This large amount
of data hampers people to make sense of implicit links between software
projects, e.g., dependencies, patterns, licenses. This context raises
the question of what techniques and mechanisms can be used to help users
and developers to link related pieces of information across software
projects. In this paper, we propose a framework for a marketplace
enhanced using linked open data (LOD) technology for linking software
artifacts within projects as well as across software projects. The
marketplace provides the infrastructure for collecting and aggregating
software engineering data as well as developing services for mining,
statistics, analytics and visualization of software data. Based on
cross-linking software artifacts and projects, the marketplace enables
developers and users to understand the individual value of components
and their relationship to bigger software systems. Improved
understanding creates new business opportunities for software companies:
users will be able to analyze and compare projects, developers can
increase the visibility of their products, and hosts may offer plugins
and services over the data to paying customers.},

Abstract = {Background: Accurate representation of developer expertise has always
been an important research problem. While a number of studies proposed
novel methods of representing expertise within individual projects,
these methods are difficult to apply at an ecosystem level. However,
with the focus of software development shifting from monolithic to
modular, a method of representing developers' expertise in the context
of the entire OSS development becomes necessary when, for example, a
project tries to find new maintainers and look for developers with
relevant skills. Aim: We aim to address this knowledge gap by proposing
and constructing the Skill Space where each API, developer, and project
is represented and postulate how the topology of this space should
reflect what developers know (and projects need). Method: we use the
World of Code infrastructure to extract the complete set of APIs in the
files changed by open source developers and, based on that data, employ
Doc2Vec embeddings for vector representations of APIs, developers, and
projects. We then evaluate if these embeddings reflect the postulated
topology of the Skill Space by predicting what new APIs/projects
developers use/join, and whether or not their pull requests get
accepted. We also check how the developers' representations in the Skill
Space align with their self-reported API expertise. Result: Our results
suggest that the proposed embeddings in the Skill Space appear to
satisfy the postulated topology and we hope that such representations
may aid in the construction of signals that increase trust (and
efficiency) of open source ecosystems at large and may aid
investigations of other phenomena related to developer proficiency and
learning.},

Abstract = {Engineered systems increasingly depend on software. As a result, system
and software engineers require efficient methods to track defect
identification and removal efforts during the software development
lifecycle. To support such activities, we have developed a free and open
source version of the SoftWare Error Estimation Program (SWEEP), named
SweET (Software Defect Estimation Tool), which has not been publicly
available to the software engineering community for several years.
SWEEP's four modes have been simplified and combined into three modes
namely, (i) time-based, (ii) phase-based, and (iii) defect insertion in
SweET. Moreover, SweET uses the Weibull model, which is more flexible
than the Rayleigh model included in SWEEP. Furthermore, the model
fitting performed with least squares estimation in SWEEP has been
replaced with an expectation conditional maximization (ECM) algorithm,
which is both stable and efficient.},

Abstract = {The usage of external open source software components can improve
proprietary software in multiple ways, such as higher quality, lower
cost, and faster time-to-market. But in order to fully benefit from its

significant risks to specifically manage to avoid potential legal
consequences. This paper lays out the foundations for a process
framework that successfully manages those risks and addresses the
intrinsic aspects of open source software usage. Furthermore, it
proposes a well-proven basis and best practices for corporate

Pages = {344-360},
Abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the literature
about the commercial involvement in open source software, levels of this
involvement and consequences of attempting to mix various logics of
action.
Design/methodology/approach - This paper uses the case study approach
based on mixed methods: literature reviews and news searches, electronic
surveys, qualitative interviews and observations. It combines
discussions from several research projects as well as previous
publications to present the scope of commercial choices within open
source software and their consequences.
Findings - The findings show that higher levels of involvement in open
source software communities poses important questions about the balance
between economic, technological, and social logics as well as the
benefits of being autonomous, having access to collaborative networks
and minimizing risks related to free-riding. There are six levels of
commercial involvement in open source communities, and each of them is
characterized by a different dilemma.
Originality/value - The paper sheds light on the various level of
involvement of business in open source movement and emphasize that the
popularized ``open innovation{''} concept is only the first step in real
involvement and paradigm shift.},

Abstract = {Defect reporting and correction is one of the most crucial part in any
phase of software development. This is a very costly activity. A lot of
time, effort and resources can be saved if the defects can be predicted
beforehand, using a suitable training data set. For this, the generation
of defect reports which reports the classes that are defective and
computes the required software metrics is required. This process should
be fully automated. Various data analysis research techniques and
algorithms can be applied on this produced data set and this information
can be very helpful for the developers and the organization as a whole
for the prediction of bugs for future purposes and for analysis of the
quality of the software being produced. The various issues addressed in
this paper are (1) selection of suitable projects as input for the tool,
(2) a mechanism to trace the whole project code history and identifying
the classes present, (3) the criteria for classifying a class as
defective, (4) method to generate most accurate software metrics for the
classes, (5) combining all the data into a final representable format.
The tool is developed using Java, using the top open source repositories
hosted on Github to test its working, incorporating SourceMeter tool to
produce the software metrics and wrapping all this in a simple
interface.},

Abstract = {Purpose - Open source software (OSS) products have rapidly acquired a
notable importance in the last years among consumers and firms all over
the world. They are mostly developed and distributed through online
social networks thanks to the voluntary and collaborative actions of
their members. However, their innovation and development has to face up
the existence of free-riders which can benefit from the knowledge
developed in the online social network. This paper aims to understand
the factors that moderate the opportunistic behaviour in OSS development
and distribution, which will help to correctly manage the OSS
innovations.
Design/methodology/approach - The influence of reputation on members'
satisfaction and participation intentions in OSS online social networks
are measured. Additionally, the impact of being an active and satisfied
member on his/her commitment and intention to use the OSS products are
studied. After the validation of measurement scales the hypotheses are
contrasted with structural modelling.
Findings - This research show that perceived reputation acts as a
deterrent factor of free-riders. More specifically, reputation exerts a
positive and significant effect on member's satisfaction with previous
interactions and an indirect effect on participation intentions in the
social network through satisfaction. Besides, these two outcomes of
reputation boost the members' affective commitment to the OSS and, as a
consequence, the intention to use OSS products is also increased.
Practical implications - Reputation and satisfaction are two crucial
aspects in explaining the success of an online social network since they
serve to guarantee the interaction among its members. In addition,
participation continuance intentions in an online network may help to
increase the levels of affective commitment and loyalty to the mutual
interest of the network (the OSS in this case). This result may be
especially relevant for commercial networks, which are based on the
admiration to a brand, firm or product.
Originality/value - The analysis of online social networks as a
development and distribution channel and the role of reputation in
promoting members' participation (that is, avoiding opportunistic
behaviour) represent a new contribution to the analysis of online social
networks. This research field has acquired a notable popularity in
recent years.},

Abstract = {Traditionally, the protection of intellectual property is regarded as a
precondition for value capture. The rise of open source (OS) software
and OS tangible products, so-called open design, has challenged this
understanding. Openness is often regarded as a dichotomous variable
(open-source vs. closed-source) and it is assumed that online developer
communities demand full opening of the product's source. In this paper
we will explore openness as a gradual and multi-dimensional concept. We
carried out an Internet survey (N = 270) among participants of 20 open
design communities in the domain of IT hardware and consumer
electronics. We find that open design projects pursue complex strategies
short of complete openness and that communities value openness of
software more highly than openness of hardware. Our findings suggest
that open design companies can successfully implement strategies of
partial openness to safeguard value capture without alienating their
developer community.},

Abstract = {Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) is an environmental
governance approach that deals with complex and interwoven ecological
problems through a participatory environmental management framework.
Practitioner, donor, and academic interest in this strategy is on the
rise, and successful CBNRM organizations are experiencing internal and
external pressures to help ``transfer{''} their knowledge and
experiences to other contexts and scales. If organized through the
traditional top-down diffusion of innovation approach, many barriers to
CBNRM transfer exist, beginning with organizational costs that may
outweigh potential benefits. However, reframed as a more ``open{''} and
emergent process, the burdens of transfer may be reduced and benefits
increased. We draw on an analogy from the Open Source Software (OSS)
movement to suggest an organizational rationale for exchange and
principles such as ``porting,{''} the ``kernel,{''} ``copyleft,{''} and
``forking{''} that can guide CBNRM and for community-based organizations
challenged to share their approach to conservation.},

studies of OSS-wide copy-based reuse by providing copying activity data
that captures whole-file reuse in nearly all OSS. To accomplish that, we
develop approaches to detect copy-based reuse by developing an efficient
algorithm that exploits World of Code infrastructure: a curated and

expect this data will enable future research and tool development that
support such reuse and minimize associated risks.},

process to find optimal methodology for creating a bathymetric map. The
methodology used in this research is modifiable for different purposes
and is based on obtaining the best results from using open-source
resources and knowledge of cartography. Lake Zebrus is an example how to
perform accurate and state of the art bathymetric survey in a short time
period. The area of Lake Zebrus is 417.57 ha. The lake has a small
crooked coastline. Lake Zebrus has a maximum depth of 4.45 m and an
average depth of 1.48 m. Results from the bathymetric survey can be used
for further research based on depth data. The research tasks are
accomplished as the methodology selected is repeatable in the other
lakes. The research results prove that this methodology can be used for
a bathymetric survey and it is possible to obtain high-definition
results using open-source resources.},

Abstract = {Nowadays Open-Source Software is developed mostly by decentralized teams
of developers cooperating on-line. GitHub portal is an online social
network that supports development of software by virtual teams of
programmers. Since there is no central mechanism that governs the
process of team formation, it is interesting to investigate if there are
any significant correlations between project quality and the
characteristics of the team members. However, for such analysis to be
possible, we need good metrics of a project quality. This paper develops
two such metrics, first one reflecting project's popularity, and the
second one - the quality of support offered by team members to users.
The first metric is based on the number of `stars' a project is given by
other GitHub members, the second is obtained using survival analysis
techniques applied to issues reported on the project by its users. After
developing the metrics we have gathered characteristics of several
GitHub projects and analyzed their influence on the project quality
using statistical regression techniques.},

Abstract = {Software development is a knowledge intensive process and the
information generated in open source software development projects is
typically housed in a central Internet repository. Open source
repositories typically contains vast amounts of information, much of it
unstructured, meaning that even if a question has previously been
discussed and dealt with it is not a trivial task to locate it. This can
lead to rework and confusion amongst developers and possibly deter new
developers from getting involved in the project in the first place. This
paper will present the case for an open source software development
ontology. Such an ontology would enable better categorization of
information and the development of sophisticated knowledge portals in
order to better organize community knowledge and increase efficiency in
the open source development process.},

Title = {METHODS: A meta-path-based method for heterogeneous community detection
in the open source software ecosystem},
Journal = {INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {162},
Month = {OCT},
Abstract = {Detecting communities in the open source software (OSS) ecosystem can
help understand the collaborations in the open source software ecosystem
and promote an understanding of the dynamics of the ecosystem. However,
most existing community detection methods are designed for homogeneous
networks, whereas the OSS ecosystem is a heterogeneous network.
Therefore, we propose a meta-path-based method for heterogeneous
community detection in the OSS ecosystem (METHODS). METHODS comprises
four steps. Firstly, a heterogeneous information network is constructed
based on meta-paths. Secondly, the Canopy algorithm is used to obtain
the number of initial communities. Thirdly, the skip-gram model is used
to identify seed nodes for community detection. Finally, METHODS detects
heterogeneous communities around the seed nodes. By defining a series of
evaluation metrics and verifying these on GitHub datasets, METHODS
achieves the best performance of all the other methods. Moreover, the
case studies on GitHub also shows METHODS can discover latent
communities whose members are potentially relevant.},

Abstract = {Objectives Regular hygiene trainings are an important way to refresh and
improve knowledge about hygiene measures and the prevention of
healthcare-associated infections. We aimed to develop an e-learning
course to allow healthcare workers (HCWs) to learn these contents
through a self-paced online format.Methods We developed an interactive
hygiene training for HCWs of a tertiary care hospital using different
content types of the HTML-5 package (H5P) plugin embedded into a
Moodle-based learning management system. We evaluated the course using a
short online questionnaire.Results We present various suitable topics
for online hygiene trainings as well as their implementation in an
e-learning course. Examples include content on hand hygiene indications
and techniques, information on multidrug-resistant organisms and other
current topics in infection control. HCWs reported high overall
satisfaction, perceived increase in knowledge, practical relevance as
well as good usability and comprehensibility.Discussion Currently
available commercial and non-commercial hygiene trainings present a
number of specific advantages but also drawbacks. The presented approach
combines the advantages of both approaches. The majority of the
presented content can be readily adapted to suit various hospitals and
care facilities or serve as inspiration for creating similar courses
while remaining cost-effective.Conclusion H5P course presentations are a
low-threshold, cost-effective way to implement digital hygiene trainings
in a wide variety of clinical settings.},

Abstract = {This paper explores the usage and awareness of free and open-source
software (FOSS) among university students attending several study
programs at the Faculty of Organization and Informatics (FOI) of the
University of Zagreb and the Faculty of Teacher Education (FTE) of the
University of Zagreb. Using the data collected via an online
questionnaire on the sample of 777 students and the descriptive and
inferential statistics, an analysis was carried out to determine whether
the respondents are familiar with the key features of FOSS, whether they
use some FOSS, whether they are aware of the advantages of FOSS, which
features of FOSS are the most important to them, and how they evaluate
the quality of FOSS. The data were analysed using the statistics FOSS
GNU PSPP and R. The research results show that 92.66 \% of the
respondents use some kind of FOSS, 28.99 \% are aware that they are
using FOSS with all its features, and the most important FOSS feature
for the respondents is that it is often cost-free. There are significant
differences in the respondents' familiarity with FOSS and the number of
FOSS operating systems users in terms of their faculty and gender. On a
scale from 1 (insufficient) to 5 (excellent), the respondents' rating of
FOSS reliability was 3.74, completeness 3.68, and overall quality 3.74.
The research results indicate the need for additional education of
students about FOSS, and its advantages and disadvantages.},

Abstract = {Scientists often need to build dedicated computer-controlled
experimental systems. For this purpose, it is becoming common to employ
open-source microcontroller platforms, such as the Arduino. These boards
and associated integrated software development environments provide
affordable yet powerful solutions for the implementation of hardware
control of transducers and acquisition of signals from detectors and
sensors. It is, however, a challenge to write programs that allow
interactive use of such arrangements from a personal computer. This task
is particularly complex if some of the included hardware components are
connected directly to the computer and not via the microcontroller. A
graphical user interface framework, lnstrumentino, was therefore
developed to allow the creation of control programs for complex systems
with minimal programming effort. By writing a single code file, a
powerful custom user interface is generated, which enables the automatic
running of elaborate operation sequences and observation of acquired
experimental data in real time. The framework, which is written in
Python, allows extension by users, and is made available as an open
source project.},

Abstract = {Traditionally the protection of intellectual property is regarded as a
precondition for value capture. The rise of open source (OS) software
and OS tangible products, so-called open design, has challenged this
understanding. Openness is often regarded as a dichotomous variable
(open-source vs. closed-source) and it is assumed that online developer
communities demand full opening of the product's source. In this paper
we will explore openness as a gradual and multi-dimensional concept. We
carried out an Internet survey (N = 270) among participants of 20 open
design communities in the domain of IT hardware and consumer
electronics. We find that open design projects pursue complex strategies
short of complete openness and that communities value openness of
software more highly than openness of hardware. Our findings suggest
that open design companies can successfully implement strategies of
partial openness to safeguard value capture without alienating their
developer community.},

Abstract = {Background: Software smells reflect the sub-optimal patterns in the
software. In a similar way, community smells consider the sub-optimal
patterns in the organizational and social structures of software teams.
Related work performed empirical studies to identify the relationship
between community smells and software smells at the architecture and
code levels. However, how community smells relate with design smells is
still unknown.
Aims: In this paper, we empirically investigate the relationship between
community smells and design smells during the evolution of software
projects.
Method: We apply three statistical methods: correlation, trend, and
information gain analysis to empirically examine the relationship
between community and design smells in 100 releases of 10 large-scale
Apache open-source software projects.
Results: Our results reveal that the relationship between community and
design smells varies across the analyzed projects. We find significant
correlations and trend similarities for one type of community smell
(when developers work in isolation without peer communication-Missing
Links) with design smells in most of the analyzed projects. Furthermore,
the results of our statistical model disclose that community smells are
more relevant for design smells compared to other community-related
factors.
Conclusion: Our results find that the relationship of community smells
(in particular, the Missing Links smell) exists with design smells.
Based on our findings, we discuss specific community smell refactoring
techniques that should be done together when refactoring design smells
so that the problems associated with the social and technical (design)
aspects of the projects can be managed concurrently.},

Abstract = {Open source software projects often rely on package management systems
that help projects discover, incorporate, and maintain dependencies on
other packages, maintained by other people. Such systems save a great
deal of effort over ad hoc ways of advertising, packaging, and
transmitting useful libraries, but coordination among project teams is
still needed when one package makes a breaking change affecting other
packages. Ecosystems differ in their approaches to breaking changes, and
there is no general theory to explain the relationships between
features, behavioral norms, ecosystem outcomes, and motivating values.
We address this through two empirical studies. In an interview case
study, we contrast Eclipse, NPM, and CRAN, demonstrating that these
different norms for coordination of breaking changes shift the costs of
using and maintaining the software among stakeholders, appropriate to
each ecosystem's mission. In a second study, we combine a survey,
repository mining, and document analysis to broaden and systematize
these observations across 18 ecosystems. We find that all ecosystems
share values such as stability and compatibility, but differ in other
values. Ecosystems' practices often support their espoused values, but
in surprisingly diverse ways. The data provides counterevidence against
easy generalizations about why ecosystem communities do what they do.},

Abstract = {We reconstruct the dual network structure generated by the association
between 72 contributors and 737 software bugs engaged during a full
development cycle of the free/open source software project Epiphany.
Estimates of structural parameters of Exponential Random Graph Models
for two-mode networks reveal the structural logics shaping activities of
collaborative problem solving. After controlling for
contributor-specific and software bug-specific characteristics, we find
that contributors ({''}problem solvers{''}) tend to distribute their
activity over multiple software bugs. At the same time, however, we find
that software bugs ({''}problems{''}) tend not to share multiple
contributors. This dual tendency toward de-specialization and
exclusivity is sustained by specific local network dependencies revealed
by our analysis which also suggests possible organizational mechanisms
that may be underlying the puzzling macro-structural regularities
frequently observed, but rarely explained, in the production of open
source software. By combining these mechanisms with the influence of
contributors characterized by different levels of involvement in the
project, we provide micro-level evidence of structural interdependence
between ``core{''} and ``peripheral{''} members identified exclusively
on the basis of their individual level of contribution to the project.

Abstract = {As a first step towards assessing the quality of support offered online
for Open Source Software (OSS), we address the task of locating
requests, i.e., messages that raise an issue to be addressed by the OSS
community, as opposed to any other message. We present a corpus of
online communication messages randomly sampled from newsgroups and bug
trackers, manually annotated as requests or non-requests. We identify
several linguistically shallow, content-based heuristics that correlate
with the classification and investigate the extent to which they can
serve as independent classification criteria. Then, we train
machine-learning classifiers on these heuristics. We experiment with a
wide range of settings, such as different learners, excluding some
heuristics and adding unigram features of various parts-of-speech and
frequency. We conclude that some heuristics can perform well, while
their accuracy can be improved further using machine learning, at the
cost of obtaining manual annotations.},

Abstract = {Few open source software (OSS) projects have been great success stories.
One reason for this is project stagnation after developers quit their
projects. This fact has motivated researchers to examine the factors
that influence developers' intention to continue their participation.
One factor is trust among developers. The effects of trust on
developers' intention to remain with their projects have been studied.
However, little is known about its conceptual counterpart, distrust.
This dearth of knowledge motivates our research. First, we studied what
OSS project features affect trust and distrust among developers. Second,
we examined how trust and distrust influence developers' intention to
continue participating. We tested our hypotheses with 451 data points
from an online survey. Our findings indicate that cooperative norms and
effective communication engender trust, whereas an accreditation
mechanism eliminates distrust. Additionally, trust positively influences
their intention to continue participating, whereas distrust negatively
influences it.},

framework for assessment and ranking},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF SOFTWARE-EVOLUTION AND PROCESS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {36},
Number = {7},
Month = {JUL},
Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) follows a software development paradigm
whereby self-motivated volunteers scattered all around the globe
contribute to the development in the form of code, documentation,
feedback, feature recommendations, bug reporting, and bug resolution.
These volunteers, commonly referred to as OSS project community, serve
as the foundation of the OSS project, fostering its creation and
sustenance and providing long-term support. The quality and
sustainability of the OSS project is reliant upon the development and
structure of the self-governing community. When a business organization
plans to acquire an OSS solution, it not only takes into consideration
the factors such as reliability, security, and scalability but also
attaches significant importance to the likelihood of the OSS project
being maintained and supported in the future so that it can rely on it
as a stable and secure technology solution. Modern cloud-based software
hosting platforms, such as GitHub, offer a range of options for
automatically and freely accessing the complete development history of
millions of OSS projects. This easy availability of detailed development
history has enabled researchers to analyze and draw quantitative and
scientific inferences about the quality of an OSS project which
generally involves assessing three aspects, namely, software product,
development process, and project community. With focus on project
community part, a Framework for Assessment and Ranking of OSS Community
is being presented in the current research work, following a detailed
examination of the largest source code hosting and project collaboration
platform, GitHub. Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to
Ideal Solution from Multi-Criteria Decision-Making toolkit has been
utilized for assessing the quality of the project community. The
framework has been validated by applying it on nine OSS projects and
comparing the results with the outcomes obtained through an existing OSS
evaluation methodology. The comparative analysis demonstrated that the
proposed framework aligns with the aforementioned evaluation methodology
while offering an opportunity for in-depth analysis on the dynamics of
volunteer communities, which is lacking in previous evaluation methods.
These insights can prove valuable for both potential adopters and
project maintainers, aiding them in making informed strategic decisions.
Framework for Project Community Assessment and Ranking follows a phased
approach where first phase involves OSS project identification, second
phase defines assessment criteria, in third phase data is fetched,
stored and metrics are computed; and the last phase involves final
Quality Assessment and Ranking. The framework will aid both corporate
entities and individual practitioners in identifying an open source
project with a robust volunteer community capable of producing a product
of exceptional quality.image},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) licenses regulate the conditions under which
OSS can be legally reused, distributed, and modified. However, a common
issue arises when incorporating third-party OSS accompanied with
licenses, i.e., license incompatibility, which occurs when multiple
licenses exist in one project and there are conflicts between them.
Despite being problematic, fixing license incompatibility issues
requires substantial efforts due to the lack of license understanding
and complex package dependency. In this paper, we propose LiResolver, a
fine-grained, scalable, and flexible tool to resolve license
incompatibility issues for open source software. Specifically, it first
understands the semantics of licenses through fine-grained entity
extraction and relation extraction. Then, it detects and resolves
license incompatibility issues by recommending official licenses in
priority. When no official licenses can satisfy the constraints, it
generates a custom license as an alternative solution. Comprehensive
experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of LiResolver, with 4.09\%
false positive (FP) rate and 0.02\% false negative (FN) rate for
incompatibility issue localization, and 62.61\% of 230 real-world
incompatible projects resolved by LiResolver. We discuss the feedback
from OSS developers and the lessons learned from this work. All the
datasets and the replication package of LiResolver have been made
publicly available to facilitate follow-up research.},

engendered by philosophical opposition. In education some key
philosophical dichotomies are those of commercial-copyright versus free

software library was generated by four centres supporting students with
special learning needs in Britain in the early 1980s, and embodied
important features relevant to these tensions. More recently a
longitudinal study in Tasmania has provided data to take the story
further, highlighting the dangers of an office-centric approach to ICT
in school education. The paper concludes with an argument for the
exploration of online learning objects as a possible teacher-friendly
solution to providing teachers with a rich repertoire of
curriculum-focused learning activities.},

Abstract = {The tags of open-source software (OSS) are important for managing and
retrieving a massive amount of OSS in the OSS community, untagged OSS
makes managing and retrieving OSS on GitHub difficult. However,
developers sometimes neglect to write tag for repositories. For example,
in our collected dataset with over 43K GitHub repositories, more than 32
\% of the repository are unlabeled. To alleviate this problem, we
propose an approach to automatically generate repository tag based on a
neural network and LDA by utilizing package dependencies and readme
among OSS in communities. We design an algorithm for extracting the tag
features of dependent OSS packages and build dependent feature vectors
for OSS. We then combine the vectors with topic of OSS readme file as
input to train the neural network and obtain the tag distribution
probability of OSS, and subsequently, recommend tags for OSS.
Experiments are performed on the OSS dataset that we collected from
GitHub, over 43K repositories and evaluate our approach on this dataset.
Experiment results show that DepTagRec performs better than other
methods in terms of precision and recall, particularly on recall when
recommending the top 10 tags for OSS.},

Abstract = {From its very inception, the study of software architecture has
recognized architectural decay as a regularly occurring phenomenon in
long-lived systems. Architectural decay is caused by repeated changes to
a system during its lifespan. Despite decay's prevalence, there is a
relative dearth of empirical data regarding the nature of architectural
changes that may lead to decay, and of developers' understanding of
those changes. In this paper, we take a step toward addressing that
scarcity by conducting an empirical study of changes found in software
architectures spanning several hundred versions of 14 open-source
systems. Our study reveals several new findings regarding the frequency
of architectural changes in software systems, the common points of
departure in a system's architecture during maintenance and evolution,
the difference between system-level and component-level architectural
change, and the suitability of a system's implementation-level structure
as a proxy for its architecture.},

aim to create an understanding of what motivates people to participate

forces. Our theory is grounded in the learning theory of Legitimate
Peripheral Participation, and is supported by analyzing the social
structure of OSS communities and the co-evolution between OSS systems
and communities. We also discuss practical implications of our theory
for creating and maintaining sustainable OSS communities as well as for

Abstract = {We conduct an extensive statistical analysis on the social networks of
contributors in Open Source Software (OSS) communities using datasets
collected from two most fast-growing OSS social interaction sites,
Github.com and Ohloh.net. Our goal is to analyze the connectivity
structure of the social networks of contributors and to investigate the
effect of the different social ties structures on developers' overall
productivity to OSS projects. We, first, analyze the general structure
of the social networks, e.g., graph distances and the degree
distribution of the social networks. Our social network structure
analysis confirms a power-law degree distribution and small-world
characteristics. However, the degree mixing pattern shows that high
degree nodes tend to connect more with low degree nodes suggesting a
collaboration between experts and newbie developers. We further conduct
the same analysis on affiliation networks and find that contributors
tend to participate in projects of similar team sizes. Second, we study
the correlation between various social factors (e.g., closeness and
betweenness centrality, clustering coefficient and tie strength) and the
productivity of the contributors in terms of the amount of contribution
and commitment to OSS projects. The analysis is conducted under the
contexts of global and local networks, where a global network analysis
considers a developer's connectivity in the whole OSS community network,
whereas a local network analysis considers a developer's connectivity
within a team network that is affiliated to a project. The analysis
demonstrates evident influence of the social factors on the developers'
overall productivity.},

Abstract = {Software provided under open source licenses is widely used, from
forming high-profile stand-alone applications (e.g., Mozilla Firefox) to
being embedded in commercial offerings (e.g., network routers). Despite
the high frequency of use of open source licenses, there has been little
work about whether software developers understand the open source
licenses that they use. To help understand whether or not developers
understand the open source licenses they use, we conducted a survey that
posed development scenarios involving three popular open source licenses
(GNU GPL 3.0, GNU LGPL 3.0 and MPL 2.0) both alone and in combination.
The 375 respondents to the survey, who were largely developers, gave
answers consistent with those of a legal expert's opinion in 62\% of 42
cases. Although developers clearly understood cases involving one
license, they struggled when multiple licenses were involved. To
understand the context in which licensing issues arise in practice, we
analyzed real-world questions posed by developers about the three
licenses considered in the survey on online question-and-answer
communities. We also interviewed practicing developers about license
interaction problems they have faced. Among several lessons, we learnt
that licensing issues can constrain software evolution and that
developers are cautious of more restrictive licenses. Our results
indicate a need for tool support to help guide developers in
understanding the structure of the code and the technical details of a
project while taking into account the exact requirements imposed by the
licenses involved.},

Abstract = {We present Clinica ((www.clinica.run), an open-source software platform
designed to make clinical neuroscience studies easier and more
reproducible. Clinica aims for researchers to (i) spend less time on
data management and processing, (ii) perform reproducible evaluations of
their methods, and (iii) easily share data and results within their
institution and with external collaborators. The core of Clinica is a
set of automatic pipelines for processing and analysis of multimodal
neuroimaging data (currently, T1-weighted MRI, diffusion MRI, and PET
data), as well as tools for statistics, machine learning, and deep
learning. It relies on the brain imaging data structure (BIDS) for the
organization of raw neuroimaging datasets and on established tools
written by the community to build its pipelines. It also provides
converters of public neuroimaging datasets to BIDS (currently ADNI,
AIBL, OASIS, and NIFD). Processed data include image-valued scalar
fields (e.g., tissue probability maps), meshes, surface-based scalar
fields (e.g., cortical thickness maps), or scalar outputs (e.g.,
regional averages). These data follow the ClinicA Processed Structure
(CAPS) format which shares the same philosophy as BIDS. Consistent
organization of raw and processed neuroimaging files facilitates the
execution of single pipelines and of sequences of pipelines, as well as
the integration of processed data into statistics or machine learning
frameworks. The target audience of Clinica is neuroscientists or
clinicians conducting clinical neuroscience studies involving multimodal
imaging, and researchers developing advanced machine learning algorithms
applied to neuroimaging data.},

Abstract = {In recent decades several major changes in computer and communication
technology have pushed the limits of imaging informatics and PACS beyond
the traditional system architecture providing new perspectives and
innovative approach to a traditionally conservative medical community.
Disruptive technologies such as the world-wide-web, wireless networking,
Open Source software and recent emergence of cyber communities and
social networks have imposed an accelerated pace and major quantum leaps
in the progress of computer and technology infrastructure applicable to
medical imaging applications.
Methods: This paper reviews the impact and potential benefits of two
major trends in consumer market software development and how they will
influence the future of medical imaging informatics. Open Source
software is emerging as an attractive and cost effective alternative to
traditional commercial software developments and collaborative social
networks provide a new model of communication that is better suited to
the needs of the medical community.
Observations: Evidence shows that successful Open Source software tools
have penetrated the medical market and have proven to be more robust and
cost effective than their commercial counterparts. Developed by
developers that are themselves part of the user community, these tools
are usually better adapted to the user's need and are more robust than
traditional software programs being developed and tested by a large
number of contributing users. This context allows a much faster and more
appropriate development and evolution of the software platforms.
Similarly, communication technology has opened up to the general public
in a way that has changed the social behavior and habits adding a new
dimension to the way people communicate and interact with each other.
The new paradigms have also slowly penetrated the professional market
and ultimately the medical community. Secure social networks allowing
groups of people to easily communicate and exchange information is a new
model that is particularly suitable for some specific groups of
healthcare professional and for physicians. It has also changed the
expectations of how patients wish to communicate with their physicians.
Conclusion: Emerging disruptive technologies and innovative paradigm
such as Open Source software are leading the way to a new generation of
information systems that slowly will change the way physicians and
healthcare providers as well as patients will interact and communicate
in the future. The impact of these new technologies is particularly
effective in image communication, PACS and teleradiology. (C) 2010

Abstract = {Finding real examples that follow the evolution of Software Engineering
is not an easy task for instructors in the field. Open Source Software
(OSS) projects have been an alternative to support education in Software
Engineering, as they allow contact with real development projects and
environments. However, the adoption of these projects in the classroom
presents some obstacles, such as choosing the appropriate project, and
the time and effort needed to prepare the classes and get used to the
open source environment. In order to reduce the difficulties faced by
instructors, we are working on developing a portal to catalog worked
examples extracted from OSS projects to assist instructors. In this
paper, we present the first steps towards creating this catalog, which
is creating a pattern for guiding the structuring the worked examples.
We are applying the Design Science Research paradigm. The activities
reported in this paper regards the first Design Cycle, and were divided
into three stages related to the elaboration and evaluation of the
pattern for cataloging the worked examples. In these stages, we carried
out focus groups and interviews with Software Engineering instructors,
including the instantiation of the pattern to catalog actual worked
examples. After each stage, we had a new and improved version of the
pattern for cataloging the worked examples. Such pattern served as a
basis to create the first version of the worked examples portal, which
will be evaluated in the next stages of the research.},

Abstract = {Lee et al. (2015) proposed multi purposed evaluation model named
Behavior-Structure-Evolution Evaluation Model(BSEM) for the purpose of
proposing evaluation framework for open source software service
companies based on general corporate valuation model. The evaluation
model is composed of three factors. First, enterprise service level of
Open source software is divided by Service Area, Service domain and
Service Activity. Second, technical reference model of Open source
software is divided by Service Area, Open source software technical
Domain, Technical Sub-Domain, Open Source Software Name. Third, index of
evaluation level is divided by evaluation group, evaluation domain and
evaluation item.
Therefore, main purpose of this study is to applying BSEM for OSS
service companies to adaptability, expandability and objectivity of
BSEM. We chose 2 out of 290 OSS service companies and they offer
operating system and Database management system services. We applied
Technology Reference Model(TRM) for technical domain. At last we applied
21 evaluation indexes for measuring each service level. Also we measured
service weight by OSS experts and applied for BSEM model.
After whole evaluation indexes are calculated BSEM suggested final
service level by showing alphabet from AAA to D and BSEM affords the
detailed service level for BSEM user.},

Abstract = {The development in information technology has now moved from the first
wave that emphasises on computer technical skills to the second wave
which focuses on the application and management aspects This paper aims
to investigate the use of learning management system among future school
heads in education management and leadership. The study was conducted in
two phases. The first phase focused on developing a learning management
system using open source software - Moodle. This phase emphasized on the
processes involved in designing and developing the learning management
system prototype called E-Headship. The second phase evaluated
participants' suitability in becoming future school leaders and managers
through the use of E-Headship for the National Professional
Qualification for Headship (NPQH) programme. E-Headship was then
evaluated in terms of the applications of the learning management
system. Sixty (60) participants from Institut Aminudin Baki (IAB) - an
institute for training school administrators took part in the study. The
data were analyzed using descriptive statistic focusing on reporting of
the results in percentile, means, standard deviation and frequency. As
it compared the performance results of two groups, a simple T-test was
also performed. The results revealed that e-Headship has succeeded in
promoting teaching and learning strategies to a higher degree. It is
hoped that the use of such prototype will help the education institution
in designing and developing better programmes that could benefit the
participants at large.},

is unknown about how complexity evolves over the life of a software
application and whether different dimensions of software complexity may
exhibit similar or different evolutionary patterns. Using
cross-sectional and longitudinal data on a sample of 108 open source
projects, this research investigated how the complexity of open source
project releases varied throughout the life of the project. Functional
data analysis was applied to the release histories of the projects and
recurring evolutionary patterns were derived. There were projects that
saw little evolution, according to their measures of size and structural
complexity. However, projects that displayed some evolution often
differed on the pattern of evolution depending on whether size or
structural complexity was examined. Factors that contribute to and
result from the patterns of complexity were evaluated, and implications
for research and practice are presented.},

Abstract = {\#semantic Climate is an international open research community led by
young Indian scientists who use Open Notebook Science to transform
information into structured filtered and actionable knowledge. The key
project mission is to liberate scientific climate data, making it
equitable and freely accessible to everyone. The \#semantic Climate
community achieves this through two central activities, namely
collaborative open notebook science, and citizen engagement. The first
activity is research oriented and involves creation of a
proof-of-concept software toolkit that uses AI over NLP to transform
locked literature (such as PDF documents) into semantic, hypermedia
form. This is a non-trivial task, that has haunted developers for over
three decades, and the \#semantic Toolkit makes complex climate reports
not just easily accessible, but also processable by machines, embedded
in the Global Knowledge Graph and thereby connected to multilingual
resources. The second activity is where the \#semantic Climate community
engages citizens in climate action and awareness through interactive
hackathons, open and transparent working practices, and using Git
versioning. From a citizen science perspective, this includes designing
community outreach activities (games), giving attribution to all
participants, and engaging the wider public in the culture and practices
of science (verifiable knowledge, review, data science, modern
infrastructure use, etc). This article is an overview of the \#semantic
Climate community building efforts, and how the project employs
strategies, techniques, and ideas from the fields of Open Notebook
Science. The open-source software culture and projects follow UNESCO
Open Science values, and knowledge justice for the Global South, towards
addressing knowledge neo-colonisation.},

Abstract = {Studies on Open Source Software (OSS) developer communities have long
stated that there is a relationship between community structure and
tasks carried out by project members. This relationship has been
exemplified by the onion model, which has been instrumental in
understanding self-coordination in OSS projects. Despite its ubiquity,
there is a lack of empirical evidence to validate the relative position
of each task cluster within the onion model. In this study, we map out
the community structure of a large open source project and observe its
bug-fixing patterns to explore the relationship between tasks and
structure. Our study makes three significant contributions. First, we
find no empirical evidence to support the structural location of
bug-fixing tasks in the onion structure. Second, we find empirical
evidence to support the core-periphery continuum model linking an
actor'scorenessto problem-solving ability. Third, our results suggest
that the importance and location of each task within the core-periphery
structure evolve over time. These findings add clarity to the community
structure and their implications for the management and coordination of
collaborative innovation projects.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) is a core part of virtually all software
applications today. Due to the rapidly growing impact of OSS on society
and the economy, the security aspect has attracted researchers'
attention to investigate this distinctive phenomenon. Traditionally,
research on OSS security has often focused on technical aspects of
software development. We argue that these aspects are important,
however, technical security practice considering different social
aspects of OSS development will assure the effectiveness and efficiency
of the implementation of the tool. To mitigate this research gap, in
this empirical study, we explore the current security culture in the OSS
development phenomenon using a survey instrument with six evaluation
dimensions: attitude, behavior, competency, subjective norms,
governance, and communication. By exploring the current security culture
in OSS communities, we can start to understand the influence of security
on participants' security behaviors and decision-making, so that we can
make realistic and practical suggestions. In this paper, we present the
measurements of security culture adopted in the study and discuss
corresponding security issues that need to be addressed in OSS
communities.},

Abstract = {In many open source software development communities, a significant
proportion of development is undertaken by a relatively small number of
individuals, the ``core members{''}. The stability and longevity of this
group of most active developers are crucial for the success of the
project. While there has been prior work on identifying key individuals
in open source development, little attention has been devoted to the
identification of cross-cutting core individuals (boundary spanners)
whose responsibilities span across different functional areas of open
source development (e.g., who are involved both in development-centric
activities and user-centric activities). To address this gap, we propose
an approach to identify the core cross-cutting members and their roles
within the community through analyzing email communication repositories.
We use Social Network Analysis (SNA) tools to identify the most active
core members in different forums (that have different focus such as
Python-dev that focuses on language evolution and Python Lists that
focus on user support), and their activities over time, thus identifying
the core developers and their involvement in different community mailing
lists. Based on the involvement of a core developer and the overall
social structure of the network of core developers, we also present an
approach for identifying a potential replacement for a community
administrator that steps down. Using email repositories of six main
Python forums as the case study domain, we computed several social
network analysis metrics to characterize the core developers and their
importance in the Python community.},

users' contribution in OSS communities from a perceived justice
perspective. We adopted a mixed method of structural equation modeling

results indicated that perceived justice, which includes distributive
justice, procedural justice and interactional justice, has significant
effects on trust and satisfaction, both of which further determine
contribution intention. The results imply that OSS communities need to
improve users' perceived justice in order to facilitate their

Abstract = {Software Engineering researchers and practitioners have sought a
systematic way of characterizing technical and social behaviors in
software development, from the perspective of either an artifact (e.g.
design pattern) or an actor (e.g. developer). In this context,
influencers are those who guide the development methods and disseminate
patterns due to their popularity or status in the community. Especially
in software ecosystems, the dynamics of interactions with interventions
of external developers over a common technological platform leverage the
effects of influence and still remains as a challenge. This paper
presents an exploratory study on the sense of influence in open source
software ecosystems, more specifically from the opinions of 95
developers who contribute to npm projects based on GitHub. To do so,
qualitative data from a conducted survey research were analyzed based on
Grounded Theory ( GT) procedures. Based on two main categories
(Technical and Social), we recognized aspects that reinforce some key
characteristics of an influencer, e.g., `status in the project',
`participation with code', `participation with comments', and `content
value'. However, some diverging aspects were observed, e.g., the
difference between qualitative and quantitative responses related to
`long-time interaction with the project'. This study contributes with
the identification of influencers' characteristics that can aid both
researchers in further studies on open source software ecosystems and
practitioners in strategies to manage project-based ecosystems.},

Abstract = {We study the development of two open source software (OSS) web
frameworks to understand how OSS communities shape software novelty and
complexity in the absence of strong organizational hierarchies. We
examine how projects engage in distinct ``discursive modulation
practices{''} to imprint the community's shared core doctrines and
design principles onto the software thereby shaping its novelty and
complexity. We borrow the concept of modulation from audio synthesis to
explain how a preexisting signal-in our case, the ongoing community
discourse-is modulated to produce varying sounds-in our case, the
novelty and complexity of the software. The concept of modulation offers
a lens to understand how emergent, community-wide development activities
are influenced by filtering discursive positions and mixing those
positions, thereby shaping the artifact's novelty and complexity. Our
research shows that the modulation of novelty exhibits a range from
``proximal{''} to ``distal{''} searches for new features, while the
modulation of complexity varies between ``integration{''} and
``deprecation.{''} By drawing on these concepts, we formulate a theory
that explains how modulation results in alternative OSS community
approaches to shaping software novelty and complexity and how this
process reflects and is reflected in the resulting software artifact.},

Abstract = {Source code management systems (such as git) record changes to code
repositories of Open-Source Software (OSS) projects. The metadata about
a change includes a change message to record the intention of the
change. Classification of changes, based on change messages, into
different change types has been explored in the past to understand the
evolution of software systems from the perspective of change size and
change density only. However, software evolution analysis based on
change classification with a focus on change evolution patterns is still
an open research problem. This study examines change messages of 106 OSS
projects, as recorded in the git repository, to explore their
evolutionary patterns with respect to the types of changes performed
over time. An automated keyword-based classifier technique is applied to
the change messages to categorize the changes into various types
(corrective, adaptive, perfective, preventive, and enhancement). Cluster
analysis helps to uncover distinct change patterns that each change type
follows. We identify three categories of 106 projects for each change
type: high activity, moderate activity, and low activity. Evolutionary
behavior is different for projects of different categories. The projects
with high and moderate activity receive maximum changes during 76-81
months of the project lifetime. The project attributes such as the
number of committers, number of files changed, and total number of
commits seem to contribute the most to the change activity of the
projects. The statistical findings show that the change activity of a
project is related to the number of contributors, amount of work done,
and total commits of the projects irrespective of the change type.
Further, we explored languages and domains of projects to correlate
change types with domains and languages of the projects. The statistical
analysis indicates that there is no significant and strong relation of
change types with domains and languages of the 106 projects.},

Abstract = {This paper investigates the contribution of stakeholder collaboration
during an open source software migration using a case study. The case
study is based on the Presidential National Commission, a South African
government department that migrated from proprietary software to open

migrated to open source software as part of a South African government
initiative. The case study consisted of semi-structured interviews with
the participants involved in the migration. The interviews centered on
the contribution of stakeholder collaboration during the software
migration using a boundary critique. The results suggest that
stakeholder collaboration can contribute to open source software
migration. From a managerial perspective, business leaders must
understand the value of stakeholder collaboration in open source
software migration. Boundary critique can be an important tool for

Abstract = {Video-based structural dynamics are becoming increasingly popular on
account of their high spatial resolution and relatively low costs. These
techniques show promise for applications such as structural health
monitoring. However, video-based approaches to measuring structural
dynamics are not as sensitive as on-contact sensor-based techniques.
Furthermore, because video-based techniques involve capturing a 2D
perspective projection of the 3D environment, there is an added
complication in extracting calibrated quantitative measurements from
these systems. In many applications, it would be advantageous to deploy
networks, or arrays of imagers for monitoring large-scale infrastructure
from different perspectives. Often, computer vision techniques, such as
multi-view stereo, benefit from knowledge of the position and
orientation of the cameras. Unfortunately, accurately knowing this
information can lead to increased setup costs. Furthermore, it is not
always clear what arrangement of cameras would be sufficient for any
given infrastructure monitoring applications. In addition, the
performance of arrays of imagers is affected by factors such as lighting
conditions and weather. There may also be significant restrictions on
the physical locations where imagers are allowed to be placed. For these
reasons, it is advantageous to have tools to aid in the design and
development of imager-based sensor networks for structural dynamics
applications. In this work, we demonstrate the use of open-source
computer graphics software for simulating the behavior of imagers
observing dynamic structures. We demonstrate the ability to use these
tools to plan the deployment of imager-based sensor networks to rapidly
test and develop algorithms and techniques for video-based structural
dynamics.},

Title = {A resilience-based framework for assessing the evolution of open source
software projects},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF SOFTWARE-EVOLUTION AND PROCESS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {36},
Number = {5},
Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) has been developing for more than two
decades. It originated as a movement with the introduction of the first
free/libre OSS operating system, became a popular trend among the
developer community, led to enterprise solutions widely embraced by the
global market, and began garnering attention from significant players in
the software industry (such as IBM's acquisition of RedHat). Throughout
the years, numerous software assessment models have been suggested, some
of which were created specifically for OSS projects. Most of these
assessment models focus on software quality and maintainability. Some
models are taking under consideration health aspects of OSS projects.
Despite the multitude of these models, there is yet to be a universally
accepted model for assessing OSS projects. In this work, we aim to adapt
the City Resilience Framework (CRF) for use in OSS projects to establish
a strong theoretical foundation for OSS evaluation focusing on the
project's resilience as it evolves over time. We would like to highlight
that our goal with the proposed assessment model is not to compare two
OSS solutions with each other, in terms of resilience, or even do a
resilience ranking between the available OSS tools. We are aiming to
investigate resilience of an OSS project as it evolves and identify
possible opportunities of improvements in the four dimensions we are
defining. These dimensions are as follows: source code, business and
legal, integration and reuse, and social (community). The CRF is a
framework that was introduced to measure urban resilience and most
specifically how cities' resilience is changing as they evolve. We
believe that a software evaluation model that focuses on resilience can
complement the pre-existing models based on software quality and
software health. Although concepts that are related to resilience, like
sustainability or viability, already appear in literature, to our best
knowledge, there is no OSS assessment model that evaluates the
resilience of an OSS project. We argue that cities and OSS projects are
both dynamically evolving systems with similar characteristics. The
proposed framework utilizes both quantitative and qualitative
indicators, which is viewed as an advantage. Lastly, we would like to
emphasize that the framework has been tested on the enterprise software
domain as part of this study, evaluating five major versions of six OSS
projects, Laravel, Composer, PHPMyAdmin, OKApi, PatternalPHP, and
PHPExcel, the first three of which are intuitively considered resilient
and the three latter nonresilient, to provide a preliminary validation
of the models' ability to distinguish between resilient and not
resilient projects.},

different social tie structures on developers' overall productivity to
OSS projects. We first analyze the general structure of the social
networks, e.g., graph distances and the degree distribution of the
social networks. Our analysis confirms that the social networks of OSS
communities follow power-law degree distributions and exhibit
small-world characteristics. However, the degree mixing pattern shows
that high degree nodes tend to connect more with low degree nodes,
suggesting collaborations between experts and newbie developers. Second,
we study the correlation between graph degrees and the productivity of
the contributors in terms of the amount of contribution and commitment
to OSS projects. The analysis demonstrates evident influence of the
social ties on the developers' overall productivity.},

systems must evolve to conform to these requirements. The model which
currently address this kind of concern is SOA (Service Oriented
Architecture). This article deals with the reuse of ADempiere within the
framework of the implementation of a service oriented ERP. To operate
the migration of the existing code, firstly we reconstituted the
architecture of this ERP. This operation made it possible to acquire the
technical knowledge necessary to develop services by injection of
dependence. The new software resulting from this operation distinctly
separates the presentation tier from the back-end. The back-end tier
exposes a set of Web services which encapsulates the code of ADempiere.
These services can either be in a synchronous way throughout the Spring
XFire technology, or in an asynchronous way through Apache ActiveMQ
technology.},

processes, particularly those pertaining to continuous vulnerability
detection. A cybersecurity vulnerability scanner was developed, which is
freely available to the community and does not necessitate any prior
expertise from the operator. The effectiveness of this tool was
evaluated by IT companies and systems engineers, some of whom had no
background in cybersecurity. The findings indicate that the scanner
proved to be efficient, precise, and easy to use. It assisted the
operators in safeguarding their systems in an automated fashion, as part
of their security audit strategy.},

Abstract = {A developer's reputation in the OSS community is determined by all the
evaluations received from his or her peers. While a large body of
studies focuses on the importance of developers' reputations in their
participation motivations, there is still lack of understanding for two
issues. First, which factors can lead to a high developer's reputation?
Second, how does the overall reputation of the developers' in a project
impact project success? In this study, we develop a theoretical model
and conduct an empirical analysis in a large online open source
community. The results show that a developer's reputation level is
determined by his or her 1) coding quality, 2) the deviation of the
commitment behavior, 3) community experience, and 4) collaboration
experience. In addition, we find that the group with an overall higher
level of reputation would achieve a better performance, while the
individual reputation level deviation within the group would impair its
technical success. The implications of our findings and the future
research directions are then discussed. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All

Abstract = {Traditional Software Engineering (SE) courses often prioritize
methodologies and concepts in small, controlled environments: naive
projects used as a proof of concept instead of full-fledged real
software systems. Although this strategy has clear benefits, it does not
place enough care in training students to face complex, non-trivial
legacy software projects. To bridge this gap, novel SE courses are
leveraging the rich variety of open-source software (OSS) projects to
illustrate how these methodologies and concepts are applied to existing,
non-trivial software systems. To better understand the benefits,
challenges, and opportunities of this transition, in this paper, we
interview seven SE professors that changed their academic setting to
aspire students to comprehend, maintain, and evolve OSS systems as part
of their SE course. We found that there are different ways to make use
of OSS projects in SE courses in terms of project choice, assessment,
and learning goals. Moreover, we evidence clear benefits of this
approach, including improving students' social and technical skills, and
helping students enhancing their resume. Also, we observed that this
strategy comes with costs: the activity demands effort and time from the
professor and the barrier for one getting involved with and, therefore,
placing a meaningful contribution, in an OSS community is often high.},

research domain for decades. The evolutions in RE over the years have
improved them considerably but still many anomalies exist. It is
especially true for the case of Open Source Software Development (OSSD)

problems and extreme participant heterogeneity, the usual methods of
ambiguity resolution do not seem to cater needs of OSSD community. For
this purpose, various interdisciplinary mechanisms can be used to aid
the community members and reach a consensus based agreement along with
reaching unambiguous requirements sets. A framework is proposed for
resolving the burdening problems of OSSD context. Framework components

Abstract = {Most requirements engineering (RE) research has been conducted in the
context of structured and agile software development. Software, however,
is increasingly developed in open source software (OSS) forms which have
several unique characteristics. In this study, we approach OSS RE as a
sociotechnical, distributed cognitive process where distributed actors
``compute{''} requirements- i.e., transform requirements-related
knowledge into forms that foster a shared understanding of what the
software is going to do and how it can be implemented. Such computation
takes place through social sharing of knowledge and the use of
heterogeneous artifacts. To illustrate the value of this approach, we
conduct a case study of a popular OSS project, Rubinius-a runtime
environment for the Ruby programming language-and identify ways in which
cognitive workload associated with RE becomes distributed socially,
structurally, and temporally across actors and artifacts. We generalize
our observations into an analytic framework of OSS RE, which delineates
three stages of requirements computation: excavation, instantiation, and
testing-in-the-wild. We show how the distributed, dynamic, and
heterogeneous computational structure underlying OSS development builds
an effective mechanism for managing requirements. Our study contributes
to sorely needed theorizing of appropriate RE processes within highly
distributed environments as it identifies and articulates several novel
mechanisms that undergird cognitive processes associated with
distributed forms of RE.},

Abstract = {Global software engineering (GSE) courses traditionally require
cooperation between at least two universities so as to provide a
distributed development environment to the students. In this study, we
explore an alternative way to organize a global software engineering
course where students work on open source software development (OSSD)
projects rather than in a multi-university collaboration setting. The
results show that the new setup may provide core GSE challenges as well
as challenges associated with software development outsourcing and
challenges related to working on large open source software. The present
article compares the experiences gained from running a combined GSE and
OSSD course against the experiences gained from running a traditional
GSE course. The two alternatives are compared in terms of students'
learning outcomes and course organization. The authors found that a
combined GSE and OSSD course provides learning opportunities that are
partly overlapping with, and partly complementary to, a traditional GSE
course. The authors also found that the combined OSSD and GSE course was
somewhat easier to organize because most of the activities took place in
a single university setting. The authors used the extended GSE taxonomy
for the comparison and found it to be a useful tool for this, although
it had some limitations in expressive power. Therefore, two additional

Abstract = {One of the puzzling aspects of open-source software (OSS) development is
its public good nature. Individual developers contribute to developing
the software, but do not hold the copyright to appropriate its value.
This raises questions regarding motives behind such effort. We provide
an integrated model of developers' incentives to describe OSS
development and compare restrictive OSS licenses that force all
modifications to be kept open with non-restrictive OSS licenses that
allow proprietary ownership of modified works. Different incentives
govern effort provision at different stages of the software development
process. We show that open-source licenses can provide socially valuable
software when a proprietary license fails to do so. We also show that
restrictive OSS licenses generate greater effort provision in the design
stage of software development relative to non-restrictive licenses.
Endogenizing licensing choice, we find that a project leader chooses a
non-restrictive OSS license if reputational concerns drive developers'
incentives, a proprietary license when there is a large population of
users in the market and a restrictive OSS license if user population is
small but reputational benefit is high. Our results resonate well with
empirical findings and suggest additional testable implications about
the relationship between licensing and software project characteristics.
Finally, we also find that the market under-provides restrictive OSS
licenses relative to the efficient level, suggesting the need for
subsidizing restrictive licenses in some cases.},

Abstract = {Free and open source software activities involve and, perhaps, evolve
institutions (rules, norms and standards) that influence the formation,
growth, and demise of communities. Community institutions are attractors
for some individuals while discouraging other individuals from entering
or continuing to participate. Their suitability may change as a
community grows. This paper examines the institutions of the Debian
community where issues of community identity, distribution of authority,
and decentralisation have facilitated growth and development. These same
institutions have also resulted in conflicts regarding community
purposes and the quality and delivery of the community's output. We
examine the institutional redesign undertaken to address these problems
and derive implications for F/LOS communities and companies. (C) 2008

Abstract = {This paper analyzes the impact on social welfare of government policies
supporting open source software (OSS). Mass-market consumers can be
divided between those who are informed about the existence of OSS and
those who are uninformed. Since OSS producers have little incentive to
advertise, there may be a substantial mass of uniformed consumers,
leading to market failures that may justify government intervention. We
study three government policies: (a) mandated adoption, whereby the
government forces public agencies, schools, and universities to adopt
OSS, (b) information provision, whereby the government informs the
uninformed users about the existence and the characteristics of OSS, and
(c) subsidy, whereby the government makes a payment to consumers if they
adopt OSS. We show that mandated adoption and information provision may
increase social welfare, but the subsidy always reduces it. When network
externalities are added to the model, we show that mandated adoption and
information provision may increase social welfare if they help the
market to tip towards standardization.},

conduct several air mass analyses. It appears to be a powerful,
versatile software package developed to meet the needs of researchers
using python and C++ in order to facilitate and speed up working time.
This software seamlessly integrates new models for source identification
based on air trajectories and ambient air pollution concentration data
and enhances certain existing ones. Beyond source identification, it
offers a rich array of functionalities for making it automatic, quick
and easy to get access many kinds data including gridded meteorological
data, trajectory calculations, synoptic parameter extraction from
back-trajectories. All this functionalities can be used through a
user-friendly graphical interface. Open-AMA can be a significant leap
forward in air quality research and analysis, empowering researchers
with the tools they need to make informed decisions and address pressing
environmental and public health challenges and enhance understanding of
pollutant origins in the atmosphere.},

Abstract = {This paper overviews Mancoosi, an European project in the 7th Research
Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission, on managing
software complexity. The focus of the project has been on managing the

the removal of software packages. The project has two main objectives:
(i) develop a model-based approach to safely support the upgrade of FOSS
systems, (ii) develop better algorithms and tools to plan upgrade paths
based on various information sources about software packages and on
optimization criteria.
The paper focuses on the first objective of the project. The main result
of this objective is an approach that promotes the simulation of
upgrades to predict failures before affecting the real system. Both
fine-grained static aspects (e. g., configuration incoherences) and
dynamic aspects (e. g., the execution of configuration scripts) are
taken into account, improving over the state of the art of package
managers.},

Abstract = {The widespread dependency on open-source software makes it a fruitful
target for malicious actors, as demonstrated by recurring attacks. The
complexity of today's opensource supply chains results in a significant
attack surface, giving attackers numerous opportunities to reach the
goal of injecting malicious code into open-source artifacts that is then
downloaded and executed by victims.
This work proposes a general taxonomy for attacks on opensource supply
chains, independent of specific programming languages or ecosystems, and
covering all supply chain stages from code contributions to package
distribution. Taking the form of an attack tree, it covers 107 unique
vectors, linked to 94 realworld incidents, and mapped to 33 mitigating
safeguards. User surveys conducted with 17 domain experts and 134
software developers positively validated the correctness,
comprehensiveness and comprehensibility of the taxonomy, as well as its
suitability for various use-cases. Survey participants also assessed the
utility and costs of the identified safeguards, and whether they are
used.},

Abstract = {Prior network-based research on open source software (OSS) development
has focused on the benefit of network ties and assumed all network ties
play the same role. We adopt a fine-grained view of network relations to
investigate the impact of network ties on the success of OSS
development. Through examining the development of OSS projects hosted by
SourceForge, we find that co-membership among project teams is an
effective mechanism for building network ties, through which knowledge
and expertise flows across projects in OSS community and, therefore,
contributes to the success of OSS development. However, network ties
among projects not only confer benefit, but also incur various cost, and
due to the different growth patterns of cost and benefit, network ties
have a diminishing return to project success. In addition, we find
network ties of leader-follower type and follower-leader type are more
beneficial to OSS success than other types of ties, and network ties
connecting to projects of later development stages are more beneficial
than those connecting to projects of earlier stages. Our study provides
useful guidelines and suggestions as to how to leverage the knowledge
and expertise of others for successful development of OSS projects. (C)

robust measures for trust based on the behaviors of developers in the
community. To this end, we contribute a process for decomposing trust in
a complex large-scale system into key trust relationships,
systematically identifying behavior-based indicators for the components
of trust for a given relationship, and in turn operationalizing
data-driven metrics for those indicators, allowing for the wide-scale
measurement of trust in practice.},

is the Open Source initiative, in which projects are boosted to a new
level of interaction and cooperation that improves their software
quality and reliability.
In order to understand how the group of contributors interacts with the
software under development, we propose a novel methodology that adapts
Lotka-Volterra-based biological models used for host-parasite
interaction. In that sense, we used the concept mutualism from social
parasites.
Preliminary results based on experiments on the Github collaborative
platform showed that Open Source phenomena can be modeled as a
mutualistic system, in terms of the evolution of the population of
developers and repositories.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) products are widely used although a general
consensus on their quality is far to be reached. Providing results on
OSS reliability - as quality indicator contributes to shed some light on
this issue and allows organizations to make informed decisions in
adopting OSS products or in releasing their own OSS. In this paper, we
use a classical technique of Software Reliability Growth to model
failures occurrences across versions. We have collected data from the
bug tracking systems of three OSS products, Mozilla Firefox, OpenSuse
and OpenOffice.org. Our analysis aims at determining and discussing
patterns of failure occurrences in the three OSS products to be used to
predict reliability behaviour of future releases. Our findings indicate
that in the three cases, failures occurrences follow a predetermined
pattern, which shows: a) an initial stage in which the community learns
the new version b) after this first period a rapid increase of the
failure detection rate until c) very few failures are left and the
discovery of a new failure discovery is rare. This is the stage in which
the version can be considered reliable.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) projects have long been studied to understand
the need of community support for their growth and survival. However,
there has been limited research on developers' abandonment, though it is
found to have detrimental effect on quality and sustainability of OSS
projects. This paper examines the impact of developer and
project-related factors on developer abandonment in OSS projects.
Factors include developer attributes: experience, role, coding language,
and joining date, and project attributes: change complexity and
sentiments in commit logs. The findings are (1) for developer
experience, core/non-core member, and joining date; there exists a
pattern of developers abandoning the projects. (2) There is no definite
answer for coding language. (3) It does not relate to the change profile
of a project except a few indicators. Sentiments can also not be linked.
These results provide OSS community and researchers with useful insights
on developer abandonment and the factors influencing it or not.},

Abstract = {Case-Based Learning (CBL) is a teaching methodology based on discussing
and analyzing real world problems and solutions. A case is like a story,
related to a real world situation that sources a number of challenging
problems, which have no obvious solutions. There have been various
applications of CBL in the fields of Medicine, Law, and Business.
However, there are a limited number of evidences related to the
application of CBL in the field of Software Engineering (SE). In this
paper, we present an open source web application called SEABED (Software
Engineering Case-Based Learning Database). The feature set supported by
SEABED comprises Case Submission, Case Collection, Case Search, Case
Review, and Case Evolution. SEABED aims to develop and evolve a rich
repository of SE cases that might become a basis for enabling the
students, instructors, practitioners, and experts to enhance their SE
knowledge in an effective way. Further, we present our approach to build
a vibrant SE case-based learning community that triggers enough activity
around SEABED, required for the platform to reach a critical and wider
mass. We communicated with several SE educators around the world and
received positive responses on SEABED. In order to investigate the
effectiveness of the CBL methodology followed by SEABED, we conducted an
experimental study at an Institute of National Importance in India. We
present the empirical analysis results of this study and explore the
impact of CBL on students' learning abilities.},

Abstract = {An influx of newcomers is critical to the survival, long-term success,
and continuity of many Open Source Software (OSS) community-based
projects. However, newcomers face many barriers when making their first
contribution, leading in many cases to dropouts. Due to the
collaborative nature of community-based OSS projects, newcomers may be
susceptible to social barriers, such as communication breakdowns and
reception issues. In this article, we report a two-phase study aimed at
better understanding social barriers faced by newcomers. In the first
phase, we qualitatively analyzed the literature and data collected from
practitioners to identify barriers that hinder newcomers' first
contribution. We designed a model composed of 58 barriers, including 13
social barriers. In the second phase, based on the barriers model, we
developed FLOSScoach, a portal to support newcomers making their first
contribution. We evaluated the portal in a diary-based study and found
that the portal guided the newcomers and reduced the need for
communication. Our results provide insights for communities that want to
support newcomers and lay a foundation for building better onboarding
tools. The contributions of this paper include identifying and gathering
empirical evidence of social barriers faced by newcomers; understanding
how social barriers can be reduced or avoided by using a portal that
organizes proper information for newcomers (FLOSScoach); presenting
guidelines for communities and newcomers on how to reduce or avoid
social barriers; and identifying new streams of research.},

impacts of changes to these agreements. We might also ask these same
questions regarding the licenses governing how individuals and groups

Abstract = {Fast digitalization of the power grids and the adoption of innovative

sectors, such as telecommunication or cloud computing, open-source
software has already proven capable of transforming entire industries,
by speeding up development and lowering development costs while
achieving high levels of stability, interoperability, and security.
However, the energy sector has not yet embraced open-source software to
the same level. We discuss how existing open-source software principles
can be applied to the unique challenges of the energy sector during the
transition towards higher penetration of renewable energy resources. To
provide an overview of the current state of the open-source software
landscape, we collected and analyzed 388 open-source projects, in terms
of project activities, community composition, relevant licenses, and
commonly used programming languages. One finding was that the majority
of projects are currently driven by academic contributors, but that
commercial players do also play a role, and we identify positive
examples of collaboration between the two, mostly related to
standardization.},

influence of how they share knowledge with other community members. We
use the examples of two open source software firms in New Zealand to
ground the empirical inspiration of our paper and to illustrate our key
ideas and arguments. We discuss the knowledge governance challenges
imposed by employees' dual allegiance and how managers of open source

Abstract = {Image-Guided Neurosurgery (IGNS) systems use a set of techniques that
help students and specialists in learning and planning of surgeries. The
use of existing software for image-guided neurosurgery for applications
in the area of education is limited because of its high cost. For this
reason and due to the emergence of new tools based on open source
software, reliable algorithms have been developed; these algorithms are
able to provide a satisfactory user experience in the use of surgical
simulators when compared with to commercial systems. This paper presents
the development of two visualization methods useful in neurosurgical
training and planning. The first allows the manipulation of volumes
through cuts based on regular geometry, while the second allows the
visualization of structures through cuts oblique planes. These were
developed in 3D Slicer and applied to magnetic resonance imaging for
evaluating performance, according to the very needs of the real
neurosurgical domain.},

(AOSP) to understand whether code changes that introduce security
vulnerabilities, referred to as vulnerable code changes (VCC), occur at
certain intervals. Using a systematic manual analysis process, we
identified 60 VCCs. Our results suggest that AOSP developers were more
likely to write VCCs prior to AOSP releases, while during the
post-release period they wrote fewer VCCs.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) projects and communities are becoming
increasingly popular and influential recently. Communications and
collaborations are essential for the success of projects. Usually, the
most active and productive programmers are awarded with promotion to
developers. To more effectively manage and progress the projects, it is
important and beneficial to rank the programmers and thus, predict the
developer candidates. In this work, we propose to combine machine
learning techniques with existing complex network node ranking
algorithms to improve the prediction results. Specifically, we have made
the following contributions: (1), we have designed a novel machine
learning-based classifier with significantly improved prediction
performance; (2), we have constructed and tested various networks built
based on the programmer email communication information; and (3), we
have used real-world project data to compare different techniques and
validate our methods. Experimental results demonstrate that our
technique reduces the error rate by 25\% compared with the second best.
Moreover, we discover that the KK nearest neighbor (KNN)-based machine
learning algorithm and non-directional temporal network with a time
window of 1-3 months give the best prediction results.},

Abstract = {With the emergence of Web 2.0, an online platform which encourages
online creation of next generation tools, communication has become a
nigh-indispensable tool for researchers. Allowing them to acquire,
spread, and share research achievements, with a free flow of ideas
online. At present, there are a growing number of studies on
non-traditional evaluation indicators, but there is much fewer research
focused on the software evaluation, especially for open source research
software. What this research focuses on is; with the use of the open
source project `Depsy', this research evaluated and analyzed data
collected from downloads made online through these open source software.
Altmetrics cannot be confined to traditional measurable indicators. That
the importance of the open source software used, and its position in the
online community is itself a strong measure for academic impact and
success, which is all too often overlooked in research. The research can
also conclude that the multiplexing of software online, through the
citation of a citation, ultimately leads to an online peered review
system within the community, effectively developing and maintaining
through open use software itself. Moreover, the benefits of such a
system has only just begun to come to fruition, having a strong impact
on academic research, and predicting research impact.},

Abstract = {Selecting an appropriate task is challenging for newcomers to Open
Source Software (OSS) projects. Therefore, researchers and OSS projects
have proposed strategies to label tasks (a.k.a. issues). Several
approaches relying on machine learning techniques, historical
information, and textual analysis have been submitted. However, the
results vary, and these approaches are still far from mainstream
adoption, possibly because of a lack of good predictors. Inspired by
previous research, we advocate that the prediction models might benefit
from leveraging social metrics.
In this research, we investigate how to assist the new contributors in
finding a task when onboarding a new project. To achieve our goal, we
predict the skills needed to solve an open issue by labeling them with
the categories of APIs declared in the source code (API-domain labels)
that should be updated or implemented. Starting from a case study using
one project and an empirical experiment, we found the API-domain labels
were relevant to select an issue for a contribution. In the sequence, we
investigated employing interviews and a survey of what strategies
maintainers the strategies believe the communities have to adopt to
assist the new contributors in finding a task. We also studied how
maintainers think about new contributors' strategies to pick a task. We
found maintainers, frequent contributors, and new contributors diverge
about the importance of the communities and new contributors'
strategies.
The ongoing research works in three directions: 1) generalization of the
approach, 2) Use of conversation data metrics for predictions, 3)
Demonstration of the approach, and 4) Matching contributors and tasks
skills.
By addressing the lack of knowledge about the skills in tasks, we hope
to assist new contributors in picking tasks with more confidence.},

Abstract = {Free and open source software has gained a lot of momentum in the
industry and the research community. Open source licenses determine the
rules, under which the open source software can be further used and

platforms, examining developers specific licensing views for specific
software. However, the questions practitioners ask about licenses and
licensing as captured in Question and Answer websites also constitute an
important aspect toward understanding practitioners general licenses and
licensing concerns. In this paper, we investigate open source license
discussions using data from the Software Engineering, Open Source and
Law Stack Exchange sites that contain relevant data. We describe the
process used for the data collection and analysis, and discuss the main
results that can be useful for developers, educators and license
authors. Our results indicate that clarifications about specific
licenses and specific license terms are required.},

Abstract = {In this paper, I discuss how gift economy tenets exist within capitalist
systems and in what ways the alternative logic of gift economies could
be used within capitalist firms to create a more fair economy overall,
citing open source software within the technology sector as one example.
To do this, I begin by striking a dialectic between John Milbank's
theological and David Graeber's anthropological conceptions of gift
economies, illuminating crucial aspects of each to uncover what
alternative economic principles are applicable to standard capitalist
economic ideologies.
I then turn to a practical application of where these gift economy
ideologies are already being utilized to a degree, arguing specifically
that open source software provides an alternative economic logic for
countless members of the technology sector. On a broad level, I hope to
show that capitalism provides the means to alter itself within its own
ethos, as certain economic ideologies like gift economies - could
potentially assuage those economic models that contribute to economic
inequality. By accentuating these alternative logics within technology
firms, they can be expanded and made more substantial, subsequently
altering capitalism from the inside out.},

Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {The open source software (OSS) movement thrives on innovation and
volunteer effort of developers. Scholars have expressed widespread
concern about the sustainability of the OSS movement due to high levels
of volunteerism. In this paper, we address a central challenge to the
sustainability of OSS-developers' acceptance of monetary rewards. We
strive to explain why some OSS developers accept monetary rewards and
others do not. Viewed through the theoretical lens of the
private-collective innovation model (Von Hippel and Von Krogh, 2003,
2006), this allows us to describe when developers will accept private
financial rewards. Our main research objective is to clearly map the web
of relationships between causal antecedents, and developers' acceptance
behavior. Using a unique dataset that combines survey and behavioral
measures, we find that - (a) intention to accept monetary rewards
mediates the impact of motivational elements on developers' acceptance
of monetary rewards; (b) intrinsic and extrinsic motivations positively
affect their intention to accept monetary rewards, community motivation
negatively impacts intention and ideological motivation does not affect
the intention to accept rewards and (c) these effects are obtained even
after inclusion of several control variables. The theoretical and
managerial implications of our work are described. (C) 2013 Elsevier

Abstract = {OpenMP, a widely adopted standard for shared memory parallel
programming, is known for its simplicity and portability, making it
accessible to programmers across various domains, not just HPC experts.
This study aims at providing an overview of the current practice of
OpenMP usage in open source projects. We focus our study on the
considerations necessary for efficient OpenMP usage, as parallelizing an
application with OpenMP comes with a certain overhead necessary for
thread creation and management.
For this purpose, we developed a binary analysis tool that automatically
estimates the complexity of a parallel region allowing a comparison with
the complexity of thread creation and management overhead in bluk. We
applied this tool on a large set of 537 open source applications.
Specifically, we want to answer the question: ``To what extent is the
usage of OpenMP in general following known good practices from the HPC
community?{''} In particular, we find that 45\% of projects contain at
least one example of a rather simple parallel region. In these cases, it
is questionable whether parallelization is worth the overhead necessary
for thread creation and management. We also observe from the codes
analysed that the style of using OpenMP apparently did not change over
the last decade.

Abstract = {COTS software products are developed extensively on top of OSS projects,
resulting in OSS reuse vulnerabilities. To detect such vulnerabilities,
finding OSS reuses in COTS software has become imperative. While
scalable to tens of thousands of OSS projects, existing binary-to-source
matching approaches are severely imprecise in analyzing COTS software
products, since they support only a limited number of code features,
compute matching scores only approximately in measuring OSS reuses, and
neglect the code structures in OSS projects.
We introduce a novel binary-to-source matching approach, called
B2SFINDER1, to address these limitations. First of all, B2SFINDER can
reason about seven kinds of code features that are traceable in both
binary and source code. In order to compute matching scores precisely,
B2SFINDER employs a weighted feature matching algorithm that combines
three matching methods (for dealing with different code features) with
two importance-weighting methods (for computing the weight of an
instance of a code feature in a given COTS software application based on
its specificity and occurrence frequency). Finally, B2SFINDER identifies
different types of code reuses based on matching scores and code
structures of OSS projects. We have implemented B2SFINDER using an
optimized data structure. We have evaluated B2SFINDER using 21991
binaries from 1000 popular COTS software products and 2189 candidate OSS
projects. Our experimental results show that B2SFINDER is not only
precise but also scalable. Compared with the state of the art, B2SFINDER
has successfully found up to 2.15x as many reuse cases in 53.85 seconds
per binary file on average. We also discuss how B2SFINDER can be
leveraged in detecting OSS reuse vulnerabilities in practice.},

Title = {Quantitative diffusion measurements using the open-source software
PyFRAP},
Journal = {NATURE COMMUNICATIONS},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {9},
Month = {APR 20},
Abstract = {Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) and inverse FRAP
(iFRAP) assays can be used to assess the mobility of fluorescent
molecules. These assays measure diffusion by monitoring the return of
fluorescence in bleached regions (FRAP), or the dissipation of
fluorescence from photoconverted regions (iFRAP). However, current
FRAP/iFRAP analysis methods suffer from simplified assumptions about
sample geometry, bleaching/photo-conversion inhomogeneities, and the
underlying reaction-diffusion kinetics. To address these shortcomings,
we developed the software PyFRAP, which fits numerical simulations of
three-dimensional models to FRAP/iFRAP data and accounts for
bleaching/photoconversion inhomogeneities. Using PyFRAP we determined
the diffusivities of fluorescent molecules spanning two orders of
magnitude in molecular weight. We measured the tortuous effects that
cell-like obstacles exert on effective diffusivity and show that
reaction kinetics can be accounted for by model selection. These
applications demonstrate the utility of PyFRAP, which can be widely
adapted as a new extensible standard for FRAP analysis.},

Abstract = {With software systems becoming increasingly large and complex, many
difficulties in coping with software bugs arise for developers. Despite
good development practices, thorough testing, and proper maintenance
policies, a non-negligible number of bugs remain in the released
software. Understanding the type of residual bugs is fundamental for
adopting proper countermeasures in current and future software releases.
Depending on the fault triggering conditions that lead to a failure,
developers can introduce fault-tolerance mechanisms and plan
verification and validation strategies.
In this paper, we analyze bugs in four large open-source software
systems during their lifecycle, based on the concept of fault triggers.
We first investigate how the type of system affects the bug type
proportions, and their evolution over years. Then, an analysis of bug
subtypes is performed, so as to better understand their nature, followed
by a comparison with respect to attributes such as their average time to
fix and severity.},

Abstract = {Open source tools have recently reached a level of maturity which makes
them suitable for building large-scale real-world systems. At the same
time, the field of machine learning has developed a large body of
powerful learning algorithms for diverse applications. However, the true
potential of these methods is not used, since existing implementations
are not openly shared, resulting in software with low usability, and
weak interoperability. We argue that this situation can be significantly
improved by increasing incentives for researchers to publish their
software under an open source model. Additionally, we outline the
problems authors are faced with when trying to publish algorithmic
implementations of machine learning methods. We believe that a resource
of peer reviewed software accompanied by short articles would be highly
valuable to both the machine learning and the general scientific
community.},

Journal = {JOURNAL OF SOFTWARE-EVOLUTION AND PROCESS},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {35},
Number = {1},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {Software engineering (SE) methodologies are widely used in both academia
and industry to manage the software development life cycle. A number of
studies of SE methodologies involve interviewing stakeholders to explore
the real-world practice. Although these interview-based studies provide
us with a user's perspective of an organization's practice, they do not
describe the concrete summary of releases in open-source social coding
platforms. In particular, no existing studies investigated how releases
are evolved in open-source coding platforms, which assist release
planners to a large extent. This study explores software development
patterns followed in open-source projects to see the overall
management's reflection on software release decisions rather than
concentrating on a particular methodology. Our experiments on 51
software origins (with 1777k revisions and 12k releases) from the
Software Heritage Graph Dataset (SWHGD) and their GitHub project boards
(with 23k cards) reveal reasonably active project management with phase
simplicity can release software versions more frequently and can follow
the small release conventions of Extreme Programming. Additionally, the
study also reveals that a combination of development and management
activities can be applied to predict the possible number of software
releases in a month (rho< 0:05).},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) is usually developed by heterogeneous groups
of people, each with their own interests, motivations and abilities.
Therefore, it is important to establish the best software development
and contributing practices early in the life-time of the project. Such
practices should foster the contributors' involvement in the OSS project
as quickly as possible. The sustainability of an OSS project is heavily
based on the underlying community of contributors and on the knowledge
and skills they bring to the project and they acquire and develop
through their participation in the project and interaction with the
project community. Therefore, identifying and investigating
contributors' learning processes is an important research area in OSS.
This survey paper presents an overview of open source learning methods
in order to explore how community interaction impacts the development
and application of OSS learning processes in other areas, especially in
education. It is argued that collaboration with peers and consistent
code contributions result in learning progress in OSS. Typical research
in this area is based on case by case analysis, whereas this survey
tries to highlight and combine the outcomes of several research
contributions from the literature.},

become a growing trend in the IT software industry. Unlike the general
commercial software, open source software leverages the capability of
the communities to improve the quality, but also reduce the cost of

of applying open source software in software reuse. We begin by
proposing our framework for enhancing the open source software usage and
then set out to determine the influence factors of software reuse. A
reuse system based on our proposed framework is implemented. For the
assessment, a questionnaire survey and analysis of 20 software projects
are carried out to evaluate our approach. There are 50 experienced
corresponding project managers and developers participating in our
experiments. The assessment shows that reuse factors of projects

Abstract = {Many researchers have pointed out that the open source movement is an
interesting phenomenon that is difficult to explain with conventional
economic theories. However, while there is no shortage on research on
individuals' motivation for contributing to open source, few have
investigated the commercial companies' motivations for doing the same. A
case study was conducted at three different companies from the IT
service industry, to investigate three possible drivers: sale of
complimentary services, innovation and opensourcing (outsourcing). We
offer three conclusions.
First, we identified three main drivers for contributing to open source,
which are (a) selling complimentary services, (b) building greater
innovative capability and (c) cost reduction through opensourcing to an
external community. Second, while previous research has documented that
the most important driver is selling complimentary services, we found
that this picture is too simple. Our evidence points to a broader set of
motivations, in the sense that all our cases exhibit combinations of the
three drivers. Finally, our findings suggest that there might be a shift
in how commercial companies view open source software. The companies
interviewed have all expressed a moral obligation to contribute to open
source. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

To validate such claims, researchers have conducted case studies of

the FreeBSD project provides further understanding of open source
development. The FreeBSD development process is fairly well-defined with
proscribed methods for determining developer responsibilities, dealing
with enhancements and defects, and for managing releases. Compared to
the Apache project, FreeBSD uses a smaller set of core developers that
implement a smaller portion of the system, and uses a more well-defined
testing process. FreeBSD and Apache have a similar ratio of core
developers to (1) people involved in adapting and debugging the system,
and (2) people who report problems. Both systems have similar defect
densities, and the developers are also users in both systems.},

Abstract = {Competition from open source software and free software (OSS/FS)

perspectives on software pricing and piracy controls have been addressed
extensively, consumers' perspective and willingness to pay for

determines willingness to pay for a leading commercial software
application (Microsoft Office) in the presence of an OSS/FS alternative.
A contingent valuation approach is used to elicit willingness to pay for
the application. The research design employs a 2 x 2 x 2 experiment to
investigate the impact of preventive control, deterrence control, and
OSS/FS alternative. The results indicate that the availability of an
OSS/FS alternative has little impact on willingness to pay for Microsoft
Office. However, piracy controls significantly increase willingness to
pay for Microsoft Office, even in the presence of OSS/FS alternatives.},

Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {Open-source software development is the next stage in the evolution of
product development, particularly software products. Compared with the
prevailing proprietary approaches, open-source software products are
developed by co-opting external developers and prospective users.
Although a core group of developers might still play a key role in the
initial design and development, a notable aspect of the open-source
software paradigm is the role of peripheral developers in the
enhancement and popularization of the product. Peripheral developers are
not formal members of the core development team. They voluntarily
contribute their time and creative talent in improving the quality of
the product or in popularizing the product through word-of-mouth
advocacy. As volunteers, they are not subject to the traditional
hierarchical controls, nor are they contractually obligated. Peripheral
developers represent a novel and unique aspect of open-source software
development, and there is a greater interest in tapping their potential.
However, there has been limited evidence about how and when their
participation has beneficial impacts. We examine how peripheral
developers contribute to product quality and diffusion by utilizing
longitudinal data on 147 open-source software products. Hierarchical
linear modeling analysis indicates that peripheral developers make
significant contributions to product quality and diffusion, especially
on projects that are in the more mature stages of product development.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software's (OSS) have been existing since decades. Several
organizations around the globe are joining the notion to build with Open
Source Model. They are finding open source as an attractive and
practical alternative to proprietary software. Price tag of Open Source
Software is very appealing. It can be inspected, modified, and freely
redistributed. So several major organizations are considering to move to
open source alternatives. Our work is an effort to provide a complete
feedback based model to the client. Using proposed model client can

Abstract = {Open source software is becoming increasingly prominent, and the
economic structure of open-source development is changing. In recent
years, firms motivated by revenues from software services markets have
become the primary contributors to open-source development. In this
paper we study the role of services in open source software development
and explore the choice between open source and proprietary software.
Specifically, our economic model jointly analyzes the investment and
pricing decisions of the originators of software and of subsequent
open-source contributors.
We find that if a contributor is efficient in software development, the
originator should adopt an open-source strategy, allowing the
contributor to offer higher total quality and capture the higher end of
the market while the originator focuses on providing software services
to lower end consumers. Conversely, if the contributor is not efficient
in development, the originator should adopt a proprietary software
development strategy, gaining revenue from software sales and squeezing
the contributor out of the services market. In certain cases an increase
in originator development efficiency can result in increased contributor
profits. Finally, we find that, somewhat counterintuitively, an increase
in contributor development efficiency can reduce overall social welfare.},

Abstract = {Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is an emerging software engineering
methodology, which has been used to assist in the removal of
crosscutting concerns from traditional methods of software development.
As an example, software used to determine whether a user has appropriate
security clearance might be scattered throughout the many modules, which
require this check. Utilising AOP, ``aspects{''} are ``woven{''} into
the software either in a ``static{''} method, during compilation, or a
``dynamic{''} method while the program is executing. The ``join
points{''} in a program are the points where these aspects are applied.
The ``aspect{''} code is written once and ``woven{''} in to the modules
at join points. Typical aspects involve logging changes to a database
and monitoring memory usage. Our focus is on aspects related to security
and intrusion incident detection.
Dynamic weaving allows aspects to be woven in and out as the program is
executing. However the base code often must be compiled with additional
``syntactic sugar{''} - additions that are required for the later
connection of dynamic aspects. This paper presents a new technique to
enable dynamically loaded security modules to be added into existing
C/C++ code on the fly while the program is executing. Our tool is a
Run-Time Event Monitoring System called ``dynamicHook{''}, implemented
on a standard Linux platform using existing Linux tools, which tests
each potential join point for the required activation of advice. Our
system does not need to modify the executable files, but instead we
compile in special ``linkage{''} between the base code and potential
aspects which are then called as dynamically linked routines located in
shared libraries. Our scheme does not require any new syntax or language
extensions or rely on code transformations; we thus use it for adding
intrusion detection methodologies to pre-existing off-the-shelf open
source software.},

Abstract = {Advances in craniofacial medical imaging has allowed the 3D
reconstruction of anatomical structures for medical applications,
including the design of patient specific implants based on
computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)
platforms. This technology has provided new possibilities to visualize
complex medical data through generation of 3-dimensional (3D) physical
models via additive manufacturing that can be eventually utilised to
assist in diagnosis, surgical planning, implant design, and patient
management. Although the study on the construction of
cranio-maxillofacial implant based on computer modelling and advanced
biomaterial are growing rapidly from other parts of the world, however,
in Malaysia is scanty, especially with open source application. For this
reason, it leads us to embark in a study to produce a potential locally
cranio-maxillofacial implant with equivalent standard as compared to the
commercially available product applying open source software. As part of
four subprojects of USM Research University Team (RUT) project, the
authors had investigated and applied open source software to perform
image processing of CT data, to segment the region of interest of
anatomical structures, to create virtual 3D models, and finally to
convert the virtual 3D models to a format that compatible for additive
manufacturing platform. Further research is ongoing to investigate on
designing the cranio-maxillofacial implant using open source CAD
software using suitable biomaterial.},

Title = {Online innovation: the case of open source software development},
Journal = {EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INNOVATION MANAGEMENT},
Year = {2008},
Volume = {11},
Number = {1},
Pages = {142+},
Abstract = {Purpose - The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of online
networking during the innovation process, including its role(s) in
communication, cooperation and coordination. The paper neither
implicitly assumes that online computer-based networking is a
prerequisite for the innovation process nor denies the possibility that
innovation can emerge and successfully survive without it. It merely
presupposes that, in cases of innovation where information and
communication technologies play a substantial role, non-proprietarity
may offer an interesting alternative to innovations based on proprietary
knowledge.
Design/methodology/approach - The paper borrows from the theory of
communities-of-practice, which takes into account social relations,
contacts, and the transfer and incorporation of knowledge. Open source
innovation is not the exclusive preserve of computer nerds, but also has
implications for existing software manufacturers. The paper therefore
includes the case of IBM, a company which has successfully integrated
this new and more open way of collaboration into its business model.
Findings - The paper concludes that online computer-based innovation
fundamentally challenges current ways of communicating, cooperating and
coordinating during the innovation and product development process.
Moreover, it challenges the traditional business model in that it forces
the actors involved to shift the focus from the innovation itself to the
identification of new supporting services higher up the value chain.
Last, but not least, it blurs the boundary between development and use,
since the developer remains the key user.
Research limitations/implications - The paper addresses the implications
for future research in the area. Practical implications - The paper
addresses implications for practitioners directly involved in innovation
and product development.
Originality/value - This paper develops a conceptual framework for
understanding product development based on non-proprietary knowledge,
which cannot be adequately accounted for by traditional corporate
innovation theory alone.},

human-computer interaction (HCI) specialists have encountered
difficulties in trying to participate in OSS projects, because there
seems to be no clear authority and responsibility for them. In this
paper, based on HCI and OSS literature, we introduce an extended OSS
development project organization model that adds a new level of
communication and roles for attending human aspects of software. The
proposed model makes the existence of HCI specialists visible in the

Journal = {EVALUATION AND PROGRAM PLANNING},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {60},
Pages = {284-292},
Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {Planning and evaluating projects often involves input from many
stakeholders. Fusing and organizing many different ideas, opinions, and
interpretations into a coherent and acceptable plan or project
evaluation is challenging. This is especially true when seeking
contributions from a large number of participants, especially when not
all can participate in group discussions, or when some prefer to
contribute their perspectives anonymously. One of the major
breakthroughs in the area of evaluation and program planning has been
the use of graphical tools to represent the brainstorming process. This
provides a quantitative framework for organizing ideas and general
concepts into simple-to-interpret graphs. We developed a new,
open-source concept mapping software called R-CMap, which is implemented
in R. This software provides a graphical user interface to guide users
through the analytical process of concept mapping. The R-CMap software
allows users to generate a variety of plots, including cluster maps,
point rating and cluster rating maps, as well as pattern matching and
go-zone plots. Additionally, R-CMap is capable of generating detailed
reports that contain useful statistical summaries of the data. The plots
and reports can be embedded in Microsoft Office tools such as Word and
PowerPoint, where users may manually adjust various plot and table
features to achieve the best visual results in their presentations and
official reports. The graphical user interface of R-CMap allows users to
define cluster names, `change the number of clusters, select rating
variables for relevant plots, and importantly, select subsets of
respondents by demographic criteria. The latter is particularly useful
to project managers in order to identify different patterns of
preferences by subpopulations. R-CMap is user-friendly, and does not
require any programming experience. However, proficient R users can add
to its functionality by directly accessing built-in functions in R and
sharing new features with the concept mapping community. (C) 2016

Abstract = {5G has gradually been commercialized in countries around the world, but
for most telecom companies, network slicing is still in the development
stage and has not been applied to appropriate scenarios. Automated
provisioning of network slicing is even more challenging for
development. The purpose of this research is to implement a complete,
open source, and automatically deployable 5G network slicing
architecture. We use OpenStack as the platform required to realize
virtualization, Tacker module for slicing environment deployment,
free5GC as the core network of the 5G system, and UERANSIM as the role
of simulating UE and gNB. Through the proposed architecture, an
automatic slicing service with specific functions can be created, the
slice can be registered into the 5G network with the support of the core
network, and the simulated UE can be used to connect the related slice.
Experimental results show that the proposed open-source-based
architecture is feasible and the QoS is guaranteed for each slice.},

Abstract = {After decades of waiting, computational chemistry for the masses is
finally here. Our brief review on free and open source software (FOSS)
packages points out the existence of software offering a wide range of
functionality, all the way from approximate semiempirical calculations
with tight-binding density functional theory to sophisticated ab initio
wave function methods such as coupled-cluster theory, covering both
molecular and solid-state systems. Combined with the remarkable increase
in the computing power of personal devices, which now rivals that of the
fastest supercomputers in the world in the 1990s, we demonstrate that a
decentralized model for teaching computational chemistry is now possible
thanks to FOSS packages, enabling students to perform reasonable
modeling on their own computing devices in the bring your own device
(BYOD) scheme. FOSS software can be made trivially simple to install and
keep up to date, eliminating the need for departmental support, and also
enables comprehensive teaching strategies, as various algorithms' actual
implementations can be used in teaching. We exemplify what kinds of
calculations are feasible with four FOSS electronic structure programs,
assuming only extremely modest computational resources, to illustrate
how FOSS packages enable decentralized approaches to computational
chemistry education within the BYOD scheme. FOSS also has further
benefits driving its adoption: the open access to the source code of
FOSS packages democratizes the science of computational chemistry, and
FOSS packages can be used without limitation also beyond education, in
academic and industrial applications, for example. This article is
categorized under: Software > Quantum Chemistry},

validation study},

Volume = {32},

Abstract = {In recent years, open-source software (OSS) has attracted increasing
attention due to its easy accessibility via cloud repositories,
voluntary community, no vendor lock-in, and low total cost of ownership.
In turn, specifying and evaluating OSS quality has become a significant
challenge for OSS adoption in organizations that are inclined to use
them. Although many OSS quality models have been proposed in the
literature, the dynamic and diverse nature of OSS has caused these
models to be heterogeneous in terms of structure and content. This has
adversely affected the standardization of evaluations and led to the
evaluation results obtained from different OSS quality models for the
same purpose being incomparable and sometimes unreliable. Therefore, in
this study, a meta-model for OSS quality (OSS-QMM), which employs a
unified structure from existing quality models and enables the
derivation of homogeneous models, has been proposed. For this purpose, a
systematic and laborious effort has been spent via a step-based
meta-model creation process including review-and-revise iterations. In
order to validate the OSS-QMM, case study and expert opinion methods
have been applied to answer three research questions (RQs) targeted to
investigate practical applicability, results comparability, and
effectiveness of using the meta-model. Multiple and embedded case study
designs have been employed for evaluating three real ERP systems, and 20
subject matter experts have been interviewed during the validation
process. The results of multi-faceted empirical studies have indicated
that the OSS-QMM has addressed solving problems in OSS quality
evaluation and its adoption with high degrees of confidence.},

be the links of the network. Due to the virtual property of this
network, physical (geographical) distance between network nodes is
usually considered irrelevant. Instead, what is more important is the
conceptual distance that captures the key properties of this virtual
network. This paper studies the open-source software developer network.
Two types representation of the conceptual distance, message reply
distance and common keyword distance, are defined. Appling these two
types of conceptual distances, the mailing list of Linux kernel project
is mined and virtual networks are constructed and analyzed. The
evolution of Linux Kernel Mailing List social network is studied, where
Mantel test is used to study the similarities and correlations between
social networks. The study shows that in open-source software projects,
(1) conceptual distances could be the key components in constructing the
workspace of the developer network, and (2) Mantel test could be a
powerful tool in studying the network.},

Abstract = {Reusing software components from third-party vendors is one of the key
technologies to gain shorter time-to-market and better quality of the
software system. These components, also known as OTS (Off-the-Shelf)
components, come in two types: COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) and OSS
(Open-Source Software). To utilize OSS components effectively, it is
necessary to figure out how the development processes and methods to be
adapted. Most current studies are either theoretical proposals without
empirical assessment or case studies in similar project contexts. It is
therefore necessary to conduct more empirical studies on how process
improvement and risk management can be performed and what are the
results in various project contexts.},

bring their knowledge to the project, improve project success, and that
connection through members, who transfer their knowledge towards other
projects, enhance project success. Finally, we found that ties through
shared membership and contributions hamper project success. The analysis
of knowledge flows and their impact on project success imply a
translation of returns from investment in social capital, where
investment takes the shape of knowledge flows and the returns mean the
projects' diffusion over the network.},

Journal = {BMC BIOINFORMATICS},

Month = {MAR 26},
Abstract = {Background: Mass spectrometry is an essential analytical technique for
high-throughput analysis in proteomics and metabolomics. The development
of new separation techniques, precise mass analyzers and experimental
protocols is a very active field of research. This leads to more complex
experimental setups yielding ever increasing amounts of data.
Consequently, analysis of the data is currently often the bottleneck for
experimental studies. Although software tools for many data analysis
tasks are available today, they are often hard to combine with each
other or not flexible enough to allow for rapid prototyping of a new
analysis workflow.
Results: We present OpenMS, a software framework for rapid application
development in mass spectrometry. OpenMS has been designed to be
portable, easy-to-use and robust while offering a rich functionality
ranging from basic data structures to sophisticated algorithms for data
analysis. This has already been demonstrated in several studies.
Conclusion: OpenMS is available under the Lesser GNU Public License

Abstract = {In the photogrammetric process of the 3D reconstruction of an object or
a building, multi-image orientation is one of the most important tasks
that often include simultaneous camera calibration. The accuracy of
image orientation and camera calibration significantly affects the
quality and accuracy of all subsequent photogrammetric processes, such
as determining the spatial coordinates of individual points or 3D
modeling. In the context of artificial vision, the full-field analysis
procedure is used, which leads to the so-called Strcture from Motion
(SfM), which includes the simultaneous determination of the camera's
internal and external orientation parameters and the 3D model. The
procedures were designed and developed by means of a photogrammetric
system, but the greatest development and innovation of these procedures
originated from the computer vision from the late 90s, together with the
SfM method. The reconstructions on this method have been useful for
visualization purposes and not for photogrammetry and mapping. Thanks to
advances in computer technology and computer performance, a large number
of images can be automatically oriented in a coordinate system
arbitrarily defined by different algorithms, often available in open
source software (VisualSFM, Bundler, PMVS2, CMVS, etc.) or in the form
of Web services (Microsoft Photosynth, Autodesk 123D Catch, My3DScanner,
etc.). However, it is important to obtain an assessment of the accuracy
and reliability of these automated procedures. This paper presents the
results obtained from the dome low close range photogrammetric surveys
and processed with some open source software using the Structure from
Motion approach: VisualSfM, OpenDroneMap (ODM) and Regard3D.
Photogrammetric surveys have also been processed with the Photoscan
commercial software by Agisoft.
For the photogrammetric survey we used the digital camera Canon EOS M3
(24.2 Megapixel, pixel size 3.72 mm). We also surveyed the dome with the
Faro Focus 3D TLS. Only one scan was carried out, from ground level, at
a resolution setting of 1/4 with 3x quality, corresponding to a
resolution of 7 mm / 10 m. Both TLS point cloud and Photoscan point
cloud were used as a reference to validate the point clouds coming from
VisualSFM, OpenDroneMap and Regards3D. The validation was done using the
Cloud Compare open source software.},

Abstract = {Software reuse is a popular practice, which is constantly gaining ground
among practitioners. The main reason for this is the potential that it
provides for reducing development effort and increasing the end-product
quality. At the same time, Open-Source Software (OSS) repositories are
nowadays flourishing and can facilitate the reuse process, through the
provision of a variety of software artifacts. However, up-to-date OSS
reuse processes have mostly been opportunistic, leading to not fully
capitalizing existing reuse potentials. In this study we propose a
process (namely REACT) for improving planned OSS reuse practices, i.e.,
we define the activities that a software engineer can perform to reuse
OSS artifacts. To illustrate the applicability of REACT, we provide an
example, in which a mobile application is developed based upon the reuse
of OSS artifacts. To validate the proposed process we compared the
effort required to develop the application with and without adapting
REACT process. Our preliminary results suggest that REACT may reduce up
to 50\% the effort required to build an application from scratch.},

However, tool improvements have not kept pace with the rapid development

In this work, we designed and implemented a virtual development

tools to build a virtual platform according to a given target hardware
specification and to develop software to run oil the target hardware
with the virtual platform. VDEES is implemented at low cost by
exploiting open source software pack-ages and extended or customized
them to meet our requirements. VDEES provides a configuration tool for
composing a virtual target, a code editor for writing simulated
components, software to be run oil the tat-get, building tools for

the virtual target, and a system monitor for the investigation of the

Abstract = {Since the 2001 anthrax attack in the United States, awareness of threats
originating from bioterrorism has grown. This led internationally to
increased research efforts to improve knowledge of and approaches to
protecting human and animal populations against the threat from such
attacks. A collaborative effort in this context is the extension of the
open-source Spatiotemporal Epidemiological Modeler (STEM) simulation and
modeling software for agro- or bioterrorist crisis scenarios. STEM,
originally designed to enable community-driven public health disease
models and simulations, was extended with new features that enable
integration of proprietary data as well as visualization of agent spread
along supply and production chains. STEM now provides a fully developed
open-source software infrastructure supporting critical modeling tasks
such as ad hoc model generation, parameter estimation, simulation of
scenario evolution, estimation of effects of mitigation or management
measures, and documentation. This open-source software resource can be
used free of charge. Additionally, STEM provides critical features like
built-in worldwide data on administrative boundaries, transportation
networks, or environmental conditions (eg, rainfall, temperature,
elevation, vegetation). Users can easily combine their own confidential
data with built-in public data to create customized models of desired
resolution. STEM also supports collaborative and joint efforts in crisis
situations by extended import and export functionalities. In this
article we demonstrate specifically those new software features
implemented to accomplish STEM application in agro- or bioterrorist
crisis scenarios.},

Hence, their belief in the underlying open source software ideology may

This may result in an ideological-rather than pragmatic-decision. A
recent study has shown that American organizations are quite pragmatic
in their adoption decision. We argue that there may be circumstances in
which there is more opportunity for ideological behavior. We therefore
investigated the organizational adoption decision in Belgian
organizations. Our results indicate that most organizations are
pragmatic in their decision making. However, we have found evidence that
suggests that the influence of ideology should not be completely

Abstract = {Our research aims at understanding the various forms of participation in
Open Source Software (OSS) design, seen as distributed design in online
spaces of actions-discussion, implementation, and boundary between these
spaces. We propose a methodology-based on situated analyses of a formal
design process used in the Python project-to identify the distribution
of actual roles (implementation, interactive, group, and design
oriented) performed by participants into and between the spaces
(defining boundary spaces). This notion of roles is grounded in
collaborative design activities performed online by participants. This
way, our findings complete the core-periphery model of participation in
OSS. Concerning the distribution of roles between spaces, we reveal a
map of participation in OSS: The majority of participants are pure
discussants, but all participants in the implementation spaces do also
act in the discussion space, and few participants act at boundary
spaces. Concerning the distribution of roles between participants in the
discussion space, we reveal that interactions are structured by a
central hub (occupied by key participants) and that, whereas
design-oriented roles are spread among all participants, group-oriented
roles are performed by one or two participants in the respective spaces
and at their boundary. Finally, combination of roles reveals five
individual profiles performed by participants. Our approach could be
extended to other design situations to explore relationships between
forms of participation-in particular, those revealing use-oriented
contributions-performance, and quality of the design product. Finally,
it could be a basis for specifying tools to monitor and manage community
activity for both research issues and support of online community.},

Title = {CRIMSON: An open-source software framework for cardiovascular integrated
modelling and simulation},
Journal = {PLOS COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {17},
Number = {5},
Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {In this work, we describe the CRIMSON (CardiovasculaR Integrated
Modelling and SimulatiON) software environment. CRIMSON provides a
powerful, customizable and user-friendly system for performing
three-dimensional and reduced-order computational haemodynamics studies
via a pipeline which involves: 1) segmenting vascular structures from
medical images; 2) constructing analytic arterial and venous geometric
models; 3) performing finite element mesh generation; 4) designing, and
5) applying boundary conditions; 6) running incompressible Navier-Stokes
simulations of blood flow with fluid-structure interaction capabilities;
and 7) post-processing and visualizing the results, including velocity,
pressure and wall shear stress fields. A key aim of CRIMSON is to create
a software environment that makes powerful computational haemodynamics
tools accessible to a wide audience, including clinicians and students,
both within our research laboratories and throughout the community. The
overall philosophy is to leverage best-in-class open source standards
for medical image processing, parallel flow computation, geometric solid
modelling, data assimilation, and mesh generation. It is actively used
by researchers in Europe, North and South America, Asia, and Australia.
It has been applied to numerous clinical problems; we illustrate
applications of CRIMSON to real-world problems using examples ranging
from pre-operative surgical planning to medical device design
optimization.
Author summary We provide the first full presentation in the literature
of CRIMSON, the Cardiovascular Integrated Modelling and Simulation
Package. CRIMSON consists of a graphical user interface desktop computer
program for creating geometric models of blood vessels from medical
imaging scans, specifying parameters such as the stiffness of the artery
walls, the resistance of connected vessels which are not visible on the
scans, and determining the appropriate parameters for all aspects of the
model. CRIMSON additionally consists of the Flowsolver, a
high-performance computing package which simulates the flow of blood
through the models created in the graphical user interface. Whilst
several packages which can simulate blood flow exist, most target
general fluid simulations, and this lack of specialisation means that
blood flow simulation is harder to perform, and can require ad hoc (and
potentially scientifically-limiting) workflow decisions. CRIMSON's
specialisation deals with these problems, as well as presenting a number
of unique features which are unavailable elsewhere.},

Abstract = {This paper deals with the relationships between firms and communities in
open source software (OSS). A particular feature of OSS is that
important resources are not directly controlled by firms, but partly
reside within communities that co-exist with the firms. Despite this,
firms explicitly try to utilize the resources within these communities
in order to create and appropriate value. Consequently, the
relationships that firms have to these communities influence their way
of doing business. Based on case studies of Nordic OSS firms, a typology
consisting of symbiotic, commensalistic, and parasitic approaches to
handle the firm-community relationship is developed. Depending on the
chosen approach, firms encounter different managerial issues and also
use different operational means of subtle control. While firms relying
on a symbiotic approach have greater possibility to influence the
community through subtle means of control, they are also confronted with
more challenging managerial issues. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights

Abstract = {There have been many studies in the literature discussing intra- and
inter-cluster ties within sociological systems denoted by strong and
weak ties, social and biological systems represented by community
structure, and organizational systems signified by strong and loose
couplings; where inter-cluster ties are mostly considered weak or loose.
Loose couplings lead to dissemination or retrieval of information,
spread of viruses, new product adoption, more and their prediction is
significant for knowledge management, organizational innovation,
epidemics of contagious diseases, and viral product design. Therefore in
this paper, we investigate how to predict inter-cluster tie strength,
and propose that inter-cluster tie strength can be predicted from
determination of intra-cluster density. In the model design section, we
provide the hypothesis and discuss logical and analytical reasoning; in
the empirical section, we alternatively examine the relationship between
intra-group density and inter-group tie strength via examining
open-source-software (OSS) project collaboration data collected from
SourceForge repository.},

Year = {2007},
Volume = {97},

Abstract = {Cybercrime-crime committed through the use of a computer-is a real and
growing problem that costs governments, businesses, and individual
computer users millions of dollars annually and that facilitates many of
the same crimes committed in realspace, such as identity theft and the
trafficking of child pornography, only on a larger scale. However, the
current strategies deployed by law enforcement to combat cybercrime have
proven ineffective. Borne out of traditional notions of criminal
behavior, these strategies and tactics are often ill-suited to prevent
or punish cybercrime, which often defies the traditional notions of
criminal behavior bounded by the corporeal world such as scale and
proximity. This Comment argues that a more effective methodology in the
fight against cybercrime is to develop a model of community policing, in
which the power to deter and prevent cybercrime is divested into the
hands of individual computer users. One such strategy for achieving
effective community policing against cybercrime is through the increased
use of open-source soft-ware, software in which users are given access
to the underlying source code and may make modifications to that source
code in order to ameliorate vulnerabilities that may enable cybercrime.
This Comment looks at the development of traditional community policing
strategies and argues that the increased use of open source
software-spurned by greater involvement by government and
corporations-may be a more effective technique in the fight against
cybercrime.},

procurement of public e-services has been followed in seven case
studies, of which one was studied in-depth and is accounted for in

in e-services are important both concerning function and long-term cost
of ownership. Open source software, OSS, can be ail alternative, but in
the studied procurement cases it appeared not to be a realistic choice
in practise. This paper investigates why, and the conclusions are

Abstract = {Scheduling and resource allocation for Open Source Software (OSS)
product development pose crucial and challenging tasks due to program
size and resource limitations. The properties of OSS further complicate
product assessment and maintenance for developers. This paper proposes a
model for the iterative and multi-release OSS development process.
Unlike traditional methods that oversimplify the problem by reducing the
multi-decision space into a single-objective optimization problem, our
approach suggests employing Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithms
(MOEAs) to solve the Optimal Release Time Planning Problem, enabling the
simultaneous maximization of reliability and minimization of cost. We
consider testing cost and system reliability, two critical dimensions,
as the primary objectives, while also incorporating testing resource
consumption as the third objective. The Non-dominated Sorting Genetic
Algorithm II (NSGA-II) is chosen as the primary method for its
effectiveness in MOEAs, with a special scenario outlined in the paper
where NSGA-II may not guarantee optimal solutions. Demonstrating the
practicality of our proposed method, we utilize open source data to
assess release time and illustrate its superiority to NSGA-II. Numerical
examples further showcase the model's effectiveness.},

Abstract = {A better understanding of the key to successful open-source software
(OSS) development continues to motivate research. Aligned with work that
builds on the notion that an OSS development is tightly interrelated
with its social environment (i.e., the OSS community), this study
examines the relationship between interproject structure and OSS project
success. OSS project success is reflected in two forms: popularity and
knowledge creation. Extending the extant OSS literature, we theorize a
contingent role of interproject connectedness. In particular, we posit
three points: (1) an OSS project with more structural holes achieves
higher popularity; (2) an OSS project with fewer structural holes yields
higher knowledge creation; and (3) these two relationships are enhanced
by an increase in project maturity. Using a dataset longitudinally
collected from SourceForge.net, we found that OSS projects with
widespread connectedness are more popular. This is especially so for
those OSS projects in the mid-mature stage. We also found that OSS
projects with a cohesive network achieve higher knowledge creation,
irrespective of their maturity. Findings from our study can contribute
to OSS literature by identifying OSS projects that are more likely to be
successful.},

adaptive methods and a user-friendly input structure that removes the
hindrance of complicated setup procedures. A Python API is made
available to customize JANUS's capabilities and implement novel adaptive
approaches. JANUS currently interfaces with PSI4 and OPENMM, but its
modular infrastructure enables easy extensibility to other molecular
codes without major modifications to either code. The software is freely
available at https://github.com/CCQC/janus. Our goal is that JANUS will
serve as a user-driven platform for adaptive QM/MM methods.},

Title = {The Evolving Role of Open Source Software in Medicine and Health
Services},
Journal = {TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION MANAGEMENT REVIEW},
Year = {2013},
Pages = {32-39},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {The past five decades have witnessed immense coevolution of methods and
tools of information technology, and their practical and experimental
application within the medical and healthcare domain. Healthcare itself
continues to evolve in response to change in healthcare needs, progress
in the scientific foundations of treatments, and in professional and
managerial organization of affordable and effective services, in which
patients and their families and carers increasingly participate.
Taken together, these trends impose highly complex underlying challenges
for the design, development, and sustainability of the quality of
supporting information services and software infrastructure that are
needed. The challenges are multidisciplinary and multiprofessional in
scope, and they require deeper study and learning to inform policy and
promote public awareness of the problems health services have faced in
this area for many years. The repeating pattern of failure to live up to
expectations of policy-driven national health IT initiatives has proved
very costly and remains frustrating and unproductive for all involved.
In this article, we highlight the barriers to progress and discuss the
dangers of pursuing a standardization framework devoid of empirical
testing and iterative development. We give the example of the openEHR
Foundation, which was established at University College London (UCL) in
London, England, with members in 80 countries. The Foundation is a
not-forprofit company providing open specifications and working for
generic standards for electronic records, informed directly by a wide
range of implementation experience. We also introduce the Opereffa open
source framework, which was developed at UCL based on these
specifications and which has been downloaded in some 70 countries. We
argue that such an approach is now essential to support good discipline,
innovation, and governance at the heart of medicine and health services,
in line with the new mandate for health commissioning in the United
Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS), which emphasizes patient
participation, innovation, transparency, and accountability.},

Abstract = {The success of open source software (OSS) projects depends on sustained
contributions by developers who often display a wide variety of
contribution patterns. Project leaders and stakeholders would strongly
prefer that developers not only maintain but preferably increase their
contributions over time as they gain experience. Corporations
increasingly complement OSS developer motivations (such as fit in terms
of shared values with the project community) by paying them to sustain
contributions. However, practitioners argue whether payment helps or
hurts projects because monetary compensation may dampen developer
motivation in the long run, making it difficult for project leaders to
understand what to expect from developers over time. Using Herzberg's
motivation-hygiene framework, we explore how developers' perceptions of
value fit with the project and being paid interact to determine the
level of code contribution and its rate of change over time (i.e.,
growth). Using a survey of 564 developers across 431 projects on GitHub,
we build a three-level growth model explaining the code contribution and
its growth over a six-month period. We find that value fit with the
project positively influences both the level and growth of code
contribution. However, there are notable differences among paid and
unpaid developers in the impact of value fit on their level and growth
in code contributions over time. The implications of our work will be of
interest to researchers, practitioners, and organizations investing in
open source projects.},

Abstract = {The use of free and Open-Source Software (OSS) systems is gaining
momentum. Organizations are also now adopting OSS, despite some
reservations, particularly about the quality issues. Stability of
software is one of the main features in software quality management that
needs to be understood and accurately predicted. It deals with the
impact resulting from software changes and argues that stable components
lead to a cost-effective software evolution. Changes are most common
phenomena present in OSS in comparison to proprietary software. This
makes OSS system evolution a rich context to study and predict
stability. Our objective in this work is to build stability prediction
models that are not only accurate but also interpretable, that is, able
to explain the link between the architectural aspects of a software
component and its stability behavior in the context of OSS. Therefore,
we propose a new approach based on classifiers combination capable of
preserving prediction interpretability. Our approach is
classifier-structure dependent. Therefore, we propose a particular
solution for combining Bayesian classifiers in order to derive a more
accurate composite classifier that preserves interpretability. This
solution is implemented using a genetic algorithm and applied in the
context of an OSS large-scale system, namely the standard Java API. The
empirical results show that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art
approaches from both machine learning and software engineering.},

research examined user contributions in OSS communities. The results
indicated that contribution intention is significantly affected by
social identity, which includes cognitive, affective and evaluative
identity. In addition, the researchers found that the subjective norm

Abstract = {We develop a model of innovation communities which allows us to address

communication between and within these groups. Based on this model, we
derive a formal approach to quantify communication flows, community
activity and community turnover. These measures are calculated using the
data of 100 open source software projects. Our empirical analysis shows
that: (i) Users play indeed a predominant role in communication, which
points towards the vivid role of an active user community; (ii)
communication is highly concentrated, which points towards the
importance of active individuals and (iii) community turnover exhibits
only little correlation with community segregation, which may allow to
benefit from high turnover rates while keeping negative effects small.
We argue that insight from this extensive analysis not only complements
existing case studies, it also provides a reference frame to put these
singular results into perspective when aiming at generalizations.},

requirements. The model was evaluated by comparing the simulated results
against four measures of software evolution (system size, proportion of
highly complex modules, level of complexity control work, and
distribution of changes) for four large OSS systems. The simulated
results resembled all the observed data, including alternating periods
of growth and stagnation. The fidelity of the model suggests that the
factors included here have significant effects on the evolution of OSS

Abstract = {In an open source software (OSS) development community supported by
spontaneous volunteers, personal interests, technical capabilities,
hunger for fame, and the satisfaction of contributing to the public good
are said to be motivating factor for participation. In that community,
companies always play auxiliary roles, and integrate the result of OSS
into their business activities.
However, in the Eclipse open source software community, the main role of
OSS development activities is taken over by companies. The relationship
between individuals and companies is reversed. Therefore, it becomes
important to maintain the motivation of the development community,
promote innovation and link the activities to the profit of a company.
In other words, management of co-creation and competition are being
conducted at the same time.
This paper tries to clarify a structure of co-creation in an OSS
ecosystem led by companies considering the Eclipse community as one
particular case. It also constructs a co-creation process model to
promote sustainable development for an OSS ecosystem following two axes
1) value sharing and value acquisition, and 2) quantitative development
and qualitative development. Some mechanisms that drive this process are
embedded everywhere in the Eclipse ecosystem.},

Abstract = {This research aims at characterizing emerging roles fostering design-use
mediation during the Open Source Software (OSS) design process through
the analysis of participation. Studying OSS is of particular interest:
(1) to investigate socio-technical settings supporting user
participation to the design process, which is considered to be the major
strength of OSS design; (2) to gain insights into supporting the
changing nature of the software industry, which is becoming more and
more distributed and global, and which is thus increasingly making use
of OSS design tools and methods. In this research, we characterized
effective roles of participants, i.e. participation, on the basis of
activities analysis in three online interaction spaces (discussion,
documentation and implementation) during a continuous
``pushed-by-users{''} design process of the Python project.
Participation is targeted through a methodology articulating: (1)
structural analyses (organization of the discussions, regularity and
involvement of participants, quotes-based social network) in
usage-oriented and development-oriented mailing lists of the projects'
discussion space; (2) actions to the code and documentation made by
participants in the implementation and documentation spaces. Besides the
importance of the users' contribution to the process, OSS design is
fostered by some key-participants, the cross-participants, who act as
boundary spanners between the developers and the users, helping them to
go beyond some barriers to participation. These findings can be
reinforced developing software to automate the structural analysis of
discussions and actions to the code and documentation. (C) 2008 Elsevier

project authenticity and learner characteristics, which resulted in
different identity representations and different perceptions among

to work on projects, commitment to team collaboration, attitudes toward
expert coaching and feedback, and the use of collaborative technologies.},

Month = {APR},
Abstract = {Many open-source software projects depend on a few core developers, who
take over both the bulk of coordination and programming tasks. They are
supported by peripheral developers, who contribute either via
discussions or programming tasks, often for a limited time. It is
unclear what role these peripheral developers play in the programming
and communication efforts, as well as the temporary task-related
sub-groups in the projects. We mine code-repository data and
mailing-list discussions to model the relationships and contributions of
developers in a social network and devise a method to analyze the
temporal collaboration structures in communication and programming,
learning about the strength and stability of social sub-groups in
open-source software projects. Our method uses multi-modal social
networks on a series of time windows. Previous work has reduced the
network structure representing developer collaboration to networks with
only one type of interaction, which impedes the simultaneous analysis of
more than one type of interaction. We use both communication and
version-control data of open-source software projects and model
different types of interaction over time. To demonstrate the
practicability of our measurement and analysis method, we investigate 10
substantial and popular open-source software projects and show that, if
sub-groups evolve, modeling these sub-groups helps predict the future
evolution of interaction levels of programmers and groups of developers.
Our method allows maintainers and other stakeholders of open-source
software projects to assess instabilities and organizational changes in
developer interaction and can be applied to different use cases in
organizational analysis, such as understanding the dynamics of a
specific incident or discussion.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software plays an important role in many software
ecosystems. Whether in operating systems, network stacks, or as
low-level system drivers, software we encounter daily is permeated with
code contributions from open source projects. Decentralized development
and open collaboration in open source projects introduce unique
challenges: code submissions from unknown entities, limited personpower
for commit or dependency reviews, and bringing new contributors
up-to-date in projects' best practices \& processes.
In 27 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with owners, maintainers, and
contributors from a diverse set of open source projects, we investigate
their security and trust practices. For this, we explore projects'
behind-the-scene processes, provided guidance \& policies, as well as
incident handling \& encountered challenges. We find that our
participants' projects are highly diverse both in deployed security
measures and trust processes, as well as their underlying motivations.
Based on our findings, we discuss implications for the open source
software ecosystem and how the research community can better support
open source projects in trust and security considerations. Overall, we
argue for supporting open source projects in ways that consider their
individual strengths and limitations, especially in the case of smaller
projects with low contributor numbers and limited access to resources.},

of older adults claimed to have witnessed discrimination towards others
in FOSS, especially against non-native English speakers and women. This
stands in contrast to what the general male FOSS developer population
reports. Participants identified 10 ways that older adults add value to

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) security has been the focus of the security
community and practitioners over the past decades. However, the number
of new vulnerabilities keeps increasing in today's OSS systems. With
today's increasingly important and complex OSS, lacking software
security knowledge to handle security vulnerabilities in OSS development
will result in more breaches that are serious in the future. Learning
software security is a difficult and challenging task since the domain
is quite context specific and the real project situation is necessary to
apply the security concepts within the specific system. Many OSS
proponents believe that the OSS community offers significant learning
opportunities from its best practices. However, studies that
specifically explore security knowledge sharing and learning in OSS
communities are scarce. This research is intended to fill this gap by
empirically investigating factors that affect knowledge sharing and
learning about software security and the relationship among them. A
conceptual model is proposed that helps to conceptualize the linkage
between socio-technical practices and software security learning
processes in OSS communities. A questionnaire and statistical analytical
techniques were employed to test hypothesized relationships in the model
to gain a better understanding of this research topic.},

Abstract = {Government 3.0, which builds on openness and transparency, sharing,
increased communication and collaboration, government reorganization
through integration and interoperability, and use of new technologies,
is an emerging concept in eGovernance. However, few systems that qualify
as Government 3.0 have been described in detail so far. And there is a
lack of research on how governments can put in place such systems. This
study investigates and characterizes an innovative eGovernment project,
based on Open Source Software (OSS), that could be considered as an
example of a Government 3.0 project. Therefore, we report from a case
study of X-Road, an originally Estonian eGovernment project for creating
a data sharing infrastructure, which today is also used in other
countries. We present the main characteristics of X-Road from the point
of view of Government 3.0, how the X-Road project is organized, compare
its organization to other OSS projects, identify who contributes to the
project, and point out what challenges are perceived by their
stakeholders. We conclude offering some reflections on how X-Road and
other Government 3.0 projects can benefit from OSS.},

Abstract = {A sound Decision-Making (DM) process is key to the successful governance
of software projects. In many Open Source Softoware Development (OSSD)
communities, DM processes lie buried amongst vast amounts of publicly
available data. Hidden within this data lie the rationale for decisions
that led to the evolution and maintenance of software products. While
there have been some efforts to extract DM processes from publicly
available data, the rationale behind `boo' the decisions are made have
seldom been explored. Extracting the rationale for these decisions can
facilitate transparency (by making them known), and also promote
accountability on the part of decision-makers. This work bridges this
gap by means of a large-scale study that unearths the rationale behind
decisions from Python development email archives comprising about 1.5
million mails. This paper makes two main contributions. First. it makes
a knowledge contribution by unearthing and presenting the rationale
behind decisions made. Second. it makes a methodological contribution by
presenting a heuristics-based rationale extraction system called
Rationale Miner that employs multiple heuristics, and follows a
data-driven. bottom-up approach to infer the rationale behind specific
decisions (e.g., whether a new module is implemented based on core
developer consensus or benevolent dictator's pronouncement). Our
approach can be applied to extract rationale in other OSSD communities
that have similar governance structures.},

Free/Libre/Open Source Software ecosystem},

Abstract = {Many software projects are no longer done in-house by a single
organization. Instead, we are in a new age where software is developed
by a networked community of individuals and organizations, which base
their relations to each other on mutual interest. Paradoxically, recent
research suggests that software development can actually be
jointly-developed by rival firms. For instance, it is known that the
mobile-device makers Apple and Samsung kept collaborating in open source
projects while running expensive patent wars in the court. Taking a case
study approach, we explore how rival firms collaborate in the open
source arena by employing a multi-method approach that combines
qualitative analysis of archival data (QA) withmining software
repositories (MSR) and Social Network Analysis (SNA). While exploring
collaborative processes within the OpenStack ecosystem, our research
contributes to Software Engineering research by exploring the role of
groups, sub-communities and business models within a high-networked open
source ecosystem. Surprising results point out that competition for the
same revenue model (i.e., operating conflicting business models) does
not necessary affect collaboration within the ecosystem. Moreover, while
detecting the different sub-communities of the OpenStack community, we
found out that the expected social tendency of developers to work with
developers from same firm (i.e., homophony) did not hold within the
OpenStack ecosystem. Furthermore, while addressing a novel, complex and
unexplored open source case, this research also contributes to the
management literature in coopetition strategy and high-tech
entrepreneurship with a rich description on how heterogeneous actors
within a high-networked ecosystem (involving individuals, startups,
established firms and public organizations) joint-develop a complex
infrastructure for big-data in the open source arena.},

Abstract = {This work focuses on the Open Source Software (OSS) topic in education,
using a leadership and motivational perspective. The purpose of this
paper is to analyse the teachers' motivation to contribute to OSS
projects for teaching. A structural equation model (SEM) has been
defined under the postulates of the Path-Goal leadership theory and
Motivational Behaviour. This model has tried to explain and predict the
use of OSS solutions by teachers in an educational context. The findings
confirm the positive relationships between transactional and
transformational leaderships with extrinsic and intrinsic motivations.
Additionally, the findings show the positive relationship between
extrinsic and intrinsic motivations and the contributions to the OSS
project in teaching. This research suggests several implications for
both leaders and members of an OSS project in an educational context.
First, the contribution of teachers and instructors to the project is
greater when the motivation is fostered by the leader. Second, this
study finds that motivating the participants of a project - teachers in
this case - is highly recommended, in order to reach a successful
adoption of OSS solutions for education.},

Title = {A Community Strategy Framework - How to obtain influence on requirements
in meritocratic open source software communities?},
Journal = {INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {112},
Pages = {102-114},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {Context: In the Requirements Engineering (RE) process of an Open Source
Software (OSS) community, an involved firm is a stakeholder among many.
Conflicting agendas may create miss-alignment with the firm's internal
requirements strategy. In communities with meritocratic governance or
with aspects thereof, a firm has the opportunity to affect the RE
process in line with their own agenda by gaining influence through
active and symbiotic engagements.
Objective: The focus of this study has been to identify what aspects
that firms should consider when they assess their need of influencing
the RE process in an OSS community, as well as what engagement practices
that should be considered in order to gain this influence.
Method: Using a design science approach, 21 interviews with 18 industry
professionals from 12 different software-intensive firms were conducted
to explore, design and validate an artifact for the problem context.
Results: A Community Strategy Framework (CSF) is presented to help firms
create community strategies that describe if and why they need influence
on the RE process in a specific (meritocratic) OSS community, and how
the firm could gain it. The framework consists of aspects and engagement
practices. The aspects help determine how important an OSS project and
its community is from business and technical perspectives. A community
perspective is used when considering the feasibility and potential in
gaining influence. The engagement practices are intended as a tool-box
for how a firm can engage with a community in order to build influence
needed.
Conclusion: It is concluded from interview-based validation that the
proposed CSF may provide support for firms in creating and tailoring
community strategies and help them to focus resources on communities
that matter and gain the influence needed on their respective RE
processes.},

Year = {2014},
Volume = {56},
Number = {11, SI},
Pages = {1508-1519},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {Background: The livelihood of an open source ecosystem is important to
different ecosystem participants: software developers, end-users,
investors, and participants want to know whether their ecosystem is
healthy and performing well. Currently, there exists no working
operationalization available that can be used to determine the health of
open source ecosystems. Health is typically looked at from a project
scope, not from an ecosystem scope.
Objectives: With such an operationalization, stakeholders can make
better decisions on whether to invest in an ecosystem: developers can
select the healthiest ecosystem to join, keystone organizers can
establish which governance techniques are effective, and end-users can
select ecosystems that are robust, will live long, and prosper.
Method: Design research is used to create the health operationalization.
The evaluation step is done using four ecosystem health projects from
literature.
Results: The Open Source Ecosystem Health Operationalization is
provided, which establishes the health of a complete software ecosystem,
using the data from collections of open source projects that belong to
the ecosystem.
Conclusion: The groundwork is done, by providing a summary of research
challenges, for more research in ecosystem health. With the
operationalization in hand, researchers no longer need to start from
scratch when researching open source ecosystems' health. (C) 2014

Abstract = {Initially, free software communities are characterized by
self-management, however, they were also influenced by public and
private organizations that identified potential gains in the use of the
geographically distributed production model. In this context, this
research aims to answer the following questions: Do sponsors influence
the organizational structures of free software communities by promoting
differences between sponsored and non-sponsored communities? What
strategies are adopted by the sponsor to influence the organizational
structure of free software communities? Two constructs are central to
the study: organizational structure and sponsorship. For this research,
we adopted case study methodology and three free software communities
were studied. In the analysis of the results it was evidenced that
sponsors influence decision making, definition of community key roles,
and a formalization of norms. In turn, non-sponsored communities were
characterized by the centralization and informality of the norms. We
conclude that differences were identified in the organizational
structure of sponsored and non-sponsored free software communities, and
this differentiation was influenced by sponsors. In addition, it was
possible to describe strategies and mechanisms used by sponsors to
influence the community organizational structure.},

Title = {LBsoft: A parallel open-source software for simulation of colloidal
systems},
Journal = {COMPUTER PHYSICS COMMUNICATIONS},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {256},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {We present LBsoft, an open-source software developed mainly to simulate
the hydro-dynamics of colloidal systems based on the concurrent coupling
between lattice Boltzmann methods for the fluid and discrete particle
dynamics for the colloids. Such coupling has been developed before, but,
to the best of our knowledge, no detailed discussion of the programming
issues to be faced in order to attain efficient implementation on
parallel architectures, has ever been presented to date. In this paper,
we describe in detail the underlying multi-scale models, their coupling
procedure, along side with a description of the relevant input
variables, to facilitate third-parties usage.
The code is designed to exploit parallel computing platforms, taking
advantage also of the recent AVX-512 instruction set. We focus on LBsoft
structure, functionality, parallel implementation, performance and
availability, so as to facilitate the access to this computational tool
to the research community in the field.
The capabilities of LBsoft are highlighted for a number of prototypical
case studies, such as pickering emulsions, bicontinuous systems, as well
as an original study of the coarsening process in confined bijels under
shear.

Abstract = {The increasing popularity and use of Open Source Software (OSS) has led
to significant interest from research communities and enterprise
practitioners, notably in the small business sector where this type of
software offers particular benefits given the financial and human
capital constraints faced. However, there has been little focus on
developing valid frameworks that enable critical evaluation and common
understanding of factors influencing OSS adoption. This paper seeks to
address this shortcoming by presenting a theory-grounded framework for
exploring these factors and explaining their influence on OSS adoption,
with the context of study being small- to medium-sized Information
Technology (IT) businesses in the U.K. The framework has implications
for this type of business and, we will suggest, more widely as a frame
of reference for understanding, and as tool for evaluating benefits and
challenges in, OSS adoption. It also offers researchers a structured way
of investigating adoption issues and a base from which to develop models
of OSS adoption. The study reported in this paper used the Decomposed
Theory of Planned Behaviour (DTPB) as a basis for the research
propositions, with the aim of: (i) developing a framework of empirical
factors that influence OSS adoption; and (ii) appraising it through case
study evaluation with 10 U.K. Small- to medium-sized enterprises in the
IT sector. The demonstration of the capabilities of the framework
suggests that it is able to provide a reliable explanation of the
complex and subjective factors that influence attitudes, subjective
norms and control over the use of OSS. The paper further argues that the
DTPB proved useful in this research area and that it can provide a
variety of situation-specific insights related to factors that influence
the adoption of OSS. European Journal of Information Systems (2011) 20,

current OSS tools and platforms is that they provide a uniform user
interface regardless of the activities performed by the various types of
contributors. This paper serves as a non-trivial first step towards
resolving this challenge by demonstrating a methodology and establishing
knowledge to understand how the contributors' roles and their dynamics,
reflected in the activities contributors perform, are exhibited in OSS
communities. Based on an analysis of user action data from 29 GitHub
projects, we extracted six activities that distinguished four Active
roles and five Supporting roles of OSS contributors, as well as patterns
in role changes. Through the lens of the Activity Theory, these findings
provided rich design guidelines for OSS tools to support diverse
contributor roles.},

Abstract = {Firm participation in open source software (OSS) development is a
noteworthy phenomenon and includes two types of firm-participating OSS
projects: community founded (developed from an open project) and spinout
(spun out from an information technology firm's internal project). OSS
project leaders implement quality controls to improve the quality of
developed products. They may not be aware that their implementation of
quality controls produces a side effect-quality controls signal
unobservable project quality to volunteers and promote volunteers'
continued participation intentions (VCPI). We focus on two quality
controls-accreditation and code acceptance, which, respectively, map to
the input and output quality of an OSS project-and compare their
respective effects on VCPI in community-founded and spinout projects. We
propose that accreditation and code acceptance influence VCPI by
signaling unobservable input and output quality to volunteers. As we
focus on continued participation, we theorize as to how volunteers'
tenure in OSS projects moderates the relationships between the signaling
effects of input and output quality controls and VCPI. Furthermore, we
theorize as to how the OSS project type moderates the effects of quality
controls on VCPI. We surveyed 304 volunteers from 40 OSS projects and
constructed a two-level model of project and developer factors to
explain VCPI. Our findings indicate that both accreditation and code
acceptance enhance VCPI. The signaling effects on VCPI associated with
accreditation decline with volunteer tenure, but those associated with
code acceptance do not. Accreditation and code acceptance influence
VCPI, with community-founded projects exhibitingweaker direct positive
effects and spinout projects exhibiting stronger direct positive
effects. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these
findings.},

Abstract = {Community-based Open Source Software (OSS) projects are usually
self-organized and dynamic, receiving contributions from distributed
volunteers. These communities' survival, long-term success, and
continuity demand a constant influx of newcomers. However, newcomers
face many barriers when making their first contribution to an OSS
project, leading in many cases to dropouts. Therefore, a major challenge
for OSS projects is to provide ways to support newcomers during their
first contribution. In this paper, our goal was to evaluate how the
newcomers' perceived efficacy is influenced by the use of an environment
that organizes the project information for developers who want to place
their first contribution to an OSS project. To accomplish this goal, we
created FLOSScoach, a portal aiming to support newcomers to OSS
projects, which was implemented based on a model of barriers proposed in
previous research. Then, we conducted a study, in which 46 students,
split in case and control group, were asked to contribute to an OSS
project. We assessed the newcomers' self-efficacy by conducting a
questionnaire before and after the assignment. We found that presenting
the information according to the model of barriers had a positive
influence on newcomers' self-efficacy, empowered the newcomers, making
them more confident and comfortable during the contribution process.
However, there is also some indication that FLOSScoach did not lower the
technical barriers.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) generally offers a high-quality alternative
to proprietary software (e.g. Linux, Apache, Android, etc.) for many

This paper examines whether public subsidies for OSS are socially
desirable. and how the extent of compatibility between OSS and
proprietary software (PS) might influence the optimal subsidy offered.
We consider a mixed duopoly model in which a PS company competes with an
OSS community. Users are heterogeneous in their ability to use OSS, and
their utility depends on the number of users who adopt the same or
compatible software (existence of network externalities). Four
situations are distinguished: full compatibility between OSS and PS,
full incompatibility, and one-way compatibility (either only OSS or PS
is compatible). We show that if the government places more weight on
consumer surplus. public subsidies are welfare-enhancing. But the
optimal subsidy level is larger with full compatibility and PS
compatibility than full incompatibility and OSS compatibility. These
results suggest that government policy towards OSS should be conditional
on the degree of compatibility between PS and OSS.},

perspective},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF STRATEGIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS},
Year = {2012},
Volume = {21},
Number = {4},
Pages = {257-273},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) is an important trend in the information
technology adoption landscape. It has received considerable attention in
the scientific literature, but mostly in the professional press. In
fact, there is much debate over its actual commercial and organizational
value. Since the public discourse accompanying an IT may influence
adoption decisions, it is important to consider IT specialists'
perceptions of the discourse on OSS. In this study, we investigated the
relationship between IT specialists' profiles, IT specialists' reception
of the public discourse on OSS, and their organizations' receptivity to
OSS. Drawing on the socio-cognitive perspective of IT innovation
adoption and the organizing vision theory, a survey of 271 IT
specialists was conducted to examine these issues. Our results indicate
that a majority of IT specialists in our sample are rather neutral about
the OSS concept conveyed in the public discourse. However, our sample
also comprises respondents with more extreme perceptions who can be
classified as either supporters or detractors. Our results indicate that
detractors have more years of experience but have been less exposed to
OSS than supporters, and that IT specialists' perceptions of the OSS
concept are positively associated with their organizations' openness to
OSS adoption and, to a lesser extent, with the existence of an
organizational policy that favors OSS adoption. Altogether, our findings
provide strong support for the organizing vision theory and the idea
that the popularity of an IT innovation concept favors the adoption of
the material IT innovation in organizations. By providing a preliminary
test of a nomological network of IT specialists' perceptions of the OSS
concept, our study offers insights as to why organizations may or may
not take OSS into account in their software procurement decisions. (C)

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) is currently one of the most debated
phenomena in both academia and the software industry. Several OSS
systems have achieved significant market success but they are rather
server-side applications, such as the Apache Web server, MySQL database
server, or other components of IT infrastructure. On the other hand,
penetration of OSS systems on the market of desktop applications is
rather limited and it is virtually dominated by products of one software
vendor, i.e., Microsoft. In this chapter, the benefits and barriers of
OSS implementation in Poland are investigated. Based on the well-known
technology organization environment model of IT technology adoption of a
simple model was developed and evaluated empirically, based on the data
from the survey of 178 enterprises and public institutions. Statistical
analysis using partial least squares (PLS) was performed. Of the four
factors considered to determine adoption decisions (benefits, costs,
environment, and organization), it was found that only perceived
benefits and environment are significant.},

uses the underlying economic principle of similar production processes
as the basis for its classes. For the Information Sector of the economy,
as formulated in NAICS, a key production process is the acquisition and
defense of copyright. With open source, copyleft licensing eliminates
copyright acquisition and protection as major production processes,
suggesting that the open source software industry warrants a separate
NAICS category. More importantly, our analysis suggests that NAICS
cannot be understood as a taxonomy of objective economic activity but is
instead a politically and historically contingent system of data

Journal = {COMPUTERS \& GEOSCIENCES},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {137},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and induced polarization (IP)
methods are now widely used in many interdisciplinary projects. Although
field surveys using these methods are relatively straightforward, ERT
and IP data require the application of inverse methods prior to any
interpretation. Several established non-commercial inversion codes
exist, but they typically require advanced knowledge to use effectively.
ResIPy was developed to provide a more intuitive, user-friendly,
approach to inversion of geoelectrical data, using an open source
graphical user interface (GUI) and a Python application programming
interface (API). ResIPy utilizes the mature R2/cR2 inversion codes for
ERT and IP, respectively. The ResIPy GUI facilitates data importing,
data filtering, error modeling, mesh generation, data inversion and
plotting of inverse models. Furthermore, the easy to use design of
ResIPy and the help provided inside makes it an effective educational
tool. This paper highlights the rationale and structure behind the
interface, before demonstrating its capabilities in a range of
environmental problems. Specifically, we demonstrate the ease at which
ResIPy deals with topography, advanced data processing, the ability to
fix and constrain regions of known geoelectrical properties, time-lapse
analysis and the capability for forward modeling and survey design.},

Abstract = {In this study open source software was examined from an archaeological
perspective. The objective: to explore the evolution of a long-lived
open source project with the intention of learning how code evolution
has progressed over time. This investigation provides a case study of
Nethack, an enormously popular open source game that has been in
development for more than a decade. The Goal Question Metric approach
was employed to derive measurement goals for the evaluation of open
source software (OSS) evolution in Nethack. According to Lehman's laws,
the incremental growth size of successive releases tends to decline
during the active life of an evolving program. Our results demonstrate
that the evolution patterns observed for Nethack do not consistently
conform to Lehman's laws. The growth in Nethack's tarball distribution
size, as well as lines of code, exhibited a linear increase in growth in
this investigation. Additionally, Lehman's laws dictate that the
complexity of a system will increase as it ages. Interestingly, in
Nethack, the McCabe cyclomatic complexity was found to decrease with
successive releases while the Halstead complexity increased These
results suggest that while the structure complexity of Nethack declined
with successive releases, the complexity of calculational logic
increased. These findings raise questions concerning the evolution of
other OSS applications.},

Abstract = {Open-source software (OSS) has been widely used in the software
development process to reduce development cost and development period.
However, adopting OSS requires crucial decision-making in terms of
various aspects including business, technology, and intellectual
property management; these may not be mutually independent and may
exhibit a complex set of relationships. This research studies the
structured analysis to break down the evaluation criterion axis and the
contributing factors when adopting OSS and attempts to clarify the
structured evaluation criterion map. (C) 2018 The Authors. Published by

Abstract = {Weather radar analysis has become increasingly sophisticated over the
past 50 years, and efforts to keep software up to date have generally
lagged behind the needs of the users. We argue that progress has been
impeded by the fact that software has not been developed and shared as a
community.
Recently, the situation has been changing. In this paper, the developers
of a number of open-source software (OSS) projects highlight the
potential of OSS to advance radar-related research. We argue that the
community-based development of OSS holds the potential to reduce
duplication of efforts and to create transparency in implemented
algorithms while improving the quality and scope of the software. We
also conclude that there is sufficiently mature technology to support
collaboration across different software projects. This could allow for
consolidation toward a set of interoperable software platforms, each
designed to accommodate very specific user requirements.},

Abstract = {Accumulated changes on a software system are not uniformly distributed:
some elements are changed more often than others. For optimal impact,
the limited time and effort for complexity control, called
anti-regressive work, should be applied to the elements of the system
which are frequently changed and are complex. Based on this, we propose
a maintenance guidance model (MGM) which is tested against real-world
data. MGM takes into account several dimensions of complexity: size,
structural complexity and coupling. Results show that maintainers of the
eight open source systems studied tend, in general, to prioritize their
anti-regressive work in line with the predictions given by our MGM, even
though, divergences also exist. MGM offers a history-based alternative
to existing approaches to the identification of elements for
anti-regressive work, most of which use static code characteristics
only.},

Abstract = {Context: The need to accelerate software delivery, supporting faster
time-to-market and frequent community developers/users feedback are
issues that have lead to relevant changes in software development
practices. Many Open Source Software (OSS) projects have engaged to
achieve this through the adoption of agile practices in software release
practices. Problem: There is no secondary study in the literature
discussing evidences of the influence of agile approaches in OSS
projects release practices. Goal: Identify published reports in the
literature that characterize to which extent agility has influenced
release approaches in OSS projects. Method: The characterization of
studies followed a five-phase process to present a panoramic view of
software releases practices in the context of OSS projects. Results: The
overall data collected from 14 studies published from January 2006 to
January 2016 depicted the following scenario: nine issues that
characterize the advantages/influence of agility in OSS release
approaches; four challenge issues in this approach; three possibilities
of implementation and two main motivations towards the adoption of
software release approaches through agility; and finally three main
strategies to implement it. Conclusion: This study provides an
up-to-date and structured understanding of the influence of agility on
OSS projects release approaches based on findings systematically
collected from a list of relevant references in the last decade.},

Abstract = {Providing students with the professional, communication, and technical
skills necessary to contribute to an ongoing software project is
critical, yet often difficult in higher education. Involving student
teams in real-world projects developed by professional software

distributing software products. Involvement in a FOSS project provides
students with experience developing within a professional environment,
with a professional community, and has the additional benefit that all
communication and artifacts are publicly accessible. Humanitarian Free
and Open Source Software (HFOSS) projects benefit the human condition in
some manner. They can range from disaster management to microfinance to
election-monitoring applications. This article discusses the benefits
and challenges of students participating in HFOSS projects within the
context of undergraduate computing degree programs. This article reports
on a 6-year study of students' self-reported attitudes and learning from
participation in an HFOSS project. Results indicate that working on an
HFOSS project increases interest in computing. In addition, students
perceive that they are gaining experience in developing software in a
distributed environment with the attendant skills of communication,
distributed teamwork, and more.},

Abstract = {The success of open source software (OSS) projects depends heavily on
the voluntary participation of a large number of developers. To remain
sustainable, it is vital for an OSS project community to maintain a
critical mass of core developers. Yet, only a small number of
participants (identified here as ``joiners'') can successfully socialize
themselves into the core developer group. Despite the importance of
joiners' socialization behavior, quantitative longitudinal research in
this area is lacking. This exploratory study examines joiners' temporal
socialization trajectories and their impacts on joiners' status
progression. Guided by social resource theory and using the growth
mixture modeling (GMM) approach to study 133 joiners in 40 OSS projects,
the authors found that these joiners differed in both their initial
levels and their growth trajectories of socialization and identified
four distinct classes of joiner socialization behavior. They also found
that these distinct latent classes of joiners varied in their status
progression within their communities. The implications for research and
practice are correspondingly discussed.},

to density fitting and multi-core parallelism. The program is a hybrid
of C++ and Python, and calculations may be run with very simple text
files or using the Python API, facilitating post-processing and complex
workflows; method developers also have access to most of PSI4's core
functionalities via Python. Job specification may be passed using The
Molecular Sciences Software Institute (MolSSI) QCSCHEMA data format,
facilitating interoperability. A rewrite of our top-level computation
driver, and concomitant adoption of the MolSSI QCARCHIVE INFRASTRUCTURE
project, makes the latest version of PSI4 well suited to distributed
computation of large numbers of independent tasks. The project has
fostered the development of independent software components that may be
reused in other quantum chemistry programs.},

Abstract = {A multidimensional image navigation and display software was designed
for display and interpretation of large sets of multidimensional and
multimodality images such as combined PET-CT studies. The software is
developed in Objective-C on a Macintosh platform under the MacOS X
operating system using the GNUstep development environment. It also
benefits from the extremely fast and optimized 3D graphic capabilities
of the OpenGL graphic standard widely used for computer games optimized
for taking advantage of any hardware graphic accelerator boards
available. In the design of the software special attention was given to
adapt the user interface to the specific and complex tasks of navigating
through large sets of image data. An interactive jog-wheel device widely
used in the video and movie industry was implemented to allow users to
navigate in the different dimensions of an image set much faster than
with a traditional mouse or on-screen cursors and sliders. The program
can easily be adapted for very specific tasks that require a limited
number of functions, by adding and removing tools from the program's
toolbar and avoiding an overwhelming number of unnecessary tools and
functions. The processing and image rendering tools of the software are
based on the open-source libraries ITK and VTK. This ensures that all
new developments in image processing that could emerge from other
academic institutions using these libraries can be directly ported to
the OsiriX program. OsiriX is provided free of charge under the GNU

Abstract = {In this paper, a qualitative case study of women-dominated Free/Libre
Open Source Software (FLOSS) project is conducted to explore factors
which successfully involve and sustain women FLOSS participants by
drawing on Brown and Levinson's politeness theory. The culture and norms
of FLOSS appear to be formulated by what is privileged/marginalized by
men in the context of FLOSS, and such men's valuing is likely to
threaten women FLOSS participants' face.
Our findings are 1) in the FLOSS context, there are gender-based
differences in determining what threatens face on the basis of gendered
expectations of what is polite, and 2) women-dominated FLOSS
participants are ``practically{''} polite in software development
practices. These findings were explored through an in-depth analysis of
interaction episodes on the email list, archival public interview data
of women FLOSS developers, FLOSS development environment, and
instructive materials shared in public. Our paper shows how politeness
theory can be extended to the ``practice{''} of coding and non-coding
work, and provides FLOSS communities with guidelines for involving and
sustaining women participants in FLOSS development.},

Abstract = {In computational chemistry, vast quantities of compounds are generated,
and there is a need for cheminformatic tools to efficiently build
chemical compound libraries. Several software tools for drawing and
editing compound structures are available, but they lack options for
automatic generation of chemical libraries. We have implemented ChemT,
an easy-to-use open-source software tool that automates the process of
preparing custom-made template-based chemical libraries. ChemT
automatically generates three-dimensional chemical libraries by
inputting a chemical template and the functional groups of interest. The
graphical user interface of ChemT is self-explanatory, and a complete
tutorial is provided. Several file formats are accepted by ChemT, and it
is possible to filter the generated compounds according to different
physicochemical properties. The compounds can be subject to force field
minimization, and the resulting three-dimensional structures recorded on
commonly used file formats. ChemT may be a valuable tool for
investigators interested in using in silico virtual screening tools,
such as quantitative structure-activity relationship modelling or
molecular docking, in order to prioritize compounds for further chemical
synthesis. To demonstrate the usefulness of ChemT, we describe an

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) is one of the most trusted technologies for
implementing industry 4.0 solutions. The study aims to assist a
community of OSS developers in quantifying the product's reliability.
This research proposes reliability growth models for OSS by
incorporating dynamicity in the debugging process. For this, stochastic
differential equation-based analytical models are developed to represent
the instantaneous rate of error generation. The fault introduction rate
is modeled using exponential and Erlang distribution functions. The
empirical applications of the proposed methodology are verified using
the real-life failure data of the Open Source Software projects, GNU
Network Object Model Environment, and Eclipse. A soft computing
technique, Genetic Algorithm, is applied to estimate model parameters.
Cross-validation is also performed to examine the forecasting efficacy
of the model. The predictive power of the developed models is compared
with various benchmark studies. The data analysis is conducted using the
R statistical computing software. The results demonstrate the proposed
models' efficacy in parameter estimation and predictive performance. In
addition, the optimal release time policy based on the proposed
mathematical models is presented by formulating the optimization model
that intends to minimize the total cost of software development under
reliability constraints. The numerical illustration and sensitivity
analysis exhibit the proposed problem's practical significance. The
findings of the numerical analysis exemplify the proposed study's
capability of decision-making under uncertainty.},

Abstract = {Microblogging as an emerging social media technology is becoming
increasingly popular in more and more OSS communities and forms various
follower networks. However, the impacts of microblogging follower
network on OSS project success are rarely studied. In this study, we
adopt a social network perspective to identify and hypothesize that
three microblogging network mechanisms will positively affect OSS
project success through knowledge sharing, and attracting more skillful
and eminent developers. Using longitudinal data from a large online OSS
community called Ohloh, we empirically examine the impacts of various
factors for these two type of mechanisms on the commercial and
technological successes of OSS projects. We found that preferential
attachment and structure hole factors are supported, while accumulative
advantage factors are partially supported. Our findings may provide
insights for OSS stakeholders to effectively manage microblogging
techniques for achieving project success.},

Title = {Falcon: a highly flexible open-source software for closed-loop
neuroscience},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF NEURAL ENGINEERING},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {14},
Number = {4},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {Objective. Closed-loop experiments provide unique insights into brain
dynamics and function. To facilitate a wide range of closed-loop
experiments, we created an open-source software platform that enables
high-performance real-time processing of streaming experimental data.
Approach. We wrote Falcon, a C++ multi-threaded software in which the
user can load and execute an arbitrary processing graph. Each node of a
Falcon graph is mapped to a single thread and nodes communicate with
each other through thread-safe buffers. The framework allows for easy
implementation of new processing nodes and data types. Falcon was tested
both on a 32-core and a 4-core workstation. Streaming data was read from
either a commercial acquisition system (Neuralynx) or the open-source
Open Ephys hardware, while closed-loop TTL pulses were generated with a
USB module for digital output. We characterized the round-trip latency
of our Falcon-based closed-loop system, as well as the specific latency
contribution of the software architecture, by testing processing graphs
with up to 32 parallel pipelines and eight serial stages. We finally
deployed Falcon in a task of real-time detection of population bursts
recorded live from the hippocampus of a freely moving rat. Main results.
On Neuralynx hardware, round-trip latency was well below 1 ms and stable
for at least 1 h, while on Open Ephys hardware latencies were below 15
ms. The latency contribution of the software was below 0.5 ms.
Round-trip and software latencies were similar on both 32- and 4-core
workstations. Falcon was used successfully to detect population bursts
online with similar to 40 ms average latency. Significance. Falcon is a
novel open-source software for closed-loop neuroscience. It has
sub-millisecond intrinsic latency and gives the experimenter direct
control of CPU resources. We envisage Falcon to be a useful tool to the
neuroscientific community for implementing a wide variety of closed-loop
experiments, including those requiring use of complex data structures
and real-time execution of computationally intensive algorithms, such as
population neural decoding/encoding from large cell assemblies.},

Abstract = {The primary goal of this study is to introduce the open-source,
Python-based application GeothermoTool, which is designed for geothermal

correction, temperature log analysis, estimation of the potential of
geothermal reservoirs, temperature distribution in one -and
two-dimensions computing, and tectono-thermal evolution modeling. Those
functions are frequently used during the geothermal exploration. In
addition, the calculation results can be visualized by the Matplotlib
module and exported to files such as MS EXCEL and Comma-Separated Values
(CSV). The plots can be saved as bitmaps and vectorgraphs, enabling
second editing. Moreover, GeothermoTool offers a standalone PC
application with an intuitive user interface that is simple to use.
Numpy, Scipy, and Numba are used to speed up the cal-culations. The
source code of GeothermoTool is accessible on GitHub. Users who are
capable of programming in Python can join the development team, correct
bugs, and add new functions.},

structures in fire},
Journal = {FIRE SAFETY JOURNAL},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {140},
Month = {OCT},
Abstract = {The traditional methods to understand the development of elevated
temperature in a structure, and also the associated structural response,
are not representative of realistic fire scenarios. To provide a more
accurate and realistic reflection of the fire development, the current
paper develops a generic middleware which interfaces between the
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software Fire Dynamics Simulator
(FDS) and the finite element (FE) analysis software OpenSees. This
framework enables a fully integrated simulation of a realistic fire
scenario including the heat transfer through the structure and the
resulting thermo-mechanical response. The proposed framework is
open-source and freely available and therefore can be used and further
developed by researchers and practicing engineers and customised to
their requirements. This paper shows validation against two sets of
experimental results and one real fire incident. A number of different
types of thermal boundary conditions such as gas temperatures and heat
fluxes, are obtained from the CFD analysis and are then used in the
subsequent heat transfer and thermo-mechanical analysis. The primary
advantage of this computational tool is that it provides consultants and
designers with the means to undertake large-scale projects requiring
performance-based fire engineering solutions.},

follow Zipf's law for the intermediate nodes, but the heavily linked

finite-size effects. The finite-size parameters make a quantitative
distinction between the in-directed and out-directed networks. For the
out-degree distribution, the initial condition for a dynamic evolution
corresponds to the limiting count of the most heavily linked nodes that
the out-directed network can finally have. The number of nodes
contributing out-directed links grows with every generation of software
release, but this growth ultimately saturates toward a terminal value,
due to the finiteness of semantic possibilities in the network.},

Title = {Adapting usability techniques for application in open source Software: A
multiple case study},
Journal = {INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {107},
Pages = {48-64},
Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {Context: As a result of the growth of non-developer users of OSS
applications, usability has over the last ten years begun to attract the
interest of the open source software (OSS) community. The OSS community
has some special characteristics (such as worldwide geographical
distribution of both users and developers and missing resources) which
are an obstacle to the direct adoption of many usability techniques as
specified in the human-computer interaction (HCI) field.
Objective: The aim of this research is to adapt and evaluate the
feasibility of applying four usability techniques: user profiles,
personas, direct observation and post-test information to four OSS
projects from the viewpoint of the development team.
Method: The applied research method was a multiple case study of the
following OSS projects: Quite Universal Circuit Simulator, PSeInt,
FreeMind and OpenOffice Writer.
Results: We formalized the application procedure of each of the adapted
usability techniques. We found that either there were no procedures for
adopting usability techniques in OSS or they were not fully
systematized. Additionally, we identified the adverse conditions that
are an obstacle to their adoption in OSS and propose the special
adaptations required to overcome the obstacles. To avoid some of the
adverse conditions, we created web artefacts (online survey, wiki and
forum) that are very popular in the OSS field.
Conclusion: It is necessary to adapt usability techniques for
application in OSS projects considering their idiosyncrasy.
Additionally, we found that there are obstacles (for example, number of
participant users, biased information provided by developers) to the
application of the techniques. Despite these obstacles, it is feasible
to apply the adapted techniques in OSS projects.},

spectrometry based non-target screening},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF CHEMINFORMATICS},
Year = {2021},

Month = {JAN 6},
Abstract = {Mass spectrometry based non-target analysis is increasingly adopted in
environmental sciences to screen and identify numerous chemicals
simultaneously in highly complex samples. However, current data
processing software either lack functionality for environmental
sciences, solve only part of the workflow, are not openly available
and/or are restricted in input data formats. In this paper we present
patRoon, a new R based open-source software platform, which provides
comprehensive, fully tailored and straightforward non-target analysis
workflows. This platform makes the use, evaluation and mixing of
well-tested algorithms seamless by harmonizing various common (primarily
open) software tools under a consistent interface. In addition, patRoon
offers various functionality and strategies to simplify and perform
automated processing of complex (environmental) data effectively.
patRoon implements several effective optimization strategies to
significantly reduce computational times. The ability of patRoon to
perform time-efficient and automated non-target data annotation of
environmental samples is demonstrated with a simple and reproducible
workflow using open-access data of spiked samples from a drinking water
treatment plant study. In addition, the ability to easily use, combine
and evaluate different algorithms was demonstrated for three commonly
used feature finding algorithms. This article, combined with already
published works, demonstrate that patRoon helps make comprehensive
(environmental) non-target analysis readily accessible to a wider

Abstract = {In this study, we seek to understand socio-technical interactions in a
system development context via an examination of the joint effect of
developer team structure and open source software (OSS) architecture on
OSS development performance. Using detailed data collected from code
repositories from Soure-Forge.com, we find that developer team structure
and software architecture significantly moderate each other's effect on
OSS development performance. Larger teams tend to producemore favorable
project performance when the project being developed has a high level of
structural interdependency while projects with a low level of structural
interdependency require smaller teams in order to achieve better project
performance. Meanwhile, centralized teams tend to have a positive impact
on project performance when the OSS project has a high level of
structural interdependency. However, when a project has a low level of
structural interdependency, centralized teams can impair project
performance. This study extends our understanding of information
technology's deep engagement in organizational life and provides
directions for open source practitioners to better organize their
projects to achieve greater performance.},

Title = {ORGANIZATIONAL AND MOTIVATIONAL FACTORS FOR IMPLEMENTING ENTERPRISE
SOLUTIONS BASED ON OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE},
Booktitle = {RELATIONAL DATABASES AND OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENTS},
Series = {Computer Science Technology and Applications},
Year = {2010},
Pages = {257-273},
Abstract = {Organizations implement Enterprise solutions, mainly Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) systems, with the aim of attaining operational efficiency
and the incorporation into new markets through the real time information
flow control of the entire organization. However, ERP systems are
complex tools, particularly for small and medium size enterprises
(SMEs).
For this reason, new ERP configurations have arisen, such as Open Source
Software-ERP (OSS-ERP). In the website Sourceforge.net, we can identify
2058 projects about OSS-ERP, although all of them have not had an impact
on the ERP market. This data is indicative of the increasing relevance
of this enterprise solution for organizations. At this moment, the
OSS-ERP vendors with a greater diffusion are Compiere, Openbravo, Abanq
(previously FacturaLux), ERP5, Tiny ERP, Fisterra, OFBiz, SQL-Ledger and
WebERP.
OSS-ERP has three relevant advantages for organizations: (1) increased
adaptability, (2) decreased reliance on a single supplier, (3) reduced
costs. OSS-ERP generally include the necessary functions to integrally
manage all the activities of a company. Due to their high flexibility,
these tools can be adapted to the client's specific needs. Furthermore,
as OSS-ERP are based on open software technologies, organizations do not
have to pay licenses or exclusive contracts. With the collaboration of
partners, OSS-ERP vendors receive benefits for the support services.
Research in OSS has identified individual personal motives for using OSS
software, analyzing specific OSS solutions, or the OSS movement itself.
The literature in Enterprise solutions has also analyzed the main
organizational factors for successfully implementing an ERP system.
However, OSS-ERP is a research topic barely analyzed by the literature.
This paper's aim is to specifically focus on the organizational and
motivational factors for implementing OSS-ERP. The authors developed a
research work for testing the impact of organizational and motivational
factors on the implementation of OSS-ERP by means of a survey of
organizations with OSS-ERP and OSS-ERP users.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) has become an important alternative method of
organizing the production of software and has gained in popularity and
use because of its benefits and costs relative to the dominant
proprietary software model. In this paper, I use evidence from the
United States and Canada to examine the distribution of these benefits
and costs. I argue that although the rhetoric surrounding OSS is
supported empirically, the benefits of OSS have been limited because of
the way this technological project has evolved within its associated
policy environment. That is, although ostensibly neutral, the policies
and laws of both the U.S. and Canadian governments have tended to be
positioned implicitly against the use of OSS both in the public sector
and in the economy generally. In addition, OSS use and development
requires a set of skills that are absent in many instances or create
prohibitively high costs. Thus OSS is typically used by larger
organizations, and its development is restricted to a mostly male,
highly educated, high-income group of contributors. Therefore while the
benefits of OSS are real, the distribution of these benefits is skewed.

Title = {SimpleMind: An open-source software environment that adds thinking to
deep neural networks},
Journal = {PLOS ONE},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {18},
Number = {4},
Month = {APR 13},
Abstract = {Deep neural networks (DNNs) detect patterns in data and have shown
versatility and strong performance in many computer vision applications.
However, DNNs alone are susceptible to obvious mistakes that violate
simple, common sense concepts and are limited in their ability to use
explicit knowledge to guide their search and decision making. While
overall DNN performance metrics may be good, these obvious errors,
coupled with a lack of explainability, have prevented widespread
adoption for crucial tasks such as medical image analysis. The purpose
of this paper is to introduce SimpleMind, an open-source software
environment for Cognitive AI focused on medical image understanding. It
allows creation of a knowledge base that describes expected
characteristics and relationships between image objects in an intuitive
human-readable form. The knowledge base can then be applied to an input
image to recognize and understand its content. SimpleMind brings
thinking to DNNs by: (1) providing methods for reasoning with the
knowledge base about image content, such as spatial inferencing and
conditional reasoning to check DNN outputs; (2) applying process
knowledge, in the form of general-purpose software agents, that are
dynamically chained together to accomplish image preprocessing, DNN
prediction, and result post-processing, and (3) performing automatic
co-optimization of all knowledge base parameters to adapt agents to
specific problems. SimpleMind enables reasoning on multiple detected
objects to ensure consistency, providing cross-checking between DNN
outputs. This machine reasoning improves the reliability and
trustworthiness of DNNs through an interpretable model and explainable
decisions. Proof-of-principle example applications are provided that
demonstrate how SimpleMind supports and improves deep neural networks by
embedding them within a Cognitive AI environment.},

Abstract = {Open source software has now become a significant alternative in meeting
different needs in business, government and academic environments, such
as needs related to economics, management, learning and innovation,
among others. The purpose of this research was to examine the research
trends and evolution of the field of open source software adoption
between 2001 and 2019. The methodology used involved bibliometric
analysis of 289 documents obtained through a Scopus extracted search
equation, generating indicators of quantity and quality and analyzing
the emerging themes in said field of knowledge. The findings of the
research include the existence of a strong trend towards research and
dissemination regarding open source software, particularly in countries
such as the United States, whose institutions and authors demonstrate
high levels of productivity and dissemination. There was also evidence
of an interest in reducing barriers and encouraging the adoption and
implementation of the software in other sectors where its use is still
lagging behind. The main conclusion of the research is that the research
of open source software adoption focuses on the following topics:
innovation, Linux, FLOSS, engineering requirements, risk management,
open innovation, the public sector, social network analysis and total
cost of ownership.},

Year = {2010},
Volume = {22},
Number = {8},
Pages = {653-675},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {The increasingly widespread use of open source software (OSS) is an
indication of its success However, as a software development model OSS
still has shortcomings that need to be resolved In particular, the
question of usability and its improvement in an OSS context remains a
significant ongoing Issue that demands further investigation This is
especially so given the unique manner in which OSS diverges from
traditional software development models Current experience with OSS does
not favor the existence of a positive relation between the standard OSS
development paradigm and good usability practice We believe that
addressing the inadequacy of usability expertise in the OSS community
will improve the quality of its products and enhance their
competitiveness Motivated by the unique user-driven character of the OSS
model, we propose an exploratory method for inspection which is intended
to assist OS S users in contributing to open source usability inspection
This method provides an effective adaptation of the `learning-by-doing'
approach to the domain of usability inspection This is accomplished by
innovatively applying usability patterns to guide usability exploration,
incorporating strategies for `outlining knowledge' and `exploration
freedom' and implementing both techniques in an integrated inspection
environment. The results of an experiment involving a group of OSS users
inspecting an open source project called dotproject demonstrate that
this method outperforms traditional heuristics based inspection The
paper also considers the applicability of the usability method and tool
developed to usability improvement in the context of traditional

Title = {Reproducibility and Practical Adoption of GEOBIA with Open-Source
Software in Docker Containers},
Journal = {REMOTE SENSING},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {9},
Number = {3},
Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) mostly uses proprietary
software, but the interest in Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) for
GEOBIA is growing. This interest stems not only from cost savings, but
also from benefits concerning reproducibility and collaboration.
Technical challenges hamper practical reproducibility, especially when
multiple software packages are required to conduct an analysis. In this
study, we use containerization to package a GEOBIA workflow in a
well-defined FOSS environment. We explore the approach using two
software stacks to perform an exemplary analysis detecting destruction
of buildings in bi-temporal images of a conflict area. The analysis
combines feature extraction techniques with segmentation and
object-based analysis to detect changes using automatically-defined
local reference values and to distinguish disappeared buildings from
non-target structures. The resulting workflow is published as FOSS
comprising both the model and data in a ready to use Docker image and a
user interface for interaction with the containerized workflow. The
presented solution advances GEOBIA in the following aspects: higher
transparency of methodology; easier reuse and adaption of workflows;
better transferability between operating systems; complete description
of the software environment; and easy application of workflows by image
analysis experts and non-experts. As a result, it promotes not only the
reproducibility of GEOBIA, but also its practical adoption.},

Title = {Open-source software product line extraction processes: the ArgoUML-SPL
and Phaser cases},
Journal = {EMPIRICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {27},
Number = {4},
Month = {JUL},
Abstract = {Software Product Lines (SPLs) are rarely developed from scratch.
Commonly, they emerge from one product when there is a need to create
tailored variants, or from existing variants created in an ad-hoc way
once their separated maintenance and evolution become challenging.
Despite the vast literature about re-engineering systems into SPLs and
related technical approaches, there is a lack of detailed analysis of
the process itself and the effort involved. In this paper, we provide
and analyze empirical data of the extraction processes of two
open-source case studies, namely ArgoUML and Phaser. Both cases emerged
from the transition of a monolithic system into an SPL. The analysis
relies on information mined from the version control history of their
respective source-code repositories and the discussion with developers
that took part in the process. Unlike previous works that focused mostly
on the structural results of the final SPL, the contribution of this
study is an in-depth characterization of the processes. With this work,
we aimed at providing a deeper understanding of the strategies for SPL
extraction and their implications. Our results indicate that the source
code changes can range from almost a fourth to over half of the total
lines of code. Developers may or may not use branching strategies for
feature extraction. Additionally, the problems faced during the
extraction process may be due to lack of tool support, complexity on
managing feature dependencies and issues with feature constraints. We
made publicly available the datasets and the analysis scripts of both
case studies to be used as a baseline for extractive SPL adoption
research and practice.},

education, the possible OSS project stakeholders can vary from
independent developers to researchers, schools and commercial companies.
The structure of this multifaceted collaboration scheme can be very

ecology and evolutionary biology},
Journal = {METHODS IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {8},
Number = {8},
Pages = {941-947},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {1. Meta-analysis and meta-regression are statistical methods for
synthesizing and modelling the results of different studies, and are
critical research synthesis tools in ecology and evolutionary biology
(E\&E). However, many E\&E researchers carry out meta-analyses using
software that is limited in its statistical functionality and is not
easily updatable. It is likely that these software limitations have
slowed the uptake of new methods in E\&E and limited the scope and
quality of inferences from research syntheses.
2. We developed OpenMEE: Open Meta-analyst for Ecology and Evolution to
address the need for advanced, easy-to-use software for meta-analysis
and meta-regression. OpenMEE has a cross-platform, easy-to-use graphical
user interface (GUI) that gives E\&E researchers access to the diverse
and advanced statistical functionalities offered in R, without requiring
knowledge of R programming.
3. OpenMEE offers a suite of advanced meta-analysis and meta-regression
methods for synthesizing continuous and categorical data, including
meta-regression with multiple covariates and their interactions,
phylogenetic analyses, and simple missing data imputation. OpenMEE also
supports data importing and exporting, exploratory data analysis,
graphing of data, and summary table generation.
4. As intuitive, open-source, free software for advanced methods in
meta-analysis, OpenMEE meets the current and pressing needs of the E\&E
community for teaching meta-analysis and conducting high-quality
syntheses. Because OpenMEE's statistical components are written in R,
new methods and packages can be rapidly incorporated into the software.
To fully realize the potential of OpenMEE, we encourage community
development with an aim to advance the capabilities of meta-analyses in
E\&E.},

Abstract = {Free/Open Source Software (F/OSS) projects are people-oriented and
knowledge intensive software development environments. Many researchers
focused on mailing lists to study coding activities of software
developers. How expert software developers interact with each other and
with non-developers in the use of community products have received
little attention. This paper discusses the altruistic sharing of
knowledge between knowledge providers and knowledge seekers in the
Developer and User mailing lists of the Debian project. We analyze the
posting and replying activities of the participants by counting the
number of email messages they posted to the lists and the number of
replies they made to questions others posted. We found out that
participants interact and share their knowledge a lot, their positing
activity is fairly highly correlated with their replying activity, the
characteristics of posting and replying activities are different for
different kinds of lists, and the knowledge sharing activity of
self-organizing Free/Open Source communities could best be explained in
terms of what we called ``Fractal Cubic Distribution{''} rather than the
power-law distribution mostly reported in the literature. The paper also
proposes what could be researched in knowledge sharing activities in
F/OSS projects mailing list and for what purpose. The research findings
add to ` our understanding of knowledge sharing activities in F/OSS

Software-development Teams with Internal Governance: An Extension to
Decision-making Theory},
Journal = {COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {46},
Pages = {484-510},
Abstract = {Community-based free/libre open source software (FLOSS) teams with
internal governance constitute an extreme example of distributed teams,
prominent in software development. At the core of distributed team
success lies team decision making and execution. However, in FLOSS
teams, one might expect the lack of formal organizational structures to
guide practices and reliance on asynchronous communication to make
decision making problematic. Despite these challenges, many effective
FLOSS teams exist. We lack research on how organizations make IS
development decisions in general and on FLOSS decision-making models in
particular. The decision-making literature on FLOSS teams has focused on
the distribution of decision-making power. Therefore, it remains unclear
which decision-making theories fit the FLOSS context best or whether we
require novel decision-making models. We adopted a process-based
perspective to analyze decision making in five community-based FLOSS
teams. We identified five different decision-making processes, which
indicates that FLOSS teams use multiple processes when making decisions.
Decision-making behaviors remained stable across projects even though
they required different types of knowledge. We help fill the literature
gap about which FLOSS decision mechanisms one can explain using
classical decision-making theories. Practically, community and company
leaders can use knowledge of these decision processes to develop
infrastructure that fits FLOSS decision-making processes.},

Abstract = {This paper describes a study done on the use of Free and Open Source
Software ( FOSS) for enterprise applications of the public sector in Sri
Lanka. The study investigates factors that affect the selection of
software for public sector information systems with, an emphasis on how
Free and Open Source Software ( FOSS) is used and could be used in such
projects. The objectives of the study are as follows. The study aims to
identify factors that affect the adoption of Software in Sri Lankan
government sector projects. In addition to this it identifies features
that are considered as important in such large Information Systems, and
how they relate to Open Source Software adoption in the context of the
public sector in Sri Lanka. The findings are analyzed and suitable
recommendations are presented for better selection of software in the
public sector. The work is important as it identifies and highlights
factors that affect the choice of software in the public sector. This is
important for several categories of people. It is of importance to the
strategic management and policy makers to know what drives the
information system procurement decisions in order to make more relevant
policies and guidelines that are congruent with the needs in government
sector departments. It is useful when advocating new technologies and
information systems. This is especially true when advocating the use of
Free and Open Source software for the use in the public sector in a
wholesome and sustainable manner. The research is also important to
software vendors and solution providers to the public sector in
identifying what factors need to be taken in to account when bidding for
public sector IS projects. The research is of a qualitative nature. It
consists of multiple case studies of selected government sector
departments and projects in Sri Lanka. The study investigates
information systems developed by internal staff, developed by external
consultants, procured systems, system implementation via private public
partnerships (PPP) and projects guided by the Information and
Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) of Sri Lanka. Data was gathered
through interviews of staff at different levels of selected government
sector Information Systems projects. The data was comparatively analyzed
on a case by case basis to identify common patterns and trends among the
investigated organizations and projects. The identified factors
affecting the choice of software include the cost, technical
specifications, bidder's expertise in selected technology and user's
expertise in selected technology amongst other factors described in the
full paper. The study identifies patterns between the choice of software
- FOSS or non FOSS, and these identified factors. Based on these,
recommendations are given to adopt and benefit from the use of FOSS in
public sector enterprise level software projects.},

Abstract = {In nature ecosystems, animal life-spans are determined by genes and some
other biological characteristics. Similarly, the software project
life-spans are related to some internal or external characteristics.
Analyzing the relations between these characteristics and the project
life-span, may help developers, investors, and contributors to control
the development cycle of the software project. The paper provides an
insight on the project life-span for a free open source software
ecosystem. The statistical analysis of some project characteristics in
GitHub is presented, and we find that the choices of programming
languages, the number of files, the label format of the project, and the
relevant membership expressions can impact the life-span of a project.
Based on these discovered characteristics, we also propose a prediction
model to estimate the project life-span in open source software
ecosystems. These results may help developers reschedule the project in
open source software ecosystem.},

Abstract = {This paper outlines the motivations and methods for analyzing the
developer network of open source software (OSS) projects. Previous work
done by Hinds suggested social network structure was instrumental
towards the success of an OSS project, as measured by activity and
output. The follow-up paper by Thuds discovered that his
hypotheses, based on social network theory and previous research on the
importance of subgroup connectedness, were vastly different than the
results of his study of over 100 successful OSS projects. He concluded
that the social network structure had no significant effect on project
success We outline how his approach disregarded potentially important
factors and through a new study evaluate the role of the OSS developer
network as it pertains to long-term project popularity. We also present
an initial investigation into the adequacy of using the SourceForge
activity percentile as a long-term success metric In contrast with
Hinds, we show that previously existing developer-developer ties are an
indicator of past and future project popularity.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) development is a highly collaborative process
where individuals, groups and organizations interact to develop, operate
and maintain software and related artifacts. The developers' sentiment
in this process can have an impact on their working willingness and
efficiency. Monitoring sentiment factors can help to improve OSS
development and management. However, no method has been proposed to
dynamically monitor the sentiment phenomena during the OSS development
process. In this paper, an approach to detect Negative Sentiment-related
Events (NSE) is proposed. It consists of two steps. The first step is to
identify the burst interval of negative comments from open source
projects, which corresponds to a NSE. The second step is to annotate
this NSE with its event type. To support this approach, the types of
NSEs in OSS projects are defined through an empirical study and
classifiers are trained to annotate event types automatically. Moreover,
conversation disentanglement techniques are employed to make the
comments extracted more complete. Finally, the factors that have an
influence on NSEs in the OSS project are studied.},

Abstract = {This paper examines the viability of using open source software for the
architectural analysis of solar access and over shading of building
projects. For this paper open source software also includes freely
available closed source software. The Computer Aided Design software -
Google SketchUp (Free) while not open source, is included as it is
freely available, though with restricted import and export abilities.
A range of software tools are used to provide an effective procedure to
aid the Architect in understanding the scope of sun penetration and
overshadowing on a site and within a project. The technique can be also
used lighting analysis of both external (to the building) as well as for
internal spaces.
An architectural model built in SketchUp (free) CAD software is exported
in two different forms for the Radiance Lighting Simulation Suite to
provide the lighting analysis. The different exports formats allow the
3D CAD model to be accessed directly via Radiance for full lighting
analysis or via the Blender Animation program for a graphical user
interface limited option analysis. The Blender Modelling Environment for
Architecture (BlendME) add-on exports the model and runs Radiance in the
background.},

Abstract = {Software peer review has proven to be a successful technique in open
source software (OSS) development. In contrast to industry, where
reviews are typically assigned to specific individuals, changes are
broadcast to hundreds of potentially interested stakeholders. Despite
concerns that reviews may be ignored, or that discussions will deadlock
because too many uninformed stakeholders are involved, we find that this
approach works well in practice. In this paper, we describe an empirical
study to investigate the mechanisms and behaviours that developers use
to find code changes they are competent to review. We also explore how
stakeholders interact with one another during the review process. We
manually examine hundreds of reviews across five high profile OSS
projects. Our findings provide insights into the simple, community-wide
techniques that developers use to effectively manage large quantities of
reviews. The themes that emerge from our study are enriched and
validated by interviewing long-serving core developers.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) is increasingly used in Component-Based
Software Development (CBSD) of large software systems. An important
issue in CBSD is selection of suitable components. Various OSS selection
methods have been proposed, but most of them do not consider the
software architecture aspects of OSS products. The Software Architecture
(SA) research community refers to a product's architectural information,
such as design decisions and underlying rationale, and used architecture
patterns, as Architecture Knowledge (AK). In order to investigate the
importance of AK of OSS components in integration, we conducted an
exploratory empirical study. Based on in-depth interviews with 12 IT
professionals, this paper presents insights into the following
questions: 1) what AK of OSS is needed? 2) Why is AK of OSS needed? 3)
Is AK of OSS generally available? And 4) what is the relative importance
of AK? Based on these new insights, we provide a research agenda to
further the research field of software architecture in OSS.},

Abstract = {Many technologies in our everyday lives are expressions of deliberate
and protracted political struggles among interested groups. While some
technologies are inherently political, other technologies become
politicized through competition among different groups and
organizations. How do seemingly apolitical technologies become
politicized? In this article, the author examines the case of the
``circuit riders,{''} a progressive technology movement in the United
States that promotes information technology use among nonprofit and
grassroots organizations, to show how a particular technology is
politicized through field-level interactions. Applying and contributing
to actor-network theory, the author finds that translation takes place
as an organizational process by which actors associate the ideals of the
technology in question with their political ideals and then attempt to
enroll other actors to accept the resultant associations. Successful
association depends on both discursive and organizational practices.},

Abstract = {Model-Driven Development (MDD) aims to increase productivity in software
development and manage the complexity of software by utilizing modelling
to shift from programming in solution-space to modelling in
problem-space. Another approach to increase productivity and experience
significant cost savings is to utilize Open Source (OS) components in
software development. This paper presents the state of the art of how to
combine MDD methods with OS software development. The approach is called
Open Models software development which is expected to combine the
benefits of both worlds. The fundamental idea of Open Models development
is to apply community-driven collaborative MDD. In this paper, Open
Models development is exemplified by constructing Resource Availability
Service (RAS). RAS is a web service for providing availability
information about resources such as services, content, users and
terminals. This paper shows that Open Models development is feasible
from technical point of view although there are still great challenges
in tooling. In addition, more empirical research is needed in studying
attractiveness of Open Models.},

Abstract = {In the field of software engineering, a very old and important issue is
how to understand the software. Understanding software means more than
understanding the source code; it also refers to the other facts related
to that particular software. Sometimes even experienced developers can
be overwhelmed by a project's extensive development capabilities. In the
development process, project leaders (PLs) have overall knowledge about
the project and are keenly aware of its vision. Other members have only
partial knowledge of the functions assigned to them. In this research,
we propose a model to design ontology to support software comprehension
and handle issues of knowledge management throughout the development
process. By applying our methodology, understanding software and
managing knowledge can become possible in a systematic way for open
source and commercial projects. Furthermore, it will help beginners
become more involved in a project and contribute to it in a productive
way.},

Title = {Antecedents of open source software adoption in health care
organizations: A qualitative survey of experts in Canada},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MEDICAL INFORMATICS},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {82},
Number = {8},
Pages = {731-741},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {Purpose: Open source software (OSS) adoption and use in health care
organizations (HCOs) is relatively low in developed countries, but
several contextual factors have recently encouraged the consideration of
the possible role of OSS in information technology (IT) application
portfolios. This article aims at developing a research model for
investigating the antecedents of OSS adoption decisions in HCOs.
Methods: Based on a conceptual framework derived from a synthesis of the
literature on IT adoption in organizations, we conducted 18
semi-structured interviews with IT experts from all levels of the
Province of Quebec's health and social services sector in Canada. We
also interviewed 10 IT suppliers in the province. A qualitative data
analysis of the interviews was performed to identify major antecedents
of OSS adoption decisions in HCOs.
Results: Eight factors associated with three distinct theoretical
perspectives influence OSS adoption. More specifically, they are
associated with the classical diffusion of innovations theory, the
theory of resources, as well as institutional theory and its spin-off,
the organizing vision theory. The factors fall under three categories:
the characteristics of OSS as an innovation, the characteristics of the
HCO with respect to its ability to absorb OSS, and the characteristics
of the external environment with respect to institutional pressures and
public discourse surrounding OSS. We shed light on two novel factors
that closely interact with each other: (1) interest of the health care
community in the public discourse surrounding OSS, and (2) clarity,
consistency and richness of this discourse, whether found in magazines
or other media.
Conclusions: OSS still raises many questions and presents several
challenges for HCOs. It is crucial that the different factors that
explain an HCO's decision on OSS adoption be considered simultaneously.
Doing so allows a better understanding of HCOs' rationale when deciding
to adopt, or not to adopt, OSS. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All

Abstract = {As institutions of Higher Education try to balance limited resources
with the rising costs of technology, some institutions are turning to
Open Source software for campus-wide applications such as course
management systems and portals. The assumption is that Open Source will
provide the flexibility to build pedagogically sound learning
environments while increasing technology efficiencies. This paper
outlines the current state of Open Source software deployment in US
Higher Education based on a survey of 772 Chief Academic Officers and
Chief Information Officers conducted in 2006. The results indicate that
Carnegie classification is a critical differentiator of awareness,
adoption, and perceptions of Open Source software applications, with
perceived cost of ownership being the key driver of Open Source
adoption. Moreover, the study shows that institutions have made little
progress in the development of polices and procedures for Open Source
regulatory compliance and security. The study serves as a baseline for
future research into the conditions for successful use of Open Source
for supporting integrated learning environments that deliver campus-wide
efficiencies.},

the literature related to LAM institutions on open-source software used
in digital curation. The undertaken research was an attempt to check the
interest in this issue in publications registered in the BASE
multi-search database. The research material collected during library
searches was analysed using simple bibliometric methods. Based on
literature analysis, this paper indicates a growing interest in digital
curation in LAM institutions in the context of open-source software. The
first publications on this subject recorded in the BASE database date
back to 2005. Since then, the number of different publication types has
been growing steadily, including in particular conference proceedings
and journal articles. An increasing number of authors interested in
digital curation associated with many institutions from around the world
has also been recorded. The analysis of the material also allowed us to
identify various applications available under open-source licences. The
article provides an opportunity to look at the changes occurring in the
analysed body of literature. It presents leading authors publishing
works related to digital curation. It also identifies the most popular
software described over 16 years. It provides a comprehensive
description of topics and the structure of literature on open-source
software used in digital curation. The described analysis results can be
a contribution to in-depth research and a set of solutions for

Abstract = {Many of the developments started by social initiatives (bottom-up),
others are induced by policies (top-down) or even by both (social and
political). Open Design is mainly characterized as a movement generated
by and for the community but could also be nourished by
private/associative initiatives with the community support, and could be
encourage by public entities that perceives Open Design as a flourish
method for innovation and leading for a real democratization of the
manufacturing.
In this paper, three CAD software based on Open Design (rattleCAD, BRL
CAD and FreeCAD) are evaluated, according to the number of downloads
made in SourceFourge, in order to better understand the usage behavior
of these CAD systems. The main findings suggest instability in the short
range and stability in the medium and long range, indicating that the
communities are active and providing attractive solutions. (C) 2019 The

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) has attracted a lot of attention in the last
decade. Due to the rising dominance of OSS in the software industry; not
only practitioners, but researchers as well as academicians are also
keen to understand the OSS development and evolution process. Several
studies have been conducted in the past in this regard. Most of the
existing work relates to growth analysis of OSS projects using source
code level metrics. Lately, metrics related to change activity have also
been included to understand OSS evolution. Change activity as recorded
in Source Code Management (SCM) systems is used in a few cases. Most of
the work deals with finding change size, and change effort
distributions. A few studies do change profile analysis as OSS systems
evolve. But that is restricted to a few of the change categories, e.g.,
adaptive v/s non-adaptive changes, corrective v/s non-corrective
changes. This research study explores change profiles of 106 OSS systems
by extracting change type information from their SCM repositories and
then categorizing these changes automatically into five different
categories - corrective, adaptive, perfective, preventive, and
enhancement related. The idea is to understand the way OSS projects
undergo change through long periods of time. The results indicate that
change behavior of the OSS projects is different for different types of
changes.},

Abstract = {In the past year, 72\% of Internet users have looked online for health
information, indicating a high demand for online health information.
This project seeks to help satisfy that demand by analyzing health data
and designing a web portal to support patient healthcare decisions. The
portal is powered by SEMantic Open Source Software (SEMOSS), an
end-to-end analytics tool. The project aims to adapt SEMOSS's
capabilities to make healthcare data accessible to the patient
population and healthcare stakeholders. To achieve this goal,
publiclyavailable data about doctors in the state of Virginia and
hospitals across the United States was gathered. Visualizations were
created to answer potential patient questions about doctors, such as
which nearby practitioner has the most experience. Data from the
Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems
(HCAHPS) survey, in conjunction with Census Bureau data, was explored.
The census information facilitated classification of each hospital as
urban or rural based on location. Multiple linear regression and random
forest analysis were used to determine which elements of patient
experience most influence whether a patient would recommend a hospital.
Outputs from the multiple linear regression models indicated that of the
statistically significant predictors, doctor communication and staff
responsiveness most impacted recommendation scores in rural hospitals,
and nurse communication and pain management were the most impactful for
urban hospitals. Random forest analysis indicated that staff
responsiveness and nurse communication were the most important variables
in determining high or low recommendation scores for rural hospitals,
and care transition and nurse communication were the most important
variables for urban hospitals. These results will be used to create
filtering options for the SEMOSS patient portal.},

Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {Drawing on two case studies in the UK public sector our qualitative
study explains how and why open source software has seen such a mixed
response. Our narratives indicate that for both cases there was strong
goodwill towards open source yet the trajectories of implementation
differed widely. Drawing upon ideas of change(ing), mutability and
materiality we unpack the process of adoption. The study shows that open
source software has certain facets; code, community, coordination
mechanisms, license and documentation. Each facet is not stable; indeed,
it is changing and mutable. This creates possibilities, potential but
also recalcitrance, and barriers. The interesting point of departure of
our study is how open source software a much touted transparent and open
phenomenon is by its nuanced and layered mutability able to make the
process and practices surrounding it less visible. It concludes with
clear policy recommendations developing from this research that could
help to make open source adoption more sustainable in the public sector.

Abstract = {In this work we present a new software platform for interactive
volumetric visualization of complex architectural objects and their
applications to teaching and training conservation interventions in
Architectural Cultural Heritage. Photogrammetric surveying is performed
by processing the information arising from image-and range-based
devices. Our visualization application is based on an adaptation of
WebGL open standard; the performed adaptation allows to import open
standards and an interactive navigation of 3D models in ordinary web
navigators with a good performance. The Visualization platform is
scalable and can be applied to urban environments, provided open source
files be used; CityGML is an open standard based on a geometry -driven
Ontology which is compatible with this approach. We illustrate our
results with examples concerning to very damaged churches and a urban
district of Segovia (World Cultural Heritage). Their connection with
appropriate database eases the building evolution and interventions
tracking. We have incorporated some preliminary examples to illustrate
Advanced Visualization Tools and architectural e-Learning software
platform which have been created for assessing conservation and
restoration tasks in very damaged buildings. First version of the
Advanced Visualization application has been developed in the framework
of ADISPA Spanish Project Results. Our results are illustrated with the
application of these software applications to several very damaged
cultural heritage buildings in rural zones of Castilla y Leon (Spain).},

Abstract = {In recent years, the organization of open source software development

understand the development process of open source software and explore

computing model that can simulate the behaviors and interactions between
autonomous entities. With agent based models, we can simulate the
self-organization process of open source software development by
simulating contributors' behaviors. Therefore, we design an agent-based
simulation system for open source software development, which are
implemented with the Java Agent Development framework. In experiments,
we obtain the simulation results by inputting historical behavior
information of open source repositories on GitHub. Then we compare the
results of various models. Finally, by adjusting input parameters for
issue resolution process, we analyze the impact of these parameters,
which shows this system also helps understand how to control the open

Title = {Open source software deployment in the public sector: a review of
Botswana and South Africa},
Journal = {LIBRARY HI TECH},
Year = {2010},
Volume = {28},
Number = {1},
Pages = {63-80},
Abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to review use of open source
software in the public sector in Botswana and South Africa. South Africa
is Botswana's neighbor and both countries are leading economies in
Africa.
Design/methodology/approach - The paper draws on a survey that was
carried out in information communication technology (ICT)-intensive
government ministries in Botswana in May 2008. The study sought to
establish availability of policy framework, level of usage of open
source software, government support, motivations for implementing open
source software in government, availability of skills, attitude of it
managers in government toward open source software and challenges of
open source software deployment in the public sector. The population of
the study consisted of information technology (IT) managers who were
purposively selected from ICT-intensive government ministries and
interviewed. The study was extended to cover South Africa through review
of literature on the same issues as those studied in Botswana.
Findings - Compared with other countries in developed and developing
countries including South Africa, there is limited use of open source
software in the public sector in Botswana. However, IT managers in
government of Botswana demonstrate a positive attitude toward open
source software, and seem to have adequate understanding of its
potential benefits. Comparatively, South African government provides
support for harnessing open source software; awareness among top
government officials is high and attitude toward open source software
seems positive; skills are generally available and hardly any challenges
of using open source software were identified.
Research limitations/implications - This study was limited to
purposively selected government ministries which are ICT-intensive in
Botswana, while for South Africa, the study was based on secondary
sources of data and focused on deployment of open source software in
government agencies.
Practical implications - Despite the increasing deployment of open
source software in government across the world, the Botswanan government
is yet unlikely to put in place an enabling open source software policy
to harness the potential of the Software.
Originality/value - Open source software deployment in government across
the world is gaining momentum purportedly to enhance universal access,
reduce costs associated with commercial software bridge the digital
divide, grow indigenous IT skills, etc. Botswana and South Africa are
the economic frontline states in Africa, and their leadership role in
this matter among counterparts on the African continent is pertinent.},

Abstract = {Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) has gained a lot of attention
lately allowing organizations to incorporate third party source code
into their implementations. When open source software libraries are
used, software resources may be linked directly or indirectly with
multiple open source licenses giving rise to potential license
incompatibilities. Adequate support in license use is vital in order to
avoid such violations and address how diverse licenses should be
handled. In the current work we investigate software licensing giving a
critical and comparative overview of existing assistive approaches and
tools. These approaches are centered on three main categories: license
information identification from source code and binaries, software
metadata stored in code repositories, and license modeling and
associated reasoning actions. We also give a formalization of the
license compatibility problem and demonstrate the role of existing
approaches in license use decisions. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights

Abstract = {This paper presents a model to analyse the different outcomes generated
by the application of Task-Technology Fit (TTF) theory to economic and

extends that proposed by Goodhue (1995), in two ways: (i) a key role is
played by the manager in designing the technology and in performing the
task in question. Both of these aspects can be modified, depending on
the evaluation made of a series of characteristics (or dimensions)
inherent to the model. (ii) The free dissemination of the source code of
the application not only allows the transfer of knowledge, but also
creates virtual communities which, through collaborative work and the
exchange of experiences, can achieve a better fit of the technology to
the task at hand. This model has been introduced in several departments
at the University of Granada (Spain), and evaluated in terms of the
results obtained at both individual and group levels. This evaluation
was conducted by means of in-depth interviews with departmental

structures and polysaccharides can be constructed from their primary
structure and the relevant monosaccharides stored in database containing
information on optimized glycosidic linkage geometries. The constructed
three-dimensional structures are described as Cartesian coordinate files
which can be used as input to other molecular modeling software. The new
version of POLYS includes a large database of monosaccharides and a
helical generator to build and optimize regular single helix or double
helix structures. To demonstrate the efficiency of POLYS to build
carbohydrate structures, four examples of increasing complexity are
presented in the manuscript, from simple alpha glucans over complex
starch fragments and the double helical structure of amylopectin to the
mega-oligosaccharide RhamnoGalacturonan II. (c) 2013 Wiley Periodicals,

Abstract = {The era of the PC platform left a legacy of competitive strategies for
the future technologies to follow. However, this notion became more
complicated, once the future grew out to be a present with huge bundle
of innovative technologies, Internet capabilities, communication
possibilities, and ease in life. A major step of moving from a product
phone to a smart phone, eventually to a mobile device has created a new
industry with humongous potential for further developments. The current
mobile platform market is witnessing a platforms-war with big players
such as Apple, Google, Nokia and Microsoft in a major role. An important
aspect of today's mobile platform market is the contributions made
through open source initiatives which promote innovation. This paper
gives an insight into the open-source software strategies of the leading
players and its implications on the market. It first gives a precise
overview of the past leading to the current mobile platform market share
state. Then it briefs about the open-source software components used and
released by Apple, Google and Nokia platforms, leading to their mobile
platform strategies with regard to open source. Finally, the paper
assesses the situation from the point of view of communities of software
developers complementing each platform. The authors identified relevant
implications of the open-source phenomenon in the mobile-industry.},

Journal = {JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {134},
Pages = {211-227},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Exploiting the enormous amount of open source software (OSS) as a
vehicle for reuse is a promising opportunity for software engineers.
However, this task is far from trivial, since such projects are
sometimes not easy to understand and adapt to target systems, whereas at
the same time the reusable assets are not obvious to identify. In this
study, we assess open source software projects, with respect to their
reusability, i.e., the easiness to adapt them in a new system. By taking
into account that domain-specific reuse is more beneficial than
domain-agnostic; we focus this study on identifying the application
domains that contain the most reusable software projects. To achieve
this goal, we compared the reusability of approximately 600 OSS projects
from ten application domains through a case study. The results of the
study suggested that in every aspect of reusability, there are different
dominant application domains. However, Science and Engineering
Applications and Software Development Tools, have proven to be the ones
that are the most reuse-friendly. Based on this observation, we suggest
software engineers, who are focusing on the specific application
domains, to consider reusing assets from open source software projects.

Abstract = {Model Driven Development (MDD) is widely used in the embedded systems
domain, and many proprietary and Open Source tools exist that support
MDD. The potential for sustainability of such tools needs to assessed
prior to any organisational adoption. In this paper we report from a
case study conducted in a consultancy company context aiming to
investigate Open Source tools for MDD. For the company it was
interesting to explore the two Open Source modelling tools Topcased and
Papyrus for potential adoption. The focus for our case study is on
assessing the health of the ecosystems for the two investigated Open
Source projects by means of quantitative analysis of publically
available data sources about Open Source projects. The health of
ecosystems is an important prerequisite for a long term sustainable OSS
(Open Source Software) tool-chain in the MDD area, which can aid
strategic decision making for potential adoption within a company
context. We have established details on the extent to which developers
and users are active in two specific OSS ecosystems, and identified
organisational influence for both ecosystems. We find that the
investigated tools are promising regarding the health of their
ecosystems, and a natural next step for the company would be to proceed
with a pilot study in order to analyse the effectiveness of the
investigated tools in company contexts.},

Abstract = {This chapter examines collaborative work practices, development
processes, project and community dynamics, and other socio-technical
relationships in free and open source software development (FOSSD). It
also describes what kinds of collaboration affordances facilitate

Journal = {ETHNOS},

Volume = {74},
Number = {1},
Pages = {51-71},
Abstract = {This paper is about the interaction between the human imagination and
technology among a self-described `community': that of developers of
Free or Open Source Software. I argue that the moral imagination
observable in this phenomenon can be understood with reference to its
emergence around specific methods of technical production. Principles of
openness, truth, freedom and progress, which are also understood as
central to the technical production of good software, are reinforced (as
a ethical orientation) by their contribution to making `good' software.
A reciprocal dynamic ensues in which better software is seen as
dependent on particular social practices and ideologies while these
practices and ideologies are given salience by their success in
fostering valuable production. Processes key to the generation of this
social form are examined before a number of key features of the practice
of programming, such as its often combative and individualistic
character, and an absence of women in developer communities, are
considered in the light of the analysis.},

Abstract = {Geographic information systems (GIS) are increasingly being used for
effective accessibility to spatial data. Due to technical complexity and
high cost, communities lacking the expertise and resources cannot
benefit from this technology. Open source software (OSS) offers the
potential to solve these problems. At first this paper briefly reviews
the OSS and open source GIS(OSGIS). Then an approach for developing
Internet GIS using open source soft-ware is proposed. Issues involved in
the development, including economic and technical, are discussed later.
To demonstrate the approach a case study of Web-based Mountain Data
Sharing Information System is presented The presented case shows that
development of Internet GIS based on OSS is feasible. It also provides a
solution for internet GIS that is low cost and simple to implement.},

Journal = {INFORMATION SYSTEMS JOURNAL},

Volume = {30},
Number = {2},
Pages = {369-402},
Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {Corporations increasingly engage with open source software communities
in the co-creation of software. This collaboration between corporate
professionals and open source software community members is strikingly
different from the early days of software development where for-profit
firms attempted to dominate and control the industry while attempting to
throttle the success of independent developers offering an alternative,
open source option. While many metaphors like trading zones, common pool
resources and ecosystems have helped understand the phenomenon, the
metaphors do not portray what the industry was like before and after the
transition. We adopt a postcolonial metaphor as an analytical lens to
examine such collaboration based on qualitative data gathered over three
years from executives, managers and developers within corporations that
engage in open source software development. Drawing on these insights,
we then theorize a ``Third Design Space,{''} based on the concept of the
third space proposed by Bhabha. This metaphor encourages the cultivation
of a new design environment, creation of new design associations and
circulation of shared design resources. Together these practices and
behaviours make it possible to nurture innovative methods and new
rituals for designing software with results and methods that represent a
distinct departure from the competitive and proprietary past, even
creating innovative artefacts that could not have been created without
the Third Design Space.},

Abstract = {We present an open-source software package Wannier Tools, a tool for
investigation of novel topological materials. This code works in the
tight-binding framework, which can be generated by another software
package Wannier90 (Mostofi et al., 2008). It can help to classify the
topological phase of a given material by calculating the Wilson loop,
and can get the surface state spectrum, which is detected by angle
resolved photoemission (ARPES) and in scanning tunneling microscopy
(STM) experiments. It also identifies positions of Weyl/Dirac points and
nodal line structures, calculates the Berry phase around a closed
momentum loop and Berry curvature in a part of the Brillouin zone (BZ).

Abstract = {Despite the best intentions of software architects, it is often the case
that individual developers do not faithfully implement the original
security design decisions. Such a scenario sometimes leads to a
situation in which while an architect claims the use of a secure
architecture in the form of some tactic, the corresponding source code
does not support the claim. To bridge this gap, the first critical step
is to verify whether the source code reflects at least some of the
structural or behavioral features required for a tactic. In this study,
we examine the extent of this discrepancy between an architect's vision
of what security tactics need to be adopted in the software and the
actual implementation. We accomplish this research goal by 1) exploring
an architect's intention to use security tactics, 2) checking whether
the tactic is manifested in the design, and finally 3) recovering the
evidence of efforts to implement the design in the source code. To avoid
limitations to accessing documentation and source code, we use open
source projects to conduct our research.},

Processing for reception and analysis of input data to decision making
on what actions and steps to perform, and even for communicating with
the database. A MySQL database will be responsible for holding the
information of the system and to handle them (adding, deleting,
retrieving, etc..). Even though the system will be designed for a
library to display information about the books available in it, however
the proposed system design will be broad enough to allow its
implementation in many other domains, making people's lives more

rationale from python email repositories},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF SOFTWARE-EVOLUTION AND PROCESS},
Year = {2024},

Month = {APR},
Abstract = {Group decision-making (GDM) processes shape the evolution of open source
software (OSS) products, thus playing an important role in the
governance of open source software communities. While these GDM
processes have attracted the attention of researchers, the rationale
behind decisions, that is, how decisions are made that enhance the OSS,
have not received much attention. This work bridges this gap by
extracting these rationales from a large open source repository
comprising 1.55 million emails available in Python development archives.
This work makes a methodological contribution by presenting a
heuristics-based rationale extraction system called Rationale Miner that
employs information retrieval, natural language processing, and
heuristics-based techniques. Using these techniques, it extracts the
rationale behind specific decisions (for example, whether a new module
was added based on core developer consensus or a benevolent dictator's
pronouncement). This work unearths 11 such rationales behind decisions
in the Python community and thus makes a knowledge contribution. It also
analyzes the prevalence of these rationales across all PEPs and three
sub-types of PEPs: Process, Informational, and Standard Track PEPs. The
effectiveness of our contributions has been positively evaluated using
quantitative and qualitative approaches (e.g., comparison against
baselines for rationale identification showed up to 47\% improvement in
the most conservative case, and feedback from the Python steering
committee showed the accurate identification of rationales
respectively). The approach proposed in this work can be used and
extended to discover the rationale behind decisions that remain hidden
in communication repositories of other OSS projects, which will make the
decision-making (DM) process transparent to stakeholders and encourage
decision-makers to be more accountable.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) has become an important environment where
developers can create, exchange, and improve reusable software assets by
collaborating with other developers. Although developers may find useful
software assets to reuse from OSS for their projects, they usually
experience difficulties in solving problems that occur while integrating
the assets to their own software. We investigated data from major open
source environments such as Sourceforge. net and GitHub, and learned
that there is a common pattern of solving reuse-related problems in OSS.
To analyze the pattern in detail, we have developed an ontological model
to formally represent the symptoms and causes of the reuse-related
problems, and the correlations between them. Based on this model, we
collected data from Sourceforge. net, and built a knowledge base for the
most common problem type. We extracted the core types of symptoms and
causes for the problem type and calculated the number of correlations
between the types of symptoms and causes. We found that there exist
correlations between the symptoms and causes that are extracted from the
discussion threads for the problem type, and about 60\% of them are
statistically significant. We also conducted a study to understand the
effective timing of recommending solutions to the developers by
analyzing the recall rates of finding the causes of the problems in a
timeline. We figured that most of the important causes of a problem are
discussed at the beginning of the forum discussion. This leads us to the
conclusion that recommending the causes of a problem early by using our
knowledge framework may help developers spend less amount of time to
solve the problem (around 50\% less time than solving the problem
without using our framework).},

Abstract = {Since their introduction in 1994 the Martin's metrics became popular in
assessing object-oriented software architectures. While one of the
Martin metrics, normalised distance from the main sequence D-n, has been
originally designed with assessing individual packages, it has also been
applied to assess quality of entire software architectures. The approach
itself, however, has never been studied.
In this paper we take the first step to formalising the Debased
architecture assessment of Java Open Source software. We present two
aggregate measures: average normalised distance from the train sequence
D, and parameter of the fitted statistical model a. Applying these
measures to a carefully selected collection of benchmarks we obtain a
set of reference values that can be used to assess quality of a system
architecture. Furthermore, we show that applying the same measures to
different versions of the same system provides valuable insights in
system architecture evolution.},

Abstract = {This article adopts a feminist perspective to examine masculine work
culture in the development of free/libre open source software. The
authors draw on a case study of the Heidi bug' discovered during the
development of the Mozilla Firefox web browser to examine how gendered
talk' was (en)-acted to facilitate bricolage' in an online work
environment. Such gendered talks contain cultural references familiar to
male developers. Though seemingly innocuous, such acts could be seen as
a performance of gender that simply reflects the hegemonic heterosexual
masculine culture manifested in an online virtual work space. The
virtual work space therefore can be exclusive to those who shared the
cultural references. Although it may not necessarily be ignorance or
insensitivity of male developers, a more gender-balanced, women-friendly
and inclusive workplace certainly would benefit from a more diverse
environment. This article highlights the gendered aspect of software
development through examining the language use and mainstream bricolage'
practice, and establishes a compelling ground for enlarging the talent
pool to include more women and integrating gender ethics (e.g., raising
awareness of sensitive language and design approaches) into computer
ethics education.},

Abstract = {A nonproprietary software package, ``PyMca{''}, primarily developed for
X-ray fluorescence analysis offers an easy-to-use interface for
calculating maps, by integrating intensity (of X-ray fluorescence, as
well as any spectral data) over Regions Of Interest (ROT), by performing
per pixel operations or by applying multivariate analysis. Here we show
that, while initially developed to analyze hyperspectral two-dimensional
(spatial) maps, this tool can be beneficial as well to anyone interested
in measuring spectral variations over one or two dimensions, these
dimensions being time, temperature, and so on. Different possibilities
offered by the software (preprocessing, simultaneous analysis of
replicas, of different conditions, ROT calculation, multivariate
analysis, determination of reaction rate constant and of Arrhenius plot)
are illustrated with two examples. The first example is the Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) follow-up of the saponification
of oil by lead compounds. The disappearance of reagent (oil) and
formation of products (lead carboxylates and glycerol) can be easily
followed and quantified. The second example is a combined extended X-ray

Abstract = {A growing body of literature has explored the motivation of firms to
take part in open source software (OSS) development, yet the role of
venture capitalists and their role in OSS projects is largely
unattached. Based on information from publicly available data, we
investigated the investment behavior of 37 VCs investing in 45 OSS
projects. To understand how these venture capitalists try to reduce
their perception of uncertainty and risk, we developed a 2 x 2 matrix of
diffrerent investment approaches. While the X-axis represents the
average age of a community/OSS product at the time of investment, the
Y-axis reflects the average round of a venture capitalist's entry. This
exploratory study illustrates how venture capitalists limit the level of
risk inherent in certain OSS investments and results in a number of
implications for communities seeking for external funds as well as for
investing firms.},

Abstract = {License compliance in Free and Open Source Software development is a
significant issue today and organizations using free and open source

licenses in free and open source software development leads to the loss
of reputation and the high costs of litigation for organizations.
Towards an automated compliance management, we use the Open Digital
Rights Language to implement the clauses of open source software
licenses in a machine interpretable way and propose a novel algorithm
that analyzes compatibility between free and open source software
licenses. Also, we describe a framework that inductively manages
compliance of license clauses in a free and open source software
development. We simulate and evaluate the formalized license compliance
management by analyzing a real-time open source software project GRASS.},

Abstract = {This paper aims to validate the mission-critical OSS (open-source
software) model acceptance process using a third-order
formative-formative measuring model. A two-stage formative-formative
model was used for partial least square analysis. It includes eight
primary mission-critical OSS adoption constructs and three second-order
(technological, organizational, and environmental). Although nomological
validity was affirmed, the empirical findings show the absence of
multicollinearity. This study will give organizations in critical
industries enough information to understand the importance and weight of
each component/factor of the mission-critical OSS adoption model. The
coefficient of determination R-2 exceeds the minimum threshold (0.750),
and all the hypotheses are significant. This study also contributed to
the existing literature by identifying those factors that influence
mission-critical OSS adoption, allowing firms in critical sectors to
better understand their mission-critical OSS adoption issues.
Cross-cultural validation across a broad community is proposed to
increase the validity and generalization of the sample scales.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) licenses regulate the conditions under which
users can reuse, modify, and distribute the software legally. However,
there exist various OSS licenses in the community, written in a formal
language, which are typically long and complicated to understand. In
this paper, we conducted a 661-participants online survey to investigate
the perspectives and practices of developers towards OSS licenses. The
user study revealed an indeed need for an automated tool to facilitate
license understanding. Motivated by the user study and the fast growth
of licenses in the community, we propose the first study towards
automated license summarization. Specifically, we released the first
high quality text summarization dataset and designed two tasks, i.e.,
license text summarization (LTS), aiming at generating a relatively
short summary for an arbitrary license, and license term classification
(LTC), focusing on the attitude inference towards a predefined set of
key license terms (e.g., Distribute). Aiming at the two tasks, we
present LiSum, a multi-task learning method to help developers overcome
the obstacles of understanding OSS licenses. Comprehensive experiments
demonstrated that the proposed jointly training objective boosted the
performance on both tasks, surpassing state-of-the-art baselines with
gains of at least 5 points w.r.t. F1 scores of four summarization
metrics and achieving 95.13\% micro average F1 score for classification
simultaneously. We released all the datasets, the replication package,
and the questionnaires for the community.},

Abstract = {Organizations exist because they provide additional production gains, in
comparison to horizontal ways of allocating resources, such as markets
(Coase, 1937), and the open source movement is deemed to be a new kind
of peer-production organization somehow in between hierarchically
organized firms and markets (Benkler, 2002). However, to strive as a new
kind of organization, open source must provide production gains, which
in turn should be measurable. The open source movement is particularly
interesting to study for this reason. Here, we confront and discuss two
contrasting views, which were reported in the literature recently. On
the one hand, Sornette et al. (2014) uncovered a superlinear production
mechanism, which quantifies Aristotle adage: ``the whole is more than
the sum of its parts{''}. On the other hand, Scholtes et al. (2016)
found opposite results, and referred to Maximilien Ringelmann, a French
agricultural engineer (1861-1931), who discovered the tendency for
individual members of a group to become increasingly less productive as
the size of their group increases (Ringelmann, 1913). Since Ringelmann,
the topic of collective intelligence has interested numbers of
researchers in social sciences and social psychology (Woolley et al.,
2010), as well as practitioners in management aiming at improving the
performance of their team (Woolley et al., 2015). In most research and
practice case studies, the Ringelmann effect has been found to hold,
while, in contrast, the superlinear effect found by Sornette et al. is
novel and may challenge common wisdom (Sornette et al., 2014). Here, we
compare these two theories, weigh their strengths and weaknesses, and
discuss how they have been tested with empirical data. We find that they
may not contradict each other as much as was claimed by Scholtes et al.

Month = {FAL},
Abstract = {Many developing countries around the world are frequently confronted
with a dual challenge of simultaneously developing IT infrastructure and
implementing software solutions. Some countries have successfully
created extensive information technology infrastructures, yet software
use continues to be reliant on pirated sources. The experiences of
licensing regulation violations and increasing virus attacks indicate
that part of the problem is a consequence of dependencies created by the
use of proprietary software within resourcescarce economies. Recent
growth in the use of free and open-source software (FOSS) by various
public-and private-sector agencies suggests an alternative path to
software self-suffciency for a resource-scarce country like Cuba. There
is, however, an interesting background to current software use within
Cuba that makes it unique among several less-developed countries. Apart
from the well-known advantages, FOSS use could be essential to shape the
future scenario of Cuba. The present paper first delineates some of the
Cuban background, basically characterized by lack of freedom in
technology ownership and access to external information. The potential
of FOSS use within existing conditions in Cuba is then analyzed.
Finally, conclusions are provided on the basis of a survey carried out
in Cuba, arguing that there needs to be stronger political will to
reduce gaps between goals and implementation reality to achieve
intrinsic advantages of FOSS use successfully.},

Year = {2008},
Number = {10},
Pages = {23-43},
Month = {OCT},
Abstract = {The paper discusses a trend in the development of computer software
known as ``strategic forking.{''} This trend is an intrinsic feature of
today's ``open-source community,{''} according to Konat.
To begin with, the article defines the term ``source code{''} in
reference to software{''} and it also explains the terms ``open
source{''} and ``free software.{''} Moreover, it introduces the
definition of Free/Open-Source Software (FOSS). In the following part of
the article, Konat offers a microeconomic analysis of ``strategic
forking{''} to determine the motives guiding software engineers taking
part in FOSS projects. The problem is discussed from the perspective of
the theory of public goods, the demand-side approach to innovation, and
other theories concerned with issues such as ``hackers' ethic{''} and
``ego boosting.{''} Konat pays special attention to describing the
``strategic forking{''} phenomenon with the use of classical
microeconomic and enterprise theory tools developed by researchers Jean
Tirole and Josh Lerner.
The author follows up with a comprehensive analysis of strategic forking
as a key to explaining a fundamental discrepancy in the assessment of
the motives that guide programmers taking part in the development of
open-source software. The analysis focuses on the definition of
strategic forking, the conditions determining this trend and its direct
causes. Konat also looks at the implications of strategic forking and
the factors due to which this approach has not become more widespread
around the world.
The article closes with a review of issues that require further
analysis, according to Konat. These include the issue of software
distribution.},

Abstract = {Federated learning (FL) enables training models at different sites and
updating the weights from the training instead of transferring data to a
central location and training as in classical machine learning. The FL
capability is especially important to domains such as biomedicine and
smart grid, where data may not be shared freely or stored at a central
location because of policy regulations. Thanks to the capability of
learning from decentralized datasets, FL is now a rapidly growing
research field, and numerous FL frameworks have been developed. In this
work we introduce APPFL, the Argonne Privacy-Preserving Federated
Learning framework. APPFL allows users to leverage implemented
privacy-preserving algorithms, implement new algorithms, and simulate
and deploy various FL algorithms with privacy-preserving techniques. The
modular framework enables users to customize the components for
algorithms, privacy, communication protocols, neural network models, and
user data. We also present a new communication-efficient algorithm based
on an inexact alternating direction method of multipliers. The algorithm
requires significantly less communication between the server and the
clients than does the current state of the art. We demonstrate the
computational capabilities of APPFL, including differentially private FL
on various test datasets and its scalability, by using multiple
algorithms and datasets on different computing environments.},

Abstract = {The Open Source Software (OSS) Innovation process is no more a foreign
face in the software development community as it is increasingly being
used as a platform for modern software innovation both in the commercial
and software research community. Although the concept of freedom is
mostly prominent with the OSS innovation process, less than 2\% of the
contributors are women in this male-dominated area. Minorities,
including women, are often ignored in its process. This paper presents
the case of lack of participation from women in the OSS innovation
process. Lack of participation and contributions from women in OSS
innovation creates an imbalanced population in the OSS-based knowledge
demography and an unbalanced proportion of gender distribution. Based on
a comprehensive review, this paper aims to suggest a
Constructivist-Technofeminist-OSS Innovation Process framework for
understanding female contributions in OSS innovation, not only from a
singular point of technical view, but also from social constructivist
and feminist perspectives.},

Open Source Software (OSS) projects from the perspectives of both the
instructor and a member of the OSS community. OSS is growing rapidly and
gaining market share in both industry (e. g., Linux and Mozilla) as well
as academia (e.g, Moodle, Greenfoot, and Drupal). OSS projects have a
culture built on volunteer participation to support software
development. Computing degree programs desire to involve students in
large-scale software projects to provide students with real-world
experience and an understanding of the issues found in large, complex
software projects. Involving computing students in OSS projects serves
both the OSS community by providing development resources for the
project while also serving the academic community by providing access to
large software projects in which students can gain experience. However,
the marriage of student and OSS project presents some challenges
including identification of approachable OSS projects, creation of
appropriate educational infrastructure, evaluation and grading, and
more. Panelists will address the factors that contribute to student
success in an OSS project.},

Abstract = {Optophysiological imaging methods can be used to record the activity in
vivo of groups of neurons from particular areas of the nervous system
(e.g. the brain) or of cell cultures. Such methods are used, for
example, in the spatio-temporal coding and processing of sensory
information. However, the data generated by optophysiological methods
must be processed carefully if relevant results are to be obtained. The
raw fluorescence data must be digitally filtered and analyzed
appropriately to obtain activity maps and fluorescence time course for
single spots. We used a Matlab (R) environment to implement the
necessary procedures in a user-friendly manner. We developed OpenFluo, a
program for people inexperienced in optophysiological methods and for
advanced users wishing to perform simple, rapid data analyses without
the need for complex, time-consuming programming procedures. This
program will be made available as stand-alone software and as an
open-source Matlab (R) tool. It will therefore be possible for
experienced users to integrate their own routines. We validated this
software by assessing its ability to process both artificial recordings
and real biological data corresponding to recordings of the honeybee
brain. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

Abstract = {Software development environment has been changing into new development
paradigms such as concurrent distributed development environment and the
so-called open source project by using network computing technologies.
Especially, an OSS (open source software) system which serves as key
components of critical infrastructures in the society is still
ever-expanding now. In case of considering the effect of the debugging
process on an entire system in the development of a method of
reliability assessment for the OSS, it is necessary to grasp the
deeply-intertwined factors, such as programming path, size of each
component, skill of fault reporter, and so on. In order to consider the
effect of each software component on the reliability of an entire
system, we propose a new approach to user-oriented software reliability
assessment by creating a fusion of neural network and software
reliability growth modeling. In this paper, we show application examples
of component-oriented software reliability assessment based on neural
network and software reliability growth modeling for the OSS. Also, we
analyze actual software fault count data to show numerical examples of
software reliability assessment for the OSS. Moreover, we develop the
testing management tool for OSS.},

how the mundane but necessary task of field support is organized in the

are motivated to provide this service gratis to others. We find that the
Apache field support system functions effectively. We also find that,
when we partition the help system into its component tasks, 98\% of the
effort expended by information providers in fact returns direct learning
benefits to those providers. This finding considerably reduces the
puzzle of why information providers are willing to perform this task

Abstract = {While research has extensively studied the group of voluntary
contributors and their motivation to participate in open source software
(OSS) development, we lack an understanding of how firm-sponsored
developers behave when they work for an OSS project. In specific,
firm-sponsored developers may face identification conflicts arising from
different social norms and beliefs inherent in both the organizational
culture of their employing company and dominant OSS cultures. These
conflicts may induce developer turnover intention towards the
organization and the OSS community. This research seeks to identify
identification-related determinants that drive turnover intention by
surveying Linux kernel developers (N = 321). This study finds, among
others, that perceived external reputation of the employing organization
reduces turnover intention towards the company while perceived own
reputation dampens turnover intention directed towards the OSS
community.},

Abstract = {Existing research provides little insight into how social influence
affects the adoption and diffusion of competing innovative artifacts and
how the experiences of organizational members who have worked with
particular innovations in their previous employers affect their current
organizations' adoption decision. We adapt and extend the heterogeneous
diffusion model from sociology and examine the conditions under which
prior adopters of competing open source software (OSS) licenses socially
influence how a new OSS project chooses among such licenses and how the
experiences of the project manager of a new OSS project with particular
licenses affects its susceptibility to this social influence. We test
our predictions using a sample of 5,307 open source projects hosted at
SourceForge. Our results suggest the most important factor determining a
new project's license choice is the type of license chosen by existing
projects that are socially closer to it in its inter-project social
network. Moreover, we find that prior adopters of a particular license
are more infectious in their influence on the license choice of a new
project as their size and performance rankings increase. We also find
that managers of new projects who have been members of more successful
prior OSS projects and who have greater depth and diversity, of
experience in the OSS community are less susceptible to social
influence. Finally, we find a project manager is more likely to adopt a
particular license type when his or her project occupies a similar
social role as other projects that have adopted the same license. These
results have implications for research on innovation adoption and
diffusion, open source software licensing, and the governance of
economic exchange.},

Abstract = {So far, the relationship between open science and software engineering
expertise has largely focused on the open release of software
engineering research insights and reproducible artifacts, in the form of
open-access papers, open data, and open-source tools and libraries. In
this position paper, we draw attention to another perspective:
scientific insight itself is a complex and collaborative artifact under
continuous development and in need of continuous quality assurance, and
as such, has many parallels to software artifacts. Considering current
calls for more open, collaborative and reproducible science; increasing
demands for public accountability on matters of scientific integrity and
credibility; methodological challenges coming with transdisciplinary
science; political and communication tensions when scientific insight on
societally relevant topics is to be translated to policy; and struggles
to incentivize and reward academics who truly want to move into these
directions beyond traditional publishing habits and cultures, we make
the parallels between the emerging open science requirements and
concepts already well-known in (open-source) software engineering
research more explicit. We argue that the societal impact of software
engineering expertise can reach far beyond the software engineering
research community, and call upon the community members to proactively
help driving the necessary systems and cultural changes towards more
open and accountable research.},

Abstract = {A new software for modeling pathological speech signals is presented in
this paper The software is called NeuroSpeech This software enables the
analysis of pathological speech signals considering different speech
dimensions phonation, articulation, prosody, and intelligibility All the
methods considered in the software have been validated in previous
experiments and publications The current version of NeuroSpeech was
developed to model dysarthric speech signals from people with
Parkinson's disease, however, the structure of the software allows other
computer scientists or developers to include other pathologies and/or
other measures in order to complement the existing options Three
different tasks can be performed with the current version of the
software (1) the modeling of the speech recordings considering the
aforementioned speech dimensions, (2) the automatic discrimination of
Parkinson's vs non-Parkinson's speech signals (if the user has access to
recordings of other pathologies, he/she can retrain the system to
perform the detection of other diseases), and (3) the prediction of the
neurological state of the patient according to the Unified Parkinson's
Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) score The prediction of the dysarthria
level according to the Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment scale is also
provided (the user can also train the system to perform the prediction
of other kind of scales or degrees of severity)
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first software with the
characteristics described above, and we consider that it will help other
researchers to contribute to the state-of-the-art in pathological speech
assessment from different perspectives, e.g., from the clinical point of
view for interpretation, and from the computer science point of view
enabling the test of different measures and pattern recognition

Abstract = {There exists two types of developers in Open Source Software (OSS)
projects: 1) Committers who have permission to commit edited source code
to the Version Control System (VCS), 2) Developers who contribute source
code but cannot commit to the VCS directly. In order to develop and
evolve high quality OSS, projects are always in search of new
committers. OSS projects often promote strong developers to become
committers. When existing committers find strong developers, they
propose their promotion to a committer role. Delaying the
committer-promotion might lead to strong developers departing from an
OSS project and the project losing them. However early
committer-promotion comes with its own slew of risks as well (e.g., the
promotion of inexperienced developers). Hence, committer-promotion
decisions are critical for the quality and successful evolution of OSS
projects. In this paper, we examine the committer-promotion phenomena
for two OSS projects (Eclipse and Firefox). We find that the amount of
activities by future committers was higher than the amount of activities
by developers who did not become committers). We also find that some
developers are promoted to a committer role very rapidly (within a few
month) while some of developers take over one year to become a
committer. Finally, we develop a committer-identification model to
assist OSS projects identifying future committers.},

Abstract = {Rework Management in software development is a challenging and complex
issue. Defined as the effort spent to re-do some work, rework implies
big costs given the fact that the time spent on rework does not count to
the improvement of the project. Predicting and controlling rework causes
is a valuable asset for companies, which maintain closed policies on
choosing team members and assigning activities to developers. However, a
trending growth in development consists in Open Source Software (OSS)
projects. This is a totally new and diverse environment, in the sense
that not only the projects but also their resources, e.g., developers
change dynamically. There is no guarantee that developers will follow
the same methodologies and quality policies as in a traditional and
closed project. In such world, identifying rework causes is a necessary
step to reduce project costs and to help project managers to better
define their strategies. We observed that in real OSS projects there are
no fixed team, but instead, developers assume some kind of auction in
which the activities are assigned to the most interested and less-cost
developer. This lead us to think that a more complex auctioning
mechanism should not only model the task allocation problem, but also
consider some other factors related to rework causes. By doing this, we
could optimise the task allocation, improving the development of the
project and reducing rework. In this paper we presented MAESTROS, a
Multi-Agent System that implements an auction mechanism for simulating
task allocation in OSS. Experiments were conducted to measure costs and
rework with different project characteristics. We analysed the impact of
introducing a Q-learning reinforcement algorithm on reducing costs and
rework. Our findings correspond to a reduction of 31\% in costs and 11\%
in rework when compared with the simple approach. Improvements to
MAESTROS include real projects data analysis and a real-time mechanism
to support Project Management decisions.},

Abstract = {Requirements engineering (RE) involves human-centric activities that
require interaction among different stake-holders. Traditionally, RE has
been considered as a centralized, collocated, and phase-specific
process. However, in open-source software (OSS) development environment,
the core RE activities are iterative and dynamic and follow a rather
decentralized software engineering paradigm. This crosscutting
characteristic of open-source RE can be conceptualized using the ``Twin
Peaks{''} model that weaves RE together with software architecture.
Although many weaving mechanisms have been proposed in recent years,
lack of theoretical underpinning limits a mechanism's applicability and
usefulness in different scenarios. In this research proposal, we
hypothesize stakeholders' social interaction as an ecologically valid
weaving mechanism of the ``Twin Peaks{''} in open-source RE. We further
outline a concrete research plan to examine the generalizability of this
weaving mechanism for three activities: requirements identification,
requirements implementation, and creativity in RE. Carrying out this
research plan will enable us to gain valuable insights to generate
guidelines for enhancing software engineering practice in relevant
areas.},

Abstract = {Commercial software companies face many challenges when competing in

use of open source software (OSS) has been proposed as a possible way to
address those challenges. OSS provides many benefits, including
high-quality software and substantial profits. Nevertheless, OSS has not
been effectively utilized in real business. The purpose of this paper is
to find what affects the utilization of OSS. For this study, we propose
a structural equation model (SEM) to analyze the relationships between
the quality factors based on ISO/IEC 9126 and OSS utilization. In
addition, we suggest an open source software utilization index (OSSUI)
based on the proposed SEM. The results provide us with the controllable
feedback information to improve user (programmer) satisfaction during
OSS utilization. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) cannot exist without contributions from the
community. In particular, long-term contributors (LTCs) (e.g.,
committer), defined as contributors who spend at least one year on OSS
projects, play crucial role in a project success because they would have
permission to add (commit) code changes to a project's version control
system, and to become a mentor for a beginner in OSS projects. However,
contributors often leave a project before becoming a LTC because most
contributors are volunteers. If contributors are motivated in their work
in OSS projects, they might not leave the projects. In this study, we
examine the phenomena involved in becoming a LTC in terms of motivation
to continue in OSS projects. In particular, our target motivation is to
understand what is involved in long-term contribution with other expert
contributors. We study classifier to identify a LTC who will contribute
patch submissions for more than one year based on collaboration in terms
of the code review process. In detail, we analyze what review feedbacks
encourage a contributor to continue with OSS project. Using a Qt project
dataset, we understand review feedback which affected contribution
period of the developer.},

Abstract = {The community-based open source software (OSS) development model has
emerged as a viable alternative to firm-based traditional software
development. The naturally evolving structure of collaborative
relationships among software developers is a major distinction between
the OSS development model and the traditional development model.
Conventional statistical methods that focus on individual cases and
their attributes cannot properly inform the management of the naturally
evolving collaborative relationships in open source project. We
emphasize social network analysis as a method especially suitable for
management of open source development projects, because it focuses on
relations among individuals rather than attributes of individual cases.
We show how open source development can be represented as a
collaboration network graph and how the network can be characterized by
various network structure metrics. We present four metrics as a starting
point size, centralization, density and clusterness; that are most
useful in revealing collaborative relationships in OSS development
process. We discuss how to generate collaboration network for OSS
projects and how to calculate the metrics. We further describe how these
metrics can assist in effective management of open source software
development process. We conclude by presenting preliminary empirical
evidence in support of the metrics.},

Abstract = {The use of open-source software in many institutions and organizations
is increasing. However, a balance should be considered between the
software cost and the cost of its technical support and reliability. In
this article, a maintenance system for wind farms will be presented. It
is connected to an information system for maintenance, called SNIFF
(Terology Integrated Modular System) as a general base to manage the
assets and as a support strategic line to the evolution of this system,
which incorporates on-condition maintenance modules, and the support to
the research and development done around this theme. The SMIT system is
based on a TCP/IP network, using a Linux server running a PostgreSQL
database and Apache web server with PHP, and Octave and R software for
numerical analysis. Maintenance technicians, chiefs, economic and
production management personnel can access SMIT database through SMIT
clients for Windows. In addition, this maintenance system for wind
systems uses also special low cost hardware for data acquisition on
floor level. The hardware uses a distributed TCP/IP network to
synchronize SMIT server master clock through Precision Time Protocol.
Usually, the manufactures construct, deploy and give the means for the
suppliers to perform the wind system's maintenance. This is a very
competitive area, where companies tend to hide the development details
and implementations. Within this scenario, the development of
maintenance management models for multiple wind equipments is important,
and will allow countries to be more competitive in a growing market. For
on-condition monitoring, the algorithms are based on Support Vector
Machines and time series analysis running under Octave and R open-source
software's.},

much larger project activity changes. In future work, we plan to focus
on larger changes to search for common open source lifecycle patterns as

Abstract = {Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) has become the fundamental
infrastructure of mainstream software projects. FOSS is subject to
various legal terms and restrictions, depending on the type of open
source license in force. Hence it is important to remain compliant with
the FOSS license terms. Identifying the licenses that provide FOSS and
understanding the terms of those licenses is not easy, especially when
dealing with a large amount of reuse that is common in modern software
development. Since reused software is often large, automated license
analysis is needed to address these issues and support users in license
compliant reuse of FOSS. However, existing license assessment tools can
only identify the name and quantity of licenses embedded in software and
thus cannot identify whether the licenses are being used safely and
correctly. Moreover, they cannot provide a comprehensive analysis of the
compatibility and potential risk that come with the term conflicts.
In this paper, we propose DIKE, an automated tool that can perform
license detection and conflict analysis for FOSS. First, DIKE extracts
12 terms under 3,256 unique open source licenses by manual analysis and
Natural Language Processing (NLP) and constructs a license knowledge
base containing the responsibilities of the terms. Second, DIKE scans
all licenses from the code snippet for the input software and outputs
the scan results in a tree structure. Third, the scan results match the
license knowledge base to detect license conflicts from terms and
conditions. DIKE designs two solutions for software with license
conflicts: license replacement and code replacement. To demonstrate the
effectiveness of DIKE, we first evaluate with the term extraction and
responsibility classification, and the results show that their F1-scores
reach 0.816 and 0.948, respectively. In addition, we conduct a
measurement study of 16,341 popular projects from GitHub based on our
proposed DIKE to explore the conflict of license usage in FOSS. The
results show that 1,787 open source licenses are used in the project,
and 27.2\% of licenses conflict. Our new findings suggest that conflicts
are prevalent in FOSS, warning the open source community about
intellectual property risks.},

Title = {THE IMPACT OF IDEOLOGY MISFIT ON OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE COMMUNITIES AND
COMPANIES},
Journal = {MIS QUARTERLY},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {42},
Number = {4},
Pages = {1069+},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Corporate involvement in open source software (OSS) communities has
increased substantially in recent years. Often this takes the form of
company employees devoting their time to contribute code to the efforts
of projects in these communities. Ideology has traditionally served to
motivate, coordinate, and guide volunteer contributions to OSS
communities. As employees represent an increasing proportion of the
participants in OSS communities, the role of OSS ideology in guiding
their commitment and code contributions is unknown. In this research, we
argue that OSS ideology misfit has important implications for companies
and the OSS communities to which their employees contribute, since their
engagement in such communities is not necessarily voluntary. We
conceptualize two different types of misfit: OSS ideology under-fit,
whereby an employee embraces an OSS ideology more than their coworkers
or OSS community do, and OSS ideology over-fit, whereby an employee
perceives that their coworkers or OSS community embrace the OSS ideology
more strongly than the employee does. To develop a set of hypotheses
about the implications of these two types of misfit for employee
commitment to the company and commitment to the OSS community, we draw
on self-determination theory. We test the hypotheses in a field study of
186 employees who participate in an OSS community. We find that OSS
ideology under-fit impacts the company and the community in the same
way: it decreases employee commitment to the company and commitment to
the OSS community. In contrast, we find that OSS ideology over-fit
increases commitment to the company but decreases commitment to the OSS
community. Finally, we find that employees' commitment to their company
reinforces the impact of their commitment to the OSS community in
driving ongoing code contributions. This provides a holistic view of OSS
ideology and its impacts among an increasingly pervasive yet
understudied type of participant in OSS research. It provides insights
for companies that are considering assigning their employees to work in
OSS communities as well as for OSS communities that are partnering with
these companies.},

organogenesis, biomass production and allocation, and plant
three-dimensional structure. Being a functional structural model, its
software implementation and test are costly. On the other hand, software
is a necessary tool to understand, analyze and apply the model. With
increasing scientific publications on Green Lab, need for a
freely-accessible software increased in the community of plant modeling.
Implementation of Green Lab has been done in Scilab, named Green Scilab,
which simulates generic plant structures from trees to crops. In this
paper, a new version of GreenScilab dedicated to herbaceous plants,
called GreenScilab-Crop, is presented. It allows flexible control on
plants, especially the position-dependent organ growth delay. A case
study is made on tomato plant for simulation and parameter

Abstract = {Program analysis is the process of statically or dynamically retrieving
the structure and behavior of software systems. Static analysis solely
relies on the availability of source code of computer programs, while
dynamic analysis captures program information using execution traces
during program runtime. The entire process is called software reverse
engineering, where the extracted information could eventually be
visualized to facilitate program comprehension for the sake of learning,
maintenance, etc. Open source software, in this context, plays a vital
role in developing, enriching, and validating program analysis
techniques. In this paper, we show and discuss how open source software
projects significantly contribute to the development, evolution, and
validation of program analysis techniques as well as enriching
reverse-engineered diagrams with useful and meaningful information, even
for those techniques that rely on dynamic analysis.},

Abstract = {Sequences of relational events underlie much empirical research on
organizational relations. Yet relational event data are typically
aggregated and dichotomized to derive networks that can be analyzed with
specialized statistical methods. Transforming sequences of relational
events into binary network ties entails two main limitations: the loss
of information about the order and number of events that compose each
tie and the inability to account for compositional changes in the set of
actors and/or recipients. In this article, we introduce a newly
developed class of statistical models that enables researchers to
exploit the full information contained in sequences of relational
events. We propose an extension of the models to cater for sequences of
relational events linking different sets of actors. We illustrate the
empirical application of relational event models in the context of a
free/open source software project with the aim to explain the level of
effort produced by contributors to the project. We offer guidance in the
interpretation of model parameters by characterizing the social
processes underlying organizational problem solving. We discuss the
applicability of relational events models in organizational research.},

Report-Back},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {18},
Number = {11},
Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {Sharing individualized results with health study participants, a
practice we and others refer to as ``report-back,{''} ensures
participant access to exposure and health information and may promote
health equity. However, the practice of report-back and the content
shared is often limited by the time-intensive process of personalizing
reports. Software tools that automate creation of individualized reports
have been built for specific studies, but are largely not open-source or
broadly modifiable. We created an open-source and generalizable tool,
called the Macro for the Compilation of Report-backs (MCR), to automate
compilation of health study reports. We piloted MCR in two environmental
exposure studies in Massachusetts, USA, and interviewed research team
members (n = 7) about the impact of MCR on the report-back process.
Researchers using MCR created more detailed reports than during manual
report-back, including more individualized numerical, text, and
graphical results. Using MCR, researchers saved time producing draft and
final reports. Researchers also reported feeling more creative in the
design process and more confident in report-back quality control. While
MCR does not expedite the entire report-back process, we hope that this
open-source tool reduces the barriers to personalizing health study
reports, promotes more equitable access to individualized data, and
advances self-determination among participants.},

Abstract = {Open source software development (OSSD) projects is a collaborative
process among developers and volunteers with common interests. OSSD is
increasingly becoming a trend and many successful OSSD projects have
contributed software packages which have been widely adopted.
Unfortunately, there is Pareto principle in OSSD projects, and a large
number of OSSD projects have little influence, many projects a re unable
to attract user interest. Therefore, it is important to understand the
factors affecting OSSD project success as measured by project
popularity. While technical factors such as license and compatibility
with certain operating systems have a direct influence on the popularity
of OSSD projects, development-related factors also have latent impacts
on the popularity of OSSD projects. Therefore, we collect data on 445
projects and successfully build a structural equation model (SEM) which
depicts the inherent relationships between development-related factors
and OSSD project popularity. The steps to build the SEM and the
implications of this model are discussed in detail in this paper.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) has become an important environment where
developers can share reusable software assets in a collaborative manner.
Although developers can find useful software assets to reuse in the OSS
environment, they may face difficulties in finding solutions to problems
that occur while integrating the assets with their own software. In OSS,
sharing the experiences of solving similar problems among developers
usually plays an important role in reducing problem-solving efforts. We
analyzed how developers interact with each other to solve problems in
OSS, and found that there is a common pattern of exchanging information
about symptoms and causes of a problem. In particular, we found that
many problems involve multiple symptoms and causes and it is critical to
identify those symptoms and causes early to solve the problems more
efficiently. We developed a Bayesian network based approach to
semiautomatically construct a knowledge base for dealing with problems,
and to recommend potential causes of a problem based on multiple
symptoms reported in OSS. Our experiments showed that the approach is
effective to recommend the core causes of a problem, and contributes to
solving the problem in an efficient manner. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All

open source software},
Journal = {EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MARKETING},
Year = {2012},
Volume = {46},
Number = {10},
Pages = {1368-1388},
Abstract = {Purpose - This paper seeks to explore how market orientation facilitates
the strategic flexibility of business models grounded in open
innovation. The authors suggest that the new paradigm of open innovation
may impact a firm's adaptability and responsiveness under conditions of
environmental flux. However, extending innovation capacity by opening
the innovation process poses major challenges for firms. The aims of
this study are to explore the characteristics of open innovation
activity and to contemplate the role of strategic flexibility in the
design of business models based upon open innovation.
Design/methodology/approach - The study draws upon a qualitative
research approach through a longitudinal case study in the field of open
source software (OSS). The empirical case illustrates how an OSS firm
utilizes signals in its environment to flexibly alter its business
model.
Findings - A business model that embodies open innovation raises
dilemmas between open and closed innovation paradigms. However, the
authors' case highlights that an ambidextrous approach that combines
market orientation with the principles of open innovation increases
profitability, shortens time to market through effective market access,
and enhances innovation capability.
Research limitations/implications - The results have profound
implications for industrial marketers, managers, management consultants
and business educators. They can use the insights gleaned from this
research to guide the development of business models that involve open
innovation. The results indicate that firms involved in open innovation
need reactive strategic flexibility to cope with the environmental
diversity and variability. However, this study analyzes a single case in
the field of OSS and one should be cautious when generalizing the
findings.
Originality/value - This paper improves the understanding of the
relationship between flexibility and market orientation. It combines two
areas that have previously been discussed separately, i.e. market
orientation and open innovation.},

Abstract = {Interest of scientific research on Open Source software and its
development process is frequent. The number of articles available and
the number of tracks or workshops on this topic in most relevant IS
Conferences is high. The usability of Open Source Software has been
scarcely considered until few years ago, probably due to the particular
role that the user has in such a development environment. In Open Source
software development, users and developers are not so different. Anyhow,
the diffusion of the Open Source software outside the development
community contributes to sharpen the distinction among these two groups
that are no longer equivalent. This circumstance has contributed to
increase the interest on usability of Open Source software.
Nevertheless, studies on end-users in Open Source contexts are still
young. This paper introduces a pilot study on end user's perception of
Open Source software. The aim of this pilot study is to identify how the
end user perceives the Open Source software (in terms of Usability,
Functionality, Reliability, Efficiency and Quality in Use).},

Abstract = {The rapid development of a new technologies lead to invariable
apparition of new evolving products on the market. For to keep pace with
competitor companies it's imperative than the enterprises to assure a
permanent training their employees adapted to market changes or trends
and enterprise specifically. Important is to make this activity with low
cost because employees training isn't a temporary enterprise activity.
E-learning represent today the best alternative solution to traditional
methods for organizations considering than hereby the employees have all
time access to the enterprise resources, knowledge and information's. We
present in this paper a model for e-learning sites built in the

Abstract = {Purpose In times of open and distributed innovation, many innovation
activities that are important for firms' products and services take
place beyond the boundaries of the firm and thus beyond firms' direct
control. A prime example for this phenomenon is open source software
(OSS) development, where multiple actors contribute to a public good,
which is also integrated into company-owned software products. Despite
the importance of aligning community work on the public good with own
in-house development efforts, firms have limited options to directly
control the OSS project or the project's outcome. This research reflects
on resource deployment control, a control mode in which firms assign own
developers to work for an OSS project to influence the OSS project, and
tests hypotheses on individual developer levels.
Design/methodology/approach This research tests the effect of perceived
resource deployment control on opinion leadership by analyzing employed
Linux kernel developers. Findings The findings show that developers who
perceive being assigned to an OSS project to enact control also exhibit
opinion leadership. This research also investigates boundary conditions
such as the OSS business model a firm operates and the reputation
developers assign to the developers' employer. Originality/value This
research is the first that is devoted to resource deployment control,
and the research closes with a discussion of implications for control
theory and the management of innovation beyond firm boundaries.},

Abstract = {This research is a study on the development of a framework for
successful Open Source Software (OSS) implementation in the Malaysian
Public Sector. A preliminary study was done to explore the state of OSS
implementation among government agencies since the launch of the
Malaysian Public Sector OSS Master Plan on July 16, 2004.
Semi-structured face-to-face interviews using open-ended questions were
conducted with IT managers and IT officers in the Northern Region of
Peninsular Malaysia. The preliminary study aimed at investigating the
usage of OSS and proprietary software, the level of OSS utilisation, the
level of OSS knowledge and training of ICT and non-ICT staff, software
development and acquisition model, internal OSS manpower capabilities
and skills, the user's perception of the advantages of OSS, the user's
perception of the risks of OSS, and the problems or barriers in OSS
implementation. The results of interviews show that there are many
problems or barriers in OSS implementation, e.g. lack of internal OSS
expertise, lack of OSS policy, and lack of top management support.
Therefore, this study will test the hypotheses on the success factors to
OSS implementation in the public sector and to propose a framework for
successful OSS implementation in the Malaysian Public Sector. A
quantitative approach using survey method via questionnaire will be
performed to answer the research question where simple random sampling
will be used. The target respondents are the IT managers and IT officers
among the sampling frame of 192 public sector agencies in Malaysia that
have successfully implemented at least three OSS solution areas.},

Abstract = {Over the past few years, open source software (OSS) development has
gained a huge popularity and has attracted a large variety of
developers. According to software engineering folklore, the architecture
and the organization of software depend on the communication patterns of
the contributors. Communication patterns among developers influence
knowledge sharing among them. Unlike in a formal organization, the
communication network structures in an OSS project evolve unrestricted
and unplanned. We develop a non-cooperative game-theoretic model to
investigate the network formation in an OSS team and to characterize the
stable and efficient structures. Developer heterogeneity in the network
is incorporated based on their informative value. We find that there may
exist several stable structures that are inefficient and there may not
always exist a stable structure that is efficient. The tension between
the stability and efficiency of structures results from developers
acting in their self-interest rather than the group interest. Whenever
there is such tension, the stable structure is either underconnected
across types or overconnected within type of developers from an
efficiency perspective. We further discuss how an administrator can help
evolve a stable network into an efficient one. Empirically, we use the
latent class model and analyze two real-world OSS projects hosted at
Source Forge. For each project, different types of developers and a
stable structure are identified, which fits well with the predictions of
our model. Overall, our study sheds light on how developer abilities and
incentives affect communication network formation in OSS projects.},

technique application and participation in the community. As a result,
we identified adverse conditions that were an obstacle to technique
application and modified the technique to make it applicable. We can
conclude from our experience that these changes were helpful for
applying the technique, although it was not easy to recruit OSS users to

Abstract = {Standardized, easy to use, and preferably open-source research software
is an important aspect in supporting and solidifying the wind turbine
community. To this end, three contributions in the form of open-source
software projects are presented in this paper. First, a community-driven
wind turbine baseline controller, the Delft Research Controller (DRC),
is presented. The DRC is applicable to high-fidelity simulation software
that uses the DISCON controller interface. The controller distinguishes
itself by the variety of available control and estimation
implementations, its ease of use, and the universal applicability to
wind turbine models. Secondly, in the wake of the DRC, the SimulinkDRC
graphical controller design and compilation environment has been
developed. Users having access to Simulink can benefit from the
convenient way of controller development the tool provides. Finally, the
FASTTool has been developed for educational purposes, by focusing on the
graphical aspect of wind turbine (controller) design. The tool
simplifies interaction with the advanced FAST simulation software, by
comprehensive visualizations and analysis tools. This paper demonstrates
and describes the functionality of all three software projects.},

Volume = {119},

Abstract = {We present a high performance modularly-built open-source software -
OpenIFEM. OpenIFEM is a C++ implementation of the modified immersed
finite element method (mIFEM) to solve fluid-structure interaction (FSI)
problems. This software is modularly built to perform multiple tasks
including fluid dynamics (incompressible and slightly compressible fluid
models), linear and nonlinear solid mechanics, and fully coupled
fluid-structure interactions. Most of open-source software packages are
restricted to certain discretization methods; some are under-tested,
under-documented, and lack modularity as well as extensibility. OpenIFEM
is designed and built to include a set of generic classes for users to
adapt so that any fluid and solid solvers can be coupled through the FSI
algorithm. In addition, the package utilizes well-developed and tested
libraries. It also comes with standard test cases that serve as software
and algorithm validation. The software can be built on cross-platform,
i.e., Linux, Windows, and Mac OS, using CMake. Efficient parallelization
is also implemented for high-performance computing for large-sized
problems. OpenIFEM is documented using Doxygen and publicly available to
download on GitHub. It is expected to benefit the future development of
FSI algorithms and be applied to a variety of FSI applications.},

Abstract = {Mission-critical IT systems are utilizing closed source software (CSS)
mainly due to reasons related to ``quality assurance{''} and ``continued
support{''} despite much better benefits of using Open Source Software
(OSS). OSS permits users to access source code for assessment,
amendment, and redistribution, which offers low dependency on a vendor
without license or maintenance cost. This paper investigates and
analyzes OSS adoption factors for ``critical IT infrastructure{''} by
conducting a comprehensive review of the relevant literature.
Furthermore, this paper proposes a framework that can help the critical
IT industry to have increased confidence in OSS. The proposed framework
utilizes the organizing logic of the Technology, Organization, and
Environment (TOE) framework, recommends factors that were recognized by
critically scrutinizing the studies found in the available literature.
To validate the framework, a questionnaire-based survey was conducted
targeting IT experts in critical sectors. The data integrity of survey
results was analyzed using Cronbach's alpha. Framework factors were
validated statistically using one sample T-test. The outcome indicated
that the factors were statistically significant as the p-value was less
than 0.05 for all the factors.},

Abstract = {Governments and financial institutions increasingly require that
environmental impact assessment and mitigation account for consequences
to both biodiversity and ecosystem services. Here we present a new
software tool, OPAL (Offset Portfolio Analyzer and Locator), which maps
and quantifies the impacts of development on habitat and ecosystem
services, and facilitates the selection of mitigation activities to
offset losses. We demonstrate its application with an oil and gas
extraction facility in Colombia. OPAL is the first tool to provide
direct consideration of the distribution of ecosystem service benefits
among people in a mitigation context. Previous biodiversity-focused
efforts led to redistribution or loss of ecosystem services with
environmental justice implications. Joint consideration of biodiversity
and ecosystem services enables targeting of offsets to benefit both
nature and society. OPAL reduces the time and technical expertise
required for these analyses and has the flexibility to be used across a
range of geographic and policy contexts. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All

Volume = {66},
Number = {7},
Pages = {558-570},

Abstract = {The aim of this research is to analyse how design and use are mediated
in Open Source Software (OSS) design. Focusing on the Python community,
our study examines a ``pushed-by-users{''} design proposal through the
discussions occurring in two mailing-lists: one, user-oriented and the
other, developer-oriented. To characterize the links between users and
developers, we investigate the activities and references (knowledge
sharing) performed by the contributors to these two mailing-lists. We
found that the participation of users remains local to their community.
However, several key participants act as boundary spanners between the
user and the developer communities. This emerging role is characterized
by cross-participation in parallel same-topic discussions in both
mailing-lists, cohesion between cross-participants, the occupation of a
central position in the social network linking users and developers, as
well as active, distinctive and adapted contributions. The user
championing the proposal acts as a key boundary spanner coordinating the
process and using explicit linking strategies. We argue that OSS design
may be considered as a form of ``role emerging design{''}, i.e. design
organized and pushed through emerging roles and through a balance
between these roles. The OSS communities seem to provide a suitable
socio-technical environment to enable such role emergence. (C) 2007

Abstract = {Seismic analysis and risk assessment of safety-critical infrastructure
like hospitals, nuclear power plants, dams, and facilities handling
radioactive materials involve computationally intensive numerical models
and coupled multiphysics scenarios. They are also performed in a strict
regulatory environment that requires high software quality assurance

conformance to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Nuclear
Quality Assurance (NQA-1) standard. This paper introduces the
open-source finite-element software, MASTODON (Multi-hazard Analysis of
Stochastic Time-Domain Phenomena), which implements state-of-the-art
seismic analysis and risk assessment tools in a quality-controlled
environment. MASTODON is built on MOOSE (Multi-physics Object-Oriented
Simulation Environment), which is a highly parallelizable, NQA-1
conforming, coupled multiphysics, finite-element framework developed at
Idaho National Laboratory. MASTODON is capable of fault rupture and
source-to-site wave propagation using the domain reduction method,
nonlinear site response, and soil-structure interaction analysis,
implicit and explicit time integration, automated stochastic
simulations, and seismic probabilistic risk assessment. When coupled
with other MOOSE applications, MASTODON can also solve strongly and
weakly coupled multiphysics problems. This paper presents a summary of
the capabilities of MASTODON and some demonstrative examples.},

Abstract = {The enormous challenges of mass spectrometry-based metaproteomics are
primarily related to the analysis and interpretation of the acquired
data. This includes reliable identification of mass spectra and the
meaningful integration of taxonomic and functional meta-information from
samples containing hundreds of unknown species. To ease these
difficulties, we developed a dedicated software suite, the
MetaProteomeAnalyzer, an intuitive open-source tool for metaproteomics
data analysis and interpretation, which includes multiple search engines
and the feature to decrease data redundancy by grouping protein hits to
so-called meta-proteins. We also designed a graph database back-end for
the MetaProteomeAnalyzer to allow seamless analysis of results. The
functionality of the MetaProteomeAnalyzer is demonstrated using a sample
of a microbial community taken from a biogas plant.},

Abstract = {Newcomers' seamless onboarding is important for online communities that
depend upon leveraging the contribution of outsiders. Previous studies
investigated aspects of the joining process and motivation in open
collaboration communities, but few have focused on identifying and
understanding the critical barriers newcomers face when placing their
first contribution, a period that frequently leads to dropout. This is
important for Open Source Software (OSS) projects, which receive
contributions from many one-time contributors. Focusing on OSS, our
study qualitatively analyzed social barriers that hindered newcomers'
first contributions. We defined a conceptual model composed of 58
barriers including 13 social barriers. The barriers were identified from
a qualitative data analysis considering different sources: a systematic
literature review; open question responses gathered from OSS projects'
contributors; students contributing to OSS projects; and semi-structured
interviews with 36 developers from 14 different projects. This paper
focuses on social barriers and its contributions include gathering
empirical evidence of the barriers faced by newcomers, organizing and
better understanding these barriers, surveying the literature from the
perspective of the barriers, and identifying new potential research
streams.},

Abstract = {This paper is an analysis of online discussions in an Open Source
Software (OSS) design community, the Python project. Developers of
Python are geographically distributed and work online asynchronously.
The objective of our study is to understand and to model the dynamics of
the OSS design process that takes place in mailing list exchanges. We
develop a method to study distant and asynchronous collaborative design
activity based on an analysis of quoting practices. We analyze and
visualize three aspects of the online dynamics: social, thematic
temporal, and design. We show that roles emerge during discussions
according to the involvement and the position of the participants in the
discussions and how they influence participation in the design
discussions. In our analysis of the thematic temporal dynamics of
discussion, we examine how themes of discussion emerge, diverge, and are
refined over time. To understand the design dynamics, we perform a
content analysis of messages exchanged between developers to reveal how
the online discussions reflect the ``work flow{''} of the project: it
provides us with a picture of the collaborative design process in the
OSS community. These combined results clarify how knowledge and
artefacts are elaborated in this epistemic, exploration-oriented, OSS
community. Finally, we outline the need to automate of our method to
extend our results. The proposed automation could have implications for
both researchers and participants in OSS communities. (C) 2007 Elsevier

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) solutions provide mission-critical services
to industry and government organizations. However empirical studies on
OSS development practices raise concerns on risky practices such as
unclear requirement elicitation, ad hoc development process, little
attention to quality assurance (QA) and documentation, and poor project
management. Event then the ability to produce high quality products in
such an environment may seem surprising and thus warrants an
investigation on effective QA mechanism in OSS projects. This paper
provides a preliminary exploration to improve our understanding of
software quality practices in different types of OSS projects. We
propose a framework of QA in an OSS project, elicit OSS stakeholder
value propositions for QA, and derive performance indicators. For an
initial empirical evaluation we applied these indicators to 5 releases
of 2 large Apache projects (Tomcat and MyFaces) to analyze the extent to
which QA aspects are commonly performed during development process.},

Abstract = {Efficient bug triaging procedures are an important precondition for
successful collaborative software engineering projects. Triaging bugs
can become a laborious task particularly in open source software (OSS)
projects with a large base of comparably inexperienced part-time
contributors. In this paper, we propose an efficient and practical
method to identify valid bug reports which a) refer to an actual
software bug, b) are not duplicates and c) contain enough information to
be processed right away. Our classification is based on nine measures to
quantify the social embeddedness of bug reporters in the collaboration
network. We demonstrate its applicability in a case study, using a
comprehensive data set of more than 7 0 0; 0 0 0 bug reports obtained
from the BUGZILLA installation of four major OSS communities, for a
period of more than ten years. For those projects that exhibit the
lowest fraction of valid bug reports, we find that the bug reporters'
position in the collaboration network is a strong indicator for the
quality of bug reports. Based on this finding, we develop an automated
classification scheme that can easily be integrated into bug tracking
platforms and analyze its performance in the considered OSS communities.
A support vector machine (SVM) to identify valid bug reports based on
the nine measures yields a precision of up to 90.3\% with an associated
recall of 38.9\%. With this, we significantly improve the results
obtained in previous case studies for an automated early identification
of bugs that are eventually fixed. Furthermore, our study highlights the
potential of using quantitative measures of social organization in
collaborative software engineering. It also opens a broad perspective
for the integration of social awareness in the design of support
infrastructures.},

Abstract = {At many scales in neuroscience, appropriate mathematical models take the
form of complex dynamical systems. Parametrising such models to conform
to the multitude of available experimental constraints is a global
nonlinear optimisation problem with a complex fitness landscape,
requiring numerical techniques to find suitable approximate solutions.
Stochastic optimisation approaches, such as evolutionary algorithms,
have been shown to be effective, but often the setting up of such
optimisations and the choice of a specific search algorithm and its
parameters is non-trivial, requiring domain-specific expertise. Here we
describe BluePyOpt, a Python package targeted at the broad neuroscience
community to simplify this task. BluePyOpt is an extensible framework
for data-driven model parameter optimisation that wraps and standardises
several existing open-source tools. It simplifies the task of creating
and sharing these optimisations, and the associated techniques and
knowledge. This is achieved by abstracting the optimisation and
evaluation tasks into various reusable and flexible discrete elements
according to established best-practices. Further, BluePyOpt provides
methods for setting up both small- and large-scale optimisations on a
variety of platforms, ranging from laptops to Linux clusters and
cloud-based compute infrastructures. The versatility of the BluePyOpt
framework is demonstrated by working through three representative
neuroscience specific use cases},

Abstract = {Software systems are usually designed in a modular and hierarchical
fashion, where functional responsibility of a system is decomposed into
multiple functional software elements optimally such as subsystems,
modules, packages, classes, methods, and functions. These elements are
coupled with each other with some kind of dependency relationships to
some degree, and their interactions naturally form a graph or network
structure. In this study, we generated the static function-call graphs
of several open-source software systems, where functions were the most
basic type of interacting elements calling each other. Then, we analyzed
the call graphs both visually and topologically using the techniques of
complex network analysis. We found the call graphs to reveal scale-free
and small-world network properties similar to the findings of the
previous studies. In addition, we identified the most central and
important functions in each call-graph using several centrality
measures. We also performed community analysis and found that the call
graphs exhibited a tendency to form communities. Finally, we showed that
analysis of static function-call graphs of software systems through
complex network analysis has the potential to reveal useful information
about them.},

Abstract = {It is becoming commonplace for companies to contribute to open source
software (OSS) projects. At the same time, many software organizations
are applying Scrum software development practices, for productivity and
quality gains. Scrum calls for self-organizing teams, in which the
development team has total control over its development process.
However, OSS projects typically have their own processes and standards,
which might not mesh well with a company's internal processes, such as
Scrum. This paper presents an experience report from Sony Interactive
Entertainment (SIE), where the ``toolchain CPU compiler{''} team
directly participates in the ``LLVM{''} OSS project. The team ran into a
number of difficulties when using Scrum to manage their development. In
particular, the team often failed to complete Scrum sprints where tasks
required interaction with the open source community. We look at how the
team redefined task flows to alleviate these difficulties, and
eventually evolved a highly modified process, dubbed TWINS (This
Workflow Is Not Scrum). We assess the revised process, and compare it to
other established agile methods, finding it bears a strong resemblance
to Scrumban (the SIE team was not aware of Scrumban previously). The
TWINS framework presented here may help other organizations who develop
software in-house and engage in OSS projects, to gain the best of both
worlds.},

use of solutions based on free and/or open source software. To identify,
among the available OSS-based BI tools, which is the most appropriate
for implementation in public bodies, it is necessary to apply some
specific model for evaluation and selection. The literature describes
several generic methods for assessing and comparing OSS. In this work,
we select a suitable method and derive a model for the comparison and
selection of OSS-based BI tools able to meet the demands of public
organizations. In addition, through a case study, we demonstrate how
this model can be used in the selection of a tool that can contribute to
the improvement of information management in an organizational

the Apache PDFBox project},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {159},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {Software interoperability is commonly achieved through the
implementation of standards for communication protocols or data
representation formats. Standards documents are often complex, difficult
to interpret, and may contain errors and inconsistencies, which can lead
to differing interpretations and implementations that inhibit
interoperability. Through a case study of two years of activity in the
Apache PDFBox project we examine day-to-day decisions made concerning
implementation of the PDF specifications and standards in a community
open source software (OSS) project. Thematic analysis is used to
identify semantic themes describing the context of observed decisions
concerning interoperability. Fundamental decision types are identified
including emulation of the behaviour of dominant implementations and the
extent to which to implement the PDF standards. Many factors influencing
the decisions are related to the sustainability of the project itself,
while other influences result from decisions made by external actors,
including the developers of dependencies of PDFBox. This article
contributes a fine grained perspective of decision-making about software
interoperability by contributors to a community OSS project. The study
identifies how decisions made support the continuing technical relevance
of the software, and factors that motivate and constrain project
activity. (C) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. This is an

Title = {A comparative study of challenges in integrating Open Source Software
and Inner Source Software},
Journal = {INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY},
Year = {2011},
Volume = {53},
Number = {12},
Pages = {1319-1336},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Context: Several large software-developing organizations have adopted
Open Source Software development (OSSD) practices to develop in-house
components that are subsequently integrated into products. This
phenomenon is also known as ``Inner Source{''}. While there have been
several reports of successful cases of this phenomenon, little is known
about the challenges that practitioners face when integrating software
that is developed in such a setting.
Objective: The objective of this study was to shed light on challenges
related to building products with components that have been developed
within an Inner Source development environment.
Method: Following an initial systematic literature review to generate
seed category data constructs, we performed an in-depth exploratory case
study in an organization that has a significant track record in the
implementation of Inner Source. Data was gathered through
semi-structured interviews with participants from a range of divisions
across the organization. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using
qualitative data analysis techniques.
Results: We have identified a number of challenges and approaches to
address them, and compared the findings to challenges related to
development with OSS products reported in the literature. We found that
many challenges identified in the case study could be mapped to
challenges related to integration of OSS.
Conclusion: The results provide important insights into common
challenges of developing with OSS and Inner Source and may help
organizations to understand how to improve their software development
practices by adopting certain OSSD practices. The findings also identify
the areas that need further research. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights

Abstract = {Given that eGovernment is likely to become part of development
strategies, the most desirable form of eGovernment is that which
promotes the domestic generation of intellectual property or, at least,
contributes least to the international intellectual property (IP)
imbalance. One way to achieve these ends is to implement eGovernment
using free or open source software (FOSS). This will reduce dependence
on software owned by major companies in developed countries. It could
also promote an IP generating capacity in developing countries. An
examination of the status of free or open source software in developing
countries in Southeast Asia reveals that governments in these countries
are aware of FOSS and wish to foster its use (but face considerable
pressure to use proprietary software). This examination also reveals the
presence of small but active groups seeking to develop and promote the
use of free or open source software. This article is comprised of a
discussion of FOSS (including that suitable for eGovernment), an
explanation of the importance of FOSS for developing countries, a
justification of government's centrality to the introduction of FOSS and
a consideration of policies and initiatives undertaken by governments in
developing countries in Southeast Asia. Copyright (c) 2006 John Wiley \&

Abstract = {During the Winter Simulation Conference 2001 the OpenSML-project was
presented and started. The OpenSML-project is based on the Simulation
Modeling Language (SML(TM)) and is an open source, web-based,
multi-language simulation development project guided by a consortium of
industrial, academic and government simulation consultants,
practitioners and developers. For the simulation community, the open
source movement represents an opportunity to improve the quality of
common core simulation functions, improve the potential for creating
reusable modeling components from those core functions, and improve the
ability to merge those components using XML, HLA and other simulation
community standards. This paper extends the OpenSML-project by using
universal, language independent XML-descriptions and code generators for
converting OpenSML-models to programs in Java, VisualBasic or C++. This
would be the first time a simulation model could-be transferred between
different platforms without manual changes.},

Abstract = {A monitoring system using an open-source device based on Arduino was
used to conduct an experiment inside a naturally ventilated greenhouse
and predict the ventilation rate. Three DHT11 temperature/humidity
sensors were used to measure the inside and outside temperature as well
as an anemometer with an air current speed sensor included for measuring
air current speed. The greenhouse was equipped with roof and side wall
ventilators. The ventilation rate was calculated via an equation where
both wind and buoyancy effect were taken into consideration. The goal of
this research was to develop an inexpensive system that could be used by
the producers as a reliable and accurate tool for measuring
environmental parameters inside greenhouses and other agricultural
buildings. The results led to the conclusion that the greenhouse's
ventilation rate was adequate and measurements were accurate. Therefore,
the experimental system's operation was reliable making it a low-cost
and energy-efficient solution for environmental management in
agricultural buildings.},

Abstract = {This paper assesses the effects of Stack Overflow code snippet evolution
on the security of open-source projects. Users on Stack Overflow
actively revise posted code snippets, sometimes addressing bugs and
vulnerabilities. Accordingly, developers that reuse code from Stack
Overflow should treat it like any other evolving code dependency and be
vigilant about updates. It is unclear whether developers are doing so,
to what extent outdated code snippets from Stack Overflow are present in
GitHub projects, and whether developers miss security-relevant updates
to reused snippets.
To shed light on those questions, we devised a method to 1) detect
outdated code snippets versions from 1.5M Stack Overflow snippets in
11,479 popular GitHub projects and 2) detect security-relevant updates
to those Stack Overflow code snippets not reflected in those GitHub
projects. Our results show that developers did not update dependent code
snippets when those evolved on Stack Overflow. We found that 2,405 code
snippet versions reused in 2,109 GitHub projects were outdated, with 43
projects missing fixes to bugs and vulnerabilities on Stack Overflow.
Those 43 projects containing outdated, insecure snippets were forked on
average 1,085 times (max. 16,121), indicating that our results are
likely a lower bound for affected code bases. An important insight from
our work is that treating Stack Overflow code as purely static code
impedes holistic solutions to the problem of copying insecure code from
Stack Overflow. Instead, our results suggest that developers need tools
that continuously monitor Stack Overflow for security warnings and code
fixes for reused code snippets and not only warn during copy-pasting.},

developers prior to cooperate with high betweenness centrality or degree
centrality and then closeness centrality, discuss that centrality

requires the adjustment of organizational routines to manage new OSS

standards are co-created in open communities for unifying the exchange
of information. The SPDX (R) specification is such an open data standard
to explicate and share OSS risk information. The development and
subsequent adoption of SPDX raises the questions of how organizations
make sense of SPDX when improving their own risk management routines,
and of how a community benefits from the experiential knowledge that is
contributed back by organizational adopters. To explore these questions,
we conducted a single case, multi-component field study, connecting with
members of organizations that employed SPDX. The results of this study
contribute to understanding the development and adoption of open data
standards within open source environments.},

Abstract = {It is of great significance to effectively and quickly identify the most
influential users in the open source software community, which can be
represented by a complex network. Traditional methods of measuring node
influence only consider some topology characteristics of the network, so
the results are one-sided. Because there are different interactive
behaviors among users in the community, it is necessary to mine more
interaction information, so as to give a more comprehensive measure of
node influence. In view of this, this paper proposes a method to
maximize the node influence of open source software community based on a
probability propagation model. Firstly, according to the relationship of
users and their interactive records on projects, this paper quantifies
the feedback of users on the project from three aspects (i.e. approve,
save and modify) and establishes a new probability propagation model
between users. Secondly, this paper proposes an algorithm(SIUF) to
evaluate users' influence in the open source software community based on
the probability propagation model. The algorithm fully considers the
interaction behavior of users in the community. In the first stage, the
user's own activity is taken as the initial ranking. In the second
stage, the influence of neighbor nodes is taken into account, and the
SIUF value of nodes is accumulated while the rich club effect is
weakened. Finally, the proposed theory and method are applied to GitHub,
a typical open source software community, and the correctness and
effectiveness of this method are verified from influence spread and
speed.},

Abstract = {Agricultural fertilization and irrigation are closely related to the
problems of agricultural yield, product quality, and environmental
pollution. Precision fertilization and irrigation is an effective method
to solve this problem. In order to precisely control plant fertilization
and irrigation, a monitoring system is designed and implemented using
open-source software, loose communication structure, industrial control
computer (IPC), programmable logic controller (PLC), and control and
monitoring devices. The control command management subsystem of the
system's upper computer is built using GoWin IPC, cloud server, mobile
devices, and 4G wireless network. Each application running in the upper
computer is developed using open-source software such as PostgreSQL,
Smobiler, etc. The fertilization and irrigation monitoring subsystem of
the lower computer was built using HollySys PLC model LE5107L and
different sensors for various data parameters as control units. The
system allows real-time remote monitoring and control of agricultural
precision fertilization and irrigation through mobile applications, with
an average communication delay of 1.45 s between the upper and lower
units, and less than 3 s overall, allowing for longterm stable
communication. The current system can adapt to the variable environment
in the field and has been operating stably in the field for 2 months.
This paper provides a convenient system construction solution for field
farmland where network wiring is not possible, and it has low
construction and maintenance costs, reliable operation, and a flexible
structure for agricultural applications. (C) 2022 American Society of

Abstract = {Context: Software-intensive organizations' rationale for sharing Open
Source Software (OSS) may be driven by both idealistic, strategic and
commercial objectives, and include both monetary as well as non-monetary
benefits. To gain the potential benefits, an organization may need to
consider what they share and how, while taking into account risks, costs
and other complexities. Objective: This study aims to empirically
investigate objectives and complexities organizations need to consider
and balance between when deciding on what software to share as OSS, when
to share it, and whether to create a new or contribute to an existing
community. Method: A multiple-case study of three case organizations was
conducted in two research cycles, with data gathered from interviews
with 20 practitioners from these organizations. The data was analyzed
qualitatively in an inductive and iterative coding process. Results: 12
contribution objectives and 15 contribution complexities were found.
Objectives include opportunities for improving reputation, managing
suppliers, managing partners and competitors, and exploiting externally
available knowledge and resources. Complexities include risk of loosing
control, risk of giving away competitive advantage, risk of creating
negative exposure, costs of contributing, and the possibility and need
to contribute to an existing or new community. Conclusions: Cross-case
analysis and interview validation show that the identified objectives
and complexities offer organizations a possibility to reflect on and
adapt their contribution strategies based on their specific contexts and
business goals.},

Abstract = {Engaging students in humanitarian free and open source software (HFOSS)
projects allows them to gain real-world software development skills
while helping society. Participating in an existing HFOSS project,
although ripe with learning opportunities, presents a number of hurdles
for faculty and students. An alternative to joining an existing HFOSS
project community is to participate in a faculty-led HFOSS project.
These projects provide the instructor with more control over the
learning environment, but often lack an active community outside of the
classroom. This paper describes a multi-institutional effort to engage a
community of developers in creating humanitarian open source projects to
support their on-campus food pantries. Food insecurity on campus has
become a national concern and many institutions have, or are starting,
food pantries to support the student, staff, and faculty community.
Starting a faculty-led HFOSS project involves making decisions not only
about the features of the project but also about community norms, tool
choices, project development workflow, and inter-institution
cooperation. This paper provides an overview of the creation of Libre
Food Pantry, a community who is developing a suite of projects that
support on-campus food pantries. It describes instances of using Libre
Food Pantry's projects in various classroom settings, the lessons
learned from these experiences, and the resulting discussions and
decisions made by the Libre Food Pantry Coordinating Committee. This
process has led to a community dedicated to easing the on-ramp for
faculty who want to help their students contribute to an HFOSS project.},

Abstract = {In large-scale open-source software projects, where developers are often
distributed across the entire planet, coordination among developers is
crucial. To estimate whether a state ofsocio-technical congruenceis
achieved, which is associated with software quality and project success,
we assess the alignment of collaboration and communication in such
software projects in terms ofcoordination requirements. By means of an
empirical study on a substantial set of large-scale open-source software
projects-the development histories of all projects sum up to over 180
years-we aim at shedding light on this issue. To this end, to take a
more semantic view on this phenomenon in comparison to previous work, we
do not only identify coordination requirements arising from files and
functions only, but also those arising from features. We found that
open-source developers fulfill coordination requirements intentionally,
but mostly those coordination requirements that arise from coupled
source-code artifacts, while they resolve simpler ones independently.
Furthermore, neither of the considered abstraction levels of source-code
artifacts (files, functions, features) is more suitable to construct
coordination requirements with respect to their fulfillment. This
finding strongly indicates that features do not play an as important
role in the development process as expected and commonly believed by the
research community in the area of feature-oriented and feature-driven
development. Finally, we identified notable evolutionary trends in the
fulfillment of coordination requirements and showed that far-reaching
social events (such as organizational issues) have a huge impact on
their fulfillment, both negatively and positively. The key findings of
our empirical study are that socio-technical relations are important to
understand open-source development communities and that the
incorporation of different abstraction levels for developer
collaboration does yield important insights to further improve the
evolution in open-source software projects.},

Volume = {25},

Abstract = {For a firm in an open source software (OSS) ecosystem, the requirements
engineering (RE) process is rather multifaceted. Apart from its typical
RE process, there is a competing process, external to the firm and
inherent to the firm's ecosystem. When trying to impose an agenda in
competition with other firms, and aiming to align internal product
planning with the ecosystem's RE process, firms need to consider who and
how influential the other stakeholders are, and what their agendas are.
The aim of the presented research is to help firms identify and analyze
stakeholders in OSS ecosystems, in terms of their influence and
interactions, to create awareness of their agendas, their collaborators,
and how they invest their resources. To arrive at a solution artifact,
we applied a design science research approach where we base artifact
design on the literature and earlier work. A stakeholder influence
analysis (SIA) method is proposed and demonstrated in terms of
applicability and utility through a case study on the Apache Hadoop OSS
ecosystem. SIA uses social network constructs to measure the
stakeholders' influence and interactions and considers the special
characteristics of OSS RE to help firms structure their stakeholder
analysis processes in relation to an OSS ecosystem. SIA adds a strategic
aspect to the stakeholder analysis process by addressing the concepts of
influence and interactions, which are important to consider while acting
in collaborative and meritocratic RE cultures of OSS ecosystems.},

Mozilla, Linux, and Apache, a vast majority of such projects fail to
sustain their development due to high levels of developer turnover.
While existing research in the area has offered a rich foundation, we
know little about how developers' perceptions of fit with the project
environment may be moderated by the sense of ownership they have toward
the project and how it may impact their turnover intentions. Using
survey data from 574 GitHub developers, we tested a model to examine the
impact of Person-Organization fit and psychological ownership on
developers' turnover intentions. Our results suggest that two relevant
dimensions of fit, namely, value and demands-abilities fit, negatively
impact turnover intentions and that their sense of ownership moderates
these effects.},

Abstract = {Many research institutions are building cloud-based information services
platforms (ISPs) that enable their researchers, scientists, and the
general public use information assets, share knowledge and experience,
and create sustainable communities. However, there is no guarantee that
when you build an ISP this will happen. Part of the problem is because
ISP providers lack the model to help them facilitate the building of
sustainable communities. In this paper, we present a model for creating
and sustaining communities on the ISP being developed by the National
Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) of Japan.
Inspired by the way Open Source software communities operate, we
describe the model concept, its settings, and the tools ISP communities
may need to support their contribution towards the development of
products and services. Our experience in the design and implementation
of the model provides useful insights into emerging ICT trends and the
means for ISP providers to identify, at an early stage, the requirements
for creating successful products and services ecosystem.},

Abstract = {Assessing User eXperience (UX) maturity is mandatory in the free and
open-source software (FOSS) community to avoid wasting resources on
projects that may fall short of expectations. Best practices suggest
employing UX Capability Maturity Models (UXCMMs), which often specify an
evolutionary plateau toward developing a UX-matured system and quantify
organizational UX maturity into maturity levels ranging from no or ad
hoc improvement to integrated continuous improvement. Numerous
generically developed UXCMMs exist. However, none is created for the
FOSS community, and less information is available to support their
perfect match. Thus, raise suspicions if they have proper UX maturity
influencing factors (UXMIFs) for the FOSS community or measure the right
thing. The FOSS community differs from traditional software-developing
communities and may have different dynamics and UXMIFs, necessitating
unique and new methodologies for their discovery. This study, therefore,
aims to identify the FOSS community's UXMIFs and evaluate the
community's knowledge of UX maturity-related concepts. Its findings may
help future researchers, practitioners, and other FOSS developers to
develop UXCMMs exclusive to the FOSS community. The study's design is
both qualitative and quantitative. It adopted a systematic literature
review, interviews, fuzzy Delphi Method, and thematic analysis to
collect and analyze data and present the findings. The study's sample
included sixty-two active FOSS projects, fifteen FOSS stakeholders, and
twelve UX experts. The outcome shows that 84\% of UX experts agreed on
the thirty-six FOSS's UXMIFs with threshold d = 0.143 and crisp values
greater than alpha-cut = 0.5. User feedback and adopted technologies
were ranked first, while learnability and use speed were ranked last.
Similarly, FOSS stakeholders have shown a shared understanding of UX
maturity, connected concepts, and impacting factors.},

participation and engagement research focuses on 5 main research topics
joining process, contribution barriers, motivation, retention, and
abandonment. The investigated studies provide more evidence on
motivation and contribution barriers but less on the joining process and

International financial reporting framework is checked over conditions
to allow value recognition of open sourced assets. Linux kernel
development value is estimated to reflect worth of open source
developments despite absence of book value due to inexistence of a
single cost source. Several attempts to estimate a valuation of open
source software have been performed previously. However, this study is
the first to judge suitability of accounting framework to report on this
value. The main finding is that open sourced assets do not fully
accomplish conditions to be included in financial reports. We seek to

Abstract = {Software evolution is a fact of life. Over the past 30years, researchers
have proposed hypotheses on how software changes and provided evidence
that both supports and refutes these hypotheses. To paint a clearer
image of the software evolution process, we performed an empirical study
on long spans in the lifetime of nine open-source projects. Our analysis
covers 705 official releases and a combined 108years of evolution. We
first tried to confirm Lehman's eight laws of software evolution on
these projects using statistical hypothesis testing. Our findings
indicate that only the laws of continuing change and continuing growth
are confirmed for all programs, whereas the other six laws are violated
by some programs, or can be both confirmed and invalidated, depending on
the laws' operational definitions. Second, we analyze the growth rate
for projects' development and maintenance branches, and the distribution
of software changes. We find similarities in the evolution patterns of
the programs we studied, which brings us closer to constructing rigorous
models for software evolution. Copyright (c) 2011 John Wiley \& Sons,

Year = {2021},
Volume = {28},
Number = {1},
Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {To guide software development, the estimation of the impact of decision
making on the development process can be helpful in planning. For this
estimation, often prediction models are used which can be learned from
project data. In this paper, an approach for the usage of agent-based
simulation for the prediction of software evolution trends is presented.
The specialty of the proposed approach lies in the automated parameter
estimation for the instantiation of project-specific simulation models.
We want to assess how well a baseline model using average (commit)
behavior of the agents (i.e., the developers) performs compared to
models where different amount of project-specific data is fed into the
simulation model. The approach involves the interplay between the mining
framework and simulation framework. Parameters to be estimated include,
e.g., file change probabilities of developers and the team constellation
reflecting different developer roles. The structural evolution of
software projects is observed using change coupling graphs based on
common file changes. For the validation of simulation results, we
compare empirical with simulated results. Our results showed that an
average simulation model can mimic general project growth trends like
the number of commits and files well and thus, can help project managers
in, e.g., controlling the onboarding of developers. Besides, the
simulated co-change evolution could be improved significantly using
project-specific data.},

industry and academia over the last few decades. Despite the innovative
structures they develop to support the projects, OSS projects and their

To manage the internal social dynamics and community evolution, OSS
developer communities have started relying on written governance
documents that assign roles and responsibilities to different community
actors.
To facilitate the study of the impact and effectiveness of formal
governance documents on OSS projects and communities, we present a
longitudinal dataset of 710 GitHub-hosted OSS projects with
GOVERNANCE.MD governance files. This dataset includes all commits made
to the repository, all issues and comments created on GitHub, and all
revisions made to the governance file. We hope its availability will
foster more research interest in studying how OSS communities govern
their projects and the impact of governance files on communities.},

Abstract = {Significant floods all over the world, including Romania and Bulgaria,
have occurred in the last years as result of climate change and extreme
meteorological phenomena manifestation.
Overland flooding, the most common type of flooding event usually occurs
when rivers or streams overflow their banks as a result of heavy
rainfalls or fast snowmelt. In European Union, flood defence management
is an essential part of the integrated water management and the European
Commission Directive 2007/60, regarding the estimation and management of
the flood risks, states that all the member countries have to achieve
flood risks maps till the end of 2013.
Flood hazard maps must be created to help the communities in finding out
which are the different flood risk areas and to provide public awareness
and useful information to local authorities and decisions makers in case
of possible flood events. Flood risk areas should be also identified and
delimited for future land use and development.
The development of risk maps assumes the existence and access to
extensive databases, detailed maps and GIS data depots for most of the
necessary information, as well as expensive software (i.e. ArcGIS, MIKE)
and skilled experts. Unfortunately, these criteria are not always met.
This paper presents an alternative method to prepare preliminary
floodplain maps, based on the use of Autodesk products and Open Source
software.
The purpose of the method is to introduce basic satellite image display
and processing techniques using open source software and freely
available satellite data to allow floodplain maps development without
using expensive software and unaffordable data. The method consists in
DTM (Digital Terrain Model) generation, rivers and watershed delineation
and hydraulic modelling in order to generate floodplain maps.},

Month = {JAN 2},
Abstract = {Respiratory rate (RR) is a critical vital sign used to assess pulmonary
function. Currently, RR estimating instrumentation is specialized and
bulky, therefore unsuitable for remote health monitoring. Previously, RR
was estimated using proprietary software that extract surface
electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform features obtained at several thoracic
locations. However, developing a non-proprietary method that uses
minimal ECG leads, generally available from mobile cardiac monitors is
highly desirable. Here, we introduce an open-source and well-documented
Python-based algorithm that estimates RR requiring only single-stream
ECG signals. The algorithm was first developed using ECGs from awake,
spontaneously breathing adult human subjects. The algorithm-estimated
RRs exhibited close linear correlation to the subjects' true RR values
demonstrating an R-2 of 0.9092 and root mean square error of 2.2 bpm.
The algorithm robustness was then tested using ECGs generated by the
ischemic hearts of anesthetized, mechanically ventilated sheep. Although
the ECG waveforms during ischemia exhibited severe morphologic changes,
the algorithm-determined RRs exhibited high fidelity with a resolution
of 1 bpm, an absolute error of 0.07 +/- 0.07 bpm, and a relative error
of 0.67 +/- 0.64\%. This optimized Python-based RR estimation technique
will likely be widely adapted for remote lung function assessment in
patients with cardiopulmonary disease.},

Abstract = {This study assessed the factors affecting the effective utilization of
KOHA by librarians in Nigerian academic and research libraries. A
descriptive survey was adopted using a purposive sampling technique to
select forty-five libraries over the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria
(twenty universities, both private and public, ten Polytechnics, and
five colleges of education). An online structured questionnaire was sent
to forty-five libraries. Thirty-six libraries completed the
questionnaire. This was analyzed by constraints to use, the extent of
use, and effectiveness of Koha using simple frequency and percentage.
The findings revealed that lack of institutional support, inadequate
information, and negative attitudes of librarians were some of the
challenges facing Koha in Nigeria. Based on the findings, libraries
should implement Koha and join the Koha software users' group for
effective understanding and utilization of all modules.},

adoption of OSS. Moving from mainly technical issues in procurement to
corporate IS governance presents OSS with new challenges beyond
outlining a business case for a particular OSS application. We draw
parallels to the business case for commercial software products (COTS).
Compared with COTS, OSS products seem to have several advantages, but
based on existing literature and a case study, we develop and discuss
the hypothesis that a major barrier may be the ``customer's{''}
uncertainty and unfamiliarity with OSS vendor relationships. We find
that corporate governance and architecture needs to be accounted for in
both COTS and OSS. This paper should be seen as a first step researching
the fit between procurement and delivery models for OSS.},

vulnerability impact will have cascade expansion. At the level of
vulnerability data analysis, aiming at the vulnerability propagation
problem, this thesis proposes a hierarchical propagation path search
algorithm based on open source software vulnerability knowledge graph,
at the same time, proposes a heuristic search strategy in both component
layer and class layer to reduce the search space complexity, which is
optimized from exponential down to polynomial. Furthermore, we propose
the optimal blocking concept to represent the cost of repairing the
entire propagation path, in order to measure the severity of the
project's vulnerability. As for the purpose of providing effective
suggestions on vulnerability repairing, we model the optimal blocking
calculation as the network flow minimal separate problem, then calculate
the network maximal flux to obtain the key dependencies with risks.
Finally, multiple case studies with various vulnerability dependent
risks show that the proposed algorithm can find software vulnerabilities
affecting specific projects effectively.},

Abstract = {The number of Open Source Software research papers has grown
significantly over the last few years. An important open question is
related with the investigation of how undergraduate students perceive
the relevance of open source software literature. To address this
question, we conducted a survey at University of Brasilia (UnB) where
500 undergraduate students were invited to rate the relevance of
research ideas contained in papers that were published over a period of
ten years. This paper attempts to investigate whether the Open Source
Software research produces results considered relevant to undergraduate
students. This way we can provide feedback from the students, offering a
way to produce useful and, consequently, more disseminated works among
Open Source practitioners. To answer about the relevance of available
work, we have tackled two questions: one about the scope of the studies
and another about the quality perceived by them. For the first one, a
systematic mapping was conducted, revealing a set of works composed by a
great diversity of results. Than, we applied a Survey in which students
could evaluate the relevance of these gathered works. The available open
source software research works seem to be very diverse and were
considered useful for students that contribute to the Open Source
Projects. 77.01\% of respondents answered that research conducted in the
Open Source Community is relevant and important to the community, as
well as to their professional and academic lives.},

Abstract = {Maintenance is one of the most effort consuming activities in the
software development lifecycle. Efficient maintenance within short
release cycles depends highly on the underlying source code structure,
in the sense that complex modules are more difficult to maintain. In
this paper we attempt to unveil and discuss relationships between
maintenance productivity, the structural quality of the source code and
process metrics like the type of a release and the number of downloads.
To achieve this goal, we developed a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN)
involving several maintainability predictors and three managerial
indices for maintenance (i.e., duration, production, and productivity)
on 20 open source software projects. The results suggest that
maintenance duration depends on inheritance, coupling, and process
metrics. On the other hand maintenance production and productivity
depend mostly on code quality metrics.},

to the conclusion that strategies to improve OSS usability are unlikely
to succeed anytime soon. The only exceptions will be OSS which enjoy
sufficient financial support from individuals and organizations, and
software that were developed by commercial software producers and later

Abstract = {Dendrite growth is a long-standing challenge that has limited the
applications of rechargeable lithium metal electrodes. Here, we have
developed a grand potential-based nonlinear phase-field model to study
the electrodeposition of lithium as relevant for a lithium metal anode,
using open-source software package MOOSE. The dynamic morphological
evolution under a large/small overpotential is studied in two
dimensions, revealing important dendrite growth/stable deposition
patterns. The corresponding temporal spatial distributions of ion
concentration, overpotential, and driving force are studied, which
demonstrate an intimate, dynamic competition between ion transport and
electrochemical reactions, resulting in vastly different growth
patterns. On the basis of the understanding from this model, we propose
a ``compositionally graded electrolyte{''} with higher local ion
concentration as a way to potentially suppress dendrite formation. Given
the importance of morphological evolution for lithium metal electrodes,
widespread applications of phase-field models have been limited in part
due to in-house or proprietary software. In order to spur growth of this
field, we make all files available to enable future studies to study the
many unsolved aspects related to morphology evolution of lithium metal
electrodes.},

Abstract = {Software evolution refers to the phenomenon of continuous software
change and growth after its initial development. A version control
system records all information about these changes. Several research
studies in the past have studied the historical records of changes of
open source software (OSS) projects and found them useful for
understanding the software evolution process. However, most of them
investigate the distributions of changes types, change size, and change
effort in an isolated manner. There is no work, to the best of our
knowledge, which takes a combined view of various dimensions of a
change. This study examines the change activity in 106 OSS projects from
three points of view: change purpose (type), change size, and change
effort. The common patterns in change type, change size, and change
effort are highlighted using the burst detection technique. The burst
detection technique helps in identifying the peaks in the time series
and compares them with the peaks of other time series. The results
indicate that the change-type activity of OSS projects is significantly
related with change effort, and change size for high and
moderate-activity clusters. Though for low-activity cluster, this
commonality of patterns is not there for all types of changes.},

Title = {Using the DEMO methodology for modeling open source software development
processes},
Journal = {INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY},
Year = {2010},
Volume = {52},
Number = {6},
Pages = {656-671},
Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {Context: Open source software development (OSSD) process modeling has
received increasing interest in recent years. These efforts aim to
identify common elements in the development process between multiple
open source software (OSS) projects. However, the complexity inherent to
OSSD process modeling puts significant demands on the modeling language.
Objective: In this paper, we propose that the Design and Engineering
Methodology for Organizations (DEMO) may provide an interesting
alternative to develop OSSD process models. DEMO exhibits two unique
features within the context of OSSD process modeling. First, DEMO
analyzes processes at the ontological level and provides high-level
process descriptions, instead of focusing on the implementation level.
Second, DEMO studies the communication patterns between human actors,
instead of the sequences in which activities are performed.
Method: We investigate the feasibility of using DEMO to construct OSSD
process models by means of a case study. DEMO models were constructed to
describe the NetBeans Requirements and Release process. In addition, the
quality of these DEMO models was evaluated using a quality framework for
conceptual modeling.
Results: Our results showed that our DEMO models exhibited a high level
of abstraction, thereby reducing the complexity of the OSSD process
models. In addition, the evaluation of the models developed in this
paper by using the quality framework for conceptual modeling showed that
the models were of high quality.
Conclusions: We have shown that the DEMO methodology can be successfully
used to model OSSD processes and to obtain abstract and high-quality
OSSD process models. However, given some potential drawbacks with
respect to understandability and implementability, we primarily propose
the use of DEMO within OSSD process modeling as an analysis tool that
should be complemented with other techniques and models for
communication and reenactment purposes. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All

Abstract = {Context: Architectural views serve as fundamental artefacts for
designing and communicating software architectures. In the context of
collaborative software development, producing sound architectural
documentation, where architectural views play a central role, is a
crucial aspect for effective teamwork. Despite their importance, the use
of architectural views in open-source projects to date remains only
marginally explored.
Goal: We aim at conducting a comprehensive analysis on an extensive
corpus of open-source architectural views. The goal is to understand (i)
what the ``history{''} of architectural views is, (ii) how architectural
views are represented, and (iii) what architectural views are used for
in the context of open-source projects.
Methods: We leverage a software repository mining process to
systematically construct a dataset of 15k architectural views. Then, we
perform (i) a quantitative analysis on the metadata of all 15k views and
(ii) a qualitative analysis on a statistically-relevant sample of 373
views.
Results: Most projects rely on a single architectural view, which is
often used to document a medium or high level description of the
architecture. Views are usually created at either the beginning or at
the end of a project, are rarely updated, and tend to be maintained by a
single contributor. Views usually adopt an informal colored notation
without a supporting legend and frequently report technologies used.
Deployment and control flow are the most recurrent viewpoints, and
commonly cover concerns related to software maintainability and
functional suitability.
Conclusion: The state of the practice about architectural views in
open-source software systems seems to favor informal descriptions.
Despite this, the effort needed to create views might hinder keeping
views up to date, and a common syntactic ground between viewpoints seems
hard to find. To address current needs, we speculate that a solution
could lie in defining and popularizing versionable, templateable views
that can be integrated in collaborative programming environments.},

Abstract = {Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) promotes software reuse and
distribution at different levels for both creator and users, but at the
same time imposes some challenges in terms of FOSS licenses that can be
selected and combined. The main problem linked to this selection is the
presence of a large set of licenses that define different rights and
obligations in software use. The problem becomes more evident in cases
of complex combinations of software that carries different - often
conflicting - licenses. In this paper we are presenting our work on
automating license compatibility by proposing a process that examines
the structure of Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) for license
compatibility issues assisting in their correct use and combination. We
are offering the possibility to detect license violations in existing
software projects and make suggestions on appropriate combinations of
different software packages. We are also elaborating on the complexity
and ambiguity of licensing detection in software products through
representative case studies. Our work constitutes a useful process
towards automating the analysis of software systems in terms of license

remarkable growth in the number of OSS applications in recent years.
Despite an increased number of studies on OSS project success, the
interrelationships among different success indicators of OSS projects
are not well understood in literature. The present study reports on the
interrelationships between the success measures of OSS projects, as
defined by the ability of the project to attract user and developer
interest, release management, project activity, and development
sustainability. To test the relationships hypothesized, we gathered data
from 1409 OSS projects over time (in two snapshots over a period of
eight months). The results show the following: (a) project activity
until any time period positively impacts the subsequent period's
developer interest and development sustainability; (b) development
sustainability positively drives user and developer interest; (c)
release frequency positively influences the next period's developer
interest, as well as development sustainability; (d) developer interest
positively drives user interest. These findings have implications for
both the OSS research community and OSS practitioners.},

Abstract = {Panoramic images to simulate two-dimensional of the real
three-dimensional space, presented to the viewer. And to provide all
kinds of manipulation of the image viewer function, you can zoom in and
out, watching the scene in all direction to simulate and reproduce the
scenes to achieve the real effect of the environment. Image Map
(pohotographic map) is a map with ground-sensing image, which is based
on aviation and space-based remote sensing image, the geometric
correction, in line with the line work and a little note, the graphics
object that the surface of the integrated Maps, is the use of aerial
photographs or satellite imagery, through the geometric correction,
projection transformation and the scale reduction, the use of certain
map symbols, annotation, drawing objects directly reflect the spatial
distribution of geographic features and map. Image Map is a video
content, the line designated elements, mathematical foundation, contour
decoration of the map. PTViewer is an open source Java project, which
could control in real time to read the perspective of the current
roaming and other information, but the panoramic view of the level of
the angle 0 is not roaming the map corresponds to the direction of the
north. Therefore, the paper puts forward a kind of orientation to
determine the true panoramic roaming the corresponding direction based
on open source software PTViewer. The experiment showed that the
panoramic orientation is much valid, which could link these two types of
data, and something useful is obtained.},

Title = {PREPs: An Open-Source Software for High-Throughput Field Plant
Phenotyping},
Journal = {PLANT PHENOMICS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {6},
Month = {AUG 9},
Abstract = {An open-source software for field-based plant phenotyping, Precision
Plots Analyzer (PREPs), was developed using Window.NET. The software
runs on 64-bit Windows computers. This software allows the extraction of
phenotypic traits on a per-microplot basis from orthomosaic and digital
surface model (DSM) images generated by
Structure-from-Motion/Multi-View-Stereo (SfM-MVS) tools. Moreover, there
is no need to acquire skills in geographical information system (GIS) or
programming languages for image analysis. Three use cases illustrated
the software's functionality. The first involved monitoring the growth
of sugar beet varieties in an experimental field using an unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV), where differences among varieties were detected
through estimates of crop height, coverage, and volume index. Second,
mixed varieties of potato crops were estimated using a UAV and varietal
differences were observed from the estimated phenotypic traits. A strong
correlation was observed between the manually measured crop height and
UAV-estimated crop height. Finally, using a multicamera array attached
to a tractor, the height, coverage, and volume index of the 3 potato
varieties were precisely estimated. PREPs software is poised to be a
useful tool that allows anyone without prior knowledge of programming to
extract crop traits for phenotyping.},

Abstract = {Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities often use open bug
reporting to allow users to participate by reporting bugs. This practice
can lead to more duplicate reports, as users can be less rigorous about
researching existing bug reports. This paper examines how FOSS projects
deal with duplicate bug reports. We examined 12 FOSS projects: 4 small,
4 medium and 4 large, where size was determined by number of code
contributors. First, we found that contrary to what has been reported
from studies of individual large projects like Mozilla and Eclipse,
duplicate bug reports are a problem for FOSS projects, especially
medium-sized, which struggle with a large number of submissions without
the resources of large projects. Second, we found that the focus of a
project does not affect the number of duplicate bug reports. Our
findings indicate a need for additional scaffolding and training for bug
reporters.},

Abstract = {Software developing communities are shifting to open source software

successive releases, thereby improving its quality and reliability.
Multi-release development of OSS can provide an opportunity to inculcate
the dynamic needs of the user in a very short span of time to survive in
the market. In spite of having these benefits, numerous challenges can
be faced during the multi-release OSS development. Some of the
challenges can be the generation of errors during the addition of new
features. To address the changing fault detection process, a change
point phenomenon is considered so as to give more practicality to the
model. In this article, we present a general framework for multi-release
OSS modelling incorporating imperfect debugging and change points.
Parameter estimation and model validation is done on the three releases
of Apache, an open source software project.},

Title = {An Enterprise Perspective on Customer Value Propositions for Open Source
Software},
Journal = {TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION MANAGEMENT REVIEW},
Year = {2012},
Pages = {28-36},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Research on open source software (OSS) has examined value creation
primarily from the perspective of the individuals and suppliers that
create the software. The perspective of enterprise users who use and pay
for OSS has been largely neglected so far. Understanding what paying
customers want and how to create products and services they value is the
cornerstone of any business model. Therefore, research on what
enterprise users value in OSS is of paramount importance to OSS solution
suppliers; it can be used to create a new customer base and sustain an
existing one.
This study examines the value of OSS as perceived by enterprise
customers. Through an analysis of three literature streams (firm
participation in open source software, business models, and customer
value), a model on customer value creation was developed. Interviews
were conducted with nine decision makers from enterprises that use OSS
in operational projects. The key findings of this research are that: i)
the maturity of the software determines the degree to which customers
value their relationship with the supplier; ii) customers value
differentiating functionality and costs savings; and iii) switching
costs with OSS depend on the size, complexity, and dependencies of the
software itself. This research identifies the points of value that the
suppliers of OSS should focus on, and it points to the need for
marketing strategies that can demonstrate this value to enterprise
customers.},

Journal = {EPL},
Year = {2007},
Volume = {77},

Abstract = {We have investigated the origin of fluctuations in the aggregated
behaviour of an open-source software community. In a recent series of
papers (DE MENEZES M. A. and BARABASI A.-L., Phys. Rev. Lett., 92 (
2004) 28701; 93 ( 2004) 68701; YOOK S. H. and de MENEZES M. A.,
Europhys. Lett., 72 ( 2005) 541), de Menezes and co-workers have shown
how to separate internal dynamics from external fluctuations by
capturing the simultaneous activity of many system's components. In
spite of software development being a planned activity, the analysis of
fluctuations reveals how external driving forces can be only observed at
weekly and higher time scales. Hourly and higher change frequencies
mostly relate to internal maintenance activities. There is a crossover
from endogenous to exogenous activity depending on the average number
of. le changes. This new evidence suggests that software development is
a non-homogeneous design activity where stronger efforts focus in a few
project files. The crossover can be explained with a Langevin equation
associated to the cascading process, where changes to any. le trigger
additional changes to its neighbours in the software network. In
addition, analysis of fluctuations enables us to detect whether a
software system can be decomposed into several subsystems with different
development dynamics. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2007.},

Abstract = {The identification of an unknown deceased person is an important task in
forensic anthropology. There are various methods for identification,
such as fingerprinting, odontostomatology and genetic fingerprinting,
which presuppose the existence of reference material of the missing
person; however, if there is no evidence of a person's identity the only
possibility is often the use of forensic facial soft tissue
reconstruction. This method is based on the high recognition level of a
human face on the basis of bony structures of the skull and its
anatomical features.
The aim of this study was the design and application of a novel process
for a computer-aided 3D facial soft tissue reconstruction on the basis
of digital photographs of a skull.
The facial soft tissue reconstruction was carried out on a selected
forensic case and based on open source software.
A complete facial soft tissue reconstruction of the deceased person was
created based on 76 photographs of the skull taken with a Nikon D7100
SLR digital camera. The results show that for actual comparison images
similar reconstruction results can be achieved. In addition, a model
library for facial features was created.
The presented workflow of a computer-aided 3D facial soft tissue
reconstruction based on open source software is a cost-effective and
flexible alternative to conventional reconstruction methods. It could be
demonstrated that comparable reconstruction results can be achieved.
Whether the reconstruction result actually leads to the recognition of
the person depends on many other factors.},

Abstract = {Without newcomers, open source software (OSS) projects are hardly
sustainable. Yet, newcomers face a steep learning curve during OSS
onboarding in which they must overcome a multitude of technical, social,
and knowledge barriers. To ease the onboarding process, OSS communities
are utilizing mentoring, task recommendation (e.g., ``good first
issues{''}), and engagement programs (e.g., Google Summer of Code).
However, newcomers must first cultivate their motivation for OSS
contribution and learn the necessary preliminaries before they can take
advantage of these mechanisms. We believe this gap can be filled by a
dedicated, practice-oriented OSS onboarding course. In this paper, we
present our experience of teaching an OSS onboarding course at Peking
University. The course contains a series of lectures, labs, and invited
talks to prepare students with the required skills and motivate them to
contribute to OSS. In addition, students are required to complete a
semester-long course project in which they plan and make actual
contributions to OSS projects. They can either contribute to some
recommended OSS projects with dedicated mentors, or contribute to any
OSS project they prefer. Finally, 16 out of the 19 enrolled students
have successfully contributed to OSS projects, and five have retained.
However, the onboarding trajectories, final contributions, and retention
outcomes differ vastly between the two groups of students with different
course project choices, yielding lessons for software engineering
education.},

infrastructure. Open source STIR library is currently suitable for
reconstructing and manipulating data from Positron Emission Tomography
(PET) and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), which are
based on cylindrical scanner geometries. Although pCT has a
non-cylindrical geometry, STIR provides the framework for single event
detection and modelling of the proton interactions. This initial
implementation includes classes and functions with new features such as
general proton scanner geometry, binning of list mode proton data into
sinograms and uses analytical reconstruction algorithms already
available in STIR. The structure of the new implemented features is
discussed. Future work will include additional components to establish
STIR as a potential toolkit for pCT image reconstruction.},

Abstract = {Measurements can be done with classical terrestrial techniques in
geodetic deformation networks, as well as by using Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) technique, which is one of the most widely used
modern techniques today. GNSS is a high-accuracy technique that is
widely used today for monitoring and detecting deformations in the
earth's crust and engineering structures. However, difficulties are
encountered in the evaluation of measurements due to the intensive use
of statistics in deformation analysis and the high numerical calculation
load. Considering the possible consequences of deformations in the
earth's crust and engineering structures, strategies and evaluation
software are needed to determine them quickly. In this study, an
open-source software that can be used in the analysis of deformation
surveys carried out in campaigns with the static GNSS technique were
developed by using R programming language since open-source deformation
analysis software is missing in the field of deformation analysis. The
method chosen for the determination of deformations is presented. The
general features of the developed software are introduced, and a case
study was carried out to test the computational performance of the
software and to investigate which parameters are effective in
determining the amount of deformation in GNSS networks correctly. As a
result of the study, it was seen that ambiguity resolution rates and
ionospheric activity affect the accuracy of the deformations determined
in GNSS networks.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) is distributed and maintained collaboratively
by developers all over the world. However, frequent personnel turnover
and lack of organizational management makes it difficult to capture the
actual development effort. Various OSS maintenance effort estimation
approaches have been developed to provide a way to understand and
estimate development effort. The goal of this study is to identify the
current state of art of the existing maintenance effort estimation
approaches for OSS. We performed a systematic literature review on the
relevant studies published in the period between 2000-2015 by both
automatic and manual searches from different sources. We derived a set
of keywords from the research questions and established selection
criteria to carefully choose the papers to evaluate. 29 out of 3,312
papers were selected based on a well designed selection process. Our
results show that the commonly used OSS maintenance effort estimation
methods are actual effort estimation and maintenance activity time
prediction; the most commonly used metrics and factors for actual effort
estimation are source code measurements and people related metrics; the
most commonly mentioned activity for maintenance activity time
prediction is bug fixing. Accuracy measures and cross validation is used
for validating the estimation models. Based on the above findings, we
identified the issues in evaluation methods for actual maintenance
effort estimations and the needs for quantitative OSS maintenance effort
inference from size-related metrics. Meanwhile, we highlighted
individual contribution and performance measurement as a novel and
promising research area.},

Abstract = {In this paper, we present Bender, an interactive and freely available
software application for changing the pose of anatomical models that are
represented as labeled, voxel-based volumes.
Voxelized anatomical models are used in numerous applications including
the computation of specific absorption rates associated with cell phone
transmission energies, radiation therapy, and electromagnetic dosimetry
simulation. Other applications range from the study of ergonomics to the
design of clothing. Typically, the anatomical pose of a voxelized model
is limited by the imaging device used to acquire the source anatomical
data; however, absorption of emitted energies and the fit of clothes
will change based on anatomic pose.
Bender provides an intuitive, workflow-based user-interface to an
extensible framework for changing the pose of anatomic models. Bender is
implemented as a customized version of 3D Slicer, an image analysis and
visualization framework that is widely used in the medical computing
research community. The currently available repositioning methods in
Bender are based on computer-graphics techniques for rigging, skinning,
and resampling voxelized anatomical models. In this paper we present the
software and compare two resampling methods: a novel extension to dual
quaternions and finite element modeling (FEM) techniques. We show that
FEM can be used to quickly and effectively resample repositioned
anatomic models.},

Abstract = {The development of World Wide Web (WWW) a little more than a decade ago
has caused an information explosion that needs an Intelligent Web (IW)
for users to easily control their information and commercial needs.
Therefore, engineering schools have offered a variety of IW courses to
cultivate hands-on experience and training for industrial systems. In
this study, Open Source Software Engineering Theory (OSSET) project
course has been designed to help students learn theoretical concepts of
IW, practice advanced technical skills, and discover knowledge to solve
problem. Undergraduate Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
(STEM) students involved in the development of innovative approaches and
techniques. They are able to help solve the problems of disease
misdiagnoses that medical and healthcare professionals experience. They
co-authored and presented numerous research papers introducing the
solution in different conferences. This study provides the solution in
the form of an Intelligent OSSET using Service-Oriented Architecture
(SOA) to decrease disease misdiagnosis in healthcare.
The proposed project course has become a way to establish an
``Intelligent Open Source Software Engineering for Healthcare IT{''}
center in our department. Results show that this new course strengthens
the capacity and quality of STEM undergraduate degree programs and the
number of overall graduate student enrollment. It promotes a vigorous
STEM academic environment and increases the number of students entering
STEM careers. It expands the breadth of faculty and student involvement
in research and development. It enhances and leverages the active
engagement of faculty technology transfer and translational research. It
improves and develops new relationships between educational institutions
and research funding entities to broaden the university's research
portfolio and increase funding. The proposed project course is a
software engineering research methodology, an educational tool, and a
teaching technique is needed in future medical and health IT fields.},

reports on attitudes towards Open Source software within that sector.
Our results show a high level of acceptance of Open Source products with
large, well established communities, and not only at the level of the
operating system. Control over the software is seen as fundamentally
important. Other key perceptions with Open Source are an easing of
long-term maintenance problems and ready availability of support. The
classical strengths of Open Source, namely mass inspection, ease of
conducting trials, longevity and source code access for debugging, were
at the forefront of thinking. However, there was an acknowledgement that
more guidelines are needed for assessing Open Source software and

Abstract = {Background: The number of reported empirical studies of Open Source
Software (OSS) has continuously been increasing. However, there has been
no effort to systematically review the state of the practice of
reporting empirical studies of OSS with respect to the recommended
standards of performing and reporting empirical studies in software
engineering. It is important to understand, how to report empirical
studies of OSS in order to make them useful for practitioners and
researchers.
Research aim: The aim of our research is to gain insights in the state
of the practice of reporting empirical studies of OSS in order to
identify the gaps to be filled for improving the quality of evidence
being provided for OSS.
Method: To that end, we decided to systematically review the empirical
studies of OSS. A total of 63 papers reporting empirical studies were
selected from the four editions of the Proceedings of the International
Conference on Open Source Systems. The data were extracted and
synthesised from the selected papers for analysis.
Results and conclusions: We have found that the quality of the reported
OSS-related empirical studies needs to be significantly improved. Based
on the results of our systematic review and general principles of
reporting good empirical research, we present a set of guidelines for
reporting OSS-related empirical studies. The suggested guidelines are
expected to help the research community to improve the quality of
reported studies.},

Abstract = {Smart health care, smart transportation, smart buildings, smart homes,
smart water networks and smart electric grids may form the main parts of
future smart cities. Standard communication protocols facilitate
interconnectivity between software components and assure
interoperability between different stakeholders of these components. For
electric grids, standards introduce an open Smart Grid for liberalized
service-oriented electricity markets by smoothing the way for business
interactions and trades. Many organizations such as IEC and IEEE are
introducing their standard communication protocols for future smart
power grids and their associated smart meters. These standards include
but not limited to, IEEE 802, IEEE 1815, IEEE 1901, IEC 62056, IEC
60870-5-104, IEC 61850, etc. For smart buildings, smart homes and some
wireless sensor networks (WSN), ZigBee is widely used. For smart roads,
Internet of Things (IoT) is used in some cases including its messaging
protocol Constraint Application Protocol (CoAP) together with WSN. In
this paper, open source software (OSS) implementation of such standard
protocols is discussed, including obstacles and advantages of a such
implementation. Moreover, wireless telecommunication infrastructures
including Wi-Fi, ZigBee, and Bluetooth are investigated for the right
choice of Smart City applications' infrastructure, since the employment
of a standard should be compatible with the field of application, timing
requirements and data transmission rate.},

Title = {Analyzing Key Features of Open Source Software Survivability with Random
Forest},
Journal = {APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL},
Year = {2025},
Volume = {15},
Number = {2},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) projects rely on voluntary contributions, but
their long-term survivability depends on sustained community engagement
and effective problem-solving. Survivability, critical for maintaining
project quality and trustworthiness, is closely linked to issue
activity, as unresolved issues reflect a decline in maintenance capacity
and problem-solving ability. Thus, analyzing issue retention rates
provides valuable insights into a project's health. This study evaluates
OSS survivability by identifying the features that influence issue
activity and analyzing their relationships with survivability.
Kaplan-Meier survival analysis is employed to quantify issue activity
and visualize trends in unresolved issue rates, providing a measure of
project maintenance dynamics. A random forest model is used to examine
the relationships between project features-such as popularity metrics,
community engagement, code complexity, and project age-and issue
retention rates. The results show that stars significantly reduce issue
retention rates, with rates dropping from 0.62 to 0.52 as stars increase
to 4000, while larger codebases, higher cyclomatic complexity, and older
project age are associated with unresolved issue rates, rising by up to
15\%. Forks also have a nonlinear impact, initially stabilizing
retention rates but increasing unresolved issues as contributions became
unmanageable. By identifying these critical factors and quantifying
their impacts, this research offers actionable insights for OSS project
managers to enhance project survivability and address key maintenance
challenges, ensuring sustainable long-term success.},

Abstract = {A good climatic analysis requires accurate and homogeneous daily
precipitation series; unluckily, inhomogeneity is frequently found and
have to be considered, especially when it is due to non-climatic
parameters. CoRain is a free and open source software written in R
language that could greatly help analyzing inhomogeneity caused by
rainfall measuring instruments. CoRain compares two parallel rain series
(with an overlapping period) and tries to highlight overestimations and
underestimations due to rain gauges in a specific condition, so that the
user can consider it for future analysis. CoRain offers many information
on the two analyzed series, starting with cleaning input data, comparing
them and classifying rainy days by severity. CoRain is a cross-platform
software, easily adaptable to different needs, that takes in input a
single text file with daily information of the two rain series and
outputs tables (in CSV format) and plots (as PNG images) that help in
the interpretation of the data. Use of the program is very simple: the
execution can be either interactive or non-interactive. CoRain code has
been tested on different rain series in the Piedmont region
(northwestern Italy), showing its importance in identifying climate
variations and instrumentation errors.},

process models (using BPMN), with a pre-existing catalogue of
goal-oriented OSS adoption strategy models. First, we define a
repository of reusable method chunks, including the guidelines to apply
them. Then, we define OSSAP as a composition of those method chunks to
help organizations to improve their business processes in order to
integrate the best fitting OSS adoption strategy. We illustrate it with
an example of application in a telecommunications company.},

Abstract = {In the very competitive environment of the space industry, the question
of developing or buying flight dynamics tools is more up-to-date than
ever before. Although not always based on cost, its answer can be
influenced by the possibility of using open source software (OSS) to
develop more quickly the parts of the tools which are not specific to
flight dynamics like graphical user interfaces, visualization tools...
This paper presents how this approach was used to develop Space
Mechanics Tools (SMT), a flight dynamics software used in the Mission
Analysis Department of Alcatel Space.},

Abstract = {Open Source software is competing successfully in many areas. The
commercial sector is recognizing the benefits offered by Open Source
development methods that lead to high quality software. Can these
benefits be realized in specialized domains where expertise is rare?
This study examined discussion forums of an Open Source project in a
particular specialized application domain - electronic medical records -
to see how development roles are carried out, and by whom. We found
through a qualitative analysis that the core developers in this system
include doctors and clinicians who also use the product. We also found
that the size of the community associated with the project is an order
of magnitude smaller than predicted, yet still maintains a high degree
of responsiveness to issues raised by users. The implication is that a
few experts and a small core of dedicated programmers can achieve
success using an Open Source approach in a specialized domain.},

Abstract = {Attributed graphs are powerful tools to represent real-life systems in
many domains such as social networks, biological metabolic networks,
consumer recommendation systems and more. Labeling nodes into
representative groups is an important part in networks analysis and is
commonly used in tasks such as collaborative filtering as they use both
node attribute information as well as the edge information. Graph Neural
Networks (GNNs) provide an expressive methodological framework that
combines node features and network structure to produce state of the art
node category classifications. The Regularized Simple Graph Convolution
Neural Network is a GNN variant utilizing flexible constraints to
produce a smaller set of weights that help simplify the inference
process and highlight important features for the users. This paper
introduces a Python open source software repository which implements the
Regularized Simple Graph Convolution (SGC). (c) 2022 The Author(s).

Title = {QPhenoMetrics: An open source software application to assess vegetation
phenology metrics},
Journal = {COMPUTERS AND ELECTRONICS IN AGRICULTURE},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {148},
Pages = {82-94},
Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {Phenology is one of the most reliable indicators of vegetation dynamics.
Assessing and monitoring the dynamics of phenology is relevant to
support several decisions in order to improve the efficiency of several
farming practices. An open source application QPhenoMetrics -
implemented in QGIS software that estimates vegetation phenology metrics
is presented, using Earth Observation Systems (EOS) based time-series of
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation
Index (EVI) as proxies for phenology. QPhenoMetrics is characterized by
freely-usable and updatable code, acceptance of satellite images or text
formats, time-series analysis toolbox allowing the selection of region
of interest with statistical quality assessment for Vegetation Indices
(VI), and estimation of ensemble metrics. The application is structured
in three components: (i) input data; (ii) pre-processing of the VI
time-series and several fitting methods and (iii) computation of the
phenological metrics. QPhenoMetrics produces a plot with the VI
time-series and corresponding phenology metrics, and a spreadsheet is
created with a list of NDVI or EVI values estimated using the selected
fitting method. To evaluate the application, two main Portuguese crops,
vineyards and maize, and MOD13 data from MODIS sensor during 2011-2012
were considered. QPhenoMetrics was validated with vineyard phenology
observations (2007-2011). A comparative analysis with software products
TimeSat and Spirits was also performed. It was concluded that
QPhenoMetrics can be very useful for common users to extract phenology
information for 16 daily MODIS data in HDF format, text files with
NDVI/EVI data and ASCII files, through a simple and intuitive graphic
interface. Furthermore, the user can evaluate the quality assessment of
VI of the images used. QPhenoMetrics is an effective open source tool
that in addition to being free, is readily modifiable by user according
to the study requirements.},

Title = {Using Modified Diffusion Models for Reliability Estimation of Open
Source Software},
Journal = {IEEE ACCESS},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {11},
Pages = {51631-51646},
Abstract = {Software development is a highly unpredictable process, and ensuring
software quality and reliability before releasing it to the market is
crucial. One of the common practices during software development is the
reuse of code. It can be achieved by utilizing libraries, frameworks,
and other reusable components. Practically, when a fault is detected in
replicated code, developers must check for similar faults in other
copies, as there is a dependency between faults. To prevent recurrence
of observed failures, developers must remove the corresponding leading
fault and any related dependent faults. Many software reliability growth
models (SRGMs) have been proposed and studied in the past, but most
SRGMs assume that developers usually detect only one fault causing a
failure. In actuality, it is necessary to consider the possibility of
detecting multiple faults that may share similarities or dependencies.
Additionally, some SRGMs rely on specific assumptions that may not
always be valid, such as perfect debugging and/or immediate debugging.
In this study, the modified diffusion models are proposed to handle
these unrealistic situations, and are expected to better capture the
dynamics of open source software (OSS) development. Experiments using
real OSS data show that the proposed models can accurately describe the
fault correction process of OSS. Finally, an optimal software release
policy is proposed and studied. This policy takes into account some
factors, including the remaining number of faults in the software, the
expenses associated with identifying and rectifying those faults, and
the level of market demand for the software. By considering these
factors, developers can determine the optimal time to release the
software to the market.},

electromagnetic data},

Year = {2020},
Volume = {51},
Number = {1},
Pages = {38-44},
Month = {JAN 2},
Abstract = {Inversion of airborne electromagnetic data is often an iterative
process, not only requiring that the researcher be able to explore the
impact of changing components, such as the choice of regularisation
functional or model parameterisation, but also often requiring that
forward simulations be run and fields and fluxes visualised in order to
build an understanding of the physical processes governing what we
observe in the data. In the hope of facilitating this exploration and
promoting the reproducibility of geophysical simulations and inversions,
we have developed the open-source software package SimPEG. The software
has been designed to be modular and extensible, with the goal of
allowing researchers to interrogate all of the components and to
facilitate the exploration of new inversion strategies. We present an
overview of the software in its application to airborne electromagnetics
and demonstrate its use for visualising fields and fluxes in a forward
simulation, as well as its flexibility in formulating and solving the
inverse problem. We invert a line of airborne time-domain
electromagnetic data over a conductive vertical plate using a 1D voxel
inversion, a 2D voxel inversion and a parametric inversion, where all of
the forward modelling is done on a 3D grid. The results in this paper
can be reproduced using the provided Jupyter notebooks. The Python
software can also be modified to allow users to experiment with
parameters and explore the physics of the electromagnetics and
intricacies of inversion.},

OpenMS accessible to nonprogrammers. The individual TOPP tools can be
strung together into pipelines for analyzing mass spectrometry-based
experiments starting from the raw output of the mass spectrometer. These
analysis pipelines can be constructed using a graphical editor. Even

Abstract = {From the software point of view, the development of IoT applications
differs from other kinds of applications due to the specific features
that the former exhibit. In this paper, we investigate how developers
contribute to IoT applications in the Open Source Software (OSS)
context, to gain a deeper understanding of how their work differs from
that of non-IoT applications. To that end, we conducted a quantitative
analysis of a broad set of the 60 most popular publicly available IoT
and non-IoT projects on GitHub. By comparing how developers contribute
to these projects, our analysis provides insight into the purpose and
characteristics of the code, the behavior of the contributors, and the
maturity of the IoT software development ecosystem. Results reveal
significant differences between IoT and non-IoT application development,
in terms of how applications are realized, in the diversity of
developers; specializations, and in how code is reused. This work
provides evidence about some Open Source IoT software development
peculiarities to be considered by future research efforts aimed at
better satisfying software engineering needs in the IoT scenario.},

Abstract = {Mobile application developers rely heavily on opensource software (OSS)
to offload common functionalities such as the implementation of
protocols and media format playback. Over the past years, several
vulnerabilities have been found in popular open-source libraries like
OpenSSL and FFmpeg. Mobile applications that include such libraries
inherit these flaws, which make them vulnerable. Fortunately, the
open-source community is responsive and patches are made available
within days. However, mobile application developers are often left
unaware of these flaws. The App Security Improvement Program (ASIP) is a
commendable effort by Google to notify application developers of these
flaws, but recent work has shown that many developers do not act on this
information.
Our work addresses vulnerable mobile applications through automatic
binary patching from source patches provided by the OSS maintainers and
without involving the developers. We propose novel techniques to
overcome difficult challenges like patching feasibility analysis,
source-code-to-binary-code matching, and in-memory patching. Our
technique uses a novel variability-aware approach, which we implement as
OSSPATCHER. We evaluated OSSPATCHER with 39 OSS and a collection of
1,000 Android applications using their vulnerable versions. OSSPATCHER
generated 675 function-level patches that fixed the affected mobile
applications without breaking their binary code. Further, we evaluated
10 vulnerabilities in popular apps such as Chrome with public exploits,
which OSSPATCHER was able to mitigate and thwart their exploitation.},

Journal = {MOLECULAR INFORMATICS},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {38},
Number = {8-9, SI},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {Ambit-GCM is a new software tool for group contribution modelling (GCM),
developed as a part of the chemoinformatics platform AMBIT. It is an
open-source tool distributed under LGPL license, written in Java and
based on the Chemistry Development Kit. Ambit-GCM provides an
environment for creating models of molecular properties using additive
schemes of zero, first or second orders. Ambit-GCM supports a set of
local atomic attributes used for dynamic configuration of desired atom
descriptions, which are applied to define fragments of different sizes.
All defined groups are exhaustively generated for each molecule from a
training set of compounds and combined to form the basic set of GCM
fragments. Additionally, Ambit-GCM users can define correction factors
via custom SMARTS notations or add externally calculated molecular
descriptors. A molecular property model is obtained as a sum over all
found groups by multiplying each group or correction factor frequency to
its corresponding contribution. Multiple linear regression analysis
(MLRA) is used for group contributions calculation. Ambit-GCM performs
full statistical characterization of the obtained MLRA models via
various validation techniques: external tests validation, cross
validation, y-scrambling, etc. The software can be optionally used only
for molecule fragmentation combined with an external statistical
modelling package for further processing. Ambit-GCM example usage and
test cases are given.},

Abstract = {Open source software refers to software with unrestricted access for use
or modification. Many software development organizations are using this
open source methodology in their development process. Many software
developers can work in parallel with the open source project using the
web as a shared resource. The defect density of such projects is often
required to be predicted for the purpose to ensure quality standards.
Static metrics for defect density prediction require extraction of
abstract information from the code. Repository metrics, on the other
hand, are easy to extract from the repository data sets. In this paper,
an analysis has been performed over repository metrics of open source
software. Further, defect density is being predicted using these metrics
individually and jointly. Sixty two open source software are considered
for analysis using Simple and Multiple Linear Regression methods as
statistical procedures. The results reveal a statistically significant
level of acceptance for prediction of defect density using few
repository metrics individually and jointly.},

tasks are assigned to project team members. Following a case study
methodology, we examined developer interaction data from three active
and successful FLOSS projects using qualitative research methods,
specifically inductive content analysis, to identify the task-assignment
mechanisms used by the participants. We found that `self-assignment' was
the most common mechanism across three FLOSS projects. This mechanism is
consistent with expectations for distributed and largely volunteer
teams. We conclude by discussing whether these emergent practices can be
usefully transferred to mainstream practice and indicating directions
for future research. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

Abstract = {During Open Source Software (OSS) development, users submit ``new

During the introduction of NFs and IMPs, the source code files change. A
proportion of these source code changes may result in generation of
bugs. We have developed calendar time and entropy-dependent mathematical
models to represent the growth of OSS based on the rate at which NFs are
added, IMPs are added, and bugs introduction rate.The empirical
validation has been conducted on five products, namely ``Avro, Pig,
Hive, jUDDI and Whirr{''} of the Apache open source project. We compared
the proposed models with eminent reliability growth models, Goel and
Okumoto (1979) and Yamada et al. (1983) and found that the proposed

Abstract = {Free/Libre Open Source Software has evolved dramatically in the last
twenty years and many open source products are now considered similar,
or even better than proprietary counterparts. Given the evolution of
software - both concerning its development and its usage - it is likely
that the motivations for adopting an open source rather than a
proprietary product have changed over time. The goal of this work is to
identify the current motivations for adopting open source software, and
compare them with the motivations that held in the past. We conducted a
set of interviews among software practitioners, asking them to rank
motivations for the adoption of open source software, and we compared
these new results with the motivations elicited in previous surveys
published in 2010 and 2013. The results show that motivations have
actually changed over time.},

Abstract = {Deciding if an OSS project meets the required standards for adoption is
hard, and keeping up-to-date with a rapidly evolving project is even
harder. Making decisions about quality and adoption involves analysing
code, documentation, online discussions, and issue trackers. There is
too much information to process manually and it is common that
uninformed decisions have to be made with detrimental effects.
CROSSMINER aims to remedy this by automatically extracting the required
knowledge and injecting it into the developers' Integrated Development
Environments (IDE), at the time they need it to make design decisions.
This allows them to reduce their effort in knowledge acquisition and to
increase the quality of their code. CROSSMINER uniquely combines
advanced software project analyses with online IDE monitoring.
Developers will be monitored to infer which information is timely, based
on readily available knowledge stored earlier by a set of advanced
offline deep analyses of related OSS projects.},

positive economical results of the project made software reuse a common
practice at Orbotech. Further experimentation of reusing Open Source
Software (OSS) demonstrated the high potential of that approach, when
carefully integrated with the standard organizational development
process. The conclusions from Orbotech experience are that when
carefully planned and implemented, software reuse provides the
anticipated benefits of cost reduction, improved quality and shorter
Time-to-Market. The reuse of OSS may provide even higher benefits than
conventional software reuse. Nevertheless, as in many cases before,
implementation of software reuse requires management support and
commitment, as well as acceptance by the developers themselves. As such,
software reuse implementation proves to be a complex task that needs to
be tailored specifically to the implementing organization.},

Abstract = {Research in ultrasound imaging is limited in reproducibility by two
factors: First, many existing ultrasound pipelines are protected by
intellectual property, rendering exchange of code difficult. Second,
most pipelines are implemented in special hardware, resulting in limited
flexibility of implemented processing steps on such platforms.
With SUPRA, we propose an open-source pipeline for fully
software-defined ultrasound processing for real-time applications to
alleviate these problems. Covering all steps from beamforming to output
of B-mode images, SUPRA can help improve the reproducibility of results
and make modifications to the image acquisition mode accessible to the
research community. We evaluate the pipeline qualitatively,
quantitatively, and regarding its run time.
The pipeline shows image quality comparable to a clinical system and
backed by point spread function measurements a comparable resolution.
Including all processing stages of a usual ultrasound pipeline, the
run-time analysis shows that it can be executed in 2D and 3D on consumer
GPUs in real time.
Our software ultrasound pipeline opens up the research in image
acquisition. Given access to ultrasound data from early stages (raw
channel data, radiofrequency data), it simplifies the development in
imaging. Furthermore, it tackles the reproducibility of research
results, as code can be shared easily and even be executed without
dedicated ultrasound hardware.},

Abstract = {Context: Free and Open Source Software is widely used in the research
community and the software industry. In this context, developers come
across various issues they need to handle in order to use and create
software responsibly and without causing legal violations. For instance,
using open source software that carries a specific license or how
contributions to open source software should be handled are among the
issues that need to be considered.Objective: As practitioners turn
primarily to Q\&A sites to seek help, it is important to understand
which specific open source software issues they face. In this research,
our main objective is to provide a categorization of open source
software problems present in the user questions of the Open Source Stack
Exchange site and perform a meta-analysis on the encountered
questions.Method: We have performed a qualitative study analyzing
manually 1,500 most popular posts in the Open Source Stack Exchange site
and have mapped them to categories and more generic clusters. The coding
task was performed in iterations with the participation of three of the
authors. Agreement was calculated and cases of disagreement were
resolved. Meta-analysis on questions and answers was also performed for
discussion purposes.Results: We have created 26 categories of problems
discussed in the Open Source Stack Exchange site, and grouped them into
6 clusters. Our results show that posts on license texts/conditions and
license/copyright notices are more common, whereas posts on license
differences are the most popular in terms of views by other
users.Conclusion: The results can assist any participant of the open
source software community to understand on which basic issues she should
focus on to gain a good understanding of open source software. They are
also useful for improving education on open source software and
community support using the implications presented for each category.},

Abstract = {Open source products/projects targeting the same or similar applications
are common nowadays. This makes choosing a tricky task. Quality is one
factor that can be considered when choosing among similar open source
solutions. In order to measure quality in software, quality models can
be used. Open source quality models emerged due to the inability of
traditional quality models to measure unique features (such as
community) of open source software. The aim of the paper therefore is to
examine the characteristic features, unique strengths, and limitations
of existing open source quality models. In addition, we compare the
models based on some selected attributes. (C) 2013 The Authors.

recognizes the unique characteristics of OSS libraries and notes that
their adoption may receive less organizational scrutiny than other
software packages. A conceptual model based on an augmented theory of
Task Technology Fit (TTF) is offered to provide insight into OSS library
adoption. If supported, this model represents not only a theoretical
contribution to the OSS literature, but a source of actionable
information for practitioners engaged in software development.},

Planning},
Journal = {PEERJ COMPUTER SCIENCE},
Year = {2018},
Month = {OCT 1},
Abstract = {This paper presents the Tools4MSP software package, a Python-based Free
and Open Source Software (FOSS) for geospatial analysis in support of
Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) and marine environmental management. The
suite was initially developed within the ADRIPLAN data portal, that has
been recently upgraded into the Tools4MSP Geoplatform
(data.tools4msp.eu), an integrated web platform that supports MSP
through the application of different tools, e.g., collaborative
geospatial modelling of cumulative effects assessment (CEA) and marine
use conflict (MUC) analysis. The package can be used as stand-alone
library or as collaborative webtool, providing userfriendly interfaces
appropriate to decision-makers, regional authorities, academics and MSP
stakeholders. An effective MSP-oriented integrated system of web-based
software, users and services is proposed. It includes four components:
the Tools4MSP Geoplatform for interoperable and collaborative sharing of
geospatial datasets and for MSP-oriented analysis, the Tools4MSP package
as stand-alone library for advanced geospatial and statistical analysis,
the desktop applications to simplify data curation and the third party
data repositories for multidisciplinary and multilevel geospatial
datasets integration. The paper presents an application example of the
Tools4MSP GeoNode plugin and an example of Tools4MSP stand-alone library
for CEA in the Adriatic Sea. The Tools4MSP and the developed software
have been released as FOSS under the GPL 3 license and are currently
under further development.},

Abstract = {It has become common practice to automate data acquisition from
programmable instrumentation, and a range of different software
solutions fulfill this task. Many routine measurements require
sequential processing of certain tasks, for instance to adjust the
temperature of a sample stage, take a measurement, and repeat that cycle
for other temperatures. This paper introduces an open-source Java
program that processes a series of text-based commands that define the
measurement sequence. These commands are in an intuitive format which
provides great flexibility and allows quick and easy adaptation to
various measurement needs. For each of these commands, the iC-framework
calls a corresponding Java method that addresses the specified
instrument to perform the desired task. The functionality of iC can be
extended with minimal programming effort in Java or Python, and new
measurement equipment can be addressed by defining new commands in a
text file without any programming.},

Abstract = {The core mission of university libraries is to provide access to books,
journals, data and primary sources to enhance and enable research and
education. Because students are accustomed to gathering information
using commercial search engines, they can overlook high-quality library
resources. To connect with student researchers when they need library
resources, many libraries have built online research guides tied to
specific subjects and courses. These guides can address specific
assignments where research is required, and course instructors can point
students to the guides to assist them in completing their research
assignments successfully. In 2006, Oregon State University (OSU)
Libraries developed an open source software product called Library a la
Carte that librarians can use to construct research guides easily and
quickly. The code was made available to other libraries, and a number of
institutions have adopted the tool. A successful user community has
grown up around Library a la Carte, but development up to this point has
been the sole responsibility of OSU Libraries. We are now embarking on
building a robust developer community, to contribute code, to build
additional features and to take Library a la Carte into the future. As
part of our plan to move forward, we are testing a hosted (cloud-based)
version of the software. This paper introduces Library a la Carte,
presents what was learned from the test and discusses moving forward
with building a developer community. In addition, we touch on the
benefits and challenges of building and sustaining an open source
product from the ground up.},

Abstract = {FREEWAT is an HORIZON 2020 project financed by the EU Commission under
the call WATER INNOVATION: BOOSTING ITS VALUE FOR EUROPE. FREEWAT main
result will be an open source and public domain GIS integrated modelling
environment for the simulation of water quantity and quality in surface
water and groundwater with an integrated water management and planning
module. FREEWAT aims at promoting water resource management by
simplifying the application of the Water Framework Directive and other
EU water related Directives. Specific objectives of the FREEWAT project
are: to coordinate previous EU and national funded research to integrate
existing software modules for water management in a single environment
into the GIS based FREEWAT; to support the FREEWAT application in an
innovative participatory approach gathering technical staff and relevant
stakeholders (in primis policy and decision makers) in designing
scenarios for the proper application of water policies.
The open source characteristics of the platform allow to consider this
an initiative ``ad includendum{''} (looking for inclusion of other
entities), as further research institutions, private developers etc. may
contribute to the platform development.
Through creating a common environment among water
research/professionals, policy makers and implementers, FREEWAT main
impact will be on enhancing science- and participatory approach and
evidence-based decision making in water resource management, hence
producing relevant and appropriate outcomes for policy implementation.
The Consortium is constituted by partners from various water sectors
from 10 EU countries, plus Turkey and Ukraine. Synergies with the UNESCO
HOPE initiative on free and open source software in water management
greatly boost the value of the project. Large stakeholders involvement
is thought to guarantee results dissemination and exploitation.},

Abstract = {Ultrasound-based Elastography is being used to augment in vivo
characterization of breast lesions. Results from a meta-analysis of all
clinical trials (up to 2011) indicated a lack of confidence in image
interpretation. Such confidence can only be gained through rigorous
imaging tests using complex, heterogeneous but known media. Our
objective of this study is to build a virtual breast phantom lab in the
public domain that can be used for rigorous imaging testing of this
kind. Main thrust of this work is to streamline biomedical ultrasound
simulations in conjunction with anatomically complex (software) phantoms
by leveraging existing open source software packages including K-wave or
Field II (acoustic simulation), VTK (data visualization and processing),
FEBio (biomechanical deformation) and Tetgen (mesh generation). The
integration of these four open source packages was based on a simple
message-passing scheme to facilitate its use among imaging scientists.
In this study, we demonstrated that a complex and heterogeneous
(virtual) breast phantom can be derived from medical imaging data, i.e.
publically available Visible Human Project data through US National
Institutes of Health. Three volumes of interest were selected from the
proposed virtual breast phantom to perform acoustic simulations using a
virtual linear array transducer (6MHz and 80\% bandwidth). Our initial
results showed that simulated B-mode images accurately represented the
underlying complex but known medium. In order to demonstrate
applications in elastography, the virtual breast phantom was also
deformed using finite element simulations. The resultant simulated
strain image depicted complex patterns that were normally seen in
clinical data.
In conclusion, the proposed virtual software infrastructure can perform
sophisticated ultrasound simulations in conjunction with complex and
heterogeneous media. It is our intent that, in the future, the proposed
virtual software infrastructure will be available to the research
community for use in creation complex imaging benchmark tests for
algorithm testing and validation. Furthermore, the proposed virtual
platform can also be tailored to meet specific research needs by
potential users themselves in an open science fashion. Collectively,
these activities will accelerate development of ultrasound imaging
including elastography.},

Abstract = {OSS projects are being developed by globally distributed contributors,
who often collaborate through the pull-based model today. While this
model lowers the barrier to entry for OSS developers by synthesizing,
automating and optimizing the contribution process, coordination among
an increasing number of contributors remains as a challenge due to the
asynchronous and self-organized nature of distributed development. In
particular, duplicate contributions, where multiple different
contributors unintentionally submit duplicate pull requests to achieve
the same goal, are an elusive problem that may waste effort in automated
testing, code review and software maintenance. While the issue of
duplicate pull requests has been highlighted, to what extent duplicate
pull requests affect the development in OSS communities has not been
well investigated. In this paper, we conduct a mixed-approach study to
bridge this gap. Based on a comprehensive dataset constructed from 26
popular GitHub projects, we obtain the following findings: (a) Duplicate
pull requests result in redundant human and computing resources,
exerting a significant impact on the contribution and evaluation
process. (b) Contributors' inappropriate working patterns and the
drawbacks of their collaborating environment might result in duplicate
pull requests. (c) Compared to non-duplicate pull requests, duplicate
pull requests have significantly different features, e.g., being
submitted by inexperienced contributors, being fixing bugs, touching
cold files, and solving tracked issues. (d) Integrators choosing between
duplicate pull requests prefer to accept those with early submission
time, accurate and high-quality implementation, broad coverage, test
code, high maturity, deep discussion, and active response. Finally,
actionable suggestions and implications are proposed for OSS
practitioners.},

Abstract = {With the wide adoption and acceptance of open source version control and
hosting systems, more and more companies, including Google, Microsoft,

GitHub. It is very important for open source projects to be impactful,
i.e., to attract attentions from the open source development community,
so as to gain support on development, testing as well as maintenance
from the community. However, the question of what factors affect open
source project impact, remains largely open. Given the numerous
confounding factors and the complex correlations among the factors, it
is a challenge to answer the question. In this study, we gather a large
dataset from GitHub and provide empirical insights on this question base
on a data-driven approach. We randomly collect 146, 286 projects from
GitHub and then adopt data analysis techniques to automatically analyze
the correlations of different features with the software project impact.
We also provide suggestions on how to potentially make open source
projects impactful base on our analysis results.},

Abstract = {Currently, open source software communities are thriving and the number
of projects that are available through well known code repositories is
rapidly increasing The amount of code that is freely available to
developers facilitates high reuse opportunities. One of the major
concerns of developers when reusing code is the quality of the code that
is going to be reused. Design patterns are well known solutions that are
reported to produce substantial benefits with respect to software
quality. In this paper, we investigate the extent to which design
patterns are employed in open source software. More specifically, this
study reports empirical results based on the number and type of design
patterns retrieved from open source software projects. Up to now, one
hundred and eight (108) open source software projects of various
characteristics have been considered. The results of the study suggest
that several patterns are more frequently used in open source software
than others, that some patterns are more applicable in some categories
than others and that program size, number of downloads, days of project
activity and the number of developers are crucial factors that influence
the use of design patterns in open source software project.},

Abstract = {Motivation: Society's dependence on Open Source Software (OSS) and the
communities that maintain the OSS is ever-growing. So are the potential
risks of, e.g., vulnerabilities being introduced in projects not
actively maintained. By assessing an OSS project's capability to stay
viable and maintained over time without interruption or weakening, i.e.,
the OSS health, users can consider the risk implied by using the OSS as
is, and if necessary, decide whether to help improve the health or
choose another option. However, such assessment is complex as OSS health
covers a wide range of subtopics, and existing support is limited. Aim:
We aim to create an overview of characteristics that affect the health
of an OSS project and enable the assessment thereof. Method: We conduct
a snowball literature review based on a start set of 9 papers, and
identify 146 relevant papers over two iterations of forward and backward
snowballing. Health characteristics are elicited and coded using
structured and axial coding into a framework structure. Results: The
final framework consists of 107 health characteristics divided among 15
themes. Characteristics address the socio-technical spectrum of the
community of actors maintaining the OSS project, the software and other
deliverables being maintained, and the orchestration facilitating the
maintenance. Characteristics are further divided based on the level of
abstraction they address, i.e., the OSS project-level specifically, or
the project's overarching ecosystem of related OSS projects. Conclusion:
The framework provides an overview of the wide span of health
characteristics that may need to be considered when evaluating OSS
health and can serve as a foundation both for research and practice.},

Some background introduction to FLOSS applications is used for the
benefit of those less familiar with such toots, and examples of some of
the FLOSS content management systems (CMS) being used by OSNI are

Abstract = {Plagiarism in software code and hardware design threatens the
open-source movement and the software and hardware industries. It is
essential to differentiate between the unethical act of plagiarism and
the legitimate use of open-source resources. Existing copyright
protection measures, such as license design, inadequately address
copyright ownership and protection issues. Furthermore, they fail to
detect plagiarism methods for open-source hardware projects, such as
circuit location modification. To address these challenges, this paper
proposes a blockchain-based copyright management scheme, which
introduces a general originality detection model based on community
detection, extracting adjustable granularity digests from code and
design files. These digests are stored on a peer-to-peer blockchain,
enabling nodes to verify the originality via smart contracts.
Additionally, the scheme improves the storage structure, protecting the
rights of authors and contributors. Experimental results demonstrate the
effectiveness and runtime efficiency of the proposed model in extracting
digests for blockchain storage while maintaining verification accuracy.
The scheme offers enhanced generality, practical performance, and
suitability for distributed development and maintenance, with
considerable implications for evidence gathering, fostering innovation
and integrity.},

linear hydrographic features},
Journal = {SOFTWAREX},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {11},
Month = {JAN-JUN},
Abstract = {The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a foundational geospatial data
source in the United States that enables extensive and diverse
environmental research and supports decision-making in numerous
contexts. However, the NHD requires regular validation and update given
possible inconsistent initial collection and hydrographic changes.
Furthermore, systems or tools that use NHD data must manage regular
updates that occur within the high-resolution version of the NHD (NHD
HR). This research contributes to filling this gap by establishing an
open-source software tool named OpenCLC, which automatically identifies
matching and mismatching line features between two sets of hydrographic
flowlines. Aside from identifying differences among two version of NHD
lines, results can be applied to improve the quality of NHD HR content.
OpenCLC significantly outperforms the best available commercial
off-the-shelf software in computational scalability, and it is made
widely available as part of the CyberGIS Toolkit to benefit broad
environmental and geospatial science communities. (C) 2020 The Authors.

Abstract = {Learning software security has become a complex and difficult task today
than it was even a decade ago. With the increased complexity of computer
systems and a variety of applications, it is hard for software
developers to master the expertise required to deal with the variety of
security concepts, methods, and technologies that are required in
software projects. Although a large number of security learning
materials are widely available in books, open literature or on the
Internet, they are difficult for learners to understand the rationale of
security topics and correlate the concepts with real software scenarios.
We argue that the traditional approach, which usually organizes
knowledge content topically, with security-centric, is not suitable to
motivate learners and stimulate learners' interest. To tackle this
learning issue, our research is focused on forging a contextualized
learning environment for software security where learners can explore
security knowledge and relate it to the context that they are familiar
with. This learning system is developed base on our proposed
context-based learning approach and based on ontological technologies.
In this paper, we present our evaluation study in the open source
software (OSS) development environment. Our results demonstrate that
contextualized learning can help OSS developers identify their necessary
security information, improve learning efficiency and make security
knowledge more meaningful for their software development tasks},

Abstract = {Open-source software developments are basically Internet-based
communities that voluntarily collaborate in developing software on the
Internet and such Internet communities have become an important cultural
and economic phenomenon. As a result, the emergence of open-source
software has presented a challenge to the traditional offerings by
providing free alternatives. The objective of this article is to review
the possibility of the adoption of open source software in the creation

software at the present time and the criteria evaluated in the digital
preservation through surveying the best open source software from the
reality of intellectual production, and standards that are being built
to evaluate and choose what software to create a digital library without
other software available. To achieve the above objectives, we shed the
light on the top 11 open-source software to manage Libraries in addition
to standards that may represent the basic building block for the
selection of the appropriate systems to the needs of the digital
library. This article relied on the descriptive approach by reviewing a
series of studies and scientific research works related to the subject
of the current study. Accordingly, the most prominent of the findings of
this work is its illustration of the close association between open

culture. Also it is shown that the selection process of open source
software has some obstacles most notably as there are no clear and
reliable criteria for selecting these systems. Current study has
concluded a set of recommendations, notably awareness of the role and

as well as two projects from Ericsson, a large telecommunications
company. Based on an analysis of these projects, FLOSS best practices
were tailored to fit industrial development environments. The final
results consisted of a set of key adoption opportunities that aimed to
improve software quality and overall development productivity by
importing best practices from the FLOSS environment. The adoption

Abstract = {The practice of image processing inherently requires software
development. Creating this technology requires designing, implementing,
debugging and testing software applications on a continual basis.
Furthermore current software development is typically performed in a
distributed environment involving many developers. While the use of
open-source software may create collaborative communities that enhance
overall technology exchange, it does nothing directly to manage change
nor does it address the quality of the underlying software. This paper
describes a software development process that has proven vital to the
success of the widely used open-source toolkits ITK (itk.org) and VTK
(vtk.org). This process facilitates cross-platform development, includes
automatic documentation generation, integrates continuous testing, and
posts the results of the process on publicly accessible web pages. The
net result is that a responsive feedback loop is created between the
developers in the community and automated processes to measure software
quality. With this process software converges towards better software as
long as the process is enforced. The tools described here are
open-source and available for use in academic and commercial
applications.},

Title = {THE ENTRAINMENT OF TASK ALLOCATION AND RELEASE CYCLES IN OPEN SOURCE
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT},
Journal = {MIS QUARTERLY},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {48},
Number = {1},
Pages = {67-94},
Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {In this study we identify a process of ``entrainment{''} around open
source software (OSS) development release cycles to capture patterns of
self -organized task allocation among developers. We conducted an
abductive, computationally intensive study of eight OSS projects, using
relational event modeling to analyze 1,169,489 actions covering 93 major
software releases. The process of entrainment that we identify involves
three task allocation mechanisms: (1) developer -issue inertia, (2)
developer contribution frequency, and (3) issue popularity. Our analysis
demonstrates that these mechanisms and the phases of the release cycle
entrain each other. Before a major release, developers engage in a
concentrated mobilization phase, whereby they democratize development
activity and increasingly allocate community contributions to the set of
issues related to the release. After a major release, the extended
cleanup phase garners a greater share of development work from recently
highly active developers and dilutes the activity of these developers
across a wider range of issues. Our theorizing suggests that major
releases constitute important events around which OSS communities self
-organize and we characterize how this occurs. Our research contributes
to theorizing on organizing in OSS communities by explaining how
selforganizing task allocation interacts with release cycles through the
mechanism of entrainment. We also contribute to the literature on
entrainment by showing how it may unfold in the context of online peer
production communities such as OSS.},

Abstract = {Computational methods, coding, and software are important tools for

paper provides a unique overview of the obstacles that graduate students
face in obtaining the knowledge and skills required to complete their
research and in transitioning from an OSS user to a contributor:
psychological, practical, and cultural barriers and challenges specific
to graduate students including cognitive load in graduate school, the
importance of a knowledgeable mentor, seeking help from both the online

research output in career and degree progression. Specific and practical
steps are recommended to provide a foundation for graduate students,
supervisors, administrators, and members of the OSS community to help
overcome these obstacles. In conclusion, the objective of these
recommendations is to describe a possible framework that individuals
from across the scientific community can adapt to their needs and
facilitate a sustainable feedback loop between graduate students and

proposes a number of conceivable measures to mitigate each risk; some of
them are proposed for the first time in this area of research. The

Abstract = {When newcomers try to join an open source software (OSS) project, they
face many barriers that hinder their first contribution, leading in many
cases to their dropping out. Many projects leverage the contribution of
outsiders, and the sustainability of the project relies on retaining
some of these newcomers. This research aims to identify the barriers
that hinder newcomers' onboarding to OSS projects. Our method consisted
of a qualitative study conducted with data obtained from four different
sources: (i) systematic literature review; (ii) feedback from nine
graduate and undergraduate students after they tried to join OSS
projects; (iii) 24 responses to a questionnaire sent to 9 OSS projects;
and (iv) semi-structured interviews with 36 subjects from 14 different
projects, including newcomers and experienced members. The method to
select the candidate papers in the systematic literature review was
querying four digital libraries and backward snowballing. The data
obtained from the practitioners from all three sources, and the primary
studies obtained in the systematic review were analyzed using used
procedures of Grounded Theory's open and axial coding. The analysis
resulted in a conceptual model composed of 58 barriers, grouped into six
different categories: cultural differences, newcomers' characteristics,
reception issues, orientation, technical hurdles, and documentation
problems. We could observe recurrent barriers evidenced in different
data sources. We could notice that the onboarding process of a newcomer
to an OSS can be a tough task. This research brings empirical support
relying on data from different sources, organizes and discusses the
existing common wisdom about barriers faced by newcomers to OSS
projects, which deserve attention from researchers and OSS communities.},

Abstract = {High-throughput screening is a powerful technology principally used by
pharmaceutical industries allowing the identification of molecules of
interest within large libraries. Originally target based, cellular
assays provide a way to test compounds (or other biological material
such as small interfering RNA) in a more physiologically realistic in
vitro environment. High-content screening (HCS) platforms are now
available at lower cost, giving the opportunity for universities or
research institutes to access those technologies for research purposes.
However, the amount of information extracted from each experiment is
multiplexed and hence difficult to handle. In such context, there is an
important need for an easy-to-use, but still powerful software able to
manage multidimensional screening data by performing adapted quality
control and classification. HCS-analyzer includes: a user-friendly
interface specifically dedicated to HCS readouts, an automated approach
to identify systematic errors potentially occurring during screening and
a set of tools to classify, cluster and identify phenotypes of interest
among large and multivariate data.},

Abstract = {Increased popularity of open source software (OSS) has led to a
considerable proliferation of alternative software. However, there is a
lack of studies in literature that shed light into the evaluation of OSS
by organizations. In this article, a method to evaluate reliability and
maintainability of OSS by using both code-based and community-based
aspects is proposed through the synthesis of existing studies in
literature. To perform code-based evaluation, some internal attributes
of the most recent quality model, ISO/IEC 25010, are selected and
object-oriented C\&K metrics are employed in an attempt to measure these
attributes. To perform community-based evaluation, metrics derived from
historical data such as e-mailing lists, problem reports, frequently
asked questions, and etc. are utilized to identify and satisfy
information needs as conformant to ISO/IEC 15939 standard for software
measurement process. The two-dimensional method was used in selection of
the Java build tools written in Java, and the results obtained by
applying the proposed method and the results obtained by using OSMM and
OpenBRR which are common methods in the literature were compared.
According to the evaluation and comparison results, the results obtained
with the existing models confirm each other and the results obtained
with the proposed method.},

Month = {JUL 1},
Abstract = {Refactoring is a well-established practice that aims at improving the
internal structure of a software system without changing its external
behavior. Existing literature provides evidence of how and why
developers perform refactoring in practice. In this paper, we continue
on this line of research by performing a large-scale empirical analysis
of refactoring practices in 200 open source systems. Specifically, we
analyze the change history of these systems at commit level to
investigate: (i) whether developers perform refactoring operations and,
if so, which are more diffused and (ii) when refactoring operations are
applied, and (iii) which are the main developer-oriented factors leading
to refactoring. Based on our results, future research can focus on
enabling automatic support for less frequent refactorings and on
recommending refactorings based on the developer's workload, project's
maturity and developer's commitment to the project. (C) 2019 Elsevier

open-source software},
Journal = {PLANT METHODS},
Year = {2025},
Volume = {21},
Number = {1},
Month = {FEB 4},
Abstract = {Genomic-assisted breeding has transitioned from theoretical concepts to
practical applications in breeding. Genomic selection (GS) predicts
genomic breeding values (GEBV) using dense genetic markers. Single-stage
models predict GEBVs from phenotypic observations in one step, fully
accounting for the entire variance-covariance structure among genotypes,
but face computational challenges. Two-stage models, preferred for their
simplicity and efficiency, first calculate adjusted genotypic means
accounting for spatial variation within each environment, then use these
means to predict GEBVs. However, unweighted (UNW) two-stage models
assume independent errors among adjusted means, neglecting correlations
among estimation errors. Here, we show that fully-efficient two-stage
models perform similarly to UNW models for randomized complete block
designs but substantially better for augmented designs. Our simulation
studies demonstrate the impact of the fully-efficient methodology on
prediction accuracy across different implementations and scenarios.
Incorporating non-additive effects and augmented designs significantly
improved accuracy, emphasizing the synergy between design and model
strategy. Consistent performance requires the estimation error
covariance to be incorporated into a random effect (Full\_R model)
rather than into the residuals. Our results suggest that the
fully-efficient methodology, particularly the Full\_R model, should be
more prevalent, especially as GS increases the appeal of sparse designs.
We also provide a comprehensive theoretical background and open-source R
code, enhancing understanding and facilitating broader adoption of
fully-efficient two-stage models in GS. Here, we offer insights into the
practical applications of fully-efficient models and their potential to
increase genetic gain, demonstrating a

Abstract = {A software supply chain attack is characterized by the injection of
malicious code into a software package in order to compromise dependent
systems further down the chain. Recent years saw a number of supply
chain attacks that leverage the increasing use of open source during
software development, which is facilitated by dependency managers that
automatically resolve, download and install hundreds of open source
packages throughout the software life cycle. Even though many approaches
for detection and discovery of vulnerable packages exist, no prior work
has focused on malicious packages. This paper presents a dataset as well
as analysis of 174 malicious software packages that were used in
real-world attacks on open source software supply chains and which were
distributed via the popular package repositories npm, PyPI, and
RubyGems. Those packages, dating from November 2015 to November 2019,
were manually collected and analyzed. This work is meant to facilitate
the future development of preventive and detective safeguards by open

single object-oriented framework in C++ using OOP design patterns. The
bulk of the original work consisted mainly of finding common objects
which will work for these different modeling methods without changing a
single line of the C++ code. With this approach it is possible to add
new numerical models by only plugging-in the corresponding formulas. The
advantages of the resulting YADE framework are the following: (1)
generic design provides great flexibility when adding new scientific
simulation code, (2) numerous simulation methods can be coupled within
the same framework like for example DEM/FEM and (3) with the open-source
philosophy, the community of users collaborate and improve the software.

Abstract = {The collaborative pattern of developers in OSS (Open Source Software)
communities is a research-hotspot in the academic circle. However, the
existing researches mainly concern the static features of the
communication network of community members, and few studies involve the
structural evolution of developer collaboration network in OSS
communities. This paper constructs the developer collaboration network
of the Cloud Foundry OSS community by coding-collaboration
relationships, and then analyses the structure and evolution of the
constructed network. The results show that a modular pattern centering
on a few developers gradually emerges in the developer collaboration
network after an evolutionary process of three stages. Core developers
have completed a large proportion of the development work and played a
coordinating role in development activities, while the periphery
developers submit code to specific sub-projects according to their
technical background, which complements the core developers' work.
Furthermore, the modules of the developer collaboration network are
intrinsically related to the sub-projects and continuously contribute
code for the corresponding subprojects during the evolutionary process.
These results may deepen our understandings of the collaborative pattern
of OSS communities, and also have some reference value for the studies
of open collaborative innovation in large scale crowds.},

Abstract = {This work investigates crystallization modeling by modifying an

crystallization behavior of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is
implemented according to theoretical and experimental literature. A
number of physical interdependencies are included. The cavity is modeled
as deformable. The heat transfer coefficient in the thermal contact
towards the mold depends on contact pressure. The thermal conductivity
is pressure- and crystallinity-dependent. Specific heat depends on
temperature and crystallinity. Latent heat is released according to the
crystallization progress and temperature. Deviatoric elastic stress is
evolved in the solidified material. The prediction of the cavity
pressure evolution is used for the assessment of the solution quality
because it is experimentally available and governs the residual stress
development. Insight into the thermomechanical conditions is provided
with through-thickness plots of pressure, temperature and cooling rate
at different levels of crystallinity. The code and simulation setup are
made openly available to further the research on the topic.},

Abstract = {Speech recognition has become increasingly popular in radiology
reporting in the last decade. However, developing a speech recognition
system for a new language in a highly specific domain requires a lot of
resources, expert knowledge and skills. Therefore, commercial vendors do
not offer ready-made radiology speech recognition systems for
less-resourced languages.
This paper describes the implementation of a radiology speech
recognition system for Estonian. a language with less than one million
native speakers. The system was developed in partnership with a hospital
that provided a corpus of written reports for language modeling
purposes. Rewrite rules for pre-processing training texts and
postprocessing recognition results were created manually based on a
small parallel corpus created by the hospital's radiologists, using the
Thrax toolkit. Deep neural network based acoustic models were trained
based on 216 hours of out-of-domain data and adapted on 14 hours of
spoken radiology data, using the Kaldi toolkit. The current word error
rate of the system is 5.4\%. The system is in active use in real

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) development is an increasingly important
paradigm of software development. However, key aspects of OSS such as
the determinants of project success and motivations of developers in
joining these projects are not well understood. Based on organizational
theory, we propose that OSS activities of patch development and feature
request can be classified as exploitation (implementation-oriented) and
exploration (innovation-oriented) activities, respectively. We
empirically examine how the structure of social network affects the
success of patch-development and feature-request networks in OSS
projects, using a data set collected from the SourceForge database. Our
results provide empirical support for the view that patch development
and feature request are exploitation and exploration activities,
respectively. Network structures differ due to team formation
differences and have a differential impact on development success based
on the type of activity. The concepts of ambidextrous developers and
ambidexterity are explored in the context of OSS projects. Collectively,
our results indicate that studying OSS projects at the artifact level
could improve our understanding of OSS project success and team
formation. This, in turn, could lead to better management of OSS
projects.},

a low-cost elastomeric strain sensor, employed to determine, as an
example of application, the ROM of the knee during a squat exercise. Its
validation was performed by using smartphone cameras to record video and
open-source portable software tools (OpenCap and Pose2Sim). The results
show that the sensor is capable of providing the joint angle with
appreciable accuracy, with a maximum error of about 4 degrees, falling
within the mean error of the validation tools, and a larger error only
for angles at the extremes of the analyzed range of motion. The sensor
thus represents a reliable alternative to costly video-based systems.
Moreover, its adaptability to non-laboratory environments makes it
suitable for various applications, including event detection and human
activity recognition.},

Abstract = {With the emergence of social coding platforms, collaboration has become
a key and dynamic aspect to the success of software projects. In such
platforms, developers have to collaborate and deal with issues of
collaboration in open-source software development. Although
collaboration is challenging, collaborative development produces better
software systems than any developer could produce alone. Several
approaches have investigated collaboration challenges, for instance, by
proposing or evaluating models and tools to support collaborative work.
Despite the undeniable importance of the existing efforts in this
direction, there are few works on collaboration from perspectives of
developers. In this work, we aim to investigate the perceptions of
open-source software developers on collaborations, such as motivations,
techniques, and tools to support global, productive, and collaborative
development. Following an ad hoc literature review, an exploratory
interview study with 12 open-source software developers from GitHub, our
novel approach for this problem also relies on an extensive survey with
121 developers to confirm or refute the interview results. We found
different collaborative contributions, such as managing change requests.
Besides, we observed that most collaborators prefer to collaborate with
the core team instead of their peers. We also found that most
collaboration happens in software development (60\%) and maintenance
(47\%) tasks. Furthermore, despite personal preferences to work
independently, developers still consider collaborating with others in
specific task categories, for instance, software development. Finally,
developers also expressed the importance of the social coding platforms,
such as GitHub, to support maintainers, and contributors in making
decisions and developing tasks of the projects. Therefore, these
findings may help project leaders optimize the collaborations among
developers and reduce entry barriers. Moreover, these findings may
support the project collaborators in understanding the collaboration
process and engaging others in the project.},

Issues for organization science},

Abstract = {Currently, two models of innovation are prevalent in organization
science. The ``private investment{''} model assumes returns to the
innovator result from private goods and efficient regimes of
intellectual property protection. The ``collective action{''} model
assumes that under conditions of market failure, innovators collaborate
in order to produce a public good. The phenomenon of open source
software development shows that users program to solve their own as well
as shared technical problems, and freely reveal their innovations
without appropriating private returns from selling the software. In this
paper, we propose that open source software development is an exemplar
of a compound ``private-collective{''} model of innovation that contains
elements of both the private investment and the collective action models
and can offer society the ``best of both worlds{''} under many
conditions. We describe a new set of research questions this model
raises for scholars in organization science. We offer some details
regarding the types of data available for open source projects in order
to ease access for researchers who are unfamiliar with these, and also
offer some advice on conducting empirical studies on open source
software development processes.},

Title = {Wayback Machine: A tool to capture the evolutionary behavior of the bug
reports and their triage process in open-source software systems},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {189},
Month = {JUL},
Abstract = {The issue tracking system (ITS) is a rich data source for data-driven
decision-making. Different characteristics of bugs, such as severity,
priority, and time to fix, provide a clear picture of an ITS.
Nevertheless, such information may be misleading. For example, the exact
time and the effort spent on a bug might be significantly different from
the actual reporting time and the fixing time. Similarly, these values
may be subjective, e.g., severity and priority values are assigned based
on the intuition of a user or a developer rather than a structured and
well-defined procedure. Hence, we explore the evolution of the bug
dependency graph together with priority and severity levels to explore
the actual triage process. Inspired by the idea of the ``Wayback Machine
``for the World Wide Web, we aim to reconstruct the historical decisions
made in the ITS. Therefore, any bug prioritization or bug triage
algorithms/scenarios can be applied in the same environment using our
proposed ITS Wayback Machine. More importantly, we track the
evolutionary metrics in the ITS when a custom triage/prioritization
strategy is employed. We test the efficiency of the proposed algorithm
using data extracted from three open-source projects. Our empirical
study sheds light on the overlooked evolutionary metrics - e.g., overdue
bugs and developers' loads - which are facilitated via our proposed
past-event re-generator. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.},

plant phenotyping},
Journal = {COMPUTERS AND ELECTRONICS IN AGRICULTURE},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {200},
Month = {SEP},
Abstract = {Hyperspectral imaging has become one of the most popular techniques for
high-throughput plant phenotyping. Extracting and analyzing useful plant
phenotypic traits from hyperspectral images represents a major
bottleneck for plant science and breeding communities. This study aims
to present a stand-alone easy-to-use software platform called HSI-PP to
process and analyze hyperspectral images for high-throughput plant
phenotyping. The HSI-PP software integrates pre-processing, feature
extraction, and modeling functions. The application of HSI-PP is
exemplified by investigating the response of different Arabidopsis
thaliana genotypes to drought stress, and the impact of various imaging
angles on predicting the canopy nitrogen content (CNC) of oilseed rape
(Brassica napus L.). The results showed that HSI-PP can process 10 GB on
an ordinary PC in time ranging from 30 to 73 min according to image size
and the complexity of the pipeline. HSI-PP extracted multiple
phenotyping traits (spectral, textural, and morphological) of
Arabidopsis thaliana from a large image dataset (104 GB) within five
hours. The fusion of these features achieved higher accuracy (94\%) than
only using spectral information (85\%) as early as day 4 after drought
stress treatment. For oilseed rape, about 384 GB image data was
processed within eighteen hours, and it was found that the tilted
imaging angle of 75 had the optimized PLSR fitting (0.83) to the ground
truth. The results demonstrate that HSI-PP is a stand-alone, automated,
and open-source hyperspectral image processing platform adapted to
various applications in plant phenotyping without requiring professional
programming skills to serve the plant research community.},

Abstract = {Conflict is an important group process, and more so in self-organizing
teams with fluid boundaries and high possibility for turnover. We
empirically investigate different types of conflict in Free and Open
Source Software development teams, their antecedents and impact on
developers' sustained participation. Following a survey of 222 FOSS
developers, we find conflict to have an overall negative effect on
developer retention. Furthermore, different types of conflict have
varying impact on outcomes. In particular, only normative conflict
levels negatively impact intention to remain in a FOSS project. Both
normative and process conflict negatively affect perceptions of team
performance, while the co-occurrence of task and process conflict
exacerbate negative effects on outcomes. Though we find structural
factors like task interdependence and geographical distribution increase
overall conflict levels in FOSS teams, participatory decision-making and
a transformational leadership style have an ameliorating effect.
Implications for theory and practice are discussed.},

Abstract = {A few open source software (OSS) products exhibit an abrupt and
significant increase in downloads. However, the majority of OSS products
fail to gain much interest. Identifying early success is important for
catalyzing growth in OSS markets. However, previous OSS research has not
examined early product success dynamics and assumes adoption to be a
continuous process. We propose OSS takeoff in adoptions as a measure of
eventual product success. Takeoff is a nonlinear inflection point
separating the early development from the growth phase in the product
lifecycle. Using arguments from the signaling literature, we propose
that community activities send signals about product quality and reduce
information asymmetry faced by potential adopters of OSS products.
Estimating a Cox proportional hazard model using a large sample of OSS
products from SourceForge, we find that takeoff times are significantly
associated with signals of quality deficiency and improvement. Further,
we find that target audience and product innovativeness moderate this
relationship.},

Abstract = {In structural deformation monitoring especially of high-rise buildings
our main aim is hunting and pin-pointing the deviations of structural
movement from reference position (original) and to detect deviancy
during normal conditions to catastrophic damage e.g windstorm,
thunderstorm, explosion or earthquake. For that to happen an accurate,
robust and reliable method for structural monitoring is needed. GNSS
with its advanced augmentation techniques can give a positioning
accuracy in order of millimetres at its best. Such a higher order of
accuracy can be used for precise structural deformation monitoring.
Apart from that GNSS gives us loathsome advantages like all weather,
around the clock and global coverage. GNSS doesn't need line of sight as
it was needed in previous techniques between its stations. Due to these
benefits we are using GNSS technology for structural deformation
monitoring. GNSS also has some drawbacks like the positioning accuracy
is dependent up on number of available satellites, geometry of
satellites, multipath and receiver noise. Un-affordable price of precise
GNSS receivers also makes it tougher. The data used in the thesis is the
one used for structural deformation monitoring with the help of base
stations and the rovers using the real time kinematic RTK positioning
logged at ICON Tower Karachi, Pakistan a high-rise building. RTKLIB a
free software is used for analysis of logged data by applying
stand-alone, differential code and differential carrier phase (RTK)
positioning techniques. For our post processing GPS data analysis we had
used three rovers at three corners of building story under monitoring
with common reference station. One by one on each of the sets we have
RTK in RTKPOST GUI application of RTKLIB. For this analysis we have made
three cases of comparison between individual RTK results of rover pairs
and concluded deformation in a small chunk of time (3600 epochs) one
hour data.},

Title = {BlenderPhotonics: an integrated open-source software environment for
three-dimensional meshing and photon simulations in complex tissues},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL OPTICS},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {27},
Number = {8},
Month = {AUG 1},
Abstract = {Significance: Rapid advances in biophotonics techniques require
quantitative, model-based computational approaches to obtain functional
and structural information from increasingly complex and multiscaled
anatomies. The lack of efficient tools to accurately model tissue
structures and subsequently perform quantitative multiphysics modeling
greatly impedes the clinical translation of these modalities.
Aim: Although the mesh-based Monte Carlo (MMC) method expands our
capabilities in simulating complex tissues using tetrahedral meshes, the
generation of such domains often requires specialized meshing tools,
such as Iso2Mesh. Creating a simplified and intuitive interface for
tissue anatomical modeling and optical simulations is essential toward
making these advanced modeling techniques broadly accessible to the user
community.
Approach: We responded to the above challenge by combining the powerful,
open-source three-dimensional (3D) modeling software, Blender, with
state-of-the-art 3D mesh generation and MC simulation tools, utilizing
the interactive graphical user interface in Blender as the front-end to
allow users to create complex tissue mesh models and subsequently launch
MMC light simulations.
Results: Here, we present a tutorial to our Python-based Blender
add-on-BlenderPhotonics- to interface with Iso2Mesh and MMC, which
allows users to create, configure and refine complex simulation domains
and run hardware-accelerated 3D light simulations with only a few
clicks. We provide a comprehensive introduction to this tool and walk
readers through five examples, ranging from simple shapes to
sophisticated realistic tissue models.
Conclusions: BlenderPhotonics is user friendly and open source, and it
leverages the vastly rich ecosystem of Blender. It wraps advanced
modeling capabilities within an easy-to-use and interactive interface.

smallholder agricultural communities in Sri Lanka},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT},

Abstract = {In a world where the notion of `sharing of knowledge' has gained much
prominence in the recent past, the importance of information and
communications technologies (ICTs) to promote sustainable agriculture,
especially when combined with mobile and open source software
technologies is discussed critically. On this rationale, this study was
carried out to explore the applicability of the concept of converging
`Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)' to promote sustainable knowledge
sharing amongst the agricultural communities in Sri Lanka. A multi-stage
community consultative process with a set of designated officials
({''}Sponsors{''}) and a series of semi-structured questionnaire survey
with a cross section of smallholder agriculture farmers (n=246), were
carried out in the Batticaloa, Kurunegala and Puttalam districts to
gather the baseline data. This was followed by a number of field
experiments ({''}Campaigns{''}) with the farmers (n=340) from same
geographical areas. The two FOSS, namely: (1) ``FrontlineSMS{''} for
`Text Messaging' and (2) ``FreedomFone{''} for `Interactive Voice
Responses', were applied to evaluate the effectiveness of knowledge
sharing within the farming communities. It was found that FOSS
intervention increases the `Text messaging' and `Voice Call' usage in
day-to-day agricultural communication by 26 and 8 percent, respectively.
The demographic factors like age and educational level of the farmers
have a positive influence on the knowledge sharing process. And also the
`Mobile Telephony' was the most extensive mode of communication within
the communities. The outcome of analysis, as a whole, implies that, with
a fitting mechanism in place, this approach can be promoted as a ``drive
for positive changes{''} in agriculture-based rural communities in
developing countries like Sri Lanka, and those in South and East Asia
with similar socioeconomic and cultural perspectives.},

Abstract = {The combined development of new technologies for neuronal recordings and
the development of novel sensors for recording both cellular activity
and neurotransmitter binding has ushered in a new era for the field of
neuroscience. Among these new technologies is fiber photometry, a
technique wherein an implanted fiber optic is used to record signals
from genetically encoded fluorescent sensors in bulk tissue. Fiber
photometry has been widely adapted due to its cost-effectiveness,
ability to examine the activity of neurons with specific anatomical or
genetic identities, and the ability to use these highly modular systems
to record from one or more sensors or brain sites in both superficial
and deep-brain structures. Despite these many benefits, one major hurdle
for laboratories adopting this technique is the steep learning curve
associated with the analysis of fiber photometry data. This has been
further complicated by a lack of standardization in analysis pipelines.
In the present communication, we present pMAT, a `photometry modular
analysis tool' that allows users to accomplish common analysis routines
through the use of a graphical user interface. This tool can be deployed
in MATLAB and edited by more advanced users, but is also available as an
independently deployable, open-source application.},

Abstract = {Many organisations are dependent upon long-term sustainable software
systems and associated communities. In this paper we consider long-term
sustainability of Open Source software communities in Open Source
software projects involving a fork. There is currently a lack of studies
in the literature that address how specific Open Source software
communities are affected by a fork. We report from a study aiming to
investigate the developer community around the LibreOffice project,
which is a fork from the OpenOffice.org project. In so doing, our
analysis also covers the OpenOffice.org project and the related Apache
OpenOffice project. The results strongly suggest a long-term sustainable
LibreOffice community and that there are no signs of stagnation in the
LibreOffice project 33 months after the fork. Our analysis provides
details on developer communities for the LibreOffice and Apache
OpenOffice projects and specifically concerning how they have evolved
from the OpenOffice.org community with respect to project activity,
developer commitment, and retention of committers over time. Further, we
present results from an analysis of first hand experiences from
contributors in the LibreOffice community. Findings from our analysis
show that Open Source software communities can outlive Open Source
software projects and that LibreOffice is perceived by its community as
supportive, diversified, and independent. The study contributes new
insights concerning challenges related to long-term sustainability of
Open Source software communities. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by

Abstract = {The benign development of Open-source Software Ecosystem (or OSSE) helps
to fuse the wisdom of the community. It can facilitate the development
and solve the urgent application needs of large-scale complex software
systems. To guarantee that an OSSE is stable and effective for

has become a research hotspot. In this paper, starting from a new
perspective, the OSSE is compared with the ecosystem in the natural
world. An OSSE health measure method is proposed by integrating
projection pursuit and real-coded accelerated genetic algorithm. First,
according to the snowball sampling data collection method and the
grounded theory, the data is collected and processed. Second, by
designing evaluation indicators and utility functions, the projection
pursuit classification model of the natural ecosystem is evaluated and
combined with a real-coded accelerated genetic algorithm, thereby
designing the health measure model. The experimental results suggest the
effectiveness of the proposed approach.},

Abstract = {In this paper, we present a new open-source (OS) software library for
building discrete event simulation objects with focus on manufacturing
environments. ManPy stands for Manufacturing in Python' but employs a
generic approach that can be extended to other types of business
processes such as services, logistics and supply chain management. It is
written in Python and makes use of the SimPy library to implement a
process interaction world view. The goal in developing ManPy is to
provide an expandable OS layer of well-defined manufacturing objects,
which can be used by users with multiple levels of expertise in discrete
event simulation, namely, a super user and an industrial engineer. This
object repository follows a structured architecture, allowing developers
to extend it, exchange ideas and methodologies, with the goal of forming
an OS community. We explain how ManPy is developed on SimPy, present its
architecture and give examples of its utilization. We also give insight
of how this work is planned to progress in order to attract software
developers, modellers and practitioners in an OS community. Copyright

Abstract = {GitHub is a developers' social networking service that hosts a great
number of open source software (OSS) projects. Although some of the
hosted projects are growing and have many developers, most projects are
organized by a few developers and face difficulties in terms of
sustainability. OSS projects depend mainly on volunteer developers, and
attracting and retaining these volunteers are major concerns of the
project stakeholders. To investigate the population structures of OSS
development communities in detail and conduct software analytics to
obtain actionable information, we apply a demographic approach.
Demography is the scientific study of population and seeks to identify
the levels and trends in the size and components of a population. This
paper presents a case study, investigating the characteristics of the
population structures of OSS projects on GitHub, and shows population
projections generated with the well-known cohort component method. We
found that there are four types of population structures in OSS
development communities in terms of experiences and contributions. In
addition, we projected the future population accurately using a cohort
component population projection method. This method predicts a
population of the next period using a survival rate calculated from past
population. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that
applied demography to the field of OSS research. Our approach addressing
OSS-related problems based on demography will bring new insights, since
studying population is novel in OSS research. Understanding current and
future structures of OSS projects can help practitioners to monitor a
project, gain awareness of what is happening, manage risks, and evaluate
past decisions.},

Abstract = {Collaboration enables the sharing amongst individuals of resources and
knowledge required to innovate. In recent years, this phenomenon has
increasingly manifested in virtual collaborative spaces such as
open-source software communities because of the advancement in the use
of online technologies and the heightened need for distance work.
However, it is still unclear which underlying mechanisms foster
collaboration in these spaces. By using the Linux kernel open-source
software community as a case study, we analyze data from the
linux-pci@vger.kernel.org mailing list to model the influence of
proximity on the likelihood of collaboration between individuals. Our
dataset is composed of 10,513 message replies to the PCI mailing list
posted by its 654 active members in the years 2013 to 2015. Our results
show that geographical proximity does not have a direct impact on
collaboration, while organizational features defined by institutional
and organizational proximity do significantly affect collaboration.
Cognitive and social proximity also significantly, and positively,
affects collaboration, but these relationships show an inverted u-shaped
form. Our results confirm the need to develop specific theorizing about
virtual spaces, as they present unique features when compared to
traditional physical environments.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) does not work without contributions from the
community. In particular, long-term contributors (LTCs) (e.g.,
committer), defined as contributors who spend at least one year on OSS
projects, play a crucial role in a project success because they would
have permission to add (commit) code changes to a project's version
control system, and to become a mentor for a beginner in OSS projects.
However, contributors often leave a project before becoming a LTC
because most contributors are volunteers. If contributors are motivated
in their work in OSS projects, they might not leave the projects. In
this study, we examine the phenomena involved in becoming a LTC in terms
of motivation to continue in OSS projects. In particular, our target
motivation is to understand what is involved in long-term contribution
with other expert contributors. We study classifier to identify a LTC
who will contribute patch submissions for more than one year based on
collaboration in terms of the code review process. In detail, we analyze
what review feedbacks encourage a contributor to continue with OSS
project. Using a Qt project dataset, we build a prediction model to
identify a LTC. We find that not only contributor's activities, but also
a reviewer feedbacks, useful in identifying LTCs.},

major challenge. Some factors that make software hard to maintain are
geographically distributed development teams, frequent and rapid
turnover of volunteers, absence of a formal means, and lack of
documentation and explicit project planning. In this paper we propose
remote and continuous analysis of open source software to monitor
evolution using available resources such as CVS code repository,
commitment log files and exchanged mail. Evolution monitoring relies on
three principal services. The first service analyzes and monitors the
increase in complexity and the decline in quality; the second supports
distributed developers by sending them a feedback report after each
contribution, the third allows developers to gain insight into the ``big
picture{''} of software by providing a dashboard of project evolution.
Besides the description of provided services, the paper presents a
prototype environment for continuous analysis of the evolution of GRASS,
an open source software.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) has introduced a new dimension in software
community. As the development and use of OSS becomes prominent, the
question of its integration in education arises. In this paper, the
following practices fundamental to projects and processes in software
engineering are examined from an OSS perspective: project management;
process, workflows, and collaborative activities; modeling and
specification; deployment of standards; documentation; and quality
assurance and evaluation. Based on a pragmatic framework, the prospects
of integrating OSS in a traditional software engineering curriculum are
outlined and concerns in realizing them are given. In doing so, the
cases of the adoption of OSS process model, use of OSS as a Computer
Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tool, OSS as a standalone sub-system,
and open source code reuse are considered. We present some of the
trade-offs that could help educators in decision making towards the use
of the OSS environment in software engineering pedagogical contexts. The
significance of openly accessible content in general and its relation to
OSS in particular is briefly highlighted.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) ecosystems have reshaped the ways how
software-intensive firms develop products and deliver value to
customers. However, firms still need support for strategic product
planning in terms of what to develop internally and what to share as
OSS. Existing models accurately capture commoditization in software
business, but lack operational support to decide what contribution
strategy to employ in terms of what and when to contribute. This study
proposes a Contribution Acceptance Process (CAP) model from which firms
can adopt contribution strategies that align with product strategies and
planning. In a design science influenced case study executed at Sony
Mobile, the CAP model was iteratively developed in close collaboration
with the firm's practitioners. The CAP model helps classify artifacts
according to business impact and control complexity so firms may
estimate and plan whether an artifact should be contributed or not.
Further, an information meta-model is proposed that helps operationalize
the CAP model at the organization. The CAP model provides an operational
OI perspective on what firms involved in OSS ecosystems should share, by
helping them motivate contributions through the creation of contribution
strategies. The goal is to help maximize return on investment and
sustain needed influence in OSS ecosystems. (C) 2017 The Authors.

is created based on literature and validated iteratively with expert
opinions through interviews. Contribution: In this research preview, we
present our initial results after our first design cycle and
consultation with one experienced OSS manager at a large OSS oriented

systems. By switching to a pure open-source solution, East-Adl becomes
easier to inspect, evolve, and develop a community around. We compare
both the mixed COTS/open-source and the open-source-only workflows,
outline the advantages of the open-source-only solution, and show that
we achieve equivalent tooling features compared to the original
approach.},

developing digital skills an engage in a learning process. It is an
EVENT around which people who care about a topic can gather and talk
about it in a structured way. MOOC can promote the network learning for
lifelong. People that have reputations for interesting skills and
innovative thinking besides a topic, collaborate by opening an online
course covering that topic. Anyone can join it. In a MOOC we can choose
what we want to do, how we want to participate and we can decide if we
have been successful, just like an existing atmosphere. Tutorials on
almost all the Free open source are run by Spoken tutorials which is
available on the internet and is provided by the team of spoken tutorial

Abstract = {To increase open-source software supply chain security, protecting the
development environment of contributors against attacks is crucial. For
example, contributors must protect authentication credentials for
software repositories, code-signing keys, and their systems from
malware.
Previous incidents illustrated that open-source contributors struggle
with protecting their development environment. In contrast to companies,
open-source software projects cannot easily enforce security guidelines
for development environments. Instead, contributors' security setups are
likely heterogeneous regarding chosen technologies and strategies.
To the best of our knowledge, we perform the first in-depth qualitative
investigation of the security of open-source software contributors'
individual security setups, their motivation, decision-making, and
sentiments, and the potential impact on open-source software supply
chain security. Therefore, we conduct 20 semi-structured interviews with
a diverse set of experienced contributors to critical open-source
software projects.
Overall, we find that contributors have a generally high affinity for
security. However, security practices are rarely discussed in the
community or enforced by projects. Furthermore, we see a strong
influence of social mechanisms, such as trust, respect, or politeness,
further impeding the sharing of security knowledge and best practices.
We conclude our work with a discussion of the impact of our findings on
open-source software and supply chain security, and make recommendations
for the open-source software community.},

Abstract = {Many open source software systems are variability-intensive because they
are frequently adapted to different customer needs or deployment
environments. Variability in these systems not only occurs in
functionality, but also in quality attributes (e. g., security,
reliability, dependability). Furthermore, variability in functionality
and variability in quality attributes affect each other. Recently, open
source communities have adopted microblogging to document and share
software engineering knowledge. Microblogging dissolves boundaries
between developers and other stakeholders (e.g., end users). This
facilitates the involvement of many different non-technical stakeholders
in the software development process. In this paper, we investigate the
feasibility and suitability of utilizing microblogs to identify and
analyze dependability information about open source software systems. We
use the example of the currently most popular microblogging
infrastructure (Twitter) and a widely used open source content
management system (Drupal). Our results indicate that even though open
source communities frequently share information on Twitter, challenges
exist for extracting and analyzing dependability information.
Furthermore, a better understanding is needed to describe the relation
between issues reported by user communities in microblogs, and issues
and actions documented by developer communities in change logs and

Abstract = {Software testing is an important method to guarantee the quality of
equipment software. With the rapid development of open source
technology, more and more kinds of equipment software are using open
source software(OSS). However, the relevant test standards and test
specifications for guiding the testing of OSS used by equipment software
are lacking at present. This article combines the features of OSS and
the testing process of equipment software, proposes for the first time
the testing strategies covering the main process of software testing for
the testing of OSS used by equipment, which is of great significance in
improving the quality of equipment software. This article mainly
researches the tasks in test preparation and test implementation stages,
and proposes the entry conditions for software testing and the
confirmation principles for the testing scope of OSS in the test
preparation stage; in the test implementation stage, according to the
relevant requirements of equipment software testing, this article puts
forward the test specifications applicable to OSS from the perspective
of document review, static analysis, code review, and configuration
item/system testing processes, and analyzes the potential risks in the
implementation process and the feasible degradation strategies.},

software developers},
Journal = {PLOS ONE},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {14},

Month = {DEC 30},
Abstract = {Trust between developers influences the success of open source software
(OSS) projects. Although existing research recognizes the importance of
trust, there is a lack of an effective and scalable computational method
to measure trust in an OSS community. Consequently, OSS project members
must rely on subjective inferences based on fragile and incomplete
information for trust-related decision making. We propose an automated
approach to assist a developer in identifying the trustworthiness of
another developer. Our two-fold approach, first, computes direct trust
between developer pairs who have interacted previously by analyzing
their interactions via natural language processing. Second, we infer
indirect trust between developers who have not interacted previously by
constructing a community-wide developer network and propagating trust in
the network. A large-scale evaluation of our approach on a GitHub
dataset consisting of 24,315 developers shows that contributions from
trusted developers are more likely to be accepted to a project compared
to contributions from developers who are distrusted or lacking trust
from project members. Further, we develop a pull request classifier that
exploits trust metrics to effectively predict the likelihood of a pull
request being accepted to a project, demonstrating the practical utility
of our approach.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) is software whose source code that is open to
the public through the Internet. Currently, OSS is widely used in many
aspects of IT society. Because OSS development is community based,
unlike commercial software, the lack of good documentation or the
maintenance of manuals is one of the main problems of using OSS. Due to
its rapid development, OSS manuals become easily obsolete. Moreover, the
installation or the usage varies depending on the operating system. To
solve the documentation problems, Murakami et al. proposed a method of
automatically generating a web manual for installing an OSS by editing
the log information recorded during the installation process.
Unfortunately, the web manual generated by this system was not suitable
for wide use in learning management systems. Therefore, this paper
extends the system by Murakami et al. to one with the ability to deliver
an automatically generated Web manual on an e-learning management
system, modify the content of the manual, and skip unnecessary
information in the learning process. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by

Abstract = {The focus of existing open source software (OSS) research has been on
how and why individuals and firms add to the commons of public OSS
code-that is, on the ``giving{''} side of this open innovation process.
In contrast, research on the corresponding ``receiving{''} side of the
innovation process is scarce. We address this gap, studying how existing
OSS code is reused and serves as an input to further OSS development.
Our findings are based on a survey with 686 responses from OSS
developers. As the most interesting results, our multivariate analyses
of developers' code reuse behavior point out that developers with larger
personal networks within the OSS community and those who have experience
in a greater number of OSS projects reuse more, presumably because both
network size and a broad project experience facilitate local search for
reusable artifacts. Moreover, we find that a development paradigm that
calls for releasing an initial functioning version of the software
early-as the ``credible promise{''} in OSS-leads to increased reuse.
Finally, we identify developers' interest in tackling difficult
technical challenges as detrimental to efficient reuse-based innovation.
Beyond OSS, we discuss the relevance of our findings for companies
developing software and for the receiving side of open innovation
processes, in general.},

Title = {Problem-formulation and problem-solving in self-organized communities:
How modes of communication shape project behaviors in the free
open-source software community},

Volume = {37},

Abstract = {Research summary: Building on the problem-solving perspective, we study
behaviors related to projects and the communication-based antecedents of
such behaviors in the free open-source software (FOSS) community. We
examine two kinds of problem/project-behaviors: Individuals can set up
projects around the formulation of new problems or join existing
projects and define and/or work on subproblems within an existing
problem. The choice between these two behaviors is influenced by the
mode of communication. A communication mode with little a priori
structure is the best mode for communicating about new problems (i.e.,
formulating a problem); empirically, it is associated with project
launching behaviors. In contrast, more structured communication fits
subproblems better and is related to project joining behaviors. Our
hypotheses derive support from data from the FOSS community.Managerial
summary: We study how the way in which individuals communicate influence
the project-behaviors they engage in. We find that relatively
unstructured communication is associated with the setting up new
projects, while communication that is structured around an artifact is
associated with joining projects. Our findings hold implications for
understanding how management may influence project behaviors and
problem-solving: Firms that need to concentrate on more incremental
problem-solving efforts (e.g., because a sufficient number of attractive
problems have already been defined) should create environments in which
interaction is undertaken mainly via artifacts. On the other hand, if
firms seek to generate new problems (e.g., new strategic opportunities),
they should create environments in which open-ended, verbal conversation
is relatively more important than artifact-based communication.

Abstract = {Free and open source software, holding a strategic position in knowledge
economy, reaffirms the critical role of governments and regional
authorities in establishing strategies for integrating effective and
sustainable Information Technology solutions in the public sector

major software user with great impact on the software market. In this
sense, software selection in the public sector is a highly political and
strategic process: various collateral implications and policy aspects
should be considered in order to reach the best possible decisions.
Within this context, this manuscript provides policy recommendations on
issues and challenges pertaining to the use of free and open source
software by European public administrations. The recommended policy
actions are mainly based on review of the current policy framework. The
main goal of this manuscript is to contribute in providing policy

Abstract = {Neuroanatomical tracer studies in the nonhuman primate macaque monkey
are a valuable resource for cognitive neuroscience research. These data
ground theories of cognitive function in anatomy, and with the emergence
of graph theoretical analyses in neuroscience, there is high demand for
these data to be consolidated into large-scale connection matrices
({''}macroconnectomes{''}). Because manual review of the anatomical
literature is time consuming and error prone, computational solutions
are needed to accomplish this task. Here we describe the ``CoCoTools{''}
open-source Python library, which automates collection and integration
of macaque connectivity data for visualization and graph theory
analysis. CoCoTools both interfaces with the CoCoMac database, which
houses a vast amount of annotated tracer results from 100 years
(1905-2005) of neuroanatomical research, and implements coordinate-free
registration algorithms, which allow studies that use different
parcellations of the brain to be translated into a single graph. We show
that using CoCoTools to translate all of the data stored in CoCoMac
produces graphs with properties consistent with what is known about
global brain organization. Moreover, in addition to describing
CoCoTools' processing pipeline, we provide worked examples, tutorials,
links to on-line documentation, and detailed appendices to aid
scientists interested in using CoCoTools to gather and analyze CoCoMac
data.},

Bugs are recorded in repositories, which occur due to frequent changes
in source code of software to meet the requirements of organizations or

changed continuously due to which source code becomes complicated and
hence bugs appear frequently. Bug repair process includes addition of
new feature, enhancement of existing feature, some faults or other
maintenance task. Entropy measures the uncertainty, thus helpful in
studying code change process. In this paper, bugs reported in various
subcomponents of Bugzilla open-source software are considered; changes
are quantified in terms of entropies using Renyi, Havrda-Charvat, and
Arimoto entropy measures of each component for all changes in
components. A linear regression model using SPSS is applied to detect
the expected bugs in the Bugzilla subcomponents. Performance has been
measured using goodness-of-fit curve and other R-square residuals.},

In this paper, a high-resolution impact assessment framework based on 2D
inundation modelling with different return periods was used, as input,
within the FloodRisk model to reconstruct the socio-economic damages
based on a case study showing how structural and non-structural measures
can significantly decrease the cost of floods for households. The
sensitivity of the FloodRisk model was also examined and it was found to
be highly dependent on the selection of damage functions and the

Abstract = {Peer review is seen as an important quality-assurance mechanism in both
industrial development and the open-source software (OSS) community. The
techniques for performing inspections have been well studied in
industry; in OSS development, software peer reviews are not as well

To develop an empirical understanding of OSS peer review, we examine the
review policies of 25 OSS projects and study the archival records of six
large, mature, successful OSS projects. We extract a series of measures
based on those used in traditional inspection experiments. We measure
the frequency of review, the size of the contribution under review, the
level of participation during review, the experience and expertise of
the individuals involved in the review, the review interval, and the
number of issues discussed during review. We create statistical models
of the review efficiency, review interval, and effectiveness, the issues
discussed during review, to determine which measures have the largest
impact on review efficacy.
We find that OSS peer reviews are conducted asynchronously by empowered
experts who focus on changes that are in their area of expertise.
Reviewers provide timely, regular feedback on small changes. The
descriptive statistics clearly show that OSS review is drastically
different from traditional inspection.},

This study is prompted by the significant but detail-lacking examination
of differential effects of various types of extrinsic motivations on
participants' task effort in OSS projects and their interaction effects
with participants' psychological states. Drawing upon self-determination
theory, we establish four types of extrinsic motivations in OSS
communities (i.e., external, introjected, identified, and integrated
motivation) and investigate how these types affect task effort
differently. Also, integrating self-determination theory with affective
event theory, we study how satisfaction of needs for competence,
autonomy, and relatedness moderates the relationships between extrinsic
motivations and task effort. The research model is largely supported by
data from 250 participants in various OSS projects. Theoretical
contribution and practical implications are discussed.},

in genomics was a result of specific technological practices. Biologists
developed and adopted technologies of the nascent World Wide Web and

information. These technologies supported decentralized, collaborative,
and nonproprietary modes of production in biology. Such technologies
were appealing not merely because they were expedient for genomic work
but because they also offered a way of promoting a particular form of
genomic practice. As the genome sequencing centers scaled up their
sharing efforts, a small group of computer-savvy biologists used these
tools to promote the interests of the public genome sequencing effort.
The agreements at Bermuda should be understood as part of this attempt
to foster a particular form of genomic work.},

Abstract = {This article presents research and development of a collaboration cloud
computing application for water resources based on open source software.
The cloud computing application is using a hybrid deployment model of
public - private cloud, running on two separate virtual machines (VMs).
The first one (VM1) is running on Amazon web services (AWS) and the
second one (VM2) is running on a Xen cloud platform. The collaborative
cloud application has four web services for 1) data infrastructure (DI),
2) support for water resources modelling (WRM), 3) user management and
4) water resources optimization (WRO). The most important characteristic
of the cloud application is a real- time geo-collaboration platform
supporting multiple users. This research shows the capability to scale
and distribute the cloud application between several VMs. The cloud
application was successfully tested in the Zletovica case study in a
distributed computer environment with concurred multiple access.},

some knowledge of programming into Action Script. Both software has
bibliographic resources quite confined, but can also be used easily as
soon as it gains experience. The software's have the possibility to
generate tests, but in the case of eXe Learning the answers that have
the disadvantage that the order is the same and it is necessary to use
special software to test for generating (like Hot Potatoes). The Xerte
can generate the quizzes with random answers. The course can be saved in

may be used independently, without access to the Internet (with saving
multimedia materials to another medium), etc.},

Abstract = {Study of weaving processes requires knowledge of many phases of
processing and phenomena's. Traditional approach to teaching these
processes has the disadvantage of a presentation largely of information
not directly corresponding with the real phenomenon (understanding
sectional warping phases). For this purpose requires the use of
multimedia presentations for the connection between information and the
phenomenon described These presentations can be made classical, in the
course room, but for better depth can use different e-learning systems.
The purpose of this paper is to present several open source solutions
that can be applied to study the processes of weaving (eXe Learning, Hot
Potatoes, and so on)., This software can be used to create interactive

Abstract = {Since its origins, the diffusion of the OSS phenomenon and the
information about it has been entrusted to the Internet and its virtual
communities of developers. This public mass of data has attracted the
interest of researchers and practitioners aiming at formalizing it into
a body of knowledge. To this aim, in 2005, a new series of conferences
on OSS started to collect and convey OSS knowledge to the research and
industrial community. Our work mines articles of the OSS conference
series to understand the process of knowledge grounding and the
community surrounding it. As such, we propose a semi-automated approach
for a systematic mapping study on these articles. We automatically build
a map of cross-citations among all the papers of the conferences and
then we manually inspect the resulting clusters to identify knowledge
building blocks and their mutual relationships. We found that
industry-related, quality assurance, and empirical studies often
originate or maintain new streams of research.},

traces},
Journal = {PLOS COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {16},
Number = {12},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Biological measurements frequently involve measuring parameters as a
function of time, space, or frequency. Later, during the analysis phase
of the study, the researcher splits the recorded data trace into smaller
sections, analyzes each section separately by finding a mean or fitting
against a specified function, and uses the analysis results in the
study. Here, we present the software that allows to analyze these data
traces in a manner that ensures repeatability of the analysis and
simplifies the application of FAIR (findability, accessibility,
interoperability, and reusability) principles in such studies. At the
same time, it simplifies the routine data analysis pipeline and gives
access to a fast overview of the analysis results. For that, the
software supports reading the raw data, processing the data as specified
in the protocol, and storing all intermediate results in the laboratory
database. The software can be extended by study- or hardware-specific
modules to provide the required data import and analysis facilities. To
simplify the development of the data entry web interfaces, that can be
used to enter data describing the experiments, we released a web
framework with an example implementation of such a site. The software is
covered by open-source license and is available through several online
channels.
Author summary
In biological and other types of experiments, we frequently record
changes of some parameters in time or space. It is common to analyze the
data by splitting the recording into smaller sections and relating it to
some changes induced by the researchers. The steps involved in the
analysis are: splitting of the data, fitting them to some function,
relating the fit result to the change in the environment, and
normalization. These steps are frequently done through several software
packages, spreedsheets, and manual copy and paste between the programs.
The software presented in this work allows to make all these analysis
steps in one database in a manner that is easy, can be reproduced by
others, and clearly tracks the history of all the analysis steps. In
addition, it allows to link the experimental data with the description
of the experiment, making it simple to perform tasks such as
normalization of the recorded values, relating experimental recordings
to the sample or animal, as well as extracting data from the laboratory
database for publishing. The software is written to be easily extendable
by user-defined modules to fit the analysis pipelines and is expected to
improve the data analysis practices in research.},

Abstract = {The diminished reality (DR) techniques that visualize blind areas in
road environments are expected to prevent accidents and to reduce
passengers' stress or anxiety. However, the feasibility of such
techniques is still unclear because most researches on DR for road
environments are based on the assumption of the availability of specific
sensor arrangements and infrastructures, which are not guaranteed to
spread in the future. In this research, we propose a novel design to
implement a DR system for rendering ghosted hidden background areas
using various sensor data for self-driving. Our major assumption is that
a number of automotive vehicles run around the world in the near future
and their sensors and program modules are available for other purposes.
In our experiments, we confirmed that hidden area can be visualized by
using such data and modules.},

Abstract = {The sequential analysis of client and clinician speech in psychotherapy
sessions can help to identify and characterize potential mechanisms of
treatment and behavior change. Previous studies required coding systems
that were time-consuming, expensive, and error-prone. Existing software
can be expensive and inflexible, and furthermore, no single package
allows for pre-parsing, sequential coding, and assignment of global
ratings. We developed a free, open-source, and adaptable program to meet
these needs: The CASAA Application for Coding Treatment Interactions
(CACTI). Without transcripts, CACTI facilitates the real-time sequential
coding of behavioral interactions using WAV-format audio files. Most
elements of the interface are user-modifiable through a simple XML file,
and can be further adapted using Java through the terms of the GNU
Public License. Coding with this software yields interrater
reliabilities comparable to previous methods, but at greatly reduced
time and expense. CACTI is a flexible research tool that can simplify
psychotherapy process research, and has the potential to contribute to
the improvement of treatment content and delivery.},

Descriptors and Fingerprints},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY},
Year = {2011},
Volume = {32},
Number = {7},
Pages = {1466-1474},
Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {Introduction: PaDEL-Descriptor is a software for calculating molecular
descriptors and fingerprints. The software currently calculates 797
descriptors (663 1D, 2D descriptors, and 134 3D descriptors) and 10
types of fingerprints. These descriptors and fingerprints are calculated
mainly using The Chemistry Development Kit. Some additional descriptors
and fingerprints were added, which include atom type electrotopological
state descriptors, McGowan volume, molecular linear free energy relation
descriptors, ring counts, count of chemical substructures identified by
Laggner, and binary fingerprints and count of chemical substructures
identified by Klekota and Roth.
Methods: PaDEL-Descriptor was developed using the Java language and
consists of a library component and an interface component. The library
component allows it to be easily integrated into quantitative structure
activity relationship software to provide the descriptor calculation
feature while the interface component allows it to be used as a
standalone software. The software uses a Master/Worker pattern to take
advantage of the multiple CPU cores that are present in most modern
computers to speed up calculations of molecular descriptors.
Results: The software has several advantages over existing standalone
molecular descriptor calculation software. It is free and open source,
has both graphical user interface and command line interfaces, can work
on all major platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOS), supports more than 90
different molecular file formats, and is multithreaded.
Conclusion: PaDEL-Descriptor is a useful addition to the currently
available molecular descriptor calculation software. The software can be
downloaded at http://padel.nus.edu.sg/software/padeldescriptor. (C) 2010

IEEE 802.11a/b/g hardware and the open source MadWiFi driver. This helps
us in developing and testing our prototype without having to buy and
manage several licensed spectrum bands. We begin with a discussion of
the key research issues and challenges in the practical implementation
of a dynamic spectrum access network. Then the lessons learned from the
development of dynamic spectrum access protocols, designing management
frame structures, software implementation of the dynamic spectrum access
network protocol stack, and testbed experimental measurement results are
presented. Several trade-offs in prototype implementation complexity vs.
network performance are also discussed. We also identify potential
security vulnerabilities in cognitive radio networks, specifically as
applied to SpiderRadio, and point out some defense mechanisms against
these vulnerabilities.},

Abstract = {In the software industry, commercial open-source software vendors have
recognized that providing services to help businesses derive greater
value in the implementation of open source-based systems can be a
profitable business model. Moreover, society may greatly benefit when
software originators choose an open-source development strategy as their
products become widely available, readily customizable, and open to
community contributions. In this study, we present an economic model to
study how software licensing attributes affect a software originator's
decisions, aiming to provide policy makers with insights into how
welfare-improving, open-source outcomes can be incentivized. We show
that when a competing contributor is apt at reaping the benefits of
software development investment, a less restrictive open source license
(e.g., Berkeley Software Distribution, or BSD style) can improve
welfare. On the other hand, when the originator is better at leveraging
investment and service costs are high, a more restrictive license (e.g.,
General Public License, or GPL style) can be best for social welfare
even when a contributor can cost-efficiently develop the software.},

Abstract = {Cell migration is frequently accompanied by changes in cell morphology
(morphodynamics) on a range of spatial and temporal scales. Despite
recent advances in imaging techniques, the application of unbiased
computational image analysis methods for morphodynamic quantification is
rare. For example, manual analysis using kymographs is still
commonplace, often caused by lack of access to user-friendly, automated
tools. We now describe software designed for the automated
quantification of cell migration and morphodynamics. Implemented as a
plug-in for the open-source platform, ImageJ, ADAPT is capable of rapid,
automated analysis of migration and membrane protrusions, together with
associated fluorescently labeled proteins, across multiple cells. We
demonstrate the ability of the software by quantifying variations in
cell population migration rates on different extracellular matrices. We
also show that ADAPT can detect and morphologically profile filopodia.
Finally, we have used ADAPT to compile an unbiased description of a
``typical{''} bleb formed at the plasma membrane and quantify the effect
of Arp2/3 complex inhibition on bleb retraction.},

Abstract = {A quality degradation effect of proprietary code has been observed as a
consequence of maintenance. This quality degradation effect, called
entropy, is a cause for higher maintenance costs. In the Open Source
context, the quality of code is a fundamental tenet of open software
developers. As a consequence, the quality degradation principle measured
by entropy cannot be assumed to be valid.
The goal of the paper is to analyze the entropy of Open Source
applications by measuring the evolution of maintenance costs over time.
Analyses are based on cost data collected from a sample of 1251 Open
Source application versions, compared with the costs estimated with a
traditional model for proprietary software. Findings indicate that Open
Source applications are less subject to entropy, have lower maintenance
costs and also a lower need for maintenance interventions aimed at
restoring quality. Finally, results show that a lower entropy is favored
by greater functional simplicity.},

Abstract = {Voluntary contributions are crucial to the success of open source
software (OSS) projects. Firms sponsoring OSS projects may face
substantial challenges in soliciting such contributions, since volunteer
participants are neither regulated by an employment contract nor offered
financial incentives. Although prior work has shown the positive impact
of motivation on the effort expended by volunteer participants, there is
limited understanding of how specific firm attributes shape volunteers'
intrinsic motivation. We offer a theoretical model of how the perceived
community-based credibility and openness of the sponsoring firm have a
positive impact on the intrinsic motivation of volunteer participants.
The model is explored using survey data on volunteer participants from
two sponsored OSS projects. Results show that a sponsoring firm's
community-based credibility (OSS developers' perception of its expertise
and trustworthiness) and openness (its mutual knowledge exchange with
the community) strengthen the volunteer participants' social
identification with the firm-sponsored community, which in turn
reinforces their intrinsic motivation to participate. Moreover, the
perceived community-based credibility of a sponsoring firm directly
enhances volunteer participants' intrinsic motivation, whereas perceived
openness fails to affect motivation without the mediating mechanism of
social identification. Implications for firms seeking voluntary
contributions for their sponsored OSS projects are discussed.},

Abstract = {Purpose - Little is known as to the breadth and diversity of Open Source
Software (OSS) applications for libraries and the development
characteristics that influence the sustainability and success of
projects creating them. The purpose of this paper is to address this gap
by analyzing a large sample of library OSS projects.
Design/methodology/approach - A total of 594 library OSS projects (469
from SourceForge and 125 from Foss4lib) are classified by type and
further differentiated and assessed across a number of criteria
including, but not limited to, sponsorship status, license type, and
development status.
Findings - While various types of library OSS applications were found to
be under development and in use, the results show that there has been a
steady decrease in the number of projects initiated since 2009. Although
sponsorship was significantly positively associated with several
indicators of OSS project success, the proportion of sponsored projects
was relatively small compared to the proportions reported in some other
contexts. In total, 71 percent of the projects have a restrictive
license scheme, suggesting that the OSS ideology is valued among library
OSS projects. The results also indicate that library OSS projects
exhibit several characteristics that differ from the traditional
developer-oriented OSS projects in terms of their technical environment.
Originality/value - This study, as the first of its kind, offers a
broader, more quantitative picture of the state of library OSS
applications as well as the development characteristics of projects
developing them. Several implications for research and practice, and
directions for future research are provided.},

Abstract = {Current estimates suggest widespread adoption of open source software
(OSS) in organizations worldwide. However, the problematic nature of OSS
adoption is readily evidenced in the fairly frequent reports of
problems, unforeseen hold-ups, and outright abandonment of OSS
implementation over time. Beaumont Hospital, an Irish public sector
organization, have embarked on the adoption of a range of OSS
applications over several years, some of which have been successfully
deployed and remain in live use within the organisation, whereas others,
despite achieving high levels of assimilation over a number of years,
have not been ultimately retained in live use in the organization. Using
a longitudinal case study, we discuss in depth the deployment process
for two OSS applications - the desktop application suite whose
deployment was unsuccessful ultimately, and the email application which
was successfully deployed. To our knowledge, this is the first such
in-depth study into successful and unsuccessful OSS implementation.
Given that our study was a longitudinal one in a single organization, we
can control a number of potentially important influencing elements which
would not be possible if multiple organizations were involved. In
particular, the complex interaction of issues to do with voluntariness
of adoption, image, trialability and absorptive capacity were critical
influences in the process.},

Abstract = {Neurons perform computations by integrating inputs from thousands of
synapses-mostly in the dendritic tree-to drive action potential firing
in the axon. One fruitful approach to studying this process is to record
from neurons using patch-clamp electrodes, fill the recorded neurons
with a substance that allows subsequent staining, reconstruct the
three-dimensional architectures of the dendrites, and use the resulting
functional and structural data to develop computer models of dendritic
integration. Accurately producing quantitative reconstructions of
dendrites is typically a tedious process taking many hours of manual
inspection and measurement. Here we present ShuTu, a new software
package that facilitates accurate and efficient reconstruction of
dendrites imaged using bright-field microscopy. The program operates in
two steps: (1) automated identification of dendritic processes, and (2)
manual correction of errors in the automated reconstruction. This
approach allows neurons with complex dendritic morphologies to be
reconstructed rapidly and efficiently, thus facilitating the use of
computer models to study dendritic structure-function relationships and
the computations performed by single neurons.},

Abstract = {Segmenting axon and myelin from microscopic images is relevant for
studying the peripheral and central nervous system and for validating
new MRI techniques that aim at quantifying tissue microstructure. While
several software packages have been proposed, their interface is
sometimes limited and/or they are designed to work with a specific
modality (e.g., scanning electron microscopy (SEM) only). Here we
introduce AxonSeg, which allows to perform automatic axon and myelin
segmentation on histology images, and to extract relevant morphometric
information, such as axon diameter distribution, axon density and the
myelin g-ratio. AxonSeg includes a simple and intuitive MATLABbased
graphical user interface (GUI) and can easily be adapted to a variety of
imaging modalities. The main steps of AxonSeg consist of: (i) image
pre-processing; (ii) pre-segmentation of axons over a cropped image and
discriminant analysis (DA) to select the best parameters based on axon
shape and intensity information; (iii) automatic axon and myelin
segmentation over the full image; and (iv) atlas-based statistics to
extract morphometric information. Segmentation results from standard
optical microscopy (OM), SEM and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering
(CARS) microscopy are presented, along with validation against manual
segmentations. Being fully-automatic after a quick manual intervention
on a cropped image, we believe AxonSeg will be useful to researchers
interested in large throughput histology.},

Abstract = {Overtime open source software (OSS) is receiving attention from
industry. The growth rate is unprecedented. The software industry is
inclining towards adopting OSS despite concerns about the quality.
Defect management has been a key issue in OSS. Software whether it is
close or open source uses energy. Green computing argued that
environmental conditions are getting worst and use of power consumptions
should be minimized to protect the earth. A lot of work has been
reported in the area of green hardware but very little work has been
reported in making software green. The main objective this work is to
increase understanding of green software development. In this study, we
empirically investigate that whether there is relationship between
defect management in OSS and power consumption of OSS application. We
used a dataset consist of 82 OSS projects to study the research model of
this investigation. The results of this investigation show that software
defect management in OSS play a significant role in managing power
consumption of OSS applications.},

Abstract = {Open-source software (OSS) is a type of computer software wherein the
source code is distributed under a special type of licence in which the
copyright holder grants users the rights to inspect, alter, and
redistribute the software. OSS projects are collaborative endeavours
which have multiple contributors who are constantly joining, leaving, or
changing their role in the project. This ever-changing and
ever-transient nature of OSS project contributors contributes to a
contributor turnover-induced knowledge loss in OSS projects. In this
case, ``knowledge loss{''} refers to the phenomenon of the loss of
project-specific knowledge, experience, and expertise in an OSS project,
caused by contributors regularly joining and leaving the OSS project.
This paper describes the design and development of a robust research
methodology and contributes towards the formation of proactive knowledge
retention practices in OSS projects to transform contributor's use of
knowledge and engagement in knowledge-relevant activities including
knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer.},

Abstract = {Continuous integration (CI) emphasizes quick feedback to developers.
This is at odds with current practice of performance testing, which
predominantely focuses on long-running tests against entire systems in
production-like environments. Alternatively, software microbenchmarking
attempts to establish a performance baseline for small code fragments in
short time. This paper investigates the quality of microbenchmark suites
with a focus on suitability to deliver quick performance feedback and CI
integration. We study ten open-source libraries written in Java and Go
with benchmark suite sizes ranging from 16 to 983 tests, and runtimes
between 11 minutes and 8.75 hours. We show that our study subjects
include benchmarks with result variability of 50\% or higher, indicating
that not all benchmarks are useful for reliable discovery of slow-downs.
We further artificially inject actual slowdowns into public API methods
of the study subjects and test whether test suites are able to discover
them. We introduce a performance-test quality metric called the API
benchmarking score (ABS). ABS represents a benchmark suite's ability to
find slowdowns among a set of defined core API methods. Resulting
benchmarking scores (i.e., fraction of discovered slowdowns) vary
between 10\% and 100\% for the study subjects. This paper's methodology
and results can be used to (1) assess the quality of existing
microbenchmark suites, (2) select a set of tests to be run as part of
CI, and (3) suggest or generate benchmarks for currently untested parts
of an API.},

Abstract = {User forums of Open Source Software (OSS) enable end-users to
collaboratively discuss problems concerning the OSS applications.
Despite decades of research on OSS, we know very little about how
end-users engage with OSS communities on these forums, in particular,
the challenges that hinder their continuous and meaningful participation
in the OSS community. Many previous works are developer-centric and
overlook the importance of end-user forums. As a result, end-users'
expectations are seldom reflected in OSS development. To better
understand user behaviors in OSS user forums, we carried out an
empirical study analyzing about 1.3 million posts from user forums of
four popular OSS applications: Zotero, Audacity, VLC, and RStudio.
Through analyzing the contribution patterns of three common user types
(end-users, developers, and organizers), we observed that end-users not
only initiated most of the threads (above 96\% of threads in three
projects, 86\% in the other), but also acted as the significant
contributors for responding to other users' posts, even though they
tended to lack confidence in their activities as indicated by
psycho-linguistic analyses. Moreover, we found end-users more open,
reflecting a more positive emotion in communication than organizers and
developers in the forums. Our work contributes new knowledge about
end-users' activities and behaviors in OSS user forums that the vital
OSS stakeholders can leverage to improve end-user engagement in the OSS
development process.},

Abstract = {Studies on the OSS communities have shown that financial supports are
critical to OSS developers and projects to maintain their progress and
sustainability. However, there were few developers being paid directly
for maintaining OSS projects in the past. The GitHub Sponsors program
that brings financial supports to the general OSS developers in
GitHub-the world's largest OSS platform may make a difference on this
situation in the future. In this paper, we present a data set on GitHub
Sponsors and conduct a data-driven study to analyze the participants of
the program and the impact of sponsorships to developers' activities and
their projects' outcomes and qualities. The results of our survey
suggest that most developers state they will contribute more with
sponsorships and provide some privilege for their sponsors. And through
quantitative study, we find that developers make more contributions on
GitHub after they got/offered sponsorships. Moreover, gaining
sponsorship also has a weakly positive impact on developers'
collaborators that did not get sponsorship. And not only developers, but
their own or contributed projects also can be motivate by sponsorships.
Our findings are useful to the community by understanding the impact of
sponsorships on users' activities and projects' progress and
sustainability, and helping the managers to improve the current
financial support mechanism.},

Abstract = {Demand response (DR) is becoming an increasingly important part of power
grid planning and operation. The advent of the Smart Grid, which
mandates its use, further motivates selection and development of
suitable software protocols to enable DR functionality. The OpenADR
protocol has been developed and is being standardized to serve this
goal. We believe that the development of a distributable, open source
implementation of OpenADR will benefit this effort and motivate critical
evaluation of its capabilities, by the wider community, for providing
wide-scale DR services.},

Title = {A universal cross language software similarity detector for open source
software categorization},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {162},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {While there are novel approaches for detecting and categorizing similar
software applications, previous research focused on detecting similarity
in applications written in the same programming language and not on
detecting similarity in applications written in different programming
languages. Cross-language software similarity detection is inherently
more challenging due to variations in language, application structures,
support libraries used, and naming conventions. In this paper we propose
a novel model, CroLSim, to detect similar software applications across
different programming languages. We define a semantic relationship among
cross-language libraries and API methods (both local and third party)
using functional descriptions and a word-vector learning model. Our
experiments show that CroLSim can successfully detect cross-language
similar software applications, which outperforms all existing approaches
(mean average precision rate of 0.65, confidence rate of 3.6, and 75\%
highly rated successful queries). Furthermore, we applied CroLSim to a
source code repository to see whether our model can recommend
cross-language source code fragments if queried directly with source
code. From our experiments we found that CroLSim can recommend
cross-language functional similar source code when source code is
directly used as a query (average precision=0.28, recall=0.85, and
F-Measure=0.40). (C) 2019 Published by Elsevier Inc.},

Journal = {JOURNAL OF KING SAUD UNIVERSITY SCIENCE},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {35},

Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Purpose: This study was developed to create computer software for
performing the gamma index comparison between measurement and Monte
Carlo (MC) simulation for the percentage depth dose (PDD) and beam
offcenter ratio profile (OCR). Materials and methods: The gamma software
was built in the matrix laboratory (MATLAB) software environment. The
developed software was compared with ScanDosematch and Bistromath
software's gamma evaluation to assess its accuracy. A set of reference
and evaluated dose distribution, which were obtained from measurement
and MC simulation, was input to the software to calculate the 1D gamma
index using different criteria (i.e. 3\%/3 mm, 2\%/3 mm, and 2\%/2 mm).
Results: We compared the two results of gamma index at 3\%/3 mm, 2\%/3
mm, and 2\%/2 mm criteria, one calculated by the proposed software and
one manually. The comparison showed high agreement between the proposed
software and theoretical calculation. Conclusions: Based on the results,
we concluded that our developed software has high accuracy, compared to
theoretical calculation. This software could serve as a non-commercial
and open-source tool for researchers and students.},

Title = {FullControl GCode Designer: Open-source software for unconstrained
design in additive manufacturing},
Journal = {ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {46},
Month = {OCT},
Abstract = {A new concept is presented for the design of additive manufacturing
procedures, which is implemented in opensource software called
FullControl GCode Designer. In this new design approach, the user
defines every segment of the print-path along with all printing
parameters, which may be related to geometric and non-geometric factors,
at all points along the print-path. Machine control code (GCode) is
directly generated by the software, without the need for any programming
skills and without using computer-aided design (CAD), STL-files or
slicing software. Excel is used as the front end for the software, which
is written in Visual Basic. Case studies are used to demonstrate the
broad range of structures that can be designed using the software,
including: precisely controlled specimens for printer calibration,
parametric specimens for hardware characterisation utilising hundreds of
unique parameter combinations, novel mathematically defined lattice
structures, and previously inconceivable 3D geometries that are
impossible for traditional slicing software to achieve. The FullControl
design approach enables unconstrained freedom to create nonplanar 3D
print-paths and break free from traditional restrictions of layerwise
print-path planning. It also allows nozzle movements to be carefully
designed both during extrusion and while travelling between disconnected
extrusion volumes - to overcome inherent limitations of the printing
process or to improve capabilities for challenging materials. An
industrial case study shows how explicit print-path design improved
printer reliability, production time, and print quality for a production
run of over 1000 parts. FullControl GCode Designer offers a general
framework for unconstrained design and is not limited to a particular
type of structure or hardware; transferability to lasers and other
manufacturing processes is discussed. Parametric design files use a few
bytes or kilobytes of data to describe all details that are sent to the
printer, which greatly improves shareability by eliminating any risk of
errors being introduced during STL file conversion or due to different
users having inconsistent slicer settings. Adjustable parameters allow
GCode for revised designs to be produced instantly, instead of the
laborious traditional routine using multiple software packages and file
conversions. The FullControl design concept offers new opportunities for
creative and high-precision use of additive manufacturing systems. It
facilitates design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) at the smallest
possible scale based on the fundamental nature of the process (i.e.
assembly of individual extrusions). The software and source code are
provided as supplementary data and ongoing updates to improve
functionality and the user interface will be available at
www.fullcontrolgcode.com.},

Abstract = {Recent studies suggest that well-known OSS projects struggle to find the
needed workforce to continue evolving-in part because external
developers fail to overcome their first contribution barriers. In this
paper, we investigate how and why quasi-contributors (external
developers who did not succeed in getting their contributions accepted
to an OSS project) fail. To achieve our goal. we collected data from 21
popular, non-trivial GitHub projects, identified quasi-contributors, and
analyzed their pull-requests. In addition, we conducted surveys with
quasi-contributors, and project's integrators, to understand their
perceptions about nonacceptance. We found 10,099 quasi-contributors
about 70\% of the total actual contributors that submitted 12,367
nonaccepted pull-requests. In five projects, we found more
quasi-contributors than actual contributors. About one-third of the
developers who took our survey disagreed with the nonacceptance, and
around 30\% declared the nonacceptance demotivated or prevented them
from placing another pull-request. The main reasons for pull-request
nonacceptance from the quasicontributors' perspective were
``superseded/duplicated pull-request{''} and ``mismatch between
developer's and team's vision/opinion{''} A manual analysis of a
representative sample of 263 pull-requests corroborated with this
finding. We also found reasons related to the relationship with the
community and lack of experience or commitment from the
quasi-contributors. This empirical study is particularly relevant to
those interested in fostering developers' participation and retention in
OSS communities.},

Abstract = {Women are underrepresented in the IT sector. But the situation in FLOSS
(free, libre, open source software) development is really extreme in
this respect: past publications and studies show a female participation
of around 2\% to 5\% and have shed some light into this problem. In this
paper, we give an update the state of knowledge to the current situation
of gender in FLOSS, by analyzing the results of surveying more than
2,000 contributors to FLOSS projects in 2013, of which more than 200
were women. Our findings confirm that women enter the FLOSS community
later than men, do primarily other tasks than coding, participate less
if they have children, and have slightly different reasons to enter (and
to stay in) the development communities they join. However, we also find
evidence that women are joining FLOSS projects in higher numbers in
recent years, and that the share of women devoting few hours per week to
FLOSS and full-time dedication is higher than for men. All in all,
comparing our results with the ones from the 2000s, the context of
participation of women in FLOSS has not changed much.},

Volume = {14},

Abstract = {The development of knowledge requires investment, which may be made in
terms of financial resources or time. Open source software (OSS) has
challenged much of the traditional reasoning by suggesting that
individuals behave altruistically and contribute to a public good,
despite the opportunity to free-ride. The lion's share of the existing
literature on OSS examines communities, that is, those individuals whom
are already part of the OSS community. In contrast, this paper starts
from users with the requisite skill to use and develop OSS. This group
of skilled individuals could potentially invest into the development of
OSS knowledge, but they may or may not do so in actuality. This paper,
therefore, explores three issues, which have not been extensively
explored in the literature, namely, (1) how frequently a group of
skilled people use OSS, (2) reasons for differences among users and
non-users in terms of use and attitudes, and (3) how frequently, and
why, some users contribute to OSS projects (and thereby become
developers). In doing so, we consider the opportunity costs of use and
development of OSS, which has been largely neglected in the literature.
We find that the individuals have a rather pragmatic attitude to firms
and that many are active in both firms and OSS community, which raises
many questions for future research about the role and influence of firms
on the development and diffusion of OSS.},

Abstract = {Collective-action problems arise in a variety of situations. Open-source
software is a recent and important example. Copyright restrictions on
open-source projects stipulate that any user may modify the software so
long as any resulting innovation is freely available to all. In economic
parlance, the innovation is a public good. The economic theory of
public-good provision raises a number of important questions. Who
contributes to such a project, and who free rides? How might a social
planner exploit the interdependence of project components to encourage
contributions? Under what conditions will such actions result in
successful provision? Using a simple game-theoretic framework and recent
results from the study of equilibrium selection, we attempt to answer
these questions. Under reasonable assumptions of asymmetry and less than
complete information, the most efficient providers will contribute.
Contributions can be elicited by `integrating' the provision process
when providers are sufficiently optimistic about the success of the
project. Otherwise, the social planner may be better off `separating'
the components so that individual contributions are independent of each
other. The analysis yields recommendations for the leaders of
open-source projects and other similar collective-action problems.},

Abstract = {The purpose of this paper is to analyze the various features and
functions of open source software for integrated library management
system (ILMS) and digital library system. The explosion of the World
Wide Web, dynamic nature of information technologies, like open source;
and with escalation of electronics resources showed the way of Automated
Library System (ALS). These changes are replicated in the conceptual
differences between the ALS and the Integrated Library System (ILS). The
ALS is acknowledged as simply a database to house and retrieve a
library's holdings while ILS is acknowledged as robust clusters of
systems including every process and module linked to library processes.
This article presents an aspect on the evolving features of some
commonly adopted Open-Source ILS Software (Koha, NewGenLib, and
Evergreen) which had encouraged ALS to ILS, as well as justifications
and barriers to the use of open source. Open source library management
software is a solution to reducing that cost. The research describes in
brief about the feature of some of the open source digital library
software like Greenstone, DSpace E-Prints and integrated library
software Koha NewGenlib. Evergreen ILS etc., which are useful for
developing ILS and institutional repositories software in academic
libraries. Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is offered as a
balancing solution to meet librarians' objectives without giving up
excellence. The endeavor of this research is to confirm not only the
most used FOSS in libraries but also those alternatives which are not as
healthy-looking known but with great possible for the community.},

Abstract = {Current estimates suggest widespread adoption of open source software
(OSS) in organizations worldwide. However, the problematic nature of OSS
adoption is readily evidenced in the fairly frequent reports of
problems, unforeseen hold-ups, and outright abandonment of OSS
implementation over time. Beaumont Hospital, an Irish public sector
organization, have embarked on the adoption of a range of OSS
applications over several years, some of which have been successfully
deployed and remain in live use within the organisation, whereas others,
despite achieving high levels of assimilation over a number of years,
have not been ultimately retained in live use in the organization. Using
a longitudinal case study, we discuss in depth the deployment process
for two OSS applications - the desktop application suite whose
deployment was unsuccessful ultimately, and the email application which
was successfully deployed. To our knowledge, this is the first such
in-depth study into successful and unsuccessful OSS implementation.
Given that our study was a longitudinal one in a single organization, we
can control a number of potentially important influencing elements which
would not be possible if multiple organizations were involved. In
particular, the complex interaction of issues to do with voluntariness
of adoption, image, trialability and absorptive capacity were critical
influences in the process.},

the development of a method of reliability assessment for open source
project, it is necessary to grasp the deeply-intertwined factors, such
as programming path, size of each component, skill of fault reporter,
and so on. In order to consider the effect of each software component on
the reliability of an entire system under such open source software
development, we propose a new approach to software reliability
assessment by creating a fusion of neural networks and a software
reliability growth model. Also, it has been necessary to manage the
software development process in terms of reliability, effort, and
version-upgrade time. In this paper, we find the optimal total
version-upgrade time based on the total expected software maintenance
effort.},

Title = {Women's Participation in Open Source Software: A Survey of the
Literature},
Journal = {ACM TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING AND METHODOLOGY},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {31},

Month = {OCT},
Abstract = {Women are underrepresented in Open Source Software (OSS) projects, as a
result of which, not only do women lose career and skill development
opportunities, but the projects themselves suffer from a lack of
diversity of perspectives. Practitioners and researchers need to
understand more about the phenomenon; however, studies about women in
open source are spread across multiple fields, including information
systems, software engineering, and social science. This article
systematically maps, aggregates, and synthesizes the state-of-the-art on
women's participation in OSS. It focuses on women contributors'
representation and demographics, how they contribute, their motivations
and challenges, and strategies employed by communities to attract and
retain women. We identified 51 articles (published between 2000 and
2021) that investigated women's participation in OSS. We found evidence
in these papers about who are the women who contribute, what motivates
them to contribute, what types of contributions they make, challenges
they face, and strategies proposed to support their participation.
According to these studies, only about 5\% of projects were reported to
have women as core developers, and women authored less than 5\% of
pull-requests, but had similar or even higher rates of pull-request
acceptances than men. Women make both code and non-code contributions,
and their motivations to contribute include learning new skills,
altruism, reciprocity, and kinship. Challenges that women face in OSS
are mainly social, including lack of peer parity and non-inclusive
communication from a toxic culture. We found 10 strategies reported in
the literature, which we mapped to the reported challenges. Based on
these results, we provide guidelines for future research and practice.},

Abstract = {This research is one of the first few to investigate the acceptance of
open source software in the context of developing countries, in this
case Thailand. It also proposes a comprehensive model that integrates
individual, social, and software characteristics to measure the
acceptance of open source software. Based on the three-pronged approach,
the study puts forward an integrated model consisting of the extended
technology model, the innovation diffusion theory and software
characteristics. A full-scale field survey of 1,005 open source software
users was undertaken and both convergent and discriminant validities
were conducted. The results of the structural equation modeling
illustrate that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, intention
to use, output quality, compatibility, software functionality, and
software maintainability have a statistically positive relationship with
open source software acceptance. Contrary to most studies, which did not
find a positive relationship between visibility and trialability towards
the acceptance of open source software, it is interesting to observe
that this study did find a positive relationship. Conclusions and
discussions of the findings, and their academic and practical
implications are also presented.},

Abstract = {Current estimates suggest widespread adoption of open source software
(OSS) in organizations worldwide. However, the problematic nature of OSS
adoption is readily evidenced in the fairly frequent reports of
problems, unforeseen hold-ups, and outright abandonment of OSS
implementation over time. Beaumont Hospital, an Irish public sector
organization, have embarked on the adoption of a range of OSS
applications over several years, some of which have been successfully
deployed and remain in live use within the organisation, whereas others,
despite achieving high levels of assimilation over a number of years,
have not been ultimately retained in live use in the organization. Using
a longitudinal case study, we discuss in depth the deployment process
for two OSS applications - the desktop application suite whose
deployment was unsuccessful ultimately, and the email application which
was successfully deployed. To our knowledge, this is the first such
in-depth study into successful and unsuccessful OSS implementation.
Given that our study was a longitudinal one in a single organization, we
can control a number of potentially important influencing elements which
would not be possible if multiple organizations were involved. In
particular, the complex interaction of issues to do with voluntariness
of adoption, image, trialability and absorptive capacity were critical
influences in the process.},

histological images},
Journal = {BMC MEDICAL INFORMATICS AND DECISION MAKING},

Abstract = {BackgroundMultimodal histology image registration is a process that
transforms into a common coordinate system two or more images obtained
from different microscopy modalities. The combination of information
from various modalities can contribute to a comprehensive understanding
of tissue specimens, aiding in more accurate diagnoses, and improved
research insights. Multimodal image registration in histology samples
presents a significant challenge due to the inherent differences in
characteristics and the need for tailored optimization algorithms for
each modality.ResultsWe developed MMIR a cloud-based system for
multimodal histological image registration, which consists of three main
modules: a project manager, an algorithm manager, and an image
visualization system.ConclusionOur software solution aims to simplify
image registration tasks with a user-friendly approach. It facilitates
effective algorithm management, responsive web interfaces, supports
multi-resolution images, and facilitates batch image registration.
Moreover, its adaptable architecture allows for the integration of
custom algorithms, ensuring that it aligns with the specific
requirements of each modality combination. Beyond image registration,
our software enables the conversion of segmented annotations from one
modality to another.},

Abstract = {Technical debt represents unwanted issues that result from decisions
made to speed up the design or implementation of software at the expense
of resolving existing issues. Like financial debt, it consists of the
principal and an interest. Debt is usually paid back through code
rewrites, refactoring, or the introduction of test code. When unchecked,
interest can accumulate over time and lead to development crises where
focus and resources must be shifted to resolve existing debt before the
development process can be resumed. Existing software tooling allows
practitioners to quantify the level of debt and identify its sources,
allowing decision makers to measure and control it. We propose a
detailed exploration of the characteristics of source code technical
debt over the lifetime of several popular open-source applications. We
employed a SonarQube instance configured for longitudinal analysis to
study all publicly released versions of the target applications,
amounting to over 15 years' worth of releases for each. We found that a
small number of issue types were responsible for most of the debt and
observed that refactoring reduced debt levels across most application
packages. We observed increased variance in technical debt distribution
and composition in early application versions, which lessened once
applications matured. We addressed concerns regarding the accuracy of
SonarQube estimations and illustrated some of its limitations. We aim to
continue our research by including additional tools to characterize
debt, leverage existing open data sets and extend our exploration to
include additional applications and types of software.},

Abstract = {There is a need to improve fishing methods to select for certain sizes
and species while excluding others. Experiments are conducted to
quantify selectivity of fishing gears and how variables such as gear
design (e.g., mesh size, mesh shape), environmental parameters (e.g.,
light, turbidity, substrate) or biological parameters (e.g., fish
condition) alter selectivity; the resulting data need to be analyzed
using specialized statistical methods in many cases. Here, we present a
new tool for analyzing this type of data: an R package named
``selfisher{''}. It allows estimating multiple fixed effects (e.g., fish
length, total catch weight, environmental variables) and random effects
(e.g, haul). A bootstrapping procedure is also provided. We demonstrate
its use via four case studies, including (A) covered codend analyses of
four gears, (B) a paired gear study with numerous covariates, (C) a
catch comparison study of unpaired hauls of gillnets and (D) a catch
comparison study of paired hauls using polynomials and splines. This
software will make it easier to model selectivity, teach statistical
methods, and make analyses more repeatable.},

process of a thermoelectric generator. Our environment consists of the
software modules Salome Platform, Gmsh, and FEniCSx. The partial
differential equations representing the thermoelectric phenomena are
solved using the finite element method. The equations include
contributions from thermal conduction, convection, electrical
conduction, Seebeck effect, Joule heating, and Peltier effect. In
addition, parametric simulations are performed to ensure maximum power
generation when an electrical load resistor is connected to the
thermoelectric generator.},

Title = {An analysis of open source software licensing questions in Stack

Journal = {JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {183},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {Free and open source software is widely used in the creation of software
systems, whereas many organizations choose to provide their systems as
open source. Open source software carries licenses that determine the
conditions under which the original software can be used. Appropriate
use of licenses requires relevant expertise by the practitioners, and
has an important legal angle. Educators and employers need to ensure
that developers have the necessary training to understand licensing
risks and how they can be addressed. At the same time, it is important
to understand which issues practitioners face when they are using a
specific open source license, when they are developing new open source
software products or when they are reusing open source software. In this
work, we examine questions posed about open source software licensing
using data from the following Stack Exchange sites: Stack Overflow,
Software Engineering, Open Source and Law. We analyze the indication of
specific licenses and topics in the questions, investigate the attention
the posts receive and trends over time, whether appropriate answers are
provided and which type of questions are asked. Our results indicate
that practitioners need, among other, clarifications about licensing
specific software when other licenses are used, and for understanding
license content. The results of the study can be useful for educators
and employers, organizations that are authoring open source software
licenses and developers for understanding the issues faced when using
licenses, whereas they are relevant to other software engineering
research areas, such as software reusability. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All

Autoware is a popular open-source software for self-driving vehicles,
and OpenC2X is an open-source experimental and prototyping platform for
cooperative ITS. This paper reports on a system named AutoC2X to enable
cooperative perception by using OpenC2X for Autoware-based autonomous
vehicles. The developed system is evaluated by conducting field
experiments involving real hardware. The results demonstrate that
AutoC2X can deliver the cooperative perception message within 100 ms in

Results: Evolutionary-based BIClustering was applied to datasets of
different sizes, including a large DNA methylation dataset with 436 444
rows. For the largest dataset we observed over 6.6-fold speedup in
computation time on a cluster of eight GPUs compared to running the
method on a single GPU. This proves high scalability of the method.},

Abstract = {Due to various reasons such as ever increasing demands of the customer
or change in the environment or detection of a bug, changes are
incorporated in a software. This results in multiple versions or
evolving nature of a software. Identification of parts of a software
that are more prone to changes than others is one of the important
activities. Identifying change prone classes will help developers to
take focused and timely preventive actions on the classes of the
software with similar characteristics in the future releases. In this
paper, we have studied the relationship between various object oriented
(OO) metrics and change proneness. We collected a set of OO metrics and
change data of each class that appeared in two versions of an open
source dataset, `Java TreeView', i.e., version 1.1.6 and version 1.0.3.
Besides this, we have also predicted various models that can be used to
identify change prone classes, using machine learning and statistical
techniques and then compared their performance. The results are analyzed
using Area Under the Curve (AUC) obtained from Receiver Operating
Characteristics (ROC) analysis. The results show that the models
predicted using both machine learning and statistical methods
demonstrate good performance in terms of predicting change prone
classes. Based on the results, it is reasonable to claim that quality
models have a significant relevance with OO metrics and hence can be
used by researchers for early prediction of change prone classes.},

Abstract = {The literature on open-source requirements is commonly concerned either
with the processes associated with these requirements or with very
specific requirements-related aspects of open-source development. In
this study we bridge between these two approaches by exploring the
existing relationships between open-source requirements and few
characteristics of open-source projects (software quality and software
project success). First we develop a requirements-based taxonomy of
open-source projects and we discover patterns linking between this
taxonomy and project success. We also propose a classification of
requirement types based on their representativeness in open-source
projects. This highlights the overall importance of various types of
requirements in the context of open-source software development. We also
identify exceptions defined as the unusually high frequency of a
requirement type and explain them based on the specific domain addressed
within the project containing the exception. Finally, we investigate the
lifecycle of 16 open-source projects and discover and explain patterns
of evolution for a number of requirement types.},

Abstract = {The rise in UAV capabilities has significantly boosted aerial monitoring
activities in recent years. This surge in unmanned aerial vehicles has
increased attention towards monitoring tasks in vital areas, such as
urban spaces for security, surveillance or Internet of the Things
applications. In this sense, we propose an open-source
software-in-the-loop approach that integrates the complete navigation
experience, accounting for potential wind-related effects, and providing
realistic 3D modeling of scenarios encompassing open spaces in city
landscapes. Our work introduces a wind perturbation estimation strategy,
which models the wind effect as an external force along the Zaxis based
on altitude variations from real flights. Validation was conducted using
real data flights with a quadrotor aiding the navigation with Ardupilot
and QgroundControl as a ground station. To complement the experiments we
include a small test with a fixed-wing plane to asses the
software-in-the-loop accuracy on larger trajectories. Results
demonstrate successful tracking of altitude variations, yielding errors
below 10\% relative to the home position in experiments with average
trajectory lengths of 150 m in two scenarios in Quito. The
software-in-the-loop simulation aimed to replicate wind conditions
specific to the date and time of real data acquisition, providing a
platform to emulate possible improvements and assess UAV performance
before deployment in actual missions. This research not only contributes
to the optimization of monitoring capabilities but also serves as a
valuable tool for assessing UAV missions in diverse and dynamic
environments.},

Abstract = {Head-mounted eye tracking offers remarkable opportunities for research
and applications regarding pervasive health monitoring, mental state
inference, and human computer interaction in dynamic scenarios. Although
a plethora of software for the acquisition of eye-tracking data exists,
they often exhibit critical issues when pervasive eye tracking is
considered, e. g., closed source, costly eye tracker hardware
dependencies, and requiring a human supervisor for calibration. In this
paper, we introduce EyeRecToo, an open-source software for real-time
pervasive head-mounted eye-tracking. Out of the box, EyeRecToo offers
multiple real-time state-of-the-art pupil detection and gaze estimation
methods, which can be easily replaced by user implemented algorithms if
desired. A novel calibration method that allows users to calibrate the
system without the assistance of a human supervisor is also integrated.
Moreover, this software supports multiple head-mounted eye-tracking
hardware, records eye and scene videos, and stores pupil and gaze
information, which are also available as a real-time stream. Thus,
EyeRecToo serves as a framework to quickly enable pervasive eye-tracking
research and applications. Available at:

Abstract = {Tremor is an involuntary rhythmic muscle movement assessed subjectively
by specialists. To improve accuracy and mitigate bias, tremor must be
video recorded and rated by multiple experts. Existing video-based
motion tracking techniques can be applied to quantify tremor assessment;
though, such methods rely on sophisticated and expensive instrumentation
as well as specialized skin markers. This paper describes a low-cost
markerless method using accessible hardware and open-source software. In
a cohort of 8 subjects with tremor undergoing deep brain stimulation
therapy, we show our video-based technique has strong concordance (r =
0.93, p < 0.001) with expert tremor ratings. This makes it suitable for
point-of-care assessment as well as use in future structured clinical
trials.},

INNOVATION},
Journal = {INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND CONTROL},
Year = {2009},
Volume = {38},
Number = {2},
Pages = {91-101},
Abstract = {Much of the literature on open source software (OSS) has focused on the
role of the community of users and developers as the primary driver of
OSS growth. This focus on growth generated by the community is referred
to as ``single factor{''} growth and is an assumption shared by
literature on the diffusion of innovation. The purpose of this research
is to attempt to fit a logistic model to a well-known OSS project as a
confirmatory exercise supporting the use of a single factor growth model
as suggested by the literature. The results show that a logistic model,
or any kind of single factor model, is inadequate to describe the
diffusion of the OSS project. The paper then explains conceptually and
illustrates mathematically why single factor models cannot fully
represent the diffusion of any OSS project. A well-known two-factor
model drawn from the marketing literature is presented, shown to solve
the problem of single factor models, and used to illustrate the
importance of marketing in OSS projects. This research suggests that the
OSS literature may be overemphasizing the importance of the size of the
user and developer community during the initial stages of growth and
that during these stages the diffusion of the OSS project is primarily
driven by external forces such as advertising or marketing efforts.},

Abstract = {Structural reliability methods aim at the computation of failure
probabilities of structural systems with methods of statistical analysis
due to varied uncertainties occurring during their design, building or
even operating conditions. However, in the field of civil engineering,
the use of structural reliability methods unfortunately remains limited
to specific cases. Most of the software available has still a limited
range concerning wide parametric studies for analysis with reliability
methods in civil engineering. This paper describes a new open-source
software library as an effective tool for reliability analysis in civil
engineering. The goal is to facilitate the adoption of reliability
methods among engineers in practice as well as to provide an open
platform for further scientific collaboration. The new library is being
developed as a so-called ``R package{''} in open-source programming
software ``R{''}. The package is capable of carrying out systematic
parameter studies using different probabilistic reliability methods, as
FORM, SORM, Monte Carlo Simulation. Based on this, an overview on the
probabilistic reliability methods implemented in the package as well as
results of parametric studies is given. The performance of the package
will be shown with a parametric study on a practical example. Most
important results of the parametric study as well as the correctness of
different reliability methods will be described in the paper. By
describing probabilistic methods using an example in practice, engineers
can get a basic understanding behind the ideas of probability theories.
Further work will result in large parameter studies, which will support
the development of a new guideline for reliability in civil engineering.
This guideline describes techniques of code calibration as well as to
determine new partial safety factors (e.g. for non-metallic reinforced
concrete, fixing anchors, etc.). Furthermore, advanced reliability
methods (e.g. Monte Carlo with Subset Sampling) will be implemented in
the new R package.},

Volume = {30},

Pages = {291-314},
Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {The emerging work on understanding open source software has questioned
what leads to effectiveness in OSS development teams in the absence of
formal controls, and it has pointed to the importance of ideology. This
paper develops a framework of the OSS community ideology (including
specific norms, beliefs, and values) and a theoretical model to show how
adherence to components of the ideology impacts effectiveness in OSS
teams. The model is based on the idea that the tenets of the OSS
ideology motivate behaviors that enhance cognitive trust and
communication quality and encourage identification with the project
team, which enhances affective trust. Trust and communication in turn
impact OSS team effectiveness. The research considers two kinds of
effectiveness in OSS teams: the attraction and retention of developer
input and the generation of project outputs. Hypotheses regarding
antecedents to each are developed. Hypotheses are tested using survey
and objective data on OSS projects. Results support the main thesis that
OSS team members' adherence to the tenets of the OSS community ideology
impacts OSS team effectiveness and reveal that different components
impact effectiveness in different ways. Of particular interest is the
finding that adherence to some ideological components was beneficial to
the effectiveness of the team in terms of attracting and retaining
input, but detrimental to the output of the team. Theoretical and
practical implications are discussed.},

Abstract = {Rapid open-source software and hardware prototyping fueled by the
significant expansion of the development community, led to the
deployment of highly sophisticated frameworks, solutions and products.
However, as the provided open-source solutions are managed in all
aspects by their designers/engineers, they lack professional evaluation
of their security level. The absence of comprehensive security
assessment as well as a consolidated and ubiquitous roadmap for
vulnerability patching and security hardening, makes open-source
solution a risk for widespread enterprise use. This paper introduces a
security assurance approach which addresses open-source hardware and
software shortcoming in an end-to-end manner, by providing a logical
decomposition of any such module into four distinct component layers:
device, network, application and cognitive. This allows highly focused
security assessment, taking into consideration the specific
characteristics of each layer. In addition, the paper provides an
approach on how open-source solution security can be improved, through
decomposition, layered vulnerability mitigation and specialized security
hardening techniques. The proposed framework which is the main research
and innovation focus of the SecOPERA Project intends to transform an
open source solution to a protected one, as well as provide security
guarantees of its overall security status.},

Abstract = {This is a proof-of-concept study to create a four-dimensional (4-D) cine

Four-dimensional cine models allow for real-time visualization of
cardiac structures during processes such as complex congenital heart
disease. Such models can be used for patient and trainee education, and
potentially for surgical planning. Currently, 3-D printed models are
more commonly used, but they are static, showing only one selected phase
of the cardiac cycle. Second, they are limited by the selection of
clipping planes before printing. Four-dimensional segmentation and
virtual reality visualization overcome these limitations. Currently,
most of the work in virtual/augmented reality models involves the
segmentation of one cardiac phase or the use of expensive software for
multiphase segmentation. In this study, we show an approach for
multiphase cardiac segmentation as well as its display using free
open-source software and relatively inexpensive hardware.},

explored various factors that may enable OSS adoption within Australian
Public Sector (APS) organisations by interviewing those involved in
software procurement. The findings were analysed through the lens of
administrative complexity associated with OSS adoption. Success of OSS
in government agencies was found to be contingent on critical aspects
such as availability of support and maintainability of OSS products,
ability to meet organisational business needs in a cost effective
manner, economic value associated with OSS such as maintenance and
training costs, and attitude of staff toward OSS. The findings suggested
that value for money and fit for purpose criteria described in
Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines were the major enablers of OSS
adoption.},

that is, robot audition, is important in improving human-robot
interaction. The critical issue in robot audition is real-time
processing in noisy environments with high flexibility to support
various kinds of robots and hardware configurations. This paper presents
open-source robot audition software, called ``HARK{''}, which includes
sound source localization, separation, and automatic speech recognition
(ASR). Since separated sounds suffer from spectral distortion due to
separation, HARK generates a temporal-frequency map of reliability
called ``missing feature mask{''}, for features of separated sounds.
Then separated sounds are recognized by the Missing-Feature Theory (MFT)
based ASR with missing feature masks. HARK is implemented on the
middleware called ``FlowDesigner{''} to share intermediate audio data,
which provides real-time processing. HARK's performance in recognition
of noisy/simultaneous speech is shown by using three humanoid robots,
Honda ASIMO, SIG2 and Robovie with different microphone layouts.},

Title = {RhizoVision Explorer: open-source software for root image analysis and
measurement standardization},
Journal = {AOB PLANTS},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {13},
Number = {6},
Month = {SEP 13},
Abstract = {Roots are central to the function of natural and agricultural ecosystems
by driving plant acquisition of soil resources and influencing the
carbon cycle. Root characteristics like length, diameter and volume are
critical to measure to understand plant and soil functions. RhizoVision
Explorer is an open-source software designed to enable researchers
interested in roots by providing an easy-to-use interface, fast image
processing and reliable measurements. The default broken roots mode is
intended for roots sampled from pots and soil cores, washed and
typically scanned on a flatbed scanner, and provides measurements like
length, diameter and volume. The optional whole root mode for complete
root systems or root crowns provides additional measurements such as
angles, root depth and convex hull. Both modes support providing
measurements grouped by defined diameter ranges, the inclusion of
multiple regions of interest and batch analysis. RhizoVision Explorer
was successfully validated against ground truth data using a new copper
wire image set. In comparison, the current reference software, the
commercial WinRhizo (TM), drastically underestimated volume when wires
of different diameters were in the same image. Additionally,
measurements were compared with WinRhizo (TM) and IJ\_Rhizo using a
simulated root image set, showing general agreement in software
measurements, except for root volume. Finally, scanned root image sets
acquired in different labs for the crop, herbaceous and tree species
were used to compare results from RhizoVision Explorer with WinRhizo
(TM). The two software showed general agreement, except that WinRhizo
(TM) substantially underestimated root volume relative to RhizoVision
Explorer. In the current context of rapidly growing interest in root
science, RhizoVision Explorer intends to become a reference software,
improve the overall accuracy and replicability of root trait
measurements and provide a foundation for collaborative improvement and
reliable access to all.},

Abstract = {Designing and optimizing deep models require managing large datasets and
conducting carefully designed controlled experiments that depend on
large sets of hyper-parameters and problem dependent software/data
configurations. These experiments are executed by training the model
under observation with varying configurations. Since executing a typical
training run can take days even on proven acceleration fabrics such as
Graphics Processing Units (GPU), properly managing training data,
avoiding human error in configuration preparations and securing the
repeatability of the experiments are of utmost importance. In this
paper, we present two open source software tools that aim to achieve
these goals, namely, a Dataset Manager (DatumAid) tool and a Training
Automation Manager (OrchesTrain) tool. DatumAid is a software tool that
integrates with Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT) to facilitate the
management of annotated datasets. By adding additional functionality,
DatumAid allows users to filter labeled data, manipulate datasets, and
export datasets for training purposes. The tool adopts a simple code
structure while providing flexibility to users through configuration
files. OrchesTrain aims to automate model training process by
facilitating rapid preparation and training of models in the desired
style for the intended tasks. Users can seamlessly integrate their
models prepared in the PyTorch library into the system and leverage the
full capabilities of OrchesTrain. It enables the simultaneous or
separate usage of Wandb, MLflow, and TensorBoard loggers. To ensure
reproducibility of the conducted experiments, all configurations and
codes are saved to the selected logger in an appropriate structure
within a YAML file along with the serialized model files. Both software
tools are publicly available on GitHub.},

Abstract = {The eddy covariance method is regularly used for measuring gas fluxes
over agricultural fields and natural ecosystems. For many applications,
it is desirable to partition the measured fluxes into constitutive
components: the water vapor flux into transpiration and direct
evaporation components, and the carbon dioxide flux into photosynthesis
and respiration components. The flux variance similarity (FVS)
partitioning method is based on flux variance similarity relationships
and correlation analyses of high-frequency eddy covariance data (Scanlon
and Sahu, 2008; Scanlon and Kustas, 2010, 2012). The FVS method is
relatively complex computationally, and that complexity has likely been
an impediment to greater use and testing of the procedure. In this work,
we present a new algebraic solution to the key computational task in the
partitioning algorithm, which significantly simplifies the FVS method.
We also introduce Fluxpart, a free and open source Python 3 module that
implements the FVS partitioning procedure. Example flux partitioning
calculations are presented.},

Journal = {MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN CHEMISTRY},
Year = {2009},
Volume = {47},
Number = {1},
Pages = {S123-S126},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Despite the extensive use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for
metabolomics, no publicly available tools have been designed for
identifying and quantifying metabolites across multiple spectra. We
introduce here a new open source software tool, rNMR, which provides a
simple graphics-based method for visualizing, identifying, and
quantifying metabolites across multiple one- or two-dimensional NMR
spectra. rNMR differs from existing software tools for NMR spectroscopy
in that analyses are based on regions of interest (ROIs) rather than
peak lists. ROIs contain all of the underlying NMR data within
user-defined chemical shift ranges. ROIs can be inspected visually, and
they support robust quantification of NMR signals. ROI-based analyses
support simultaneous views of metabolite signals from up to hundreds of
spectra, and ROI boundaries can be adjusted dynamically to ensure that
signals corresponding to assigned atoms are analyzed consistently
throughout the dataset. We describe how rNMR greatly reduces the time
required for robust bioanalytical analysis of complex NMR data. An rNMR
analysis yields a compact and transparent way of archiving the results
from a metabolomics study so that it can be examined and evaluated by
others. The rNMR website at http://rnmr.nmrfam.wisc.edu offers
downloadable versions of rNMR for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux
platforms along with extensive help documentation, instructional videos,
and sample data. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley \& Sons, Ltd.},

Abstract = {Free, libre or open-source software (FLOSS) is nowadays produced not
only by individual benevolent developers but, in a growing proportion,
by firms that hire programmers for their own objectives of development
in open source or for contributing to open-source projects in the
context of dedicated communities. A recent literature has focused on the
question of the business models explaining how and why firms may draw
benefits from such involvement and their connected activities. They can
be considered as the building blocks of a new modus operandi of an
industry, built on an alternative approach to intellectual property
management. Its prospects will depend on both the firms' willingness to
rally and its ability to compete with the traditional `proprietary'
approach. As a matter of fact, firms' involvement in FLOSS, while
growing, remains very contrasted, depending on the nature of the
products and the characteristics of the markets. This paper asks why
for-profit firms contribute to FLOSS development and why some firms
contribute more than others. The common explanation is that FLOSS is
often a complement to proprietary software (or hardware or services)
that the for-profit firm sells at a positive price. We present an
alternative explanation based on the users' skill level. When users are
skilled, opening the software is likely to result in a better product
because the user base will contribute improvements (find bugs, write
fixes and produce new features). We introduce the concept of the
dominant user's skill and set up a theoretical model to better
understand how it may condition the nature and outcome of the
competition between a FLOSS firm and a proprietary firm. We discuss
these results in the light of stylized facts drawn from recent trends in
the software industry. European Management Review (2009) 6, 130-139.

Abstract = {Current estimates suggest widespread adoption of open source software
(OSS) in organizations worldwide. However, the problematic nature of OSS
adoption is readily evidenced in the fairly frequent reports of
problems, unforeseen hold-ups, and outright abandonment of OSS
implementation over time. Beaumont Hospital, an Irish public sector
organization, have embarked on the adoption of a range of OSS
applications over several years, some of which have been successfully
deployed and remain in live use within the organisation, whereas others,
despite achieving high levels of assimilation over a number of years,
have not been ultimately retained in live use in the organization. Using
a longitudinal case study, we discuss in depth the deployment process
for two OSS applications - the desktop application suite whose
deployment was unsuccessful ultimately, and the email application which
was successfully deployed. To our knowledge, this is the first such
in-depth study into successful and unsuccessful OSS implementation.
Given that our study was a longitudinal one in a single organization, we
can control a number of potentially important influencing elements which
would not be possible if multiple organizations were involved. In
particular, the complex interaction of issues to do with voluntariness
of adoption, image, trialability and absorptive capacity were critical
influences in the process.},

Abstract = {Digitalization and digital health are transforming research practices,
while economic growth is increasingly driven by the information commons.
In the case of biological sciences, information commons, such as public
biobanks and free/libre open source software (FLOSS), are of paramount
importance for both research and the bioeconomy. In a time of
digitalization, however, information commons are vulnerable to
violations, such as the free-rider problem, that render the commons
unsustainable. Consequently, it has been argued that the enclosure of
the informational common resources is the only means to effectively
exploit them. Given the social and economic importance of the
information commons, the new digital environment in biology and health
requires governance innovation that will regulate the social embedding
of the commons and their relationship to the free market, that is, a new
political economy is needed. In this context, the need for a core common
infrastructure, stretching from the physical to the logical and content
layer of the information environment, that will guarantee the protection
of the commons from both violations and enclosures, has been
highlighted. Focusing on the interaction between two
biological/bioinformatics commons, namely public biobanks and the FLOSS,
we have set up an ecosystem relying on a blockchain technology. The
proposed governance mechanism protects the information commons from the
free-rider problem and guarantees their sustainability without hampering
their operational framework. Our model demonstrates the interdependence
and protection of the information commons not as an abstract theoretical
exercise, but rather as a physical reality on the digital ontological
matrix.},

of value involves customers participating in the creation of product

understand what drives customers to participate in these co-creation

users enrolled in Linux forums for open-source software distributions.
The path analysis and bootstrap samples revealed that customers who
exhibit a high innate innovativeness and feel that they belong in the
online community show a greater motivation towards platform exploration
and participation in co-creation. Moreover, the effect of this synergic
interaction on their co-creation participation was partially mediated by
the normative dimension of their intrinsic motivation, while the hedonic
dimension was not a strong predictor of co-creation contributions. This
study fills the voids in the existing literature by showcasing the
relevance of personal characteristics, beyond individual motivation, in
co-creation behavior.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) is extensively utilized in industry and
government because it allows for open access to the source code and
allows for external involvement in the software development process.
There are several factors driving this movement in a government setting,
making it difficult to assess the adoption's success. Through a study of
billions of rows of GitHub activity data, this research analyzes the
production of OSS by administrations in German-speaking countries in
detail and analyses the motivating factors and challenges to OSS
adoption through a literature review. Similar studies have been
conducted in other nations, with somewhat different approaches, foci,
and different ways to identify public GitHub users as well as insiders
and outsiders of OSS projects. 16 consequences of OSS usage and
development are listed in the paper. On GitHub, we found 1021 OSS
projects run by public agencies in largly German-speaking nations. We
then compiled a list of the most popular projects based on commits and
the most active public agencies in terms of projects. The research also
finds automatic contributions by bots, which have not been taken into
account in the literature so far, and demonstrates highly substantial
positive correlations between commits, forks, and stars as proxy for the
popularity of these projects. This research introduces a new method for
identifying government organizations in OSS platforms and illuminates
the possible positive and negative effects of the public sector's
release and adoption of open source software.},

Abstract = {One opportunity for organizations to participate in open source software
(OSS) development is through organizations OSS (orgsOSS), a term we use
to describe a group of organizations that commit resources to
collectively develop OSS. This archetype of OSS development is distinct
from other types that include organizations, yet is understudied. As
organizations increasingly contribute to and rely on OSS as part of
their strategy, understanding how they can collaborate to build software
holds importance for the future of software development. This study
collects a unique dataset of development tasks from a large orgsOSS
project spanning over two years and seven releases. Building on existing
OSS research, we explore norms with respect to collaboration, i.e., how
developers assign, discuss, and complete tasks, in an orgsOSS project.
Interestingly, our analysis reveals that developers in orgsOSS do not
always adhere to ideals of widespread sharing and participation espoused
by traditional OSS, however some developer and task characteristics
helped foster these ideals. Based on these and other findings, we
develop a set of propositions and associated collaboration mechanisms
that are important to future orgsOSS and other similarly structured
software development projects.},

Title = {The Contribution of Open Source Software in Identifying Environmental
Crimes Caused by Illicit Waste Management in Urban Areas},
Journal = {URBAN SCIENCE},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {8},
Number = {1},
Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {This study focuses on the analysis, implementation and integration of
techniques and methods, also based on mathematical algorithms and
artificial intelligence (AI), to acquire knowledge of some phenomena
that produce pollution with an impact on environmental health, and which
start from illicit practices that occur in urban areas. In many urban
areas (or agroecosystems), the practice of illegal waste disposing by
commercial activities, by abandoning it in the countryside rather than
spending economic resources to ensure correct disposal, is widespread.
This causes an accumulation of waste in these areas (which can also be
protected natural areas), which are then also set on fire to reduce
their volume. Obviously, the repercussions of such actions are many. The
burning of waste releases contaminants into the environment such as
dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls and furans, and deposits other
elements on the soil, such as heavy metals, which, by leaching and
percolating, contaminate water resources such as rivers and aquifers.
The main objective is the design and implementation of monitoring
programs against specific illicit activities that take into account
territorial peculiarities. This advanced approach leverages AI and GIS
environments to interpret environmental states, providing an
understanding of ongoing phenomena. The methodology used is based on the
implementation of mathematical and AI algorithms, integrated into a GIS
environment to address even large-scale environmental issues, improving
the spatial and temporal precision of the analyses and allowing the
customization of monitoring programs in urban and peri-urban
environments based on territorial characteristics. The results of the
application of the methodology show the percentages of the different
types of waste found in the agroecosystems of the study area and the
degree of concentration, allowing the identification of similar areas
with greater criticality. Subsequently, through network and nearest
neighbour analysis, it is possible to start targeted checks.},

Title = {An open source software for fast grid-based data-mining in spatial
epidemiology (FGBASE)},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HEALTH GEOGRAPHICS},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {13},
Month = {OCT 30},
Abstract = {Background: Examining whether disease cases are clustered in space is an
important part of epidemiological research. Another important part of
spatial epidemiology is testing whether patients suffering from a
disease are more, or less, exposed to environmental factors of interest
than adequately defined controls. Both approaches involve determining
the number of cases and controls (or population at risk) in specific
zones. For cluster searches, this often must be done for millions of
different zones. Doing this by calculating distances can lead to very
lengthy computations. In this work we discuss the computational
advantages of geographical grid-based methods, and introduce an open
source software (FGBASE) which we have created for this purpose.
Methods: Geographical grids based on the Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area
projection are well suited for spatial epidemiology because they
preserve area: each cell of the grid has the same area. We describe how
data is projected onto such a grid, as well as grid-based algorithms for
spatial epidemiological data-mining. The software program (FGBASE), that
we have developed, implements these grid-based methods.
Results: The grid based algorithms perform extremely fast. This is
particularly the case for cluster searches. When applied to a cohort of
French Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) patients, as an example, the grid based
algorithms detected potential clusters in a few seconds on a modern
laptop. This compares very favorably to an equivalent cluster search
using distance calculations instead of a grid, which took over 4 hours
on the same computer. In the case study we discovered 4 potential
clusters of T1D cases near the cities of Le Havre, Dunkerque, Toulouse
and Nantes. One example of environmental analysis with our software was
to study whether a significant association could be found between
distance to vineyards with heavy pesticide. None was found. In both
examples, the software facilitates the rapid testing of hypotheses.
Conclusions: Grid-based algorithms for mining spatial epidemiological
data provide advantages in terms of computational complexity thus
improving the speed of computations. We believe that these methods and
this software tool (FGBASE) will lower the computational barriers to
entry for those performing epidemiological research.},

Abstract = {Open source software is becoming increasingly popular in organizational
environments. While prior research has explored the communal nature of
open source software development among individual users, little research
has explored whether these sharing concepts are also present in
organizational use of open source software products. This study uses a
theory integration approach to develop some initial insight into the
differences between users and non-users of open source software. This
study observed three groups of factors from six case studies of
information sharing in the context of organizational open source
software use. These factors were integrated with prior research in order
to understand the physical and managerial barriers to, and enablers of,
open source. The study proposes that open source users have more
extensive knowledge sharing and teamwork practices in place, and are
more tolerant of risk. The study also argues that open source users
depended less on external technology support services but have more
extensive information technology ( IT) support structures. Copyright (C)

Abstract = {The continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines
are widely adopted on Internet hosting platforms, such as GitHub.
However, current CI/CD pipelines suffer from malicious code and severe
vulnerabilities. Even worse, people have not been fully aware of its
attack surfaces and the corresponding impacts. Therefore, in this paper,
we conduct a large-scale measurement and a systematic analysis to reveal
the attack surfaces of the CI/CD pipeline and quantify their security
impacts. Specifically, for the measurement, we collect a data set of
320,000+ CI/CD pipeline-configured GitHub repositories and build an
analysis tool to parse the CI/CD pipelines and extract security-critical
usages. Our measurement reveals that the script runtimes are prone to
code hiding while the script usage update is not in time, giving
attackers chances to hide malicious code and exploit existing
vulnerabilities. Moreover, even the scripts from verified creators may
contain severe vulnerabilities. Besides current CI/CD ecosystem heavily
relies on several core scripts, which may lead to a single point of
failure. While the CI/CD pipelines contain sensitive
information/operations, making them the attacker's favorite targets.
Inspired by the measurement findings, we abstract the threat model and
the attack approach toward CI/CD pipelines, followed by a systematic
analysis of attack surfaces, attack strategies, and the corresponding
impacts. We further launch case studies on five attacks in real-world
CI/CD environments to validate the revealed attack surfaces. Finally, we
give suggestions on mitigating attacks on CI/CD scripts, including
securing CI/CD configurations, securing CI/CD scripts, and improving
CI/CD infrastructure.},

Title = {How do Open Source software companies respond to institutional
pressures? A business model perspective},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF ENTERPRISE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {30},
Number = {4},
Pages = {534-554},
Abstract = {Purpose - Open Source software companies (OSSCs) are confronted with
institutional pressures from Open Source software (OSS) communities.
They must find an acceptable balance between the expectations of these
communities and their own business model. However, there are still few
studies that try to analyse the OSSC business models. The purpose of
this paper is to highlight OSSC typical business models by using rich
empirical data.
Design/methodology/approach - The methodology is based on a combination
of quantitative analysis of a sample of 66 OSSCs and qualitative
analysis of three typical situations resulting from that sample.
Findings - The quantitative study enables the authors to highlight three
typical business models. The in-depth study of three typical cases
enables the authors to specify these OSSC business models. The authors
can distinguish four key dimensions: the relationship developed with the
OSS communities, the strategic manoeuvres made, the key resources and
competitive positioning.
Research limitations/implications - The results indicate that it is
possible for firms to accommodate both profit and non-profit logics
using different strategic manoeuvres to position themselves with regard
to the Open Source institutional environment. Such accommodation
requires the development of key resources and the adoption of suitable
competitive positioning. Practical implications - This study allows the
authors to highlight two main practical contributions for OSSCs'
directors. First, the different manoeuvres identified may help them to
ensure coherence between their strategic choices and the business model
chosen. Second, the results can help OSSC founders identify value
creation mechanisms more clearly by analysing four key variables.
Originality/value - This paper provides new insight about OSSCs business
models. It aggregates four dimensions that provide a more
``fine-grained{''} analysis of business models, while other studies
often emphasise one dimension (usually the regime of appropriability).},

Abstract = {We present a fairly general model in which firms are competitors in a
commercial market segment and can invest into a complementary public
good like open source software. We show that, contrary to standard
predictions, additional contribution to the public good by the
government or a new market entrant can lead to higher investments of all
incumbent firms, that is, a crowding-in effect. This result occurs if
the investment cost function is superadditive. We find that government
contribution leads to larger crowding-in effects than subsidizing market
entry if the price elasticity of demand with respect to the private good
is large relative to the one with respect to the public good. Our
results are robust to extensions in the timing and the mode of
competition. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

modification and parameters by reference are the most prevalent side
effect types. Thus, conducting accurate program analysis for many

their parallelizability to better utilize multi-core architectures)
becomes very costly or impractical to conduct. Analysis of the
historical data over a seven-year period for 10 systems show that there

software quality characteristics},
Journal = {ADVANCES IN ENGINEERING SOFTWARE},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {69},
Pages = {1-11},
Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {Currently, open source software (OSS) products have started to become
popular in the market as an alternative to traditional proprietary or
closed source software. Governments and organizations are beginning to
adopt OSS on a large scale and several governmental initiatives have
encouraged the use of OSS in the private sector. One major issue for the
government and private sector is the selection of appropriate OSS. This
paper uses new internal quality characteristics for selecting OSS that
can be added to the dimensions of DeLone and McLean information systems'
model. Through this study, the quality characteristics are organized in
a two level hierarchy, which list characteristics and
sub-characteristics that are interconnected with three main dimensions:
system quality, information quality and service quality. These
characteristic dimensions are tailored to the criteria having been built
from literature study and standard for software quality and guidelines.
This paper presents case study results of applying the proposed quality
characteristic on eight different open source software that are divided
between open source network tools and learning management systems. (C)

Abstract = {Urban building modeling tools are developing rapidly; these tools use
emerging simulation workflows for specific urban environmental design
tasks, such as assessing the impacts of energy efficiency technologies
at a district scale. However, with the emergence of new environmental
design tasks, addressing all possible use cases and tasks is challenging
and cannot be covered by a single tool. Urban-scale analysis at this
level of complexity often requires linking multiple emerging tools,
rather than using a single tool, to adequately evaluate a variety of
possible fields in urban environmental design. To achieve this, flexible
platforms are needed to support multiple input formats (e.g., geometric
and non-geometric building properties), enabling the mapping of such
inputs to underlying simulation engines.
This paper provides an overview of the open-source URBANopt Software
Development Kit (SDK) for modeling high-performance buildings and energy
systems at a district scale. URBANopt's flexible SDK is composed of
several modules that can be customized to integrate with other tools and
generate new workflows to perform urban environmental design tasks, such
as capturing interactions between individual buildings, district energy
systems, distributed energy resources, and the electric distribution
grid.
We describe the functionality of the core SDK modules in URBANopt
(called Core Gem, GeoJSON Gem, and Scenario Gem) and discuss the
flexibility of these modules as a means of integration with a variety of
tools. We also document and demonstrate technical details of writing and
combining new modules to create customized workflows. Finally, we
present a case study that uses the URBANopt SDK to model a hypothetical
mixed-use urban project and simulate various scenarios to meet district
energy performance goals.},

Title = {The State and Profile of Open Source Software Projects in health and
medical informatics},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MEDICAL INFORMATICS},
Year = {2009},
Volume = {78},
Number = {7},
Pages = {457-472},
Month = {JUL},
Abstract = {Purpose: Little has been published about the application profiles and
development patterns of open source software (OSS) in health and medical
informatics. This study explores these issues with an analysis of health
and medical informatics related OSS projects on SourceForge, a large
repository of open source projects.
Methodology: A search was conducted on the SourceForge website during
the period from May 1 to 15, 2007, to identify health and medical
informatics OSS projects. This search resulted in a sample of 174
projects. A Java-based parser was written to extract data for several of
the key variables of each project. Several visually descriptive
statistics were generated to analyze the profiles of the OSS projects.
Results: Many of the projects have sponsors, implying a growing interest
in OSS among organizations. Sponsorship, we discovered, has a
significant impact on project success metrics. Nearly two-thirds of the
projects have a restrictive license type. Restrictive licensing may
indicate tighter control over the development process. Our sample
includes a wide range of projects that are at various stages of
development (status). Projects targeted towards the advanced end user
are primarily focused on bio-informatics, data formats, database and
medical science applications.
Conclusion: We conclude that there exists an active and thriving OSS
development community that is focusing on health and medical
informatics. A wide range of OSS applications are in development, from
bio-informatics to hospital information systems. A profile of OSS in
health and medical informatics emerges that is distinct and unique to
the health care field. Future research can focus on OSS acceptance and
diffusion and impact on cost, efficiency and quality of health care. (C)

Title = {The Gaggle: An open-source software system for integrating
bioinformatics software and data sources},
Journal = {BMC BIOINFORMATICS},
Year = {2006},
Volume = {7},
Month = {MAR 28},
Abstract = {Background: Systems biologists work with many kinds of data, from many
different sources, using a variety of software tools. Each of these
tools typically excels at one type of analysis, such as of microarrays,
of metabolic networks and of predicted protein structure. A crucial
challenge is to combine the capabilities of these (and other
forthcoming) data resources and tools to create a data exploration and
analysis environment that does justice to the variety and complexity of
systems biology data sets. A solution to this problem should recognize
that data types, formats and software in this high throughput age of
biology are constantly changing.
Results: In this paper we describe the Gaggle -a simple, open-source
Java software environment that helps to solve the problem of software
and database integration. Guided by the classic software engineering
strategy of separation of concerns and a policy of semantic flexibility,
it integrates existing popular programs and web resources into a
user-friendly, easily-extended environment.
We demonstrate that four simple data types (names, matrices, networks,
and associative arrays) are sufficient to bring together diverse
databases and software. We highlight some capabilities of the Gaggle
with an exploration of Helicobacter pylori pathogenesis genes, in which
we identify a putative ricin-like protein -a discovery made possible by
simultaneous data exploration using a wide range of publicly available
data and a variety of popular bioinformatics software tools.
Conclusion: We have integrated diverse databases (for example, KEGG,
BioCyc, String) and software (Cytoscape, DataMatrixViewer, R statistical
environment, and TIGR Microarray Expression Viewer). Through this loose
coupling of diverse software and databases the Gaggle enables
simultaneous exploration of experimental data (mRNA and protein
abundance, protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions), functional
associations (operon, chromosomal proximity, phylogenetic pattern),
metabolic pathways (KEGG) and Pubmed abstracts (STRING web resource),
creating an exploratory environment useful to `web browser and
spreadsheet biologists', to statistically savvy computational
biologists, and those in between. The Gaggle uses Java RMI and Java Web
Start technologies and can be found at http:// gaggle. systemsbiology.

conducted on 19 open source systems comprising over 9.8 Million lines of

modification and parameters by reference are the most prevalent side
effect types. Thus, conducting accurate program analysis for many
adaptive changes processes (e.g., automatic parallelization to improve
their parallelizability to better utilize multi-core architectures)
becomes very costly or impractical to conduct. Analysis of the
historical data over a 7-year period for 10 systems how that there is a
relatively large percentage of affected functions over the lifetime of
the systems. The trend is flat in general, therefore posing further
problems for inter-procedural analysis.},

Abstract = {The emergence of open source software (OSS) as a form of peer production
and innovation challenges theories of organisation and strategy due to
its non-reliance on traditional governance mechanisms to organise
production. OSS requires firms to rethink the processes that facilitate
value creation and capture. The objective of this paper is to theorise
how firms create and capture value from OSS. We derive a model from
extant research and refine it through the study of three
inter-organisational networks. The findings reveal how a firm's ability
to access a value network of complementors is crucial for effective
value creation and capture. Two types of networks are evident: a
high-density network of familiar partners and a low-density network of
multiple, often unfamiliar, partners. Leveraging these networks depends
on the level of commitment, volume of knowledge exchange and the
alignment of objectives among participant firms. Effective governance is
revealed as critical for creating and capturing value within both types
of network; and depends on both formal and informal mechanisms.},

Producers and Social Welfare},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT-JIEM},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {7},
Number = {5},
Pages = {1183-1196},
Abstract = {Purpose: A growing number of commercial open source software, based on
community open source, appears in many segments of the software market.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how commercial open source
software affects the pricing (market share or profit) of proprietary
software producer, consumer surplus and social welfare.
Design/methodology: To analyze the impact of commercial open source
software on proprietary software producer, this study constructs two
vertical-differentiation models: the basic model considers proprietary
software only competing with community open source software, and its
extended one considers proprietary software competing with both
community and commercial open source software.
Findings: This study mainly finds that the presence of commercial open
source software can lead to the decrease of the software price and
profit for proprietary software producer, while the consumer surplus and
social welfare will be increased. However, it does not necessarily cause
the decline in the market share for proprietary software producer.
Originality/value: The main contribution of this study is to examine the
effect of commercial open source software on the competitive strategies
of proprietary software producer, consumer surplus and social welfare.},

Title = {Reactive transport in aquatic ecosystems: Rapid model prototyping in the
open source software R},
Journal = {ENVIRONMENTAL MODELLING \& SOFTWARE},
Year = {2012},
Volume = {32},
Pages = {49-60},
Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {The concentrations of many natural compounds are altered by chemical and
biological transformations, and physical processes such as adsorption
and transport. Their fate can be predicted using reactive transport
models that describe reaction and advective and dispersive movement of
these components in their natural environment.
Recently a number of software packages have been implemented in the open
source software R that allow one to implement reactive transport models.
Central to this is the ReacTran R-package, a comprehensive collection of
functions for modeling reactive components that may be distributed over
multiple phases, whose dynamics are coupled through biological and
geochemical reactions, and that are transported in one-, two- or
three-dimensional domains with simple geometries. Dedicated solution
methods are in R-packages deSolve and rootSolve.
The modeling packages facilitate the simulation of reaction and
transport of components for spatial scales ranging from micrometers to
kilometers and spanning multiple time-scales. As they are influenced in
similar ways, the same functions can solve biogeochemical models of the
sediment, groundwater, rivers, estuaries, lakes or water columns,
experimental setups, or even describe reaction and transport within
flat, cylindrical or spherical bodies, such as organisms, aggregates, or
the dispersion of individuals on flat surfaces and so on.
We illustrate the use of R for reactive transport modeling by three
applications spanning several orders of magnitude with respect to
spatial and temporal scales. They comprise (1) a model of an
experimental flow-through sediment reactor, where fitting so-called
breakthrough curves are used to derive sulfate reduction rates in an
estuarine sediment, (2) a conservative and reactive tracer addition
experiment in a small stream, which implements the concept of river
spiraling, and (3) a 2-D and 3-D model that describes oxygen dynamics in
the upper layers of the sediment, interspersed with several hotspots of
increased reaction intensities.
The packages ReacTran, deSolve and rootSolve are implemented in the
software R and thus available for all popular platforms (Linux, Windows,
Mac). Models implemented using this software are short and easily
readable, yet they are efficiently solved. This makes R extremely well
suited for rapid model prototyping. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

digital artefacts},
Journal = {LIBRARY HI TECH},
Year = {2010},
Volume = {28},
Number = {2},
Pages = {211-223},
Abstract = {Purpose - Free and open source software (FOSS) brings many benefits to
digital preservation; however it is not ``free{''}. If the context in
which free and open source software tools are created and employed is
examined, it becomes clear that: the sustainability of any software
(FOSS, custom or commercial) to ensure the preservation of the digital
heritage will depend on careful assessment of, and provision for, the
costs (implicit and explicit) entailed in the production and continued
employment of these tools. The purpose of this paper is to focus on FOSS
and archiving of the digital heritage.
Design/methodology/approach - Portico, a not-for-profit digital
preservation service, explores the costs of FOSS based on its
experiences as a working archive with an extremely long time horizon.
Findings - There are considerable benefits to FOSS, including its
openness and the broad-based testing of it in real-world situations.
FOSS tools can provide considerable cost savings over proprietary tools.
However, FOSS is neither free to use, nor to create, nor to maintain.
Digital preservation organizations must inventory not only the FOSS
tools in the preservation arsenal, but the network of sustaining tools
(FOSS and otherwise), documentation, and ``tribal knowledge{''} that
make these tools effectively usable. The risks to sustainability of this
network of resources must be assessed, and determine what it will cost
to keep them viable. Strategies will have to be considered and
implemented for providing the means to sustain these resources. An
engaged community of use is the best guarantor of the vitality of any
FOSS tool. As that community wanes, it becomes even more essential to
capture the significant properties and domain knowledge about that tool.
Creators of new software in the digital preservation space have a
particular obligation to provide and maintain information about the
significant properties of that software.
Originality/value - The paper shows how Portico brings its practical
experiences integrating multiple FOSS tools to bear on an analysis of
the costs to creating and maintaining these tools over the long-term.},

Abstract = {There has been considerable discussion on the possible impacts of open

that analyzing data from source code repositories is an efficient way to
gather information about project characteristics and programmers,
showing that OSS projects are very heterogeneous in their team
structures and software processes. However, one problem is that the
resulting process metrics measuring attributes of the development
process and of the development environment do not give any hints about
the quality, complexity, or structure of the resulting software.
Therefore, we expanded the analysis by calculating several product
metrics, most of them specifically tailored to object-oriented software.
We then analyzed the relationship between these product metrics and
process metrics derived from a CVS repository. The aim was to establish
whether different variants of open source development processes have a
significant impact on the resulting software products. In particular we
analyzed the impact on quality and design associated with the numbers of
contributors and the amount of their work, rising the GINI coefficient
as a measure of inequality within the developer group.},

Abstract = {In this paper we apply the social network concept of core-periphery

emerging coordination problems in Open Source projects. With the help of
our tool and method called TESNA, we demonstrate a method to monitor the
socio-technical core-periphery movement in Open Source projects. We then
study the impact of different core-periphery movements on Open Source
projects. We conclude that a steady core-periphery shift towards the
core is beneficial to the project, whereas shifts away from the core are
clearly not good. Furthermore, oscillatory shifts towards and away from
the core can be considered as an indication of the instability of the
project. Such an analysis can provide developers with a good insight
into the health of an Open Source project. Researchers can gain from the
pattern theory, and from the method we use to study the core-periphery
movements. Journal of Information Technology (2010) 25, 216-229.

recognized by Higher Education Commission (HEC) in Islamabad, 17 (public
and private) have developed IRs. Currently, university libraries that
have fully implemented the IRs are less as compared with those
universities that have partially implemented IR software. However, a
good number of university libraries are in the process to develop IRs.
Free and open-source software is being used mostly in libraries as
compared with in-house developed, locally developed or commercial
software. The opinion of librarians about using IR software expressed a
positive attitude of librarians. Some of the major challenges
encountered by the librarians in using open-source IR software include
selection of suitable software and materials for digitization, lack of
cooperation from the parent organization, inadequate training
opportunities and lack of skilled staff. Research
limitations/implications This study is geographically limited to the
university libraries in Islamabad. Practical implications This study
will encourage the Pakistani LIS professionals to use open-source
software for the development of IRs in their libraries.
Originality/value This study concludes that the development of IRs in
university libraries is a need of the hour. Although the launching of
IRs requires certain skills and competencies, Pakistani librarians can
overcome these challenges by mastering the ICT skills.},

Abstract = {This study critically investigates the main characteristics and features
of anti-filtering packages provided by Free and Open Source Software
(FOSS). For over a decade, the digital communities around the globe have
used FOSS packages not only as an inexpensive way to access to
information available on Internet, but also to disseminate thoughts,
opinions and concerns about various socio-political and economic
matters. Proxy servers and FOSS played a vital role in helping citizens
in repressed countries to bypass the state imposed Internet content
filtering and censorship practices. On the one hand, proxy servers act
as redirectors to websites, and on the other hand, many of these servers
are the main source for downloading FOSS anti-filtering software
packages. These packages can provide secure web surfing via anonymous
web access, data encryption. IP address masking, location concealment,
browser history and cookie clean-ups but they also provide proxy
software updates as well as domain name updates.
The main objectives of this study are to investigate the role of FOSS
packages in combating Internet content filtering and censorship and
empowering citizens to effectively participate in communication
discourse. By evaluating some of the well known FOSS anti-filtering
packages used by Iran's digital community, this study found that despite
the success of FOSS in combating filtering and state censorship, the
majority of these software packages were not designed to meet the needs
of Internet users. In particular, they are poorly adapted to the slow
Internet connections in many developing countries such as Iran. In
addition, these software packages do not meet the level of
sophistication used by authorities to filter the content of the Net.
Therefore, this study offers a new model that takes into account not
only the existing level of the Internet infrastructure but also the
growing number of Internet users demanding more effective FOSS packages
for faster access to uncensored information while maintaining anonymity.

development has attracted many research interests. Examining what
motivate participants to be involved in OSS projects is one of the
recently heated research areas. This study is motivated by the
significance but lacking evidence on how personality traits may affect
participants' task effort on OSS projects. In particular, we investigate
how personality traits namely psychological needs for autonomy and
competence, and one's altruism interact with motivations. Following
Self-Determination Theory, we differentiate types of motivation in OSS
communities. In addition, drawing upon the Affective Event theory, we
submit that personality traits moderate the relationships between task
effort and both external and identified motivations. The research model
is largely supported by data from 204 participants in various OSS
projects. Theoretical contributions and practical implications are
discussed.},

conducted on 19 open source systems comprising over 9.8 Million lines of
code (MLOC). Each system is analyzed and the number of function side
effects is determined. The results show that global variables
modification and parameters by reference are the most prevalent side
effect types. Thus, conducting accurate program analysis or many
adaptive changes processes (e.g., automatic parallelization to improve
their parallelizability to better utilize multi-core architectures)
becomes very costly or impractical to conduct. Analysis of the
historical data over a 7-year period for 10 systems shows that there is
a relatively large percentage of affected functions over the lifetime of
the systems although trend is flat in general, thus posing further
problems for inter-procedural analysis.},

From Developers' Perspective},
Journal = {IEEE ACCESS},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {11},
Pages = {63333-63350},
Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) has achieved popularity, however there are
various software product quality problems, security issues and certain
challenges confronting the OSS growth that need to be identified and
addressed. The main focus of this research is to identify the risk
factors associated with open-source software and the practices for those
risks which will help software development companies and individuals to
mitigate the risks. A systematic literature review (SLR) is employed for
the identification of potential risk factors in OSS whereas
questionnaire survey is used to validate the findings of the SLR from
the relevant expert community. In the second round another SLR is
carried out to identify the practices for softening the effect of
risk-factors in OSS development. A total of 14 risk factors from the
developers' perspective are identified via SLR in OSS. Amid the risk
factors identified bugs, insufficient product documentation, and lack of
communication and coordination among developers are considered the most
important Further, we performed a secondary SLR to identify the
practices for mitigating the effects of the risk factors in OSS.
Therefore, a total of 31 practices for mitigating and addressing the
risk factors in OSS were identified. In this work, we identified 14 risk
factors and 31 practices for mitigating the critical risk factors,
through SLR for adapting OSS development from developers' perspectives.
We argue that focusing on the identified risk factors would minimize the
risks associated with OSS. We also recommend that OSS developers should
diligently consider all the risk factors that have been identified in
the study for increased software productivity and distribution of
reliable and robust source code.},

Abstract = {``Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM,{''} was a widely used cliche in
the 1970s in the corporate IT (information technology) world. Since
then, the traditional process of purchasing software has dramatically
changed, challenged by the advent of open source software (OSS). Since
its inception in the 1980s, OSS has matured, grown, and become one of
the important driving forces of the enterprise ecosystem. However, it
has also brought important IT security risks that are impacting the OSS
IT adoption decision-making process. The recent Heartbleed bug
demonstrated the grandeur of the issue. While much of the noise relates
to the amplification of perceived risks by the popular mass media
coverage, the effect is that many enterprises, mainly for risk reasons,
have still chosen not to adopt OSS. We investigated ``how do information
security related characteristics of OSS affect the risk perception and
adoption decision of OSS{''} by conducting an online survey of 188 IT
decision-makers. The proposed Open Source Risk Adoption Model offers
novel insights on the importance of the perceived risk antecedents. Our
research brings new theoretical contributions, such as understanding the
perceived IT security risk (PISR) relationship with adoption intention
(AI) in the OSS context, for researchers and important insights for IT
information professionals. We have found that IT security risk has a
significant role in OSS adoption intention. Our results offer possible
future research directions and extend existing theoretical understanding
of OSS adoption.},

Abstract = {Tissue engineering represents a new field aiming at developing
biological substitutes to restore, maintain, or improve tissue
functions. In this approach, scaffolds provide a temporary mechanical
and vascular support for tissue regeneration while tissue in-growth is
being formed. The design of optimized scaffolds for tissue engineering
is a key topic of research, as the complex macro-and micro-architectures
required for a scaffold depends on the mechanical properties, and the
physical and molecular stimulations of the surrounding tissue at the
defect site. One way to achieve such designs is to create a library of
unit cells ( the scaffold is assumed to be a repeating, tessellating
unit structure), which can be assembled through specific computational
tools proposed by several authors. In this research work, an open source
software tool for the design of scaffolds is presented. (C) 2014 The

Abstract = {Computational research and data analytics increasingly relies on complex
ecosystems of open source software (OSS) ``libraries{''} - curated
collections of reusable code that programmers import to perform a
specific task. Software documentation for these libraries is crucial in
helping programmers/analysts know what libraries are available and how
to use them. Yet documentation for open source software libraries is
widely considered low-quality. This article is a collaboration between
CSCW researchers and contributors to data analytics OSS libraries, based
on ethnographic fieldwork and qualitative interviews. We examine several
issues around the formats, practices, and challenges around
documentation in these largely volunteer-based projects. There are many
different kinds and formats of documentation that exist around such
libraries, which play a variety of educational, promotional, and
organizational roles. The work behind documentation is similarly
multifaceted, including writing, reviewing, maintaining, and organizing
documentation. Different aspects of documentation work require
contributors to have different sets of skills and overcome various
social and technical barriers. Finally, most of our interviewees do not
report high levels of intrinsic enjoyment for doing documentation work
(compared to writing code). Their motivation is affected by personal and
project-specific factors, such as the perceived level of credit for
doing documentation work versus more `technical' tasks like adding new
features or fixing bugs. In studying documentation work for data
analytics OSS libraries, we gain a new window into the changing
practices of data-intensive research, as well as help practitioners
better understand how to support this often invisible and
infrastructural work in their projects.},

In the growing phase, we found some characteristic patterns between the
number of agents and the produced projects. By such observations, we
developed a simulation model of performing the growing process of

relatively new software development and distribution model which offers
advantages over current practices. Its viability depends on the precise

personal attributes and behavioral patterns among free/fibre and
open-source (FLOSS) developers, especially those involved in
community-based production, and considers the bearing of its findings on
the existing literature and the future directions for research.
Respondents to an extensive web-survey's (FLOSS-US 2003) questions about
their reasons for beginning to work FLOSS are classified according to
their distinct ``motivational profiles{''} by hierarchical cluster
analysis. Over half of them also are matched to projects of known
membership sizes, revealing that although some members from each of the
clusters are present in the small, medium and large ranges of the
distribution of project sizes, the mixing fractions for the large and
the very small project ranges are statistically different. Among
developers who changed projects, there is a discernable flow from the
bottom toward the very small towards to large projects. some of which is
motivated by individuals seeking to improve their programming skills. It
is found that the profile of early motivation, along with other
individual attributes, significantly affects individual developers'
selections of projects from different regions of the size range. (C)

with digital elevation maps, are limited by their dependence on human
input and pre-existing space infrastructure. This paper outlines and
characterizes a global position determination algorithm intended for
planetary surface vehicles in GPS-denied environments without any prior
knowledge. The localization algorithm receives images of the stars from
a visible camera and tilt measurements from an inclinometer, derives
star locations and a gravity vector, and combines these signals to
generate an onboard position determinant. This paper contributes (i) the
first open-source planetary global localization algorithm based on
stars, (ii) a sensor suite design derived of solely
commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components, and (iii) an unprecedented
physical experiment and characterization from this algorithm on Earth's
surface. The resulting position determinant is on average 100km from the
testing location, consistent across various time and surface inclines.
This result is compared to theoretical performance, state-of-the-art
sensor performance, and other global localization methods. This achieved
determinant error offers a starting point toward localization
improvement with more capable sensors and the incorporation of multiple
historical determinants for state estimation.},

Abstract = {Popularity of open source software (OSS) projects has spiked an interest
in the requirements engineering (RE) practices of such communities that
are starkly different from those in traditional software development
projects. Past work has focused on characterizing the main differences
between OSS and traditional forms of software RE. In this effort we
focus on differences in RE activity in OSS. RE is characterized as a
socio-technical distributed cognitive (DCog) activity where multiple
actors deploy artifacts to `compute' requirements. To uncover how OSS
projects configure the socio-technical distribution of cognitive
processes to respond to varying attributes of incoming requirements we
conduct a comparative analysis of four successful OSS projects. We
observe that the volume of requirements faced by an OSS group dictates
largely the nature of its social formation while the volatility
experienced in the requirements dictates the overlap the project
exhibits with the larger external community. Finally the velocity of
change in technological requirements influence the project's
documentation practices of requirements with the level of design
consistency desired in the end product influencing the decision-making
channels used in the development endeavor.},

Title = {The impacts of lockdown on open source software contributions during the
COVID-19 pandemic},
Journal = {RESEARCH POLICY},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {52},
Number = {10},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {The COVID-19 pandemic instigated widespread lockdowns, compelling
millions to transition to work-from-home (WFH) arrangements and rely
heavily on computer-mediated communications (CMC) for collaboration.
This study examines the impacts of lockdown on innovation-driven work
productivity, focusing on contributions to open source software (OSS)
projects on GitHub, the world's largest OSS platform. By leveraging two
lockdowns in China as natural experiments, we discover that developers
in the 2021 Xi'an lockdown increased OSS contributions by 9.0 \%, while
those in the 2020 Wuhan lockdown reduced their contributions by 10.5 \%.
A subsequent survey study elucidates this divergence, uncovering an
adaptation effect wherein Xi'an developers became more accustomed to the
new norm of WFH over time, capitalizing on the flexibility and
opportunities of remote work. Moreover, our findings across both
lockdowns reveal that the lack of face-to-face (F2F) interactions
significantly impeded OSS contributions, whereas the increased available
time at home positively influenced them. This finding is especially
noteworthy as it challenges the assumption that CMC can effortlessly
substitute for F2F interactions without negatively affecting
productivity. We further examine the impacts of stay-at-home orders in
the United States (US) on OSS contributions and find no significant
effects. Collectively, our research offers valuable insights into the
multifaceted impacts of lockdown on productivity, shedding light on how
individuals adapt to remote work norms during protracted disruptions
like a pandemic. These insights provide various stakeholders, including
individuals, organizations, and policymakers, with vital knowledge to
prepare for future disruptions, foster sustainable resilience, and
adeptly navigate the evolving landscape of remote work in a postpandemic
world.},

Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {Protected agriculture has emerged as a key solution to address the
pressing issue of food scarcity. To enhance crop yield, environmental
regulation techniques have been widely employed in protected production.
However, the absence of user-friendly, data-driven tools for developing
regulation models remains a challenge. This study aims to propose IPECM,
an independent and user-friendly software platform for processing and
analyzing crop photosynthetic rate (Pn) data and formulating
environmental regulation targets. The platform provides functionalities,
such as Pn prediction model development, environmental regulation model
development and result visualization, supporting various machine
learning algorithms and regulation target obtaining algorithms. The
IPECM Platform's application is demonstrated through examples of light
intensity regulation for cucumber growth and CO2 concentration
regulation for tomato growth. The results showcase the software's
ability to handle photosynthetic data of any dimension, with the
established Pn prediction model achieving a coefficient of determination
of 0.98 and a root mean square error lower than 1 mu mol center dot
m(-2)center dot s (-1). The established regulation models can achieve
maximum Pn or optimal energy utilization efficiency according to user
requirements. IPECM Platform is an independent, automated, and
open-source software for protected environmental regulation modeling,
providing both the modeling process and results visualization. It offers
valuable services for protected agriculture research, eliminating the
need for programming knowledge.},

Anyone can access the products of OSS projects. It is expected that the
quality of products could be higher than those developed by conventional
methods, as more people access OSS products and the chance to find
defect could be larger. However, there are no established methods for
the evaluation of OSS, neither actual terms of the evaluation of OSS. We

Abstract = {Improved performance of database systems has enabled faster SQL querying
and more complex data processing. However, as the data becomes more
complex and larger, SQL data processing becomes more difficult and
costly. Typical problems include changing SQL queries and data schema
resolution in complex dependencies by hand. In addition, human errors
can lead to complex cyclic dependency problems. To mitigate these
problems, we developed AlphaSQL: an open-source software tool for SQL
data processing. AlphaSQL mainly supports three techniques to automate
data preparation by SQL: (1) extracting a directed acyclic graph (DAG)
based on dependencies between SQL and data, (2) validating the schema
included in the whole DAG, and (3) parallelizing the queries based on
the DAG.
We applied AlphaSQL to a real-world data analysis and machine learning
project where we analyzed 1445 logs obtained from static validation for
git commits and 3243 execution logs. Our analysis showed that AlphaSQL
detected various errors with high precision and recall, part of which
existing tools could not catch (e.g., missing resources and schema
mismatches). AlphaSQL would enable more maintainable data management
using SQL.},

Abstract = {The development and training of deep learning models have become
increasingly costly and complex. Consequently, software engineers are
adopting pre-trained models (PTMs) for their downstream applications.
The dynamics of the PTM supply chain remain largely unexplored,
signaling a clear need for structured datasets that document not only
the metadata but also the subsequent applications of these models.
Without such data, the MSR community cannot comprehensively understand
the impact of PTM adoption and reuse.
This paper presents the PeaTMOSS dataset, which comprises metadata for
281,638 PTMs and detailed snapshots for all PTMs with over 50 monthly
downloads (14,296 PTMs), along with 28,575 open-source software
repositories from GitHub that utilize these models. Additionally, the
dataset includes 44,337 mappings from 15,129 downstream GitHub
repositories to the 2,530 PTMs they use. To enhance the dataset's
comprehensiveness, we developed prompts for a large language model to
automatically extract model metadata, including the model's training
datasets, parameters, and evaluation metrics. Our analysis of this
dataset provides the first summary statistics for the PTM supply chain,
showing the trend of PTM development and common shortcomings of PTM
package documentation. Our example application reveals inconsistencies
in software licenses across PTMs and their dependent projects. PeaTMOSS
lays the foundation for future research, offering rich opportunities to
investigate the PTM supply chain. We outline mining opportunities on
PTMs, their downstream usage, and crosscutting questions. Our artifact

Abstract = {An empirical study is presented that examines the potential to
parallelize general-purpose software systems. The study is conducted on
13 open source systems comprising over 14 MLOC. Each for-loop is
statically analyzed to determine if it can be parallelized or not. A
for-loop that can be parallelized is termed a free-loop. Free-loops can
be easily parallelized using tools such as OpenMP. For the loops that
cannot be parallelized, the various inhibitors to parallelization are
determined and tabulated. The data shows that the most prevalent
inhibitor by far, is functions called within for-loops that have side
effects. This single inhibitor poses the greatest challenge in adapting
and re-engineering systems to better utilize modern multi-core
architectures. This fact is somewhat contradictory to the literature,
which is primarily focused on the removal of data dependencies within
loops. Results of this paper also show that function calls via function
pointers and virtual methods have very little impact on the for-loop
parallelization process. Historical data over a 10-year period of
inhibitor counts for the set of systems studied is also presented. It
shows that there is little change in the potential for parallelization
of loops over time.},

that help managing the complexity of the distribution both in terms of
administration and fault tolerance. The idea is to use WADE as a mean to
gather critical information on the opportunity of approaching OS as a
strategic mean toward the development of always more important
application in Operating Support System for TI, possibly also involving
other great Telco Players For this reason great care is being paid in
setting up the Community environment and in deciding which metrics are
to be extracted from it, since the result will be the input for a
strategic decision in TI.},

Abstract = {Adopting third-party software is becoming an economical and strategic
need for today organizations. A fundamental part of its successful
adoption is the informed selection of products that best fit the
organization needs. One of the main current problems hampering
selection, specially of OSS products is the vast amount of unstructured,
incomplete, evolvable and widespread information about products that
highly increases the risks of taking a wrong decision. In this paper, we
aim to inform and provide evidence to OSS communities that help them to
envisage improvements on their information rendering strategies to
satisfy industrial OSS selectors' needs. Our results are from the
matching between the informational needs of 23 OSS selectors from
diverse software-intensive organizations, and the in-depth study of 9
OSS communities of different sizes and domains. The results evidenced
specific areas of improvement that might help to enhance the industrial
OSS selection practice.},

Abstract = {Knowledge is an obtainable, renewable, dynamic, context-dependent
resource that is capable of providing competitive advantage in
organizations. Knowledge can be shared, and the knowledge sharing cycle
has two processes: knowledge donation, when a person voluntarily offers
his intellectual capital to others, and knowledge collection, when a
person consults other people's intellectual capital. Knowledge sharing
is important for, among other reasons, improving organizational
learning, innovative capacity, organizational success and productivity.
Knowledge can be shared among individuals, groups and organizations. One
kind of group organized to share knowledge is the community of practice,
where people have mutual relationships involving a regular flow of
knowledge between them, which facilitates the generation of new
knowledge. A free software community is a type of community of practice
arranged around a specific free software. The knowledge shared in free
software communities is complex and the knowledge sharing processes have
scarcely been studied in this environment. This investigation aims to
identify the profiles of knowledge sharing processes in free software
communities i.e., whether members of free software communities collect
more, donate more or collect and donate equally. To accomplish this
objective, a survey method was adopted, with 260 respondents belonging
to free software communities. Cluster analysis was used to interpret the
data. Four clusters, corresponding to the sharing profiles of the
respondents, were identified: Sporadic Sharer (low donation and low
collection); Collector (low donation and high collection); Donator (high
donation and low collection); and Constant Sharer (high donation and
high collection). The k-means algorithm showed four well-defined
clusters. Interestingly, with the exception of the Sporadic Sharer, all
the clusters presented high values of both collection and donation,
including the Donators (that emphasize donation) and Collectors (that
emphasize collection). These results confirm the view of free software
communities as communities of practice that are organized to share
knowledge, and highlight the importance of knowledge sharing and
collaboration in the free software development cycle. Furthermore, the
results show that the Constant Sharer (that both collects and donates
intensely) is the profile that donates and collects more, even more than
Donators and Collectors, indicating that this profile is key to the
correct functioning of the community.},

Title = {Open-source Software Sustainability Models: Initial White Paper From the
Informatics Technology for Cancer Research Sustainability and Industry
Partnership Working Group},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF MEDICAL INTERNET RESEARCH},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {23},
Number = {12},
Month = {DEC 2},
Abstract = {Background: The National Cancer Institute Informatics Technology for
Cancer Research (ITCR) program provides a series of funding mechanisms
to create an ecosystem of open-source software (OSS) that serves the
needs of cancer research. As the ITCR ecosystem substantially grows, it
faces the challenge of the long-term sustainability of the software
being developed by ITCR grantees. To address this challenge, the ITCR
sustainability and industry partnership working group (SIP-WG) was
convened in 2019.
Objective: The charter of the SIP-WG is to investigate options to
enhance the long-term sustainability of the OSS being developed by ITCR,
in part by developing a collection of business model archetypes that can
serve as sustainability plans for ITCR OSS development initiatives. The
working group assembled models from the ITCR program, from other
studies, and from the engagement of its extensive network of
relationships with other organizations (eg, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative,
Open Source Initiative, and Software Sustainability Institute) in
support of this objective.
Methods: This paper reviews the existing sustainability models and
describes 10 OSS use cases disseminated by the SIP-WG and others,
including 3D Slicer, Bioconductor, Cytoscape, Globus, i2b2 (Informatics
for Integrating Biology and the Bedside) and tranSMART, Insight Toolkit,
Linux, Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics tools, R, and
REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture), in 10 sustainability aspects:
governance, documentation, code quality, support, ecosystem
collaboration, security, legal, finance, marketing, and dependency
hygiene.
Results: Information available to the public reveals that all 10 OSS
have effective governance, comprehensive documentation, high code
quality, reliable dependency hygiene, strong user and developer support,
and active marketing. These OSS include a variety of licensing models
(eg, general public license version 2, general public license version 3,
Berkeley Software Distribution, and Apache 3) and financial models (eg,
federal research funding, industry and membership support, and
commercial support). However, detailed information on ecosystem
collaboration and security is not publicly provided by most OSS.
Conclusions: We recommend 6 essential attributes for research software:
alignment with unmet scientific needs, a dedicated development team, a
vibrant user community, a feasible licensing model, a sustainable
financial model, and effective product management. We also stress
important actions to be considered in future ITCR activities that
involve the discussion of the sustainability and licensing models for
ITCR OSS, the establishment of a central library, the allocation of
consulting resources to code quality control, ecosystem collaboration,
security, and dependency hygiene.},

Year = {2021},
Volume = {76},
Number = {2},
Pages = {192-222},

Abstract = {This essay argues that George Eliot's expansive use of landscape
description in The Mill on the Floss (1860) represents an engagement
with the emerging concept of a biological ``medium{''} or
``environment{''} in the nineteenth-century sciences. In the 1850s,
scientific writers including Auguste Comte, Herbert Spencer, and G. H.
Lewes redefined biological life as dependent on an abstraction called a
``medium{''} or ``environment{''}- a term that united all the objects,
substances, and forces in an organism's physical surroundings into a
singular entity. Eliot in The Mill on the Floss draws out the ecological
potential of this new biological concept by imbuing the described
backgrounds of her novel with a lyrical affect I call ``environmental
desire,{''} a diffuse longing for ambient contact with one's formative
medium that offers an ethical alternative to the possessive and
object-driven forms of desire that drive the plot of a traditional
Bildungsroman. Maggie Tulliver's marriage plot is structured by a
tension between environmental desire and possessive desire, in which her
erotic desire for Stephen Guest competes with a more diffuse
environmental desire that attaches to the novel's described backgrounds.
Ultimately, the new environment concept enables Eliot to reconceive the
Bildungsroman's usual opposition between self and world as a
relationship of nourishment and dependency rather than struggle, and
invites a reconsideration of the ecological role of description in the
Bildungsroman genre.},

Title = {Code comment generation based on graph neural network enhanced
transformer model for code understanding in open-source software
ecosystems},
Journal = {AUTOMATED SOFTWARE ENGINEERING},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {29},
Number = {2},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {In open-source software ecosystems, the scale of source code is getting
larger and larger, and developers often use various methods (good code
comments or method names, etc.) to make the code easier to read and
understand. However, high-quality code comments or method names are
often unavailable due to tight project schedules or other reasons in
open-source software ecosystems such as Github. Therefore, in this work,
we try to use deep learning models to generate appropriate code comments
or method names to help software development and maintenance, which
requires a non-trivial understanding of the code. Therefore, we propose
a Graph neural network enhanced Transformer model (GTrans for short) to
learn code representation to understand code better. Specifically,
GTrans learns code representation from code sequences and graphs. We use
a Transformer encoder to capture the global representation from code
sequence and a graph neural network (GNN) encoder to focus on the local
details in the code graph, and then use a decoder to combine both global
and local representations by attention mechanism. We use three public
datasets collected from GitHub to evaluate our model. In an extensive
evaluation, we show that GTrans outperforms the state-of-the-art models
up to 3.8\% increase in METEOR metrics on code comment generation and
outperforms the state-of-the-art models by margins of 5.8\%-9.4\% in
ROUGE metrics on method name generation after some adjustments on the
structure. Empirically, we find the method name generation task depends
on more local information than global, and the code comment generation
task is in contrast. Our data and code are available at
https://github.com/zc-work/GTrans.},

Status, problems and measures used in libraries of Beijing, China},
Journal = {GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE MEMORY AND COMMUNICATION},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {67},

Pages = {180-192},
Abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore the professional
opinion of LIS with reference to open source software (OSS) adoption,
status, problems and future measures in research and academic libraries
of Beijing, China.
Design/methodology/approach - Data were collected using a structured
questionnaire, and semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted
among 20 academic and 20 research libraries in Beijing, China. The
convenient sampling technique was used to collect data. The data
collected were interpreted using descriptive statistics and independent
t-test.
Findings - The results reveal that Chinese research and academics
libraries depend mostly upon commercial software and place a great deal
of trust on locally produced free software. This situation may be caused
due to the lack of professional knowledge in OSS and lack of appropriate
technical expertise. Although there were a sufficient number of
librarians who have shown interest in OSS, they did not enthusiastically
agree to implement it in their libraries. Furthermore, the interviews
highlighted the professionals' opinion that most librarians are
reluctant to adopt OSS due to the risk factor, lack of professional
expertise, insufficient interest of the Chinese Government and lack of
professional training.
Originality/value - The findings are useful for the Chinese LIS
community, software developers, technology administrators and library
administrators. In particular, it is beneficial for research and
academic libraries of China to adapt OSS for library management and
provide better library services and sources to their library users.},

existential question of all ``whether a reported bug will be fixed or

study on four open source projects to examine the factors that influence
the likelihood of a bug getting fixed or not. Overall, our study can be
contextualized as a conceptual replication of a previous study on
Microsoft systems from a commercial domain. The similarities and
differences in terms of the design, execution, and results between the
two studies are discussed. It was observed from these systems that the
reputations of the reporter and assigned developer to fix it, and the
number of comments on a bug have the most substantial impact on its
probability to get fixed. Moreover, we formulated a predictive model
from features available as soon as a bug is reported to estimate whether
it will be fixed or not. Intra and inter (cross) project validations
were performed. Precision and Recall metrics were used to assess the
predictive model. Their values were recorded in the 60\% to 70\% range.},

Abstract = {Software supply chain security has now become a critical concern in the
software industry (and beyond) following the large impact of recent
attacks: hackers injected malicious code into Solarwinds components and
Octopus scanner, which eventually infected a wide range of downstream
dependencies, affecting a massive number of users. Since supply chain
vulnerabilities are a well-known concern, especially with open source
systems, approaches in the literature mainly focus on identifying and
patching such vulnerability. Frequently, however, a vulnerability patch
is not immediately propagated to earlier releases that have been
inherited by dependents, leaving residual vulnerabilities in supply
chains. Our work addresses this challenge and develops a simple approach
to iteratively explore the attack surface of supply chain residual
vulnerabilities in open source projects. We have assessed our search
scheme on 50 GitHub-hosted projects having high stars and forks: we mine
their bug fix commits and identify buggy package versions to track the
affected dependents and estimate the potential attack surface. We find
that many projects fix their vulnerable issues by update their
dependency versions, and version inheritance is a significant cause of
supply chain attacks for open source projects.},

Abstract = {In order to be effective, machine learning must operate on problems of
scale, requiring suitably large data and computing resources.
HPC clusters based on open source software and consumer grade hardware
have enabled a new generation of extremely computationally demanding
research based on deep learning and big data.
In this poster we discuss the Neuronix cluster, an implementation of the
HPC cluster concept that provides an unprecedented price/performance
ratio using commercial off the shelf parts (COTS).
The environment is heterogeneous because of the need to mix GPUs and
CPUs. GPUs are critical today to the success of deep learning
algorithms.
Methods of horizontal scaling and managing node availability based on
requested resources and server load are discussed.
Tools that are central to our management strategy include Ganglia, mdadm
and smartctl.},

Abstract = {Reporting bugs, asking for new features and in general giving any kind
of feedback is a common way to contribute to an Open-Source Software
(OSS) project. This feedback is generally reported in the form of new
issues for the project, managed by the so-called issue-trackers. One of
the features provided by most issue-trackers is the possibility to
define a set of labels/tags to classify the issues and, at least in
theory, facilitate their management. Nevertheless, there is little
empirical evidence to confirm that taking the time to categorize new
issues has indeed a beneficial impact on the project evolution. In this
paper we analyze a population of more than three million of GitHub
projects and give some insights on how labels are used in them. Our
preliminary results reveal that, even if the label mechanism is scarcely
used, using labels favors the resolution of issues. Our analysis also
suggests that not all projects use labels in the same way (e.g., for
some labels are only a way to prioritize the project while others use
them to signal their temporal evolution as they move along in the
development workflow). Further research is needed to precisely
characterize these label ``families{''} and learn more the ideal
application scenarios for each of them.},

Abstract = {Nowadays, software development societies have given more precedence to
Open Source Software (OSS). There is much research aimed at
understanding the OSS society to sustain the OSS product. To lead an OSS
project to a successful conclusion, researchers study how developers
change source codes called patches in project repositories. In existing
studies, we found an argument in the conventional patch acceptance
detection procedure. It was so simplified that it omitted important
cases from the analysis, and would lead researchers to wrong
conclusions. In this research, we propose an algorithm to overcome the
problem. To prove out our algorithm, we constructed a framework and
conducted two case studies. As a result, we came to a new and
interesting understanding of patch activities.},

Journal = {BONE},

Volume = {99},

Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {Micro-CT analysis has become the standard method for assessing bone
volume and architecture in small animals. However, micro-CT does not
allow the assessment of bone turnover parameters such as bone formation
rate and osteoclast (OC) number and surface. For these crucial variables
histomorphometric analysis is still an essential technique.
Histomorphometry however, is time consuming and, especially in mouse
bones, OCs can be difficult to detect. The main purpose of this study
was to develop and validate a relatively easy and rapid method to
measure static and dynamic bone histomorphometry parameters. Here we
present the adaptation of established staining protocols and three novel
open source image analysis packages: TrapHisto, OsteoidHisto and
CalceinHisto that allow rapid, semi-automated analysis of
histomorphometric bone resorption, osteoid, and calcein double labelling
parameters respectively. These three programs are based on ImageJ, but
use a relatively simple user interface that hides the underlying
complexity of the image analysis. (c) 2017 The Authors. Published by

Abstract = {Software maintenance phase of Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) is
the most expensive and complex phase that requires nearly 60-70\% of the
total project cost. Due to this, many software fails to get repair
within real time constraint. Ascribe to technology advancements and
changing requirements, software must be well developed and maintained to
get adapted. Hence, it is necessary to predict software maintainability
in the early phases of the lifecycle so that optimization of resources
can be possible and cost can be reduced. Software Maintainability is the
quality attribute of software product that explains the ease with which
modifications can be performed. The main focus in this study is to
propose the use of Gene Expression Programming (GEP) for the software
maintainability prediction and measure its performance with various
machine leaning techniques such as Decision Tree Forest, Support Vector
Machine, Linear regression, Multilayer Perceptron and Radial basis
function neural network. The empirical study is conducted with the help
of four open source datasets. Eleven bad smells are identified and is
considered as maintenance effort. Results of this study show that GEP
algorithm performs better than machine learning classifiers; hence it
can be used as sound alternative in the prediction of software
maintainability. This study would be helpful in achieving better
resource allocation hence it will be useful for developers and
maintainers.},

Abstract = {When referring to Open Source Software (OSS) components, researchers,
coders and managers do not feel comfortable in defining them as COTS.
Many discussions have been aimed to decide whether or not OSS can be
considered a COTS without reaching the unanimous consensus of the
different international communities. This paper abandons any theoretical
aspect of that question and focuses on the practical steps to follow
when assembling component-based systems using also OSS components. All
the activities normally performed when integrating COTS in a in-house
built software are reviewed with the intention of underlining if the
availability of the source code (and its possible exploitation) makes
any difference. Moreover this article analyzes all the activities to
perform when using OSS in a component-based system that are not
necessary when using COTS. The purpose of this paper is to provide a
guideline for the correct use of OSS within component-based systems, and
not to answer whether OSS are considered or not COTS, leaving this task
to the reader.},

in open-source software (OSS) development and the similarities and
differences with those of traditional development. The organizational
commitment of OSS developers to quality is also explored. A
comprehensive web-based questionnaire was completed by OSS and
traditional developers. It was found that peer review is generally
considered very useful for detecting both defects and flaws in code, as
well as being important in contributing to the quality of the software.
It is suggested that OSS developers commit to quality through
internalization - adopting the ideas as their own, as the majority of
the developers indicated that they would perform peer reviews without
management direction. Encouragement to perform peer reviews and an
organizational culture of peer review make it more likely for the
developers to perform peer review under their own initiative, but
neither are essential.},

communication with the actuators by a controller running on a real-time

Year = {2023},
Volume = {75},
Number = {4},
Pages = {685-707},
Month = {JUN 29},
Abstract = {Purpose The purpose of the paper is to propose a semantic model for
describing open source software (OSS) in a machine-human understandable
format. The model is extracted to support source code reusing and
revising as the two primary targets of OSS through a systematic review
of related documents. Design/methodology/approach Conducting a
systematic review, all the software reusing criteria are identified and
introduced to the web of data by an ontology for OSS (O4OSS). The
software semantic model introduced in this paper explores OSS through
triple expressions in which the O4OSS properties are predicates.
Findings This model improves the quality of web data by describing
software in a structured machine-human readable profile, which is linked
to the related data that was previously published on the web. Evaluating
the OSS semantic model is accomplished through comparing it with
previous approaches, comparing the software structured metadata with
profile index of software in some well-known repositories, calculating
the software retrieval rank and surveying domain experts.
Originality/value Considering context-specific information and authority
levels, the proposed software model would be applicable to any open and
close software. Using this model to publish software provides an
infrastructure of connected meaningful data and helps developers
overcome some specific challenges. By navigating software data, many
questions which can be answered only through reading multiple documents
can be automatically responded on the web of data.},

date, researchers have examined code reuse in OSS largely from the
perspective of leaders. We show why followers must be considered as
well. ``Followers{''} are people who have had previous contacts with an
individual from another project and who continue to associate with him
or her. We consider two types of followers: developers (those directly
involved in software development) and observers (those indirectly
involved in it). We conduct a series of empirical investigations by
using a longitudinal dataset of OSS projects hosted in GitHub, along
with a survey and qualitative data. We find that followership can affect
code reuse, but the effect depends on the nature of the follower
(developer or observer). Overall, our study suggests that followership
is important for code reuse in OSS because it enables participants to
learn, and learning promotes code reuse.},

system An exploratory study},
Journal = {LIBRARY REVIEW},
Year = {2010},
Volume = {59},
Number = {9, SI},
Pages = {690-701},
Abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to address the following
questions: How are members of the Tennessee's regional library system
(TRLS) in the USA using open source software (OSS) applications and
collaborating to further their missions and overcome some of their
debilitating information-related circumstances? What kind of
partnerships can be explored in order to further use of OSS in the
state?
Design/methodology/approach - The paper highlights findings from an
exploratory website study to identify key trends, practices, and
applications of use of OSS in the TRLS.
Findings - OSS applications in the TRLS are presented in terms of their
current use as well as their future directions of development and
opportunities. Study of collaborations in OSS use and website
development by public libraries in the TRLS reveals that the OSS
infoscape is more complex than previously understood.
Originality/value - Minimal research has been done involving the TRLS
that has been in existence for over 60 years and comprises 12
multi-county regions serving 211 small-and medium-sized public
libraries. Use of OSS has tremendous potentialities to overcome the
harsh conditions of information poverty, lack of information resources
and technology, and unique cultural, social, economic, and environmental
challenges experienced in Tennessee that have prevented significant
growth of information and communications technologies in the state.},

Abstract = {One of open-source software (OSS) is that it can be used for a long term
by repeating version-up iteratively in the operational phase, so that
OSS possesses a different software bug detection and correction profiles
from the closed source software (CSS) products. More specifically, the
software bug fixing process of OSS can be considered to show effects of
the long-term operation and/or periodicity due to the multiple
version-up procedures, in addition to the common reliability growth
phenomenon observed in the relatively short-term software testing. In
this article we propose a stochastic point process approach to represent
the long-term effect and the periodicity effect of OSS with the actual
OSS bug fixing data. By conducting the reliability analysis of OSS, it
is possible to assess the operational reliability of OSS quantitatively
and to share the published quality indicators of OSS by the whole OSS
community.},

Abstract = {The world's population is greying. There are more older adults now than
ever before, and it is expected that this population will grow rapidly
in years to come. In addition to this rapid growth in the population of
older adults, there is also rapid growth of free/open source software
projects (FOSS). Despite the increasing diversity of FOSS's user base,
FOSS's developer base is quite homogeneous, comprised mainly of
20-something year old males. This lack of diversity could be detrimental
to the community, as many voices of end users are not heard. I aim to
increase age diversity in free/open source software communities by
investigating how to involve older adults. My research deliverables are
as follows: a list of benefits and barriers of involving older adults in
FOSS, guidelines for involving older adults in FOSS, and a prototype
workshop curriculum for encouraging successful participation to FOSS by
older adults.},

Volume = {31},

Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {Software reliability growth model (SRGM) is used as one of the
reliability assessment methods to assess the software reliability. In
SRGM, the degree of reliability growth may fluctuate greatly according
to change in the internal state of the software. It is called the change
point (CP). Several researchers proposed the SRGM considering CP. In the
open source software (OSS), there are many projects that continue
development even after the software is released. Therefore, major
updates with breaking changes may occur in it. The major updates can be
a factor that causes a CP because it greatly changes the internal state
of the OSS. This paper focuses on the relationship between CP and
software updates. We collect OSS fault data from a bug tracking system.
Moreover, we examine the behavior of SRGM before and after software
updates. Furthermore, we discuss the applicability of SRGM for CP in
OSS. Also, we compare the proposed model based on CP with the model
without CP. As a result, we have confirmed that the SRGM can evaluate
the reliability in the environment with major updates. Moreover, the
proposed method performs better than without considering CP model.
Especially, the exponential model's mean value function is the suitable
method to assess the OSS reliability for the proposed method.},

Abstract = {This paper presents the first entirely open-source and cross-platform
software called Open3DGen for reconstructing photorealistic textured 3D
models from RGB-D images. The proposed software pipeline consists of
nine main stages: 1) RGBD acquisition; 2) 2D feature extraction; 3)
camera pose estimation; 4) point cloud generation; 5) coarse mesh
reconstruction; 6) optional loop closure; 7) fine mesh reconstruction;
8) UV unwrapping; and 9) texture projection. This end-to-end scheme
combines multiple state-of-the-art techniques and provides an
easy-to-use software package for real-time 3D model reconstruction and
offline texture mapping. The main innovation lies in various
Structure-from-Motion (SfM) techniques that are used with additional
depth data to yield high-quality 3D models in real-time and at low cost.
The functionality of Open3DGen has been validated on AMD Ryzen 3900X CPU
and Nvidia GTX1080 GPU. This proof-of-concept setup attains an average
processing speed of 15 fps for 720p (1280x720) RGBD input without the
offline backend. Our solution is shown to provide competitive 3D mesh
quality and execution performance with the state-of-the-art commercial
and academic solutions.},

Abstract = {Commercially available computer-controlled SQUID electronics are usually
delivered with software providing a basic user interface for adjustment
of superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) tuning
parameters, such as bias current, flux offset, and feedback loop
settings. However, in a research context it would often be useful to be
able to modify this code and/or to have full control over all these
parameters from researcher-written software. In the case of the STAR
Cryoelectronics PCI/PFL family of SQUID control electronics, the
supplied software contains modules for automatic tuning and noise
characterization, but does not provide an interface for user code. On
the other hand, the Magnicon SQUIDViewer software package includes a
public application programming interface, but lacks auto-tuning and
noise characterization features. To overcome these and other
limitations, we are developing an ``open-source{''} framework for
controlling SQUID electronics, which should provide maximal
interoperability with user software, a unified user interface for
electronics from different manufacturers, and a flexible platform for
the rapid development of customized SQUID auto-tuning and other advanced
features. We have completed a first implementation for the STAR
Cryoelectronics hardware and have made the source code for this ongoing
project available to the research community on SourceForge

Title = {A straightforward protocol for designing an interim hollow shell with
open-source software},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF DENTISTRY},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {114},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {Background: An interim hollow shell (IHS) is a temporary prosthesis that
adapts like a cap over a prepared tooth abutment. Using a conventional
protocol to fabricate IHS from casts of the initial situation or the
wax-up can be challenging, time-consuming, and sometimes frustrating. A
digital workflow makes this process quicker and more convenient. The IHS
must be first designed with computer-aided design (CAD), then fabricated
with computer-aided manufacture (CAM). Proprietary dental software is
commonly used for the design process but needs to be purchased.
Objective: To describe a step-by-step technique for designing an IHS for
posterior relining with open-source software. Methods: This paper
describes a straightforward procedure to design an IHS from a dental
scan of the initial situation or a digital wax-up for an esthetic and
functional temporary rehabilitation. Results: An IHS can be quickly
designed using open-source software by copying an existing restoration
or a conventional or digital wax-up. Then, the design can be 3D printed
using a biocompatible resin. Conclusions: The clinician can use
open-source software to design IHSs, which are then 3D printed using a
biocompatible resin. Clinical relevance: The clinician can design IHSs
from a dental scan of the initial situation or a wax-up using opensource
software by following the step-by-step protocol outlined in this paper.
The restoration can then be 3D printed using a biocompatible resin.},

Abstract = {The ability to record and analyse electrical behaviour across the heart
using optical and electrode mapping has revolutionised cardiac research.
However, wider uptake of these technologies is constrained by the lack
of multi-functional and robustly characterised analysis and mapping
software. We present ElectroMap, an adaptable, high-throughput,
open-source software for processing, analysis and mapping of complex
electrophysiology datasets from diverse experimental models and
acquisition modalities. Key innovation is development of standalone
module for quantification of conduction velocity, employing multiple
methodologies, currently not widely available to researchers. ElectroMap
has also been designed to support multiple methodologies for accurate
calculation of activation, repolarisation, arrhythmia detection, calcium
handling and beat-to-beat heterogeneity. ElectroMap implements automated
signal segmentation, ensemble averaging and integrates optogenetic
approaches. Here we employ ElectroMap for analysis, mapping and
detection of proarrhythmic phenomena in silico, in cellulo, animal model
and in vivo patient datasets. We anticipate that ElectroMap will
accelerate innovative cardiac research and enhance the uptake,
application and interpretation of mapping technologies leading to novel
approaches for arrhythmia prevention.},

Volume = {187},
Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {In the last couple of years, a combined effort between NIER, Universit`a
di Bologna and Fusion For Energy led to the development of JADE, a
python-based open-source software for the Verification and Validation of
nuclear data libraries. Nuclear data is fundamental for particle and
radiation transport simulations which, in turn, are responsible for the
evaluation of key quantities for fusion-related machines design such as
nuclear heating, DPA, particles production and dose rates. The aim for
the project is to offer standardization and automation to the V\&V
process of data libraries in order to speed up their release cycles and,
at the same time, improve the quality of the data. JADE takes advantage
of MCNP for the particles and radiation transport simulations and, even
if it is potentially applicable to the whole nuclear industry, a
particular focus on fusion applications is obtained through the
selections of the default benchmarks that have been implemented. The
code was recently made publicly available to the community and the
status of its development is summarized in this work. The more important
features and benchmarks (both computational and experimental) are
described, together with a brief discussion on the major case studies
where JADE has been used. Lastly, the current strength and limitations
of the tool are evaluated and the foreseen future developments for the
project are outlined.},

Abstract = {Snow is an important water resource that plays a critical role in the
global climate and hydrological cycle. Thus, Global Navigation Satellite
System Interferometric Reflectometry (GNSS-IR) has emerged as a new

snow parameter processing software GiRsnow, based on GNSS-IR tools and a
MATLAB environment, to obtain robust and effective retrievals. That tool
allows users to check the data quality, draw reflection point trajectory
and Fresnel zone, retrieve snow depth using signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
observations or geometry-free linear carrier phase combination (termed
L4) observations, and display the results based on the time and space
domain. We conducted two experiments at the Plate Boundary Observation
site RN86 and GPS Earth Observation Network (GEONET) site 020877 to
validate the performance of the software. Our results demonstrate that
GiRsnow can process multi-constellation and multi-frequency GNSS data
and obtain robust and effective results through quality control and a
grid model to account for topography effects.},

Abstract = {Over the past two decades, a rich ecosystem of open-source software has
evolved. For every type of application, there are a wide variety of
alternatives. We observed that even if different applications that
perform similar tasks and compiled with the same versions of the
compiler and the libraries, they perform very differently while running
on the same system. Sadly prior work in this area that compares two code
bases for similarities does not help us in finding the reasons for the
differences in performance.
In this paper, we develop a tool, SoftMon, that can compare the
codebases of two separate applications and pinpoint the exact set of
functions that are disproportionately responsible for differences in
performance. Our tool uses machine learning and NLP techniques to
analyze why a given open-source application has a lower performance as
compared to its peers, design bespoke applications that can incorporate
specific innovations (identified by SoftMon) in competing applications,
and diagnose performance bugs.
In this paper, we compare a wide variety of large open-source programs
such as image editors, audio players, text editors, PDF readers, mail
clients and even full-fledged operating systems (OSs). In all cases, our
tool was able to pinpoint a set of at the most 10-15 functions that are
responsible for the differences within 200 seconds. A subsequent manual
analysis assisted by our graph visualization engine helps us find the
reasons. We were able to validate most of the reasons by correlating
them with subsequent observations made by developers or from existing
technical literature. The manual phase of our analysis is limited to 30
minutes (tested with human subjects).},

Abstract = {Natural bone remodeling is the mechanism that regulates the relationship
between bone morphology and external mechanical loads applied to it.
This phenomenon has been studied extensively, including multiple
numerical models that have been formulated to predict the density
distribution and its evolution in several bone types. However, despite
these models, bone remodeling mechanism under different stimuli is still
not well understood. We implemented a recently proposed
electromechanically driven bone remodeling model that encompasses both
mechanical and therapeutic electrical stimuli using an open-source
software framework, and studied a two-dimensional (2D) plate model and a
femur bone model, respectively. For discretization, we employed the
finite element method (FEM) for the spatial quantities and Euler scheme
for the time derivatives. The simulation results demonstrate that the
density distribution is changed under electrical stimulation, generally
resulting in a greater mass deposition. This study supports the
possibility of enhancing and accelerating the bone remodeling process
via simultaneous application of electrical and mechanical stimulus.},

motivations; and open-ended questions. In comparison with the general
OSS community, the results indicate that LOSS developers have high
levels of intrinsic (i.e., altruism and fun) and internalized-extrinsic
(i.e., learning and personal needs) motivations, higher diversity in
gender, higher levels of formal education, previous library-related work
experience, and a strong library ethos. Using this research,
stakeholders can devise strategies to improve participation in LOSS

Abstract = {The use of free and open source software is gaining momentum due to the
ever increasing availability and use of the Internet. Organizations are
also now adopting open source software, despite some reservations in
particular regarding the provision and availability of support. One of
the greatest concerns about free and open source software is the
availability of post release support and the handling of for support. A
common belief is that there is no appropriate support available for this
class of software, while an alternative argument is that due to the
active involvement of Internet users in online forums, there is in fact
a large resource available that communicates and manages the management
of support requests. The research model of this empirical investigation
establishes and studies the relationship between open source software
support requests and online public forums. The results of this empirical
study provide evidence about the realities of support that is present in
open source software projects. We used a dataset consisting of 616 open
source software projects covering a broad range of categories in this
investigation. The results show that online forums play a significant
role in managing support requests in open source software, thus becoming
a major source of assistance in maintenance of the open source projects},

Journal = {CHEMOMETRICS AND INTELLIGENT LABORATORY SYSTEMS},
Year = {2023},

Month = {AUG 15},
Abstract = {A new, open-source, practical, modern and multi-platform Python
application for concentrations calculation (PyES - Python Equilibrium
Species) was developed by re-writing and implementing the ES4, a
freeware computer program originally written using the BASIC programming
language. Currently PyES has two working modes, i.e., titration
simulation and species distribution, and it can handle both
precipitation and solution equilibria. Noteworthy, PyES is actually the
only open-source software able to perform calculations at variable ionic
strength, taking into account the dependence of the stability constants
on it, and to take into account the error propagation to estimate the
uncertainties in the calculated concentrations using those of the
formation constants, solubility products and components concentrations.
Various tests were performed to verify the reliability of PyES with very
satisfying results. Moreover, PyES is user friendly and compatible with
existing operative systems. The data analysis results can be visualized
in a graphical presentation and can be easily exported as .xlsx or .csv
files. PyES and the corresponding source code are available for download
at htt ps://github.com/Kastakin/PyES.},

procedure described here uses a Solis \& Wets based algorithm, but the
approach remains valid for other optimization techniques, provided that
they accept semantic constraints. The optimization sequence is

and calculation of reflection, transmission, absorption, phase, group

admittance diagram, circle diagram, electric field distribution, and
generation of reflection, transmission, and ellipsometric monitoring
curves. It also provides the refinement, needle, step, and Fourier

Abstract = {In order to address the issue of macro-segregations in large industrial
ingots, a solidification model has been recently developed in
Code\_Saturne, the general purpose open-source Computational Fluid
tablDynamics (CFD) software developed and released by EDF R\&D. This
model is a liquid-solid mixture model inspired from the pioneer work of
Bennon and Incropera, including mass, momentum, energy and species
conservation equations. In particular, the energy conservation equation
is formulated with the temperature variable, the thermosolutal
convection is accounted for through the Boussinesq approximation and the
interdendritic flow in the mushy zone is governed by the Darcy's law.
Furthermore, a rigid solid phase is assumed and classical
microsegregation models are used featuring lever-rule or Gulliver-Scheil
assumptions. At the discrete level, a first-order upwind scheme is
implemented with a SIMPLEC approach to solve the velocity-pressure
coupling. The other couplings involving temperature and concentration
fields are efficiently solved performing sub-loops with a PISO-like
approach. The overall scheme is mainly implicit with additional
treatments to ensure the equilibrium between the hydrostatic pressure
gradient and the buoyant forces, and to deal properly with solid zones.
The segregation predictions offered by the model are validated against
both academic test case and industrial ingot configurations. A
convergence study is also led focusing on time step and mesh size
sensitivities.},

Abstract = {In this paper, we describe an open source software package aimed at
solving reverse engineering problems for CAD models defined in polygonal
form. We briefly discuss the main principles behind the new software,
its architecture, and directions for its further development. The use of
the software is illustrated by examples of a turbine blade. In the first
example, the turbine blade is reconstructed automatically from a
structured point cloud. Another example is the interactive
reconstruction of the turbine blade from an unstructured surface
triangulation. In both the cases, we use a surface skinning strategy
enhanced by a curve fairing operator. We show that the modified skinning
operator does not minimize the total bending energy of the surface, but
yields a smooth patch where input inaccuracies are compensated for. The
reconstruction result is a parametric model of the turbine blade where
the design variables are the coordinates of the poles for each profile
curve. The proposed software architecture can be used for partial or
complete parameterization of reconstructed CAD models with the aim of
their subsequent optimization.},

Abstract = {Leveraging computational resources for modern physics education has
become increasingly prevalent, especially catalyzed by the COVID-19
pandemic when distance learning is widely implemented. Herein, we report
an open-source software for students and instructors to on-demand
simulate optical reflection behaviors of one-dimensional photonic
crystals (1D-PCs), a model system for understanding light-matter
interactions relevant to materials science and optical physics.
Specifically, our MATLAB application, ReflectSim, employs an adapted
transfer matrix method simulation and can account for the effects of
several critical material design parameters, including interfacial
roughness and layer geometry, to determine the reflectance spectrum of
user-defined 1D-PCs. By packing our codes into a graphical user
interface, this software is simple to use and bypass the requirement of
any coding experiences from users, which can be widely used as an
education tool in high school/undergraduate classrooms and K-12 outreach
activities. We believe that ReflectSim provides great potential for
assisting students in understanding optical phenomenon in nanostructured
layered materials and relevant scientific concepts through enabling more
engaging learning experiences.},

Abstract = {This paper describes utilizing open-source numerical simulation

attractive supplementary educational tool for teaching the underlying
physics and operation of P-N junction diodes. Details of educational P-N
device models and simulation-based learning scenarios developed for this
purpose are provided here. The presented approach allows students to
learn the essential concepts related to P-N diodes experientially. These
include some frequently observed nonidealities, closely mimicking
experimental I-V measurements. Unlike most educational tools in this
field, all simulations demonstrated here are performed locally on the
student's computer using free and portable software, which eliminates
the need for a live internet connection or time-consuming installations,
making it easier to implement in a classroom and much more accessible to
students. The paper also discusses the implementation of this
supplementary tool and reports the results of a survey conducted to
measure student satisfaction with it and its implementation approach.
The presented method can be adapted to suit the needs of undergraduate
and graduate students studying engineering courses that require an
introduction to semiconductor devices. The details of P-N diode device
models are introduced and discussed so that users can modify them in
accordance with their practical or educational purposes.},

aligns well with the model of self-sustainability intended for the
operation of SAGES systems in resource-limited settings. Preparing two

also compare the volume and content of communication produced by core

because of the massive amounts of data generated by sensor devices, and
the variety of data sources. And yet it is a compelling application
area, given the number of potential municipal services that can be
improved using these technologies. In this paper, we describe our study
of how cloud-computing and big-data management technologies can assist
decision making for transportation systems in smart cities. More
specifically, this paper presents and discusses a proof-of-concept
prototype, based on open-source technologies and publicly available data
for the city of Edmonton.},

Abstract = {Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) is an ISO/IEC MPEG standard
which enables the convenient and smooth transportation of multimedia
data to heterogeneous end devices over networks with variable bandwidth
conditions. This kind of streaming technology is mainly used with HTTP
1.0 and 1.1 respectively, which both have some drawbacks. Therefore, the
IETF has started the development of HTTP 2.0, which is based on Google's
SPDY proposal and already supported by several major companies, e. g.,
Facebook, Twitter, Akamai, Mozilla and obviously Google. Furthermore,
Content Centric Networking (CCN) is another novel approach for future
networks that is considered as an revolutionary approach compared to
HTTP 2.0. The CCN communication paradigm is completely different and
does not rely on direct connections between hosts, it rather focuses on
the content. This paper demonstrates DASH with HTTP 2.0/SPDY and CCN
using our universal libdash library. Moreover, different mechanisms of
DASH will be shown that can be used to provide on-demand and live
content in an efficient and comfortable way.},

Title = {A Hidden Markov Model of Developer Learning Dynamics in Open Source
Software Projects},
Journal = {INFORMATION SYSTEMS RESEARCH},
Year = {2011},
Volume = {22},
Number = {4},
Pages = {790-807},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {This study develops a stochastic model to capture developer learning
dynamics in open source software projects (OSS). A hidden Markov model
(HMM) is proposed that allows us to investigate (1) the extent to which
individuals learn from their own experience and from interactions with
peers, (2) whether an individual's ability to learn from these
activities varies as she evolves/learns over time, and (3) to what
extent individual learning persists over time. We calibrate the model
based on six years of detailed data collected from 251 developers
working on 25 OSS projects hosted at Sourceforge. Using the HMM, three
latent learning states (high, medium, and low) are identified, and the
marginal impact of learning activities on moving the developer between
these states is estimated. Our findings reveal different patterns of
learning in different learning states. Learning from peers appears to be
the most important source of learning for developers across the three
states. Developers in the medium learning state benefit the most through
discussions that they initiate. On the other hand, developers in the low
and the high states benefit the most by participating in discussions
started by others. While in the low state, developers depend entirely
upon their peers to learn, whereas in the medium or high state, they can
also draw upon their own experiences. Explanations for these varying
impacts of learning activities on the transitions of developers between
the three learning states are provided. The HMM is shown to outperform
the classical learning curve model. The HMM modeling of this study
contributes to the development of a theoretically grounded understanding
of learning behavior of individuals. Such a theory and associated
findings have important managerial and operational implications for
devising interventions to promote learning in a variety of settings.},

Abstract = {Peer review is seen as an important quality assurance mechanism in both
industrial development and the open source software (OSS) community. The
techniques for performing inspections have been well studied in
industry; in OSS development, peer reviews are less well understood. We
examine the two peer review techniques used by the successful, mature
Apache server project: review-then-commit and commit-then-review. Using
archival records of email discussion and version control repositories,
we construct a series of metrics that produces measures similar to those
used in traditional inspection experiments. Specifically, we measure the
frequency of review, the level of participation in reviews, the size of
the artifact under review, the calendar time to perform a review, and
the number of reviews that find defects. We provide a comparison of the
two Apache review techniques as well as a comparison of Apache review to
inspection in an industrial project. We conclude that Apache reviews can
be described as (1) early, frequent reviews (2) of small, independent,
complete contributions (3) conducted asynchronously by a potentially
large, but actually small, group of self-selected experts (4) leading to
an efficient and effective peer review technique.},

Abstract = {All over the world people can gain the information at the same time by
growing rate of Internet access around the world in recent years. In
accordance with such a penetration of the Internet, it is increasing
public awareness of the importance of online real-time and interactive
functions. Therefore, software development environment has been changing
into new development paradigms such as concurrent distributed
development environment and the so-called open source project by using
network computing technologies. Especially, such OSS (Open Source
Software) systems which serve as key components of critical
infrastructures in our society are still ever-expanding now. In this
paper, we propose a software reliability growth model based on
stochastic differential equations in order to consider the active state
of the open source project. Especially, we assume that the software
failure intensity depends on the time, and the software fault-report
phenomena on the bug tracking system keep an irregular state. Also, we
analyze actual software fault count data to show numerical examples of
software reliability assessment for the OSS. Moreover, we compare our
model with the conventional model based on stochastic differential
equations in terms of goodness-of-fit for actual data. We show that the
proposed model can assist improvement of quality for OSS systems
developed under the open source project.},

Abstract = {This paper tests the hypothesis that generic recovery techniques, such
as process pairs, can survive most application faults without using
application-specific information. We examine in detail the faults that
occur in three, large, open-source applications: the Apache web server,
the GNOME desktop environment, and the MySQL database. Using information
contained in the bug reports and source code, we classify faults based
on how they depend on the operating environment. We find that 72-87\% of
the faults are independent of the operating environment and are hence
deterministic (non-transient). Recovering from the failures caused by
these faults requires the use Of application-specific knowledge. Half of
the remaining faults depend on a condition in the operating environment
that is likely to persist on retry, and the failures caused by these
faults are also likely to require application-specific recovery.
Unfortunately, only 5-14\% of the faults were triggered by transient
conditions, such as timing and synchronization, that naturally fix
themselves during recovery. Our results indicate that classical
application-generic recovery techniques, such as process pairs, will not
be sufficient to enable applications to survive most failures caused by
application faults.},

demonstrate usefulness of the developed approach through investigating
the SEIG steady-state performances with various loading conditions.
Using this approach assists in teaching, facilitates self-learning of

we survey the current states of open source software testing tools from
three aspects, namely, their availability for different programming
platforms and types testing activities, maintenance of the tools and
license limitations. From the 152 tools surveyed, we found that open
source software testing tools not only are widely available for popular
programming platforms, but also support a wide range of testing
activities. Furthermore, we also found that more than half of the tools
surveyed have been actively maintained and updated by the open source
communities. Finally, these tools have very few licensing limitations

Abstract = {There exists no universal tool to analyze the increasing complexity in
smart grids. Domain specific simulation and engineering tools partly
address the challenges of complex system behavior. Different component
technologies, customer behavior and controls in the power networks are
interacting in a highly dynamic manner. Results of isolated simulations
may be not accurate enough on the system level. Free and open available
tools like GridLAB-D, PSAT, OpenModelica and 4DIAC are well known and
widely used because of their excellent domain specific expertise. With
co-simulation approaches the individual strengths of each tool can be
exploited to model and simulate the various aspects of complex smart
grids. The achieved level of detail and realism potentially surpasses
the results that the individual analyses would gain.
This paper demonstrates a local smart charging control strategy
implemented with the IEC 61499-based standard for distributed control
systems. It is simulated with different electric vehicle driving
patterns, modeled with the multi-agent environment GridLAB-D. Battery
models are defined in OpenModelica and embedded as individual dynamic
loads. The power system is simulated using PSAT. This work shows that
boundaries and restriction in terms of modeling cross-domain specific
problems can be overcome by coupling these open source applications.},

OpenWRT, an embedded Linux operating system, and other open source
software, to create a modified router for reading Maxim's 1-Wire (TM)

between the sensor protocols and the middle-level software to provide
reliable data to both the sewer district and the Environmental

design philosophy of the client and server open source software for
transferring the data from the embedded systems to the server level for
storage and publication. The use of open source software not only
creates a more affordable network but lowers the entry barrier to sensor
networking and enables developers for continued innovation and

be used to reconstruct CMEs and shock waves. The application
automatically retrieves and processes remote-sensing observations, and
visualizes the imaging data that can be used for the analysis. Thanks to
PyThea, the three-dimensional reconstruction of CMEs and shock waves is
an easy task, with final products ready for publication. The package
provides three widely used geometrical models for the reconstruction of
CMEs and shocks, namely, the graduated cylindrical shell (GCS) and an
ellipsoid/spheroid model. It also provides tools to process the final
fittings and calculate the kinematics. The final fitting products can
also be exported and reused at any time. The source code of PyThea
package can be found in GitHub and Zenodo under the GNU General Public

Title = {AirSeaFluxCode: Open-source software for calculating turbulent air-sea
fluxes from meteorological parameters},
Journal = {FRONTIERS IN MARINE SCIENCE},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {9},
Month = {FEB 6},
Abstract = {The turbulent exchanges, or fluxes, of heat, moisture and momentum
between the atmosphere and the ocean play a crucial role in the Earth's
climate system. Direct measurements of turbulent fluxes are very
challenging and sparse, and do not span the full range of environmental
conditions that exist over the ocean. This means that empirical ``bulk
formulae{''} parameterizations that relate direct flux observations to
concurrent measurements of the mean meteorological and sea surface
variables contain considerable uncertainty. In this paper, we present a
Python 3.6 (or higher) open-source software package ``AirSeaFluxCode{''}
for the computation of the heat (latent and sensible) and momentum
fluxes. Ten different parameterizations are included, each based on
published descriptions or code and each derived from a different set of
observations, or different assumptions about the turbulent exchange
processes. They represent a range of current expert opinion on how the
fluxes depend on mean properties and can be used to explore uncertainty
in calculated fluxes. AirSeaFluxCode also allows the adjustment of the
mean meteorological input parameters (air temperature, humidity and wind
speed) from the height at which they are obtained to a user-defined
output height. This height adjustment enables the comparison of
measurements, or model-derived values, made at different heights above
sea-level. The parameterizations calculate the fluxes using input
parameters that are relatively easily to measure, or are available as
model output: wind speed, air temperature, sea surface temperature,
atmospheric pressure and humidity. Where original code is available we
have compared its output with that of AirSeaFluxCode. Any changes made
to increase consistency across algorithms by standardizing computational
methods or calculation of meteorological variables, for example, are
discussed and the impacts quantified: these are shown to be
insignificant except for a few cases where conditions were extreme, and
AirSeaFluxCode is shown to be robust. We also investigate the impact on
the fluxes caused by different assumptions about the exchange processes,
or the choices inherent in the implementation of the parameterizations.
For example, sea surface temperature usually refers to data typically
obtained at depths of between 1 and 10 m. However, since some
parameterizations require a ``skin{''} sea surface temperature, code
that adjusts temperature at depth to skin temperature is included: this
has a very significant impact on the fluxes. Selecting a
parameterization that is appropriate for the available sea surface
temperature will avoid the need to adjust the sea temperature data and
the uncertainties associated with that adjustment, and will also avoid
the biases due to use of the ``wrong{''} measure of temperature.
Significant differences also resulted from assumptions about the size of
reduction in sea surface humidity to account for salinity effects: the
uncertainty in the reduction factor needs to be quantified in future
analyses. Fluxes in extreme conditions are particularly uncertain since
the transfer coefficients in the different parameterizations vary most
at very high and very low wind speeds. Low wind speeds are also
challenging for numerical implementation since choices have to be made
regarding: convergence criteria for the iterative calculation, inclusion
of a parameterization for convective gustiness, or application of ad hoc
limits to various parameters. All of these choices can significantly
affect the flux estimates for light winds.},

Title = {Open Growth: The Impact of Open Source Software on Employment in the USA},
Booktitle = {OPEN SOURCE TECHNOLOGY: CONCEPTS, METHODOLOGIES, TOOLS, AND APPLICATIONS},
Year = {2015},
Pages = {528-560},
Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) is well established in sectors as diverse as
aviation, health, telecommunications, finance, publishing, education,
and government. As nations increasingly rely on knowledge assets to
grow, the adoption of OSS will have profound economic consequences. This
paper identifies the mechanisms inherent to OSS production that help
fuel innovation in knowledge-based economies. As a collaborative and
open production model, OSS is conceptualized as a prototype of open
innovation. Drawing on US employment projections for 2008-2018, the
authors' analysis predicts OSS will have a positive impact on employment
growth in well-paid salary jobs across multiple sectors of the US
economy. OSS-related software development jobs are widely diffuse
throughout the economy, help build a skilled labour force and offer
wages significantly above the national average. OSS is thus believed to
be a strong contributor to growth in high-value employment in the US.
The authors also posit that, as industries are exposed to the benefits
of OSS as a result of the broad diffusion of OSS-related jobs, open
innovation processes outside software development may be adopted through
a process of learning and imitation.},

Title = {Simulating upgrades of complex systems: The case of Free and Open Source
Software},
Journal = {INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {56},
Number = {4},
Pages = {438-462},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {Context: The upgrade of complex systems is intrinsically difficult and
requires techniques, algorithms, and methods which are both expressive
and computationally feasible in order to be used in practice. In the
case of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) systems, many upgrade
errors cannot be discovered by current upgrade managers and then a
system upgrade can potentially lead the system to an inconsistent and
incoherent state.
Objective: The objective of this paper is to propose an approach to
simulate the upgrade of complex systems in order to predict errors
before they affect the real system.
Method: The approach promotes the use of model-driven engineering
techniques to simulate the upgrade of complex systems. The basic idea is
to have a model-based description of the system to be upgraded and to
make use of model transformations to perform the upgrade on a source
model so to obtain a target model representing the state of the upgraded
system.
Results: We provide an implementation of the simulator, which is
tailored to FOSS systems. The architecture of the simulator is
distribution independent so that it can be easily instantiated to
specific distributions. The simulator takes into account also pre and
post-installation scripts that equip each distribution package. This
feature is extremely important since maintainer scripts are full-fledged
programs that are run with system administration rights.
Conclusions: The paper shows the kind of errors the simulator is able to
predict before upgrading the real system, and how the approach improves
the state of the art of package managers while integrated in real Linux
distribution installations. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

Abstract = {The collaboration among the PRESN team, LaMCScI laboratory and CNESTEN
center made it possible to implement the first version of the GSA
software. Its first version is already available to the public; it is
not only free but also an open source, demonstrating the developers'
commitment to promoting the open sharing of scientific knowledge. This
first version is characterized by its flexibility and non-commerciality,
and it is available without any conditions on the following website:
https://www.github.com/LAHCEN-EL-AMRI/Gamma-Spectra-Analysis, allowing
users to add personal options, making it a particularly adaptable tool
to the different requirements of scientific research. This article deals
with the second version of GSA, which focuses on a core and
complementary feature: the calculation of isotope activity. In order to
accomplish this goal, instead of implementing a single efficiency
formula, as is often the case in most software, four formulas were
integrated. The users can therefore select the one they want to
implement. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of this new feature, a
validation was performed on GSA. The results obtained with GSA v2 were
carefully studied by comparing them to those obtained with the renowned
Genie 2000 software. Owing to this comparison step, it was possible to
verify and confirm the accuracy of the results of GSA version 2. This
second version of GSA is available as a free and open source software on
the following site:

open-source software},
Journal = {ANNALS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY},
Year = {2016},
Volume = {87},
Number = {2},
Pages = {16-22},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {Coupling neutronic and thermal-hydraulic analyses of a nuclear reactor
core is important because it helps identify the most relevant safety
issues without conservative assumptions. Currently coupled computations
solve the same governing equations using different coupling methods,
which can be sorted into two categories: loose coupling and tight
coupling. This paper proposes and verifies a third coupling approach
called ``the Integrated Tight Coupling (ITC) method{''}. The
mathematical equations in the nuclear fuel are rearranged to be
integrated via a novel concept of the energy-group function. In
addition, the data from the neutron cross section library can be used
directly. The ITC method is implemented using two open-source codes: the
DRAGON code and OpenFOAM. Additionally, a coupled computation using
these two codes is new and has not been done. The ITC method is verified
using a 1.5-D (1-D neutronics and 2-D thermal-hydraulics) symmetric unit
cell example. The mesh of the tightly integrated computation is 25\%
coarser than the loosely coupled one. Starting from a similar initial
guess, the number of iterations for the ITC method is 24\% fewer than
that for the loosely coupled computation to reach the same accuracy. In
addition, the ITC method is tested with different initial guesses. For
all cases tested, the scheme converged to the same solution. With
further improvement and additional testing, the ITC method has the
potential to be incorporated with other neutronics and
thermal-hydraulics codes. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

Abstract = {To facilitate software maintenance and save the maintenance cost,
numerous machine learning (ML) techniques have been studied to predict
the maintainability of software modules or classes. An abundant amount
of effort has been put by the research community to develop software
maintainability prediction (SMP) models by relating software metrics to
the maintainability of modules or classes. When software classes
demanding the high maintainability effort (HME) are less as compared to
the low maintainability effort (LME) classes, the situation leads to
imbalanced datasets for training the SMP models. The imbalanced class
distribution in SMP datasets could be a dilemma for various ML
techniques because, in the case of an imbalanced dataset, minority class
instances are either misclassified by the ML techniques or get discarded
as noise. The recent development in predictive modeling has ascertained
that ensemble techniques can boost the performance of ML techniques by
collating their predictions. Ensembles themselves do not solve the
class-imbalance problem much. However, aggregation of ensemble
techniques with the certain techniques to handle class-imbalance problem
(e.g., data resampling) has led to several proposals in research. This
paper evaluates the performance of ensembles for the class-imbalance in
the domain of SMP. The ensembles for class-imbalance problem (ECIP) are
the modification of ensembles which pre-process the imbalanced data
using data resampling before the learning process. This study
experimentally compares the performance of several ECIP using
performance metrics Balance and g-Mean over eight Apache software
datasets. The results of the study advocate that for imbalanced
datasets, ECIP improves the performance of SMP models as compared to
classic ensembles.},

contributions from hobbyists, universities, research centers, as well as
software vendors and user firms. Theorists have referred to this kind of
combined public and private investments in innovation creation as
private-collective innovation. In particular, the private-collective
innovation model seeks to explain why firms privately invest resources
to create artifacts that share the characteristics of non-rivalry and
non-excludability. The aim of this research is to investigate how
different contributor groups associated with public and increasing
private interests interact in an OSS development project. The results of
the study show that the balance between private and collective
contributors in the Linux kernel development seems to be changing to an
open source project that is mostly developed jointly by private
companies.},

Abstract = {Business processes of modern companies are characterized by a huge
complexity which is caused for example by quickly changing markets,
short product life cycles or dynamic interactions between particular
subsystems of a company. Business process management is intended to
implement efficient and customer orientated processes whereby the
simulation of business processes can be used to evaluate the quality of
processes and to identify areas of improvements. Since real business
processes usually contain decision processes which can be solved by
optimization systems, it makes sense to,combine the simulation and the
optimization of business processes. (Marz et.al. 2010, p 3ff.)
As an example of a reasonable combined simulation and optimization of
business processes, the navigation in a road network is discussed in
this paper. Consider vehicles seeking the fastest route from a starting
node to a target node using a navigation system. The amount of time
spent driving on an arc is influenced by the distance and the amount of
the vehicles on this arc and is continuously changing. The structure of
the road network and the traffic within the network is described in a
simulation model while the fastest path decisions of each vehicle are
made by using an optimization system. There is obviously a relationship
between the individual decisions made for each of the vehicles and the
state of the entire network.
The aim of this paper is to describe how a combined simulation and
optimization of business processes can be created through using
EPC-Simulator (Muller 2012) as a simulation system and CMPL (Steglich
and Schleiff 2010) as an optimization system where the network traffic
simulation is used exemplarily.},

Title = {AxonPacking: An Open-Source Software to Simulate Arrangements of Axons
in White Matter},
Journal = {FRONTIERS IN NEUROINFORMATICS},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {11},
Month = {JAN 31},
Abstract = {Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can provide parameters
that describe white matter microstructure, such as the fiber volume
fraction (FVF), the myelin volume fraction (MVF) or the axon volume
fraction (AVF) via the fraction of restricted water (fr). While already
being used for clinical application, the complex interplay between these
parameters requires thorough validation via simulations. These
simulations required a realistic, controlled and adaptable model of the
white matter axons with the surrounding myelin sheath. While there
already exist useful algorithms to perform this task, none of them
combine optimisation of axon packing, presence of myelin sheath and
availability as free and open source software. Here, we introduce a
novel disk packing algorithm that addresses these issues. The
performance of the algorithm is tested in term of reproducibility over
50 runs, resulting density, and stability over iterations. This tool was
then used to derive multiple values of FVF and to study the impact of
this parameter on fr and MVF in light of the known microstructure based
on histology sample. The standard deviation of the axon density over
runs was lower than 10(-3) and the expected hexagonal packing for
monodisperse disks was obtained with a density close to the optimal
density (obtained: 0.892, theoretical: 0.907). Using an FVF ranging
within {[}0.58, 0.82] and a mean inter-axon gap ranging within {[}0.1,
1.1] mu m, MVF ranged within {[}0.32, 0.44] and fr ranged within
{[}0.39, 0.71], which is consistent with the histology. The proposed
algorithm is implemented in the open-source software AxonPacking
(hups://github.comineuropoly/ axonpacking) and can be useful for
validating diffusion models as well as for enabling researchers to study
the interplay between microstructure parameters when evaluating qMRI
methods.},

Abstract = {A diverse range of innovative solutions based on Free-and-Open-Source
Software (FOSS) have been developed for marginalized communities in
developing countries. It has been suggested that such small-scale and
home-grown solutions (e.g. mobile phone apps), usually championed by
social enterprises (SEs), are more likely to introduce pro-poor change
than infrastructure heavy ICT initiatives designed by state and other
international actors. In the Indian context, FOSS-based social
innovations (SIs) introduced by SEs are helping poor communities tackle
previously thought-to-be unresolvable socio-economic problems. An
interesting question, therefore, would be: in what ways is the SE model
and approach uniquely equipped to develop FOSS-based SIs that deliver
pro-poor change? The empirical component of the research attempts to
shed light on this question by uncovering the nuts and bolts of the
development methodology deployed by an SE during the coding and launch
of an FOSS-based SI. Findings highlight the significant role of the
founder's social vision; the challenges of accurately capturing and

Abstract = {Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) communities are composed, in
part, of volunteers, many of whom contribute infrequently. However,
these infrequent volunteers contribute to the sustainability of FLOSS
projects, and should ideally be encouraged to continue participating,
even if they cannot be persuaded to contribute regularly. Infrequent
contributions are part of a trend which has been widely observed in
other sectors of volunteering, where it has been termed ``episodic
volunteering{''} (EV). Previous FLOSS research has focused on the Onion
model, differentiating core and peripheral developers, with the latter
considered as a homogeneous group. We argue this is too simplistic,
given the size of the periphery group and the myriad of valuable
activities they perform beyond coding. Our exploratory qualitative
survey of 13 FLOSS communities investigated what episodic volunteering
looks like in a FLOSS context. EV is widespread in FLOSS communities,
although not specifically managed. We suggest several recommendations
for managing EV based on a framework drawn from the volunteering
literature. Also, episodic volunteers make a wide range of value-added
contributions other than code, and they should neither be expected nor
coerced into becoming habitual volunteers.},

Abstract = {Structural learning of Bayesian networks (BNs) from observational data
has gained increasing applied use and attention from various scientific
and industrial areas. The mathematical theory of BNs and their
optimization is well developed. Although there are several open-source
BN learners in the public domain, none of them are able to handle both
small and large feature space data and recover network structures with
acceptable accuracy. bAIcis (R) is a novel BN learning and simulation
software from BERG. It was developed with the goal of learning BNs from
``Big Data{''} in health care, often exceeding hundreds of thousands
features when research is conducted in genomics or multi-omics. This
article provides a comprehensive performance evaluation of bAIcis and
its comparison with the open-source BN learners. The study investigated
synthetic datasets of discrete, continuous, and mixed data in small and
large feature space, respectively. The results demonstrated that bAIcis
outperformed the publicly available algorithms in structure recovery
precision in almost all of the evaluated settings, achieving the true
positive rates of 0.9 and precision of 0.8. In addition, bAIcis supports
all data types, including continuous, discrete, and mixed variables. It
is effectively parallelized on a distributed system and can work with
datasets of thousands of features that are infeasible for any of the
publicly available tools with a desired level of recovery accuracy.},

Abstract = {Two-mode networks are used to describe dual patterns of association
between distinct social entities through their joint involvement in
categories, activities, issues, and events. In empirical organizational
research, the analysis of two-mode networks is typically accomplished
either by (a) decomposition of the dual structure into its two unimodal
components defined in terms of indirect relations between entities of
the same kind or (b) direct statistical analysis of individual two-mode
dyads. Both strategies are useful, but neither is fully satisfactory. In
this article, the authors introduce newly developed stochastic
actor-based models for two-mode networks that may be adopted to redress
the limitations of current analytical strategies. The authors specify
and estimate the model in the context of data they have collected on the
dual association between software developers and software problems
observed during a complete release cycle of an open source software
project. The authors discuss the general methodological implications of
the models for organizational research based on the empirical analysis
of two-mode networks.},

Challenges and Solutions for Future Network Providers},

Abstract = {Software Defined Networking (SDN) is programmable by separation of
forwarding control through the centralization of the controller. The
controller plays the role of the `brain' that dictates the intelligent
part of SDN technology. Various versions of SDN controllers exist as a
response to the diverse demands and functions expected of them. There
are several SDN controllers available in the open market besides a large
number of commercial controllers; some are developed to meet
carrier-grade service levels and one of the recent trends in open-source
SDN controllers is the Open Network Operating System (ONOS). This paper
presents a comparative study between open source SDN controllers, which
are known as Network Controller Platform (NOX), Python-based Network
Controller (POX), component-based SDN framework (Ryu), Java-based
OpenFlow controller (Floodlight), OpenDayLight (ODL) and ONOS. The
discussion is further extended into ONOS architecture, as well as, the
evolution of ONOS controllers. This article will review use cases based
on ONOS controllers in several application deployments. Moreover, the
opportunities and challenges of open source SDN controllers will be
discussed, exploring carrier- grade ONOS for future real-world
deployments, ONOS unique features and identifying the suitable choice of
SDN controller for service providers. In addition, we attempt to provide
answers to several critical questions relating to the implications of
the open-source nature of SDN controllers regarding vendor lock-in,
interoperability, and standards compliance, Similarly, real-world use
cases of organizations using open-source SDN are highlighted and how the
open-source community contributes to the development of SDN controllers.
Furthermore, challenges faced by open-source projects, and
considerations when choosing an open-source SDN controller are
underscored. Then the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine
Learning (ML) in the evolution of open-source SDN controllers in light
of recent research is indicated. In addition, the challenges and
limitations associated with deploying open-source SDN controllers in
production networks, how can they be mitigated, and finally how open-
source SDN controllers handle network security and ensure that network
configurations and policies are robust and resilient are presented.
Potential opportunities and challenges for future Open SDN deployment
are outlined to conclude the article.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) projects leverage the contribution of
outsiders. In fact, the sustainability of many projects relies on
retaining some of these newcomers. Usually these communities do not
coordinate the work of the newcomers, who go to the issue trackers and
self-select a task to start with. We found that ``finding a way to
start{''} was reported as an important issue by practitioners. To
further investigate this specific barrier, we conducted a qualitative
analysis with data obtained from semi-structured interviews with 36
subjects from 14 different projects, including newcomers and experienced
members. We used procedures of Grounded Theory-open and axial coding-to
analyze the data. We found that newcomers are not confident enough to
choose their initial task and they need information about the tasks or
direction from the community to support choosing a task more suitable
for them. We also present a set of strategies identified in the
literature, interviews, and state-of-the-practice that can provide
newcomers with such information, enabling them to be more confident when
choosing their first tasks and collaborate with the community.},

Abstract = {Computer vision is an important subject in computer science and
engineering degrees. For laboratory lectures, we need a tool that is
complete and easy to use. In this work we present a Java library which
is oriented to teaching. This means that we have designed and built the
library thinking in readability and understanding instead of efficiency.
In this paper we present the open source project JavaVis, oriented to
Computer Vision teaching. It consists of a framework with several
features that make it useful for that purpose. It was designed to be
easy to use: the user does not have to deal with internal structures and
graphical interface, and adding a new algorithm is a simple task.
We have developed three different modules, based on three different
needs we have noticed in our subjects. The first one is a basic library
for image processing. Besides the previously commented features, it
supports geometrical data (edges, segments, points, etc.). The second
module is based on the same working schema as the first one, but applied
to 3D data. These two modules are enough for testing many well-known
algorithms. They also suit the programming needs of students and
teachers, as they can easily develop their own algorithms for the
JavaVis framework. All JavaVis functions can be launched both from
command line, as well as with the JavaVis Graphical User Interface.
Finally we have extended JavaVis with a third module consisting of a
visual desktop where different Computer Vision functions can be easily
placed and connected. Its purpose is to visualize intermediate results
in processes involving several functions, helping their better
understanding.
Once the library is presented, we focus on the experience using this
library in several computer science courses. Our main goal using this
library is that the students understand what they are doing. We have
taken questionnaires during two years in order to know the improvement
the students have gotten using the library. Results are shown and
conclusions are drawn.},

Abstract = {An optimization framework combines various methods, strategies, and
programming interfaces on a robust software platform. Its development
requires knowledge from application areas, and about optimization
methods, as well as from software engineering. Different persons provide
diverse know-how about modeling and simulating engineering and/or
business problems, about search and optimization methods, and about new
software trends to implement them into software. This paper describes
the approach how an optimization framework based on evolutionary
algorithms and other methods is developed in subsequent projects with
application engineers and software developers cooperatively working
together guaranteeing a sophisticated knowledge transfer. Therefore,
particular knowledge management aspects are emphasized. As result, the
optimization platform OpenOpal and the ideas behind its software
architecture, supporting the know-how transfer, are presented. In order
to continuously improve this optimization framework it is transferred
into an open-source software initiative. The objective is to broaden the
user group by increasing the number of knowledge contributors both from
academia - integrating and testing newly developed optimization methods
- and from various engineering areas - providing real-world problems to
be solved.},

Abstract = {MASCARET modeling framework is a set of numerical codes simulating
one-dimensional (1-D) hydro-environmental problems through a network of
open channels. The governing equations underlying MASCARET are the
shallow water equations for unsteady flow propagation and the
advection-dispersion equation for water quality and contaminant
transport. The hydraulic component accounts for floodplains and storage
areas, and flow at channel junction can be treated using a 2-D approach.
Additionally, flood propagation over dry beds (e. g. dam-break flows)
and non-hydrostatic waves can be simulated. The user interface
FUDAA-MASCARET manages the input data, allocation of parameters, running
of simulations and viewing outputs. MASCARET can be easily compiled as a
dynamic library, offering special interfaces to be used with three main
steps: Initialization, Run and Finalization of the calculation. With
these features, MASCARET can be coupled or integrated to other softwares
without requiring significant efforts. Since July 2011, MASCARET is
worldwide distributed as an open-source code. In this paper, are
presented various applications of this tool covering both flow
hydrodynamic and water quality. Model-data comparisons show the
performance of the modeling framework, and demonstrate the interest of
this open-source software for the scientific community.},

publicly available, allowing its modification and distribution at no
cost. However, due to these OSS projects' collaborative and
community-based nature, they often lack resources to focus on quality
aspects, such as efficiency and usability. This research aims to apply
the adapted Interface Content Model usability technique in the
open-source software Koodo Reader project. We participated as volunteers
in this project, although we did not have the authorization of the
leading developer. To validate the effectiveness of the adapted
technique, tests were conducted with representative users, covering a
variety of interactions with the Koodo Reader interface. The results of
these tests were used for prototyping, which was evaluated and validated
by the user community of the Koodo Reader project. In conclusion, the
successful application of the Interface Content Modeling technique has
proven to be a tool that helps improve the quality of projects. It makes
it easier for the developer community to collaborate to improve the
end-user experience and make the project more appealing to users. This
case exemplifies how collaboration and teamwork in the OSS context can

Abstract = {The rising participation of for-profit corporations in the development
of open source software raises the question of why corporations are
motivated toward this engagement. The increased participation is an
observable phenomenon; many researchers and practitioners assume that
the practice of community sharing does not improve the bottom line, but
rather believe the practice is altruistic in nature. Our intuition is
that participation offers tangible and intangible benefits to corporate
participants. We show this by exploring a variety of models in game
theory and use game theory as a methodological lens to explain the
rationality of corporate participation in open source software
development. Since game theory has evolved to include rational- and
emotional-based reasons, we explore such lenses as cooperative games,
metagames, coopetition, and Drama Theory. Our research question, Why do
for-profit corporations participate in the development of open source
software? was broad enough to adopt several useful perspectives to
understand our data. One useful lens was game theory. In this article,
we examine interview responses and field study data from corporate
members of open source communities to determine how they justify
devoting time and effort to community engagement. Our study makes a
contribution to open source software literature by revealing that
numerous rational and emotional reasons exist for corporate
participation in open source software development.},

individual practitioners and organization to adopt software through
trial and error approach. This leads to the problems of coming across
software and then abandoning it after realizing its lack of important

Abstract = {Context: Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) communities consist of
different types of contributors. Core contributors and peripheral
contributors work together to create a successful project, each playing
a different role. One-Time Contributors (OTCs), who are on the very
fringe of the peripheral developers, are largely unstudied despite
offering unique insights into the development process. In a prior
survey, we identified OTCs and discovered their motivations and
barriers. Aims: The objective of this study is to corroborate the survey
results and provide a better understand of OTCs. We compare OTCs to
other peripheral and core contributors to determine whether they are
distinct. Method: We mined data from the same code-review repository
used to identify survey respondents in our previous study. After
identifying each contributor as core, periphery, or OTC, we compared
them in terms of patch size, time interval from submission to decision,
the nature of their conversations, and patch acceptance rates. Results:
We identified a continuum between core developers and OTCs. OTCs create
smaller patches, face longer time intervals between patch submission and
rejection, have longer review conversations, and face lower patch
acceptance rates. Conversely, core contributors create larger patches,
face shorter time intervals for feedback, have shorter review
conversations, and have patches accepted at the highest rate. The
peripheral developers fall in between the OTCs and the core
contributors. Conclusion: OTCs do, in fact, face the barriers identified
in our prior survey. They represent a distinct group of contributors
compared to core and peripheral developers.},

Abstract = {Health-tech startups are essential, as they provide cutting-edge
solutions to numerous healthcare concerns in the rapidly evolving
healthcare industry. They use various technologies to create solutions
that boost and advance healthcare systems and healthcare delivery.
Open-source software (OSS) technology has become an essential component
of startups' toolkits, providing various advantages, such as free access
to source codes and opportunities for innovation. Research on OSS in
healthcare startups is limited, so our study aims to investigate how
healthtech startups perceive the influence of OSS on product development
and to identify the challenges they face. To meet this objective, we
conducted an empirical study with six health-tech startups, using
semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysiswas performed on the
collected data to identify common themes and subthemes related to the
research objective. The findings showed that health-tech startups
benefit from the cost efficiency, scalability, and customization of OSS.
Open-source software tools, reshape development and promote efficient
code management, provide community support, and reduce costs. However,
they demand OSS knowledge, management of updates, regulatory compliance,
and heightened cybersecurity. Our study adds to the body of knowledge on
OSS and healthcare startups and the connection between them. We provide
recommendations for health-tech startups, such as embracing OSS tools
for their benefits, investing in education and training, and engaging
with the OSS community for comprehensive support in their product
development processes.},

Abstract = {The use of open-source software (OSS) is ever-increasing, and so is the
number of open-source vulnerabilities being discovered and publicly
disclosed. The gains obtained from the reuse of community-developed
libraries may be offset by the cost of detecting, assessing, and
mitigating their vulnerabilities in a timely manner.
In this paper we present a novel method to detect, assess and mitigate
OSS vulnerabilities that improves on state-of-the-art approaches, which
commonly depend on metadata to identify vulnerable OSS dependencies. Our
solution instead is code-centric and combines static and dynamic
analysis to determine the reachability of the vulnerable portion of
libraries used (directly or transitively) by an application. Taking this
usage into account, our approach then supports developers in choosing
among the existing non-vulnerable library versions.
Vulas, the tool implementing our code-centric and usage-based approach,
is officially recommended by SAP to scan its Java software, and has been
successfully used to perform more than 250000 scans of about 500
applications since December 2016. We report on our experience and on the
lessons we learned when maturing the tool from a research prototype to
an industrial-grade solution.},

Abstract = {Our recent studies on single releases of multiple open-source software
(OSS) products showed a higher concentration of dependencies in smaller
modules. For one of the products, it was observed that an isolatable and
observable refactoring initiative exacerbated this concentration
inequality. In this paper, we empirically investigate the dependency
concentration in smaller modules from a longitudinal perspective: (1)
whether this concentration inequality always exists over product life
time; (2) how it changes. We hypothesize that the concentration
inequality should either remain at same levels or increase over time.
This is because large-scale and long-lived software products usually go
through some degree of continuous and intermittent refactoring. Our
results show that dependencies concentrate in smaller classes in all
releases, and this concentration inequality generally increases over
successive releases. We suggest that software practitioners continuously
pay a higher QA attention to smaller modules. We also recommend
increasing such QA focus as a product matures and goes through
refactoring activities.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) is probably the best known exemplar of open
innovation, with many practitioner-oriented publications having debated
the merits and drawbacks of OSS in recent years. Nevertheless, much of
the academic research on OSS has focused on individual rather than
organizational issues. Hence while there is some understanding of why
individual developers and users opt for particular OSS applications,
relatively little is known about the adoption of OSS as a software
acquisition policy. This paper presents a study of 13 managers in the
secondary software sector in Europe, and examines how their perceptions
of the benefits and drawbacks of OSS affected their decision to adopt an
open source policy for software in their companies. The study reveals
how their perceptions of the business and technical benefits and
drawbacks of OSS influenced the technological, organizational,
environmental and individual factors considered within the adoption
process. The findings reveal that many of these factors are similar to
those reported by previous work on the adoption of innovation, leading
us to conclude that organizational processes for the adoption of open
innovation are reliant on the practices for closed innovation despite
frequently cited loss of organizational control associated with open
innovation.},

gravity and magnetic kernels},
Journal = {COMPUTERS \& GEOSCIENCES},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {144},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {Fast computation of three-dimensional gravity and magnetic forward
models is considered. When the measurement data is assumed to be
obtained on a uniform grid which is staggered with respect to the
discretization of the parameter volume, the resulting kernel sensitivity
matrices exhibit block-Toeplitz-Toeplitzblock (BTTB) structure. These
matrices are symmetric for the gravity problem but unsymmetric for the
magnetic problem. In each case, the structure facilitates fast forward
computation using two-dimensional fast Fourier transforms. The
construction of the kernel matrices and the application of the transform
for fast forward multiplication, for each problem, is carefully
described. But, for purposes of comparison with the non-transform
approach, the generation of the unique entries that define a given
kernel matrix is also explained. It is also demonstrated how the
matrices, and hence transforms, are adjusted when padding around the
volume domain is introduced. The transform algorithms for fast forward
matrix multiplication with the sensitivity matrix and its transpose,
without the direct construction of the relevant matrices, are presented.
Numerical experiments demonstrate the significant reduction in
computation time and memory requirements that are achieved using the
transform implementation. Thus, it becomes feasible, both in terms of
reduced memory requirements and computational time, to implement the
transform algorithms for large three-dimensional volumes. All presented
algorithms, including with variable padding, are coded for optimal
memory, storage and computation as an open source MATLAB code which can
be adapted for any convolution kernel which generates a BTTB matrix,
whether or not it is symmetric. This work, therefore, provides a general
tool for the efficient simulation of gravity and magnetic field data, as
well as any formulation which admits a sensitivity matrix with the
required structure.},

Abstract = {The automatic and real-time recognition of the user's emotional state is
a feature that can provide benefits for different areas of
Human-Computer Interaction. The scientific literature presents several
techniques that can be used to recognize the user's emotional state.
However, many techniques involve the use of sensors that can result in
financial costs and cause discomfort to the user. In this scenario, the
recognition of the emotional state through the analysis of facial
expressions presents itself as a useful and practical approach, since it
does not involve the use of sensors attached to the user's body and
executed in different types of devices. Despite these advantages,
software that allow the analysis of facial expressions for free are
still incipient, and performance evaluation of this type of software
usually is not available. In order to contribute to this context and
assist researchers who need this type of software, this study presents a
comparative analysis of two open-source emotion recognition software
({''}CLMTrackr{''} and ``Face-api.js{''}) simulating different
environmental conditions related to lighting and distance. Considering
images from two datasets, we generate 8675 videos simulating 25
different environmental conditions. Our results indicate that the
environmental conditions did not cause major impacts on the accuracy of
the software, and CLMTrackr and Face-api.js, presented, respectively,

Abstract = {Continuous monitoring of environmental parameters provides farmers with
useful information, which can improve the quality and productivity of
crops grown in greenhouses. The objective of this study was to develop a
greenhouse environment measurement system using a low-cost
microcontroller with open-source software. Greenhouse environment
parameters measured were air temperature, relative humidity, and carbon
dioxide (CO2) concentration. The ranges of the temperature, relative
humidity, and CO2 concentration were -40 to 120 degrees C, 0 to 100\%,
and 0 to 10,000 ppm, respectively. A 128 x 64 graphic LCD display was
used for real-time monitoring of the greenhouse environments. An Arduino
Uno R3 consisted of a USB interface for communicating with a computer, 6
analog inputs, and 14 digital input/output pins. A temperature/relative
humidity sensor was connected to digital pins 2 and 3. A CO2 sensor was
connected to digital pins 12 and 13. The LCD was connected to digital
pin 1 (TX). The sketches were programmed with the Arduino Software
(IDE). A measurement system including the Arduino board, sensors, and
accessories was developed (totaling \$244). Data for the environmental
parameters in a venlo-type greenhouse were obtained using this system
without any problems. We expect that the low-cost microcontroller using
open-source software can be used for monitoring the environments of
plastic greenhouses in Korea.},

Abstract = {As reported by Kevin Crowston and co-authors in a recent paper, free
open source software is a very important social phenomenon that involves
nearly one million programmers, a myriad of software development firms,
millions of users, and its financial impact is huge since for instance
the cost of recreating available free software is estimated in tens of
billions of euros. Free open source software projects generally have one
mailing list for developers and another one for users. This large number
of mailing lists changes constantly and shows a great variety with
respect to membership and topics covered. This makes them very difficult
to monitor. One way of overcoming this Big Data Challenge is to identify
some easily computable global indicators that can be used for instance
to detect important events. We illustrate this approach here by making a
social network analysis and comparison of developers' and users' mailing
lists of four free open source software projects: CentOS, GnuPG, Mailman
and Samba. We show that these mailing lists have some common
characteristics : the number of messages, the time durations and the
interlink times can be fitted using power and lognormal laws with
suitable scales and parameters; for the interlink time, the analysis is
done using the temporal delta density inspired by the delta density
introduced by Viard and Latapy. This similarity between the
characteristics of mailing lists also applies to the structure of
dominant groups. For the time evolution of the number of messages, GnuPG
exhibits a particular behavior. The interpretation of the different
parameters gives very interesting insights into the membership and the
type of topics covered by the mailing lists. The analysis carried out
here and similar studies cited in this paper can therefore be considered
as a first step towards the designing of building blocks for monitoring
mailing lists.},

Abstract = {This empirical paper shows how free/libre open source software (FLOSS)
contributes to mutual and collaborative learning in an educational
environment. Unlike proprietary software, FLOSS allows extensive
customisation of software to support the needs of local users better.
This also allows users to participate more proactively in the
development and implementation process of a FLOSS-based system. In this
paper, we observes how implementing FLOSS in an Italian high school
challenges the conventional relationship between end users themselves
(e.g. teachers and students) and that between users and developers. The
findings will shed some light on the social aspects of FLOSS-based
computerization - including the role of FLOSS in social and
organizational change in educational environments and the ways that the
social organization of FLOSS are influenced by social forces and social
practices. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

Title = {Reliability model of open source software considering fault introduction
with generalized inflection S-shaped distribution},
Journal = {SN APPLIED SCIENCES},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {4},
Number = {9},
Month = {SEP},
Abstract = {Recently, the open source software (OSS) reliability has become one of
hot issues. Owing to the uncertainty and complexity of OSS development,
testing and debugging environments, OSS are completed dynamically. When
detected faults are removed for OSS, they are likely to introduce new
faults. Moreover, under the different OSS debugging environments, fault
introduction will show different changes. For example, the fault
introduction rate shows a decrease change, or increasing first and then
decreasing change over time. Considering the complex and dynamic changes
in fault introduction, an OSS reliability model that fault introduction
obeys a generalized inflection S-shaped distribution is proposed in this
paper. Experimental results indicate that the fitting and predictive
performance of the proposed model is good. The established model in this
paper can adapt the dynamical and complicated changes of fault
introduction during OSS debugging. Moreover, the established model can
accurately forecast the number of remaining faults in OSS, and assist
developers to evaluate the actual OSS reliability.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) adoption in public administrations around the
world has been uneven. Despite the substantive economic and
efficiency-related implications of OSS adoption, there is surprisingly
little research into the determinants of the diffusion of OSS across
public sector jurisdictions. In this article we explore the variation in
OSS adoption among Dutch local administrations. The Dutch central
government adopted a policy to stimulate the use of OSS in the public
sector, but the non-mandatory character of the policy resulted in great
differences in the degree of adoption of OSS at the local level. Using
data from a new survey of municipalities in the Netherlands and
proportional odds statistical models to analyze the data, we show that
the degree of OSS adoption crucially depends on the presence of boundary
spanners and political commitment within the local government On the
other hand, oft-suspected factors like financial stress and jurisdiction
size have no discernible effects. Our findings have implications for
understanding the spread of OSS in the public sector and for public
policies designed to encourage OSS diffusion. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc All

Title = {PING-Mapper: Open-Source Software for Automated Benthic Imaging and
Mapping Using Recreation-Grade Sonar},
Journal = {EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {9},
Number = {9},
Month = {SEP},
Abstract = {The characterization of benthic habitats is essential for aquatic
ecosystem science and management, but is frequently limited by waterbody
visibility and depth. Recreation-grade side-scan sonar systems are
increasingly used to aid scientific inquiries in aquatic environments
due to their relative low-cost, ease of operation, low-weight, and ease
of mounting on a variety of vessels. However, existing procedures and
software for post-processing these data are either limited, closed
source, or fail on data from new sonar models, limiting the development
of reproducible workflows. Here, we present PING-Mapper, an open-source
and freely available side-scan sonar post-processing toolset for
processing and mapping sonar recordings from popular Humminbird
instruments. The modular software automatically: (a) decodes sonar
recordings from any Humminbird system, (b) exports ping attributes from
every sonar channel, (c) uses sonar sensor depth for water column
removal, and (d) exports sonogram tiles and georectified mosaics. Sonar
channels are processed in parallel for quick decoding and metadata
extraction. Major processing wokflows, including georectification and
image export, are optimized to scale with computing resources. The
software has been extensively tested using data from several rivers of
varying character and distribution of depths, but could also be used in
estuarine and lacustrine environments. Usage of PING-Mapper is
illustrated in three case studies focused on mapping large woody debris,
bathymetric mapping, and visual interpretation and mapping of substrates
for selected reaches of the Pearl and Pascagoula river systems in
Mississippi.
Plain Language Summary Side-scan sonar instruments provide a way to
survey and visualize the bottom of rivers, lakes, or oceans. Since the
early 2000s, companies catering predominantly to anglers have
manufactured recreation-grade side-scan sonar systems to aid fishermen
in locating fish and identifying potential hazards. Scientists seeking
to understand and manage aquatic habitats used these systems to create
grayscale images of water bottoms because they are inexpensive, easy to
operate, and require minimal mounting equipment on the boat. Software
has been created by companies to process these data, but the underlying
processing workflow and computer code are not publicly available, making
it difficult to reproduce and compare results across studies. Other
publicly available approaches and software are either outdated, not
maintained, or not free. That is why we made PING-Mapper, a freely
available software developed in an increasingly popular programming
language called Python. We designed the software to work on any computer
to export the data sets quickly and efficiently. The scientific use of
exported data sets is demonstrated with three case studies focused on
locating and mapping targets (specifically large trees and branches),
creating depth maps, and visually discerning the distributions of common
substrates, such as sand and cobble.},

Abstract = {Nowadays, small and medium-sized enterprises (further SME) look for ways
to overcome pressing social problems. An open-software-based application
can be considered a powerful tool for this task, because of
functionalities such as data management, BI operation, and efficient

Innovation (SI). The aim of this research is to investigate how the use
of FLOSS relates to the ability of SMEs to implement SI. The author aims
to underline key areas in which FLOSS supported implementation of SI. A
set of recommendations for future initiatives is created based on the
experience of successful implementation. Based on a review of
literature, the author created a set of hypotheses which are validated
by the in-depth surveys with three companies in the SME sector. The
article structure is as follows: first the author presents literature
findings concerning the subject, and next the areas of the model and
survey answers. Finally, the author performs a critical review of the
model, confirming that open software can stimulate the process of
developing social innovation in SMEs, especially in cost reduction,
flexibility, and community support.},

issues in the open-source software (OSS) packages to assist developers

The proposed model quantifies the complexity in the source code using
the Shannon entropy measure. In addition, the issues fixing growth
behavior is viewed as a function of continuation time of the software in
the field environment and amount of uncertainty or complexity present in
the source code. Therefore, a two-dimensional function called
Cobb-Douglas production function is applied to model the intensity
function of the issues fixing rate. Furthermore, the rate of fixing the
different issue types is considered variable that may alter after
certain time points. Thus, this study incorporates the concept of
multiple change-points to predict and assess the fixing behavior of
issues in the software system. The performance of the proposed model is
validated by fitting the proposed model to the actual issues data of
three open-source projects. Findings of the data analysis exhibit
excellent prediction and estimation capability of the model.},

Abstract = {Due to the continuous dependence of society on technology and the fast

industry to shift to multi-release software development. To include the
revisions in user demands and testing environment, factors that affect

Software Reliability Growth Models based on the Non-Homogenous Poisson

Title = {Competition Among Proprietary and Open-Source Software Firms: The Role
of Licensing in Strategic Contribution},

Volume = {67},
Number = {5},

Abstract = {In enterprise software markets, firms are increasingly using
services-based business models built on open-source software (OSS) to
compete with established, proprietary software firms. Because
third-party firms can also strategically contribute to OSS and compete
in the services market, the nature of competition between OSS
constituents and proprietary software firms can be complex. Moreover,
their incentives are likely influenced by the licensing schemes that
govern OSS. We study a three-player game and examine how open-source
licensing affects competition among an open-source originator, an
open-source contributor, and a proprietor competing in an enterprise
software market. In this regard, we examine (1) how quality investments
and prices are endogenously determined in equilibrium, (2) how license
restrictiveness impacts equilibrium investments and the quality of
offerings, and (3) how license restrictiveness affects consumer surplus
and social welfare. Although some in the open-source community often
advocate restrictive licenses such as theGNUGeneral Public License
because it is not always in the best interest of the originator for the
contributor to invest greater development effort, such licensing can
actually be detrimental to both consumer surplus and social welfare when
it exacerbates this incentive conflict. We find such an outcome in
markets characterized by software providers with similar development
capabilities yet cast in favor of the proprietor. In contrast, when
these capabilities either become more dispersed or remain similar but
tilt in favor of open source, a more restrictive license instead
encourages greater effort from the OSS contributor, leads to higher OSS
quality, and provides a larger societal benefit.},

Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {The authors developed a non-proprietary web-browser based open-source
software that allows users to visualize and evaluate hydrologic
space-time data in an interactive environment. Hydrovise is client-side
browser-based software that interprets a configuration file to construct
control elements in the Graphical User Interface for visualizations of
space-time data and model simulation evaluations. It leverages the
concept of three-dimensional data cubes that facilitate query in space,
time, and variable dimension(s) without the requirement for a database
system. Using a configuration file, users can define data sources as
local file system resources and or external data sources (e.g., online
data services). This capability makes Hydrovise a flexible and portable
solution where users can share their hydrologic data in an interactive
web environment. This paper provides the software description with four
distinct example use cases including, but not limited to, time-series
data visualization and evaluation, grid-based and river network-based
data visualizations.},

Abstract = {Data centre equipment are very sensitive and susceptible to
environmental damage from excessive heat. Power outages can lead to
overheated servers in a matter of minutes. It is therefore mandatory to
monitor the ambient temperature of the data centre or network room
continuously and take necessary action if temperature exceeds the
threshold limit. Manual 24x7 monitoring requires additional man power
and is not an efficient approach. The paper presents an effective and
cost efficient mechanism to automate this process using open source
software's and tools. We have utilized the inbuilt temperature sensing
capabilities of the managed network switches to build such a system.
Thus the system has been designed without the use of additional
temperature monitoring sensors. The system has been implemented in our
organization and has helped in reducing the failure rate of the network
switches from 2\% to 0\%, thus helping in maintaining 99.98\% uptime of
the network.},

Objective: The aim of our research is to adapt a usability technique
(visual brainstorming) to an OSS project and evaluate the feasibility of
its application.
Method: We used the case study research method to investigate technique
application and participation in a project. To do this, we participated
as volunteers in the HistoryCal project.
Results: We identified adverse conditions that were an obstacle to
technique application (like it was not easy to recruit OSS users to
participate) and modified the technique to make it applicable.
Conclusion: We conclude that these changes were helpful for applying the
technique using web artifacts like blogs.},

Title = {Changes in free and open source software licenses: managerial
interventions and variations on project attractiveness},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF INTERNET SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {8},
Month = {AUG 7},
Abstract = {The license adopted by an open source software is associated with its
success in terms of attractiveness and maintenance of an active
ecosystem of users, bug reporters, developers, and sponsors because what
can and cannot be done with the software and its derivatives in terms of
improvement and market distribution depends on legal terms there
specified. By knowing this licensing effect through scientific
publications and their experience, project managers became able to act
strategically, loosening up the restrictions associated with their
source code due to sponsor interests, for example; or the contrary,
tightening restrictions up to guarantee source code openness, adhering
to the ``forever free{''} strategy. But, have project managers behaved
strategically like that, changing their projects license? Up to this
paper, we did not know if and what types of changes in these legal
allowances project managers have made and, more importantly, whether
such managerial interventions are associated with variations in
intervened project attractiveness (i.e., related to their numbers of web
hits, downloads and members). This paper accomplishes these two goals
and demonstrates that: 1) managers of free and open source software
projects do change the distribution rights of their source code through
a change in the (group of) license(s) adopted; and 2) variations in
attractiveness are associated with the strategic choice of a licensing
schema. To reach these conclusions, a unique dataset of open source
projects that have changed license was assembled in a comparative form,
analyzing intervened projects over its monthly periods of different
licenses. Based on a sample of more than 3500 active projects over 44
months obtained from the FLOSSmole repository of Sourceforge.net, 756
projects that had changed their source code distribution allowances and
restrictions were identified and analyzed. A dataset on these projects'
type of changes was assembled to enable a descriptive and exploratory
analysis of the types of license interventions observed over a period of
almost four years anchored on projects' attractiveness. More than 35
types of interventions were detected. The results indicate that
variations in attractiveness after a license intervention are not
symmetric; that is, if a change from license schema A to B is beneficial
to attractiveness, a change from B to A is not necessarily prejudicial.
This and other interesting findings are discussed in detail. In general,
the results here reported support the current literature knowledge that
the restrictions imposed by the license on the source code distribution
are associated with market success vis-a-vis project attractiveness, but
they also suggest that the state-of-the-science is superficial in terms
of what is known about why these differences in attractiveness can be
observed. The complexity of the results indicates to free software
managers that no licensing schema should be seen as the right one, and
its choice should be carefully made, considering project strategic goals
as perceived relevant to stakeholders of the application and its
production. These conclusions create awareness of several limitations of
our current knowledge, which are discussed along with guidelines to
understand them deeper in future research endeavors.},

Abstract = {Open development has emerged as a method for creating versatile and
complex products through free collaboration of individuals. This free
collaboration gathers globally distributed teams. Similarly, it is
common today to view businesses and other human organisations as
ecosystems, where several participating companies and organisations
cooperate and compete together. As an example, Free/Libre Open Source
Software ( FLOSS) development is one area where community driven
development provides a plausible platform for both development of
products and establishing a software ecosystem where a set of businesses
contribute their own innovations. Equally, open and informal learning
environments and open innovation platforms are also gaining ground.
While such initiatives are not limited to any specific area, they
typically offer a technological, legal, social, and economic framework
for development, relying always on people as open development would not
exist without the active participation of them. This paper explores the
participation of master students in FLOSS projects, while merging two
different settings of learning: formal and open/informal education.},

Abstract = {Information technology governance is necessary for the IT area to
maintain its alignment with the organizational strategy. Appropriate
management tools in free software, in addition to reducing the necessary
investments in software, enable the development of new functionalities
and also provide for local technological development. An association is
made between free software and social technology, due to their mutual
characteristics, in which technology is developed and shared by the
community, providing autonomy and independence. The objective is to
raise knowledge and application of information technology governance
using free tools. To achieve this goal, a literature review on IT
governance and free software was carried out, with a focus on
Gestionnaire Libre de Parc Informatique (GLPI). Then, a research with
exploratory-descriptive objective, qualitative-quantitative approach,
with field research procedures and case study was carried out. Data were
obtained through the application of a questionnaire, being the case unit
the Federal Institute of Sao Paulo. It was applied as analysis method:
content analysis, comparative analysis and, finally, a descriptive
analysis. As a result, it was observed that governance brings the
proposal of transparency in the use of technologies, human resources and
actions performed in society, by society and for society. It is
concluded that the results achieved can contribute to expand the
knowledge about the application of information technology governance
practices and the use of free software in that institution and other
related institutions, improvement in the services rendered to the

Abstract = {Knowledge sharing is a key aspect for a community of practice. Free
software communities can be considered communities of practice, since
they aggregate people interested in donating and collecting, that is,
sharing knowledge about free software. According to the literature, the
donation and collection of knowledge are motivated by different factors
and these motivations may vary depending on the context. Free software
communities may include members from different countries and
backgrounds, which can make keeping such communities active and vigorous
a challenge. This study aims to identify the motivations for knowledge
sharing behaviour that are susceptible to leadership actions in free
software communities. The research was carried out in three phases.
First, a qualitative study involving twenty semi-structured interviews
was conducted among members of a free software community, who suggested
sixteen motivations for knowledge sharing behaviour. These motivations
were then organized into three groups, each with a specific focus: three
motivations only influence knowledge collection and focus on the
knowledge itself; nine motivations only influence knowledge donation and
focus on the individual; and four motivations influence both knowledge
collection and knowledge donation, and focus on the relationships among
individuals. After that, based on the groups of motivation identified in
the previous phase, five leaders from different communities of practice
were interviewed with the aim of identifying the main motivations that
would be susceptible to their actions, which were knowledge quality,
ease of access to knowledge, recognition, community support for
knowledge sharing, learning and professional reasons. Finally, these six
main motivations indicated by the leaders were tested in a quantitative
phase involving 260 members of different free software communities. The
results show that learning and ease of access to knowledge influence
knowledge collection; recognition, community support for knowledge
sharing and knowledge collection influence knowledge donation; and
professional reasons influence both knowledge collection and knowledge
donation in the context of free software communities.},

collaboratively develop the software and provide support through the use

that its many advantages can be realised. The method can, however, seem
very disorgamsed especially when compared with traditional proprietary
development styles. A key difference between these two development
approaches lies in the management of projects, and perhaps as a
consequence, in the level of formality in the community environment.
This paper presents the results of empirical survey research
investigating FOSS community participants' views on the level of
formality in FOSS, and the way in which this affects both development
and support provision activities. The paper then concludes by analysing
what can be learnt from the participant's views.},

Abstract = {Network structures of OSS (Open Source Software) development communities
are becoming more and more complicated. Various mining techniques have
been applied to the repositories of OSS communities. However, structure
analysis of OSS development community evolution has not been

Model), a new class of graph models to define the OSS development
community. Based on the SCGM, we propose a structural analysis method of
OSS development community evolution. To automate the analysis method, a
prototype system is implemented with the graph DB Neo4j. We applied the
proposed method and prototype system to four major machine learning OSS
communities, Caffe, Chainer, Jubatus, and Tensorflow, for over five
years on GitHub. From the analysis, we discovered three novel
characteristics of community evolution, 1) three layered community
evolution models consisting of the Core, Semi-core and Non-core members,
2) three developer growth patterns in terms of contribution behavior,
and 3) evolutional changes according to the interaction among
developers, which is a major contribution of this work. Based on the
experiments, we demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the
proposed method.},

open source software (OSS) projects is the collaborative nature of OSS
development. However, the collaborative structure of these communities
largely remains unclear, partly due to the enormous scale of data to be
gathered, processed, and analyzed.
In this work, we utilize the World Of Code dataset, which contains
commit activity data for millions of OSS projects, to build
collaboration networks for ten popular programming language ecosystems,
containing in total over 290M commits across over 18M projects. We build
a collaboration graph representation for each language ecosystem, having
authors and projects as nodes, which enables various forms of social
network analysis on the scale of language ecosystems. Moreover, we
capture the information on the ecosystems' evolution by slicing each
network into 30 historical snapshots. Additionally, we calculate
multiple collaboration metrics that characterise the ecosystems' states.
We make the resulting dataset publicly available\% including the
constructed graphs and the pipeline enabling the analysis of more
ecosystems.},

Abstract = {Game engines (GEs) constitute a powerful platform for visualizing real
geographies in immersive virtual space, and in the last two years,
remarkable strides have been made by the leading providers of Geographic
Information System (GIS) software and services, including Esri and
Cesium, toward integrating their products in GEs. Notwithstanding the
strengths of GEs, they lack support for many common GIS file formats,
and there exist only limited georeferencing possibilities. Visualizing
large-scale geolocations involves high authoring costs, and the
shortcomings of GEs further complicate the workflow. In this paper, we
present a workflow and its implementation for creating large immersive
virtual environments that accurately represent real-world urban areas.
The benefits of the presented development are threefold. First, it makes
the process more efficient by automating multiple steps and
incorporating a large portion of the workflow inside the GE. Second, it
facilitates an interactive framework by allowing the developer to
efficiently extend the scene components with functionalities and
interactions. Third, it entirely relies on open-source software and
data, making it suitable for many non-commercial domains. To showcase
the effectiveness of the tool, we created a virtual replica of an actual
city consisting of the terrain, the streets, and the buildings.},

Abstract = {Software systems need to continually evolve during their life cycle. It
is, therefore, important to monitor how their quality evolves so that
quality assurance activities can be properly planned. In this paper, we
analyze empirically the quality evolution of an open source software
system (Apache Tomcat). We address software quality from an external
perspective. We used the number of defects as a quality indicator. We
wanted to investigate if the Qi (Quality Assurance Indicator) metric,
which we proposed in a previous work, can be used to observe how
quality, measured in terms of defects, evolves in the presence of
changes. We performed an empirical analysis using historical data
collected from the subject system covering a period of more than seven
years (thirty-one versions). Results are reported and discussed in the
paper.},

activities are heavily influenced by various research philosophies and
sampling strategies. Within long-term environmental research (LTER)
projects data on flows of individuals, chemical substances and other
biotic and abiotic materials are collected by different project partners
and institutions. This leads not only to different data bases, but also
to incomparable data sets. Therefore, a virtual research environment
(VRE) for research projects concerning environmental management should
be worked out. The facilities of data sharing, interactive data
collaboration and data storage as well as the communication within a
project team by metadata are in the focus of a VRE which have to be
optimised by WEB 2.0 and other collaboration tools. From this background
the FOSS application ``GeoNetwork - Opensource{''} (GNOS) is aimed to be
used as a central component for data management in a VRE.},

Abstract = {This research activity, conducted in collaboration with the Aero-Naval

Special Commissioner for urgent measures of reclamation, environmental
improvements and redevelopment of Taranto's measurement, is based on the
use of a high-resolution airborne sensor, mounted on board a helicopter
to identify and map all in operation and abandoned mussel farming in the
first and second inlet of Mar Piccolo. In addition, factors able to
compromise the environmental status of the Mar Piccolo ecosystem were
also evaluated. The methodological workflow developed lets extract
significant individual frames from the captured video tracks, improves
images by applying five image processing algorithms, georeferences the
individual frames based on flight data, and implements the processed
data in a thematic Geographical Information System. All mussel farms, in
operation and derelict, all partially submerged and/or water-coated
invisible to navigation poles and other elements such as illegal fishing
nets and marine litter on the seabed up to about 2 m deep, have been
identified and mapped. The creation of an instant, high-precision
cartographic representation made it possible to identify the
anthropogenic pressures on the Mar Piccolo of Taranto and the necessary
actions for better management of the area.},

Title = {A Smart Factory Architecture Based on Industry 4.0 Technologies:
Open-Source Software Implementation},
Journal = {IEEE ACCESS},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {11},
Pages = {101727-101749},
Abstract = {The Smart Factory has been a concept studied during the last decade that
has not been standardized yet; for this reason, the academy and industry
have developed a wide variety of new architectures that describe the
integration of elements for digitization and interconnection. The
present research aims to introduce a new architecture proposal for
migrating traditional (automation) to smart (digitization) factories,
implemented through open-source software. The proposed architecture is
integrated, for the first time, by the interconnection of six main
elements: cyber-physical systems, edge computing, artificial
intelligence, cloud computing, data analytics, and cybersecurity; the
research describes in detail their definitions, sub-elements, the
interconnection between elements, and the minimum requirements for
implementation. The test of the proposed smart factory was done through
a scale smart factory pilot testing for a pick and place process, where
the assembly of wood pieces from the geometric Tangram's puzzle was
required; for this reason, the pilot testing includes a
six-degree-of-freedom robot arm, a conveyor, a vision system, and a
storage area. The case study conducted in this research allowed the
assembly of four puzzles (fish, house, rocket, and swan) that were
assembled with four different batches of pieces. The implementation
allowed testing flexibility and adaptability. The final assembly reports
included the status of assembly, the number of pieces assembled, the
number of pieces stored, the assembly sequence, and the assembly time.
Similarly, the development of the SCADA system allowed asset control as
well as asset monitoring. The KPIs of the assembly process measured
productivity (OTD) and time tracking (ATCT and TA) of the 16 tests,
founding that the interconnection and digitization of the scale
manufacturing cell were fully integrated and allowed repeatability; the
proposed SF architecture represents an alternative for the small and
medium automated factories to achieve interconnection and digitization,
and it is ready to be tested in a more complex scenario.},

Abstract = {Software development environment has been changing into new development
paradigms such as concurrent distributed development environment and the
so-called open source project by using network computing technologies.
In case of considering the effect of the debugging process on an entire
system in the development of a method of reliability assessment for open
source project, it is necessary to grasp the deeply-intertwined factors,
such as programming path, size of each component, skill of fault
reporter, and so on. In order to consider the effect of each software
component on the reliability of an entire system under such new
distributed development paradigm, we propose a new approach to software
reliability assessment by creating a fusion of neural network and
software reliability growth model. In this paper, we show application
examples of software reliability assessment based on neural network and
software reliability growth model for open source software. Also, we
analyze actual software fault count data to show numerical examples of
software reliability assessment for the open source software. Then, we
consider the efficiency and effectiveness of the software reliability
assessment method for the actual open source software.},

software can batch-process multidimensional images with an advanced
single-cell segmentation capability and apply userdefined mathematical
operations on spectra to calculate biophysical and metabolic parameters
of single cells. VISION allows for 3D and temporal mapping of properties
such as membrane fluidity and mitochondrial potential. We demonstrate
the broad applicability of VISION by applying it to study the effect of
various drugs on cellular biophysical properties. the correlation
between membrane fluidity and mitochondrial potential, protein
distribution in cell-cell contacts and properties of nanodomains in
cell-derived vesicles. Together with the code, we provide a graphical

UISCEmod contains both experimental and lumped hydrological models, and
the calibration process is automated following a Bayesian approach. The
main outputs of UISCEmod include volume, stage, inflow and outflow model
time series, calibrated model parameters, and the associated
uncertainties. UISCEmod was evaluated at 16 representative sites in
Ireland obtaining Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) and Kling-Gupta
Efficiency (KGE) above 0.85 for both stage and volume time series for
most of the sites, showing its potential for covering the need for a
simple, pragmatic, and flexible framework for modelling water levels in

Particles in Biorelevant Media},
Journal = {NANOMATERIALS},
Year = {2022},

Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {The study of particle transport in different environments plays an
essential role in understanding interactions with humans and other
living organisms. Importantly, obtained data can be directly used for
multiple applications in fields such as fundamental biology, toxicology,
or medicine. Particle movement in biorelevant media can be readily
monitored using microscopy and converted into time-resolved trajectories
using freely available tracking software. However, translation into
tangible and meaningful parameters is time consuming and not always
intuitive. We developed new software-MPTHub-as an open-access,
standalone, user-friendly tool for the rapid and reliable analysis of
particle trajectories extracted from video microscopy. The software was
programmed using Python and allowed to import and analyze trajectory
data, as well as to export relevant data such as individual and ensemble
time-averaged mean square displacements and effective diffusivity, and
anomalous transport exponent. Data processing was reliable, fast (total
processing time of less than 10 s), and required minimal memory
resources (up to a maximum of around 150 MB in random access memory).
Demonstration of software applicability was conducted by studying the
transport of different polystyrene nanoparticles (100-200 nm) in mucus
surrogates. Overall, MPTHub represents a freely available software tool
that can be used even by inexperienced users for studying the transport
of particles in biorelevant media.},

Abstract = {Development of models and dedicated numerical methods for dynamics in
fractured rocks is an active research field, with research moving
towards increasingly advanced process couplings and complex fracture
networks. The inclusion of coupled processes in simulation models is
challenged by the high aspect ratio of the fractures, the complex
geometry of fracture networks, and the crucial impact of processes that
completely change characteristics on the fracture-rock interface. This
paper provides a general discussion of design principles for introducing
fractures in simulators, and defines a framework for integrated
modeling, discretization, and computer implementation. The framework is
implemented in the open-source simulation software PorePy, which can
serve as a flexible prototyping tool for multiphysics problems in
fractured rocks. Based on a representation of the fractures and their
intersections as lower-dimensional objects, we discuss data structures
for mixed-dimensional grids, formulation of multiphysics problems, and
discretizations that utilize existing software. We further present
aPythonimplementation of these concepts in the PorePy open-source
software tool, which is aimed at coupled simulation of flow and
transport in three-dimensional fractured reservoirs as well as
deformation of fractures and the reservoir in general. We present
validation by benchmarks for flow, poroelasticity, and fracture
deformation in porous media. The flexibility of the framework is then
illustrated by simulations of non-linearly coupled flow and transport
and of injection-driven deformation of fractures. All results can be
reproduced by openly available simulation scripts.},

Resource-limited countries have lagged behind because of challenges in
information technology infrastructure and public health resources. The
Suite for Automated Global Electronic bioSurveillance (SAGES) is a
collection of modular, open-source software tools designed to meet the
challenges of electronic disease surveillance in resource-limited
settings. Individual SAGES tools may be used in concert with existing
surveillance applications or en masse for an end-to-end biosurveillance
capability. This flexibility allows for the development of an
inexpensive, customized, and sustainable disease surveillance system.
The ability to rapidly assess anomalous disease activity may lead to

Abstract = {The objective of this paper is to provide an illustrative feedback on
development of Open Source software among several partners. We describe
the first stage of the design of a specific software package, namely a
customized Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for biology
applications. This software package is structured in several modules
which are reusable and can be customized for other applications. In this
paper, we address the problem of multi-licensing for the same software
tools due to the participation of several partners, the reuse of code
source, and the subsequent distribution of this produced software.},

Abstract = {A review of current trends in scientific computing reveals a broad shift
to open-source and higher-level programming languages such as Python and
growing career opportunities over the next decade. Open-source modeling
tools accelerate innovation in equation-based and data-driven
applications. Significant resources have been deployed to develop
data-driven tools (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn) from tech
companies that rely on machine learning services to meet business needs
while keeping the foundational tools open. Open-source equation-based
tools such as Pyomo, CasADi, Gekko, and JuMP are also gaining momentum
according to user community and development pace metrics. Integration of
data-driven and principles-based tools is emerging. New compute
hardware, productivity software, and training resources have the
potential to radically accelerate progress. However, long-term support
mechanisms are still necessary to sustain the momentum and maintenance
of critical foundational packages.},

This tool is an unwritten standard not only for many school systems, but

disadvantage of this program is the high price, which is very
restrictive for use in an academic environment, whether in the classroom

for their possible future practice. Currently, there are two tools that
could replace the proprietary software. These are programs SOFA (http://

The research aims to compare options and tools SOFA PSPP with IBM SPSS

Abstract = {As open source software products have evolved over time to satisfy a
variety of demands from increasing users, they have become large and
complex in general. Open source developers often face with challenges in
fixing a considerable amount of bugs which are reported into a bug
tracking system on a daily basis. As a result, he mean time to resolve
bugs has been protracted in these days. In order to reduce the mean time
to resolve bugs, managers/leaders of open source projects need to
identify and understand the bottleneck of a bug modification process in
their own projects. In this paper, we propose an analysis method which
represents a bug modification process using a bug tracking system as a
state transition diagram and then calculates the amount of time required
to transit between states. We have conducted a case study using Firefox
and Apache project data to confirm the usefulness of the analysis
method. From the results of the case study, we have found that the
method helped to reveal that both of the projects took a lot of time to
verify results of bug modifications by developers.},

Abstract = {Discovering Open Source Software (OSS) components efficiently is not
always an easy task. Node.js is a popular JavaScript runtime
environment, whereas Rust is widely used for system programming, and
both can be utilized for OSS discovery purposes. In this work, we
examine whether Rust and Node.js can be used, along with their
respective tooling and package repositories, in order to achieve
improved discoverability of existing OSS implemented in C/C++. The paper
describes how the capabilities of Rust in C/C++ interoperability can be
combined with novel compilation techniques of low-level code to asm.js
and WebAssembly, in order to harness JavaScript's popularity as the
medium to publicize hard to discover C/C++ OSS. A proposed incremental
methodology is presented and the main, as well as the collateral,
effects of enforcing the proposed methodology in a proof-of-concept
situation are examined. Our findings indicate potential increase in
discoverability, code quality, portability, along with viable
performance degradation of portable binaries, demonstrating 8.7 times
slower execution compared to machine code, in a worst-case scenario.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) projects are contingent on volunteer
developers and voluntary contributions from users, accordingly,
traditional performance measures used for software projects, like being
on time and budget, and satisfying specifications, may not be relevant
for such projects. Although researchers have studied some predictors of
OSS project performance, there is a lack of empirical work that studies
the impact of project capabilities on the performance of OSS projects.
Therefore, this paper studies project capabilities as potential
predictors of OSS project performance. The data, gathered from 607 OSS
projects over time (in two snap-shots), were consistent with Dynamic
Capability Theory (DCT). In other words, the results showed that in
order to achieve higher project performance, OSS projects need to have
strong capabilities in terms of proactive and efficient defect-removal
as well as proactive and efficient functionality-enhancement. The
implications of these results for the OSS research community are
discussed, followed by recommendations for OSS practitioners. (C) 2011

Atrioventricular Canal Valve Using Open-Source Software},

Abstract = {Background: Repair of complete atrioventricular canal (CAVC) is often
complicated by residual left atrioven-tricular valve regurgitation. The
structure of the mitral and tricuspid valves in biventricular hearts has
previously been shown to be associated with valve dysfunction. However,
the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the entire unrepaired CAVC valve
has not been quantified. Understanding the 3D structure of the CAVC may
inform optimized repair.Methods: Novel open-source work flows were
created in SlicerHeart for the modeling and quantification of CAVC
valves on the basis of 3D echocardiographic images. These methods were
applied to model the annulus, leaflets, and papillary muscle (PM)
structure of 35 patients (29 with trisomy 21) with CAVC using trans
-thoracic 3D echocardiography. The mean leaflet and annular shapes were
calculated and visualized using shape analysis. Metrics of the complete
native CAVC valve structure were compared with those of normal mitral
valves using the Mann-Whitney U test. Associations between CAVC
structure and atrioventricular valve regurgitation were
analyzed.Results: CAVC leaflet metrics varied throughout systole.
Compared with normal mitral valves, the left CAVC PMs were more acutely
angled in relation to the annular plane (P < .001). In addition, the
anterolateral PM was laterally and inferiorly rotated in CAVC, while the
posteromedial PM was more superiorly and laterally rotated, relative to
normal mitral valves (P < .001). Lower native CAVC atrioventricular
valve annular height and annular height-to-valve width ratio before
repair were both associated with moderate or greater left
atrio-ventricular valve regurgitation after repair (P <
.01).Conclusions: It is feasible to model and quantify 3D CAVC structure
using 3D echocardiographic images. The results demonstrate significant
variation in CAVC structure across the cohort and differences in
annular, leaflet, and PM structure compared with the mitral valve. These
tools may be used in future studies to catalyze future research intended
to identify structural associations of valve dysfunction and to optimize
repair in this vulnerable and complex population. (J Am Soc Echocardiogr

Abstract = {Background: Rhinoplasty is one of the most frequent aesthetic surgeries;
the procedure can be challenging for inexperienced surgeons, and
positive outcomes depend on good communication with the patient, proper
planning, and precise execution. Three-dimensional (3D) technology has
emerged to address these issues, but specific software for 3D planning
tends to be expensive.
Objectives: This study presents a simple, low-cost method for 3D
simulation to plan rhinoplasty.
Methods: This preliminary report describes 3D rhinoplasty planning in a
series of 3 cases employing free software and an add-on especially
developed for rhinoplasty (Blender and RhinOnBlender, respectively). The
photogrammetry protocol, which can be performed easily with a
smartphone, is described in detail along with all the steps in 3D
planning.
Results: The software and add-on automated the process, making the tool
environment accessible to surgeons who are not familiar with graphic
design software. The surgeries were uneventful in all cases, and the
patients were satisfied with the outcomes.
Conclusions: 3D graphic technology has provided significant advances in
health research, improvement, and teaching for surgeons and
communication between surgeons and patients. Free open-source software
and add-ons are excellent options that offer proven utility,
affordability, and ease of utilization to healthcare providers.},

Abstract = {Software maintainability is measured as the ease with which the existing
software could be modified and often predicted during the development
stage on the basis of some measurable design characteristics.
Controlling the software maintainability and understandability of any
open source software (OSS) system is extremely challenging because it is
written and constantly modified by the developers located all over the
world. The current study analyzes the effectiveness of machine learning
(ML) techniques for the maintainability prediction of OSS systems. In
this work large-scale empirical comparisons of thirteen classifiers over
seven open source datasets were conducted followed by extensive
statistical tests and post hoc analysis to establish the confidence on
the performance of one ML technique over another. The results show two
important findings: firstly, we observed that overall good prediction
accuracy is achieved by almost all ML techniques; secondly the
prediction models using genetically adaptive learning ML technique and
group method of data handling (GMDH) technique perform better than the
other ML techniques in the context of OSS systems. The outcome of this
investigation would be helpful for developers in order to predict
maintenance behavior of the software at the earlier stages of software
development lifecycle (SDLC). Accordingly, they can optimize their
resource allocations, prioritize maintenance tasks and produce
high-quality low maintenance software systems. Additionally, it also has
numerous other applications such as schedule planning, cost estimation,
quality assurance testing, software debugging, budget preparation, and
software performance optimization.},

Title = {Flourish or Perish? The Impact of Technological Acquisitions on
Contributions to Open-Source Software},
Journal = {INFORMATION SYSTEMS RESEARCH},
Year = {2021},
Month = {2021 DEC 22},
Abstract = {This study examines the impact of technological acquisitions on
contributions to firm-sponsored community-based open-source software
(OSS). We distinguish between internal contributors affiliated with
target firms and external contributors from the community, and examine
how they respond to technological acquisitions differently.
Theoretically, we examine how technological acquisition influences
contributors' uncertainty about project quality through a signaling
effect and influences their uncertainty about project continuity through
potential resource combination. We connect uncertainties with
contributors' motivations to theorize their responses to acquisitions.
Empirically, we find that external contributors contribute more actively
to both target firms' sponsored projects and other projects in the OSS
community after acquisitions, which contrast with the adverse effects of
acquisitions observed in traditional corporate innovation. Although
internal contributors reduce contributions to target firms' sponsored
projects after acquisitions, they increase contributions to other OSS
projects in the community. We also find that the acquirer's OSS
experience and the project similarity between the acquirer and the
target drive both external and internal contributors to shift their
development efforts to the acquirer's projects and other projects in the
OSS community. By examining these effort shifts in OSS contributions,
our study generates unique theoretical insights about the impacts of
technological acquisitions in the OSS context and important practical
implications for acquirers, target firms, and the general OSS community.},

Title = {Exploring the communication functions of comments during bug fixing in
Open Source Software projects},
Journal = {INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {136},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {Context: Bug fixing is a frequent and important task in Open Source
Software (OSS) development and involves the communication of messages,
which can serve for multiple purposes and affect the efficiency and
effectiveness of corrective software activities.
Objective: This work is aimed at studying the communication functions of
bug comments and their associations with fast and complete bug fixing in
OSS development.
Method: Over 500K comments and 89K bugs of 100 OSS projects were
extracted from three Issue Tracking Systems. Six thousand comments were
manually tagged to create a corpus of communication functions. The
extracted comments were automatically tagged using machine learning
algorithms and the corpus of communication functions. Statistical and
correlation analyses were performed and the most frequent comments
communicated during fast and successful bug fixing were identified.
Results: Significant differences in the distribution of comments of
fixed and not fixed bugs were found. Variations in the distribution of
comments of bugs with different fixing time were also found. Referential
comments that provided objective information were found to be the most
frequent messages. Results showed that the percentages of conative and
emotive comments are greater when bugs are resolved without the
requested fixes and when fixes are implemented in a long time.
Conclusion: Associations between communication functions and bug fixing
exist. The results of this work could be used to improve corrective
tasks in OSS development and some other specific linguistic aspects
should be studied in detail in OSS communities.},

Elements Generation},
Journal = {COMPUTERS AND GEOTECHNICS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {172},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {Numerical manifold method (NMM) has shown its ability to solve
continuous and discontinuous deformation problems in a unified
framework. However, due to the complexity of geometry description and
the absence of a reliable 3D contact algorithm, the development of
3D-NMM still has a long-time challenge. In this study, an opensource
software named MEG3D to generate the numerical model for 3D-NMM is
developed. The MEG3D is a fast, light, and user-friendly interactive
software to identify geometry, generate joint networks, generate
structured finite mathematical mesh, cut blocks, and generate numerical
manifold elements (MEs). In this software, a new C++ programming
strategy with high modularization and good portability, and a novel data
storage format and data structure were used. Based on the OpenGL
library, real -time visualization and interactive interfaces were built.
Examples containing curve block cutting, discrete fracture networks
(DFN) model, soil-rock mixture slopes, complex shaped geometry, etc.
have indicated that the software is robust, efficient, and
user-friendly. This software can also generate models for the discrete
element method (DEM), discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA), etc.
Therefore, the MEG3D can be used as a general pre-processing program for
3D-NMM and other blockbased numerical methods.},

Abstract = {By working on open source software projects, software engineering
students can benefit from working on more realistic products than
traditional, educational programming assignments. However, careers in
software engineering demand learning how to work within a professional
environment and how to follow software development processes. We studied
the impact of students' interactions with external collaborators on open
source projects and found many similar outcomes between those who
communicated remotely and those who communicated face-to-face. However,
we also discovered that face-to-face interactions with local software
professionals following the Localized Free and Open Source (LFOSS) model
had particular advantages in teaching Agile methods, holding students
accountable, and introducing professional networking opportunities.},

Abstract = {This paper describes FieldTrip, an open source software package that we
developed for the analysis of MEG, EEG, and other electrophysiological
data. The software is implemented as a MATLAB toolbox and includes a
complete set of consistent and user-friendly high-level functions that
allow experimental neuroscientists to analyze experimental data. It
includes algorithms for simple and advanced analysis, such as
time-frequency analysis using multitapers, source reconstruction using
dipoles, distributed sources and beamformers, connectivity analysis, and
nonparametric statistical permutation tests at the channel and source
level. The implementation as toolbox allows the user to perform
elaborate and structured analyses of large data sets using the MATLAB
command line and batch scripting. Furthermore, users and developers can
easily extend the functionality and implement new algorithms. The
modular design facilitates the reuse in other software packages.},

Abstract = {The way new contributors are received by the established contributors in
an open source project is a factor in whether they will become more
regular contributors. This research examines the reception of new
contributors in three open source projects to discover whether there are
differences in how established contributors respond to new contributors,
and if so, what those differences are. Through statistical analysis of
time to first response and sentiment analysis of that response to a new
contributor's issue, we found that there is a difference in both the
speed and content of responses to new contributors' issues as opposed to
those of established contributors. This difference suggests that the
open source projects we observed are attentive to whether an issue was
created by a new contributor and may make an effort to respond in a
welcoming manner.},

Title = {MYRIAM: Open-Source Software to Estimate Torque Variations Associated
With Plate-Motion Temporal Changes},
Journal = {GEOCHEMISTRY GEOPHYSICS GEOSYSTEMS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {25},
Number = {2},
Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {Tectonic plate motions are a prime constraint on lithosphere dynamics
and on the torques acting upon plates. Researchers typically test
hypotheses on the controlling torques via forward computer models, which
allow accepting or rejecting hypotheses on the basis of the fit of
model-output plate velocities to kinematic reconstructions. Such models
typically require a significant amount of input information (e.g.,
tectonic boundaries, structure of the lithosphere, lateral variations of
rheology, among others) to appropriately model the tectonic system, and
obtain sufficiently-realistic realizations of plate motions.
Alternatively, the inverse problem approach takes the difference between
the plate torque-balance at two distinct moments in time. This results
in an equation in which (a) torques that have not varied through time
are canceled out and (b) torques that instead have varied through time
are linked to the resulting plate-motion change through a term that
accounts for the plate shape and the rheology of the underlying
asthenosphere. This approach sacrifices the capability to describe the
different individual forces/torques acting upon a plate. Instead, it
focuses on determining torque temporal variations, which significantly
reduces the amount of input knowledge required. In this technical note
we introduce MYRIAM, an open-source software that implements such an
inverse approach. MYRIAM takes plate-motion temporal changes, and
outputs an estimate of the torque variation required upon a plate to
generate the input kinematic change. MYRIAM is released as an
open-source repository hosted at GitHub, complete with source code and
executable files for Windows and Unix-based operating systems. Plain
Language Summary The outermost layer of the Earth, known as the
lithosphere, is fragmented into plates that are in motion relative to
each other. Through geological history, the motion of tectonic plates
did not remain steady, and in fact important changes are now known to
have occurred relatively fast, within a few million years. By virtue of
Newton's laws of motion, these changes are all necessarily caused by the
variation in one or more forces acting upon the plates, and therefore
disrupt their force balance. Changing the motion of a plate is not an
easy feat-for plates it requires overcoming the frictional resistance
exerted by the underlying asthenosphere, a low-viscosity layer beneath
the plates. The resulting motion change will depend on (a) the
mechanical properties of the asthenosphere and (b) the amount of plate
surface interacting with said asthenosphere (i.e., the basal area of the
plate). All these considerations are taken into account by MYRIAM, an
open-source, computationally-inexpensive software that estimates the
force/torque variations required to produce a given change of plate
motion.},

collective monitoring and reputation tracking},
Journal = {ETHICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {16},
Number = {2},
Pages = {157-169},
Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {Open-content communities that focus on co-creation without requirements
for entry have to face the issue of institutional trust in contributors.
This research investigates the various ways in which these communities
manage this issue. It is shown that communities of open-source
software-continue to-rely mainly on hierarchy (reserving write-access
for higher echelons), which substitutes (the need for) trust.
Encyclopedic communities, though, largely avoid this solution. In the
particular case of Wikipedia, which is confronted with persistent
vandalism, another arrangement has been pioneered instead. Trust (i.e.
full write-access) is `backgrounded' by means of a permanent
mobilization of Wikipedians to monitor incoming edits. Computational
approaches have been developed for the purpose, yielding both
sophisticated monitoring tools that are used by human patrollers, and
bots that operate autonomously. Measures of reputation are also under
investigation within Wikipedia; their incorporation in monitoring
efforts, as an indicator of the trustworthiness of editors, is
envisaged. These collective monitoring efforts are interpreted as
focusing on avoiding possible damage being inflicted on Wikipedian
spaces, thereby being allowed to keep the discretionary powers of
editing intact for all users. Further, the essential differences between
backgrounding and substituting trust are elaborated. Finally it is
argued that the Wikipedian monitoring of new edits, especially by its
heavy reliance on computational tools, raises a number of moral
questions that need to be answered urgently.},

Abstract = {Background. Static analyzers can be useful to software developers in
detecting and locating code issues and, in addition, classifying their
nature. The main problem of static analyzers, however, is that they may
signal too many false alarms. Objective. In this paper, we investigate
whether code issues that are detected by SpotBugs persist in software
code, or if they get removed. We chose SpotBugs because it is one of the
best-known and most used static analyzers. Method. We carried out an
empirical study on five open-source Java programs and took into account
two versions of each of them, to check whether the issues signaled by
SpotBugs on the older version had been removed by the time the newer
version was released. A total of 1,006 issues were signaled by SpotBugs.
Results. Our results show that about half of the issues signaled
disappeared between the two versions, but the correction rate was uneven
across projects. Issues about the correctness of software code were more
likely to be no longer present in the newer version than other types of
warnings. Conclusions. Further investigations are required, to
understand why some projects appear more active than others in
correcting SpotBugs issues, and why very few high-severity warnings were
observed in the analyzed code. Nonetheless, the fact that about half of
the issues flagged by SpotBugs were removed indicates that the tool is
effective in detecting incorrect or otherwise problematic code.},

features more valuable. Unfortunately, external quality metrics can only
be calculated after costly software has been developed and deployed for
end -users to utilize. Here, we present a method for mining data from
freely available open source codebases written in Java to train a Random
Forest classifier to predict which files are likely to be external
quality hotspots based on their internal quality metrics with over 75\%
accuracy. We also used the trained model to predict hotspots for a Java
project whose data was not used to train the classifier and achieved
over 75\% accuracy again, demonstrating the method's general
applicability to different projects.},

aim of this article is to present how to prepare recent security
professionals and future experts for work based on SOC implementation

Information Security solutions. We use open source software environment
as prototype. The goal with SOC based on open source software is to
demonstrate the perception of a possible cyberattack, in addition, we
present the possibility of using it even in enterprise environment.
Basically, by applying this direction for training and education
purposes, we achieve experts with comprehensive knowledge on newer type
of attacks and defense capabilities while they able to apply quick and
even risk-proportionate solutions to challenges. A sufficiently in-depth
knowledge of an Open source-based SOC solution for educational purposes

Abstract = {For the past 25 years, the field of neuroimaging has witnessed the
development of several software packages for processing multi-parametric
magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) to study the brain. These software
packages are now routinely used by researchers and clinicians, and have
contributed to important breakthroughs for the understanding of brain
anatomy and function. However, no software package exists to process
mpMRI data of the spinal cord. Despite the numerous clinical needs for
such advanced mpMRI protocols (multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury,
cervical spondylotic myelopathy, etc.), researchers have been developing
specific tools that, while necessary, do not provide an integrative
framework that is compatible with most usages and that is capable of
reaching the community at large. This hinders cross-validation and the
possibility to perform multi-center studies. In this study we introduce
the Spinal Cord Toolbox (SCT), a comprehensive software dedicated to the
processing of spinal cord MRI data. SCT builds on previously-validated
methods and includes state-of-the-art MM templates and atlases of the
spinal cord, algorithms to segment and register new data to the
templates, and motion correction methods for diffusion and functional
time series. SCT is tailored towards standardization and automation of
the processing pipeline, versatility, modularity, and it follows
guidelines of software development and distribution. Preliminary
applications of SCT cover a variety of studies, from cross-sectional
area measures in large databases of patients, to the precise
quantification of mpMRI metrics in specific spinal pathways. We
anticipate that SCT will bring together the spinal cord neuroimaging
community by establishing standard templates and analysis procedures.},

across multiple levels of resolution. It permits highly sophisticated
simulations to be set up with little coding required, thus lowering
entry barriers to new users. We illustrate successful applications of
BMTK to large-scale simulations of a cortical area. BMTK is an

Title = {An open-source software analysis package for Microspheres with
Ratiometric Barcode Lanthanide Encoding (MRBLEs)},

Abstract = {Multiplexed bioassays, in which multiple analytes of interest are probed
in parallel within a single small volume, have greatly accelerated the
pace of biological discovery. Bead-based multiplexed bioassays have many
technical advantages, including near solution-phase kinetics, small
sample volume requirements, many within-assay replicates to reduce
measurement error, and, for some bead materials, the ability to
synthesize analytes directly on beads via solid-phase synthesis. To
allow bead-based multiplexing, analytes can be synthesized on spectrally
encoded beads with a 1:1 linkage between analyte identity and embedded
codes. Bead-bound analyte libraries can then be pooled and incubated
with a fluorescently-labeled macromolecule of interest, allowing
downstream quantification of interactions between the macromolecule and
all analytes simultaneously via imaging alone. Extracting quantitative
binding data from these images poses several computational image
processing challenges, requiring the ability to identify all beads in
each image, quantify bound fluorescent material associated with each
bead, and determine their embedded spectral code to reveal analyte
identities. Here, we present a novel open-source Python software package
(the mrbles analysis package) that provides the necessary tools to: (1)
find encoded beads in a bright-field microscopy image; (2) quantify
bound fluorescent material associated with bead perimeters; (3) identify
embedded ratiometric spectral codes within beads; and (4) return data
aggregated by embedded code and for each individual bead. We demonstrate
the utility of this package by applying it towards analyzing data
generated via multiplexed measurement of calcineurin protein binding to
MRBLEs (Microspheres with Ratiometric Barcode Lanthanide Encoding)
containing known and mutant binding peptide motifs. We anticipate that
this flexible package should be applicable to a wide variety of assays,
including simple bead or droplet finding analysis, quantification of
binding to non-encoded beads, and analysis of multiplexed assays that
use ratiometric, spectrally encoded beads.},

Abstract = {For Teleradiology the exchange of DICOM-images is needed for several
purposes. Existing solutions often don't consider about the needs for
data security and data privacy. Communication is done without any
encryption over insecure networks or with encryption using proprietary
solutions, which reduces the data communication possibilities to
partners with the same equipment. Our goal was to build a gateway, which
offers a transparent solution for secure DICOM-communication in a
heterogeneous environment.
We developed a PC-based gateway system with DICOM-communication to the
in-house network and secure DICOM communication for the communication
over the insecure network. One gateway installed at each location is
responsible for encryption/decryption. The sender just transfers the
image data over the DICOM protocol to the local gateway. The gateway
forwards the data to the gateway on the destination site using the
secure DICOM protocol, which is part of the DICOM standard. The
receiving gateway forwards the image data to the final destination again
using the DICOM-Protocol.
The gateway is based on Open Source software and runs under several
operating systems. Our experience shows a reliable solution, which
solves security issues for DICOM communication of image data and
integrates seamless into a heterogeneous DICOM environment.},

Perfusion Analysis in Clinical Routine},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF DIGITAL IMAGING},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {26},
Number = {2},
Pages = {344-352},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {To develop a generic Open Source MRI perfusion analysis tool for
quantitative parameter mapping to be used in a clinical workflow and
methods for quality management of perfusion data. We implemented a
classic, pixel-by-pixel deconvolution approach to quantify T1-weighted
contrast-enhanced dynamic MR imaging (DCE-MRI) perfusion data as an
OsiriX plug-in. It features parallel computing capabilities and an
automated reporting scheme for quality management. Furthermore, by our
implementation design, it could be easily extendable to other perfusion
algorithms. Obtained results are saved as DICOM objects and directly
added to the patient study. The plug-in was evaluated on ten MR
perfusion data sets of the prostate and a calibration data set by
comparing obtained parametric maps (plasma flow, volume of distribution,
and mean transit time) to a widely used reference implementation in IDL.
For all data, parametric maps could be calculated and the plug-in worked
correctly and stable. On average, a deviation of 0.032 +/- 0.02 ml/100
ml/min for the plasma flow, 0.004 +/- 0.0007 ml/100 ml for the volume of
distribution, and 0.037 +/- 0.03 s for the mean transit time between our
implementation and a reference implementation was observed. By using
computer hardware with eight CPU cores, calculation time could be
reduced by a factor of 2.5. We developed successfully an Open Source
OsiriX plugin for T1-DCE-MRI perfusion analysis in a routine quality
managed clinical environment. Using model-free deconvolution, it allows
for perfusion analysis in various clinical applications. By our plug-in,
information about measured physiological processes can be obtained and
transferred into clinical practice.},

the defect reports as an early indicator of their resolution time. Text
Mining techniques are used to categorize defect reports of five OSS
projects. Significant variation in the defect resolution time amongst
the resulting categories, for each of the sample projects, indicates
that a text based classification of defect reports can be useful in
early assessment of resolution time before source code level analysis.
Such technique can assist in allocation of sufficient maintenance
resources to targeted defects and also enable project teams to manage
customer expectations regarding defect resolution times.},

Abstract = {Many open source software (OSS) development projects use tools and
models that come from heterogeneous sources. A project manager, who
wants to analyze indicators for the state of the project based on these
data sources, faces the challenge of how to link semi-structured
information on common concepts across heterogeneous data sources, e.g.,
source code versions, mailing list entries, and bug reports.
Unfortunately, manual analysis is costly, error-prone, and often yields
results late for decision making. In this paper we propose linking OSS
data sources using semantic web technologies as foundation for providing
integrated indicators project status analysis. We introduce the design
concept of a project monitoring cockpit, Pro-MonCo, and evaluate the
feasibility and effectiveness with a pro-totype for calculating
communication metrics in a real-world context, the Apache Tomcat
project. Major result was that Pro-MonCo efficiently supports frequent
project monitoring by calculating communication metrics based on
semantically integrated data originating from heterogeneous OSS project
data sources.},

interaction related properties},
Journal = {COMPUTER PHYSICS COMMUNICATIONS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {295},
Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {EPIq (Electron-Phonon wannier Interpolation over k and q-points) is an
open-source software for the calculation of electron-phonon interaction
related properties from first principles. Acting as a post-processing
tool for a density-functional perturbation theory code (Quantum
ESPRESSO) and WANNIER90, EPIq exploits the localization of the
deformation potential in the Wannier function basis and the stationary
properties of a force-constant functional with respect to the
first-order perturbation of the electronic charge density to calculate
many electron-phonon related properties with high accuracy and free from
convergence issues related to Brillouin zone sampling. EPIq features
include: the adiabatic and non-adiabatic phonon dispersion,
superconducting properties (including the superconducting band gap in
the Migdal-Eliashberg formulation), double-resonant Raman spectra and
lifetime of excited carriers. The possibility to customize most of its
input makes EPIq a versatile and interoperable tool. Particularly
relevant is the interaction with the Stochastic Self-Consistent Harmonic
Approximation (SSCHA) allowing anharmonic effects to be included in the
calculation of electron -properties. The scalability offered by the
Wannier representation combined with a straightforward workflow and
easy-to-read input and output files make EPIq accessible to the wide
condensed matter and material science communities.Program summaryProgram

Abstract = {High fidelity simulation of cognitive radio networks (CRN) requires a
CRN software framework with librairies of components at all layers of
the open systems interconnection (OSI) model (e.g. modulation schemes,
protocols, routing algorithms) along with realistic channel models for
simulating a high number of nodes. At the same time, the CRN software
framework should provide interfaces with hardware platforms for testbed
evaluation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL). Unfortunately, there is no
such software framework in the research community. This paper studies
the combination of some open-source frameworks for high fidelity
simulation of CRN. In particular, some challenges are highlighted for
the combination of radio simulators (e.g. GNU Radio, CogWave) and
network simulators (e.g. OMNeT++, ns3) at the level of network layer,
data link layer and physical layer. Based on this evaluation, new
extensions to the CogWave open-source software framework are proposed
for high fidelity simulation of CRN.},

and noncommercial origins exist. However, existing applications have
distinct drawbacks, such as focusing on only one type of graphic
representation, being unable to handle large data sets, or not being
publicly available. In this respect, we developed a software, within the
international complex matrices molecular characterization joint lab
(IC2MC), named ``python tools for complex matrices molecular
characterization{''} (PyC2MC). This piece of software will be
open-source and free to use. PyC2MC is written under python 3.9.7 and
relies on well-known libraries such as pandas, NumPy, or SciPy. It is
provided with a graphical user interface developed under PyQt5. The two
options for execution, (1) a user-friendly route with a prepacked
executable file or (2) running the main python script through a Python
interpreter, ensure a high applicability but also an open characteristic
for further development by the community. Both are available on the
GitHub platform (https://github.com/iC2MC/PyC2MC\_viewer).},

Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {There is growing concern about maintainers self-sabotaging their work in
order to take political or economic stances, a practice referred to as
``protestware{''}. Our objective is to understand the discourse around
discussions on such an attack, how it is received by the community, and
whether developers respond to the attack in a timely manner. We study
two notable protestware cases i.e., colors.js and es5-ext. Results
indicate that protestware discussions are spread more quickly on the
GitHub platform, while security vulnerabilities are faster on social
media. By establishing a taxonomy of protestware discussions, we
identify posts that express stances and provide technical mitigation
instructions. We applied a thematic analysis to 684 protestware related
posts to identify five major themes during the discussions: i.
disseminate and response, ii. stance, iii. reputation, iv. communicative
styles, v. rights and ethics. This work sheds light on the nuanced
landscape of protestware discussions, offering insights for both
researchers and developers into maintaining a healthy balance between
the political or social actions of developers and the collective
well-being of the open-source community.},

Client-Oriented Open Source Software (CO-FOSS) model. The advantages of
this approach are that students are involved directly with a client,
nonprofits gain a useful software application, and the project is
available as open source for other students or organizations to extend
and adapt. This chapter describes the motivation, elaborates the
approach, and presents the results in substantial detail. The process is
agile and the development framework is transferrable to other
one-semester software engineering courses in a wide range of

Abstract = {This article compares the organization and practices for software reuse
in integration-oriented software product lines (SPLs) and open source
software projects The main observation is that both approaches are
successful regarding large variability and reuse, but differ widely in
their practices, and organization To capture practices in large open
source projects, we describe an open compositional model, which reflects
their more decentralized organization of software development We capture
key practices and organizational forms for this and validate these by
comparing four case studies of this model Two of these studies are based
on published SPL case studies, for the other two we analyze the
practices in two large and successful open source projects based on
their published developer documentation Our analysis highlights key
differences between the practices in the two open source organizations
and the more integrational practices used in the other two cases
Finally, we discuss which practices are successful in which environment
and how the current practices can move towards more open, widely scoped

meta-modelling and uncertainty analysis},
Journal = {EPJ NUCLEAR SCIENCES \& TECHNOLOGIES},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {5},
Month = {FEB 28},
Abstract = {The high-performance computing resources and the constant improvement of
both numerical simulation accuracy and the experimental measurements
with which they are confronted bring a new compulsory step to strengthen
the credence given to the simulation results: uncertainty
quantification. This can have different meanings, according to the
requested goals (rank uncertainty sources, reduce them, estimate
precisely a critical threshold or an optimal working point), and it
could request mathematical methods with greater or lesser complexity.
This paper introduces the Uranie platform, an open-source framework
developed at the Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission
(CEA), in the nuclear energy division, in order to deal with uncertainty
propagation, surrogate models, optimisation issues, code calibration,
etc. This platform benefits from both its dependencies and from personal
developments, to offer an efficient data handling model, a C++ and
Python interface, advanced graphi graphical tools, several
parallelisation solutions, etc. These methods can then be applied to
many kinds of code (considered as black boxes by Uranie) so to many
fields of physics as well. In this paper, the example of thermal
exchange between a plate-sheet and a fluid is introduced to show how
Uranie can be used to perform a large range of analysis.},

technology (ICT) can increase outreach of MF to the very poor within a
self-sustainable holistic approach. We consider the potential of
free/open source software projects to address the computing needs of
small and remote MFIs, and we describe the reasons why no suitable
solutions have emerged yet. While the use of FOSS and ICTs in general
can help increase outreach, we feel the need to draw attention to the
challenges that come with it; one should not forget that access to basic
financial services is not all that is needed by the very poor.},

1990s led to a dramatic acceleration of open source activity; but the
success of a community open source project depends on the developers'

factors, including developers' identification and obligation, shared
goals, cognitive and affective trust, and their effects on open source
software developer's participation. Data were collected from voluntary
developers in open source projects. The research findings show that the
social-relational factors are very important to promote developer's
participation in an open source project. This research contributes
empirically to the body of open source software research, and has
practical implications for open source software development.},

Title = {Evaluation of the free, open source software WordPress as electronic
portfolio system in undergraduate medical education},
Journal = {BMC MEDICAL EDUCATION},
Year = {2016},
Volume = {16},
Month = {JUN 3},
Abstract = {Background: Electronic portfolios (ePortfolios) are used to document and
support learning activities. E-portfolios with mobile capabilities allow
even more flexibility. However, the development or acquisition of
ePortfolio software is often costly, and at the same time, commercially
available systems may not sufficiently fit the institution's needs. The
aim of this study was to design and evaluate an ePortfolio system with
mobile capabilities using a commercially free and open source software
solution.
Methods: We created an online ePortfolio environment using the blogging
software WordPress based on reported capability features of such
software by a qualitative weight and sum method. Technical
implementation and usability were evaluated by 25 medical students
during their clinical training by quantitative and qualitative means
using online questionnaires and focus groups.
Results: The WordPress ePortfolio environment allowed students a broad
spectrum of activities - often documented via mobile devices - like
collection of multimedia evidences, posting reflections, messaging, web
publishing, ePortfolio searches, collaborative learning, knowledge
management in a content management system including a wiki and RSS
feeds, and the use of aid tools for studying. The students' experience
with WordPress revealed a few technical problems, and this report
provides workarounds. The WordPress ePortfolio was rated positively by
the students as a content management system (67 \% of the students), for
exchange with other students (74 \%), as a note pad for reflections (53
\%) and for its potential as an information source for assessment (48
\%) and exchange with a mentor (68 \%). On the negative side, 74 \% of
the students in this pilot study did not find it easy to get started
with the system, and 63 \% rated the ePortfolio as not being
user-friendly. Qualitative analysis indicated a need for more
introductory information and training.
Conclusions: It is possible to build an advanced ePortfolio system with
mobile capabilities with the free and open source software WordPress.
This allows institutions without proprietary software to build a
sophisticated ePortfolio system adapted to their needs with relatively
few resources. The implementation of WordPress should be accompanied by
introductory courses in the use of the software and its apps in order to
facilitate its usability.},

Abstract = {The Free/Open Source Software (F/OSS) research community is growing

unusual situation. The traditional difficulties of gathering enough
empirical data have been replaced by issues of dealing with enormous
amounts of freely available public data from many disparate sources
(online discussion forums, source code directories, bug reports, OSS Web
portals, etc.). Consequently, these data are being discovered, gathered,
analyzed, and used to support multidisciplinary research. However at
present, no means exist for assembling these data under common access
points and frameworks for comparative, longitudinal, and collaborative
research across disciplines. Gathering and maintaining large F/OSS data
collections reliably and making them usable present several research
challenges. For example, current projects usually rely on direct access
to, and mining of raw data from groups that generate it, and both of
these methods require unique effort for each new corpus, or even for
updating existing corpora. In this paper, we identify several needs and
critical factors in F/OSS empirical research across disciplines, and
suggest recommendations for design of a global research infrastructure
for multi-disciplinary research into F/OSS development.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) is being considered the new paradigm of

marketing model, OSS pursues the freedom to have access to open source

saving costs related to Information Systems and Technologies (IS/IT) and
the possibility of adapting to changing organizational requirements.
However, the recent forthcoming of OSS prevents us from knowing the real
impact it has today on social and organizational fields. Having
considered this obstacle, the authors have defined a foreseeable setting
for OSS diffusion and adoption by means of a forecasting study based on
the Delphi method for the year 2010. The findings reveal the levels of
OSS diffusion for this year according to the main applications,
geographic regions and industries. In a complementary manner, the
authors have studied the elements of success as well as the most
relevant obstacles for diffusing and adopting technological solutions

Journal = {FRONTIERS IN DIGITAL HEALTH},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {3},
Month = {NOV 18},
Abstract = {Smartphone and wearable devices are widely used in behavioral and
clinical research to collect longitudinal data that, along with ground
truth data, are used to create models of human behavior. Mobile sensing
researchers often program data processing and analysis code from scratch
even though many research teams collect data from similar mobile
sensors, platforms, and devices. This leads to significant inefficiency
in not being able to replicate and build on others' work, inconsistency
in quality of code and results, and lack of transparency when code is
not shared alongside publications. We provide an overview of
Reproducible Analysis Pipeline for Data Streams (RAPIDS), a reproducible
pipeline to standardize the preprocessing, feature extraction, analysis,
visualization, and reporting of data streams coming from mobile sensors.
RAPIDS is formed by a group of R and Python scripts that are executed on
top of reproducible virtual environments, orchestrated by a workflow
management system, and organized following a consistent file structure
for data science projects. We share open source, documented, extensible
and tested code to preprocess, extract, and visualize behavioral
features from data collected with any Android or iOS smartphone sensing
app as well as Fitbit and Empatica wearable devices. RAPIDS allows
researchers to process mobile sensor data in a rigorous and reproducible
way. This saves time and effort during the data analysis phase of a
project and facilitates sharing analysis workflows alongside
publications.},

parser for the full SLN syntax of chemical structures and substructure
search queries including support for macro and Markush atoms, global and
local dictionaries and user defined properties which can be stored and
used by the Ambit data model. The Ambit-SLN library includes
functionalities for substructure matching based on SLN query strings and
utilities for conversion of SLN objects to other chemical formats such
as SMILES and SMARTS. The functionality for Markush atom expansion can
be used for generation of combinatorial structure sets.},

many discrepancies in the terminology, length, enforcement, and adoption
of codes of conduct. To investigate the usage of these CoCs, we
investigate five women-focused OSS discussion forums. This analysis
shows the value of creating/adopting a CoC and the impact CoC can have
on the participation of women. We also present the challenges in the
usage and enforcement of CoCs as discussed by women of these forums. We
conclude with recommendations for better enforcement of CoC and
reflection on the ethical underpinnings of CoC as a tool to improve

and data and solution visualization capabilities as well as ability to
run in parallel environments using OpenMP standard. This was validated
in simulations, experiments and applied to in-vivo clinical data and was
made open-source for the near infrared imaging community.},

Abstract = {Software developers communicate and interact with each other in order to
solve complex problems. Such communication often includes emotional
displays that have been shown to influence team processes and
performance. Yet, little is known about the evolution of team emotional
displays. Hence, we investigate a sample of 1121 Open Source Software
(OSS) projects from GitHub, using longitudinal data analysis. The
results from growth curve analysis shows that the team emotional display
decrease over time. This negative linear trend decelerates mid-term as
suggested by a positive quadratic trend of time. Such deceleration
diminishes toward the end as a negative cubic trend suggests.},

Abstract = {Deserts are among the most poorly understood biomes in the world,
currently experiencing among the highest rates of environmental change
and biodiversity loss. A major controlling factor on the ecology and
distribution of vegetation and animal populations in these harsh arid
systems is the abundance and distribution of water sources. Accordingly,
extraction and redistribution of water at artificial water points across
desert landscapes can constitute a real threat to local ecosystem
dynamics. A major challenge in tackling this potential threat is
identifying changes in the distribution of artificial water points
through space and time, due to the difficulties of collecting such
information at relevant spatial and temporal scales. We here investigate
the potential for freely available satellite imagery to provide reliable
information about the distribution of artificial water points using the
Ouadi Rime-Ouadi Achim Faunal Reserve (OROAFR), Chad, as a case study.
We reveal that Landsat 8 data combined with texture analysis can
accurately detect these artificial landmarks across the heterogeneous
environment of OROAFR; 75.68\% of artificial water points within the
site were successfully identified and false positive detection rate was
minimal at 7.69\%. The methodological framework developed for this work,
based on the treatment of freely available satellite data using open
source software, adds to other works attempting to help monitor threats
to biodiversity in desert ecosystems, enabling up-to-date information on
the level of anthropogenic activities in these habitats to be easily and
regularly collected.},

Abstract = {E-Iearning success is dependent on effective and efficient delivery of
teaching and learning contents electronically. New technological
innovations have greatly facilitated e-learning and have made it
conducive to those who can afford. Developed countries have
significantly benefited from these innovations whereas developing
economies are still battling with the many challenges that have hindered
e-learning success. The advent of Web 2.0 and Free Open Source Software
(FOSS) would have been seen as the breakthrough for the developing
economies to embrace e-learning. However, many factors still impede the
utilization of these technologies for e-learning. The major objective of
this paper is to discuss the factors that hinder institutions from
utilizing Web 2.0 and FOSS for e-learning. Content analysis was used to
evaluate the factors that had been identified in literature and to tally
them according to their frequency. 36 factors were deduced and analyzed
using structural equation modeling (SEM) method. Results indicated that
technological factors predominantly impact on the utilization of Web 2.0
and FOSS for e-learning. The framework of this study serves as a
guideline in the use of Web 2.0 and FOSS technologies for e-learning.},

SOFTWARE A Coordination Theory Analysis},
Booktitle = {BUSINESS PROCESS TRANSFORMATION},
Series = {Advances in Management Information Systems},
Year = {2008},
Volume = {9},
Pages = {69-99},
Abstract = {To support business process transformation, we must first be able to
represent business processes in a way that allows us to compare and
contrast them or to design new ones. This chapter uses coordination
theory to analyze the bug fixing processes in the proprietary operating
system development group of a large minicomputer manufacturer and for
the Free/Libre Open Source Software Linux operating system kernel. Three
approaches to identifying dependencies and coordination mechanisms are
presented. Mechanisms analyzed include those for task assignment,
resource sharing, and managing dependencies between modules of source
code. The proprietary development organization assigned problem reports
to engineers based on the module that appeared to be in error, because
engineers only worked on particular modules. Alternative task assignment
mechanisms include assignment to engineers based on workload or
voluntary assignment, as in Linux. In the proprietary process, modules
of source code were not shared but, rather, were ``owned{''} by one
engineer, thus reducing the need for coordination. In Linux, where
multiple developers can work on the same modules, alternative resource
sharing mechanisms have been developed to manage source code. Finally,
the proprietary developers managed dependencies between modules
informally, relying on their personal knowledge of which other engineers
used their code. The Linux process allows developers to change code in
multiple modules, but emphasizes modularity to reduce the need to do so.
By helping in the identification of dependencies in the bug fixing
processes, drawing upon coordination theory streamlines bug fixing
activities of a large mini-computer manufacturer and for the Free/Libre
Open Source Software Linux operating system kernel.},

Abstract = {A hidden part of the World Wide Web is known as the Dark Web, featuring
websites that cannot be indexed by traditional search engines. Many open
source software products are used to access and navigate through the
Dark Web. Together they form the Dark Web open source software
ecosystem. Research on this ecosystem is scarce and research on the
ecosystem health is non-existent, even though ecosystem health is an
useful indicator of the livelihood of an ecosystem. The goal of this
research is to evaluate the health of the ecosystem through an
assessment of Tor, I2P and GitHub. The Open Source Ecosystem Health
Operationalization framework is used to help perform this assessment.
Eight metrics from the framework are selected, which are measured using
the data collected. Analysis of Tor and I2P metrics suggest that there
has been an increase in Tor and I2P user activity in the recent past.
Added knowledge, spin offs and forks and usage indicate active
participation and interest in Tor and I2P. There has also been an
increase in the number of active GitHub Dark Web projects. However,
these GitHub projects are not well-connected and only a small number of
projects have a large number of contributors. There is some variety
among the GitHub software projects. The framework proves to be
adequately capable of determining the health of the Dark Web open source
ecosystem with the available data.},

Abstract = {It is well established that colony growth of filamentous fungi, mostly
dependent on changes in hyphae/mycelia apical growth rate, is
macroscopically estimated on solidified media by comparing colony size.
However, to quantitatively measure the growth rate of genetically
different fungal strains or strains under different environmental/growth
conditions (pH, temperature, carbon and nitrogen sources, antibiotics,
etc.) is challenging. Thus, the pursuit of complementary approaches to
quantify growth kinetics becomes mandatory in order to better understand
fungal cell growth. Furthermore, it is well-known that filamentous
fungi, including Aspergillus spp., have distinct modes of growth and
differentiation under sub-aerial conditions on solid media or submerged
cultures. Here, we detail a quantitative microscopic method for
analyzing growth kinetics of the model fungus Aspergillus nidulans,
using live imaging in both submerged cultures and solid media. We
capture images, analyze, and quantify growth rates of different fungal
strains in a reproducible and reliable manner using an open source, free
software for bio-images (e.g., Fiji), in a way that does not require any
prior image analysis expertise from the user.},

Abstract = {Engineering is basically the application of the laws of nature for the
benefit of the human kind. In the curriculum of majority of engineering
branches there are certain abstract concepts. The students find it
difficult to understand these concepts. There are many methods which are
being followed to make the students understand concepts. One such method
is the use of CAD tools When computers came into class rooms, the need
for CAD tools also arose {[}1]. They help the students to visualize many
basic concepts which, they otherwise cannot see in the physical world.
In this 21st century, dominated by social networking, the tools required
to educate them have also come to be available in free of cost. Such
tools are called open source software or FOSS tools. We have proposed a
teaching methodology that involves the usage of open source software
tools along with traditional teaching which enable the communication
engineering students to understand complex concepts pertaining to the
subject of Antenna and wave propagation. We carried out an experiment
with forty students from fifth semester Electronics and Communication
Engineering department. The students used a FOSS tool and gave a test
based on designing of various antennas with desired radiation patterns
by selecting different parameters before and after using the tool. The
scores of the two tests show that there was an increase in the marks
obtained by students in the test after using the tool. Thus the use of
FOSS tool helped students perform better in the test. This may be
because the tool has visualizations which help student understand the
abstract concepts such as antenna radiation pattern and wave
propagation.},

have imposed a huge recruitment demand on talents in the IT field.
Previous studies predict a talent's next job title solely based on her
past experience in the resume, which can lead to errors if the resume
contains fake information. With the popularity of open-source software,
we argue that the next job title can be predicted based on a candidate's
past expertise in the open-source community. On the other hand, the
career path can also affect the development of a talent's expertise.
Motivated by the observation, we propose to predict the job titles of IT
talents as a dual task of forecasting their expertise development in
open-source software. To solve the task, we design a dual learning model
DualJE that leverages both the data-level and model-level duality.
Experimental results show that DualJE is effective and performs much
better than comparative models. A replication package for this work is
available at https://github.com/DaSESmartEdu/DualJE.},

Abstract = {Stereotype threat, impostor syndrome, lacking a sense of belonging, and
misconceptions about the field are just some of the reasons that
contribute to the increasing diversity gap in Computer Science. To
address this, our institution has developed an undergraduate course in
which students contribute to Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)
projects under the guidance of a dedicated mentor. By contributing to
FOSS projects, students can: find a mentor or role model; collaborate
with, participate in, and contribute to a welcoming and supporting
community; and see that they can have real-world positive impact. This
paper describes the course and our experiences in teaching it, and
provides evidence that it can have a positive impact on diversity by
increasing retention and improving students' confidence.},

Abstract = {The Cancer Bioinformatics Grid (caBIG (TM)) program was created by the
National Cancer Institute to facilitate sharing of IT infrastructure,
data, and applications among the National Cancer Institute-sponsored
cancer research centers. The program was launched in February 2004 and
now links more than 50 cancer centers. In April 2005, the In Vivo
Imaging Workspace was added to promote the use of imaging in cancer
clinical trials. At the inaugural meeting, four special interest groups
(SIGs) were established. The Software SIG was charged with identifying
projects that focus on open-source software for image visualization and
analysis. To date, two projects have been defined by the Software SIG.
The eXtensible Imaging Platform project has produced a rapid application
development environment that researchers may use to create targeted
workflows customized for specific research projects. The Algorithm
Validation Tools project will provide a set of tools and data structures
that will be used to capture measurement information and associated
needed to allow a gold standard to be defined for the given database
against which change analysis algorithms can be tested. Through these
and future efforts, the caBIG (TM) In Vivo Imaging Workspace Software
SIG endeavors to advance imaging informatics and provide new open-source
software tools to advance cancer research.},

development tasks: the impact of task characteristics},
Journal = {INTERNET RESEARCH},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {31},
Number = {4},
Pages = {1177-1202},
Month = {JUL 12},
Abstract = {Purpose - This paper explores how task characteristics in terms of
trigger type and task topic influence individual participation in
community-based free/libre open source software (FLOSS) development by
considering participation in individual tasks rather than entire
projects.
Design/methodology/approach - A quantitative study was designed using
choose tasks that were carried out via the email discourse on the
developers' email fora in five FLOSS projects. Choice process episodes
were selected as the unit of analysis and were coded for the task
trigger and topic. The impact of these factors on participation (i.e.
the numbers of participants and messages) was assessed by regression.
Findings - The results reveal differences in participation related to
different task triggers and task topics. Further, the results suggest
the mediating role of the number of participants in the relationships
between task characteristics and the number of messages. The authors
also speculate that project type serves as a boundary condition
restricting the impacts of task characteristics on the number of
participants and propose this relationship for future research.
Research limitations/implications - Empirical support was provided to
the important effects of different task characteristics on individual
participation behaviors in FLOSS development tasks.
Practical implications - The findings can help FLOSS participants
understand participation patterns in different tasks and choose the
types of tasks to attend to.
Originality/value - This research explores the impact of task
characteristics on participation in FLOSS development at the task level,
while prior research on participation in FLOSS development has focused
mainly on factors at the individual and/or project levels.},

SOCIAL NETWORK AND TAG SIMILARITY},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC COMMERCE RESEARCH},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {15},
Number = {1},
Pages = {77-86},
Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) has become a mainstream in software
development, utilizing a global information infrastructure. OSS is a
complicated social process to understand. OSS is a multi-faceted
phenomenon including code, a licensing structure, a community,
development best practices, a method of diffusion. However, the current
OSS collaborative researches place too much emphasis on collaborative
behaviors, but ignore the study on collaborative process. By using the
social network theory to abstract collaborative network topology, this
paper proposes a method for constructing social network model, which
considers both the contact relationship and level of collaboration
between collaborators. Based on the definition of three types of contact
behavior, this paper presents an approach to measuring the contact
relationship intensity. Based on introducing and improving TF-IDF (term
frequency-inverse document frequency), this paper presents the methods
for calculating tag weights and work similarity between collaborators.
Finally, by evaluating the model using data from the OSS
websitewww.Codeplex.com, we verify that our model outperforms
conventional models in both describing and forecasting collaborative
behavior.},

Abstract = {This paper describes a new quantitation method called AQSES for short
echo time magnetic resonance spectra. This method is embedded in a
software package available online from
www.esat.kuleuven.be/sista/members/biomed/new/ with a graphical user
interface, under an open source license, which means that the source
code is freely available and easy to adapt to specific needs of the
user. The quantitation problem is mathematically formulated as a
separable nonlinear least-squares fitting problem, which is numerically
solved using a modified variable-projection procedure. A macromolecular
baseline is incorporated into the fit via nonparametric modelling,
efficiently implemented using penalized splines. Unwanted components
such as residual water are removed with a maximum-phase FIR filter.
Constraints on the phases, dampings and frequencies of the metabolites
can be imposed. AQSES has been tested on simulated MR spectra with
several types of disturbance and on short echo time in vivo proton MR
spectra. Results show that AQSES is robust, easy to use and very
flexible. Copyright (C) 2006 John Wiley \& Sons, Ltd.},

in the Eclipse OSS community, the main role of OSS development
activities is taken over by vendors. The relationship between
individuals and vendors is reversed. Therefore, it becomes important to
maintain the motivation of the development community, promote innovation
and link the activities to the profit of vendors. In other words,
management of co-creation and competition are being conducted at the
same time. This paper tries to clarify internal and external structures
in an OSS ecosystem led by vendors considering the Eclipse community as
one particular case. Also it constructs a co-creation model to promote
sustainable development for an OSS ecosystem.},

Title = {A Study on the Field Data Applicability of Seismic Data Processing using
Open-source Software (Madagascar)},
Journal = {GEOPHYSICS AND GEOPHYSICAL EXPLORATION},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {21},
Number = {3},
Pages = {171-182},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {We performed the seismic field data processing using an open-source
software (Madagascar) to verify if it is applicable to processing of
field data, which has low signal-to-noise ratio and high uncertainties
in velocities. The Madagascar, based on Python, is usually supposed to
be better in the development of processing technologies due to its
capabilities of multidimensional data analysis and reproducibility.
However, this open-source software has not been widely used so far for
field data processing because of complicated interfaces and data
structure system. To verify the effectiveness of the Madagascar software
on field data, we applied it to a typical seismic data processing flow
including data loading, geometry build-up, F-K filter, predictive
deconvolution, velocity analysis, normal moveout correction, stack, and
migration. The field data for the test were acquired in Gunsan Basin,
Yellow Sea using a streamer consisting of 480 channels and 4 arrays of
air-guns. The results at all processing step are compared with those
processed with Landmark's ProMAX (SeisSpace R5000) which is a commercial
processing software. Madagascar shows relatively high efficiencies in
data IO and management as well as reproducibility. Additionally, it
shows quick and exact calculations in some automated procedures such as
stacking velocity analysis. There were no remarkable differences in the
results after applying the signal enhancement flows of both software.
For the deeper part of the substructure image, however, the commercial
software shows better results than the open-source software. This is
simply because the commercial software has various flows for de-multiple
and provides interactive processing environments for delicate processing
works compared to Madagascar. Considering that many researchers around
the world are developing various data processing algorithms for
Madagascar, we can expect that the open-source software such as
Madagascar can be widely used for commercial-level processing with the
strength of expandability, cost effectiveness and reproducibility.},

Abstract = {Government and academia share concerns for efficiently and effectively
servicing societal demands, which includes the development of
e-government software. Government-academia partnerships can be a
valuable approach for improving productivity in achieving these goals.
However, governmental and academic institutions tend to have very
different agendas and organizational and managerial structures, which
can hinder the success of such collaborative projects. In order to
identify effective approaches to overcome collaboration barriers, we
systematically studied the case of the Brazilian Public Software portal
project, a 30-month government-academia collaboration that, using
Free/Libre/Open Source Software practices and agile methods for project
management, developed an unprecedented platform in the context of the
Brazilian government. We gathered information from experience reports
and data collection from repositories and interviews to derive a
collection of practices that contributed to the success of the
collaboration. In this paper, we describe how the data analysis led to
the identification of a set of three high-level decisions supported by
the adoption of nine best practices that improved the project
performance and enabled professional training of the whole team. (C)

reach decisions. This study proposes a PAR framework specifically
tailored to FOSS communities. We successfully applied the framework to
implement a set of quality assurance interventions in the Robot
Operating System community. The framework we proposed is composed of
three components, interventions design, democratization, and execution.
We believe that this process will work for other FOSS communities too.
We have learned that changing a particular aspect of a FOSS community is
arduous. To achieve success the change must rally the community around
it for support and attract motivated volunteers to implement the
interventions.},

Abstract = {Herein we present a modular approach to a high-throughput
experimentation software environment. Instead of a monolithic master
system, small tools with a limited set of tasks are interconnected using
standardized, self-descriptive data structures. This approach is highly
flexible with respect to the rapidly changing needs of the scientists:
Since the modules are isolated and intermodule communication is
standardized, new components can be integrated without side effects. The
developed software environment follows to a large extent the UNIX design
philosophy and is heavily based on open-source software technologies
that are used to solve specific tasks within the overall system to
achieve high productivity in using the software for ambitious
high-throughput experimentation programs. It is shown that the
orchestration of the system significantly benefits from clear and
standardized interface design based on hteML, the high-throughput
experimentation markup language, an XML language for the description of
high-throughput experimentation data and processes. (c) 2005 American

Indonesian development is very important, especially in the application
of e-government to support good, clean, transparent governance, and

Free Open Source Software (FOSS), is also an interesting interoperable
ICT system, to be used and developed for making the self-made and legal
software, which will have the promising benefits in the country, not
only for the government but also useful in the public sectors,
industries, human resources, etc.
Both issues were launched by our government, while some constraints or
obstacles are found during their implementation. This paper will discuss
about e-government and FOSS policies in Indonesia, based on the
available supported data, and recent efforts in the issues that made by
educational institutions like universities.
This paper will be divided into three parts: part I about the ICT's role

Abstract = {A constant influx of newcomers is essential for the sustainability and
success of open source software (OSS) projects. However, successful
onboarding is always challenging because newcomers face various initial
contributing barriers. To support newcomer onboarding, OSS communities
widely adopt the mentoring approach. Despite its significance, previous
mentoring studies tend to focus on the newcomer's perspective, leaving
the mentor's perspective relatively under-studied. To better support
mentoring, we study the popular Google Summer of Code (GSoC). It is a
well-established global program that offers stipends and mentors to
students aiming to bring more student developers into OSS development.
We combine online data analysis, an email survey, and semi-structured
interviews with the GSoC mentors to understand their motivations,
challenges, strategies, and gains. We propose a taxonomy of GSoC
mentors' engagement with four themes, ten categories, 34 sub-categories,
and 118 codes, as well as the mentors' attitudes toward the codes. In
particular, we find that mentors participating in GSoC are primarily
intrinsically motivated, and some new motivators emerge adapting to the
contemporary challenges, e.g., sustainability and advertisement of
projects. Forty-one challenges and 52 strategies associated with the
program timeline are identified, most of which are first time revealed.
Although almost all the challenges are agreed upon by specific mentors,
some mentors believe that several challenges are reasonable and even
have a positive effect. For example, the cognitive differences between
mentors and mentees can stimulate new perspectives. Most of the mentors
agreed that they had adopted these strategies during the mentoring
process, but a few strategies recommended by the GSoC administration
were not agreed upon. Self-satisfaction, different skills, and peer
recognition are the main gains of mentors to participate in GSoC.
Eventually, we discuss practical implications for mentors, students, OSS
communities, GSoC programs, and researchers.},

Title = {Uncovering the relationship between OSS user support networks and OSS
popularity},
Journal = {DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {64},
Pages = {142-151},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {The open source model of software development has become an attractive
alternative to the traditional proprietary approach. However, the
incomplete understanding of the phenomenon has continued to prompt
researchers to investigate factors that could increase the use and
popularity of open source software (ass). While a key antecedent for OSS
use highlighted in the previous literature is the software quality, we
propose that effective online user support is also necessary to increase
its popularity. As an understudied area, this paper seeks to understand
the role of online user support networks in facilitating OSS use. Based
on the network embeddedness theory, it suggests that properties of the
user support network i.e., variation in structural and junctional
embeddedness, measured as the in-degree and betweenness centralizations
respectively, would affect OSS popularity in terms of the number of
active users and downloads of the software. Testing on a sample of 176
OSS projects from Sourceforge.net, we showed that a negative quadratic
relationship exists between the variation in structural embeddedness of
the OSS user support network and the software popularity. Further, as
hypothesized, the variation in junctional embeddedness was found to
positively impact the OSS popularity. Theoretical and practical
implications of the study are discussed. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All

Abstract = {This paper describes the OpenViBE software platform which enables
researchers to design, test, and use brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).
BCIs are communication systems that enable users to send commands to
computers solely by means of brain activity. BCIs are gaining interest
among the virtual reality (VR) community since they have appeared as
promising interaction devices for virtual environments (VEs). The key
features of the platform are (1) high modularity, (2) embedded tools for
visualization and feedback based on VR and 3D displays, (3) BCI design
made available to non-programmers thanks to visual programming, and (4)
various tools offered to the different types of users. The platform
features are illustrated in this paper with two entertaining VR
applications based on a BCI. In the first one, users can move a virtual
ball by imagining hand movements, while in the second one, they can
control a virtual spaceship using real or imagined foot movements.
Online experiments with these applications together with the evaluation
of the platform computational performances showed its suitability for
the design of VR applications controlled with a BCI. OpenViBE is a free

Abstract = {Attracting a large number of new contributors has been seen as a way to
ensure the survival, long-term success, and sustainability of
Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) communities. However, this
appears to be a necessary, but not a sufficient condition, as the
well-being of FLOSS communities also relies on members behaving as
``good citizens,{''} to nurture and protect the community. This paper
investigates the notion of FLOSS community citizenship behaviors in
light of the organizational citizenship behaviors literature. Relying on
11 semi-structured interviews with FLOSS project leaders and community
managers, the papers identifies key instances of citizenship behaviors
along two dimensions: CCB-I (community citizenship behaviors oriented
towards the benefits of other individuals), and CCB-P (community
citizenship behaviors oriented towards the benefits of the project and
its community).},

Resolution Times in Open Source Software Repositories},
Journal = {APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {13},
Number = {5},
Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {One of the most prominent issues the ever-growing open-source software
community faces is the abundance of buggy code. Well-established version
control systems and repository hosting services such as GitHub and Maven
provide a checks-and-balances structure to minimize the amount of buggy
code introduced. Although these platforms are effective in mitigating
the problem, it still remains. To further the efforts toward a more
effective and quicker response to bugs, we must understand the factors
that affect the time it takes to fix one. We apply a custom traversal
algorithm to commits made for open source repositories to determine when
``simple stupid bugs{''} were first introduced to projects and explore
the factors that drive the time it takes to fix them. Using the commit
history from the main development branch, we are able to identify the
commit that first introduced 13 different types of simple stupid bugs in
617 of the top Java projects on GitHub. Leveraging a statistical
survival model and other non-parametric statistical tests, we found that
there were two main categories of categorical variables that affect a
bug's life; Time Factors and Author Factors. We find that bugs are fixed
quicker if they are introduced and resolved by the same developer.
Further, we discuss how the day of the week and time of day a buggy code
was written and fixed affects its resolution time. These findings will
provide vital insight to help the open-source community mitigate the
abundance of code and can be used in future research to aid in
bug-finding programs.},

adaptive optics ophthalmoscopy using convolutional neural networks},
Journal = {SCIENTIFIC REPORTS},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {7},
Month = {JUL 26},
Abstract = {Imaging with an adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscope (AOSLO)
enables direct visualization of the cone photoreceptor mosaic in the
living human retina. Quantitative analysis of AOSLO images typically
requires manual grading, which is time consuming, and subjective; thus,
automated algorithms are highly desirable. Previously developed
automated methods are often reliant on ad hoc rules that may not be
transferable between different imaging modalities or retinal locations.
In this work, we present a convolutional neural network (CNN) based
method for cone detection that learns features of interest directly from
training data. This cone-identifying algorithm was trained and validated
on separate data sets of confocal and split detector AOSLO images with
results showing performance that closely mimics the gold standard manual
process. Further, without any need for algorithmic modifications for a
specific AOSLO imaging system, our fully-automated multi-modality
CNN-based cone detection method resulted in comparable results to
previous automatic cone segmentation methods which utilized ad hoc rules
for different applications. We have made free open-source software for
the proposed method and the corresponding training and testing datasets
available online.},

Abstract = {This paper presents the design and implementation of the HARK robot

deployed to various auditory environments, the robot audition system
should provide an easy way to adapt to them. HARK provides a set of
modules to cope with various auditory environments by using an
open-sourced middleware, FlowDesigner, and reduces the overheads of data
transfer between modules. HARK has been open-sourced since April 2008.
The resulting implementation of HARK with MUSIC-based sound source
localization, GSS-based sound source separation and Missing Feature
Theory-based automatic speech recognition on Honda ASIMO, SIG2 and
Robovie R2 attains recognizing three simultaneous utterances with the
delay of 1.9 s at the word correct rate of 80-90\% for three speakers.

some cases improve, extant methods into a single software tool, written
as a package in the R statistical framework. The workflow is validated
using Escherichia coli engineered to express green fluorescent protein
(GFP) from a set of commonly used constitutive promoters. We then
demonstrate the package's power by identifying the time evolution of
distinct subpopulations of bacteria from bulk plate reader data, a task
previously reliant on laborious flow cytometry or colony counting
experiments. Along with standardized parts and experimental methods, the
development and dissemination of usable tools for quantitative

Abstract = {This article contributes towards knowledge and understanding of the
creative use of software and hardware tools for computer music. It stems
from a need to reassess strategic spending within an academic department

most practical way of assessing the use of Linux, a completely open
source software platform with the aim of understanding how compositional
paradigms migrate between computer operating systems, noting
similarities between systems, and highlighting strengths and weaknesses
of the process.
It is apparent that the Linux platform has much to offer, but remains
limited in a number of areas of music IT that are used extensively in
academia, industry and at home. However, as a platform for teaching and
learning computer music it is an ideal tool, though we conclude that
some `introduction' at the outset is required for those who are
uninitiated to a Linux-based system. The teaching and learning
initiative expected students, by the end of a three-year undergraduate
degree programme, to be creating their own tools and to have a good
understanding of related operating systems.},

Title = {Building a virtual simulation platform for quasistatic breast ultrasound
elastography using open source software: A preliminary investigation},
Journal = {MEDICAL PHYSICS},

Abstract = {Purpose: Quasistatic ultrasound elastography (QUE) is being used to
augment in vivo characterization of breast lesions. Results from early
clinical trials indicated that there was a lack of confidence in image
interpretation. Such confidence can only be gained through rigorous
imaging tests using complex, heterogeneous but known media. The
objective of this study is to build a virtual breast QUE simulation
platform in the public domain that can be used not only for innovative
QUE research but also for rigorous imaging tests.
Methods: The main thrust of this work is to streamline biomedical
ultrasound simulations by leveraging existing open source software
packages including Field II (ultrasound simulator), VTK (geometrical
visualization and processing), FEBio {[}finite element (FE) analysis],
and Tetgen (mesh generator). However, integration of these open source
packages is nontrivial and requires interdisciplinary knowledge. In the
first step, a virtual breast model containing complex anatomical
geometries was created through a novel combination of image-based
landmark structures and randomly distributed (small) structures.
Image-based landmark structures were based on data from the NIH Visible
Human Project. Subsequently, an unstructured FE-mesh was created by
Tetgen. In the second step, randomly positioned point scatterers were
placed within the meshed breast model through an octree-based algorithm
to make a virtual breast ultrasound phantom. In the third step, an
ultrasound simulator (Field II) was used to interrogate the virtual
breast phantom to obtain simulated ultrasound echo data. Of note, tissue
deformation generated using a FE-simulator (FEBio) was the basis of
deforming the original virtual breast phantom in order to obtain the
postdeformation breast phantom for subsequent ultrasound simulations.
Using the procedures described above, a full cycle of QUE simulations
involving complex and highly heterogeneous virtual breast phantoms can
be accomplished for the first time.
Results: Representative examples were used to demonstrate capabilities
of this virtual simulation platform. In the first set of three
ultrasound simulation examples, three heterogeneous volumes of interest
were selected from a virtual breast ultrasound phantom to perform
sophisticated ultrasound simulations. These resultant B-mode images
realistically represented the underlying complex but known media. In the
second set of three QUE examples, advanced applications in QUE were
simulated. The first QUE example was to show breast tumors with complex
shapes and/or compositions. The resultant strain images showed complex
patterns that were normally seen in freehand clinical ultrasound data.
The second and third QUE examples demonstrated (deformation-dependent)
nonlinear strain imaging and time-dependent strain imaging,
respectively.
Conclusions: The proposed virtual QUE platform was implemented and
successfully tested in this study. Through show-case examples, the
proposed work has demonstrated its capabilities of creating
sophisticated QUE data in a way that cannot be done through the
manufacture of physical tissue-mimicking phantoms and other software.
This open software architecture will soon be made available in the
public domain and can be readily adapted to meet specific needs of
different research groups to drive innovations in QUE. (C) 2015 American

Abstract = {To meet the demands of research and precise point positioning (PPP) in a
multi-GNSS environment, we developed a GNSS data processing software
named multi-GNSS automatic precise positioning software (MG-APP). MG-APP
is an open-source software that can be run on Windows/Linux/UNIX and
other operating systems. It can simultaneously process
GPS/GLONASS/BDS/Galileo observations using a Kalman filter or a square
root information filter (SRIF). Compared to the Kalman filter, the SRIF
has better numerical stability and maintains stable convergence even
with a significant round-off error. MG-APP has a comprehensive and
friendly graphical user interface that conveniently allows the user to
select models and set parameters. It also contains several types of
tropospheric and estimation models that make it easy to analyze the
impact of different models and parameters on PPP data processing. After
the data processing finishes, zenith tropospheric delays, receiver clock
offsets, satellite ambiguity parameters, observation residuals, and
other results will be saved into files. Users can further analyze the
solution results and construct graphs easily.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) is an important asset in today's
software-intensive society. The success of OSS projects is highly
dependent on a number of factors. These factors must be understood and
managed as an OSS project progresses. Thus, project management of an OSS
project has a decisive role in ensuring the success of its software. The
objective of the research is to increase the understanding of the
resources affecting the competitiveness of OSS projects. Herewith, the
responsiveness of OSS projects to users' needs is assessed via an
investigation of the defect-fixing process. A Resource-Based View of the
firm (RBV) is used to build theoretical justifications for a set of
hypotheses proposed in this study. Data gathered from 427 OSS projects
confirmed that developers' interest in and users' contribution to the
project as well as frequently updating and releasing the software affect
the project's ability to gain competitive advantage through effective
defect-fixing. It is also shown that OSS projects that are more popular
and have a higher level of organizational communication than others are
more likely to gain competitive advantage through effective
defect-fixing. Finally, implications of the results for practitioners
and the research community are presented. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. APM and

Abstract = {It has often been found that students appreciate hands-on work, and find
that they learn more with courses that include a project than those
relying solely on conventional lectures and tests. This type of project
driven learning is a key component of ``Inquiry-based learning{''}

incorporating the student as an actor rather than a spectator. Robotics
applications are especially well-suited for IBL due to the value of
trial and error experience, the multiple possibilities for students to
implement their own ideas, and the importance of programming,
problem-solving, and electro-mechanical skills in real world engineering
and science jobs. Furthermore, robotics platforms can be useful teaching
media and learning tools for a variety of topics. Here, we present
RoboGen: an open-source, web-based, software, and hardware platform for
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence with a particular focus on
Evolutionary Robotics. We describe the platform in detail, compare it to
existing alternatives, and present results of its use as a platform for

Abstract = {Integrated Water Management at the Basin level is a concept that was
introduced in the 1990s and is a goal in every national and local water
management plan. Unfortunately this goal has not been achieved mainly
due to a lack of both tools and data management, as data must be
gathered from different sources and in different formats. Compounding
this problem is the fact that in some regions different water agencies
are in charge of water supply as is the case in the Basin of Mexico, in
which Mexico City and its Metropolitan Zone are located. The inhabitants
of the Basin of Mexico, which comprises five different political
entities and in which different agencies are in charge of water supply
rely on the Basin's aquifer system as its main water supply source.
However, a regional hydrogeological database in this area does not exist
which is why the use of both a Relational Database Management System
(RDMBS) and a Geographic Information System (GIS) is proposed in order
to improve regional data management in the study area. Data stored in
this new database, the Basin of Mexico Hydrogeological Database (BMHDB)
comprise data on climatological, borehole and run-off variables, readily
providing information for the development of hydrogeological models. A
simple example is used to show how geostatistical analysis can be done
using the data directly from the BMHDB. The structure of the BMHDB
allows easy maintenance and updating, representing a valuable tool for
the development of regional studies. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

Title = {Raising the general public's awareness and adoption of open source
software through social Q\&A interactions},
Journal = {ONLINE INFORMATION REVIEW},
Year = {2015},
Volume = {39},
Number = {1},
Pages = {119-139},
Abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the general public's
information needs concerning open source software (OSS) and OSS
answerers' motivations for sharing their knowledge of OSS in social
Q\&A.
Design/methodology/approach - Two studies were carried out. In Study 1,
a content analysis classifying OSS-related questions posted during
December 2005-December 2012 in Yahoo! Answers was employed to
investigate the general public's information needs regarding OSS. In
Study 2, an online survey was conducted with OSS answerers in Yahoo!
Answers in order to examine what motivates them to share and continue to
share their knowledge of OSS in social Q\&A. In total, 1,463 invitations
were sent out via Yahoo! Answers' internal e-mail function to those who
provided answers to OSS-related questions during September
2009-September 2012. In total, 150 usable surveys were returned and used
for data analysis.
Findings - The findings from Study 1 indicate that the general public is
most interested in finding out if there is OSS that meets their software
need in a certain category (51.4 percent). Other popular question
categories include the general description of OSS (15.6 percent),
technical issues that they have with OSS (9.8 percent), and the
advantages/disadvantages of using OSS (7.0 percent). Results on OSS
answerers' motivations from Study 2 support that all seven motivations
identified (i.e. altruism, enjoyment, ideology, learning, reputation,
reciprocity, and self-efficacy) are important, with the smallest mean
value being 4.42 out of seven (i.e. reciprocity). However, only
altruism, ideology, self-efficacy, and enjoyment were found to
significantly influence contribution continuance intention.
Practical implications - With social Q\&A growing in popularity, OSS
communities that look for ways to draw in more users from the general
public are recommended to increase their presence in social Q\&A. The
findings with regard to OSS answerers' motivations can also help OSS
community leaders attract and guide more members who are interested in
sharing their OSS knowledge in social Q\&A.
Originality/value - By classifying OSS-related questions that are
publicly available in Yahoo! Answers, this study offers a breakdown of
the general public's information needs regarding OSS. In addition,
results on OSS answerers' motivations suggest that in order to sustain
their member contributions in social Q\&A, OSS community leaders should
pay more attention to nurturing the motivations that are intrinsic (i.e.
altruism, self-efficacy, enjoyment) and integrated (i.e. ideology).},

Abstract = {Image-based water level measurements offer data quality assurance
through visual verification that no other method can provide. GaugeCam
Remote Image Manager-Educational 2 (GRIME2) is a mature, open-source
commercial friendly software application that automatically detects and
measures water level in laboratory and field settings. The software
relies on a dedicated target background for water line detection and
image calibration. The system detects the change in pixel gray scale
values associated with the intersection of the water level at the target
surface. Fiducials on the target background are used to precisely create
a pixel to real world coordinate transfer matrix and to correct for
camera movement. The presented software package implements the
algorithms and automates the water level measurement process, annotation
of images with result overlays, creation of animations, and output of
results to files that can be further analyzed in a spreadsheet or with R
or Python. These GRIME2 features are illustrated using imagery from a
coastal marsh field site. Tradeoffs between workflow and algorithm
complexity and ease of use are discussed and future improvements are
identified with the intention that this Findable, Accessible,
Interoperable, and Reusable-inspired software can be adopted, modified
and improved by the user community. While image resolution, quality and
other factors associated with field deployment (e.g., water surface
roughness, sun glare, shadows, and bio-fouling) will have an impact on
measurement quality, previous controlled laboratory testing that did not
manifest these issues showed potential for accuracy of +/- 3 mm (Gilmore
et al., 2013, ).},

automated manner. The source code, available at , is available for the
programming language Matlab featuring parallelization for distributed
computing, automated sensitivity and bifurcation analysis as well as
plotting functionalities. We illustrate the versatility and robustness
of bSTAB for four canonical dynamical systems from several fields of
nonlinear dynamics featuring periodic and chaotic dynamics, complicated
multi-stability, non-smooth dynamics, and fractal basins of attraction.
The bSTAB projects aims at fostering interdisciplinary scientific

Abstract = {The Fraunhofer thermal object model (FTOM) predicts the temperature of
an object as a function of the environmental conditions. The model has
an outer layer exchanging radiation and heat with the environment and a
stack of layers beyond modifying the thermal behavior. The orientation
of the layer is defined by the normal vector of the surface. The
innermost layer is at a constant or variable temperature called core
temperature. All the layers have heat capacity and thermal conductivity.
The outer layers properties are color (visible), emissivity (IR),
coefficients of free and forced convection, and a factor for latent
heat. The environmental parameters are air temperature, wind speed,
relative humidity, irradiation of the sun, and thermal radiation of the
sky and ground. The properties of the model (7 parameters) are fitted to
minimize the difference between the prediction and a time series of
measured temperatures. The size of the time series is one or more days
with 288 values per day (5 minute resolution). The model is useable for
very different objects like backgrounds (meadow, forest, rocks, sand, or
bricks) or parts of objects like vehicles.
The STANDCAM is a decoy of a vehicle and is used to constitute a thermal
signature and is not classified. The STANDCAM has a complex CAD-Model
with thousands of triangular facets that had to be simplified for the
thermal simulation. The CAD model was available through WTD 52, an
agency of the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information
Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw). Groups of elements of the
model facing in the same direction and behaving similarly were cut out
and grouped in distinct objects. The calculation of the temperature of
the objects is based on measured environmental data and the model
parameters are fitted on measured radiation temperatures of the objects
and backgrounds.
For the visualization the object is surrounded by a world texture. For
the radiation temperature of the environment and the ground under the
object measured air and meadow temperatures were used. The temperature
is coded as a color from a palette (here we use a grey palette) and is
updated regularly throughout the calculation of the scene for the
selected view and is stored as a texture bitmap. The animation of the
temperature textures is directly performed by BLENDER. The result of the
visualization is available as movie that is watchable in real time or
time lapse.},

Abstract = {We present the software library marathon, which is designed to support
the analysis of sampling algorithms that are based on the Markov-Chain
Monte Carlo principle. The main application of this library is the
computation of properties of so-called state graphs, which represent the
structure of Markov chains. We demonstrate applications and the
usefulness of marathon by investigating the quality of several bounding
methods on four well-known Markov chains for sampling perfect matchings
and bipartite graphs. In a set of experiments, we compute the total
mixing time and several of its bounds for a large number of input
instances. We find that the upper bound gained by the famous canonical
path method is often several magnitudes larger than the total mixing
time and deteriorates with growing input size. In contrast, the spectral
bound is found to be a precise approximation of the total mixing time.},

Abstract = {Background: Many biological laboratories that deal with genomic samples
are facing the problem of sample tracking, both for pure laboratory
management and for efficiency. Our laboratory exploits PCR techniques
and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) methods to perform high-throughput
integration site monitoring in different clinical trials and scientific
projects. Because of the huge amount of samples that we process every
year, which result in hundreds of millions of sequencing reads, we need
to standardize data management and tracking systems, building up a
scalable and flexible structure with web-based interfaces, which are
usually called Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).
Methods: We started collecting end-users' requirements, composed of
desired functionalities of the system and Graphical User Interfaces
(GUI), and then we evaluated available tools that could address our
requirements, spanning from pure LIMS to Content Management Systems
(CMS) up to enterprise information systems. Our analysis identified
ADempiere ERP, an open source Enterprise Resource Planning written in
Java J2EE, as the best software that also natively implements some
highly desirable technological advances, such as the high usability and
modularity that grants high use-case flexibility and software
scalability for custom solutions.
Results: We extended and customized ADempiere ERP to fulfil LIMS
requirements and we developed adLIMS. It has been validated by our
end-users verifying functionalities and GUIs through test cases for PCRs
samples and pre-sequencing data and it is currently in use in our
laboratories. adLIMS implements authorization and authentication
policies, allowing multiple users management and roles definition that
enables specific permissions, operations and data views to each user.
For example, adLIMS allows creating sample sheets from stored data using
available exporting operations. This simplicity and process
standardization may avoid manual errors and information backtracking,
features that are not granted using track recording on files or
spreadsheets.
Conclusions: adLIMS aims to combine sample tracking and data reporting
features with higher accessibility and usability of GUIs, thus allowing
time to be saved on doing repetitive laboratory tasks, and reducing
errors with respect to manual data collection methods. Moreover, adLIMS
implements automated data entry, exploiting sample data multiplexing and
parallel/transactional processing. adLIMS is natively extensible to cope
with laboratory automation through platform-dependent API interfaces,
and could be extended to genomic facilities due to the ERP
functionalities.},

Abstract = {Camera-based in-vivo optical imaging can provide detailed images of
living tissue that reveal structure, function, and disease. Highspeed,
high resolution imaging can reveal dynamic events such as changes in
blood flow and responses to stimulation. Despite these benefits,
commercially available scientific cameras rarely include software that
is suitable for in-vivo imaging applications, making this highly
versatile form of optical imaging challenging and time-consuming to
implement. To address this issue, we have developed a novel, open-source
software package to control high-speed, multispectral optical imaging
systems. The software integrates a number of modular functions through a
custom graphical user interface (GUI) and provides extensive control
over a wide range of inexpensive IEEE 1394 Firewire cameras.
Multispectral illumination can be incorporated through the use of
off-the-shelf light emitting diodes which the software synchronizes to
image acquisition via a programmed microcontroller, allowing arbitrary
high-speed illumination sequences. The complete software suite is
available for free download. Here we describe the software's framework
and provide details to guide users with development of this and similar
software. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America},

Abstract = {During software maintenance activities an accurate prediction of the
bug-fixing time can support software managers to better resources and
time allocation. In this work, each bug report is endowed with a
response variable (bug-fixing time), external to its words, that we are
interested in predicting. To analyze the bug reports collections, we
used a supervised Latent Dirichlet Allocation (sLDA), whose goal is to
infer latent topics that are predictive of the response. The bug reports
and the responses are jointly modeled, to find latent topics that will
best predict the response variables for future unlabeled bug reports.
With a fitted model in hand, we can infer the topic structure of an
unlabeled bug report and then form a prediction of its response. sLDA
adds to LDA a response variable connected to each bug report. Two
different variants of the bag-of-words (BoW) model are used as baseline
discriminative algorithms and also an unsupervised LDA is considered. To
evaluate the proposed approach the defect tracking dataset of LiveCode,
a well-known and large dataset, was used. Results show that SLDA
improves recall of the predicted bug-fixing times compared to other BoW
single topic or multi-topic supervised algorithms.},

Analysis and Simulation of Electrophysiological Data},
Journal = {FRONTIERS IN NEUROINFORMATICS},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {12},
Month = {APR 4},
Abstract = {Acquisition, analysis and simulation of electrophysiological properties
of the nervous system require multiple software packages. This makes it
difficult to conserve experimental metadata and track the analysis
performed. It also complicates certain experimental approaches such as
online analysis. To address this, we developed NeuroMatic, an
open-source software toolkit that performs data acquisition (episodic,
continuous and triggered recordings), data analysis (spike rasters,
spontaneous event detection, curve fitting, stationarity) and
simulations (stochastic synaptic transmission, synaptic short-term
plasticity, integrate-and-fire and Hodgkin-Huxley-like
single-compartment models). The merging of a wide range of tools into a
single package facilitates a more integrated style of research, from the
development of online analysis functions during data acquisition, to the
simulation of synaptic conductance trains during dynamic-clamp
experiments. Moreover, NeuroMatic has the advantage of working within
Igor Pro, a platform-independent environment that includes an extensive
library of built-in functions, a history window for reviewing the user's
workflow and the ability to produce publication-quality graphics. Since
its original release, NeuroMatic has been used in a wide range of
scientific studies and its user base has grown considerably. NeuroMatic

the use of an OSS is actually hard for its beginners, because many OSSes
have few good manuals, where they have usually been developed by
volunteers. Besides, the installation of an OSS package sometimes
requires installations of multiple OSS packages to be integrated
together In this paper we propose a method of automatically generating
an installation manual of an OSS package, including the one requiring
the integration of multiple OSS packages. Then, we implement the
proposed method for evaluations. Our experimental results in
installations of OSS packages including the one requiring the
integration of four packages by generated manuals verify the
effectiveness of our method.},

Abstract = {Urban polycentricity has become a key concept in urban and regional
studies and is increasingly adopted as an organizational framework for
conducting empirical research. Within this literature, polycentric urban
regions are commonly defined as territories that have multiple,
proximately located (sub)centers and are characterized by balanced urban
development. However, analytical-operational frameworks to identify and
classify PURs are often ad hoc efforts to answer a specific research
question and underlying work is often shelved rather than shared and/or
made accessible. As a result, challenges associated with
generalizability, reproducibility, and replicability clearly loom large
in the urban polycentricity literature. Against this backdrop, this
article describes the discrepancy between a rich debate on
polycentricity and the paucity of tools enabling the disambiguation and
reproducibility of results claimed by various authors around this
polysemic concept. We present an online and open tool-PURban-that brings
together the major analytical-operational frameworks and data sets in
urban polycentricity research and allows parametrizing key operational
choices. To illustrate the tool, we demonstrate how it facilitates the
identification, mapping and analysis of degrees of morphological
polycentricity in European urban systems. We conclude by reflecting on
how this tool can act as a catalyst for future research on urban
polycentricity.},

Year = {2022},
Volume = {49},
Number = {11},
Pages = {7327-7335},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {Background Dose-outcome studies in radiation oncology have historically
excluded spatial information due to dose-volume histograms being the
most dominant source of dosimetric information. In recent years,
dose-surface maps (DSMs) have become increasingly popular for
characterization of spatial dose distributions and identification of
radiosensitive subregions for hollow organs. However, methodological
variations and lack of open-source, publicly offered code-sharing
between research groups have limited reproducibility and wider adoption.
Purpose This paper presents rtdsm, an open-source software for DSM
calculation with the intent to improve the reproducibility of and the
access to DSM-based research in medical physics and radiation oncology.
Methods A literature review was conducted to identify essential
functionalities and prevailing calculation approaches to guide
development. The described software has been designed to calculate DSMs
from DICOM data with a high degree of user customizability and to
facilitate DSM feature analysis. Core functionalities include DSM
calculation, equivalent dose conversions, common DSM feature extraction,
and simple DSM accumulation. Results A number of use cases were used to
qualitatively and quantitatively demonstrate the use and usefulness of
rtdsm. Specifically, two DSM slicing methods, planar and noncoplanar,
were implemented and tested, and the effects of method choice on output
DSMs were demonstrated. An example comparison of DSMs from two different
treatments was used to highlight the use cases of various built-in
analysis functions for equivalent dose conversion and DSM feature
extraction. Conclusions We developed and implemented rtdsm as a
standalone software that provides all essential functionalities required
to perform a DSM-based study. It has been made freely accessible under
an open-source license on Github to encourage collaboration and
community use.},

Abstract = {National greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories are essential for public
policy planning to mitigate GHG emissions. They provide critical
information and enhance environmental integrity in planning and
development of GHG mitigation policy.
The characteristics of a high quality inventory are that it follows good
practice according to the IPCC guidelines. The key components of good
practice are that the inventory is transparent to others, has accurate
and complete emissions estimates for all gases, sources and sinks; has
consistent application of methods across time; and is comparable to
inventories from other countries {[}1]. While developed countries
struggle with implementation of good practice, most can produce
reasonably high quality inventories {[}2]. However, the task is more
challenging in low lying pacific island countries. Some of the specific
challenges include: lack of clarity on roles and responsibilities of
agencies in preparing inventories; small teams with limited resources;
difficulty in retaining expertise; incomplete or non-existent activity
data; inconsistent data between inventories; absence of an archiving
system for previous inventories; no QA/QC plan {[}3].
As part of the UN-REDD Programme project on ``Strengthening Regional
Support to National Forest Monitoring Systems for REDD+ in the
Pacific{''} a Regional Monitoring System has been developed to support
low lying pacific island countries (Republic of Palau, Tuvalu, Cook
Islands, Tonga, Republic of Kiribati, and Federated States of
Micronesia). Using the Republic of Palau as a case study, we present
this system and focus on four main challenges; 1) improving activity
data compilation through systematic land use assessment 2) application
of simple land use mapping algorithms 3) application of a regional
geo-spatial portal to support improved data management 4) application of
open-source land use analysis systems to help manage and analyze
inventory data.},

Abstract = {Ineffective evaluation of open-source software learning management
system (OSS-LMS) packages can negatively impact organizational
effectiveness. Clients may struggle to select the best OSS-LMS package
from a wide range of options, leading to a complex multi-criteria group
decision -making (MCGDM) problem. This evaluates OSS-LMS packages based
on several criteria like us-ability, functionality, e-learning
standards, reliability, activity tracking, course development,
assess-ment, backup and recovery, error reporting, efficiency, operating
system compatibility, computer -managed instruction, authentication,
authorization, troubleshooting, maintenance, upgrading, and scalability.
Handling uncertain data is a vital aspect of OSS-LMS package evaluation.
To tackle MCGDM issues, this study presents a consensus weighted sum
product (c-WASPAS) method which is applied to an educational OSS-LMS
package selection problem to evaluate four OSS-LMS pack-ages, namely
ATutor, eFront, Moodle, and Sakai. The findings indicate that the
priority order of alternatives is Moodle > Sakai > eFront > ATutor and,
therefore, MOODLE is the best OSS-LMS package for the case study. A
sensitivity analysis of criteria weights is also conducted, as well as a
comparative study, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed
method. It is essential to note that proper OSS-LMS package evaluation
is crucial to avoid negative impacts on organizational per-formance. By
addressing MCGDM issues and dealing with uncertain information, the
c-WASPAS method presented in this study can assist clients in selecting
the most appropriate OSS-LMS pack-age from multiple alternatives. The
findings of this study can benefit educational institutions and other
organizations that rely on OSS-LMS packages to run their operations.},

Design/methodology/approach - Through an empirical, interpretive case
study and a literature review utilising the metaphor of text in the
analysis, this paper provides a refined conceptualisation of user
participation in OSS development.
Findings - The paper reveals that different kinds of meanings have been
attached to users and to their participation. User participation is both
direct and indirect in the OSS development context. Some user groups
actively take part in OSS development, while others are merely
represented in it. Different kinds of intermediaries ``representing the
users{''} are identified.
Research limitations/implications - The research is based on one case
study on a small but active OSS project with an interest in users. Other
kinds of OSS projects should be analysed. The analysis was focused on a
discussion forum, but users can take part in OSS development by other
means as well. Paths for future work should include the gathering of
more varied empirical data.
Practical implications - The findings indicate that users can provide
feedback to the development through discussion forums in the distributed
environment, but there is a need to support the users in doing so and
the developers in analysing the data. The importance of different kinds
of intermediaries ``representing the users{''} is highlighted.
Originality/value - The paper provides thorough empirical insights and a
refined conceptualisation of user participation addressing the currently
weakly empirically explored OSS development context.},

Abstract = {There are numerous reasons leading to change in software such as
changing requirements, changing technology, increasing customer demands,
fixing of defects etc. Thus, identifying and analyzing the change-prone
classes of the software during software evolution is gaining wide
importance in the field of software engineering. This would help
software developers to judiciously allocate the resources used for
testing and maintenance. Software metrics can be used for constructing
various classification models which can be used for timely
identification of change prone classes. Search based algorithms which
form a subset of machine learning algorithms can be utilized for
constructing prediction models to identify change prone classes of
software. Search based algorithms use a fitness function to find the
best optimal solution among all the possible solutions. In this work, we
analyze the effectiveness of hybridized search based algorithms for
change prediction. In other words, the aim of this work is to find
whether search based algorithms are capable for accurate model
construction to predict change prone classes. We have also constructed
models using machine learning techniques and compared the performance of
these models with the models constructed using Search Based Algorithms.
The validation is carried out on two open source Apache projects, Rave
and Commons Math. The results prove the effectiveness of hybridized
search based algorithms in predicting change prone classes of software.
Thus, they can be utilized by the software developers to produce an
efficient and better developed software. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All

Abstract = {This paper provides a new open -source software, named BioReactPy, for
simulation of microbial -mediated coupled processes of flow and reactive
transport in porous media. The software is based on the microcontinuum
approach, and geochemistry is handled in a fully coupled manner with
biomass -nutrient growth treated with Monod equation in a single
integrated framework, without dependencies on third party packages. The
distinguishing features of the software, its design principles, and
formulation of multiphysics problems and discretizations are discussed.
Validation of the Python implementation using several established
benchmarks for flow, reactive transport, and biomass growth is
presented. The flexibility of the framework is then illustrated by
simulations of highly non -linearly coupled flow and microbial reactive
transport at conditions relevant to carbon mineralization for CO 2
storage. All results can be reproduced by openly available simulation
scripts.},

models are a flexible, concise, and expressive probabilistic modeling
framework with which one may rapidly specify a vast collection of
statistical models. This paper begins with a brief description of the
representational and computational aspects of the framework. Following
that is a detailed description of GMTK's features, including a language
for specifying structures and probability distributions, logarithmic
space exact training and decoding procedures, the concept of switching
parents, and a generalized EM training method which allows arbitrary
sub-Gaussian parameter tying. Taken together, these features endow GMTK
with a degree of expressiveness and functionality that significantly
complements other publically available packages. GMTK was recently used
in the 2001 Johns Hopkins Summer Workshop, and experimental results are
described in detail both herein and in a companion paper.},

Abstract = {Due to its speed, accuracy, and adaptability to varioussampletypes,
matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry(MALDI-MS)
has become a popular method to identify molecular isotopeprofiles from
biological samples. Often MALDI-MS data do not includetandem MS
fragmentation data, and thus the identification of compoundsin samples
requires external databases so that the accurate mass ofdetected signals
can be matched to known molecular compounds. Mostrelevant MALDI-MS
software tools developed to confirm compound identificationsare focused
on small molecules (e.g., metabolites,lipids) and cannot be easily
adapted to protein data due to theirmore complex isotopic distributions.
Here, we present an R packagecalled IsoMatchMS for the automated
annotation ofMALDI-MS data for multiple datatypes: intact proteins,
peptides, andglycans. This tool accepts already derived molecular
formulas or,for proteomics applications, can derive molecular formulas
from alist of input peptides or proteins including proteins with
post-translationalmodifications. Visualization of all matched isotopic
profiles is providedin a highly accessible HTML format called a
trelliscope display, whichallows users to filter and sort by several
parameters such as matchscores and the number of peaks matched.
IsoMatchMS simplifies the annotation and visualization of MALDI-MS data

novo molecular generation and cheminformatics},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF CHEMINFORMATICS},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {13},
Number = {1},
Month = {SEP 25},
Abstract = {Many contemporary cheminformatics methods, including computer-aided de
novo drug design, hold promise to significantly accelerate and reduce
the cost of drug discovery. Thanks to this attractive outlook, the field
has thrived and in the past few years has seen an especially significant
growth, mainly due to the emergence of novel methods based on deep
neural networks. This growth is also apparent in the development of
novel de novo drug design methods with many new generative algorithms
now available. However, widespread adoption of new generative techniques
in the fields like medicinal chemistry or chemical biology is still
lagging behind the most recent developments. Upon taking a closer look,
this fact is not surprising since in order to successfully integrate the
most recent de novo drug design methods in existing processes and
pipelines, a close collaboration between diverse groups of experimental
and theoretical scientists needs to be established. Therefore, to
accelerate the adoption of both modern and traditional de novo molecular
generators, we developed Generator User Interface (GenUI), a software
platform that makes it possible to integrate molecular generators within
a feature-rich graphical user interface that is easy to use by experts
of diverse backgrounds. GenUI is implemented as a web service and its
interfaces offer access to cheminformatics tools for data preprocessing,
model building, molecule generation, and interactive chemical space
visualization. Moreover, the platform is easy to extend with
customizable frontend React.js components and backend Python extensions.
GenUI is open source and a recently developed de novo molecular
generator, DrugEx, was integrated as a proof of principle. In this work,
we present the architecture and implementation details of GenUI and
discuss how it can facilitate collaboration in the disparate communities
interested in de novo molecular generation and computer-aided drug
discovery.},

Volume = {17},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) has become one of the modern software
development methods. OSS is mainly developed by developers, volunteers,
and users all over the world, but its reliability has been widely
questioned. When OSS faults are detected, volunteers or users send them
to developers by email or network. After the developer confirms the
fault, it will be randomly assigned to the debugger who may be a
developer, a volunteer, or a user. These open source community
contributors also have the phenomenon of learning when removing faults.
When the detected faults are removed, the number of introduced faults
decreases gradually. Therefore, this study proposes a software
reliability model with the decreasing trend of fault introduction in the
process of OSS development and testing. The validity of the proposed
model and the accuracy of estimating residual faults are verified by
experiments. The proposed model can be used to evaluate the reliability
and predict the remaining faults in the actual OSS development and
testing process.},

Abstract = {EU's vision of digital sovereignty conflicts with tools and platforms
used in modern working life. We are dependent on software controlled by
global technology giants.
The dependence on commonly used services and platforms provided by
Microsoft, Google or Amazon must be removed to achieve digital
sovereignty. Open-source software has been readily available for a long
time, but studies looking into excluding all proprietary software from
working life are scarce. This paper investigates the feasibility of
replacing proprietary software as a step towards digital sovereignty.
The ability to self-host services is key to ensuring independence, and
the ability to verify software code is key to ensuring integrity.
Therefore open-source code and transparency are transient properties for
sovereign software. We present problems by mapping the problematic
software used by teachers, researchers and student assistants at Arcada
UAS with a varied set of requirements on the digital tools of their
daily lives. We research alternatives and deploy a suite of software
compatible with EU policies on digital sovereignty.
We rely on many services offered by tech giants in our professional
lives. There are several open-source software suites that can be
self-hosted and that have permissive licenses for business use.
Extensive technical knowledge is required for the deployment of
software. Most daily tasks can be accomplished by using sovereign
software, although not all needs of the test group were met.
Companies can deploy sovereign software for most daily tasks, reducing
dependency on tech giants. However, software adoption was low. Arcadas
IT-support does not host, enforce or endorse the usage of sovereign
software. Public code repositories enable independent code verification,
in contrast to proprietary software. Some software cannot be easily
replaced, and digital habits are hard to change.},

Abstract = {The ability to access, design and create low cost sensors capable of

Low-cost spectroscopy is one such application and mobile phone
camera-based instruments have been used in pollution monitoring, medical
applications in developing countries and vegetation analysis. Can such
an instrument be developed and tested to assist with automated detection
of materials, possibly from space? We tested two spectrometer designs
inside a two unit (2U) cubesat frame against a series of materials
exhibiting phenomenology in the visible/near infrared (Vis/NIR) portion
of the spectrum and vegetation groups. This was conducted in order to
determine whether open source designs were capable of discriminating
against similar materials, such as types of vegetation or types of
iron-rich minerals. A spectral pipeline was created using open source
programming software that was capable of converting raw sensor data into
spectra, comparing samples of interest against a spectral library and
returning an identification result with a confidence interval. We found
that low-cost hardware sensitive to NIR and freely available software
were able to identify types of materials in the study set, enabling
applications in citizen science, education and outreach or even low-cost
near-space research.},

examples of operational use and discussing past and current limitations.
The examples are extracted from a sequence of projects carried out in
Natural Parks of the Province of Barcelona (Catalonia, NE Spain),
including the use of calibrated satellite vegetation index to monitor
recovery after fire, multi-criteria analysis to rank abandoned fields
for restoration, generalization of vegetation maps using a
double-criteria hierarchical clustering, and planning and initial
evaluation of aerial campaigns with a small remote-controlled aerial
vehicle. Our use of open-source software steadily increased through this
sequence of projects, with the R language and environment for
statistical computing occupying a central position in our set of tools,
but our applications also made use of proprietary software.},

Title = {Modeling the Chemoelectromechanical Behavior of Skeletal Muscle Using
the Parallel Open-Source Software Library OpenCMISS},
Journal = {COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {2013},
Abstract = {An extensible, flexible, multiscale, and multiphysics model for
nonisometric skeletal muscle behavior is presented. The skeletal muscle
chemoelectromechanical model is based on a bottom-up approach modeling
the entire excitation-contraction pathway by strongly coupling a
detailed biophysical model of a half-sarcomere to the propagation of
action potentials along skeletal muscle fibers and linking cellular
parameters to a transversely isotropic continuum-mechanical constitutive
equation describing the overall mechanical behavior of skeletal muscle
tissue. Since the multiscale model exhibits separable time scales, a
special emphasis is placed on employing computationally efficient
staggered solution schemes. Further, the implementation builds on the
open-source software library OpenCMISS and uses state-of-the-art
parallelization techniques taking advantage of the unique anatomical
fiber architecture of skeletal muscles. OpenCMISS utilizes standardized
data structures for geometrical aspects (FieldML) and cellular models
(CellML). Both standards are designed to allow for a maximum
flexibility, reproducibility, and extensibility. The results demonstrate
the model's capability of simulating different aspects of nonisometric
muscle contraction and efficiently simulating the chemoelectromechanical
behavior in complex skeletal muscles such as the tibialis anterior
muscle.},

Abstract = {As the AI revolution unfolds, the push toward automating support systems
in diverse professional fields ranging from open-source software to
healthcare, and banking to transportation has become more pronounced.
Central to the automation of these systems is the early detection of
named entities, a task that is foundational yet fraught with challenges
due to the need for domain-specific expert annotations amid a backdrop
of specialized terminologies, making the process both costly and
complex. In response to this challenge, our paper presents an innovative
named entity recognition (NER) framework (https://github.
com/NeuralSentinel/DistALANER) tailored for the open-source software
domain. Our method stands out by employing a distantly supervised,
two-step annotation process that cleverly exploits language heuristics,
bespoke lookup tables, external knowledge bases, and an active learning
model. This multifaceted strategy not only elevates model performance
but also addresses the critical hurdles of high costs and the dearth of
expert annotators. A notable achievement of our approach is its
capability to enable pre-large language models (pre-LLMs) to
significantly outperform specially designed generic/domain specific LLMs
for NER tasks. We also show the effectiveness of NER in the downstream
task of relation extraction.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) communities have been witnessing growing
commercial interests with increased corporate involvement in the recent
years with acquisitions of major OSS platforms such as Red Hat and
GitHub. Researchers have studied a wide variety of motivations behind
individuals' participation in OSS communities. In this study, we build
upon the framework, rooted in self-deterministic and social practice
theories, proposed by von Krogh et al. (2012) and develop a model of OSS
contribution likelihood. We empirically validate the model with a large
dataset from 2017 GitHub Open Source Survey that includes over 5,500
randomly selected OSS developers. Results indicate that short-term
and/or tangible motivations (carrots) and long-term, value-based factors
(rainbows) influence OSS developers' contribution likelihood. However,
carrots are relatively more important. Further, we find that as internal
self-efficacy increases, effect of OSS hiring behind contribution to OSS
decreases. Our research contributes to theory and practice.},

the fact that the addition of new features or change requests into the
OSS project may cause an increase in vulnerability. Further, the
relation between software vulnerabilities and popularity is also
examined. This research does not find the existence of any relationship
among software vulnerabilities and popularity. This research will
provide significant implications to the developers and project managers

propose a method of reliability assessment based oil the bayesian

deep-learning molecular wave functions},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {159},
Number = {9},
Month = {SEP 7},
Abstract = {Computing accurate yet efficient approximations to the solutions of the
electronic Schrodinger equation has been a paramount challenge of
computational chemistry for decades. Quantum Monte Carlo methods are a
promising avenue of development as their core algorithm exhibits a
number of favorable properties: it is highly parallel and scales
favorably with the considered system size, with an accuracy that is
limited only by the choice of the wave function Ansatz. The recently
introduced machine-learned parametrizations of quantum Monte Carlo
Ansatze rely on the efficiency of neural networks as universal function
approximators to achieve state of the art accuracy on a variety of
molecular systems. With interest in the field growing rapidly, there is
a clear need for easy to use, modular, and extendable software libraries
facilitating the development and adoption of this new class of methods.
In this contribution, the DEEPQMC program package is introduced, in an
attempt to provide a common framework for future investigations by
unifying many of the currently available deep-learning quantum Monte
Carlo architectures. Furthermore, the manuscript provides a brief
introduction to the methodology of variational quantum Monte Carlo in
real space, highlights some technical challenges of optimizing neural
network wave functions, and presents example black-box applications of
the program package. We thereby intend to make this novel field
accessible to a broader class of practitioners from both the quantum
chemistry and the machine learning communities.},

``sensitivity to the natural environmental{''}.
The present study aimed at developing an exemplary application for the
social studies lessons on map-scale issues by the use of Google Earth
images and an open-source GIS software, QGIS. The main objective here is
to enable students construct a map of the place in which they live by
the help of Google Earth images and open-source GIS software. For the
activity, students first download the maps of where they live from the
Google Earth application; and then they carry out a number of tasks to
create their own maps with all the aspects such as length, direction and
so in order to develop their skills on map reading.
In this present study, by doing such an exemplary lesson activity,
students create maps of where they live; that is, they integrate
technology into their learning environment as well as they exercise
active learning principles which help them grasp the knowledge, skills
and values better.},

solver Elmer FEM. Meshes were generated with Gmsh software and data
visualization was done with the use of application ParaView, all of
which are open-source software. The chosen software satisfied criteria
of being simple to learn, being compatible with widely used file formats
and having an active community. What is more, it allows the user to
solve multiphysics problems. The object of simulations was a prototype
of a graphene flow meter, developed by Industrial Research Institute for

Abstract = {A great deal of production and consumption behavior takes place in the
context of social organizations that seem to fall outside of the
traditional paradigm of profit/utility maximization. These organizations
are voluntary in nature and rely on contributions from members to
achieve their objectives. Examples include the Linux operating system
and other FOSS projects, political movements, churches and religious
groups, Habitat for Humanity, and similar charitable organizations. In
this paper, we consider a world containing agents with heterogeneous
abilities who may voluntarily choose to make effort contributions to one
or more different public projects. Agents are motivated by a desire to
be seen as significant contributors to important and valuable projects,
the warm glow from the act of contributing, and a desire to directly
enjoy the benefits of projects when complete. We find that contributions
from others can be either strategic complements or substitutes. We show
that Nash equilibria exist and study how agents' abilities and project
quality affect the equilibrium levels of contributions.},

Journal = {OPTICS AND LASERS IN ENGINEERING},
Year = {2022},

Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {Generating digital speckle image and its corresponding deformed image is
the basis of digital image correlation research. At present, however, it
still lacks a powerful, easy-to-use, and user-friendly professional
software concerning generation and assessment of digital speckle
pattern. Researchers have to reimplement the generation algorithms in
literature by themselves, which is time-consuming and error-prone. This
paper reports a free and open-source software, Glare, for generation and
assessment of digital speckle pattern. Glare has functions including
generating speckle patterns, rendering deformed images, assessing
pattern quality, and presenting pattern recommendations: Glare can
generate ellipse, polygon, and Gaussian speckle patterns; can render
deformed images with underlying deformation fields of translation,
stretch/compression, rotation, sinusoidal deformation, Gaussian
deformation, and Portevin-Le Chatelier band deformation; can calculate
key pattern quality assessment parameters such as speckle coverage,
speckle size, systematic error, and random error; can produce optimized
speckle pattern in form of vector image. The software realizes real-time
deformed image rendering with the aid of fast initial value estimation
algorithm for backward mapping and pattern pre-rendering technique, and
improves the computational efficiency of sum of square of subset
intensity gradients by integral image method. In general, the software
can be used not only for scientific research and engineering
applications in digital image correlation community but also for
education of experimental mechanics, and therefore has broad prospects.},

Abstract = {This study proposes a visualization that can assist computer scientists
and data scientists to make decisions by exploring technology trends.
While it is important for them to understand the technology trends in
the rapidly changing computer science and data science fields, it takes
considerable time and knowledge to acquire good information about these
trends. Particularly, data/computer scientists with little experience in
the field find it difficult to obtain information on such trends.
Therefore, we propose a visualization system that can easily and quickly
explore the technology trends in computer and data science. This study
aims to identify the key technologies and developers in a specific
field, and other technologies deeply related to specific technologies,
and explore the changes in popularity of technologies, languages, and
libraries over time. This study includes two case studies to obtain
information using the proposed visualization. We demonstrate our system
with GitHub repositories data.},

Abstract = {This paper presents an open-source software package, rSCA, which is
developed based upon a stepwise cluster analysis method and serves as a
statistical tool for modeling the relationships between multiple
dependent and independent variables. The rSCA package is efficient in
dealing with both continuous and discrete variables, as well as
nonlinear relationships between the variables. It divides the sample
sets of dependent variables into different subsets (or subclusters)
through a series of cutting and merging operations based upon the theory
of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The modeling results are
given by a cluster tree, which includes both intermediate and leaf
subclusters as well as the flow paths from the root of the tree to each
leaf subcluster specified by a series of cutting and merging actions.
The rSCA package is a handy and easy-to-use tool and is freely available
at http://cran.r-project.org/package=rSCA. By applying the developed
package to air quality management in an urban environment, we
demonstrate its effectiveness in dealing with the complicated
relationships among multiple variables in real-world problems.},

Abstract = {Biological semiflexible polymers and filaments such as collagen,
fibronectin, actin, microtubules, coiled-coil proteins, DNA, siRNA,
amyloid fibrils, etc., are ubiquitous in nature. In biology, these
systems have a direct relation to critical processes ranging from the
movement of actin or assembly of viruses at cellular interfaces to the
growth of amyloid plaques in neuro-degenerative diseases. In technology
and applied sciences, synthetic macromolecules or fibrous objects such
as carbon nanotubes are involved in countless applications. Accessing
their intrinsic properties at the single molecule level, such as their
molecular conformations or intrinsic stiffness, is central to the
understanding of these systems, their properties, and the design of
related applications. In this Perspective we introduce FiberApp a new
tracking and analysis software based on a cascade of algorithms
describing structural and topological features of objects characterized
by a very high length-to-width aspect ratio, generally described as
``fiber-like objects{''}. The program operates on images from any
microscopic source (atomic force or transmission electron microscopy,
optical, fluorescence, confocal, etc.), acquiring the spatial
coordinates of objects by a semiautomated tracking procedure based on
A{*} pathfinding algorithm followed by the application of active contour
models and generating virtually any statistical, topological, and
graphical output derivable from these coordinates. Demonstrative
features of the software include statistical polymer physics analysis of
fiber conformations, height, bond and pair correlation functions,
mean-squared end-to-end distance and midpoint displacement, 2D order
parameter, excess kurtosis, fractal exponent, height profile and its
discrete Fourier transform, orientation, length, height, curvature, and
kink angle distributions, providing an unprecedented structural
description of filamentous synthetic and biological objects.},

(UAV) are one that indeed requires IMA to reduce SWaP. In this study, we
design and implement UAV control and mission software over ARINC 653.
Especially we utilize our Linux-based ARINC-653, which can provide
abundant development tools, software libraries, and device drivers due
to the nature of Linux. Our control and mission software include
Operational Flight Program (OFP), Video Streaming Program (VSP), Ground
Control Program (GCP), and Ground Monitoring Program (GMP). We test our
programs in a HILS environment and show that these run correctly in
terms of functionality and real-time requirements. Our study also
suggests few extensions for process scheduling and inter-partition
communication of ARINC 653.},

Abstract = {In this age of -omics data-guided big data revolution, metabolomics has
received significant attention as compared to genomics, transcriptomics,
and proteomics for its proximity to the phenotype, the promises it makes
and the challenges it throws. Although metabolomes of entire organisms,
organs, biofluids, and tissues are of immense interest, a cell-specific
resolution is deemed critical for biomedical applications where a
granular understanding of cellular metabolism at cell-type and
subcellular resolution is desirable. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a
versatile technique that is used to analyze a broad range of compounds
from different species and cell-types, with high accuracy, resolution,
sensitivity, selectivity, and fast data acquisition speeds. With recent
advances in MS and spectroscopy-based platforms, the research community
is able to generate high-throughput data sets from single cells.
However, it is challenging to handle, store, process, analyze, and
interpret data in a routine manner. In this treatise, I present a
workflow of metabolomics data generation from single cells and
single-cell types to their analysis, visualization, and interpretation
for obtaining biological insights.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) communities do not often invest in marketing
strategies to promote their products in a competitive way. Even the home
pages of the web portals of well-known OSS products show technicalities

interested in evaluating and potentially adopting an OSS product are
often negatively impressed by the quality perception they have from the
web portal of the product and turn to proprietary software solutions or
fail to adopt OSS that may be useful in their activities. In this paper,
we define OP2A, an evaluation model and we derive a checklist that OSS
developers and web masters can use to design (or improve) their web
portals with all the contents that are expected to be of interest for
OSS final users. We exemplify the use of the model by applying it to the
Apache Tomcat web portal and we apply the model to 47 web sites of
well-known OSS products to highlight the current deficiencies that
characterize these web portals.},

Abstract = {The competiveness of Open Source Software (OSS) communities depends on
the quantity and combination of resources and competencies attracted to

given the lack of proprietary control over source code, the way
mechanisms of governance combine through a coherent and emergent process
of governance is important to shaping the attractiveness and
sustainability of these communities. Despite their importance, we still
know little about how governance mechanisms are combined in 055
communities. This paper contributes to filling part of that gap. The
study is based on an explorative factor analysis conducted on a database

OSS governance is configurational, and highlights four likely

Abstract = {Mangrove forest has a major role in the process of human-environment
interaction, but almost every mangrove forest in the world is under
threat. In Indonesia alone, 25\% of South East Asia's mangroves are at a
risk. The continued decline in mangrove forest induced by anthropogenic
activity has made all the stakeholders who have the concern at the
mangrove forest preservation worried, including the government. There
were several programs have been performed by the government to preserve
the mangrove forest. One of the programs was ``Mangrove Rehabilitation
Program in three districts: Ciamis, Indramayu, and Subang{''} held by
Forestry Department of West Java Province in 2007. The aims of this
study were to assess the changes in mangrove forest area before the
program performed and to evaluate the successfulness of the program,
using the increasing of mangrove forest area as a parameter. This study
was conducted only in Subang and Indramayu Districts of West Java,
Indonesia. The assessment was conducted using Landsat 4-5 TM, Landsat 7
ETM+, and Landsat 8 OLI acquired in 1996, 2006, and 2016 respectively.
For each image, a supervised classification method was performed using
open source GRASS GIS software. The resulting maps were then compared to
quantify the changes. Field work activity conducted and confirmed the
changes that occurred in the study areas. Our study shows that all of
the two districts exhibit successfulness of the plantation program.
Ground truth survey confirmed that the successfulness of the plantation
program is due to the participation of communities in the area of study.
This study also shows that by using open source software and freely
available satellite images, the fast, robust, and reliable data as an
initial step to monitor both short-term and long-term plantation program
can be collected effectively and inexpensively.},

Abstract = {Many organization theorists have predicted the emergence of the
networked or virtual firm as a model for the design of future
organizations. Researchers have also emphasized the importance of trust
as a necessary condition for ensuring the success of virtual
organizations. This paper examines the open source software (OSS)
`movement' as an example of a virtual organization and proposes a model
that runs contrary to the belief that trust is critical for virtual
organizations. Instead, I argue that various control mechanisms can
ensure the effective performance of autonomous agents who participate in
virtual organizations. Borrowing from the theory of the
`McDonaldization' of society, I argue that, given a set of practices to
ensure the control, efficiency, predictability and calculability of
processes and outcomes in virtual organizations, effective performance
may occur in the absence of trust. As support for my argument, I employ
content analysis to examine a set of published case studies of OSS
projects. My results show that, although that trust is rarely mentioned,
ensuring control is an important criterion for effective performance
within OSS projects. The case studies feature few references to other
dimensions of `McDonaldization' (efficiency, predictability and
calculability), however, and I conclude that the OSS movement relies on
many other forms of social control and self-control, which are often
unacknowledged in OSS projects. Through these implicit forms of control,
OSS projects are able to secure the cooperation of the autonomous agents
that participate in project teams. I conclude by extrapolating from
these case studies to other virtual organizations.},

At the same time, their development on open collaborative development

language dynamics at scale and in a context with massive real-world
impact. The present work takes a dynamical systems view of language to
understand the ways in which communicative context and community
membership shape the emergence and impact of language use-specifically,
sentiment and expressions of gratitude. We then present evidence that
these language dynamics shape newcomers' likelihood of returning,
although the specific impacts of different community responses are
crucially modulated by the context of the newcomer's first contact with

Abstract = {FOSS communities are increasingly employing a hybrid model where free,
open source software development is combined with commercial customer
support to ensure community sustainability. This makes it difficult for
peripheral users, who are not part of the core administrative or
sponsoring organization to participate meaningfully. The paper presents
a study of modes of Legitimate Peripheral Participation by users who
attempt to introduce product feature innovations to hybrid FOSS
communities. We identify eight modes of virtual peripheral participation
by users, exploring the technology and social/community affordances, and
the performativity and participation effects that these engender to move
peripheral users towards core membership.},

Abstract = {Currently, education has undergone great changes by going from
face-to-face to virtual, due to the pandemic, this has meant an
accelerated process and the evolution of pedagogy, which requires a
change in the traditional model of teaching to a modern one, using
technology as a tool that facilitates the teaching processes for
meaningful learning in students, especially in the teaching of
ecosys-tems in the subject of Natural Sciences. The research is part of
the Cayambe Educational Unit, with the students of the two parallels of
the tenth year of basic general edu-cation and teachers of the Natural
Sciences area, with the main objective of implementing a virtual
learning environ-ment (EVA) for the teaching of ecosystems in the area
of Natural Sciences in the tenth year students, through an environmental
interpretive path with free software, we wor-ked in coordination with
the campus authorities to carry out the investigative process. Among the
findings, it was evidenced that the traditional model continues to
prevail despite the fact that there is a national curriculum with a
constructivist approach and currently the stage of con-nectivity
requires a constant search for new strategies using ICT for teaching,
under this approach an educatio-nal resource was developed in Artsteps
to overcome and improve understanding of ecosystems in Ecuador.},

presents a large- scale survey (5,309 valid responses) in which users
and developers of the beta release of a popular file download
application were asked which learning styles were used to acquire
technical and social skills. We find that the extent to which a person
acquired the relevant skills through informal methods tends to be higher
if the person is a free/libre/open source code contributor, while being
a professional software developer does not have this effect.
Additionally, younger participants proved more likely to make use of
formal methods of learning. These insights will help individuals,
commercial companies, educational institutions, governments and open

Title = {A novel workflow utilizing open-source software tools in the
environmental fate studies: The example of imatinib biotransformation},
Journal = {SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {797},
Month = {NOV 25},
Abstract = {The aim of this study is to utilize novel and powerful workflows with
publicly available tools to efficiently process data and facilitate
rapid acquisition of knowledge on environmental fate studies. Taking
imatinib (IMA) as an example, we developed an efficient workflow to
describe IMA biodegradation with activated sludge (AS) from wastewater
treatment plants (WWTP). IMA is a cytostatic pharmaceutical; a selective
tyrosine kinase inhibitor used to treat chronic myeloid leukemia. Its
reported ecotoxic, endocrine and genotoxic effects imply high risk for
aquatic wildlife and human health, however its fate in the environment
is not yet well known. The study was conducted in a batch
biotransformation setup, at two AS concentration levels and in presence
and absence of carbon source. Degradation profiles and formation of IMA
transformation products (TPs) were investigated using
UHPLC-QqOrbitrap-MS/MS which showed that IMA is readily biodegradable.
TPs were determined using multivariate statistical analysis. Eight TPs
were determined and tentatively identified, six of them for first time.
Hydrolysis of amide bond, oxidation, demethylation, deamination,
acetylation and succinylation are proposed as major biodegradation
pathways. TP235, the product of amide bond hydrolysis, was detected and
quantified in actual wastewaters, at levels around 1 ng/L. This calls
for more studies on the environmental fate of IMA in order to properly
asses the environmental risk and hazard associated to IMA and its TPs.

Abstract = {The success of a Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) project has
been evaluated in the past through the number of commits made to its
configuration management system, number of developers and number of
users. Most studies, based on a popular FLOSS repository (SourceForge).
have concluded that the vast majority of projects are failures.
This Study's empirical results confirm and expand conclusions from an
earlier and more limited work. Not only do projects from different
repositories display different process and product characteristics, but
a more general pattern can be observed. Projects may be considered as
early inceptors in highly visible repositories, or as established
projects within desktop-wide projects, or finally as structured parts of
FLOSS distributions. These three possibilities ire formalized into a
framework of transitions between repositories.
The framework developed here provides a wider context in which results
from FLOSS repository mining can be more effectively presented.
Researchers can draw different conclusions based on the overall
characteristics studied about an Open Source software project's
potential for success, depending on the repository that they mine. These
results also provide guidance to OSS developers when choosing where to
host their project and how to distribute it to maximize its evolutionary
success. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.},

Volume = {6},

Abstract = {The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to map and monitor the
environment has increased sharply in the last few years. Many
individuals and organizations have purchased consumer-grade UAVs, and
commonly acquire aerial photographs to map land cover. The resulting
ultra-high-resolution (sub-decimeter-resolution) imagery has high
information content, but automating the extraction of this information
to create accurate, wall-to-wall land-cover maps is quite difficult. We
introduce image-processing workflows that are based on open-source
software and can be used to create land-cover maps from
ultra-high-resolution aerial imagery. We compared four machine-learning
workflows for classifying images. Two workflows were based on random
forest algorithms. Of these, one used a pixel-by-pixel approach
available in ilastik, and the other used image segments and was
implemented with R and the Orfeo ToolBox. The other two workflows used
fully connected neural networks and convolutional neural networks
implemented with Nenetic. We applied the four workflows to aerial
photographs acquired in the Great Basin (western USA) at flying heights
of 10 m, 45 m and 90 m above ground level. Our focal cover type was
cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), a non-native invasive grass that changes
regional fire dynamics. The most accurate workflow for classifying
ultra-high-resolution imagery depends on diverse factors that are
influenced by image resolution and land-cover characteristics, such as
contrast, landscape patterns and the spectral texture of the land-cover
types being classified. For our application, the ilastik workflow
yielded the highest overall accuracy (0.82-0.89) as assessed by
pixel-based accuracy.},

Title = {An open GNSS spoofing data repository: characterization and impact
analysis with FGI-GSRx open-source software-defined receiver},
Journal = {GPS SOLUTIONS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {28},
Number = {4},
Month = {OCT},
Abstract = {Spoofing is becoming a prevalent threat to the users of Global
Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). It is important to deepen our
understanding of spoofing attacks and develop resilient techniques to
effectively combat this threat. Detecting and mitigating these attacks
requires thorough testing, typically conducted in a laboratory
environment through the establishment of a spoofing test-bed. The
complexity, cost and resource demands of creating such a test-bed
underscore the necessity of utilizing openly available datasets. To
address this need, this paper introduces a new GNSS spoofing data
repository from Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (FGI) named
hereafter as `FGI-SpoofRepo'. This data repository consists of raw
In-phase and Quadrature (I/Q) data of live recordings of GPS L1 C/A,
Galileo E1, GPS L5, and Galileo E5a signals. These datasets encompass
three distinct types of spoofing characteristics (synchronous,
asynchronous, and meaconing), making them very useful example candidates
of open data for testing the performance of any anti-spoofing techniques
(be it detection or mitigation). The inclusion of live signals in
multiple GNSS frequencies and the presence of cryptographic signatures
in Galileo E1 signal make these datasets potential benchmarks for
assessing the resilience performance of multi-frequency
multi-constellation receivers. The analysis of the datasets is carried
out with an open-source MATLAB-based software-defined receiver,
FGI-GSRx. An updated version of FGI-GSRx, equipped with the necessary
modifications for processing and analyzing the new datasets, is released
alongside the datasets. Therefore, the GNSS research community can
utilize the open-source FGI-GSRx or any third-party SDR to process the
publicly available raw I/Q data for implementation, testing and
validation of any new anti-spoofing technique. The results show that
time-synchronous spoofing seamlessly takes over positioning solution,
while time-asynchronous spoofing acts as noise or in some cases,
completely prevent the receiver from providing a positioning solution.
Signal re-acquisition during an ongoing spoofing attack (cold start),
the receiver tends to lock onto the spoofing signal with the highest
peak, posing a potential threat to GNSS receivers without assisted
information. Overall, this research aims to advance the understanding of
complex spoofing attacks on GNSS signals, providing insight into
enhancing resilience in navigation systems.},

NETWORK EFFECTS IN OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITIES},
Journal = {MIS QUARTERLY},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {44},
Number = {4},
Pages = {1651-1678},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Previous research has predominantly taken a social network perspective
suggesting that building more network connections or becoming deeply
embedded in a network provides a better position to access network
knowledge in open source software communities. This perspective
implicitly assumes that accessed network knowledge automatically gets
absorbed and transferred to projects, so that building more and deeper
network connections is beneficial: Drawing from an absorptive capacity
perspective, this research challenges such conventional wisdom, arguing
instead that the benefits depend on a project's absorptive capacity.
Network connections provide access to external knowledge in the
community; the absorption and transfer of this new knowledge require
appropriate internal knowledge and developer roles. With longitudinal
data collected from 4,518 open source software development projects
hosted at Source-Forge, the authors show that knowledge breadth (depth)
helps with the absorption of external knowledge achieved from network
depth (breadth), but it inhibits the absorption of external knowledge
obtained from network breadth (depth). Further, developer roles (e.g.,
bridge members, role diversity) can mitigate the negative consequences
of suboptimal combinations and facilitate effective transfers of
absorbed external knowledge across and within projects. These findings
provide important theoretical and managerial implications for managing
network connections, knowledge, and developer roles in open source
software communities.},

Cloud Classification in Coastal Studies},
Journal = {REMOTE SENSING},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {16},
Number = {16},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {This study introduces a new software, cLASpy\_T, that helps design
models for the automatic 3D point cloud classification of coastal
environments. This software is based on machine learning algorithms from
the scikit-learn library and can classify point clouds derived from
LiDAR or photogrammetry. Input data can be imported via CSV or LAS
files, providing a 3D point cloud, enhanced with geometric features or
spectral information, such as colors from orthophotos or hyperspectral
data. cLASpy\_T lets the user run three supervised machine learning
algorithms from the scikit-learn API to build automatic classification
models: RandomForestClassifier, GradientBoostingClassifier and
MLPClassifier. This work presents the general method for classification
model design using cLASpy\_T and the software's complete workflow with
an example of photogrammetry point cloud classification. Four
photogrammetric models of a coastal dike were acquired on four different
dates, in 2021. The aim is to classify each point according to whether
it belongs to the `sand' class of the beach, the `rock' class of the
riprap, or the `block' class of the concrete blocks. This case study
highlights the importance of adjusting algorithm parameters, selecting
features, and the large number of tests necessary to design a
classification model that can be generalized and used in production.},

Abstract = {When trying to attain the benefits of open source software (OSS),
proprietary closed source software (PCSS) firms are struggling to adopt
this radically different practice of software development. We approach
these adoption challenges as a problem of gaining support for
organizational innovation. Through a mixed-method research design
consisting of qualitative interviews and a survey of employees of a
large telecommunications firm, we find that the organizational
innovation to commercially engage in OSS has different impacts on
technical and administrative dimensions of different job roles.
Accordingly, individuals enacting different job roles are-on
average-more or less well aligned with the OSS practice and OSS
processes per se. We find that individual-level attributes can
counterbalance the job role changes that weaken support for adopting
OSS, while perceived organizational commitment has no effect.
Suggestions for PCSS firms are presented and implications for innovation

Title = {Biophysical essentials - A full stack open-source software framework for
conserved and advanced analysis of patch-clamp recordings},
Journal = {COMPUTER METHODS AND PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICINE},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {255},
Month = {OCT},
Abstract = {Background and Objectives: Patch-Clamp recordings allow for in depth
electrophysiological characterization of single cells, their general
biophysical properties as well as characteristics of voltage- and
ligand-gated ionic currents. Different acquisition modes, such as
whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in the current or voltage clamp
configuration, capacitance measurements or single channel recordings
from cultured cells as well as acute brain slices are routinely
performed for these purposes. Nevertheless, multipurpose transparent and
adaptable software tools to perform reproducible state-of-the-art
analysis of multiple experiment types and to manage larger sets of
experimental data are currently unavailable. Methods: Biophysical
Essentials (BPE) was developed as an open-source full stack python
software for transparent and reproducible analysis of
electrophysiological recordings. For validation, BPE results were
compared with manually analyzed single-cell patch-clamp data acquired
from a human in vitro nociceptor-model and mouse dorsal root ganglia
neurons. Results: While initially designed to improve time consuming and
repetitive analysis steps, BPE was further optimized as a technical
software solution for entire workflow processing including data
acquisition, data preprocessing, normalization and visualization and of
single recordings up to stacked calculations and statistics of multiple
experiments. BPE can operate with different file formats from different
amplifier systems and producers. An in-process database logs all
analysis steps reproducible review and serves as a central storage point
for recordings. Statistical testing as well as advanced analysis
functions like Boltzmann-fitting and dimensional reduction methods
further support the researchers' needs in projects involving
electrophysiology techniques. Conclusions: BPE extends beyond available
patch-clamp specific, open source - and commercial analysis tools in
particular because of reproducible and sharable analysis workflows. BPE
enables full analysis from raw data acquisition to publication ready
result visualizations - all within one single program. Thereby, BPE
significantly enhances transparency in the analytical process of
patch-clamp data analysis. BPEs function scope is completely accessible
through an easy-to-use graphical user interface eliminating the need for
programing language proficiency as required by many community
patch-clamp analysis frameworks and algorithms.},

notebooks},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF NEUROPHYSIOLOGY},
Year = {2016},
Volume = {116},
Number = {2},
Pages = {252-262},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {Neurophysiology requires an extensive workflow of information analysis
routines, which often includes incompatible proprietary software,
introducing limitations based on financial costs, transfer of data
between platforms, and the ability to share. An ecosystem of free
open-source software exists to fill these gaps, including thousands of
analysis and plotting packages written in Python and R, which can be
implemented in a sharable and reproducible format, such as the Jupyter
electronic notebook. This tool chain can largely replace current
routines by importing data, producing analyses, and generating
publication-quality graphics. An electronic notebook like Jupyter allows
these analyses, along with documentation of procedures, to display
locally or remotely in an internet browser, which can be saved as an
HTML, PDF, or other file format for sharing with team members and the
scientific community. The present report illustrates these methods using
data from electrophysiological recordings of the musk shrew vagus-a
model system to investigate gut-brain communication, for example, in
cancer chemotherapy-induced emesis. We show methods for spike sorting
(including statistical validation), spike train analysis, and analysis
of compound action potentials in notebooks. Raw data and code are
available from notebooks in data supplements or from an executable
online version, which replicates all analyses without installing
software-an implementation of reproducible research. This demonstrates
the promise of combining disparate analyses into one platform, along
with the ease of sharing this work. In an age of diverse,
high-throughput computational workflows, this methodology can increase
efficiency, transparency, and the collaborative potential of
neurophysiological research.},

Abstract = {In recent years, many open source software (OSS) products have become
popular and widely used in the information technology (IT) business. To
successfully run IT business, it is important to properly understand the
OSS development status. Having a proper understanding of development
status is necessary to evaluate and predict the product quality.
However, the OSS development status is not easy to understand, because
it is often concurrently developed by many distributed contributors, and
its developmental structure is complicated. To aid the understanding of
the development status, there is an approach that models the trend of
source code change events (evolution) with a growth curve. Although an
application of growth curves seems to be a promising approach, there has
been a big issue that a single growth curve is often unsuitable for
modeling the whole evolution because of its complex evolutionary
behavior. This paper proposes a multistage model that divides the whole
development period into some stages, and applies a different growth
curve to a different stage. The empirical investigation in this paper
shows that the switching points of stages have meaningful associations
with the release dates.},

intelligence assistants deployed and integrated into learning management
systems},
Journal = {COMPUTER STANDARDS \& INTERFACES},
Year = {2025},
Volume = {92},
Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {This paper presents LAMB (Learning Assistant Manager and Builder), an
innovative open-source software framework designed to create AI-powered
Learning Assistants tailored for integration into learning management
systems. LAMB addresses critical gaps in existing educational AI
solutions by providing a framework specifically designed for the unique
requirements of the education sector. It introduces novel features,
including a modular architecture for seamless integration of AI
assistants into existing LMS platforms and an intuitive interface for
educators to create custom AI assistants without coding skills. Unlike
existing AI tools in education, LAMB provides a comprehensive framework
that addresses privacy concerns, ensures alignment with institutional
policies, and promotes using authoritative sources. LAMB leverages the
capabilities of large language models and associated generative
artificial intelligence technologies to create generative intelligent
learning assistants that enhance educational experiences by providing
personalized learning support based on clear directions and
authoritative fonts of information. Key features of LAMB include its
modular architecture, which supports prompt engineering,
retrieval-augmented generation, and the creation of extensive knowledge
bases from diverse educational content, including video sources. The
development and deployment of LAMB were iteratively refined using a
minimum viable product approach, exemplified by the learning assistant:
``Macroeconomics Study Coach,{''} which effectively integrated lecture
transcriptions and other course materials to support student inquiries.
Initial validations in various educational settings demonstrate the
potential that learning assistants created with LAMB have to enhance
teaching methodologies, increase student engagement, and provide
personalized learning experiences. The system's usability, scalability,
security, and interoperability with existing LMS platforms make it a
robust solution for integrating artificial intelligence into educational
environments. LAMB's open-source nature encourages collaboration and
innovation among educators, researchers, and developers, fostering a
community dedicated to advancing the role of artificial intelligence in
education. This paper outlines the system architecture, implementation
details, use cases, and the significant benefits and challenges
encountered, offering valuable insights for future developments in
artificial intelligence assistants for any sector.},

Abstract = {This paper examines the within-industry diversification of software
small and medium enterprises that collaborate with the open source
software community (OSS SMEs). In doing so, it offers new insights into
the association between open innovation and diversification. We rely on
arguments inspired by the literature and evidence collected through
interviews with OSS SMEs' top managers to investigate factors that favor
or hinder within-industry diversification. First, in line with the
mainstream diversification literature, we focus attention on the role of
firm size. Second, in the spirit of the open innovation research, we
concentrate on the mechanisms that OSS SMEs put in place to get access
to the external resources of the OSS community. Econometric evidence on
100 European OSS SMEs shows that firm size is negatively associated to
within-industry diversification, while OSS SMEs that have contributed to
a larger number of OSS projects have a more diversified portfolio of
software products. Furthermore, we provide preliminary evidence that the
practice of authorizing firm programmers to contribute autonomously to
OSS projects of their own choice during working hours may be positively
associated to within-industry diversification only if OSS SMEs possess
adequate internal technological resources. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All

Abstract = {Managing work practices has become one of the key challenges facing
virtual communities. This paper seeks to broaden the research on virtual
communities by applying the theory of competency rallying (TCR) in a
longitudinal manner to examine the impact of task identification, task
assignment, task execution and task management on user interest in open
source software (OSS) projects defined by popularity and communication.
The aim of this paper is: (I) re-conceptualizing the concept of user
interest and broadening our understanding of user interest by
incorporating users' post-usage behaviors, (2) examining the effect of
various tasks involved in an OSS project's key processes of
defect-fixing and feature-enhancement on user interest. The current
study found that project popularity is positively influenced by task
assignment, task execution and task management. Additionally, user
communication was found to be positively impacted by task identification
and task execution. The data collected from 1178 OSS projects in a
longitudinal manner (at 3 time points over a period of 16 months)
confirmed the expectations from TCR and also demonstrated that over time
the effects that development of competencies and managing short term
cooperative work have on project success might increase, while the
impact of identifying market needs and marshalling competencies may not
significantly change. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Spectra},

Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {In the early 2000s, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of
flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) emerged as a performant and
relevant tool for identifying micro-organisms. Since then, it has become
practically essential for identifying bacteria in microbiological
diagnostic laboratories. In the last decade, it was successfully applied
for arthropod identification, allowing researchers to distinguish
vectors from non-vectors of infectious diseases. However, identification
failures are not rare, hampering its wide use. Failure is generally
attributed either to the absence of respective counter species MS
spectra in the database or to the insufficient quality of query MS
spectra (i.e., lower intensity and diversity of MS peaks detected). To
avoid matching errors due to non-compliant spectra, the development of a
strategy for detecting and excluding outlier MS profiles became
compulsory. To this end, we created MSProfileR, an R package leading to
a bioinformatics tool through a simple installation, integrating a
control quality system of MS spectra and an analysis pipeline including
peak detection and MS spectra comparisons. MSProfileR can also add
metadata concerning the sample that the spectra are derived from.
MSProfileR has been developed in the R environment and offers a
user-friendly web interface using the R Shiny framework. It is available
on Microsoft Windows as a web browser application by simple navigation
using the link of the package on Github v.3.10.0. MSProfileR is
therefore accessible to non-computer specialists and is freely available
to the scientific community. We evaluated MSProfileR using two datasets
including exclusively MS spectra from arthropods. In addition to
coherent sample classification, outlier MS spectra were detected in each
dataset confirming the value of MSProfileR.},

Abstract = {Attracting new contributors is a necessary but not a sufficient
condition, to ensure the survival and long-term success of Free/Open

project - but also that perform citizenship behaviors that protect and
nurture its community. This study is a mixed: methods investigation of
the socialization factors that influence contributor performance in
large FOSS projects. A qualitative research component resulted into the
development of a FOSS socialization framework as well as into the
identification of key FOSS project citizenship behaviors. A conceptual
model was then developed and empirically examined with 367 contributors
from 12 large FOSS projects. The model hypothesizes the mediating effect
of two proximal socialization variables, social identification and
social integration, between FOSS newcomer socialization factors and
contributor performance (conceptualized as task performance and
community citizenship behaviors). The results demonstrate the influence
of social identification and social integration in predicting
contributor performance, as well as the importance of key socialization
factors that are: task segregation, task purposefulness, interaction
intensity, and supportiveness. Theoretical and practical implications
are discussed. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

Abstract = {Almost all software products today incorporate free/libre, and open
source software (FLOSS) components. Companies must govern their FLOSS
use to avoid potential risks to their intellectual property resulting
from the use of FLOSS components. A particular challenge is license
compliance. To manage the complexity of license compliance, companies
should use tools and well-defined processes to perform these tasks time
and cost efficiently. This paper investigates and presents common
industry requirements for FLOSS governance tools, followed by an
evaluation of the suggested requirements by matching them with the
features of existing tools.
We chose 10 industry leading companies through polar theoretical
sampling and interviewed their FLOSS governance experts to derive a
theory of industry needs and requirements for tooling. We then analyzed
the features of a governance tools sample and used this analysis to
evaluate two categories of our theory: FLOSS license scanning and FLOSS
in product bills of materials. The result is a list of FLOSS governance
requirements based on our qualitative study of the industry, evaluated
using the existing governance tool features. For higher practical
relevance, we cast our theory as a requirements specification for FLOSS
governance tools.},

developing countries a low-cost, quick and less risky way to build
health information systems as compared to in-house solutions, human
resource capacity challenges can limit their ability to leverage such

operation phases of the DHIS2 platform in Malawi, we observe open source
software platforms require a range of human resource capacities that go
beyond capacity to use the platform. To fully leverage open source
health information software platforms entails the availability of
platform usage capacity, platform deployment capacity, platform
customisation capacity and platform module development capacity. Most
capacity building initiatives for information systems in developing
countries have been short-term efforts focused on initial end user
capacity to use such systems. However, to cope with rapid innovations
and evolution associated with open source software platforms, capacity
building ought to be a continuous process encompassing a range of human
resource capacities not only use of the platform.},

Abstract = {LiDAR is an active remote sensing technique with a unique capability to
capture three-dimensional information of the earth's surface even in
heavily vegetated areas, and it is proven to be useful in many research
applications. Although it is becoming the remote sensing platform of
choice for planning and natural resource agencies that require
three-dimensional information, the enormous data that are generated and
the lack of available software analysis packages make LiDAR still
unavailable to a typical user of spatial data. LiDARHub is a free and
open source platform for web-based management, visualization and
analysis of LiDAR data that enables development of online tools for
LiDAR data processing in a web browser. The framework provides a
foundation to develop online tools for LiDAR data processing and tools
can be shared. The framework is also flexible so that the developed
tools can be easily ported to High Performance Computing (HPC)
environments that speed up the computationally extensive LiDAR data
processing. Two example LiDARHub tools are presented as case studies to
demonstrate potential software development scenarios. The developed
tools provide easy to use user interface and hide complex computation so
that users can take advantage of the LiDAR technology with only a web
browser. The LiDARHub allows not only the sharing of large volume of
LiDAR data but also developing online LiDAR processing platform for a
large audience.},

Abstract = {The emergence of open source software (OSS) has changed the philosophy
and practice of software development, implementation and ownership; a
phenomenon which also has influenced interpretations, actions and
behaviors of organizational members. This research explicates the
interpretations and subsequent actions of key stakeholder groups towards
OSS during the implementation of an OSS-based IS in a public sector
organization in Ethiopia. Drawing upon the technological frames
analytical framework, the study shows that the key stakeholder groups
interpreted openness of the software and the community model of software
implementation differently leading them to entertain divergent actions.
Users were keen to solving operational problems via readymade IS with a
third party support, while the management and technologists were
focusing on the strategic importance of OSS not only to their own
organization but also to the nation in general. Perception differences
led to alliance formation, political processes, and change of management
style. The study shows that as multiple interrelated elements shape the
technological frames of groups, the relationship between frame
incongruence and implementation is also complex and contextual. The
study proposes technological frame analysis as an integral part of OSS
implementation and a carefully crafted intervention to harness frame
incongruence, if any.},

Abstract = {Moving toward the open innovation (OI) model requires multifaceted
transformations within companies. It often involves giving away the
tools for product development or sharing future product directions with
open tools ecosystems. Moving from the traditional closed innovation
model toward an OI model for software development tools shows the
potential to increase software development competence and efficiency of
organizations. We report a case study in software-intensive company
developing embedded devices (e.g., smartphones) followed by a survey in
OSS communities such as Gerrit, Git, and Jenkins. The studied branch
focuses on developing Android phones. This paper presents contribution
strategies and triggers for openness. These strategies include avoid
forking OSS tools, empower developers to participate in the ecosystem,
steer ecosystems through contributions, create business through
differentiation, and create new ecosystems. The triggers of openness are
from 30 different companies with examples. Finally, openness requires a
cultural change aligned with strategies and business models.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) development has become an essential element
of IT strategy: many firms seek OSS as a strategic means of unlocking
the business value in external developer communities and internal
knowledge sources. However, integrating external and internal sources of
social capital is challenging and identifying appropriate integration
strategies is crucial for the success of such endeavors. This study
examines the simultaneous effects of external and internal sources of
social capital, in the form of participant and project differences, and
examines how they interact to influence OSS project success. We propose
a taxonomy of participant differences (language, role, and contribution)
and project differences (development environment and connectedness) and
postulate their main and moderating effects on project success. Using a
four-year panel data set of 329 SourceForge projects, we show that
development environment difference has a curvilinear relationship with
success and that connectedness reduces the positive impact of role and
contribution diversity on project success. We also show that when
development environment difference is moderate, the impact of role
diversity is the most positive. We present the implications of these
findings for theory and practice.},

Abstract = {Successful Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects
incorporate both habitual and infrequent, or episodic, contributors.
Using the concept of episodic volunteering (EV) from the general
volunteering literature, we derive a model consisting of five key
constructs that we hypothesize affect episodic volunteers' retention in
FLOSS communities. To evaluate the model we conducted a survey with over
100 FLOSS episodic volunteers. We observe that three of our model
constructs (social norms, satisfaction and community commitment) are all
positively associated with volunteers' intention to remain, while the
two other constructs (psychological sense of community and contributor
benefit motivations) are not. Furthermore, exploratory clustering on
unobserved heterogeneity suggests that there are four distinct
categories of volunteers: satisfied, classic, social and obligated.
Based on our findings, we offer suggestions for projects to incorporate
and manage episodic volunteers, so as to better leverage this type of
contributors and potentially improve projects' sustainability.},

Title = {Cui Bono: Do Open Source Software Incubator Policies and Procedures
Benefit the Projects or the Incubator?},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THE COMMONS},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {16},
Number = {1},
Pages = {64-77},
Abstract = {Open source software (OSS), a form of Digital or Knowledge Commons,
underlies much of the technology that we use in our daily lives. The
existence and continuation of OSS relies on the contribution of private
resources - personal time, volunteer energy, and effort of numerous
actors (e.g., software developers' time as a common-pool resource) - to
public goods, the benefits of which are enjoyed by everyone. Nonprofit
organizations such as the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) attempt to
aid this process by providing various collective services to OSS
projects, acting as a second-order actor in the production of the public
good. To this end, the ASF Incubator has created policies - essentially
rules or norms - that serve to protect its interests and, as they say,
increase the sustainability of the projects. Each policy requires
investment by ASF (in terms of money or the use of volunteer time) or an
incubating project (in terms of taking project personnel time), the
benefits of which can accrue to either party. Such policies may impose
additional costs on incubating projects, leading to a decreased
production of the OSS public good. Using the ASF Incubator policy
documents, we construct a dataset that records who - ASF or an
incubating project - bears the cost and who enjoys the benefit of each
policy and procedure. We can code most policy statements as costing one
party and benefiting one party. The distribution of costs and benefits
according to party indicates whether the second-order actor is
contributing to an increase in the public good and if they are doing so
sustainably. Through a two-way ANOVA, we characterize the impact of ASF
policies on the production of public goods (OSS). Being a part of ASF
imposes some costs on projects, but these costs may make projects more
sustainable. Our analysis shows that the distribution of costs and
benefits is fairly symmetric between the ASF and incubating projects.
Thus, the configuration of policies or the ``institutional design{''} of
the ASF could aid in producing the OSS public good by providing services
that projects require.},

Month = {DEC 11},
Abstract = {Development of artificial intelligence (AI) for medical imaging demands
curation and cleaning of large-scale clinical datasets comprising
hundreds of thousands of images. Some modalities, such as mammography,
contain highly standardized imaging. In contrast, breast ultrasound
imaging (BUS) can contain many irregularities not indicated by scan
metadata, such as enhanced scan modes, sonographer annotations, or
additional views. We present an open-source software solution for
automatically processing clinical BUS datasets. The algorithm performs
BUS scan filtering (flagging of invalid and non-B-mode scans), cleaning
(dual-view scan detection, scan area cropping, and caliper detection),
and knowledge extraction (BI-RADS Labeling and Measurement fields) from
sonographer annotations. Its modular design enables users to adapt it to
new settings. Experiments on an internal testing dataset of 430 clinical
BUS images achieve >95\% sensitivity and >98\% specificity in detecting
every type of text annotation, >98\% sensitivity and specificity in
detecting scans with blood flow highlighting, alternative scan modes, or
invalid scans. A case study on a completely external, public dataset of
BUS scans found that BUSClean identified text annotations and scans with
blood flow highlighting with 88.6\% and 90.9\% sensitivity and 98.3\%
and 99.9\% specificity, respectively. Adaptation of the lesion caliper
detection method to account for a type of caliper specific to the case
study demonstrates the intended use of BUSClean in new data
distributions and improved performance in lesion caliper detection from
43.3\% and 93.3\% out-of-the-box to 92.1\% and 92.3\% sensitivity and
specificity, respectively. Source code, example notebooks, and sample

Title = {Qiber3D-an open-source software package for the quantitative analysis of
networks from 3D image stacks},
Journal = {GIGASCIENCE},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {11},
Abstract = {Background Optical slice microscopy is commonly used to observe cellular
morphology in 3D tissue culture, e.g., the formation of cell-derived
networks. The morphometric quantification of these networks is essential
to study the cellular phenotype. Commonly, the quantitative measurements
are performed on 2D projections of the image stack, resulting in the
loss of information in the third dimension. Currently available 3D image
analysis tools rely on manual interactions with the software and are
therefore not feasible for large datasets.
Findings Here we present Qiber3D, an open-source image processing
toolkit. The software package includes the essential image analysis
procedures required for image processing, from the raw image to the
quantified data. Optional pre-processing steps can be switched on/off
depending on the input data to allow for analyzing networks from a
variety of sources. Two reconstruction algorithms are offered to meet
the requirements for a wide range of network types. Furthermore,
Qiber3D's rendering capabilities enable the user to inspect each step of
the image analysis process interactively to ensure the creation of an
optimal workflow for each application.
Conclusions Qiber3D is implemented as a Python package, and its source
code is freely available at https://github.com/theia-dev/Qiber3D. The
toolkit was designed using a building block principle to enable the
analysis of a variety of structures, such as vascular networks, neuronal
structures, or scaffolds from numerous input formats. While Qiber3D can
be used interactively in the Python console, it is aimed at unsupervised
automation to process large image datasets efficiently.},

Abstract = {We have developed an image-guided navigation system using
electromagnetically-tracked tools, with potential applications for
abdominal procedures such as biopsies, radiofrequency ablations, and
radioactive seed placements. We present the results of two phantom
studies using our navigation system in a clinical environment. In the
first study, a physician and medical resident performed a total of 18
targeting passes in the abdomen of an anthropomorphic phantom based
solely upon image guidance. The distance between the target and needle
tip location was measured based on confirmatory scans which gave an
average of 3.56 mm. In the second study, three foam nodules were placed
at different depths in a gelatin phantom. Ten targeting passes were
attempted in each of the three depths. Final distances between the
target and needle tip were measured which gave an average of 3.00 mm. In
addition to these targeting studies, we discuss our refinement to the
standard four-quadrant image-guided navigation user interface, based on

Abstract = {BackgroundComprehensive environmental risk characterization,
encompassing physical, chemical, social, ecological, and lifestyle
stressors, necessitates innovative approaches to handle the escalating
complexity. This is especially true when considering individual and
population-level diversity, where the myriad combinations of real-world
exposures magnify the combinatoric challenges. The GeoTox framework
offers a tractable solution by integrating geospatial exposure data from
source-to-outcome in a series of modular, interconnected
steps.ResultsHere, we introduce the GeoTox open-source R software
package for characterizing the risk of perturbing molecular targets
involved in adverse human health outcomes based on exposure to
spatially-referenced stressor mixtures. We demonstrate its usage in
building computational workflows that incorporate individual and
population-level diversity. Our results demonstrate the applicability of
GeoTox for individual and population-level risk assessment, highlighting
its capacity to capture the complex interplay of environmental stressors
on human health.ConclusionsThe GeoTox package represents a significant
advancement in environmental risk characterization, providing modular
software to facilitate the application and further development of the
GeoTox framework for quantifying the relationship between environmental
exposures and health outcomes. By integrating geospatial methods with
cutting-edge exposure and toxicological frameworks, GeoTox offers a
robust tool for assessing individual and population-level risks from
environmental stressors. GeoTox is freely available at

Abstract = {PurposeIn South Africa, public institutions face challenges in
transitioning their digital records to trusted digital repositories due
to a deficiency in skills, infrastructure and systems. Free and
open-source software (FOSS) presents a viable solution for facilitating
the transfer of digital archives for permanent preservation. Despite the
existence of FOSS policy in South Africa, the public sector has yet to
fully use it to engage in the development and implementation of products
for records management and archive preservation using open-source
software. This study aims to explore the ingestion of digital archives
into an approved long-term storage system through FOSS in South Africa
with the view of developing a framework.Design/methodology/approachThe
study adopted a qualitative research approach to collect data through
interviews with purposively selected participants (records managers,
archivists and IT officials) from national government departments that
have implemented records management systems for digital curation of
archives, as well as the National Archives and Records Services of South
Africa (NARSSA), which regulates archives and records management, and
the State Information Technology Agency, which regulates information
technology in government.FindingsThe findings of the study suggest that
the systematic transfer of digital materials from public entities to
NARSSA, as required by statute, has not taken place.Research
limitations/implicationsThe study specifically targeted national
government departments that have implemented digital archives and
records management systems. Consequently, perspectives from departments
that have not implemented these solutions were
excluded.Originality/valueA framework is proposed for the transfer of
digital archives, using interoperable FOSS, from government agencies
responsible for records management to NARSSA for archival preservation.
This framework, it is hoped, will facilitate infrastructure and skills
development in the management of records and preservation of archives
through open platforms.},

Abstract = {The use of electronics as an instrument in the monitoring of climatic
variables and the response of natural systems to these variables, has
contributed enormously to providing information in assessing natural
resources, as well as for natural disaster risk management. Therefore,
an electronic climate and river level recorder (RCNR) has been built
using Open Source Software and Hardware and Mobile Phone. Due to the use
of this technology, the RCNR is characterized by being modern, versatile
and low cost. The device monitors climatic variables such as air
temperature, precipitation and atmospheric pressure. It can be installed
in multiple environments such as rivers, streams and canals; where it is
possible to monitor such climatic variables, measure river levels or
program it as an Early Warning System (EWS), thus contributing to reduce
human and material losses in the face of natural disasters. This paper
presents the work done in the construction and test of the RCNR.},

Abstract = {Audio recording devices have changed significantly over the last 50
years, making large datasets of recordings of natural sounds, such as
birdsong, easier to obtain. This increase in digital recordings
necessitates an increase in high-throughput methods of analysis for
researchers. Specifically, there is a need in the community for
open-source methods that are tailored to recordings of varying qualities
and from multiple species collected in nature.
We developed Chipper, a Python-based software to semi-automate both the
segmentation of acoustic signals and the subsequent analysis of their
frequencies and durations. For avian recordings, we provide widgets to
best determine appropriate thresholds for noise and syllable similarity,
which aid in calculating note measurements and determining song syntax.
In addition, we generated a set of synthetic songs with various levels
of background noise to test Chipper's accuracy, repeatability and
reproducibility.
Chipper provides an effective way to quickly generate quantitative,
reproducible measures of birdsong. The cross-platform graphical user
interface allows the user to adjust parameters and visualize the
resulting spectrogram and signal segmentation, providing a simplified
method for analysing field recordings.
Chipper streamlines the processing of audio recordings with multiple
user-friendly tools and is optimized for multiple species and varying
recording qualities. Ultimately, Chipper supports the use of
citizen-science data and increases the feasibility of large-scale
multi-species birdsong studies.},

Title = {Agile Acceptance Test-Driven Development of Clinical Decision Support
Advisories: Feasibility of Using Open Source Software},
Journal = {JMIR MEDICAL INFORMATICS},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {6},

Abstract = {Background: Moving to electronic health records (EHRs) confers
substantial benefits but risks unintended consequences. Modern EHRs
consist of complex software code with extensive local configurability
options, which can introduce defects. Defects in clinical decision
support (CDS) tools are surprisingly common. Feasible approaches to
prevent and detect defects in EHR configuration, including CDS tools,
are needed. In complex software systems, use of test-driven development
and automated regression testing promotes reliability. Test-driven
development encourages modular, testable design and expanding regression
test coverage. Automated regression test suites improve software
quality, providing a ``safety net{''} for future software modifications.
Each automated acceptance test serves multiple purposes, as requirements
(prior to build), acceptance testing (on completion of build),
regression testing (once live), and ``living{''} design documentation.
Rapid-cycle development or ``agile{''} methods are being successfully
applied to CDS development. The agile practice of automated test-driven
development is not widely adopted, perhaps because most EHR software
code is vendor-developed. However, key CDS advisory configuration design
decisions and rules stored in the EHR may prove amenable to automated
testing as ``executable requirements.{''}
Objective: We aimed to establish feasibility of acceptance test-driven
development of clinical decision support advisories in a commonly used
EHR, using an open source automated acceptance testing framework
(FitNesse).
Methods: Acceptance tests were initially constructed as spreadsheet
tables to facilitate clinical review. Each table specified one aspect of
the CDS advisory's expected behavior. Table contents were then imported
into a test suite in FitNesse, which queried the EHR database to
automate testing. Tests and corresponding CDS configuration were
migrated together from the development environment to production, with
tests becoming part of the production regression test suite.
Results: We used test-driven development to construct a new CDS tool
advising Emergency Department nurses to perform a swallowing assessment
prior to administering oral medication to a patient with suspected
stroke. Test tables specified desired behavior for (1) applicable
clinical settings, (2) triggering action, (3) rule logic, (4) user
interface, and (5) system actions in response to user input. Automated
test suite results for the ``executable requirements{''} are shown prior
to building the CDS alert, during build, and after successful build.
Conclusions: Automated acceptance test-driven development and continuous
regression testing of CDS configuration in a commercial EHR proves
feasible with open source software. Automated test-driven development
offers one potential contribution to achieving high-reliability EHR
configuration. Vetting acceptance tests with clinicians elicits their
input on crucial configuration details early during initial CDS design
and iteratively during rapid-cycle optimization.},

Abstract = {VMStools is a package of open-source software, build using the freeware
environment R. specifically developed for the processing, analysis and
visualisation of landings (logbooks) and vessel location data (VMS) from
commercial fisheries. Analyses start with standardized data formats for
logbook (EFLALO) and VMS (TACSAT), enabling users to conduct a variety
of analyses using generic algorithms. Embedded functionality handles
erroneous data point detection and removal, m tier identification
through the use of clustering techniques, linking logbook and VMS data
together in order to distinguish fishing from other activities, provide
high-resolution maps of both fishing effort and -landings, interpolate
vessel tracks, calculate indicators of fishing impact as listed under
the Data Collection Framework at different spatio-temporal scales.
Finally data can be transformed into other existing formats, for example
to populate regional databases like FishFrame. This paper describes
workflow examples of these features while online material allows a head
start to perform these analyses. This software incorporates state-of-the
art VMS and logbook analysing methods standardizing the process towards
obtaining pan-European, or even worldwide indicators of fishing
distribution and impact as required for spatial planning. (c) 2011

Abstract = {Image correlation is one of the most efficient techniques to determine
horizontal ground displacements due to earthquakes, landslides, ice
flows or sand dune migrations. Analyzing these deformations allows a
better understanding of the causes and mechanisms of the events. By
using sub-pixel correlation on before- and after-event ortho-images
obtained from high resolution satellite images it is possible to compute
the displacement field with high planimetric resolution. In this paper,
we focus on measuring the ground displacements due to seismotectonic
events. The three sub-pixel correlators used are: COSI-Corr - developed
by Caltech, a free, closed-source correlator, dependent on commercial
software (ENVI) and widely used by the geoscience community for
measuring ground displacement; Medicis - developed by CNES, also a
closed-source correlator capable of measuring this type of deformation;
and MicMac - developed by IGN, the free open-source correlator we study
and tune for measuring fine ground displacements. We measured horizontal
ground deformation using these three correlators on SPOT images in three
study cases: the 2001 Kokoxili earthquake, the 2005 dyke intrusion in
the Afar depression and the 2008 Yutian earthquake. (C) 2014

smart computation time and memory management. Evaluating the
effectiveness of an IR signature reduction method implies simulating the
evolution of the IR signature with time. This requires a huge
computation time. In this paper, we propose a novel hierarchical meshing
strategy leading to an important reduction of the computation time. The
time complexity of the algorithm is shown to be O(root N), where N is
the requested number of facets of the mesh of the ship's surface. Then,
we validate OSMOSIS on temperature measurements performed on an

Title = {Numerical Simulations of the Flow Dynamics in a Tube with Inclined Fins
Using Open-Source Software},
Journal = {FLUIDS},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {7},
Number = {8},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {Finned tubes increase the convective heat transfer in heat exchangers,
reducing the total energy consumption of integrated industrial
processes. Due to its stability and robustness, Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) commercial software is generally utilized for analyzing
complex systems; however, its licensing is expensive. Nowadays,
open-source software is a viable substitute for proprietary software.
This work presents a CFD analysis of the hydrodynamics of a finned tube
using the OpenFOAM and SALOME Meca platforms. The results are compared
with experimental data and CFD using the commercial software Fluent,
both previously reported in the open literature. This work studies the
fluid flow pattern around a tube with six 45-degree-angled fins, and the
working fluid, air, is considered as an incompressible fluid. Special
attention is paid to calculating the pressure coefficient distribution
for the internal and external surfaces of the inclined fins. Open-source
platforms allow researchers to visualize how the airflow interacts with
the cylinder and the fin surfaces to form a fluid structure, formerly
known as a horseshoe vortex system. The findings of the analysis of flow
dynamics in the channel between inclined fins and in the wake help
explain the results obtained in experimental tests and are relevant for
the configuration of a bank of tubes with inclined fins.},

Title = {YADE-OPEN DEM: an open-source software using a discrete element method
to simulate granular material},
Journal = {ENGINEERING COMPUTATIONS},
Year = {2009},
Volume = {26},
Number = {7-8},
Pages = {786-805},
Abstract = {Purpose - YADE-OPEN DEM is an open-source software based on the discrete
element method, (DEM) which uses object oriented programming techniques.
The purpose of this paper is to describe the software architecture.
Design/methodology/approach - The DEM chosen uses position, orientation,
velocity and angular velocity as independent variables of simulated
particles which are subject to explicit leapfrog time-integration scheme
(Lagrangian method). The three-dimensional dynamics equations based on
the classical Newtonian approach for the second law of motion are used.
The track of forces and moments acting on each particle is kept at every
time step. Contact forces depend on the particle geometry overlap and
material properties. The normal, tangential and moment components of
interaction force are included.
Findings - An effort is undertaken to extract the underlying object
oriented abstractions in the DEM. These abstractions are implemented in
C++, conform to object oriented design principles and use design
patterns. Based on that, a software framework is developed in which the
abstractions provide the interface where the modelling methods can be
plugged-in.
Originality/value - The resulting YADE-OPEN DEM framework is designed in
a generic way which provides great flexibility when adding new
scientific simulation code. Some of the advantages are that numerous
simulation methods can be coupled within the same framework while
plug-ins can import data from other software. In addition, this promotes
code improvement through open-source development and allows feedback
from the community. However implementing such models requires that one
adheres to the framework design and the YADE framework is a new emerging
software. To download the software see http : //yade.wikia.com webpage.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) is a trendy innovation that is being used by
all organizations. However, the usage of OSS is still limited in higher

indicate that factors such as PEOU, compatibility, perceived risk,
security, and cost-effectiveness have a significant positive influence
on the adoption of OSS. The research findings provide valuable insights
for decision-makers in university settings who are grappling with the
intricate process of adopting OSS. These findings offer valuable
insights for higher education institutions in Iraq and other developing

Commercial Open-Source Software Company Success},
Journal = {IEEE ACCESS},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {10},
Pages = {46490-46503},
Abstract = {The recent surge in the number of commercial open-source software (COSS)
companies shows the growing importance of COSS companies in the software
industry. As knowledge-based firms, COSS companies' success depends
heavily on the interplay among intangible resources such as human
capital, relational capital, structural capital, and software quality.
To observe these relationships, we conducted a hypothesis-testing
questionnaire-type survey involving 200 software development experts and
professionals working at 60 multinational COSS companies. Accordingly,
the study unearthed two different but conjoint ways (i.e., direct and
indirect) in which intellectual capital impacts COSS company's success.
On the one hand, relational capital one of the intellectual capital
components directly affects COSS company's success. On the other hand,
relational and structural capital indirectly affect COSS company success
through human capital, which, in turn, is itself mediated by software
quality in a sequential mediation model. Therefore, COSS companies may
need to prioritize software quality as it is the most critical variable
impacting the success of COSS companies.},

allow mining the response data coming from multiple conditions. The
software comprises two modules: (1) the Model development module and (2)
the Screen/Predict module. This user-friendly software provides several
functionalities required for developing a robust multitasking or
multitarget classification-based QSAR model using linear discriminant
analysis or random forest techniques, with appropriate validation,
following the principles set by the Organisation for Economic

commits data from 263 Apache projects repositories (nearly all), we show
that although OSS development is often described as collaborative, but
it in fact predominantly relies on radically solitary input and
individual, non-collaborative contributions. We also show, in the first
published study of this magnitude, that the engagement of contributors
is based on a power-law distribution.},

values we achieved different graphic visualizations. To compare and
evaluate the suitability of different rendering techniques we chose
national park Risnjak located in Croatia because of its specific and
diverse terrain landforms. After comparing different input layers and
parameter sets, we selected the blending combination which is best
suited for visualizing terrain characteristics of all Croatian national
parks. The result is a shaded relief created for every national park

Abstract = {Day-night locomotor activities are the most readily observed outputs of

facilitate large-scale, parallel cataloging of circadian input-output
patterns, we created the LocoBox, an easy-to-construct and
easy-to-operate system that can control environmental light with
flexible entrainment scenarios combined with the T-cycle and measure
locomotor activities in individual home cages. The LocoBox is made using
economical, common components, and normal breeding cages can be used for
long-term recording. We provide details of the components and

society are still ever-expanding now.
We focus on OSS developed under open source project. In case of
considering the effect of the debugging process on an entire system in
the development of a method of reliability assessment for open source
project, it is necessary to grasp the deeply-intertwined factors, such
as programming path, size of each component, skill of fault reporters,
and so on. In order to consider the effect of each software component on
the reliability of an entire system under such open source software, we
propose a new approach to software reliability assessment by creating a
fusion of neural network and software reliability growth model based on
stochastic differential equations. Also, we analyze actual software
fault count data to show numerical examples of software reliability
assessment for the open source software.},

Abstract = {Empirical papers on Open Source software should try and formulate
reasons for successes as Linux, Apache and some other flagship projects.
What we need to understand about this topic is on the process of
producing software through cooperation of different efforts. Albeit many
success reasons for these projects are inherently due to the application
domain that the project develops, architectural and conceptual views of
the code have to be considered as key factors when considering community
efforts and joint decisions.
In this work we focus our attention on what is perceived of a source
code when investigating its structure. We do this considering that
structure as a proxy for the conceptual architecture of the application.
A metric is developed based on some current assumptions, and it is
tested over a sample of Open Source projects. What is interesting to
note, is that refactoring efforts are clearly visible when intended as
reduction of complexity of source code. Our second observation is that,
based on what an Open Source software currently does, i.e. its
application domain, there's a threshold value that several projects tend
to.},

Abstract = {Citizen science is an efficient tool for data collection for scientific
projects. In the framework of SIMILE Interreg Italy-Switzerland project,
the citizen's contribution to monitor the quality of lakes water has
been envisaged. In the initial phase of this research, state of art of
citizen science and water quality monitoring was investigated. The
analysis of past and current projects, governed by different
organizations and communities, pointed out a variety of tasks that can
be accomplished by citizens. In these studies, authors stressed
suitability of smartphones for the fulfilment of various assignments
given to citizens. Due to that, in this research, different smartphone
applications for water quality monitoring were tested and analyzed.
Despite the fact that many applications for water quality monitoring are
freely available, none of them is open source. Hence, this paper is
proposing the design of a new application, for the purposes of SIMILE
project, that will be free and open source, addressing not just users
but also developers giving them a possibility for customization and
improvement.},

Software for Internet of Things Systems},
Journal = {IEEE ACCESS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {12},
Pages = {179104-179118},
Abstract = {The prevalence and impact of code clones in software systems have been
widely studied in the past few decades. However, the focus has primarily
been on intra-project clones. Our work comprehensively investigates
cross-project code clones in open-source software for Internet of Things
(IoT) systems across multiple programming languages. This work addresses
the prevalence of cross-project code clones in IoT systems and their
impact on software maintainability. We collected 122 IoT system
repositories in nine languages from GitHub and grouped them according to
their primary functionality in IoT systems. We used MSCCD, a
multilingual code clone detector to detect Type-3 code clones for each
group. The results show that cross-project clones exist in more than
30\% of the projects, particularly in communication-related
functionalities. We tracked the historical evolution of these clones and
classified them according to the revision history and changing trend of
similarity. The results show that 95\% cross-project clones are
untouched. Moreover, clones with decreasing similarities were over 72\%.
Therefore, the same clone detector may no longer detect these clones. We
also investigated whether these cross-project code clones lead to defect
propagation by analyzing the commit message to determine the commits
that fixed a defect. We identified nine defect propagation instances, of
which seven remain unfixed. Our work contributes to understanding
cross-project code clones, highlighting the importance of automated
clone management tools for improving the quality and security of IoT
system software to mitigate the risks associated with unresolved defects
and inconsistencies in IoT software development.},

Abstract = {This paper develops tests and validates a model for the antecedents of
open source software (OSS) defects, using Data and Text Mining. The
public archives of OSS projects are used to access historical data on
over 5,000 active and mature OSS projects. Using domain knowledge and
exploratory analysis, a wide range of variables is identified from the
process, product, resource, and end-user characteristics of a project to
ensure that the model is robust and considers all aspects of the system.
Multiple Data Mining techniques are used to refine the model and data is
enriched by the use of Text Mining for knowledge discovery from
qualitative information. The study demonstrates the suitability of Data
Mining and Text Mining for model building. Results indicate that project
type, end-user activity, process quality, team size and project
popularity have a significant impact on the defect density of
operational OSS projects. Since many organizations, both for profit and
not for profit, are beginning to use Open Source Software as an economic
alternative to commercial software, these results can be used in the
process of deciding what software can be reasonably maintained by an
organization.},

Abstract = {Emerging as powerful open-source software in recent years,
``DualSPHysics{''} is receiving increased attention for its ability to
simulate large-scale flow fields. In the context of applying open-source
software, the differences in the numerical results due to different
model parameters need to be investigated in detail. In this study, some
benchmark problems have been solved with DualSPHysics to validate the
estimation of wave impact pressure with violent breaking waves. We have
demonstrated three main results: (i) as an alternative to the artificial
viscosity traditionally used in DualSPHysics, a laminar viscosity model
can also well reproduce the solutions to the existing benchmark problems
in a violent flow field with the modified dynamic boundary condition;
(ii) the dynamics of the gas phase is essential in the calculation of
wave breaking with rapid gate opening; and (iii) if the density
diffusion parameter is too large, the impact pressure may be
underestimated. The practical contribution by this study is to find that
DualSPHysics well reproduces complex breaking waves, including
multi-phase gas-liquid flows, and that the wave impact pressure is
accurate by comparison with existing experimental results. This allows
us to understand the complex behavior of fluid-structure interactions in
coastal engineering by means of DualSPHysics.},

Abstract = {Mapping and investigating land use land cover (LULC) changes over a
particular region is crucial for resource management, sustainability
development, and holistic planning. An increasing rate of urban growth
and urban sprawl could induce changes in land use as well as land
transformation. However, accurate and up-to-date information about LULC
is required for providing better understanding and assessing the
environmental consequences of such changes. In this study, the 2017
image from the Sentinel-2A Satellite was utilized to demonstrate the
land cover classification analysis in Iskandar Malaysia. Usually, land
use classification analysis is conducted through proprietary GIS
software. However, this decade shows the advancement in software
development, thus the emerging of free/open source software in the
geospatial world. Hence, to execute land cover analysis using the
Unsupervised Classification technique, the proprietary GIS software
(ArcGIS) and free/open source software (QGIS) were deployed. Then, the
examination of accuracy assessment was carried out for the selected
software. The sum of 250 random points was established for the
assessment purpose. The results showed the overall accuracy for ArcGIS
and QGIS were 82.80\% and 80.40\% respectively. The kappa coefficient
for ArcGIS was 0.7395, while kappa coefficient for QGIS was 0.7094.
Besides that, ArcGIS demonstrated better producer's accuracy in the
forest and agriculture land covers classification. Meanwhile, QGIS
exhibited better producer's accuracy in the built-up and water features
classification. To summarize, ArcGIS and QGIS software are reliable to
be used in the land cover classification.},

Abstract = {Contributions by individual open source software (OSS) community members
are the lifeblood of the OSS projects that power today's digital economy
and are important for the very survival of such communities. Individual
contributions by OSS community members to others' projects and their own
determine whether OSS communities are resilient in the face of major
shocks. Arguably, if crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic prompt users
to reduce their contributions to others' projects relative to the
contributions to their own projects, such behavior can have implications
for the overall resilience of the OSS community. Therefore, whether and
how individuals change their contributions in the face of a crisis is an
important question. We examine whether members in an OSS community
increased or decreased their contributions to others' projects relative
to their own in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, a sudden and
unexpected global health-related shock that has affected almost
everyone. We also compare and contrast this behavior when the OSS
community faced increasing unemployment, an economic cyclic shock that
is arguably and relatively more personal. Drawing on the concept of
prosocial behavior and conservation of resources (COR) theory, we
hypothesize that the pandemic increased OSS community members'
contributions to others' projects relative to their own; on the other
hand, the threat of rising unemployment decreased OSS community members'
contributions to others' projects relative to their own. Our empirical
analyses of a longitudinal dataset of over 18,000 OSS community members
on GitHub, with more than 1.4 million member-day observations, support
our hypotheses. This study contributes by uncovering the differential
effects of exogenous health-related and economic shocks on the
resilience of the OSS community. We conclude with a discussion of our
findings' implications for OSS community resilience.},

Title = {Open or closing doors? The influence of `digital sovereignty' in the
EU's Cybersecurity Strategy on cybersecurity of open-source software},
Journal = {COMPUTER LAW \& SECURITY REVIEW},
Year = {2025},
Volume = {56},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {`Digital sovereignty' is the geopolitical mantra of the moment. A key
agent of that policy shift, the European Union ('EU') has increasingly
embraced `digital sovereignty' as both the ideological foundation and
impetus for building its digital future in accordance with `European
values and principles,' often driven by and intersecting with
cybersecurity concerns as articulated in its 2020 Cybersecurity Strategy
for the Digital Decade ('Strategy'). Yet it is impossible to consider
cybersecurity without open-source software ('OSS'). Increasingly, the
EU, USA and other Governments have recognised that fact in the wake of
HeartBleed and Log4j incidents. OSS' decentralised governance and
ubiquity, underpinning most software worldwide, may amplify
vulnerabilities and adverse effects of cyberattacks, whilst its
typically collaborative model of development and innovation often
fosters valuable, open cybersecurity solutions. In navigating that
policy tightrope of OSS as a double-edged sword for cybersecurity, the
EU has adopted `closed' language of `digital sovereignty' that is
ostensibly contrary to the `open' nature of OSS. That rhetorical duality
is particularly pronounced since the EU described OSS as a tool for
realising its `digital sovereignty,' in addition to policy support for
`a global, open, interoperable cyberspace' alongside the pursuit of
`digital sovereignty.' While there is a epistemic gap in understanding
the relationship between the EU's rhetoric of `digital sovereignty' and
reality, nascent studies indicate that it has a tangible effect on
policy change in multiple digital spheres, generally furthering a degree
of `control.' However, that relationship within the OSS cybersecurity
context has underexplored and poorly understood, although that policy is
a priority for the EU and may bear significant implications for OSS
globally. Particularly analyzing the Cyber Resilience Act ('CRA') as key
means for implementing the EU's Strategy and its first cybersecurity
legislation that would comprehensively engage OSS if adopted by the
Council, this article argues that the EU's desire to strengthening
cybersecurity in OSS is generally welcome. Yet there is an ostensibly a
disjunct between `digital sovereignty' that underpins that legislation
and OSS cybersecurity, with too much control of OSS potentially proving
counterproductive for EU cybersecurity. This paper illustrates that (i)
it is imperative for the EU to address OSS cybersecurity; (ii) yet the
lens of digital sovereignty is ostensibly a rough fit for that approach,
considering OSS' philosophy and practice; and (iii) based on the CRA,
EU's practice of translating `digital sovereignty' into policy change is
mixed, leaving uncertain ramifications for OSS cybersecurity in the EU
and beyond. On the one hand, it moves towards more `control' at least in
determining definitional parameters and power dynamics with novel
`stewardship' positions for certain OSS entities. That said, the EU
generally seeks to leverage OSS to further their regional embrace of OSS
rather than to exclude others. Ultimately, the EU has a valuable
leadership opportunity to drive forward solutions to OSS cybersecurity
in collaboration with others whilst avoiding fragmentation, keeping
doors open in recognising that global challenges demand global
solutions. That is in its enlightened self-interest.},

Volume = {43},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) communities are dependent on the code
contributions of developers who, in many cases, never meet face-to-face
and collaborate primarily through technology-enabled means. With their
fluid membership, such communities often rely on engaging the commitment
of developers to their cause. Given the changing nature of OSS
communities, developers face barriers in appreciating appropriate ways
of contributing to the collaborative effort. Such uncertainty about how
to contribute results in OSS communities losing developers as they
devote their attention to other, more welcoming, communities. In this
research, we draw upon uncertainty reduction theory to argue that
developers have two alternative avenues at their disposal to gain
certainty about how to contribute: passive and interactive. Leveraging
the person-environment fit perspective, we argue that congruence and
incongruence in the OSS values of a developer and an OSS community serve
as an avenue for passive approaches to gaining certainty, to the degree
that appropriate ways of contributing are encoded in these values.
Further, leveraging social network theory, we argue that centrality
within a community's communication network constitutes an avenue for
interactive approaches for gaining certainty about how to contribute.
Using polynomial regression analysis, we analyze survey and archival
data from 410 developers in an OSS community. Results suggest that
developer centrality moderates the impact of congruence and incongruence
in OSS values on commitment. Moreover, commitment fully mediates the
impact of OSS value congruence and incongruence on developer
contribution activity. We discuss the implications of our findings for
research and practice.},

contribution an individual makes, as well as how tenacious they are.
These contributions may align with the needs of the developer, the
community, the organization funding the developer, or all of the above.
Understanding how corporate sponsorship affects the social dynamics and
evolution of Free/Open Source code and community is critical to
fostering healthy communities. We present a case study of corporations
contributing to the Linux Kernel. We find that corporate contributors
contribute more code, but are less likely to participate in non-coding
activities. This knowledge will help project leaders to better
understand the dynamics of sponsorship, and help to steer resources.},

Title = {Quantitative structure?property relationships for the calculation of the
soil adsorption coefficient using machine learning algorithms with
calculated chemical properties from open-source software},
Journal = {ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {196},
Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {The soil adsorption coefficient (Koc) is an environmental fate parameter
that is essential for environmental risk assessment. However, obtaining
Koc requires a significant amount of time and enormous expenditure.
Thus, it is necessary to efficiently estimate Koc in the early stages of
a chemical?s development. In this study, a quantitative
structure-property relationship (QSPR) model was developed using
calculated physicochemical properties and molecular descriptors with the
OPEn structure-activity/property Relationship App (OPERA) and Mordred
software using the largest available Koc dataset. Specifically, we
compared the accuracies of the model using the light gradient boosted
machine (LightGBM), a gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) algorithm,
with those of previous models. The experimental results suggested the
potential to develop a QSPR model that will produce highly accurate Koc
values using molecular descriptors and physicochemical properties.
Unlike previous studies, the use of a combination of LightGBM, OPERA and
Mordred enables the prediction of Koc for many chemicals with high
accuracy. In this study, OPERA was used to calculate the physicochemical
properties, and Mordred was used to calculate molecular descriptors. The
wide range of chemicals covered by OPERA and Mordred enables the
analysis of a diverse range of chemical compounds. We also report a
method to tune the LightBGM program. The use of fast-processing
software, such as LightGBM, enables parameter tuning of a method
required to obtain best performance. Our research represents one of the
few studies in the field of environmental chemistry to use LightGBM.
Using physicochemical properties as well as molecular descriptors, we
could develop highly accurate Koc prediction models when compared to
prior studies. In addition, our QSPR models may be useful for
preliminary environmental risk assessment without incurring significant
costs during the early chemical developmental stage.},

Abstract = {This paper presents the results of a research aiming to strengthen the
teaching-learning process in Pedagogy of Experimental Sciences in the
Technical University of Machala. In spite of the importance of the
application of technologies in the educational context, there are
theoretical and methodological inadequacies for the intentionally and
coherently use from the activities carried out since the different
subjects. Starting from the analysis and systematization of the
fundamentals of the teaching - learning process in the Pedagogy of
Experimental Sciences career and of the particularities of virtual
environments for educational purposes, this research proposed the
objective of building a 3D immersive environment, as Virtual resources
management platform, for the strengthening of the teaching - learning
process in Pedagogy of Experimental Sciences. For the creation of the
virtual world OpenSimulator was used as an open source 3D server
allowing the development of 3D virtual environments with customized
configurations. In the research, there were a population made up of
students and teachers of first, second and third level of the career.
During the process, methods of the theoretical and empirical level were
used it and permit the collection and interpretation of quantitative and
qualitative data. The evaluation made it possible to assess the quality
and effectiveness of the proposal, evidencing favorable results for both
teachers and students, since the process was developed in a flexible,
dynamic and playful environment, increased motivation in collaborative
work, reflected the possibility of interact when needed and learn at
each student pace, and also demonstrating the significant understanding
of knowledge and its application in practice, as well as the creativity
and adaptability of the insertion of technologies that are considered
difficult to use it.},

increasingly adopted among communities, particularly through non-profit

We assemble a scalable, semantic pipeline to discover and analyze the
governance behavior of projects from their mailing lists. We then
investigate the relationship of such behavior to what the formal
policies prescribe, through their own governance priorities and how
their members internalize them. Our findings indicate that a greater
amount of policy over a governed topic doesn't elicit more governed
activity on that topic, but does predict greater internalization by
community members. Moreover, alignment of community operations with
foundation governance, be it dedicating their governance focus or
adopting policy along topics seeing greater policy-making, has limited
association with project outcomes.},

Abstract = {The goal of a Network of Competence Centers is to provide to FLOSS
users, developers, and consumers, high-quality resources and expertise
on the various topics related to FLOSS. This may be achieved via
education, training, consulting, hosting, and certification not only in
terms of tools and platforms but also methodologies, studies, and best
practices. Based on the experience of QualiPSo Competence Centres, we
observe how such a Network is working as a mechanism for sharing success
stories, failures, questions, recommendations, best practices, and any
kind of information that could help the establishment of a solid
international collaborative environment for supporting quality in FLOSS.
New Competence Centres are invited to the QualiPSo Network after their
proposals are evaluated by the QualiPSo Competence Centres Board to
ensure that the prospective Competence Centre is compliant with the
QualiPSo Network Agreement, sharing a common vision and ethics. Each
Competence Centre acts in its geographical region to increase the
awareness of FLOSS and to better prepare the IT workforce for developing
and using FLOSS based solutions. As of 2009, the process for Competence
Centre creation is sustainable and reusable; guidelines for establishing
proposals and opening new Competence Centres have been created, and
promotion of Qualipso Competence Centres is done world wide from India
to USA thanks to key initiatives such as the Open World Forum and the
FLOSS Competence Centre Summit. This lecture will expose how these
Competence Centres relate to each other, which governance model is used
and, based on existing experiences, will describe how they currently
operate in Europe and Brazil and what is planned in Italy, Belgium,
Japan, and China for 2010.},

Title = {Comparative evaluation of open source software for mapping between
metabolite identifiers in metabolic network reconstructions: application
to Recon 2},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF CHEMINFORMATICS},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {6},
Month = {JAN 27},
Abstract = {Background: An important step in the reconstruction of a metabolic
network is annotation of metabolites. Metabolites are generally
annotated with various database or structure based identifiers.
Metabolite annotations in metabolic reconstructions may be incorrect or
incomplete and thus need to be updated prior to their use. Genome-scale
metabolic reconstructions generally include hundreds of metabolites.
Manually updating annotations is therefore highly laborious. This
prompted us to look for open-source software applications that could
facilitate automatic updating of annotations by mapping between
available metabolite identifiers. We identified three applications
developed for the metabolomics and chemical informatics communities as
potential solutions. The applications were MetMask, the Chemical
Translation System, and UniChem. The first implements a ``metabolite
masking{''} strategy for mapping between identifiers whereas the latter
two implement different versions of an InChI based strategy. Here we
evaluated the suitability of these applications for the task of mapping
between metabolite identifiers in genome-scale metabolic
reconstructions. We applied the best suited application to updating
identifiers in Recon 2, the latest reconstruction of human metabolism.
Results: All three applications enabled partially automatic updating of
metabolite identifiers, but significant manual effort was still required
to fully update identifiers. We were able to reduce this manual effort
by searching for new identifiers using multiple types of information
about metabolites. When multiple types of information were combined, the
Chemical Translation System enabled us to update over 3,500 metabolite
identifiers in Recon 2. All but approximately 200 identifiers were
updated automatically.
Conclusions: We found that an InChI based application such as the
Chemical Translation System was better suited to the task of mapping
between metabolite identifiers in genome-scale metabolic
reconstructions. We identified several features, however, that could be
added to such an application in order to tailor it to this task.},

integration},
Journal = {INFORMATION SYSTEMS JOURNAL},
Year = {2011},
Volume = {21},
Number = {2},
Pages = {195-219},
Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {Drawing on social capital theory, we develop a theoretical model aiming
to explore how open source software (OSS) project effectiveness (in
terms of team size, team effort and team's level of completion) is
affected by expertise integration. This in turn is influenced by three
types of social capital - relational capital, cognitive capital and
structural capital. In addition, this study also examines two moderating
effects - the impact of technical complexity on the relationship between
cognitive capital and expertise integration, and of task interdependence
on the relationship between expertise integration and task completion.
Through a field survey of 160 OSS members from five Taiwanese
communities, there is support for some of the proposed hypotheses. Both
reciprocity and centrality affect expertise integration as expected, but
the influence of commitment and cognitive capital (including expertise
and tenure) on expertise integration is not significant. Finally,
expertise integration affects both team size and team effort, which in
turn jointly influence task completion. This research contributes to
advancing theoretical understanding of the effectiveness of free OSS
development as well as providing OSS practitioners with insight into how
to leverage social capital for improving the performance of OSS
development.},

complementary to proprietary software companies and products. In this
paper we propone a business model for the software market, and in
particular we analyze the competition between proprietary software firms
and FLOSS firms. Our software market is a system where each agent is
independent of each other in the choice about buying or selling software
products or services. The proposed work aims to analyze the influence of
FLOSS firms producing both software and services in vertical software
markets, nowadays mostly dominated by large proprietary firms. The
findings show that FLOSS firms are able to compete with proprietary
firms, though in the end a monopoly or oligopoly of the latters emerges.
The ousted FLOSS firms, however, survive longer than proprietary ones,
when these are not able to compete in the market.},

approach using single- and dual-frequency observations},
Journal = {GPS SOLUTIONS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {28},
Number = {1},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {Variometric approach (VA) technique has been introduced as an
alternative to real-time kinematics and real-time precise point
positioning techniques. As the ability of the variometric approach to
detect short-term dynamic behaviors in real-time mode in applications
such as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)-seismology and
structural health monitoring is demonstrated, the demand for open-source
VA software is increasing. However, open-source software that is capable
of VA processing in real-time mode based on single- and dual-frequency
multi-GNSS observations is scarce. In view of this fact, we have
developed an open-source VA processing software called PPPH-VA that can
evaluate single- and dual-frequency multi-GNSS observations in real-time
mode. PPPH-VA is developed in the MATLAB environment, and it can
simultaneously process GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou-2, and BeiDou-3
data with the VA technique in real-time mode, employing both single- and
dual-frequency observations. We evaluated PPPH-VA using shake table
experiments based on real data, and the results demonstrate that it
provides high accuracy in terms of detection of dynamic displacements.
Toolbox can successfully detect the dominant frequencies of short-term
dynamic behaviors and is capable of determining the amplitude values
corresponding to the peak frequency at the sub-mm level. Moreover, in
the time domain, it can obtain dynamic behaviors with an accuracy of
millimeters.},

versions) for the second one. Empirical results provide evidence that
the considered Lehman's laws are supported by the collected data and the

research aims to understand and model the dynamics of OSS design that

objective is to develop tools to assist OSS developers to extract and
reconstruct design relevant information from previous discussions. We
show how quotation practices can be used to locate design relevant data
in discussion archives. OSS developers use quotation as a mechanism to
maintain the discursive context. To retrace thematic coherence in the
online discussions of a major OSS project, Python, we follow how
messages are linked through quotation practices. We compare our
quotation-based analysis with a more conventional, thread-based analysis
of the (reply-to) links between messages. The advantages of a
quotation-based analysis over a thread-based analysis are outlined. Our
approach provides a means to analyze argumentation and design rationales
and promises a novel means to discover design relevant information in
the archives of online discussions. Our analysis reveals also the links
between the social structure and elements in the discussion space and
how it shapes influence in the design process.},

diffusion of OSS, and we need more research to understand their
behaviors and motivations. We address this gap by drawing on the
sociological theory of community markers. The three community markers in
the context of OSS are loyalty, ideology, and identification. We also
draw on marketing literature to propose four contributory behaviors of
passive users of OSS that we theorize to be impacted by the community
markers: user brand-extension, word-of-mouth, endorsement, and community
involvement. We further classify passive users' contributory behaviors
according to the difficulty of their enactment and examine the
differential influence of the OSS community markers. Partial-least
squares (PLS) analyses of data obtained through a survey of passive
users of an OSS product provide support for the majority of the
hypotheses.},

Abstract = {An accurate fracture simulation is often associated with how reliably
the material model is represented. Hence, many models dealing with the
calibration of ductile damage of materials have already been developed
to predict failure initiation. Nevertheless, the challenge remains in
obtaining an accurate representation of the fracture growth. Herein, an
element deletion algorithm is developed and implemented into finite
element open-source software. The deleted elements are replaced by new
cells made of a virtual low-stiffness material. To better visualize the
failure progression, the final model excludes these virtual cells from
the representation. The functionality of the algorithm is tested through
a series of two-dimensional simulations on three different geometries
with a well-known behavior under uniaxial tension. Moreover, the failure
response of a three-dimensional lattice structure is numerically
investigated and compared against experimental data. The results of the
two-dimensional simulations showed the capability of the algorithm to
predict the onset of failure, crack nucleation, and fracture growth.
Similarly, the onset and the initial fracture region were accurately
captured in the three-dimensional case, with some convergence issues
that prevent the visualization of the fracture growth. Overall, the
results are encouraging, and the algorithm can be improved to introduce
other computational functionalities.},

Abstract = {The era of regional autonomy after the 1998 reformation prompted the
formation of a new formal administrative area in Indonesia as an effort
to encourage the national development. Pangandaran Regency, after
divided from Ciamis Regency, requires attention from higher education
stakeholders in the spatial field to manage its natural and
social-economic resources. Free and Open-Source Software-Geographic
Information System (FOSS-GIS) training is the appropriate solution
through the community service and empowerment program from university.
This study aims to determine the effect of FOSS-GIS training on spatial
habits, spatial knowledge, and spatial skills. The online training was
attended by 24 participants who are officials from the government of
Pangandaran Regency. To determine the effect, we used Wilcoxon's Test
and Paired Sample T-Test on spatial habits and spatial knowledge. We
analyzed the spatial skills of self-paced tasks and presentation of
results by the participants. This study shows a positive effect of
FOSS-GIS training which can be seen from the increase in scores between
pre-test and post-test. The spatial habits increased 5.4 percent,
whereas the spatial knowledge increased 6.1 percent. Participants were
also able to demonstrate all their spatial skills to make a tsunami
hazard map and present it. FOSS-GIS online training is effective for
improving spatial habits, spatial knowledge, and spatial skills for
participants in any background.},

Abstract = {To address the challenges of sustainable management and development of
the built environment, engineers and facility managers need to exploit
the 3D City models which grown in recent years to include interior
space. A crucial issue for facilitating interaction with these 3D city
models is the ability to integrate 3D BIM into the geospatial context.
This requires the use of specialized software and specific expertise. In
order to simplify this process, we here propose an information system
that facilitates the use of BIM for geo-analysis purposes. BIM4GeoA is a
concept for combining existing open source software and open
specification for efficient data management and analysis of Building
Information within its boarder context. The core components are the
spatial database PostgreSQL/PostGIS, the building information server,
the industrial foundation class (IFC), the Google Earth 3D viewer, and
the existing 3D OGC standard (KML, CityGML). This paper presents the
procedure used to enable the development of this new expert system as
applied to the context of 3D Web GIS. A thorough analysis of the
strength and weakness of these different components has been undertaken
to employ it is strength and override its weakness. The system
architecture is operationally used in developing different applications
for the management of a university campus; a large potential is provided
for operational tasks of facility management department, such as
utilities infrastructure, as well as public community (student, staff)
like routing application, searching for a person with defined criteria.},

Volume = {5},

Abstract = {Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have been used widely in zoology
and ecology, particularly in herpetology. The use of spatially explicit
analysis has increased during the last decade, with the consequent
expansion of GIS application in ecology. During the last years,
geo-information technology has been developed within the Free/Open
Source Software (FOSS) community, resulting in new open source formats
and several GIS packages. However, proprietary packages seem still to be
the first choice for herpetologists, thus involving non negligible costs
for GIS technology adoption. Additional costs arise from environmental
data, which are usually expensive, worsening in the case of large study
areas. An alternative solution is to use freely available data, despite
a possible decrease of resolution. In this review, we aim to show the
feasibility of spatial analysis within FOSS GIS packages, rank these
packages using the number of available tools and list several data
sources freely available on the Internet. We listed several websites
providing the most important free data for spatial analysis, i.e.
altitude and derived data; past, current and future climatic series
data; and satellite derived data. We provide also a list of the most
commonly used functions in GIS analysis and their availability in the
six software compared in this study (ArcGIS; gvSIG; ILWIS; Quantum GIS;
GRASS; and DIVA-GIS). The software gvSIG is the one with more functions
(106) followed by Quantum GIS with 94 and GRASS with 84.},

gatekeeping tactics project members perform against outsiders'
contributions. Based on several years of engaged research with FLOSS
projects, we characterize three gatekeeping tactics in FLOSS projects:
non-response, social exclusion, and false acceptance. They all have
hindered usability work. We also offer examples of usability specialists
and their contributions succeeding in avoiding these gatekeeping tactics
in FLOSS projects. This paper provides an important contribution to the
boundary management literature through detailed examination of
gatekeeping tactics in action, as well as to the Human Computer

Abstract = {This paper focuses on the uptake of open source software in small and

more efficient and competitive, but often experience challenges. Open
Source Software (OSS) is considered to yield key benefits for SMEs
because it is free to access, distribute and customise, peer-reviewed
for reliability. However, certain drawbacks can hinder SMEs from
adopting OSS such as uncertain support, need for technical skill for
usage, incomplete functionality to mention a few. The broadband
initiative in the Western Cape looked to enable the access of OSS online
through the provision of broadband internet for organisations including
SMEs. This research was aimed, through a qualitative analysis, mainly at
examining the attitude of SMEs toward OSS by analysing the benefits as
well as the drawbacks of using OSS. The research also analysed the
effect of the broadband initiative on the attitude of SMEs toward OSS
uptake. Additionally, the roles that intermediaries undertake in OSS
communities for promoting the uptake of OSS in SMEs, which were
investigated were decentralised school, bridging school, arterial
school, communities of practice and ecosystems school. These
intermediary roles were analysed to find out which role would be most
significant for facilitating OSS uptake.},

Abstract = {We describe the development of the Singing Ability Assessment (SAA)
open-source test environment. The SAA captures and scores different
aspects of human singing ability and melodic memory in the context of
item response theory. Taking perspectives from both melodic recall and
singing accuracy literature, we present results from two online
experiments (N = 247; N = 910). On-the-fly audio transcription is
produced via a probabilistic algorithm and scored via latent variable
approaches. Measures of the ability to sing long notes indicate a
three-dimensional principal components analysis solution representing
pitch accuracy, pitch volatility and changes in pitch stability
(proportion variance explained: 35\%; 33\%; 32\%). For melody singing, a
mixed-effects model uses features of melodic structure (e.g., tonality,
melody length) to predict overall sung melodic recall performance via a
composite score {[}R(2)c = .42; R(2)m = .16]. Additionally, two separate
mixed-effects models were constructed to explain performance in singing
back melodies in a rhythmic {[}R(2)c = .42; R(2)m = .13] and an
arhythmic {[}R(2)c = .38; R(2)m = .11] condition. Results showed that
the yielded SAA melodic scores are significantly associated with
previously described measures of singing accuracy, the long note singing
accuracy measures, demographic variables, and features of participants'
hardware setup. Consequently, we release five R packages which
facilitate deploying melodic stimuli online and in laboratory contexts,
constructing audio production tests, transcribing audio in the R
environment, and deploying the test elements and their supporting
models. These are published as open-source, easy to access, and flexible
to adapt.},

Abstract = {Over the last decades, the Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS)
phenomenon has been a topic of study and a source of real-life artifacts
for software engineering research. A FLOSS project usually has a
community around its project, organically producing informative
resources to describe how, when, and why a particular change occurred in
the source code or the development flow. Therefore, when studying this
kind of project, collecting and analyzing texts and artifacts can
promote a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon and the
variety of organizational settings. However, despite the importance of
examining Grey Literature (GL), such as technical reports, white papers,
magazines, and blog posts for studying FLOSS projects, the GL Review is
still an emerging technique in software engineering studies, lacking a
well-established investigative methodology. To mitigate this gap, we
present and discuss challenges and adaptations for the planning and
execution of GL reviews in the FLOSS scenario. We provide a set of
guidelines and lessons learned for further research, using, as an
example, a review we are conducting on the Linux kernel development
model.},

Title = {A methodology for assessing rooftop solar photovoltaic potential using
GIS open-source software and the EROI constraint},
Journal = {ENERGY AND BUILDINGS},
Year = {2025},
Volume = {331},
Month = {MAR 15},
Abstract = {Energy consumption and carbon emissions are concentrated in cities,
where 70 \% of the global population is projected to live by 2050. Urban
environments must therefore be at the heart of any global energy
transition. Furthermore, land availability is a limiting factor for
renewable deployment and rooftop PV thus offers a clear advantage. This
research is based on the rooftop photovoltaic potential (RPVP) of the
city of Vitoria-Gasteiz; its ultimate goal is to provide stakeholders
with a useful and free tool to calculate a highly accurate RPVP
(including different tilt and orientation angles, shadowing, temperature
effect, energy return on energy investment (EROI) constraint and
available surface area) and based exclusively on free-to-use and
open-source software. The EROI constraint is a fundamental step towards
the net energy analysis being integrated in the RPVP assessment. This
paper is a contribution not only to the application of the EROI
constraint, but also to the calculation of this indicator. Results
improve on estimates commonly found in the literature. With an EROI > 5
(8.83 on average), Vitoria-Gasteiz has a RPVP of 473 GWh/year, able to
supply 38 \% of the total electricity consumption of the city and where
50 \% of total rooftop area is suitable for PV. Therefore, the rooftop
PV performance in Vitoria-Gasteiz is sufficiently good to provide the
net energy required to sustain today's industrial societies.
Additionally, this article provides valuable information, such as
rooftop usability factors, and an overall reduction factor (CT), useful
to extend RPVP assessment to larger areas using constant value methods.},

Title = {A funfair without the candy floss: engaging communities to prevent
diabetes in Nepal},
Journal = {PUBLIC HEALTH},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {193},
Pages = {23-25},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {Objectives: The World Health Organization estimates that 422 million
people have diabetes, three-quarters of whom live in low- and
middle-income countries. Global action plans to address non-communicable
diseases (NCDs) recognise the centrality of community engagement to
create an enabling environment within which to address risk factors.
Study design: In this article, we describe and critically reflect on a
cocreated community engagement approach to address type 2 diabetes in
the southern plains of Nepal. We coproduced the engagement approach with
40 artists from the Janakpur Women's Development Centre to create an
environment for dialogue about diabetes and NCD risk between artists and
the general public.
Methods: We used participatory action research to produce contextually
relevant interactive methods and materials. Methods included artists'
peer research to inform creative workshops, a drama performed in 19
villages and a two-day funfair in a public park. We used qualitative and
participatory methods to analyse the effect of this engagement and
reflect on lessons learned.
Results: Around 2000 people saw the drama, and around 4000 people
attended the funfair. Community dialogue about prevention of diabetes
was facilitated by drama and through games and songs at the funfair.
Artists grew confident to interact with their peers and drama audiences
about the causes of diabetes and prevention strategies. Despite crowds
at the funfair, it was difficult to reach women because the venue was
often used by men and boys, and patriarchal norms prevent women from
free movement. Village interactions were able to engage a more mixed
audience.
Conclusion: Innovative, asset-based community engagement about diabetes
and other NCDs at scale is possible through locating, building on and
strengthening community resources to address local health issues.
Engagement could be enhanced by considering the gendered nature of
community engagement spaces and by increasing opportunities for
interaction between artists and the general public through more intimate
and large-scale events. (C) 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd

Abstract = {Glycans are responsible for many biological activities; however, their
structures are incredibly diverse and complex, often rendering the field
of glycomics unsolvable by a single analytical technique. The
development of multiple chemical derivatization strategies and
bioinformatic software is responsible for some of the greatest
analytical gains in the field of glycomics. The INLIGHT strategy is a
chemical derivatization technique using hydrazide chemistry to
derivatize the reducing end of N-linked glycans and incorporates either
a natural (NAT, C-12(6)) or a stable-isotope label (SIL, C-13(6)) to
carry out relative quantification. Here we present GlycoHunter, a
user-friendly software created in MATLAB that enables researchers to
accurately and efficiently process MS1 glycomics data where a NAT and
SIL pair is generated for relative quantification, including but not
limited to, INLIGHT. GlycoHunter accepts the commonly used data file
formats imzML and mzXML and effectively identifies all peak pairs
associated with NAT- and SIL-labeled N-linked glycans using MS1 data. It
also includes the ability to tailor the search parameters and export the
results for further analysis using Skyline or Excel.},

Title = {Understanding participation and corporatization in service of diversity
in free/libre and open source software development projects},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {217},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {Issues associated with a lack of diversity and inclusivity persist in
the domain of free/libre and open source software (FLOSS) development
and in software development generally. Researchers have suggested that
the corporatization of FLOSS affords opportunities for creating an
inclusive workforce. To understand the potential for firms to increase
diversity, we conducted a mixed-methods study of diversity and corporate
engagement in FLOSS projects. We integrate the results of a qualitative
survey and a big data analysis to understand developer perceptions of
corporate engagement and its association with gender and geographic
diversity. In the qualitative component, we collected responses from 64
FLOSS contributors to elicit their perspectives on corporate engagement.
In the quantitative component, we analyzed GitHub data from 38 projects
and 9,990 contributors to investigate differences in participation and
diversity based on corporate engagement. We find that contributors vary
across dimensions that can inform diversity interventions: stances
toward corporations and orientation towards individual/collective
benefits. Our results suggest that corporate engagement may limit a
project's contributor base and geographic diversity. Yet, organizations
subsidizing FLOSS have opportunities to increase access to projects
which would benefit diversity. This research serves to identify
individual and organizational factors which may harm and help diversity
initiatives.},

Title = {An operational land cover and land cover change toolbox: processing
open-source data with open-source software},
Journal = {ECOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS AND EVIDENCE},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {3},
Number = {3},
Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {Accurate and up-to-date land cover maps are vital for underpinning
evidence-based landscape management decision-making. However, the
technical skills required to extract tailored information about land
cover dynamics from these open-access geospatial data often limit their
use by those making landscape management decisions. Using Dartmoor
National Park as an example, we demonstrate an open-source toolkit which
uses open-source software (QGIS and RStudio) to process freely available
Sentinel-2 and public LiDAR data sets to produce fine scale (10 m(2)
grain size) land cover maps. The toolbox has been designed for use by
staff within the national park, for example, enabling land cover maps to
be updated as required in the future. An area of 945 km(2) was mapped
using a trained random forest classifier following a classification
scheme tailored to the needs of the national park. A 2019 land cover map
had an overall user's accuracy of 79\%, with 13 out of 17 land cover
classes achieving greater than 70\% accuracy. Spatially, accuracy was
related via logistical regression to blue band surface reflectance in
the spring and topographic slope derived from LiDAR (1 m resolution),
with greater accuracy in steeper terrain and areas exhibiting higher
blue reflectance. Between an earlier (2017-2019) and later (2019-2021)
time frame, 8\% of pixels changed, most of the change by area occurred
in the most common classes. However, the largest proportional increase
occurred in Upland Meadows, Lowland Meadows and Blanket Bog, all
habitats subject to restoration efforts. Identifying areas of change
enables future field work to be better targeted. We discuss the
application of this mapping to land management within the Dartmoor
national park and of the potential of tailored land cover and land cover
change mapping, via this toolbox, to evidence-based environmental
decision-making more widely.},

Proteins In Situ and Visualization of Proteomics Data},
Journal = {MOLECULAR \& CELLULAR PROTEOMICS},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {21},
Number = {6},
Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) has developed into a powerful tool
allowing label-free detection of numerous biomolecules in situ. In
contrast to shotgun proteomics, proteins/peptides can be detected
directly from biological tissues and correlated to its morphology
leading to a gain of crucial clinical information. However, direct
identification of the detected molecules is currently challenging for
MALDI-IMS, thereby compelling researchers to use complementary
techniques and resource intensive experimental setups. Despite these
strategies, sufficient information could not be extracted because of
lack of an optimum data combination strategy/software. Here, we
introduce a new open-source software ImShot that aims at identifying
peptides obtained in MALDI-IMS. This is achieved by combining
information from IMS and shotgun proteomics (LC-MS) measurements of
serial sections of the same tissue. The software takes advantage of a
two group comparison to determine the search space of IMS masses after
deisotoping the corresponding spectra. Ambiguity in annotations of IMS
peptides is eliminated by introduction of a novel scoring system that
identifies the most likely parent protein of a detected peptide in the
corresponding IMS dataset. Thanks to its modular structure, the software
can also handle LC-MS data separately and display interactive enrichment
plots and enriched Gene Ontology terms or cellular pathways. The
software has been built as a desktop application with a conveniently
designed graphic user interface to provide users with a seamless
experience in data analysis. ImShot can run on all the three major
desktop operating systems and is freely available under Massachusetts
Institute of Technology license.},

Abstract = {In this paper, we investigate group maintenance behavior in

maintenance behavior as interpersonal communication tactics
specifically, social presence and politeness tactics that help maintain

collected from two FLOSS projects with different development statuses,
and their content was analyzed to identify frequently used group
maintenance tactics. We then compared the group maintenance tactics used
in the two projects, finding differences that reflect changes in the
project work practices. Our work theoretically contributes to FLOSS
research and has practical implications for FLOSS practitioners. (C)

Abstract = {We present an open-source software package, HADOKEN (High-level
Algorithms to Design, Optimize, and Keep Electrons in Nanowires), for
predicting electron confinement/localization effects in nanowires with
various geometries, arbitrary number of concentric shell layers, doping
densities, and external boundary conditions. The HADOKEN code is written
in the MATLAB programming environment to aid in its readability and
general accessibility to both users and practitioners. We provide
several examples and outputs on a variety of different nanowire
geometries, boundary conditions, and doping densities to demonstrate the
capabilities of the HADOKEN software package. As such, the use of this
predictive and versatile tool by both experimentalists and theorists
could lead to further advances in both understanding and tailoring
electron confinement effects in these nanosystems.

Title = {AUREA: an open-source software system for accurate and user-friendly
identification of relative expression molecular signatures},
Journal = {BMC BIOINFORMATICS},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {14},
Month = {MAR 5},
Abstract = {Background: Public databases such as the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus
contain extensive and exponentially increasing amounts of
high-throughput data that can be applied to molecular phenotype
characterization. Collectively, these data can be analyzed for such
purposes as disease diagnosis or phenotype classification. One family of
algorithms that has proven useful for disease classification is based on
relative expression analysis and includes the Top-Scoring Pair (TSP),
k-Top-Scoring Pairs (k-TSP), Top-Scoring Triplet (TST) and Differential
Rank Conservation (DIRAC) algorithms. These relative expression analysis
algorithms hold significant advantages for identifying interpretable
molecular signatures for disease classification, and have been
implemented previously on a variety of computational platforms with
varying degrees of usability. To increase the user-base and maximize the
utility of these methods, we developed the program AUREA (Adaptive
Unified Relative Expression Analyzer)-a cross-platform tool that has a
consistent application programming interface (API), an easy-to-use
graphical user interface (GUI), fast running times and automated
parameter discovery.
Results: Herein, we describe AUREA, an efficient, cohesive, and
user-friendly open-source software system that comprises a suite of
methods for relative expression analysis. AUREA incorporates existing
methods, while extending their capabilities and bringing uniformity to
their interfaces. We demonstrate that combining these algorithms and
adaptively tuning parameters on the training sets makes these algorithms
more consistent in their performance and demonstrate the effectiveness
of our adaptive parameter tuner by comparing accuracy across diverse
datasets.
Conclusions: We have integrated several relative expression analysis
algorithms and provided a unified interface for their implementation
while making data acquisition, parameter fixing, data merging, and
results analysis `point- and -click' simple. The unified interface and
the adaptive parameter tuning of AUREA provide an effective framework in
which to investigate the massive amounts of publically available data by
both `in silico' and `bench' scientists. AUREA can be found at

collaborative OSS communities},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {25},
Number = {2},
Pages = {346-374},
Abstract = {Purpose - This paper aims to present that deliberate change is strongly
associated with formal structures and top-down influence. Hierarchical
configurations have been used to structure processes, overcome
resistance and get things done. But is deliberate change also possible
without formal structures and hierarchical influence?
Design/methodology/approach - This longitudinal, qualitative study
investigates an open-source software (OSS) community named TYPO3. This
case exhibits no formal hierarchical attributes. The study is based on
mailing lists, interviews and observations.
Findings - The study reveals that deliberate change is indeed achievable
in a non-hierarchical collaborative OSS community context. However, it
presupposes the presence and active involvement of informal change
agents. The paper identifies and specifies four key drivers for change
agents' influence.
Originality/value - The findings contribute to organisational analysis
by providing a deeper understanding of the importance of leadership in
making deliberate change possible in non-hierarchical settings. It
points to the importance of ``change-by-conviction{''}, essentially
based on voluntary behaviour. This can open the door to reducing the
negative side effects of deliberate change also for hierarchical
organisations.},

Title = {PsiNorm: A Fast, Efficient and Free Open-Source Software for
Interpreting, Reporting and Archiving Neuropsychological Test Results},
Journal = {TURK PSIKIYATRI DERGISI},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {33},
Number = {4},
Pages = {255-262},
Month = {WIN},
Abstract = {Objective: In many clinics, calculation and interpretation of
neuropsychological test results, along with reporting, data organization
and archiving of the data are done manually. In this era where most of
the similar processes are automated, manual application may result in
excessive time consumption, unnecessary use of qualified work-force, and
is also open to error. A software that automates these processes for
neuropsychological tests used for dementia assessment may overcome these
issues.
Methods: We aimed to develop a free, open source software not requiring
specialized training, which would optimise the calculation, preparation
of personal reports and archiving processes of neuropsychological tests,
hence would easily be incorporated in to the daily work of
psychologists. We've used Python 3.6 as the programming language, and
JSON was used as the data interchange format to allow for personal
alterations in the content. The tests were selected among those which
are in common use for neuropsychological evaluation of adults in Turkey,
with available norm values. (Funding: TUBITAK 214S048).
Results: PsiNorm was developed, comprising widely used standardized
tests for cognitive evaluation of adults in Turkey. The software is
lightweight, compatible with most common operating systems, and
easy-to-use. We've shown that Psinorm significantly reduced the time
required for calculation of percentiles and norms as well as for
producing a draft report. The reports are prepared in.txt format and the
databases are prepared in MS Excel ve CSV formats. PsiNorm is available
freely at psinorm.org.
Conclusion: PsiNorm is a free, open-source software which is available
for researchers and clinicians who perform neuropsychological tests.
PsiNorm provides significant time and labor-force benefits, is
easy-to-use and can be customized by the user.},

strategic importance, in recent years, public administrations have
defined plans for the promotion and strengthening of Information and

strategies have been recognized benefits and a wide social repercussion,
given that the open and collaborative paradigm of the OSS phenomenon
allows the use and diffusion of ICTs at all social levels. However, it
limits the exploitation of the benefits of adopting OSS in the public,
private industry and in the Ecuadorian society in general, due to
shortcomings in the identification, assessment and risk management, in
addition to good practices and adoption, the motive this project is to
make a systematic literature review of the OSS adoption, based on
Kitchenham and Charters methodological guide; this guide consists in a
technique based on empirical research, which requires following a
protocol to collect the literature on existing research, related to the
free software adoption by organizations, for obtaining relevant
references of success, failure, risk, benefits and barriers factors of
adoption, in order to determinate the current situation of the OSS use

Abstract = {This paper proposes novel quantitative methods to measure the effects of
social communications on individual working rhythms by analyzing the
communication and code committing records in tens of Open Source
Software (OSS) projects. Our methods are based on complex network and
time-series analysis. We define the notion of a working rhythm as the
average time spent on a commit task and we study the correlation between
working rhythm and communication frequency. We build communication
networks for code developers, and find that the developers with higher
social status, represented by the nodes with larger number of outgoing
or incoming links, always have faster working rhythms and thus
contribute more per unit time to the projects. We also study the
dependency between work (committing) and talk (communication)
activities, in particular the effect of their interleaving. We introduce
multi-activity time-series and quantitative measures based on activity
latencies to evaluate this dependency. Comparison of simulated
time-series with the real ones suggests that when work and talk
activities are in proximity they may accelerate each other in OSS
systems. These findings suggest that frequent communication before and
after committing activities is essential for effective software
development in distributed systems.},

this paper. Research was performed on ovariectomized rats as a model of
osteoporosis (with sham-operated control group). The animals were
treated with alendronate, hop extract or the combination of the two.
Whole histological slides were photographed and images were manually
pre-processed in Gimp. Color masks from Gimp were loaded in FIJI and
polar transformation and meas-urements were made using a custom macro.
This analysis was supplemented by manual assessment of Ki67
proliferation marker expression by a pathologist. Our results suggest
that monotherapy or combination therapy with alendronate and hop extract
does not cause proliferation of the endometrium in ovariectomized rats
and would be safe for use in osteoporosis treatment in this regard. The
semi-automated method used in this research is more precise and unbiased
than older manual methods. Furthermore, it can be easily adapted for
analysis of whole-slide images of almost any round or oval organ.},

Abstract = {Background. The quantification of tumor heterogeneity with molecular
images, by analyzing the local or global variation in the spatial
arrangements of pixel intensity with texture analysis, possesses a great
clinical potential for treatment planning and prognosis. To address the
lack of available software for computing the tumor heterogeneity on the
public domain, we develop a software package, namely, Chang-Gung Image
Texture Analysis (CGITA) toolbox, and provide it to the research
community as a free, open-source project. Methods. With a user-friendly
graphical interface, CGITA provides users with an easy way to compute
more than seventy heterogeneity indices. To test and demonstrate the
usefulness of CGITA, we used a small cohort of eighteen locally advanced
oral cavity (ORC) cancer patients treated with definitive
radiotherapies. Results. In our case study of ORC data, we found that
more than ten of the current implemented heterogeneity indices
outperformed SUVmean for outcome prediction in the ROC analysis with a
higher area under curve (AUC). Heterogeneity indices provide a better
area under the curve up to 0.9 than the SUVmean and TLG (0.6 and 0.52,
resp.). Conclusions. CGITA is a free and open-source software package to
quantify tumor heterogeneity from molecular images. CGITA is available

Title = {Relevance of the Cell Neighborhood Size in Landscape Metrics Evaluation
and Free or Open Source Software Implementations},

Abstract = {Landscape metrics constitute one of the main tools for the study of the
changes of the landscape and of the ecological structure of a region.
The most popular software for landscape metrics evaluation is FRAGSTATS,
which is free to use but does not have free or open source software
(FOSS). Therefore, FOSS implementations, such as QGIS's LecoS plugin and
GRASS' r.li modules suite, were developed. While metrics are defined in
the same way, the ``cell neighborhood{''} parameter, specifying the
configuration of the moving window used for the analysis, is managed
differently: FRAGSTATS can use values of 4 or 8 (8 is default), LecoS
uses 8 and r.li 4. Tests were performed to evaluate the landscape
metrics variability depending on the ``cell neighborhood{''} values:
some metrics, such as ``edge density{''} and ``landscape shape
index{''}, do not change, other, for example ``patch number{''}, ``patch
density{''}, and ``mean patch area{''}, vary up to 100\% for real maps
and 500\% for maps built to highlight this variation. A review of the
scientific literature was carried out to check how often the value of
the ``cell neighborhood{''} parameter is explicitly declared. A method
based on the ``aggregation index{''} is proposed to estimate the effect
of the uncertainty on the ``cell neighborhood{''} parameter on landscape
metrics for different maps.},

Pages = {309-323},
Abstract = {This article examines distributed participatory design in open source
software (OSS) development. User participation is becoming a relevant
topic of research in the OSS development context. Though it has not been
examined much to date, the OSS development context has been argued to
advocate a particular type of participatory design, which can now be
scrutinised in its natural setting as it evolves. Two interpretive case
studies on user participation in OSS development are included in this
article. The first examines a traditional community OSS development
project; the second concentrates on the company OSS development context,
the case being a software development unit of a global corporation
involved in OSS development. Through analysis of the cases, different
forms of participatory design (PD), especially of distributed PD, are
identified. Distributed PD is interpreted to include gaining an
understanding of users' current practices, redesigning them together
with users and gathering feedback from users related to the solutions.
Different kinds of roles are available to users, as well as to for
intermediaries `representing users'. Especially, the importance of
online forum-based and intermediary-driven PD is emphasised in this
article. Implications for PD and OSS research and practice are
considered.},

Abstract = {Corporations are currently making progress in their efforts toward
traceability, against the backdrop of practical realization of automatic

consistently manage and access various types of product-related history
information throughout the supply chain, it is necessary to develop
information networks and databases for sharing that information between
firms, and EDI systems play a central role in that context. This paper
proposes a distributed traceability system based on open source software
which is particularly suitable for small and medium enterprises. To do
this, the paper first conducts an exploratory analysis of factors
involved in the adoption of traceability systems by small and medium
enterprises, based on a review of previous research on traceability and
questionnaire survey data. Next, it examines the current situation and
problems of RF tags, 2D barcodes and EDI systems, and their linkage with
in-house backend systems. Based on the above analysis, the paper
proposes a model of a traceability system using open source software
which is suitable for small and medium enterprises, and discusses the
model's practical implications.},

Title = {Modeling and Simulation of Distribution Networks with High Renewable
Penetration in Open-Source Software: QGIS and OpenDSS},
Journal = {ENERGIES},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {17},
Number = {12},
Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {There are important challenges in modeling large electrical distribution
circuits, especially with the presence of distributed renewable
generation. Constructing simulations to assess the effect of the
penetration of distributed generation on electrical distribution
networks has become of great importance for Distribution Network
Operators (DNOs). This paper proposes a simulation strategy based on
open-source platforms and the integration of scripting tools for the
rapid modeling of large-scale electrical distribution circuits with
distributed renewable generation. The implementation is based on the
adaptation of a tool called QGIS2OpenDSS, which creates OpenDSS
distribution network models directly from an open-source geographic
information system, QGIS. The plugin's capabilities are demonstrated
using a real distribution feeder with more than 60\% penetration of
renewable generation based on photovoltaic systems. These simulations
are carried out using real data from a circuit provided by a DNO in the
Dominican Republic, which is used to demonstrate how this approach
provides a more accessible and flexible way to simulate and assess the
effect of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) in medium voltage (MV) and
low voltage (LV) networks, enabling utilities to evaluate system
performance and identify potential issues. The integration of this
open-source tool within the DNO software stack enables users to apply it
according to specific project needs, enhancing their capability to
analyze and manage high DER penetration levels, aiding in better
planning, operation, and decision-making processes related to renewable
energy projects.},

Title = {Decon2LS: An open-source software package for automated processing and
visualization of high resolution mass spectrometry data},
Journal = {BMC BIOINFORMATICS},
Year = {2009},
Volume = {10},
Month = {MAR 17},
Abstract = {Background: Data generated from liquid chromatography coupled to
high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-MS)based studies of a biological
sample can contain large amounts of biologically significant information
in the form of proteins, peptides, and metabolites. Interpreting this
data involves inferring the masses and abundances of biomolecules
injected into the instrument. Because of the inherent complexity of mass
spectral patterns produced by these biomolecules, the analysis is
significantly enhanced by using visualization capabilities to inspect
and confirm results. In this paper we describe Decon2LS, an open-source
software package for automated processing and visualization of
high-resolution MS data. Drawing extensively on algorithms developed
over the last ten years for ICR2LS, Decon2LS packages the algorithms as
a rich set of modular, reusable processing classes for performing
diverse functions such as reading raw data, routine peak finding,
theoretical isotope distribution modelling, and deisotoping. Because the
source code is openly available, these functionalities can now be used
to build derivative applications in relatively fast manner. In addition,
Decon2LS provides an extensive set of visualization tools, such as high
performance chart controls.
Results: With a variety of options that include peak processing,
deisotoping, isotope composition, etc, Decon2LS supports processing of
multiple raw data formats. Deisotoping can be performed on an individual
scan, an individual dataset, or on multiple datasets using batch
processing. Other processing options include creating a two dimensional
view of mass and liquid chromatography (LC) elution time features,
generating spectrum files for tandem MS data, creating total intensity
chromatograms, and visualizing theoretical peptide profiles. Application
of Decon2LS to deisotope different datasets obtained across different
instruments yielded a high number of features that can be used to
identify and quantify peptides in the biological sample.
Conclusion: Decon2LS is an efficient software package for discovering
and visualizing features in proteomics studies that require automated
interpretation of mass spectra. Besides being easy to use, fast, and
reliable, Decon2LS is also open-source, which allows developers in the
proteomics and bioinformatics communities to reuse and refine the
algorithms to meet individual needs.

Abstract = {Organizations today face IT security challenges on many fronts. These
include controlling user access to systems, resources, and data security
issues that encompass secure storage, secure transmission, data
authenticity and data integrity. These requirements are met by
establishing the right policies, controls, and mechanisms that are put
in place to effectively protect sensitive data. Therefore, this research
aims to see if open source software has the potential to influence the
cybersecurity market that is currently dominated by proprietary
software. However, in order to accomplish such a task, certain
conditions must be met. Such as understanding of the history behind open
source software, the positive and negative influences it carries when
dealing with this type of software. As well as compare and contrast
current proprietary solutions with open source solutions, in order to
grasp the potential economic impact of open source software leading
onwards into the future. The ideal findings would be to outline the
factors that are holding back open source software, and whether these
factors are adjustable or correctable over time. Another aim is to
highlight the potential financial benefit that comes from switching to
or prioritizing OSS security solutions. As well as come up with any
recommendations that would help aid businesses and organizations when it
comes to obtaining suitable OSS security solutions.},

Abstract = {This paper presents COBRAPRO, a new open-source Doyle-Fuller-Newman
(DFN) model software package with an integrated closed-loop parameter
optimization routine. A key challenge in DFN model parameterization is
that parameters measured from cell tear-down experiments cannot be
directly used in simulations, and parameter identification is required
to accurately reflect real-world battery dynamics However, existing
open-source DFN codes lack the capability to perform parameter
identification and operate in open-loop mode. COBRAPRO addresses this
gap by implementing a systematic parameterization pipeline to accurately
determine parameters using battery current and voltage data. Concepts
from structural and practical identifiability are utilized to determine
parameters that can be fixed to their experimental values and parameters
that are suitable for optimization. In the parameter identification
process, particle swarm optimization is used to minimize the error
between experimental data and simulation results. Additionally, COBRAPRO
incorporates a robust method to determine consistent initial conditions
and utilizes a fast numerical solver for improved performance. We
demonstrate COBRAPRO's parameter identification framework on reference
performance test data obtained from LG INR21700-M50T cells. The
parameterized model is validated against driving cycle data, showing
good agreement between the experimental and simulation results.},

Abstract = {Social collaborative coding is a popular trend in software development,
and such platforms as GitHub provide rich social and technical
functionalities for developers to collaborate on open source projects
through multiple interactions. Developers often follow popular
developers and projects for learning, technical selection, and
collaboration. Thus, identifying popular developers and projects is very
meaningful. In this paper, we propose a multiplex bipartite network
ranking model, M-BiRank, to co-rank developers and projects using
multiple developer-project interactions. Firstly, multiple
developer-project interactions such as commit, issue, and watch are
extracted and a multiplex developer-project bipartite network is
constructed. Secondly, a random layer is selected from this multiplex
bipartite network and initial ranking scores are calculated for
developers and projects using BiRank. Finally, initial ranking scores
diffuse to other layers and mutual reinforcement is taken into
consideration to iteratively calculate ranking scores of developers and
projects in different layers. Experiments on real-world GitHub dataset
show that M-BiRank outperforms degree centrality, traditional single
layer ranking methods, and multiplex ranking method.},

Abstract = {Free and open source software (FOSS) is considered by many, along with
Wikipedia, the proof of an ongoing paradigm shift from
hierarchically-managed and market-driven production of knowledge to
heterarchical, collaborative and commons-based production styles. In
such perspective, it has become common place to refer to FOSS as a
manifestation of collective intelligence where deliverables and
artefacts emerge by virtue of mere cooperation, with no need for
supervising leadership. We show that this assumption is based on limited
understanding of the software development process, and may lead to wrong
conclusions as to the potential of peer production. The development of a
less than trivial piece of software, irrespective of whether it be FOSS
or proprietary, is a complex cooperative effort requiring the
participation of many (often thousands of) individuals. A subset of the
participants always play the role of leading system and subsystem
designers, determining architecture and functionality; the rest of the
people work ``underneath{''} them in a logical, functional sense. While
new and powerful forces, including FOSS, are clearly at work in the
post-industrial, networked economy, the currently ingenuous stage of
research in the field of collective intelligence and networked
cooperation must give way to a deeper level of consciousness, which
requires an understanding of the software development process.},

workflow models are seen as unified models. In the commercial world,
workflow models are often referred to as an abstraction of the business
process models concentrating on steps that can be automated. This work
further supports the view at our research institution that OSS tools can
already be used effectively in the class room in conjunction or even as

Abstract = {BackgroundObject detection, size determination, and colour detection of
images are tools commonly used in plant science. Key examples of this
include identification of ripening stages of fruit such as tomatoes and
the determination of chlorophyll content as an indicator of plant
health. While methods exist for determining these important phenotypes,
they often require proprietary software or require coding knowledge to
adapt existing code.ResultsWe provide a set of free and open-source
Python scripts that, without any adaptation, are able to perform
background correction and colour correction on images using a
ColourChecker chart. Further scripts identify objects, use an object of
known size to calibrate for size, and extract the average colour of
objects in RGB, Lab, and YUV colour spaces. We use two examples to
demonstrate the use of these scripts. We show the consistency of these
scripts by imaging in four different lighting conditions, and then we
use two examples to show how the scripts can be used. In the first
example, we estimate the lycopene content in tomatoes (Solanum
lycopersicum) var. Tiny Tim using fruit images and an exponential model
to predict lycopene content. We demonstrate that three different cameras
(a DSLR camera and two separate mobile phones) are all able to model
lycopene content. The models that predict lycopene or chlorophyll need
to be adjusted depending on the camera used. In the second example, we
estimate the chlorophyll content of basil (Ocimum basilicum) using leaf
images and an exponential model to predict chlorophyll
content.ConclusionA fast, cheap, non-destructive, and inexpensive method
is provided for the determination of the size and colour of plant
materials using a rig consisting of a lightbox, camera, and colour
checker card and using free and open-source scripts that run in Python
3.8. This method accurately predicted the lycopene content in tomato
fruit and the chlorophyll content in basil leaves.},

Title = {NIC-CAGE: An open-source software package for predicting optimal control
fields in photo-excited chemical systems},
Journal = {COMPUTER PHYSICS COMMUNICATIONS},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {258},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {We present an open-source software package, NIC-CAGE (Novel
Implementation of Constrained Calculations for Automated Generation of
Excitations), for predicting quantum optimal control fields in
photo-excited chemical systems. Our approach utilizes newly derived
analytic gradients for maximizing the transition probability (based on a
norm-conserving Crank-Nicolson propagation scheme) for driving a system
from a known initial quantum state to another desired state. The
NIC-CAGE code is written in the MATLAB and Python programming
environments to aid in its readability and general accessibility to both
users and practitioners. Throughout this work, we provide several
examples and outputs on a variety of different potentials, propagation
times, and user-defined parameters to demonstrate the robustness of the
NIC-CAGE software package. As such, the use of this predictive tool by
both experimentalists and theorists could lead to further advances in
both understanding and controlling the dynamics of photo-excited
systems.

Abstract = {Continuous Integration (CI) has become a common practice in both
industrial and open-source software development. While CI has evidently
improved aspects of the software development process, errors during CI
builds pose a threat to development efficiency. As an increasing amount
of time goes into fixing such errors, failing builds can significantly
impair the development process and become very costly. We perform an
in-depth analysis of build failures in CI environments. Our approach
links repository commits to data of corresponding CI builds. Using data
from 14 open-source Java projects, we first identify 14 common error
categories. Besides test failures, which are by far the most common
error category (up to >80\% per project), we also identify noisy build
data, e.g., induced by transient Git interaction errors, or general
infrastructure flakiness. Second, we analyze which factors impact the
build results, taking into account general process and specific CI
metrics. Our results indicate that process metrics have a significant
impact on the build outcome in 8 of the 14 projects on average, but the
strongest influencing factor across all projects is overall stability in
the recent build history. For 10 projects, more than 50\% (up to 80\%)
of all failed builds follow a previous build failure. Moreover, the fail
ratio of the last k=10 builds has a significant impact on build results
for all projects in our dataset.},

Title = {Optimal selection of software reliability growth model for open-source
software using weighted Grey relational analysis method},
Journal = {COMPUTER JOURNAL},
Year = {2024},
Month = {2024 DEC 28},
Abstract = {Given the complexity of software development and testing environments,
the establishment of software reliability growth models (SRGMs) is
diverse. To date, no SRGM can be applied and implemented in all software
development and testing environments. Therefore, how to choose an
appropriate SRGM for software reliability evaluation in the current
software development and testing environment is an important practical
issue. In this study, we proposed a weighted Grey relational analysis
method to select the optimal SRGMs, including closed- and open-source
SRGMs, as well as perfect and imperfect debugging SRGMs. To effectively
validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we used 12 SRGMs, 11
model evaluation criteria, and 2 successive versions of open-source
software fault datasets. Results of this study indicated that the
proposed method can select the optimal SRGM in the current software
development and testing environment. To conclude, this study has
important practical significance for actual software development and
testing and makes important contributions to assisting developers or
testers in selecting the optimal SRGM for software reliability
assessment.},

Abstract = {The open-source software, called openCrys, is provided for the
multiscale simulation of antisolvent and combined antisolvent-cooling
crystallization. It simulates the macro- and micromixing scales, and the
complete energy and population balance equations during crystal
nucleation and growth. The model is based on the
Reynolds-Averaged-Navier-Stokes equation, coupled with a
three-environment presumed probability density function model, and the
spatially varying population balance equation semidiscretized using a
high resolution finite-volume method. openCrys is implemented in C++
object oriented programming language using the open-source CFD package
OpenFOAM. The software is used to compare the performance of dual
impinging jet, coaxial, and radial crystallizers. It is shown that
improving the micromixing does not necessarily result in a narrower
crystal size distribution when temperature effects are taken into
account. The complex interplay of crystallizer kinetics and momentum,
mass, and heat transfer makes the selection of the best mixer for a
particular application to be nonobvious, which motivates the development
and application of high-fidelity multiscale simulations for the design
of antisolvent crystallizers.},

Title = {The Cilialyzer - A freely available open-source software for the
analysis of mucociliary activity in respiratory cells},
Journal = {COMPUTER METHODS AND PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICINE},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {241},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {Background and Objective: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare
genetic disorder causing a defective ciliary structure, which
predominantly leads to an impaired mucociliary clearance and associated
airway disease. As there is currently no single diagnostic gold standard
test, PCD is diagnosed by a combination of several methods comprising
genetic testing and the examination of the ciliary structure and
function. Among the approved diagnostic methods, only high-speed video
microscopy (HSVM) allows to directly observe the ciliary motion and
therefore, to directly assess ciliary function. In the present work, we
present our recently developed freely available open-source software -
termed ``Cilialyzer{''}, which has been specifically designed to support
and facilitate the analysis of the mucociliary activity in respiratory
epithelial cells captured by high-speed video microscopy.Methods: In its
current state, the Cilialyzer software enables clinical PCD analysts to
load, preprocess and replay recorded image sequences as well as videos
with a feature-rich replaying module facilitating the commonly performed
qualitative visual assessment of ciliary function (including the
assessment of the ciliary beat pattern). The image processing methods
made accessible through an intuitive user interface allow clinical
specialists to comfortably compute the ciliary beating frequency (CBF),
the activity map and the ``frequency correlation length{''} - an
observable getting newly introduced. Furthermore, the Cilialyzer
contains a simple-to-use particle tracking interface to determine the
mucociliary transport speed.Results: Cilialyzer is fully written in the
Python programming language and freely available under the terms of the
MIT license. The proper functioning of the computational analysis
methods constituting the Cilialyzer software is demonstrated by using
simulated and representative sample data from clinical practice.
Additionally, the software was used to analyze high-speed videos showing
samples obtained from healthy controls and genetically confirmed PCD
cases (DNAI1 and DNAH11 mutations) to show its clinical
applicability.Conclusions: Cilialyzer serves as a useful clinical tool
for PCD analysts and provides new quantitative information awaiting to
be clinically evaluated using cohorts of PCD. As Cilialyzer is freely
available under the terms of a permissive open-source license, it serves
as a ground frame for further development of computational methods
aiming at the quantification and automation of the analysis of
mucociliary activity captured by HSVM.},

Pages = {11785-11804},
Abstract = {Software has become a vital factor in the fourth industrial revolution.
Owing to the increase in demand for software products in various fields
(big data, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, etc.), the
software industry has expanded more than ever before. Therefore,
software reliability has become very important, and efforts are being
made to increase it. One of these efforts is the development of software
reliability models (SRMs). SRMs have been studied for a long time as a
model that predicts software reliability by using the number of software
faults. Software failures can occur for several reasons, including
independent software faults such as code errors and software hangs, as
well as dependent cases where code errors lead to other software faults.
Recently, due to the diversity of software operating environments,
software faults are more likely to occur in a dependent manner, and, for
this reason, they are likely to increase rapidly from the beginning and
progress slowly to the maximum number thereafter. In addition, many
large companies have focused on open-source software (OSS) development,
and OSS is being developed by many users. In this study, we propose a
new SRM that considers the number of finite faults and dependent faults,
and examine the goodness-of-fit of a new SRM and other existing
non-homogeneous Poisson process models based on the OSS datasets.
Through numerical examples, the proposed model demonstrated a
significantly better goodness-of-fit when compared to other existing
models, and it also exhibited better results on the newly proposed
integrated criteria.},

Abstract = {Background: Optimization is the key to solving many problems in
computational biology. Global optimization methods, which provide a
robust methodology, and metaheuristics in particular have proven to be
the most efficient methods for many applications. Despite their utility,
there is a limited availability of metaheuristic tools.
Results: We present MEIGO, an R and Matlab optimization toolbox (also
available in Python via a wrapper of the R version), that implements
metaheuristics capable of solving diverse problems arising in systems
biology and bioinformatics. The toolbox includes the enhanced scatter
search method (eSS) for continuous nonlinear programming (cNLP) and
mixed-integer programming (MINLP) problems, and variable neighborhood
search (VNS) for Integer Programming (IP) problems. Additionally, the R
version includes BayesFit for parameter estimation by Bayesian
inference. The eSS and VNS methods can be run on a single-thread or in
parallel using a cooperative strategy. The code is supplied under GPLv3
and is available at http://www.iim.csic.es/similar to
gingproc/meigo.html. Documentation and examples are included. The R
package has been submitted to BioConductor. We evaluate MEIGO against
optimization benchmarks, and illustrate its applicability to a series of
case studies in bioinformatics and systems biology where it outperforms
other state-of-the-art methods.
Conclusions: MEIGO provides a free, open-source platform for
optimization that can be applied to multiple domains of systems biology
and bioinformatics. It includes efficient state of the art
metaheuristics, and its open and modular structure allows the addition
of further methods.},

Abstract = {Community networks intrinsically rely on being able to deploy large
scale projects with an explicit focus on cost effectiveness. As such,
they often leverage not only open-source software, but also some
proprietary solutions which, although closed source, may not command a
licence fee. This paper briefly discusses an undergraduate project
addressing a hardware solution integrating several open-source software
projects into a cohesive structure. The platform, tentatively dubbed as
a ``Mobile ISP{''} - or mISP is a natural extension on the established
Wireless ISP concept with a practical bent towards wire-free deployment
and gateway connectivity. In addition it justifies a split
micro-architecture approach and depicts further usage schemas for the
device afforded by virtue of the extensibility it offers.},

allocation based on open source software tools},
Journal = {COMPUTERS \& GEOSCIENCES},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {52},
Pages = {21-33},
Month = {MAR},
Abstract = {Combining emission inventory methods and geographic information systems
(GIS) remains a key issue for environmental modelling and management
purposes. This paper examines the development of a web GIS application
as part of an emission inventory system that produces maps and files
with spatial allocated emissions in a grid format. The study is not
confined in the maps produced but also presents the features and
capabilities of a web application that can be used by every user even
without any prior knowledge of the GIS field. The development of the
application was based on open source software tools such as MapServer
for the GIS functions, PostgreSQL and PostGIS for the data management
and HTML, PHP and JavaScript as programming languages. In addition,
background processes are used in an innovative manner to handle the time
consuming and computational costly procedures of the application.
Furthermore, a web map service was created to provide maps to other
clients such as the Google Maps API v3 that is used as part of the user
interface. The output of the application includes maps in vector and
raster format, maps with temporal resolution on daily and hourly basis,
grid files that can be used by air quality management systems and grid
files consistent with the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme
Grid. Although the system was developed and validated for the Republic
of Cyprus covering a remarkable wide range of pollutant and emissions
sources, it can be easily customized for use in other countries or
smaller areas, as long as geospatial and activity data are available.

the concept of making software debuggable. In so doing, I see a somewhat
different story than common narratives of debugging in current OSS

parallel, distributed debugging is rather a closely coupled collective
process of producing and interpreting debug texts with high cohesion
between the activities of reporting, finding, and understanding bugs.},

Abstract = {Open innovation is a paradigm that proposes that firms can and should
use external as well as internal innovations/ideas. A popular example of
open innovation has been open source software (OSS). The key issues
facing organizational decision makers considering OSS strategies is, how
does the firm create value for the customer while simultaneously
extracting value for itself? However, the adoption of OSS as part of an
open innovation strategy is a recent phenomenon and many unanswered
questions remain. Taking the viewpoint of seven IS/IT decision makers in
European firms, this paper reveals how decision makers considered
aspects of value creation, capture, and networking in making decisions
on adopting open source software. The findings reveal that while
decision makers look to open innovation for value creation and capture,
there is still a desire to remain self reliant, resulting in
collaborative design (of external innovations) rather than collaborative
decision making with value network partners in relation to how such
innovations would help create and capture value within firms.},

Abstract = {Context: Individuals and organizations are increasingly adopting Open
Source
Software (OSS) for the benefits it provides. Although the OSS evaluation
process and the information it requires are nowadays well known, users
still have problems finding the right information and are not supported
by any decision support system.
Objective: The aim of this study is to bridge the gap between OSS
adoption models, especially with the aim of supporting users in
evaluating the OSS they are planning to select.
Method: To reach this aim, we studied the processes and the information
considered by the major OSS assessment models. Then we carried out a
case study to identify which information can be automatically retrieved
from the main OSS platforms, namely GitHub, SonarCloud, and
StackExchange. Finally, we characterized the maturity of the projects
available on these three platforms.
Results: Projects available on the three platforms are commonly old,
stable, and mature ones. Moreover, thanks to the API provided, we were
able to extract most of the information not commonly accessible from the
main website.
Conclusions: Our results confirm that it is possible to develop a
decision support system based on these three platforms, and that is also
possible to evaluate both the quality and the maturity of the projects
available there.},

Argentina in order to deepen on their forms of participation and

social potentialities of the free software production model.
The analysis leads us to understand that these forms of solidarity
inside groups are inseparably attached to the personal pursuit and daily
needs of its participants.Communities generate and distribute capitals
and resources in a retributive way, according to their contributions and
inputs. Based on certain geeks / hackers identities linked to these
computer enthusiasts, such spaces strengthen ties, relations of
belonging and shared experiences. Along with it, ethical and political
definitions are constructed in relation to software and different topics
that make the local agenda of the collectives.
The text opens the discussion on the forms of militancy that exist
behind these groups and the construction of free software as a political
object. We enroll thus the debate into a broader reflection on
collective action and contemporary social movements.},

Abstract = {FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) systems present interesting
challenges in system evolution. On one hand, most FOSS systems are based
on very fine-grained units of software deployment - called packages -
which promote system evolution; on the other hand, FOSS systems are
among the largest software systems known and require sophisticated
static and dynamic conditions to be verified, in order to successfully
deploy upgrades on users' machines. The slightest error in one of these
conditions can turn a routine upgrade into a system administrator's
nightmare.
In this paper we introduce a model-based approach to support the upgrade
of FOSS systems. The approach promotes the simulation of upgrades to
predict failures before affecting the real system. Both fine-grained
static aspects (e.g. configuration incoherences) and dynamic aspects
(e.g. the execution of configuration scripts) are taken into account,
improving over the state of the art of upgrade planners. The
effectiveness of the approach is validated by instantiating the approach
to widely-used FOSS distributions. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights

on open-source software and commercially available telescope hardware},
Journal = {FRONTIERS IN ASTRONOMY AND SPACE SCIENCES},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {9},
Month = {OCT 3},
Abstract = {The observation of small bodies in the Space Environment is an ongoing
important task in astronomy. While nowadays new objects are mostly
detected in larger sky surveys, several follow-up observations are
usually needed for each object to improve the accuracy of orbit
determination. In particular objects orbiting close to Earth, so called
Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are of special concern as a small but not
negligible fraction of them can have a non-zero impact probability with
Earth. Additionally, the observation of manmade space debris and
tracking of satellites falls in the same class measurements. Telescopes
for these follow-up observations are mainly in a aperture class between
1 m down to approximately 25 cm. These telescopes are often hosted by
amateur observatories or dedicated companies like 6ROADS specialized on
this type of observation. With upcoming new NEO search campaigns by very
wide field of view telescopes, like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory,
NASA's NEO surveyor space mission and ESA's Flyeye telescopes, the
number of NEO discoveries will increase dramatically. This will require
an increasing number of useful telescopes for follow-up observations at
different geographical locations. While well-equipped amateur
astronomers often host instruments which might be capable of creating
useful measurements, both observation planning and scheduling, and also
analysis are still a major challenge for many observers. In this work we
present a fully robotic planning, scheduling and observation pipeline
that extends the widely used open-source cross-platform software
KStars/Ekos for Instrument Neutral Distributed Interface (INDI) devices.
The method consists of algorithms which automatically select NEO
candidates with priority according to ESA's Near-Earth Object
Coordination Centre (NEOCC). It then analyses detectable objects (based
on limiting magnitudes, geographical position, and time) with
preliminary ephemeris from the Minor Planet Center (MPC). Optimal
observing slots during the night are calculated and scheduled.
Immediately before the measurement the accurate position of the minor
body is recalculated and finally the images are taken. Besides the
detailed description of all components, we will show a complete robotic
hard- and software solution based on our methods.},

Abstract = {Forced swim test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) are commonly used
behavioral tests for screening antidepressant drugs with a high
predictive validity. These tests have also proved useful to assess the
non-motor symptoms in the animal models of movement disorders such as
Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease. Manual analysis of FST and
TST is a time-consuming exercise and has large observer-to-observer
variability. Automation of behavioral analysis alleviates these
concerns, but there are no easy-to-use open-source tools for such
analysis. Here, we describe the development of Depression Behavior
Scorer (DBscorer), an open-source program installable on Windows, with
an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), that helps in accurate
quantification of immobility behavior in FST and TST from video
analysis. Several calibration options allow customization of various
parameters to suit the experimental requirements. Apart from the readout
of time spent immobile, DBscorer also provides additional data and
graphics of immobility/mobility states across time revealing the
evolution of behavioral despair over the duration of the test and allows
the analysis of additional parameters. Such comprehensive analysis
allows a more nuanced understanding of the expression of behavioral
despair in FST and TST. We believe that DBscorer would make analysis of
behavior in FST and TST unbiased, automated and rapid, and hence prove
to be helpful to the wider neuroscience community.},

Abstract = {How learning occurs within Free/LibreOpen Source (FLOSS) communities and

Abstract = {With the recent upsurge in the development, use, and adoption of
free/libre open source software (FLOSS) across all sectors of business,
it is critical that graduates of computing degree programs gain an
understanding of FLOSS development tools, processes, and culture.
However, many faculty members are not fluent in FLOSS development and
have little experience in teaching FLOSS. This paper reports on a
faculty development program designed to bring instructors up to speed on
how to support student learning within FLOSS projects. The paper
discusses the challenges to FLOSS education from the instructor's
perspective, describes the Professors' Open Source Software Experience
(POSSE) workshop, and presents the results of a study into the impact of
POSSE on instructors based on semi-structured interviews. This work is

Forms of Participation in Open Source Software Communities},

Volume = {24},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) communities live and die with the continuous
contributions of programmers who often participate without direct
remuneration. An intriguing question is whether such sustained
participation in OSS projects yields economic benefits to the
participants. Moreover, as participants engage in OSS projects, they
take on different roles and activities in the community. This raises
additional questions of whether different forms of participation in OSS
communities are associated with different economic rewards and, if so,
in which contexts. In this paper, we draw upon theories of signaling and
job matching to hypothesize that participants who possess ``proof{''} of
their skills in OSS projects are financially rewarded for their
activities in the labor market. More specifically, we distinguish
between participation in OSS communities that is associated with a
signaling value for unobserved productivity characteristics and an
additional value that accrues to participants whose OSS roles and
activities match those in their paid employment. Following a cohort of
OSS programmers over a six-year period, we empirically examine the wages
and OSS performance of participants in three of the foremost OSS
projects operating within the Apache Software Foundation. Controlling
for individual characteristics and other wage-related factors, our
findings reveal that credentials earned through a merit-based ranking
system are associated with as much as an 18\% increase in wages.
Moreover, we find that participants who have OSS project management
responsibilities receive additional financial rewards if their
professional job is in IT management. These findings suggest that rank
within an OSS meritocracy is a credible and precise signal of
participants' productive capacity and that participants' roles and
activities in an OSS community have additional financial value when
aligned with their paid employment.},

Title = {Cross-status communication and project outcomes in OSS development A
language style matching perspective},
Journal = {EMPIRICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {28},
Number = {3},
Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {Context The success of an open source software (OSS) project requires
effective communication among its members. Given that OSS projects often
have established social status systems, such communication may happen
between individuals of different statuses, particularly, elite
developers with project management privileges and ordinary project
contributors. They communicate with each other onmany essential
activities, e.g., bug fixing, code review, etc., thus having profound
influences on project outcomes.
Objectives We seek to develop an understanding of cross-status
communication from a perspective of language stylematching among
developers of different status, and its relationships with an OSS
project's outcomes in terms of productivity and quality.
Method We approach the above research objectives with the language
stylematching (LSM) tool, which measures the similarities of
cross-status communication inmultiple language style features. We first
dynamically identify elite developers having project administration
privileges for each sampled project. Then, we capture the cross-status
communication between elite and non-elite developers; and calculate the
LSM features of these two groups of individuals. The LSM variables,
together with project outcomes, were used to fit regression models to
analyze potential relationships between cross-status communication's
language matching and project outcomes.
Results Using over 275,000 collected conversations, our analyses yield
rich insights into cross-status communication in open source
development. First, our results reveal that the elite and non-elite
developers exhibit quite similar linguistic patterns in using certain
categories of words. Second, we explore the relationships between
linguistic similarity in cross-status communication and project
outcomes. The regression results are generally negative, indicating
there might be very limited significant relationships between
cross-status communication's language matching and project outcomes,
with a few exceptions.
Limitations The study has several limitations. First, it considers
projects hosted on GitHub only. Second, to ensure data availability, our
sample is drawn from top projects, thus not representing all projects.
Third, we only consider a limited number of linguistic features, and
indicators for project outcomes.

Abstract = {Growing research on Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) has
addressed a variety of questions focusing on aspects ranging from open
source development processes and developer motivation, to economic and
policy-making implications. Nevertheless, a few authors have examined
the adoption of FLOSS and its impact on organizational change and
innovation. Adoption studies represent a particularly promising area for
information system researchers to investigate the relationship between
the specific properties of FLOSS and the processes of implementation and

by discussing a former multi-targeted research agenda and by defining an
empirically grounded framework for studying FLOSS adoption, drawing on
the outcomes of an exploratory multiple case study involving sixteen

Journal = {JOURNAL OF PERIODONTOLOGY},
Year = {2001},
Volume = {72},
Number = {5},
Pages = {672-678},
Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {Background: One of the major concerns with the use of dental floss is
the passage of the proximal contact, which might be influenced by the
material characteristics of the floss. The aim of this study was to
compare the gliding capacities of different flosses with major
differences in structure and experimental behavior in vivo.
Methods: In a clinical, single-blind, crossover study of 27 subjects,
the forces necessary for passing all 14 proximal contacts between the
first premolars were measured using 2 polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE)-based flosses, 2 nylon-based flosses, and 1 nylon-based tape. The
flosses were fixed in a special holder with strain gauges, which allowed
registration of the maximum forces at insertion into and removal from
the interdental area.
Results: In most contacts, the PTFE flosses needed less force compared
to the nylon flosses. The range between the flosses was higher in the
mandible compared to the maxilla and increased from the mesially located
contacts to the more distally located contacts. The nylon tape required
higher forces at insertion for all maxillary contacts. All other flosses
proved to be equivalent at these contacts.
Conclusions: PTFE flosses are superior to nylon flosses in terms of
passing stronger proximal contacts in both directions. Due to gliding
differences between different types of floss, the selection of a floss
has the potential of compensating intra- and interindividual variation
in contact strengths.},

Abstract = {Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) Linux distributions are among the
most complex modern software systems. They are made of thousands of
components (software packages) evolving rapidly without centralized
coordination. The upgrade of FOSS systems is managed by meta-installers,
which solve package dependencies and conflicts and lead the system to a
new system configuration by installing or removing packages. Current
tools are able to predict a very limited set of upgrade faults before
deployment, and this leaves a wide range of faults unpredicted. In this
paper, we focus on faults that remain unpredicted, for example, missing
packages, packages that are not properly installed, and missing
services, with the aim of providing a solution for them. Specifically,
in this paper, we propose a model-driven approach and supporting tools
to prevent specific classes of system configuration faults before
performing the real upgrade. Once the system configuration is
represented as a model, the configuration model is evaluated by means of
queries, each devoted to discover a specific class of faults. The
approach is intrinsically extensible so that user communities can add
new queries when new classes of faults are identified. The approach has
been validated by executing the fault detector on configuration models
in which faults have been intentionally injected and by analyzing
produced results. Copyright (c) 2015 John Wiley \& Sons, Ltd.},

Abstract = {This work analyzes the implementation of a continuous method of
structural topology optimization (STO) using open-source software for
all stages of the topology optimization problem: modeling, sensitivity
analysis and optimization. Its implementation involves three main
components: numerical analysis using the Finite Element Method (FEM),
sensitivity analysis using an Adjoint method and an optimization solver.
In order to allow the automated numerical solution of Partial
Differential Equations (PDEs) and perform a sensitivity analysis, FEniCS
and Dolfin Adjoint software are used as tools, which are open-source
code. For the optimization process, Ipopt (Interior Point OPTimizer) is
used, which is a software package for nonlinear optimization scale
designed to find (local) solutions of mathematical optimization
problems. The topological optimization method used is based on the
SIMP-Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization interpolation. The
considered problem is the minimization of compliance/maximization of
stiffness, considering the examples of recurrent structures in the
literature in 2D and 3D. A density filtering algorithm based on
Helmholtz formulation is used. The complete code involves 51 lines of
programming and is presented and commented in detail in this article.},

Abstract = {The structural stability of the developer collaboration network is
critical to the success of the OSS (Open Source Software) community.
However, research on the structural stability of the evolving developer
collaboration network in OSS communities is relatively insufficient. In
this paper, according to the software version sequence, we construct the
corresponding developer collaboration network of the Angular OSS
community and then analyse this network's structural stability during
network evolution. The results show that the network always presents an
economical modular small-world structure during its evolution. The
maintenance of the structure is related to a cohesive core, which is
composed of two types of nodes (i.e., hubs and connectors). The hubs
organize noncore nodes to form modules, while connectors facilitate the
formation of inter-module connections. The overall results highlight the
important role of core developers in the sustainable development of OSS
communities and may provide a reference for community initiators to
implement protection strategies for core developers.},

Journal = {BMC BIOINFORMATICS},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {15},
Month = {MAR 26},
Abstract = {Background: 20 years of improved technology and growing sequences now
renders residue-residue contact constraints in large protein families
through correlated mutations accurate enough to drive de novo
predictions of protein three-dimensional structure. The method EVfold
broke new ground using mean-field Direct Coupling Analysis
(EVfold-mfDCA); the method PSICOV applied a related concept by
estimating a sparse inverse covariance matrix. Both methods
(EVfold-mfDCA and PSICOV) are publicly available, but both require too
much CPU time for interactive applications. On top, EVfold-mfDCA depends
on proprietary software.
Results: Here, we present FreeContact, a fast, open source
implementation of EVfold-mfDCA and PSICOV. On a test set of 140
proteins, FreeContact was almost eight times faster than PSICOV without
decreasing prediction performance. The EVfold-mfDCA implementation of
FreeContact was over 220 times faster than PSICOV with negligible
performance decrease. EVfold-mfDCA was unavailable for testing due to
its dependency on proprietary software. FreeContact is implemented as
the free C++ library ``libfreecontact{''}, complete with command line
tool ``freecontact{''}, as well as Perl and Python modules. All
components are available as Debian packages. FreeContact supports the
BioXSD format for interoperability.
Conclusions: FreeContact provides the opportunity to compute reliable
contact predictions in any environment (desktop or cloud).},

Research in Open Source Software (CROSS) are described: Collaborative
Development for the XO Laptop (CODEX) and Software Modularity in Open
Source Software (SoMOSS). The CODEX project focused on creating
resources to support students undertaking software application
development for the XO laptop, and the SoMOSS project focused on
architectural studies of OSS instant messaging software.
Both projects achieved successful research outcomes; more importantly,
both student researchers benefited directly from the encouragement and
concrete assistance that they received through interaction with the
wider OSS research community. Both projects are ongoing and present
further research opportunities for students.},

innovations emerge and evolve in OSS development. They emerge after a
user recognizes a need, after which she invents a fix to meet the need,
thereafter needing a developer to realize the fix in the OSS.
Afterwards, the user experiments with the solution and may provide
feedback, which again may lead to the developer adjusting the OSS
accordingly. The process is characterized as a collaborative negotiation
process among the users and developers. The results also reveal that the
usability innovations may be need, opportunity or creativity based, and
connected to improving efficiency, effectiveness or satisfaction.
Implications both for theory and practice are discussed.},

sparse network structures},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {38},
Number = {1},
Pages = {167-174},
Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {Some authors in the literature have addressed knowledge transfer via
weak ties between organization's units which are themselves strongly
tied inside (e.g. Hansen, 1999). Some others have investigated knowledge
management among open-source-software (OSS) developers and discussed
factors influencing knowledge transfer within development teams (e.g.
Joshi and Sarker, 2006). In the domain of open source software (OSS)
communities, more companies are now attempting to establish
relationships to benefit from these potential value-creating
communities; and project managers could in fact target different goals
within software development teams including knowledge transfer within
and between teams. We step forward to distinguish knowledge transfer
within groups as opposed to knowledge transfer between groups; where
relevant projects are bundled into separate strongly intra-connected
groups. In knowledge management literature there is a trade-off between
sparse network structures (Burt, 2000, 2002) versus dense network
structures (Walker et al., 1997; Coleman, 1988). It is argued that the
former facilitates the diffusion and generation of ideas among groups,
while the latter affects the implementation of idea within each dense
group. To our best knowledge, there has been no study to investigate the
relationship between dense and sparse network structures. We propose
that knowledge transfer within dense groups has a positive influence on
knowledge transfer between sparse groups, in that intragroup density,
group size, developers centrality and betweenness could impact
intergroup coupling. To prove our hypothesis, we use a complex network
of open source software (OSS) as the domain of interest, where
developers represent nodes and two developers contributing to a project
task represent a network tie. Developers contributing to tasks in groups
other than their own can explore novel ideas via sharing knowledge,
whereas developers contributing to tasks inside groups exploit ideas to
improve those projects. We investigate the idea both analytically and
empirically within 4 months, 8 months and 1 year lagged time, and
finally show that intragroup density has a positive whereas developers'
centrality has a negative influence on intergroup coupling.},

Abstract = {We present the Python Red Pitaya Lockbox (PyRPL), an open source
software package that allows the implementation of automatic digital
feedback controllers for quantum optics experiments on commercially
available, affordable Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) boards. Our
software implements the digital generation of various types of error
signals, from an analog input through the application of loop filters of
high complexity and real-time gain adjustment for multiple analog output
signals, including different algorithms for resonance search, lock
acquisition sequences, and in-loop gain optimization. Furthermore, all
necessary diagnostic instruments, such as an oscilloscope, a network
analyzer, and a spectrum analyzer, are integrated into our software.
Apart from providing a quickly scalable, automatic feedback controller,
the lock performance that can be achieved by using PyRPL with imperfect
equipment, such as piezoelectric transducers and noisy amplifiers, is
better than the one achievable with standard analog controllers due to
the higher complexity of implementable filters and possibilities of
nonlinear operations in the FPGA. This drastically reduces the cost of
added complexity when introducing additional feedback loops to an
experiment. The open-source character also distinguishes PyRPL from
commercial solutions, as it allows users to customize functionalities at
various levels, ranging from the easy integration of PyRPL-based
feedback controllers into existing setups to the modification of the
FPGA functionality. A community of developers provides fast and
efficient implementation and testing of software modifications.},

Abstract = {Increasing adoption of Open Source Software (OSS) requires a change in
the organizational culture and reshaping IT decision-makers mindset.
Adopting OSS software components introduces some risks that can affect
the adopter organization's business goals, therefore they need to be
considered. To assess these risks, it is required to understand the
socio-technical structures that interrelate the stakeholders in the OSS
ecosystem, and how these structures may propagate the potential risks to
them. In this paper, we study the connection between OSS adoption risks
and OSS adopter organizations' business goals. We propose a model-based
approach and analysis framework that combines two existing frameworks:
the i{*} framework to model and reason about business goals, and the
RiskML notation to represent and analyse OSS adoption risks. We
illustrate our approach with data drawn from an industrial partner
organization in a joint EU project.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) is a model of computer software development
where the source code is available for programmers to view, read, modify
and re-distribute without the property right restrictions of proprietary
software. OSS has existed as a model for developing computer
applications and software since the 1950s. However, OSS has only found
its way into the public arena within the past decade due to some major
projects gaining significant market share from commercial developers
such as Microsoft. Research in the area of OSS has become more extensive
in recent years and has examined areas such as motivation of programmers
as well as the benefits of OSS. However, literature focusing on the
actual implementation of OSS is more limited with only Fitzgerald and
Kenny {[}(2004). Developing an information infrastructure with Open
Source Software. IEEE Software, 50-55] providing any substantial
analysis of how it might be achieved.
In this paper the focus is on OSS use and implementation within the UK
public sector. This sector has a history of resource wastage and
underperforming information systems. The underpinning issues of
motivation and benefits to organisations will be addressed along with
the difficulties that the UK Government faces in adopting an OSS
strategy. Section 2 examines the existing literature in the area and
explores why OSS should be adopted and implemented by the public sector
in the UK. Section 3 considers the research approach taken and the
results obtained from considering the implementation of OSS in eight
government organisations. Section 4 concludes with a discussion and some
implications for those organisations in the public sector who might wish
to take this approach. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd.},

Title = {Dnabarcoder: An open-source software package for analysing and
predicting DNA sequence similarity cutoffs for fungal sequence
identification},
Journal = {MOLECULAR ECOLOGY RESOURCES},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {22},
Number = {7},

Month = {OCT},
Abstract = {The accuracy and precision of fungal molecular identification and
classification are challenging, particularly in environmental
metabarcoding approaches as these often trade accuracy for efficiency
given the large data volumes at hand. In most ecological studies, only a
single similarity cutoff value is used for sequence identification. This
is not sufficient since the most commonly used DNA markers are known to
vary widely in terms of inter- and intraspecific variability. We address
this problem by presenting a new tool, dnabarcoder, to predict local
similarity cutoffs and measure the resolving powers of a biomarker for
sequence identification for different clades of fungi. It was shown that
the predicted similarity cutoffs varied significantly between the clades
of a recently released ITS DNA barcode data set from the CBS culture
collection of the Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute. When
classifying a large public fungal ITS data set-the UNITE
database-against the barcode data set, the local similarity cutoffs
assigned fewer sequences than the traditional cutoffs used in
metabarcoding studies. However, the obtained accuracy and precision were
significantly improved. Our study showed that it might be better to
extract the ITS region from the ITS barcodes to optimize taxonomic
assignment accuracy. Furthermore, 15.3, 25.6, and 26.3\% of the fungal
species of the barcode data set were indistinguishable by full-length
ITS, ITS1, and ITS2, respectively. Except for these indistinguishable
species, the resolving powers of full-length ITS, ITS1, and ITS2
sequences were similar at the species level. Nevertheless, the complete
ITS region had a better resolving power at higher taxonomic levels.},

receivers by single-frequency relative kinematic positioning},
Journal = {MEASUREMENT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {24},
Number = {11},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {goGPS is a free and open source satellite positioning software package
aiming to provide a collaborative platform for research and teaching
purposes. It was first published in 2009 and since then several related
projects are on-going. Its objective is the investigation of strategies
for enhancing the accuracy of low-cost single-frequency GPS receivers,
mainly by relative positioning with respect to a base station and by a
tailored extended Kalman filter working directly on code and phase
observations. In this paper, the positioning algorithms implemented in
goGPS are presented, emphasizing the modularity of the software design;
two specific strategies to support the navigation with low-cost
receivers are also proposed and discussed, namely an empirical
observation weighting function calibrated on the receiver
signal-to-noise ratio and the inclusion of height information from a
digital terrain model as an additional observation in the Kalman filter.
The former is crucial when working with high-sensitivity receivers,
while the latter can significantly improve the positioning in the
vertical direction. The overall goGPS positioning accuracy is assessed
by comparison with a dual-frequency receiver and with the positioning
computed by a standard low-cost receiver. The benefits of the calibrated
weighting function and the digital terrain model are investigated by an
experiment in a dense urban environment. It comes out that the use of
goGPS and low-cost receivers leads to results comparable with those
obtained by higher level receivers; goGPS has good performances also in
a dense urban environment, where its additional features play an
important role.},

intercalation materials in the open-source software Cantera},
Journal = {ELECTROCHIMICA ACTA},

Volume = {323},
Month = {NOV 10},
Abstract = {Modeling and simulation play a key role in analyzing the complex
electrochemical behavior of lithiumion batteries. We present the
development of a thermodynamic and kinetic modeling framework for
intercalation electrochemistry within the open-source software Cantera.
Instead of using equilibrium potentials and single-step Butler-Volmer
kinetics, Cantera is based on molar thermodynamic data and mass-action
kinetics, providing a physically-based and flexible means for complex
reaction pathways. Herein, we introduce a new thermodynamic class for
intercalation materials into the open-source software. We discuss the
derivation of molar thermodynamic data from experimental half-cell
potentials, and provide practical guidelines. We then demonstrate the
new class using a single-particle model of a lithium cobalt
oxide/graphite lithium-ion cell, implemented in MATLAB. With the present
extensions, Cantera provides a platform for the lithium-ion battery
modeling community both for consistent thermodynamic and kinetic models
and for exchanging the required thermodynamic and kinetic parameters. We
provide the full MATLAB code and parameter files as supplementary

Pages = {7460-7469},
Month = {MAY 3},
Abstract = {Natural products (or specialized metabolites) are historically the main
source of new drugs. However, the current drug discovery pipelines
require miniaturization and speeds that are incompatible with
traditional natural product research methods, especially in the early
stages of the research. This article introduces the NP3 MS Workflow, a
robust open-source software system for liquid chromatography-tandem mass
spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) untargeted metabolomic data processing and
analysis, designed to rank bioactive natural products directly from
complex mixtures of compounds, such as bioactive biota samples. NP3 MS
Workflow allows minimal user intervention as well as customization of
each step of LC-MS/MS data processing, with diagnostic statistics to
allow interpretation and optimization of LC-MS/MS data processing by the
user. NP3 MS Workflow adds improved computing of the MS2 spectra in an
LC-MS/MS data set and provides tools for automatic {[}M + H](+) ion
deconvolution using fragmentation rules; chemical structural annotation
against MS2 databases; and relative quantification of the precursor ions
for bioactivity correlation scoring. The software will be presented with
case studies and comparisons with equivalent tools currently available.
NP3 MS Workflow shows a robust and useful approach to select bioactive
natural products from complex mixtures, improving the set of tools
available for untargeted metabolomics. It can be easily integrated into
natural product-based drug-discovery pipelines and to other fields of
research at the interface of chemistry and biology.},

Abstract = {An open source implementation of a previously published integrated

bioavailability model (Kasting et al., 2008). The structure of the
Bayesian network was designed to be consistent with the adverse outcome
pathway published by the OECD (Jaworska et al., 2011, 2013). In this
paper, the previously published data set (Jaworska et al., 2013) is
improved by two data corrections and a modified application of the
Kasting model. The new data set implemented in the original commercial
software package and the new R version produced consistent results. The
data and a fully documented version of the code are publicly available

Abstract = {Reducing the time taken to discover and fix vulnerabilities in open
source software projects is increasingly relevant to technology
entrepreneurs and technology managers at all levels of industry.
Rigorous research requires access to valid and reliable data on when
vulnerabilities were introduced, discovered, and closed. This article
offers three contributions about measurement and data availability: (1)
an approach to measuring the time to discover and time to fix
vulnerabilities in open source software projects, (2) evidence that
combining project release histories and metrics from two online
databases can provide reliable proxy dates for vulnerability
introduction and fix, but not discovery, and (3) possible technical and
open collaboration solutions to the data availability limitations of
current databases. These results were part of a larger mixed-method
study on the relationship between open source project and community
attributes and software vulnerabilities with a data set of 1268
vulnerabilities affecting the software produced by 60 open source
projects.},

Title = {From Aristotle to Ringelmann: a large-scale analysis of team
productivity and coordination in Open Source Software projects},
Journal = {EMPIRICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING},
Year = {2016},
Volume = {21},
Number = {2},
Pages = {642-683},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {Complex software development projects rely on the contribution of teams
of developers, who are required to collaborate and coordinate their
efforts. The productivity of such development teams, i.e., how their
size is related to the produced output, is an important consideration
for project and schedule management as well as for cost estimation. The
majority of studies in empirical software engineering suggest that - due
to coordination overhead - teams of collaborating developers become less
productive as they grow in size. This phenomenon is commonly paraphrased
as Brooks' law of software project management, which states that
``adding manpower to a software project makes it later{''}. Outside
software engineering, the non-additive scaling of productivity in teams
is often referred to as the Ringelmann effect, which is studied
extensively in social psychology and organizational theory. Conversely,
a recent study suggested that in Open Source Software (OSS) projects,
the productivity of developers increases as the team grows in size.
Attributing it to collective synergetic effects, this surprising finding
was linked to the Aristotelian quote that ``the whole is more than the
sum of its parts{''}. Using a data set of 58 OSS projects with more than
580,000 commits contributed by more than 30,000 developers, in this
article we provide a large-scale analysis of the relation between size
and productivity of software development teams. Our findings confirm the
negative relation between team size and productivity previously
suggested by empirical software engineering research, thus providing
quantitative evidence for the presence of a strong Ringelmann effect.
Using fine-grained data on the association between developers and source
code files, we investigate possible explanations for the observed
relations between team size and productivity. In particular, we take a
network perspective on developer-code associations in software
development teams and show that the magnitude of the decrease in
productivity is likely to be related to the growth dynamics of
co-editing networks which can be interpreted as a first-order
approximation of coordination requirements.},

Year = {2007},
Volume = {93},
Number = {2},

Abstract = {This essay investigates the rhetorical practices of socio-technical
deliberation about free and open source (FIOS) software, providing
support for the idea that a public sphere is a socio-technical ensemble
that is discursive and fluid, yet tangible and organized because it is
enacted by both humans and non-humans. In keeping with the empirical
shift manifest in recent public sphere scholarship and Bruno Latour's
idea that socio-technical deliberation is characterized by the
inscription of non-humans, I describe the rhetorical manners in which
volunteer citizens define and mobilize a mundane artifact-a web site- in
a deliberation over the value of FIOS technologies for their
government-funded project. Through inscription of the web site as a
rhetorical resource and as the embodiment of their disposition toward
computer technologies, the volunteers formed and expressed competing
understandings of the role of FIOS technologies in sustaining a public
sphere. I argue that these competing views are consequential, for they
link technical artifacts and political agents in practice, by way of
aspirations, obligations, and forms of authority. Furthermore, by
claiming a form of agency for technologies in the public sphere, the
proponents of F10S technologies are inviting scholars of the public
sphere to question the status assigned to technical artifacts in their
investigations and theories of the public sphere.},

Title = {Legal aspects of ownership in modified open source software and its
impact on Russian software import substitution policy},
Journal = {COMPUTER LAW \& SECURITY REVIEW},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {33},
Number = {2},
Pages = {193-210},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {In my previous publication, I tried to show how personal data
legislation might be used for achieving the purposes of national
sovereignty(1). In this paper, I will demonstrate how open source
software may be used for achieving similar purposes. However, the
interplay between local copyright law, public procurement law and open
source community norms creates many issues relating to the legal status
and ownership in modified software, based on open source. This is
especially so in the case of so-called copyleft open source licenses,
where a collision occurs between copyright, as an absolute right
enforceable against the world, and the copyleft provisions of license
agreements, which may be treated as ``rights in personam{''} enforceable
only against the licensee. The exclusive right to derivative software as
an independent object of copyright, may come into conflict with
restrictions inherited from incoming copyleft licenses. This paper
provides an overview and analysis of such problems faced by Russian
software developers, attempting to comply with Russian import
substitution provisions, by using open source components. Although it is
based on Russian law, it may be applicable to other jurisdictions, since
general aspects of copyright law and its interaction with private
international law and contract law drive it. The paper concludes that
the developer of software, containing code licensed under GEL or other
copyleft provisions, receives full exclusive right to the derivative
software and can commercialize it as he sees appropriate, subject only
to possible claims of breach of contract rather than copyright
infringement. This opens wide perspectives for using open source
components regardless of the type of license used as bricks for building
a de-globalized economy and society based on principles of information
sovereignty. (C) 2016 Alexander Savelyev. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All

Oxygen Uptake Kinetics in Swimming and other Exercise Modalities},

Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {The assessment of oxygen uptake (VO2) kinetics is a valuable
non-invasive way to evaluate cardiorespiratory and metabolic response to
exercise. The aim of the study was to develop, describe and evaluate an
online VO2 fitting tool (VO(2)FITTING) for dynamically editing,
processing, filtering and modelling VO2 responses to exercise.
VO(2)FITTING was developed in Shiny, a web application framework for R
language. Validation VO2 datasets with both noisy and non-noisy data
were developed and applied to widely-used models (n = 7) for describing
different intensity transitions to verify concurrent validity.
Subsequently, we then conducted an experiment with age-group swimmers as
an example, illustrating how VO(2)FITTING can be used to model VO2
kinetics. Perfect fits were observed, and parameter estimates perfectly
matched the known inputted values for all available models (standard
error = 0; p < 0.001). The VO(2)FITTING is a valid, free and open-source
software for characterizing VO2 kinetics in exercise, which was
developed to help the research and performance analysis communities.},

Title = {Measuring the Shape and Size of Activated Sludge Particles Immobilized
in Agar with an Open Source Software Pipeline},
Journal = {JOVE-JOURNAL OF VISUALIZED EXPERIMENTS},
Year = {2019},
Number = {143},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {Experimental bioreactors, such as those treating wastewater, contain
particles whose size and shape are important parameters. For example,
the size and shape of activated sludge flocs can indicate the conditions
at the microscale, and also directly affect how well the sludge settles
in a clarifier.
Particle size and shape are both misleadingly `simple' measurements.
Many subtle issues, often unaddressed in informal protocols, can arise
when sampling, imaging, and analyzing particles. Sampling methods may be
biased or not provide enough statistical power. The samples themselves
may be poorly preserved or undergo alteration during immobilization.
Images may not be of sufficient quality; overlapping particles, depth of
field, magnification level, and various noise can all produce poor
results. Poorly specified analysis can introduce bias, such as that
produced by manual image thresholding and segmentation.
Affordability and throughput are desirable alongside reproducibility. An
affordable, high throughput method can enable more frequent particle
measurement, producing many images containing thousands of particles. A
method that uses inexpensive reagents, a common dissecting microscope,
and freely-available open source analysis software allows repeatable,
accessible, reproducible, and partially-automated experimental results.
Further, the product of such a method can be well-formatted,
well-defined, and easily understood by data analysis software, easing
both within-lab analyses and data sharing between labs.
We present a protocol that details the steps needed to produce such a
product, including: sampling, sample preparation and immobilization in
agar, digital image acquisition, digital image analysis, and examples of
experiment-specific figure generation from the analysis results. We have
also included an open-source data analysis pipeline to support this
protocol.},

Abstract = {This paper presents the preliminary results of a geomorphological survey
of the Olvera area (Cadiz province, Betic Ranges, Spain) and the use of
the Geographic Information System (GIS) Open Source (OS) software plus
Database Management System (DBMS) for making available and distributing
the landslide data over the Web. In the geomorphologic survey, different
landforms have been identified in the area, including structural,
anthropogenic, fluvial, karst, and slope forms. In particular, the
majority of the slope forms are complex (from topple to rotational
slides and falls), but there are also minor forms like debris flows and
mudslides. To manage geomorphological data, an Open Source GIS was used,
which contained the following components: QuantumGIS, System for
Automated Geoscientific Analyses (SAGA), GIS and Geographic Resources
Analysis Support System (GRASS), GIS for Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
generation. A key aim was to make the project-derived data available
over the Web. This was achieved using MapServer which allows for the
representation of the derived geospatial data with pMapper providing the
graphical Web interface. Our study highlights the process dynamics of
run-off erosion in Olvera derived through the use of advanced
computer-based mapping tools. The resulting map products and
interpretations are available via the Internet. To date, derivative maps
have been produced to improve maintenance of roads and transport and of
the construction of new infrastructure.},

Year = {2013},
Volume = {25},

Abstract = {For any software project, most experts regard the maintenance phase as
the most effort and cost intensive of all phases in the software
development life cycle. This is due to the high maintenance effort,
time, and resources needed to effectively address issues during software
maintenance (maintenance activities). Mismanagement of these efforts can
lead to the degradation of software maintainability. Understanding the
assessment of the related software processes can help sustain or improve
maintainability during these maintenance activities. Recent studies have
shown that current software process assessments are expensive, generic,
and complex, especially for smaller organizations. In this paper, we
investigate an alternative software process assessment approach
performed by analyzing fine-grained processes (micro processes) of
maintenance activities. This approach assesses maintenance efforts based
on micro processes in relation to their impact on source code. The
approach derives maintenance effort from the complexity and duration of
micro processes and uses proposed metrics based on program slicing to
measure change impact. In this paper, we investigate an alternative
software process assessment approach by analysing fine-grained processes
(micro processes) of maintenance activities. At statistically
significant levels, results suggest that the level of the maintenance
efforts correlates with its impact on source code. Copyright (c) 2012

Volume = {26},
Number = {4},
Pages = {509-534},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Crowdsourcing system requirements enables project managers to elicit
feedback from a broader range of stakeholders. The advantages of
crowdsourcing include a higher volume of requirements reflecting a more
comprehensive array of use cases and a more engaged and committed user
base. Researchers cite the inability of project teams to effectively
manage an increasing volume of system requirements as a possible
drawback. This paper analyzes a data set consisting of project
management artifacts from 562 open-source software (OSS) projects to
determine how OSS project performance varies as the share of
crowdsourced requirements increases using six measures of effectiveness:
requirement close-out time, requirement response time, average comment
activity, the average number of requirements per crowd member, the
average retention time for crowd members, and the total volume of
requirements. Additionally, the models measure how the impact of
increasing the share of crowdsourced requirements changes with
stakeholder network structure. The analysis shows that stakeholder
network structure impacts OSS performance outcomes and that the effect
changes with the share of crowdsourced requirements. OSS projects with
more concentrated stakeholder networks perform the best. The results
indicate that requirements crowdsourcing faces diminishing marginal
returns. OSS projects that crowdsource more than 70\% of their
requirements benefit more from implementing processes to organize and
prioritize existing requirements than from incentivizing the crowd to
generate additional requirements. Analysis in the paper also suggests
that OSS projects could benefit from employing CrowdRE techniques and
assigning dedicated community managers to more effectively channel input
from the crowd.},

Abstract = {The high turnover of developers in the Open-Source Software (OSS)
systems is due to the lack of restriction on a developer?s involvement

project. However, they do not manage those who contribute. The
literature shows that 80\% of issues are resolved by 20\% of developers
when developing an OSS. Therefore, identifying influential developer
communities is quite necessary for OSS stakeholders to reduce the
efforts required to solve the issue through releases and predict
quality. The purpose of this proposed empirical study is to explore
influential communities by analyzing the relationship between their
members as an OSS evolves and its impact on software quality. We
performed several experiments with releases of three widely used OSS,
namely ?BIGDL,? ?INCUBATOR-MXNET? and ?RECOMMENDERS.? The major
implications of the proposed study include; 1) The community development
structure is not centralized and controlled, 2) Influential communities
were observed in early releases of an OSS, 3) There is no guarantee of
an influential community in the consecutive releases, 4) Notable
developers are varied through the releases, and 5) The presence of
influential communities in subsequent releases could lead to the
maturity of an OSS.},

communication within an organization was reported to cause broken links

how tools and code can exercise agency and alter a software development
process as an equivalently active actor of the scene. We discuss the

Abstract = {Software projects are frequently used to provide software engineering
students with an understanding of the complexities of real-world
software development. Free and Open Source Software projects provide a
unique opportunity for student learning as projects are open and
accessible and students are able to interact with an established
professional community. However, many faculty members have little or no
experience participating in an open source software project. In
addition, faculty members may be reluctant to approach student learning
within such a project due to concerns over time requirements, learning
curve, the unpredictability of working with a ``live{''} community, and
more. This paper provides guidance to instructors desiring to involve
students in open source projects.},

Abstract = {The active control of stormwater systems is a potential solution to
increased street flooding in low-lying, low-relief coastal cities due to
climate change and accompanying sea level rise. Model predictive control
(MPC) has been shown to be a successful control strategy generally and
as well as for managing urban drainage specifically. This research
describes and demonstrates the implementation of MPC for urban drainage
systems using open source software (Python and The United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Storm Water Management Model
(SWMM5). The system was demonstrated using a simplified use case in
which an actively-controlled outlet of a detention pond is simulated.
The control of the pond's outlet influences the flood risk of a
downstream node. For each step in the SWMM5 model, a series of policies
for controlling the outlet are evaluated. The best policy is then
selected using an evolutionary algorithm. The policies are evaluated
against an objective function that penalizes primarily flooding and
secondarily deviation of the detention pond level from a target level.
Freely available Python libraries provide the key functionality for the
MPC workflow: step-by-step running of the SWMM5 simulation, evolutionary
algorithm implementation, and leveraging parallel computing. For
perspective, the MPC results were compared to results from a rule-based
approach and a scenario with no active control. The MPC approach
produced a control policy that largely eliminated flooding (unlike the
scenario with no active control) and maintained the detention pond's
water level closer to a target level (unlike the rule-based approach).},

are dealing with accessibility. Furthermore, we proposed changes in a
specific process for the development of free software in order to insert

Abstract = {In this article, a novel approach to find out optimum tilt angle using
generated and predicted solar data is presented. Here the generated
electricity outputs data of the photovoltaics (PVs), installed on the
building rooftops at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee,
India, have been obtained from the Institute for the past four years
(2015-18). Simultaneously, the solar PV output data have been predicted
using open source software application, geographic information system
(GIS), Perl, global horizontal irradiance (GHI), remote sensing, and
cloud computing. The satellite-derived GHI has been obtained from the
database developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL),
United States, and local GHI using a pyranometer to validate the
results. In the presented work, tilted GHI has been estimated using
modified tilt angle algorithm implemented using Perl in a cloud
environment. Further, the usable rooftop area has been digitized on
high-resolution WorldView-3 image and calculated using QGIS. In this
study, the validation of an optimum tilt angle has been performed by the
comparison of the output from the installed solar plant to the predicted
solar potential. The processing of optimum tilt angle obtained (19.86
degrees) at IIT Roorkee has been performed using XenCenter server. This
helped in processing the computation-intensive tilted GHI at various
tilt angles. This approach also helped in providing further expansion
plan. The R-2 value between the predicted solar potential and actual
generation for this study is 0.82.},

Abstract = {In this paper, we present CTRAMER (Charge-Transfer RAtes from Molecular

package for calculating interfacial charge-transfer (CT) rate constants
in organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials based on ab initio calculations

representative donor/acceptor geometries within interfacial structures
obtained from molecular dynamics simulation of donor/acceptor blends and
calculating the corresponding Fermi's golden rule CT rate constants
within the framework of the linearized-semiclassical approximation.
While the methods used are well established, the integration of these
state-of-the-art tools originating from different disciplines to study
photoinduced CT processes with explicit treatment of the environment, in
our opinion, makes this package unique and innovative. The software also
provides tools for investigating other observables of interest. After
outlining the features and implementation details, the usage and
performance of the software are demonstrated with results from an
example OPV system.},

Volume = {274},

Month = {AUG 15},
Abstract = {Manual chamber-based measurements of CO2 (and H2O) fluxes are important
for understanding ecosystem carbon metabolism. Small opaque chambers can
be used to measure leaf, stem and soil respiration. Larger transparent
chambers can be used to measure net ecosystem exchange of CO2, and small
jars often serve this purpose for laboratory incubations of soil and
plant material. We developed an Android application (app), called Flux
Puppy, to facilitate chamber-based flux measurements in the field and
laboratory. The app is designed to run on an inexpensive handheld
Android device, such as a tablet or phone, and it has a graphical user
interface that communicates with a LI-COR LI-820 and LI-830 (CO2) or
LI-840 and LI-850 (CO2/H2O) infrared gas analyzer. The app logs
concentrations of CO2 and H2O, cell temperature and pressure at 1 Hz,
displays the output graphically, and calculates the linear regression
slope, R-squared, and standard error of the CO2 time series. A metadata
screen allows users to enter operator, site, and plot information, as
well as take a photograph using the Android device's built-in camera,
and log measurement location using the device GPS. Additionally, there
is a notes field, which can be revised after the measurements are taken.
Data files (the 1 s raw data, photograph, and metadata including
statistics calculated from the raw data) are then transmitted off the
device through file sharing options (Gmail, Outlook, Google Drive,
Dropbox etc.). Because Flux Puppy code is open-source (available on
GitHub) and the flux measurement system we describe is relatively
inexpensive and straightforward to assemble, it should be of broad
interest to the carbon cycling community.},

Abstract = {Subspace segmentation is the task of segmenting data lying on multiple
linear subspaces. Its applications in computer vision include motion
segmentation in video, structure-from-motion, and image clustering. In
this work, we describe a novel approach for subspace segmentation that
uses probabilistic inference via a message-passing algorithm.
We cast the subspace segmentation problem as that of choosing the best
subset of linear subspaces from a set of candidate subspaces constructed
from the data. Under this formulation, subspace segmentation corresponds
to facility location, a well studied operational research problem.
Approximate solutions to this NP-hard optimization problem can be found
by performing maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) inference in a probabilistic
graphical model. We describe the graphical model and a message-passing
inference algorithm.
We demonstrate the performance of Facility Location for Subspace
Segmentation, or FLoSS, on synthetic data as well as on 3D multi-body
video motion segmentation from point correspondences.},

Abstract = {Standards development organizations (SDOs) exist to assure the
development of consensus-based, quality standards. These formal
standards are needed in the telecommunications market to achieve
functional interoperability. The standardization process takes years,
and then a vendor still needs to implement the resulting standard in a
product. This prevents service providers (SPs) who are willing to
venture into new domains from doing so at a fast pace. With the
development of software-defined networking (SDN) and network function
virtualization (NFV), opensource technology is emerging as a new option
in the telecommunications market. In contrast to SDOs, open-source
software (OSS) communities create a product that may implicitly define a
de-facto standard based on market consensus. Therefore, SPs are drawn to
OSS, but they face technical, procedural, legal, and cultural challenges
due to their lack of experience with open software development. The
question therefore arises, how the interaction between OSS communities,
SDOs, and industry fora (IF) can be organized to tackle these
challenges.
This article examines the evolving roles of OSS communities, IF, and
SDOs, and places them in an NFV/SDN context. It sketches the differences
between these roles and provides guidelines on how the interaction
between them can turn into a mutually beneficial relationship that
balances the conflicting goals of timely development on the one hand and
technical excellence, openness, and fairness on the other, to reach
their common goal of creating flexible and efficient telecommunications
networks.},

Abstract = {X-ray computed tomography (CT) images of rock specimens often contain
artifacts which must be corrected before scientific analyses are
performed. This paper presents a new workflow of automated image
processing to utilize poor-quality X-ray CT scan images. The workflow
runs on the open-source image analysis software and efficiently
separates desired features from low-contrast scanned images. The new
workflow is a two-step technique using contrast enhancement and
automated feature segmentation to generate noise-free binary images. The
results of binary images using the proposed workflow and using a
conventional thresholding technique are analyzed to show the quality of
the proposed method. The paper also presents a workflow of estimating
the structural geometries of features in two and three dimensions. The
results of the structural feature analyses and computational time were
compared between the open-source (ImageJ) and commercial image analysis
software (Bruker Computed Tomography Analyzer). The commercial software
was more computationally efficient, but the task-specific macros in
open-source software enabled the user-desired automation in image
processing and data extraction of desired structural features of
comparable quality.},

Abstract = {A growing body of literature has explored the motivations for
individuals to take part in free and open source software (FOSS), yet
how firms participate is largely an unattended research area. Building
on information from an extensive dataset of secondary sources and 30
in-depth interviews, I show that de novo entrants have emerged in
conjunction with a changing institutional infrastructure and a more
pragmatic attitude toward firms that focus on technological benefits
rather than ideology. To understand how these firms try to harness the
work of these communities, I use the empirical data to derive a 22
matrix of different approaches. The X axis reflects whether or not the
firms initiated a new community or relied on communities founded by
peers, whereas the Y axis represents the degree of participation of the
firm in the community. This taxonomy illustrates how de novo entrant are
initiating new forms of communities or joining communities established
by peers. This suggests that while many of the central pillars of FOSS
remains, de novo entrants have emerged to find new ways of making
business resulting in various implications for firm strategies and
knowledge disclosure.},

Abstract = {This study attempted to delineate and map potential groundwater recharge
zones of the Singida, semi-arid, fractured crystalline basement aquifer
using open source remote sensing and GIS software. Various thematic maps
such as lithology/hydrogeology, soil, land-cover/use, slope, lineament
density, drainage density and rainfall distribution were integrated in
QGIS software. Vector input layers were rasterized and resampled using
QGIS wrap projection function to make sure that the grid cells are of
the same size. Reclassification using SAGA and GRASS reclass algorithms
in QGIS was carried out to realign the factor classes in a consistent
scale, and reclassification to a scale of 1 to 5 was carried out to
harmonize the results. The study identified a number of potential areas
for groundwater recharge, groundwater exploration, groundwater
development and potential areas for artificial groundwater recharge.
Potential groundwater recharge zones for the Singida semi-arid fractured
aquifer are restricted to areas with high lineament density, cultivated
areas, grassland and flat to gentle slopes. The potential of groundwater
recharge is also observed in areas with low drainage density. The
delineated zones provide a good understanding of the potential recharge
zones, which are a starting point for recharge zone protection. This
blended approach can be utilized for carrying out suitability analysis
using the weighted overlay analysis approach. Areas designated good and
very good are recommended for artificial recharging structures as an
alternative technique for enhancing groundwater recharge through
rainwater harvesting. This will help to augment groundwater storage in
this semi-arid environment.},

Abstract = {PurposeThis research investigates how the value creation interests and
activities of different stakeholder groups within one open source
software (OSS) project influence the project's development over
time.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a case study of
OpenSimulator using textual and thematic analyses of the initial four
years of OpenSimulator developer mailing list to identify each
stakeholder group and guide our analysis of their interests and value
creation activities over time.FindingsThe analysis revealed that while
each stakeholder group was active within the OSS project's development,
the different groups possessed complementary interests that enabled the
project to evolve. In the formative period, entrepreneurs were
interested in the software's strategic direction in the market,
academics and SMEs in software functionality and large firms and
hobbyists in software testing. Each group retained its primary interest
in the maturing period with academics and SMEs separating into server-
and client-side usability. The analysis shed light on how the different
stakeholder groups overcame tensions amongst themselves and took
specific actions to sustain the project.Originality/valueThe authors
extend stakeholder theory by reconceptualizing the focal organization
and its stakeholders for OSS projects. To date, OSS research has
primarily focused on examining one project relative to its marketplace.
Using stakeholder theory, we identified stakeholder groups within a
single OSS project to demonstrate their distinct interests and how these
interests influence their value creation activities over time.
Collectively, these interests enable the project's long-term
development.},

are to be implemented (or revised) in which release of a software

well-studied, little investigation has been performed for open source

the planning and the subsequent maintenance process. In this paper, we
provide the basic layout of a method to formulate and analyze feature
dependencies defined at the code level. Dependencies are de fined from
evolutionary analysis of the commit graph of OSS code development and
syntactical dependencies. We demonstrate our method with an explorative
study of an open source project, the Spring Framework. From the analysis
of the development cycles of two major releases over forty-one months,
we could correlate late, increased feature dependencies with an
increased number for subsequent improvements and bug fixes.},

Abstract = {OSS is a real-time supervising concept for marine operations and
management based on data assimilation and integrated measurements and
models. OSS is composed of an underwater sensor network, communication
links to computers running ocean models, computer ocean models and a
data assimilation tool which adapts the model to measurement data from
the sensor network. The paper describes the overall system and how the
sensor measurements are updating the model. The inclusion of
electromagnetic communication in the sensor network is discussed,
illustrating the link sea surface range and performance in terms of
signal level variations. Results from real measurements at the coast of
Norway show the improved predictions of sea current behaviour. Besides
from improving the quality of predictions, modelling is used for optimum
deployment of the network nodes, representing a major economical benefit
of the OSS approach compared to a more ad hoc deployment of the nodes.},

combining a two-stage thermal process (pyrolysis-combustion) with a
thermogravimetric analyzer and a Fourier transform infrared
spectrometer, it has been possible to identify the major organic
volatile products of pyrolysis and to correlate gas evolution with the
decomposition of the individual components (cellulose, hemicellulose and
lignin) of the floss. During pyrolysis, acetic acid, formic acid and
methanol are formed in addition to CO2 and H2O. The data also show that
pyrolytic decomposition of the three chemical constituents of milkweed
occur without any apparent synergistic interaction. The combustion of
milkweed produced CO2 and H2O, as expected, but the removal of the waxy
coating from the fibers results in an increased susceptibility to
combustion. The coating displays no effect on the process of pyrolysis.},

Long Term Contributor (LTC) is associated with her willingness and

be more active and show more community-oriented attitude than other
joiners. Joiners who start by commenting on instead of reporting an
issue or ones who succeed to get at least one reported issue to be
fixed, more than double their odds of becoming an LTC. The micro-climate
with a productive and clustered peer group increases the odds. On the
contrary, the macro-climate with high project popularity and the
micro-climate with low attention from peers reduce the odds. This
implies that the interaction between individual's attitude and project's
climate are associated with the odds that an individual would become a
valuable contributor or disengage from the project. Our findings may
provide a basis for empirical approaches to design a better community
architecture and to improve the experience of contributors.},

Abstract = {Motivation: To survive and succeed, FLOSS projects need contributors
able to accomplish critical project tasks. However, such tasks require
extensive project experience of long term contributors (LTCs). Aim: We
measure, understand, and predict how the newcomers' involvement and
environment in the issue tracking system (ITS) affect their odds of
becoming an LTC. Method: ITS data of Mozilla and Gnome, literature,
interviews, and online documents were used to design measures of
involvement and environment. A logistic regression model was used to
explain and predict contributor's odds of becoming an LTC. We also
reproduced the results on new data provided by Mozilla. Results: We
constructed nine measures of involvement and environment based on events
recorded in an ITS. Macro-climate is the overall project environment
while micro-climate is person-specific and varies among the
participants. Newcomers who are able to get at least one issue reported
in the first month to be fixed, doubled their odds of becoming an LTC.
The macro-climate with high project popularity and the micro-climate
with low attention from peers reduced the odds. The precision of LTC
prediction was 38 times higher than for a random predictor. We were able
to reproduce the results with new Mozilla data without losing the
significance or predictive power of the previously published model. We
encountered unexpected changes in some attributes and suggest ways to
make analysis of ITS data more reproducible. Conclusions: The findings
suggest the importance of initial behaviors and experiences of new
participants and outline empirically-based approaches to help the
communities with the recruitment of contributors for long-term
participation and to help the participants contribute more effectively.
To facilitate the reproduction of the study and of the proposed measures
in other contexts, we provide the data we retrieved and the scripts we

Photoplethysmographic Hardware and Open-Source Software},
Journal = {SENSORS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {24},

Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {The remote monitoring of vital signs via wearable devices holds
significant potential for alleviating the strain on hospital resources
and elder-care facilities. Among the various techniques available,
photoplethysmography stands out as particularly promising for assessing
vital signs such as heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and
blood pressure. Despite the efficacy of this method, many commercially
available wearables, bearing Conformit \& eacute; Europ \& eacute;enne
marks and the approval of the Food and Drug Administration, are often
integrated within proprietary, closed data ecosystems and are very
expensive. In an effort to democratize access to affordable wearable
devices, our research endeavored to develop an open-source
photoplethysmographic sensor utilizing off-the-shelf hardware and
open-source software components. The primary aim of this investigation
was to ascertain whether the combination of off-the-shelf hardware
components and open-source software yielded vital-sign measurements
(specifically heart rate and respiratory rate) comparable to those
obtained from more expensive, commercially endorsed medical devices.
Conducted as a prospective, single-center study, the research involved
the assessment of fifteen participants for three minutes in four
distinct positions, supine, seated, standing, and walking in place. The
sensor consisted of four PulseSensors measuring photoplethysmographic
signals with green light in reflection mode. Subsequent signal
processing utilized various open-source Python packages. The heart rate
assessment involved the comparison of three distinct methodologies,
while the respiratory rate analysis entailed the evaluation of fifteen
different algorithmic combinations. For one-minute average heart rates'
determination, the Neurokit process pipeline achieved the best results
in a seated position with a Spearman's coefficient of 0.9 and a mean
difference of 0.59 BPM. For the respiratory rate, the combined
utilization of Neurokit and Charlton algorithms yielded the most
favorable outcomes with a Spearman's coefficient of 0.82 and a mean
difference of 1.90 BrPM. This research found that off-the-shelf
components are able to produce comparable results for heart and
respiratory rates to those of commercial and approved medical wearables.},

Abstract = {Diabetes mellitus is a serious disease with increasing global
prevalence. Point-of-care analysis of glycated hemoglobin A (HbA(1c))
holds promise as a diagnostic test for diabetes mellitus in
epidemiological studies in challenging environments with limited access
to centralized biochemical labs. The HemoCue HbA1c 501 device can be
used for point-of-care determination of HbA(1c), but its usability in
epidemiological studies is limited by its inability to export results in
digital format. We have developed the open source HemoDownloader
software to overcome this limitation of the device. HemoDownloader has
an easy-to-use graphical user interface and can export data from HemoCue
HbA1c 501 to standard spreadsheet file formats. The program has the
potential to improve data collection and management in epidemiological
studies of diabetes mellitus.},

team role diversity on open source software project performance},

Abstract = {This manuscript delineates two open innovation strategies, inbound and
outbound, to examine how their tradeoff effects on open source software
project performance are affected by project team role diversity. We
leverage Opportunity-Motivation-Ability (OMA) theory to explain that
inbound open innovation provides opportunities to access external
knowledge in open innovation community networks; but whether a project
can absorb and utilize such external knowledge depends on outbound open
innovation and project team role diversity, which influence the team
members? motivation and ability to do so. Using a large sample of open
source software projects, the empirical findings suggest project
performance should be distinguished as internal (technical performance)
and external (market performance) to understand the effects of open
innovation strategy. Technical performance is enhanced with a coupled
open innovation strategy that leverages both high outbound open
innovation and high inbound open innovation, in conjunction with low
team role diversity. However, an inbound open innovation strategy is
optimal for market performance, particularly when team role diversity is
high. Thus, project team role diversity explains the trade-off effects
of inbound and outbound open innovation strategies on project technical
performance and market performance.},

Title = {Novel Multi-Perspective Usability Evaluation Framework for Selection of
Open Source Software Based on BWM and Group VIKOR Techniques},

Volume = {22},

Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {Increasing demand for open-source software (OSS) has raised the value of
efficient selection in terms of quality; usability is an essential
quality factor that significantly affects system acceptability and
sustainability. Most large and complex software packages partitioned
across multiple portals and involve many users - each with their role in
the software package; those users have different perspectives on the
software package, defined by their knowledge, responsibilities, and
commitments. Thus, a multi-perspective approach has been used in
usability evaluation to overcome the challenge of inconsistency between
users' perspectives; the inconsistency challenge would lead to an
ill-advised decision on the selection of a suitable OSS. This study
aimed to assist the public and private organizations in evaluating and
selecting the most suitable OSS. The evaluation of the OSS software
packages to choose the best one is a challenging task owing to (a)
multiple evaluation criteria, (b) criteria importance, and (c) data
variation; thus, it is considered a sophisticated multi-criteria
decision making (MCDM) problem; moreover, the multi-perspective
usability evaluation framework for OSS selection lacks in the current
literature. Hence, this study proposes a novel multi-perspective
usability evaluation framework for the selection of OSS based on the
multi-criteria analysis. Integration of best-worst method (BWM) and
VIKOR MCDM techniques has been used for weighting and ranking OSS
alternatives. BWM is utilized for weighting of evaluation criteria,
whereas VIKOR is applied to rank OSS-LMS alternatives. Individual and
group decision-making contexts, and the internal and external groups
aggregation were used to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed
framework. A well-organized algorithmic procedure is presented in
detail, and a case study was examined to illustrate the validity and
feasibility of the proposed framework. The results demonstrated that BWM
and VIKOR integration works effectively to solve the OSS software
package benchmarking/selection problems. Furthermore, the ranks of OSS
software packages obtained from the VIKOR internal and external group
decision making were similar; the best OSS-LMS based on the two ways was
`Moodle' software package. Among the scores of groups in the objective
validation, significant differences were identified; this indicated that
the ranking results of internal and external VIKOR group decision making
were valid, which pointed to the validation of the framework.},

In order to efficiently use the airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
remote sensing data acquired in the Airborne Remote Sensing Center of
the Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth (RADI), Chinese
Academy of Sciences (CAS), a Web-GIS based platform for airborne SAR
data management, distribution and sharing was designed and developed.
The major features of the system include map based navigation search
interface, full resolution imagery shown overlaid the map, and all the
software adopted in the platform are Open Source Software (OSS). The
functions of the platform include browsing the imagery on the map
navigation based interface, ordering and downloading data online, image
dataset and user management, etc. At present, the system is under
testing in RADI and will come to regular operation soon.},

Month = {FEB 23},
Abstract = {To meet the demands of precise orbit and clock determination,
high-precision positioning, and navigation applications, a software
called GREAT (GNSS + Research, Application and Teaching) was designed
and developed at Wuhan University. As one important module in the GREAT
software, GREAT-UPD was developed for multi-GNSS and multi-frequency
uncalibrated phase delay (UPD) estimation. It can provide
extra-wide-lane (EWL), wide-lane (WL), and narrow-lane (NL) UPDs for
GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BDS (GREC) satellites for precise point
positioning (PPP) ambiguity resolution (AR) in a multi-GNSS and
multi-frequency environment. The open-source GREAT-UPD software is
written in C + + 11 language following object-oriented principles and
can be compiled and run on several popular operating systems, such as
Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. Observations from 222 stations spanning
days from DOY 091 to 120 were used to conduct multi-GNSS and
multi-frequency UPD estimation and PPP AR. Results indicate that
GREAT-UPD can generate stable and reliable UPD products with multi-GNSS
and multi-frequency observations. After applying the UPD corrections,
the multi-frequency GREC PPP AR was achieved with the averaged time to
first fix of 9.0 min. The software package can be obtained at
https://geodesy.noaa. gov/gps-toolbox,, including the source code, user
manual, batch processing scripts, example data, and some auxiliary

Abstract = {This paper focuses on the interplay between firms and open and
collaborative innovation communities. We develop a formal model where
both volunteers (agents setting their agendas freely) and firm's
employees (agents whose agenda is mostly set by their employer)
participate in the creation of a common artifact. In this framework, we
discuss how firms can influence the architecture of the emerging product
to assure fast and performant development and a desirable distribution
of innovative labor within the project team. We find that closing the
project only to employees implies high speed and performance if
employees are given autonomy in certain dimensions and are directed in
others. In this case, however, we observe a trade-off in terms of ideal
core-periphery division of labor on one side and development speed and
performance on the other side. At the opposite extreme, creating a
volunteer-only project can ease the trade-off but assures positive
results only if the firm is able to set up an entry mechanism that
``surgically{''} selects volunteers with specific preferences. A mixture
of both employees and volunteers can strike a good balance, relaxing the
two constraints.},

Abstract = {The growth of digital pathology over the past decade has opened new
research pathways and insights in cancer prediction and prognosis. In
particular, there has been a surge in deep learning and computer vision
techniques to analyse digital images. Common practice in this area is to
use image pre-processing and augmentation to prevent bias and
overfitting, creating a more robust deep learning model. This generally
requires consultation of documentation for multiple coding libraries, as
well as trial and error to ensure that the techniques used on the images
are appropriate. Herein we introduce HistoClean; a user-friendly,
graphical user interface that brings together multiple image processing
modules into one easy to use toolkit.
HistoClean is an application that aims to help bridge the knowledge gap
between pathologists, biomedical scientists and computer scientists by
providing transparent image augmentation and pre-processing techniques
which can be applied without prior coding knowledge.
In this study, we utilise HistoClean to pre-process images for a simple
convolutional neural network used to detect stromal maturity, improving
the accuracy of the model at a tile, region of interest, and patient
level. This study demonstrates how HistoClean can be used to improve a
standard deep learning workflow via classical image augmentation and
pre-processing techniques, even with a relatively simple convolutional
neural network architecture. HistoClean is free and open-source and can
be downloaded from the Github repository here:

Abstract = {This article proposes an optical measurement of movement applied to data
from video recordings of facial expressions of emotion. The approach
offers a way to capture motion adapted from the film industry in which
markers placed on the skin of the face can be tracked with a
pattern-matching algorithm. The method records and postprocesses raw
facial movement data (coordinates per frame) of distinctly placed
markers and is intended for use in facial expression research (e.g.,
microexpressions) in laboratory settings. Due to the explicit use of
specifically placed, artificial markers, the procedure offers the
simultaneous measurement of several emotionally relevant markers in a
(psychometrically) objective and artifact-free way, even for facial
regions without natural landmarks (e.g., the cheeks). In addition, the
proposed procedure is fully based on open-source software and is
transparent at every step of data processing. Two worked examples
demonstrate the practicability of the proposed procedure: In Study
1(N=39), the participants were instructed to show the emotions
happiness, sadness, disgust, and anger, and in Study 2 (N=113), they
were asked to present both a neutral face and the emotions happiness,
disgust, and fear. Study 2 involved the simultaneous tracking of 14
markers for approximately 12 min per participant with a time resolution
of 33 ms. The measured facial movements corresponded closely to the
assumptions of established measurement instruments (EMFACS, FACSAID,
Friesen \& Ekman, 1983; Ekman \& Hager, 2002). In addition, the
measurement was found to be very precise with sub-second, sub-pixel, and
sub-millimeter accuracy.},

deliver composite data reflecting the mean values of biomarkers from
cell populations risk losing subpopulation dynamics that reflect the
heterogeneity of the studied biological system. In keeping with this,
traditional approaches are being replaced by, or supported with, more
sophisticated forms of cellular assay developed to allow assessment by
high-content microscopy. These assays potentially generate large numbers
of images of fluorescent biomarkers, which enabled by accompanying
proprietary software packages, allows for multi-parametric measurements
per cell. However, the relatively high capital costs and
overspecialization of many of these devices have prevented their
accessibility to many investigators.
Described here is a universally applicable workflow for the
quantification of multiple fluorescent marker intensities from specific
subcellular regions of individual cells suitable for use with images
from most fluorescent microscopes. Key to this workflow is the
implementation of the freely available Cell Profiler software(1) to
distinguish individual cells in these images, segment them into defined
subcellular regions and deliver fluorescence marker intensity values
specific to these regions. The extraction of individual cell intensity
values from image data is the central purpose of this workflow and will
be illustrated with the analysis of control data from a siRNA screen for
G1 checkpoint regulators in adherent human cells. However, the workflow
presented here can be applied to analysis of data from other means of
cell perturbation (e.g., compound screens) and other forms of
fluorescence based cellular markers and thus should be useful for a wide
range of laboratories.},

Abstract = {Recently, the computing service has been changing from the cloud
computing to the edge one. The edge computing is very important to serve
nearly the IoT devices. In particular, several IoT devices have no-large
scale computer storage. Therefore, the edge servers will be able to
solve the problems of small-scale computer storage. Also, the edge
computing is structured by several open source software. Then, the open
source software updates version-up day by day. The version-upgradation
is the characteristic of open source software. This paper focuses on the
keywords such as the edge computing, deep learning, reliability
assessment, and open source software. We propose the method of
reliability assessment based on deep learning.},

Abstract = {The flow around the ramp embedded in a pressurized tunnel is divided
into the various zones immediately downstream of the ramp, including the
cavity and the main zone of flow above the shear layer. The aeration
coefficient of the flow from the lower surface (inside the
cavity)(beta(lower)) is a function of non-dimensional numbers which
aerator geometry parameters such as cavity length to ramp height
L-c/t(r) is considered as one of the most important parameters.
Therefore, in the present study, OpenFOAM software and RNG k-epsilon

Abstract = {We have released a software named EuroForMix to analyze STR DNA profiles
in a user-friendly graphical user interface. The software implements a
model to explain the allelic peak height on a continuous scale in order
to carry out weight-of-evidence calculations for profiles which could be
from a mixture of contributors. Through a properly parameterized model
we are able to do inference on mixture proportions, the peak height
properties, stutter proportion and degradation. In addition, EuroForMix
includes models for allele drop-out, allele drop-in and sub-population
structure. EuroForMix supports two inference approaches for likelihood
ratio calculations. The first approach uses maximum likelihood
estimation of the unknown parameters. The second approach is Bayesian
based which requires prior distributions to be specified for the
parameters involved. The user may specify any number of known and
unknown contributors in the model, however we find that there is a
practical computing time limit which restricts the model to a maximum of
four unknown contributors.
EuroForMix is the first freely open source, continuous model
(accommodating peak height, stutter, drop-in, drop-out, population
substructure and degradation), to be reported in the literature. It
therefore serves an important purpose to act as an unrestricted platform
to compare different solutions that are available. The implementation of
the continuous model used in the software showed close to identical
results to the R-package DNAmixtures, which requires a HUGIN Expert
license to be used. An additional feature in EuroForMix is the ability
for the user to adapt the Bayesian inference framework by incorporating
their own prior information. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights

Abstract = {Over the past decade, scientific research has attempted to understand
the success and the spread of communities that have been created and
developed thanks to Internet technology. Education studies have also
analysed the importance of these communities in spreading and sharing
knowledge and educational culture has looked to these organizational
forms for inspiration. At the same time, the link between these
experiences and the development of pedagogical models emerging from
cognitive sciences, systemic theory and the new forms of constructivism,
which have generated a fruitful theory/practice circle, has been
reinforced. The aim of this paper is to analyse the particular type of
organizational, communicative and productive context of Open
Communities: Free Software Communities, to understand how they work,
their efficacy and to show their close link with dynamics and relations
of an educational, formative and didactic type. Learning communities can
still learn strategies of communication, organization and socialization
from these communities, as well as the value of motivation and the
importance of freedom and circulation of knowledge in order to build up
efficient communities. We can also gain the understanding that the
success of these communities depends on the fact that they are
educational communities, therefore education studies can convey values,
models and a culture of sharing to other sectors as well, such as the
one taken into consideration: Free Software Communities. The study has
been conducted with a research methodology of the phenomenological type
thanks to a theoretical study and observation of different free software
communities, visiting websites, chats, wiki pages, forums and other
channels of discussion and collaboration.},

Abstract = {The emergence of Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) development model as a
widely adopted paradigm in the software development industry in the
recent few years has developed the interest of researchers towards the
code quality of FOSS projects. Code clones are introduced in the
software system by the adoption of common code reuse practices by FOSS
developers. This has led the clone research community to observe the
effects of code clones on the code quality of FOSS projects. Although
code clones are not always harmful but they might become critical to
large scale and evolving software systems such as FOSS projects.
Research in this paper reveals the importance and need for improving
code quality of FOSS projects by implementing an effective clone
management system integrated in the FOSS development environment. This
paper proposes a clone management framework that ensures effective clone
evolution tracking and visualization in FOSS projects. This framework
will appear as a baseline to initiate the efforts towards improving code
quality by the implementation of a versatile clone management system for
FOSS development.},

Abstract = {This paper describes a new open source implementation of the Precision
Time Protocol (PTP) {[}1] called PTP Ported To Silicon (PPSi) {[}2]. It
was developed to fill in a niche in the free software world for a PTP
daemon that is easily portable to a wide range of architectures and
highly modular to enable protocol extensions - two key requirements of
its driving force, the White Rabbit (WR) Project {[}3] {[}4]. PPSi's
core protocol code is common for all the supported architectures ranging
from a Linux PC to a soft-core processor running in a Field Programmable
Gate Array (FPGA) - a feature minimizing code duplication, easing
debugging, and facilitating new developments. This paper gives an
overview of PPSi's internals describing design choices as well as the
means of achieving portability and extensibility. A detailed example of
a simulator architecture proves the design advantages. With an
increasing number of supported architectures and a wide use in WR
networks, PPSi is becoming an appealing PTP implementation also outside
of the White Rabbit Community.},

Abstract = {This paper describes Ciclope, a free software project designed to solve
the problem of the lack of practical assignments in technical
universities due to scarce resources and to the design of the
educational system. Ciclope offers software and content to replicate the
educational Web labs that the authors have designed, and whose
architecture and work methodology are intended for teachers who want to
create new Web labs. The biggest advantages of these kinds of
laboratories are that users can work through the Internet as if they
were present in the lab, but without space or time restrictions.
Furthermore, teachers can have full control of what students do, since
all operations are registered in a database which helps them to evaluate
the students. Ciclope proposes a modular structure based on software
components that are easy to install, configure, and extend according to
teachers' needs. So far, various Web labs have been built to carry out
practical assignments in astronomy, automatic control, chemistry, image
processing, robotics, and real-time operating systems. The software,
documentation, and content developed in this project are free, under GNU
(a recursive acronym meaning GNU is Not UNIX) licenses, and as in all

the development of multimedia projects, inserted in the free software
technology. The result was generative designs and repetition structures
that generated a pattern, to be later printed on canvas using
permeographic techniques. The article aims to show the processes of
creation in artistic practice, through an innovative workshop for the
exhibition context where it was made. The practice showed how creativity
within an avant-garde environment such as haute cuisine chef Ferran
Adria, must adapt to the changing reality and the development of new
technologies. In every creative process, specific technological skills
are combined with the expressive abilities of the artist. For this
purpose, the open source program Proccesing was used as a creation tool,

Abstract = {Commercial participation continues to grow in open source software (OSS)
projects and novel arrangements appear to emerge in company-dominated
projects and ecosystems. What is the nature of these novel arrangements?
Does volunteers' participation remain critical for these ecosystems?
Despite extensive research on commercial participation in OSS, the exact
nature and extent of company contributions to OSS development, and the
impact of this engagement may have on the volunteer community have not
been clarified. To bridge the gap, we perform an exploratory study of
OpenStack: a large OSS ecosystem with intense commercial participation.
We quantify companies' contributions via the developers that they
provide and the commits made by those developers. We find that companies
made far more contributions than volunteers and the distribution of the
contributions made by different companies is also highly unbalanced. We
observe eight unique contribution models based on companies' commercial
objectives and characterize each model according to three dimensions:
contribution intensity, extent, and focus. Companies providing full
cloud solutions tend to make both intensive (more than other companies)
and extensive (involving a wider variety of projects) contributions.
Usage-oriented companies make extensive but less intense contributions.
Companies driven by particular business needs focus their contributions
on the specific projects addressing these needs. Minor contributors
include community players (e.g., the Linux Foundation) and research
groups. A model relating the number of volunteers to the diversity of
contribution shows a strong positive association between them.},

Abstract = {This paper explores software's pivotal role in the power dynamics of
contemporary capitalism. The author theorizes Free Software as a new
form of property that is infecting capitalism like a virus, challenging
the system of private property central to its dominant logic. Free
Software can be produced by developers working for free in peer
communities or in profit-oriented firms. The author explores the
conditions under which Free Software is produced through peer versus
market-based production, emphasizing the implications for constructing
the Free Software market and the digital commons. The author identifies
actors' motivations, the organizational structure of production, and
financial resources as three factors shaping these conditions. The
author focuses on the case of Ubuntu, a Free Software operating system
that is available free of charge on the Internet. Ubuntu is produced by
Canonical, a Free Software, market-based firm, through an intriguing
combination of market-based and peer production that both embodies and
transforms capitalist practices.},

based on UC-Berkeley's NACHOS. The DORITOS package will be distributed
with DKaffe (a modified version of Kaffe JVM) and a basic system which
allows students to run simple threads.
In this paper, we focus on the practical, hands-on system that allows
students to learn the internals of a Real-time Operating Systems (RTOS).
Throughout the term, assignments require students to use and modify
DORITOS to implement real-time elements as well as to analyze the
performance of implemented algorithms.},

Abstract = {Effectively onboarding newcomers is essential for the success of open
source projects. These projects often provide onboarding guidelines in
their `CONTRIBUTING' files (e.g., CONTRIBUTING.md on GitHub). These
files explain, for example, how to find open tasks, implement solutions,
and submit code for review. However, these files often do not follow a
standard structure, can be too large, and miss barriers commonly found
by newcomers. In this paper, we propose an automated approach to parse
these CONTRIBUTING files and assess how they address onboarding
barriers. We manually classified a sample of files according to a model
of onboarding barriers from the literature, trained a machine learning
classifier that automatically predicts the categories of each paragraph
(precision: 0.655, recall: 0.662), and surveyed developers to
investigate their perspective of the predictions' adequacy (75\% of the
predictions were considered adequate). We found that CONTRIBUTING files
typically do not cover the barriers newcomers face (52\% of the analyzed
projects missed at least 3 out of the 6 barriers faced by newcomers;
84\% missed at least 2). Our analysis also revealed that information
about choosing a task and talking with the community, two of the most
recurrent barriers newcomers face, are neglected in more than 75\% of
the projects. We made available our classifier as an online service that
analyzes the content of a given CONTRIBUTING file. Our approach may help
community builders identify missing information in the project ecosystem
they maintain and newcomers can understand what to expect in
CONTRIBUTING files.},

Volume = {14},
Number = {2},
Pages = {71-80},
Month = {JUL-DEC},
Abstract = {Introduction- In this article proposes the creation of a prototype of
storage of data on Cloud Computing using free software tools, for small
and medium enterprises (SMEs), which will contribute in improving the
storage capacity of information, incorporating to the process a Cloud
Storage tool, which allows to create, save and update the data in a
synchronized way from any geographic location, reducing the risks of
maintaining several versions of a document and losing temporary or
definitive information. In this way it is proposed to show that free
open source tools are low cost and collaborative for small businesses.
Objective- Evaluate the relevance, feasibility and impact of Cloud
Storage tools on free software in order to implement a data storage
prototype to be used by small and medium enterprises, establishing
organizational and decision-making schemes according to their objectives
business.
Methodology- It is based on a spiral method by stages. In the first
stage the model of comparison of free software products Qualification
and Selection of Opensource Software (QSOS) applied to identify the best
Cloud Storage tool. Second stage, the design and implementation of the
prototype was carried out for storage over Cloud Computing. The last
stage, tests and adjustments were made in the validation of said
prototype for its start-up.
Results- Structure of a finished functional prototype for the storage of
data on Cloud Computing through the use of free software tools, aimed at
small and medium enterprises, evidencing its easy handling, control and
decision making in the management of their data and deployment in the
organization becoming a tool that benefits this type of productive
sector.
Conclusions- The construction of data storage systems on Cloud
Computing, based or guided on the achieved prototype, constitutes a low
cost tool in its implementation and maintenance, which contributes to
the sustainability of the solution together with the possibility of
scaling new functions and / or modules, by small and medium-sized
companies, that do not have financial resources for investment in
information technology and connectivity and storage services.},

suitable methods and concepts that would allow complex software systems

could be applied equally to a number of today's most crucial problems
concerning the evolution of complex commercial software systems. In this
paper, the authors state and explain some of these principles from the
perspective of experienced open source developers, and give the
rationale as to why the highly dynamic ``free software development
process{''}, as a whole, is entangled with constantly growing code bases
and changing project sizes, and how it deals with these successfully.},

Abstract = {Past software engineering literature has firmly established that
software architectures and the associated code decay over time.
Architectural decay is, potentially, a major issue in Free/Libre/Open
Source Software (FLOSS) projects, since developers sporadically joining
FLOSS projects do not always have a clear understanding of the
underlying architecture, and may break the overall conceptual structure
by several small changes to the code base.
This paper investigates whether the structure of a FLOSS system and its
decay can also be influenced by the repository in which it is retained:
specifically, two FLOSS repositories are studied to understand whether
the complexity of the software structure in the sampled projects is
comparable, or one repository hosts more complex systems than the other
It is also studied whether the effort to counteract this complexity is
dependent on the repository, and the governance it gives to the hosted
projects.
The results of the paper are two-fold: on one side, it is shown that the
repository hosting larger and more active projects presents more complex
structures. On the other side, these larger and more complex systems
benefit from more anti-regressive work to reduce this complexity.},

Abstract = {Cloud computing and open source are two disruptive innovations. Both
deeply modify the way the computer resources are made available and
monetized. They evolve between competition (e.g. open source software
for desktop versus SaaS applications) and complementarity (e.g. cloud
solutions based on open source components or cloud applications
published under open source license). PaaSage is an open source
integrated platform to support both design and deployment of cloud
applications. The PaaSage consortium decided to publish the source code
as open source. It needed a process for the open source license
selection. Open source licensing scheme born before the development of
cloud computing and evolved with the creation of new open source
licenses suitable for SaaS applications. The license is a part of
project governance and strongly influences the life of the project. In
the context of the PaaSage European project, the issue of the open
source license selection for cloud computing software has been
addressed. The first section of the paper describes the state of the art
about open source licenses including the known issues, a generic
license-selection scheme and the automated source code analysis
practices. The second section studies the common choices of licenses in
cloud computing projects. The third section proposes a FLOSS
license-selection process for cloud computing project following five
steps: (1) inventoring software components, (2) selecting open source
license, (3) approving license selection (vote), (4) spreading practical
details and (5) monitoring source code. The fourth section describes the
PaaSage use case. The last section consists in a discussion of the
results.},

organization. These models describe the consequences of adopting one
such strategy or another: which are the business goals that are
supported, which are the resources that emerge, etc. To this aim, we
first enumerate the main existing OSS adoption strategies, next we
formulate an ontology that comprises the activities and resources that
characterise these strategies, then based on the experience of 5
industrial partners of the RISCOSS EU-funded project, we explore how
these elements are managed in each strategy and formulate the
corresponding model using the i{*} framework.},

Title = {Using open-source software and digital imagery to efficiently and
objectively quantify cover density of an invasive alien plant species},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {266},
Month = {JUL 15},
Abstract = {The most commonly used method for measuring vegetation cover is visual
estimation, which is highly subjective, potentially leading to
measurement errors. This poses serious implications to the assessment
and continued management of plant species cover, for example in the
control of invasive plant species. Morphological analysis of digital
imagery has, to date, been primarily applied in the classification of
landscape features. Our novel application of morphological image
analysis provides an objective method for detection and accurate cover
assessment of an invasive alien plant species (IAS), giving reduced
measurement errors when compared to visual estimation. Importantly, this
method is entirely based on free software. Guidos Toolbox is a
collection of generic raster image processing routines, including
Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA), which classifies and
quantifies features according to shape. MSPA was employed in this study
to detect and quantify cover of invasive Petasites pyrenaicus (Winter
heliotrope) in digital images of 1 m x 1 m plots. Its efficacy was
compared to that of two other methods- GIS Digitisation (used as an
accurate baseline) and Visual Estimation (standard method). We tested
the limit of MSPA usability on images of varying complexity, i.e.
``simple{''}, intermediate{''} or ``complex{''}, depending on
presence/absence of other vascular plant species and the species
richness of plot. Our results show good agreement between all three
methods. MSPA measurement of P. pyrenaicus cover was most closely
aligned with the GIS Digitisation (concordance correlation coefficients
of 0.966). Visual Estimation was less closely aligned with GIS
Digitisation (concordance correlation coefficients of 0.888). However,
image complexity resulted in differing levels of agreement; with the
closest agreement being achieved between MSPA and GIS Digitisation when
used on images of lower and higher complexity. MSPA consistently
provides higher accuracy and precision for P. pyrenaicus cover
measurement than the standard Visual Estimation method. Our methodology
is applicable to a range of focal vegetation species, both herbaceous
and graminoid. Future application of MSPA for larger-scale surveying and
monitoring via remote sensing is discussed, potentially reducing
resource demands and increasing cover measurement consistency and
accuracy. We recommend this method forms part of vegetation management
toolkits for not only environmental managers, but for anyone concerned
with plant cover assessment, from agricultural systems to sustainable
resource use.},

Abstract = {We introduce a free and open-source software package (PES-Learn) which
largely automates the process of producing high-quality machine learning
models of molecular potential energy surfaces (PESs). PES-Learn
incorporates a generalized framework for producing grid points across a
PES that is compatible with most electronic structure theory software.
The newly generated or externally supplied PES data can then be used to
train and optimize neural network or Gaussian process models in a
completely automated fashion. Robust hyperparameter optimization schemes
designed specifically for molecular PES applications are implemented to
ensure that the best possible model for the data set is fit with high
quality. The performance of PES-Learn toward fitting a few semiglobal
PESs from the literature is evaluated. We also demonstrate the use of
PES-Learn machine learning models in carrying out high-level vibrational
configuration interaction computations on water and formaldehyde.},

Abstract = {Open source software systems are important components of many business
software applications. Field defect predictions for open source
soft-ware systems may allow organizations to make informed decisions
regarding open source software components. In this paper, we remotely
measure and analyze predictors (metrics available before release) mined
from established data sources (the code repository and the request
tracking system) as well as a novel source of data (mailing list
archives) for nine releases of OpenBSD. First, we attempt to predict
field defects by extending a software reliability model fitted to
development defects. We find this approach to be infeasible, which
motivates examining metrics-based field defect prediction. Then, we
evaluate 139 predictors using established statistical methods: Kendall's
rank correlation, Pearson's rank correlation, and forward AIC model
selection. The metrics we collect include product metrics, development
metrics, deployment and usage metrics, and software and hardware
configurations metrics. We find the number of messages to the technical
discussion mailing list during the development period (a deployment and
usage metric captured from mailing list archives) to be the best
predictor of field defects. Our work identifies predictors of field
defects in commonly available data sources for open source software
systems and is a step towards metrics-based field defect prediction for
quantitatively-based decision making regarding open source software
components.},

Title = {The use and role of open source software applications in public and
not-for-profit hospitals in the United States},
Journal = {HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT REVIEW},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {38},
Number = {4},
Pages = {361-370},
Month = {OCT-DEC},
Abstract = {Background: The potential cost savings and customizability of open
source software (OSS) may be particularly attractive for hospitals.
However, numerous health-care-specific OSS applications exist, the
adoption of OSS health information technology (HIT) applications is not
widespread in the United States.
Purpose: This disconnect between the availability of promising software
and low adoption raises the basic question: If OSS HIT is so
advantageous, why are more health care organizations not using it?
Methodology: We interviewed the chief information officer, or equivalent
position, at 17 not-for-profit and public hospitals across the United
States. Through targeted recruitment, our sample included nine hospitals
using OSS HIT and eight hospitals not using OSS HIT. The open-ended
interview questions were guided by domains included in the fit-viability
theory, an organizational-level innovation adoption framework, and those
suggested by a review of the literature. Transcripts were analyzed using
an inductive and comparative approach, which involved an open coding for
relevant themes.
Findings: Interviews described the state of OSS use in hospitals.
Specifically, general OSS applications were widely used by IT
professionals. In addition, hospitals using OSS HIT still relied heavily
on vendor support. In terms of why decisions arose to use OSS HIT,
several hospitals using OSS HIT noted the cost advantages. In contrast,
hospitals avoiding OSS HIT were clear, OSS as a class did not fit with
clinical work and posed too much risk.
Practice Implications: Perceptions of OSS HIT ranged from enthusiastic
embracement to resigned adoption, to refusal, to abandonment. Some
organizations were achieving success with their OSS HIT choices, but
they still relied on vendors for significant support. The decision to
adopt OSS HIT was not uniform but contingent upon views of the risk
posed by the technology, economic factors, and the hospital's existing
capabilities.},

Title = {An informatics model for guiding assembly of telemicrobiology
workstations for malaria collaborative diagnostics using commodity
products and open-source software},
Journal = {MALARIA JOURNAL},
Year = {2009},
Volume = {8},
Month = {JUL 17},
Abstract = {Background: Deficits in clinical microbiology infrastructure exacerbate
global infectious disease burdens. This paper examines how commodity
computation, communication, and measurement products combined with
open-source analysis and communication applications can be incorporated
into laboratory medicine microbiology protocols. Those commodity
components are all now sourceable globally. An informatics model is
presented for guiding the use of low-cost commodity components and free
software in the assembly of clinically useful and usable
telemicrobiology workstations.
Methods: The model incorporates two general principles: 1) collaborative
diagnostics, where free and open communication and networking
applications are used to link distributed collaborators for reciprocal
assistance in organizing and interpreting digital diagnostic data; and
2) commodity engineering, which leverages globally available consumer
electronics and open-source informatics applications, to build generic
open systems that measure needed information in ways substantially
equivalent to more complex proprietary systems. Routine microscopic
examination of Giemsa and fluorescently stained blood smears for
diagnosing malaria is used as an example to validate the model.
Results: The model is used as a constraint-based guide for the design,
assembly, and testing of a functioning, open, and commoditized
telemicroscopy system that supports distributed acquisition,
exploration, analysis, interpretation, and reporting of digital
microscopy images of stained malarial blood smears while also supporting
remote diagnostic tracking, quality assessment and diagnostic process
development.
Conclusion: The open telemicroscopy workstation design and use-process
described here can address clinical microbiology infrastructure deficits
in an economically sound and sustainable manner. It can boost capacity
to deal with comprehensive measurement of disease and care outcomes in
individuals and groups in a distributed and collaborative fashion. The
workstation enables local control over the creation and use of
diagnostic data, while allowing for remote collaborative support of
diagnostic data interpretation and tracking. It can enable global
pooling of malaria disease information and the development of open,
participatory, and adaptable laboratory medicine practices. The
informatic model highlights how the larger issue of access to generic
commoditized measurement, information processing, and communication
technology in both high-and low-income countries can enable diagnostic
services that are much less expensive, but substantially equivalent to
those currently in use in high-income countries.},

Abstract = {Knowledge sharing is the key factor that influences the performance of
open source software (OSS) projects, which are the representative cases
of distributed innovation. This paper aims to explore the mechanism of
knowledge sharing in OSS projects from the perspective of developers in
China. A quantitative method with the analysis of 403 valid
questionnaires is adopted. A series of hypotheses about how distributed
innovation (independent variables) influences knowledge sharing
(mediating variable) and then affects the performance of OSS projects
(dependent variable) are tested and approved. On the one side, we argue
that developers will actively affect knowledge sharing in terms of
participative motivation, social network and organisational culture. On
the other hand, users may also affect the knowledge sharing when
considering innovation willingness and capacity. It is interesting to
find that social network is the most important factor in Chinese cases.
It is strongly recommended to strengthen the collaboration between
software companies and OSS communities.},

wave solver for real-time interactive simulation and visualization},
Journal = {COMPUTER PHYSICS COMMUNICATIONS},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {217},
Pages = {117-127},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {In this paper, we introduce an interactive coastal wave simulation and
visualization software, called Celeris. Celeris is an open source
software which needs minimum preparation to run on a Windows machine.
The software solves the extended Boussinesq equations using a hybrid
finite volume finite difference method and supports moving shoreline
boundaries. The simulation and visualization are performed on the GPU
using Direct3D libraries, which enables the software to run faster than
real-time. Celeris provides a first-of-its-kind interactive modeling
platform for coastal wave applications and it supports simultaneous
visualization with both photorealistic and colormapped rendering
capabilities. We validate our software through comparison with three
standard benchmarks for non-breaking and breaking waves.
Program summary
Program title: Celeris
Program Files doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/5djwvf5x5k.1
Licensing provisions: GNU General Public License 3 (GPL)
Programming language: C++, HLSL
Nature of problem: Boussinesq-type models provide the research-level
accuracy needed for modeling wave propagation in coastal zones. However
the current models, both commercial and open source, do not provide
means for real-time computation, nor provide model interactivity and
concurrent visualization. In order to achieve a real-time simulation
speed in current parallelized models, dozens to hundreds of CPU cores
are needed. Celeris is an interactive software which provides faster
than real-time simulation and visualization speed on an average user
laptop. The novelty of this software is its interactive environment,
which allows the user to modify the model and field parameters as the
model is running, and to see the effect of these changes immediately.
Solution method: A hybrid finite volume-finite difference scheme is used
to solve the extended Boussinesq equations. The solver is parallelized
using shader programming with Direct3D libraries. Visualization is also
performed with the same libraries. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights

Abstract = {Ensemble Kalman filter methods have been successfully applied for data
assimilation and parameter estimation through inverse modeling in
various scientific fields. We have developed a new generic software
package for the solution of inverse problems implementing the Ensemble
Smoother with Multiple Data Assimilation (genES-MDA). It is an
open-source, platform-independent Python-based program. Its aim is to
facilitate the management and configuration of the ES-MDA through
several programming tools that help in the preparation of the different
steps of ES-MDA. genES-MDA has a flexible workflow that can be easily
adapted for the implementation of different variants of the ensemble
Kalman filter and for the solution of generic inverse problems. This
paper presents a description of the package and some application
examples. genES-MDA has been tested in three synthetic case studies: the
solution of the reverse flow routing for the estimation of the inflow
hydrograph to a river reach using observed water levels and a calibrated
forward model of the river system, the identification of a hydraulic
conductivity field using piezometric observations and a known forward
flow model, and the estimation of the release history of a contaminant
spill in an aquifer from measured concentration data and a known flow
and transport model. The results of all these tests have demonstrated
the flexibility of genES-MDA and its capabilities to efficiently solve
different types of inverse problems.},

ciliary morphology and fluorescence in 2D, 3D, and 4D images},
Journal = {EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL E},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {44},
Number = {2},
Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {Cilia are hair-like membrane protrusions that emanate from the surface
of most vertebrate cells and are classified into motile and primary
cilia. Motile cilia move fluid flow or propel cells, while also fulfill
sensory functions. Primary cilia are immotile and act as a cellular
antenna, translating environmental cues into cellular responses. Ciliary
dysfunction leads to severe diseases, commonly termed ciliopathies. The
molecular details underlying ciliopathies and ciliary function are,
however, not well understood. Since cilia are small subcellular
compartments, imaging-based approaches have been used to study them.
However, tools to comprehensively analyze images are lacking. Automatic
analysis approaches require commercial software and are limited to 2D
analysis and only a few parameters. The widely used manual analysis
approaches are time consuming, user-biased, and difficult to compare.
Here, we present CiliaQ, a package of open-source, freely available, and
easy-to-use ImageJ plugins. CiliaQ allows high-throughput analysis of 2D
and 3D, static or time-lapse images from fluorescence microscopy of
cilia in cell culture or tissues, and outputs a comprehensive list of
parameters for ciliary morphology, length, bending, orientation, and
fluorescence intensity, making it broadly applicable. We envision CiliaQ
as a resource and platform for reproducible and comprehensive analysis
of ciliary function in health and disease.},

Title = {Herding cats in a FOSS ecosystem: a tale of communication and
coordination for release management},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF INTERNET SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {8},
Month = {AUG 30},
Abstract = {Release management in large-scale software development projects requires
significant communication and coordination. It is particularly
challenging in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) ecosystems, in which
hundreds of loosely connected developers and their projects are
coordinated to release software to a schedule. To better understand this
process and its challenges, we analyzed over two and half years of
communication in the GNOME ecosystem and studied developers'
interactions. Through a case study, we cataloged communication channels,
determined the main channel from which we categorized high level
communication and coordination activities spanning five releases, and
triangulated our results by interviewing ten key developers. We found
that a release schedule, influence (instead of direct control), and
diversity are the main factors that positively impact the release
process in the GNOME ecosystem. We report a set of lessons learned that
encapsulates our understanding of how the Release Management process
function in a FOSS ecosystem, we learned that: (1) ensure that the
release team follows the main communication channels used by developers,
(2) provide a common place for coordination for an ecosystem, (3)
consider including both good technical and social skills in a release
team, (4) aim for a diverse release team, (5) based on lack of power,
lobbying and consensus based management must be followed, (6) help the
release team in the coordination process with a well defined schedule,
and (7) release team work is different from regular software work. Our
results can help organizations build better large-scale teams and show
that research focused on individual projects might miss important parts
of the picture.},

Abstract = {The open source software systems are always evolving with the additions
of new features, bug fixes and collaboration of many developers often
around the world. The modularity of the system metrics help to better
understand the characteristics of the system and guarantee the quality

software metrics, in particular complexity and coupling, with the
evolution of the number of bug fixes, additions and features

very important role in the OSS(Operation Support System) when telco

Abstract = {Keeping open-source software (OSS) up to date is one potential solution
to prevent known vulnerabilities. However, it requires frequent and
costly testing and may introduce compatibility issues. Consequently,
developers often choose to backport security patches to the vulnerable
versions instead. Manual backporting is time-consuming, especially for
large OSS such as the Linux kernel. Therefore, automating this process
is urgently needed to save considerable time. Existing automated
approaches for backporting patches involve either automatic patch
generation or automatic patch migration. However, these methods are
often ineffective and error-prone since they failed to locate the
precise patch locations or generate the correct patch, operating only on
the syntactic level.
In this paper, we propose a patch type-sensitive approach to
automatically backport OSS security patches, guided by the patch type
and patch semantics. Specifically, our approach identifies patch
locations with the aid of program dependency graph-based matching at the
semantic level. It further applies fine-grained patch migration and
fine-tuning based on patch types. We have implemented our approach in a
tool named TSBPORT and evaluated it on a large-scale dataset consisting
of 1,815 pairs of real-world security patches for the Linux kernel. The
evaluation results show that TSBPORT successfully backported 1,589
(87.59\%) patches, out of which 587 (32.34\%) could not be backported by
any state-of-the-art approaches, significantly outperforming
state-of-the-art approaches. In addition, experiments also show that
TSBPORT can be generalized to backport patches in other OSS projects
with a success rate of 88.18\%.},

Historically, society's response to a problem is based on funding
availability, current threat, and public outcry. Achieving this is
largely dependent on the knowledge of the factors that are resulting in
compromised water sources. These factors are constantly changing as
novel contaminants are introduced into surface water sources. As we are
in the information age, the interest in contaminants of emerging concern
(CEC) is gaining ground. Whilst research is being conducted to identify
contaminants in South African water sources, the research outputs and
available information is not collated and presented to the science
community and stakeholders in readily available formats and platforms.
Current research outcomes need to be made known to regulators in order
to develop environmental laws. By using fourth industrial revolution
technology, we were able to collate available data in literature and

Abstract = {There is an urgent need to increase the capacity of developing countries
to take part in the study and monitoring of their environments through
remote sensing and space based Earth observation technologies. The Open
Data Cube (ODC) provides a mechanism for efficient storage and a
powerful framework for processing and analyzing satellite data. While
this is ideal for scientific research, the expansive feature space can
also be daunting for end-users and decision-makers who simply require a
solution which provides easy exploration, analysis, and visualization of
Analysis Ready Data (ARD). Utilizing innovative web design and a modular
architecture, the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) has
created a web-based user interface (UI) which harnesses the power of the
ODC yet provides a simple and familiar user experience: the CEOS Data
Cube (CDC). This paper presents an overview of the CDC architecture and
the salient features of the UI. In order to provide adaptability,
flexibility, scalability, and robustness, we leverage widely-adopted and
well-supported technologies such as the Django web framework and the AWS
Cloud platform. The fully-customizable source code of the UI is
available at our public repository. Interested parties can download the

Abstract = {Milkweed, a perennial plant that can adapt to adverse soil conditions,
is being developed as an alternative crop. Fiber characterization and
potential market identification are critical to its development. The
most promising commercial use for milkweed floss is as a loose fill for
jackets and comforters. The purpose of this research was to evaluate
milkweed floss as an insulative fill material and to compare its
performance to other insulators. Seven identical jackets were
constructed using different fill materials matched on a per unit weight
basis. The insulation (clo) values for the jackets were measured using
a standing, heated manikin in an environmental chamber. Thickness
(loft), compression, resiliency, and hand were also measured. Several
performance characteristics were evaluated before and after cleaning.
The results show that milkweed floss blended with down has insulative
properties similar to down. Down is superior to milkweed floss in
loftiness and compressibility, which influence product performance, but
the properties of milkweed floss can be enhanced by blending with down.},

be challenging. Finding an appropriate task to start with is a common

exacerbate problems with system integrity. Poorly designed systems are
difficult to maintain and extend. Users can often directly experience
these issues as instabilities in system behavior. Thus code quality is a
key issue for users and contributors in FOSS. We present a case study on
the interactions between code quality and contributor experience in the

Abstract = {Developers in complex, self-organized open-source projects often work on
many different files, and over time switch focus between them. Shifting
focus can have impact on the software quality and productivity, and is
thus an important topic of investigation. In this paper, we study focus
shifting patterns (FSPs) of developers by comparing trace data from a
dozen open source software (OSS) projects of their longitudinal commit
activities and file dependencies from the projects call graphs. Using
information theoretic measures of network structure, we find that fairly
complex focus-shifting patterns emerge, and FSPs in the same project are
more similar to each other. We show that developers tend to shift focus
along with, rather than away from, software dependency links described
by the call graphs. This tendency becomes weaker as either the interval
between successive commits, or the organizational distance between
committed files (i.e. directory distance), gets larger. Interestingly,
this tendency appears stronger with more productive developers.
We hope our study will initiate interest in further understanding of
FSPs, which can ultimately help to (1) improve current recommender
systems to predict the next focus of developers, and (2) provide insight
into better call graph design, so as to facilitate developers' work.},

Shape Reconstruction},
Journal = {MICROMACHINES},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {14},

Month = {APR},
Abstract = {To improve the accuracy of deformation perception and shape
reconstruction of flexible thin-walled structures, this paper proposes a
method based on the combination of FOSS (fiber optic sensor system) and
machine learning. In this method, the sample collection of strain
measurement and deformation change at each measuring point of the
flexible thin-walled structure was completed by ANSYS finite element
analysis. The outliers were removed by the OCSVM (one-class support
vector machine) model, and the unique mapping relationship between the
strain value and the deformation variables (three directions of x-, y-,
and z-axis) at each point was completed by a neural-network model. The
test results show that the maximum error of the measuring point in the
direction of the three coordinate axes: the x-axis is 2.01\%, the y-axis
is 29.49\%, and the z-axis is 15.52\%. The error of the coordinates in
the y and z directions was large, and the deformation variables were
small, the reconstructed shape had good consistency with the deformation
state of the specimen under the existing test environment. This method
provides a new idea with high accuracy for real-time monitoring and
shape reconstruction of flexible thin-walled structures such as wings,
helicopter blades, and solar panels.},

Year = {2015},

Month = {SEP},
Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) has become a strategic asset for a number of
reasons, such as short time-to-market software delivery, reduced
development and maintenance costs, and its customization capabilities.
Therefore, organizations are increasingly becoming OSS adopters, either
as a result of a strategic decision or because it is almost unavoidable
nowadays, given the fact that most commercial software also relies at
some extent in OSS infrastructure. The way in which organizations adopt
OSS affects and shapes their businesses. Therefore, knowing the impact
of different OSS adoption strategies in the context of an organization
may help improving the processes undertaken inside this organization and
ultimately pave the road to strategic moves. In this paper, we propose
to model OSS adoption strategies using a goal-oriented notation, in
which different actors state their objectives and dependencies on each
other. These models describe the consequences of adopting one such
strategy or another: which are the strategic and operational goals that
are supported, which are the resources that emerge, etc. The models rely
on an OSS ontology, built upon a systematic literature review, which
comprises the activities and resources that characterize these
strategies. Different OSS adoption strategy models arrange these
ontology elements in diverse ways. In order to assess which is the OSS
adoption strategy that better fits the organization needs, the notion of
model coverage is introduced, which allows to measure the degree of
concordance among every strategy with the model of the organization by
comparing the respective models. The approach is illustrated with an
example of application in a big telecommunications company. (C) 2015

Abstract = {Academic institutions and research organisations are fast becoming very
corporate in the design and setup of the workspace. There is an
ever-present need for readily available information and sophisticated
means of communication. As a result, information and communication
technologies are being deployed for application in various fields of
endeavour some of which include virtual offices. A virtual office is
essentially a simulated corporate environment that gives subscribers
access to collaborative work related features, which act as a means of
improving the way work is carried out in an organisation. Several
organisations opt for the software services rendered by virtual offices
because of their cost effectiveness and tendency to boost the collective
productivity of these organisations. For reasons as such, the existence
of virtual office software suites have become rampant, but the
availability of its services are at a cost. This paper reports the
design and implementation of an Educational Virtual Office using Free
and Open-Source Software (FOSS) to relieve corporate organisations of
the costly burdens of existing proprietary virtual office software.
Tools used in achieving this feat are Drupal Web Content Management
System (WCMS), readily available FOSS and a couple of other freeware,
intelligently integrated to form a composite suite.
The developed educational virtual office suite was deployed in the
Department of Electrical and Information Engineering of Covenant
University. A usability (user satisfaction) test was conducted. Analysis
of the test results showed that questions related to user satisfaction
scored more ``Strongly Agree{''} and ``Agree{''} points than
``Disagree{''} and ``Strongly Disagree{''}. This is a pointer to the
fact that features such as the GUI of the web application and its
navigation proved to have little or no challenges as at when the tests
were carried out. Deployment of the developed educational virtual office
suite has the significant advantage of low cost in comparison with
proprietary virtual office suites with similar functionality. The fact
that the suite was developed entirely using FOSS gives it all the
attendant advantages that accrue from the employment of same from the
system design bottom-Up. Such advantages as easy access to source code,
which engenders easy upgrade of the component parts, come naturally.},

Abstract = {Free and open source software (FOSS) movement essentially arises like
answer to the evolution occurred in the market from the software,
characterized by the closing of the source code. Furthermore, some FOSS
characteristics, such as (1) the advance of this movement and (2) the
attractiveness that contributes the voluntary and cooperative work, have
increased the interest of the users towards free software.
Traditionally, research in FOSS has focused on identifying individual
personal motives for participating in the development of a FOSS project,
analyzing specific FOSS solutions, or the FOSS movement itself.
Nevertheless, the advantages of the FOSS for users and the effect of the
demographic dimensions on user acceptance for FOSS have been two
research topics with little attention. Specifically, this paper's aim is
to focus on the influence of the user experience with FOSS the FOSS
acceptance. Based on the literature, user experience is an essential
demographic dimension for explaining the Information Systems acceptance.
With this purpose, the authors have developed a research model based on
the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM).},

Abstract = {The Internet of things ( IoT) has attracted a great deal of research and
industry attention recently and is envisaged to support diverse emerging
domains including smart cities, health informatics, and smart sensory
platforms. Operating system (OS) support for IoT plays a pivotal role in
developing scalable and interoperable applications that are reliable and
efficient. IoT is implemented by both high-end and low-end devices that
require OSs. Recently, the authors have witnessed a diversity of OSs
emerging into the IoT environment to facilitate IoT deployments and
developments. In this study, they present a comprehensive overview of
the common and existing open-source OSs for IoT. Each OS is described in
detail based on a set of designing and developmental aspects that they
established. These aspects include architecture and kernel, programming
model, scheduling, memory management, networking protocols support,
simulator support, security, power consumption, and support for
multimedia. They present a taxonomy of the current IoT open-source OSs.
The objective of this survey is to provide a well structured guide to
developers and researchers to determine the most appropriate OS for each
specific IoT devices/applications based on their functional and
non-functional requirements. They remark that this is the first such
tutorial style paper on IoT OSs.},

Abstract = {With the vast development of various technologies, learning today is no
longer confined to classrooms with lecture delivery as the only method
of conveying knowledge, rather, an electronic means of learning has
continued to evolve. Electronic learning (e-Learning), which facilitates
education using communications networks, has made learning possible from
anywhere at anytime using the Internet, wide area networks or local area
networks. Notably, e-Learning applications which have now become central
to the learning process may be developed using proprietary programming
tools and the process of acquiring and using them to develop large
software application is not only complex but require a huge sum of
money. A viable alternative is to utilize the open source software
platform that allows software engineers and institutions the right to
reuse, study, distribute and localize to satisfy user's requirements.
This paper provides an overview of e-Learning and the open source domain
as well as discusses how open source can be used to speedily realizes
the development of an e-Learning application in a web environment using
an adaptive process. Specifically, the authors described their
preliminary experiment of implementing an open source e-Learning
platform by adapting free PHP source code and MySQL database to suit an
electronic class bulletin board.},

positions projects along dimensions of professor involvement,
responsibility for project hosting/management, mode of student knowledge

it broadly captures trade-offs that exist between the level of
institutional resources used and the level of student independence
required. It is anticipated this framework and the discussion that it
organizes will be useful to faculty a) in evaluating the appropriateness

Abstract = {This paper proposes the identification of patterns of behaviour of open

network analysis (SNA) features. OSS communities can be modelled as a
social network in which nodes represent the community members and arcs
represent the social interactions among them, and factor analysis is
able to provide the factors that explain the latent patterns of
behaviour. Due to the complexity of the problem and the high number of
SNA features that can be extracted, this paper proposes a genetic search
of an optimum subset of indicators leading to a group of latent patterns
of behaviour maximizing the explained data variance and the
interpretation of factors. Obtained results illustrate the feasibility
of the proposed framework to extract relevant information from a large

Abstract = {Automation systems must primarily be deterministic and reliable,
especially in safety-critical environments. With recent trends such as
mass customization or Industry 4.0, there is an increasing need for
automation systems to be dynamic. Changing parts of the software of
today's automation systems, however, typically requires rebooting the
controller, which makes software updates a complex and costly endeavor
often despised by operators.
This article presents an approach to updating the software of automation
systems at runtime without disrupting the system's operation. This is
achieved with a combination of a component-based architecture, cyclic
application execution, and a state transfer mechanism between the
original and the updated version of a component. We validate our
solution with a case study in which we update the control algorithm of a
magnetic levitation device running at cycles of 1 kHz without dropping
the ball.},

Abstract = {In multiple research fields such as astronomy, bio-informatics,

increasingly turning to e-science and specifically scientific workflows
as a way of improving, broadening, hastening and sharing their results.
Enhanced collaboration, ad hoc access to tools, data and
high-performance processing facilities are some of the gains to be made.
Scientific workflows are concerned with, amongst others, supporting the
repeatability and provenance of experiments. In context of three sets of
research (wildfire research, flood modelling and the linking of disease
outbreaks to multi-scale environmental conditions), we describe our
efforts to provide geospatial capability for scientific workflow
software environments to support researchers in exploring, integrating
and visualising earth observation and geographic data in conjunction
with other research data. We note that functionalities for data ingest
(raster and vector), data transformation (reprojection and
simplification), data export and spatial overlay operations commonly are
required. We find a relative lack of support for geospatial data,
services and these functions within several Free and Open Source
Software (FOSS) scientific workflow packages. Furthermore, we highlight
some software development and data encoding challenges faced when
utilising various FOSS geospatial libraries within these scientific
workflow environments. Finally, we offer suggestions for improving the
integration of geospatial data as well as processing and analysis
software tools into such environments.},

Abstract = {This paper analyses the phenomenon of free and open source software
(FOSS) in the light of Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello's The new spirit
of capitalism. It argues that collaborative FOSS production by volunteer
software developers is a species of critical social practice in
Boltanski and Chiapello's sense: rooted in resistance to capitalist
social relations, and yet also a source of values that justify the new
routes to profitability associated with contemporary network capitalism.
Advanced via collective projects that are sustained by hacker norms and
privately legislated copyleft' law, the FOSS ethos is apparently
antithetical to private property-based accumulation. Yet it can be shown
to embody the new spirit of capitalism' in its most distilled form;
moreover FOSS developers have instituted new forms of property and new
modes of profit creation around software that are in the process of
being adapted for use in other economic sectors. Meanwhile, the private
law constraints on profit-seeking that have emerged from the FOSS
movement are counteracting some of the social pathologies that accompany
network capitalism only to consolidate others. The paper concludes by

Abstract = {Over the globe, efforts are being made to collect data and develop an
adequate water resource information system for optimising its use. India
is the largest consumer of water, with an estimated usage of around 300
cubic kilometers per year. Punjab, a north-western state of India, is an
example of severe crises aquifer depletion due to unconstrained
consumption of groundwater, leading to degradation of its quantity as
well as quality. Thus it is of great importance to compile up-to-date
information about the water requirement for its appropriate and
sustainable use. Remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS)
are the technologies that can provide efficient and effective
information system to tackle the water quality \& water supply planning
parameters. Thus, under the present study, a web-enabled water resource
information system has been developed in the GIS environment for the SAS
(Sahibzada Ajit Singh) Nagar and Patiala districts of Punjab by using
the open source software MS4W and pmapper. This system provides digital
information of natural, such as drainage, and man-made features like
roads, canals, and tube wells with their location and so on, and also
provide information related to water level, water quality of wells, and
well depth for the study area. Such an information system can be very
helpful for the administrators and can serve as a decision support
system for planners and policy makers so that the areas where problems
related to water quality can be identified and focused upon. The system
can provide an effective and meaningful direction for the planning and
development of both districts.},

Abstract = {Although Europe has been growing together for the past decades,
cross-border information platforms on environmental issues are still
scarce. With regard to the establishment of a web-mapping tool on
airborne particulate matter (PM) concentration for the Euregio
Meuse-Rhine located in the border region of Belgium, Germany and the
Netherlands, this article describes the research on methodical and
technical backgrounds implementing such a platform. An open-source
solution was selected for presenting the data in a Web GIS

for data handling (Python), data management (PostgreSQL),
geo-statistical modelling (Octave), geoprocessing (GRASS GIS/GDAL) and
web mapping (MapServer). The multilingual, made-to-order online platform
provides access to near-real time data on PM concentration as well as
additional background information. In an open data section, commented
configuration files for the Web GIS client are being made available for
download. Furthermore, all geodata generated by the project is being
published under public domain and can be retrieved in various formats or

Abstract = {Governance has been highlighted as a key factor in the success of an
Open Source Software (OSS) project. It is generally seen that in a mixed
meritocracy and autocracy governance model, the decision-making (DM)
responsibility regarding what features are included in the OSS is shared
among members from select roles; prominently the project leader.
However, less examination has been made whether members from these roles
are also prominent in DM discussions and how decisions are made, to show
they play an integral role in the success of the project. We believe
that to establish their influence, it is necessary to examine not only
discussions of proposals in which the project leader makes the
decisions, but also those where others make the decisions. Therefore, in
this study, we examine the prominence of members performing different
roles in: (i) making decisions, (ii) performing certain social roles in
DM discussions (e.g., discussion starters), (iii) contributing to the
OSS development social network through DM discussions, and (iv) how
decisions are made under both scenarios. We examine these aspects in the
evolution of the well-known Python project. We carried out a data-driven
longitudinal study of their email communication spanning 20 years,
comprising about 1.5 million emails. These emails contain decisions for
466 Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) that document the language's
evolution. Our findings make the influence of different roles
transparent to future (new) members, other stakeholders, and more
broadly, to the OSS research community.},

international effort against intellectual monopoly, and the software
industry could be where to start. On one hand, China should take further
measures to promote the development of free/open source software. On the
other hand, China needs to scrutinize and reform relevant economic and

strengthening antitrust enforcement against software monopoly and taking
a tough stance against software patents in international community.},

Title = {Rapid Analysis of Diagnostic and Antimicrobial Patterns in R (RadaR):
Interactive Open-Source Software App for Infection Management and
Antimicrobial Stewardship},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF MEDICAL INTERNET RESEARCH},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {21},
Number = {6},
Month = {JUN 11},
Abstract = {Background: Analyzing process and outcome measures for all patients
diagnosed with an infection in a hospital, including those suspected of
having an infection, requires not only processing of large datasets but
also accounting for numerous patient parameters and guidelines.
Substantial technical expertise is required to conduct such rapid,
reproducible, and adaptable analyses; however, such analyses can yield
valuable insights for infection management and antimicrobial stewardship
(AMS) teams.
Objective: The aim of this study was to present the design, development,
and testing of RadaR (Rapid analysis of diagnostic and antimicrobial
patterns in R), a software app for infection management, and to
ascertain whether RadaR can facilitate user-friendly, intuitive, and
interactive analyses of large datasets in the absence of prior in-depth
software or programming knowledge.
Methods: RadaR was built in the open-source programming language R,
using Shiny, an additional package to implement Web-app frameworks in R.
It was developed in the context of a 1339-bed academic tertiary referral
hospital to handle data of more than 180,000 admissions.
Results: RadaR enabled visualization of analytical graphs and
statistical summaries in a rapid and interactive manner. It allowed
users to filter patient groups by 17 different criteria and investigate
antimicrobial use, microbiological diagnostic use and results including
antimicrobial resistance, and outcome in length of stay. Furthermore,
with RadaR, results can be stratified and grouped to compare defined
patient groups on the basis of individual patient features.
Conclusions: AMS teams can use RadaR to identify areas within their
institutions that might benefit from increased support and targeted
interventions. It can be used for the assessment of diagnostic and
therapeutic procedures and for visualizing and communicating analyses.
RadaR demonstrated the feasibility of developing software tools for use
in infection management and for AMS teams in an open-source approach,
thus making it free to use and adaptable to different settings.},

Abstract = {Traditional Software Engineering courses commonly prioritize the
teaching of methodologies and concepts in small and controlled
environments. This decision is partly justified by the difficulty of
bringing real software projects to the classroom. The ubiquity of Open
Source Software (OSS) projects contributes to mitigating this problem.
Several instructors already make use of contribution to OSS as part of
the teaching and evaluation process in their courses. However, little is
known about how students perceive the approach of contributing to OSS
projects in the context of a Software Engineering course. This paper
aims to uncover challenges and benefits from the students' perspective.
To achieve this, we conducted14 semi-structured interviews with students
who attended to this kind of courses in five different Brazilian
universities, resulting in findings not so well known. For example, we
noticed that, although instructors point to the projects that students
are required to contribute to, students (and the project community) are
involved in the process of choosing projects and tasks (issues). We also
identified that students' contributions vary in terms of number of lines
added and removed in commits, as well as the use of different
programming languages.},

Abstract = {This study focuses on students' behavioral intention to use Open Source
Software (OSS). The article examines how students, who were trained in
OSS, are motivated to continue using it. A conceptual model based on
Self-Determination Theory and the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM)
was defined in order to test the behavioral intention to use OSS,
comprising six constructs: (1) autonomy, (2) competence, (3)
relatedness, (4) perceived ease of use, (5) perceived usefulness and (6)
behavioral intention to use. A survey was designed for data collection.
The participants were recent secondary school graduates, and all of them
had received mandatory OSS training. A total of 352 valid responses were
used to test the proposed structural model, which was performed using
the Lisrel software. The results clearly confirmed the positive
influence of the intrinsic motivations; autonomy and relatedness, to
improve perceptions regarding the usefulness and ease of use of OSS,
and; therefore, on behavioral intention to use OSS. In addition, the
implications and limitations of this study are considered.},

Abstract = {Objectives: To describe the use of open-source software for the
post-processing of CBCT imaging for the assessment of periapical lesions
development after endodontic treatment.
Methods: CBCT scans were retrieved from endodontic records of two
patients. Threedimensional virtual models, voxel counting, volumetric
measurement (mm(3)) and mean intensity of the periapical lesion were
performed with ITK-SNAP v. 3.0 software. Threedimensional models of the
lesions were aligned and overlapped through the MeshLab software, which
performed an automatic recording of the anatomical structures, based on
the best fit. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the changes in
lesions size after treatment were performed with the 3DMeshMetric
software.
Results: The ITK-SNAP v. 3.0 showed the smaller value corresponding to
the voxel count and the volume of the lesion segmented in yellow,
indicating reduction in volume of the lesion after the treatment. A
higher value of the mean intensity of the segmented image in yellow was
also observed, which suggested new bone formation. Colour mapping and
``point value{''} tool allowed the visualization of the reduction of
periapical lesions in several regions.
Conclusions: Researchers and clinicians in the monitoring of endodontic
periapical lesions have the opportunity to use open-source software.},

Title = {Towards a unified criteria model for usability evaluation in the context
of open source software based on a fuzzy Delphi method},
Journal = {INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {130},
Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {Context: A plethora of models are available for open-source software
(OSS) usability evaluation. However, these models lack consensus between
scholars as well as standard bodies on a specific set of usability
evaluation criteria. Retaining irrelevant criteria and omitting
essential ones will mislead the direction of the usability evaluation.
Objective: This study introduces a three-step method to develop a
usability evaluation model in the context of OSS.
Method: The fuzzy Delphi method has been employed to unify the usability
evaluation criteria in the context of OSS. The first step in the method
is the usability criteria analysis, which involves redefining and
restructuring all collected usability criteria reported in the
literature. The second step is fuzzy Delphi analysis, which includes the
design and validates the fuzzy Delphi instrument and the utilisation of
the fuzzy Delphi method to analyse the fuzziness consensus of experts'
opinions on the usability evaluation criteria. The third step is the
proposal of the OSS usability evaluation model.
Results: A total of 124 usability criteria were identified, redefined,
and restructured by creating groups of related meaning criteria. The
result of the groupings generated 11 main criteria; the findings of the
fuzzy Delphi narrowed down the criteria to only seven. The final set of
criteria was sent back to the panellists for reconsideration of their
responses. The panellists verified that these criteria are suitable in
the evaluation of the usability of OSS.
Discussion: The empirical analysis confirmed that the proposed
evaluation model is acceptable in assessing the usability of OSS.
Therefore, this model can be used as a reference metric for OSS
usability evaluation which will have a practical benefit for the
community in public and private organisations in helping the
decision-maker to select the best OSS software package amongst the
alternatives.},

Abstract = {This article presents the findings of a research aimed at characterizing
F/OSS migration initiatives, in total 30 experiences have been
considered, 19 of which have been conducted by public administrations
and the rest by private firms, operating different industries in eight
different countries.
Open source migration projects is a recent research topic, more so when
considering it from a managerial perspective. To overcome the lack of
theoretical models an empirical approach relying on grounded theory has
been adopted as this inductive approach allows theory building and
hypothesis formulation.
According to the results, migrating from proprietary into open source is

development dynamics of free software projects, that is, on the
evolution of the application. A key factor for the success of a free
software project is its development dynamics, dependent on the
attraction and retention of users and developers. The license plays an
important role in this scenario, because by imposing restrictions on the
use of the source code it attracts potential contributors in a different
way. The degree of restriction of the license and an indicator of
success of free software were related: the time between stages, that is,
the time spent to evolve through the various stages of development. The
results indicated that projects licensed under non-restrictive terms
progress faster than projects licensed under highly restrictive terms
and that projects with restrictive licenses progress slower than
projects with non-restrictive or highly restrictive licenses.},

many FLOSS projects (such as Linux, Apache, GNOME or KDE, among others)
are massive, they are open to anyone to participate, and are driven
mainly by telematic means. We therefore present the research literature
that has studied FLOSS projects from points of view that are close to
learning and discuss how the FLOSS community has approached many of the
issues related to acquiring knowledge and skills over the Internet and
compare them to how currently MOOCs, both xMOOCs and cMOOCs, address
these situations.},

Abstract = {As a software evolves its code requires constant updating. In this
sense, refactoring edits aim at improving structural aspects of a code
without changing its external behavior. However, studies show that
developers tend to combine in a single commit refactorings and
behavior-changing edits (extra edits) - floss-refactoring.
Floss-refactorings can be error-prone and require careful handling.
However, little has been done to understand how refactorings and extra
edits relate in practice. In this work, we propose a strategy for
extracting floss-refactoring data. Moreover, we mine code repositories
of 16 open-source projects and analyse commits with floss refactoring
related to Extract Method. Our results show that developers often
combine Extract Method with inner method extra edits (e.g., statement
insert), with an expected increase of 8-16\% of extra edits by each
Extract Method. Moreover, some statements are more likely to be changed
depending on the extra edit performed.},

Abstract = {Traditionally, Spanish university teaching has been characterized by a
strong theoretical charge with small emphasis on practical application.
The implementation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) tried to
change this trend focusing on the attention of the figure of the
student, limiting the figure of the teacher as ``a shepherd who leads
his flock.{''} Within this scenario, this paper presents a website
offering to students, and university community in general, the chance to
enter into the analysis of an econometric model in an independent way.
The produced material is basically made up of videos together with
appropriate explanatory comments that show how to estimate and validate
a general linear model by using specialized econometric software. The
election of the econometric packages Gretl and R is not arbitrary but
responds to the need to provide to students reliable tools that may be
freely used in their professional future without being subject to
licensing fees. The main goal is to focus on the learning process in the
students providing them more than only pages filled with formulas (often
incomprehensible to the student). We consider that this contribution
leads to a learning methodology based on the student, combining
education, research and innovation while improving the employability of
our students, being some of the main priorities of the EHEA.},

Abstract = {The aim of this study was to investigate the utilization of milkweed
fruit floss residues as a source for the isolation of cellulose.
Cellulose was extracted by acidified sodium chlorite and sodium
hydroxide treatments. Characterization of the pristine milkweed floss
and extracted cellulose was performed by chemical composition analysis,
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron
microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric
analysis (TGA). The extracted cellulose had mainly a-cellulose as the
other components hemicellulose and lignin were significantly removed
during cellulose extraction process. The FTIR spectra also indicated
that the chemical treatments extensively removed hemicellulose and
lignin from the pristine milkweed floss. SEM technique was used to
investigate the surface morphology of the pristine milkweed floss and
extracted cellulose. The intensity of the crystalline peak in the X-ray
diffractograms of the extracted cellulose was higher than that of
pristine milkweed. Further, the XRD results indicated a structural
transformation of cellulose I (pristine milkweed) to cellulose II
(extracted cellulose) because of the chemical treatments. The extracted
cellulose, which is a high biomass, had better thermal stability than
the pristine milkweed floss owing to removal of non-cellulosic
components.},

Abstract = {Tools and artifacts produced by open source software (OSS) have been
woven into the foundation of the technology industry. To keep this
foundation intact, the open source community needs to actively invest in
sustainable approaches to bring in new contributors and nurture existing
ones. We take a first step at this by collaboratively designing a
maintainer dashboard that provides recommendations on how to attract and
retain open source contributors. For example, by highlighting project
goals (e.g., a social good cause) to attract diverse contributors and
mechanisms to acknowledge (e.g., a ``rising contributor{''} badge)
existing contributors. Next, we conduct a project-specific evaluation
with maintainers to better understand use cases in which this tool will
be most helpful at supporting their plans for growth. From analyzing
feedback, we find recommendations to be useful at signaling projects as
welcoming and providing gentle nudges for maintainers to proactively
recognize emerging contributors. However, there are complexities to
consider when designing recommendations such as the project current
development state (e.g., deadlines, milestones, refactoring) and
governance model. Finally, we distill our findings to share what the
future of recommendations in open source looks like and how to make
these recommendations most meaningful over time.},

Title = {Multifaceted formal methods and their interdisciplinary role - From the
cathedral of `components as coalgebras' to the HCI context and the open
source software bazaar},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF LOGICAL AND ALGEBRAIC METHODS IN PROGRAMMING},
Year = {2025},
Volume = {142},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {In this article we revisit the history of formal methods with a focus on
important aspects that contribute to their interdisciplinary role. We
consider: the variability of mathematical representation techniques on
which the theoretical foundations of formal methods are based; formal
methods multidisciplinarity; their capability to serve at a meta-level
in providing the semantics of programming languages, specification and
modelling languages as well as higher- level and domain-specific formal
notations; and, finally, how some of these higher-level and
domain-specific notations may be lifted at an interdisciplinary level.
Within this historical review, we are inspired by Luis Barbosa's
``components as coalgebras{''} approach in seeing that the duality
data-process is underlying all those aspects of formal methods. We also
see that such a duality may not only be expressed in universal terms
within category theory, but may also be characterised in practical terms
and focused applications by two distinct logic paradigms, equational
logic for the data and rewriting logic for the process, by two modelling
directions, forward process definitions and backward data-driven process
transformations, and by the distinction between syntax, defined by the
data structures, and semantics, provided by rewrite rules. We use the
Maude modelling language to illustrate the application of the data-
process duality. In fact, Maude use equational logic to define data
types and rewriting logic to express system evolution. Illustrative
examples are from the areas of cognitive science and human- computer
interaction (HCI). We then define a data-driven model transformation,
which we call elaborative mining, , which adopts a backward perspective
to recover a behaviour that was observed in real life but was not
predicted forward by the original model. Finally, we see how the ``open
source software bazaar{''}, which is a metaphor for the apparently
chaotic open source development process, offers us a big data context to
lift the driving process for model transformation from deterministic to
statistical.},

this article is to analyze digital reading in a free software

the Latin American Festival of Free Software Installation. Based on a
qualitative methodology, with the incorporation of some ethnographic
tools, data were collected from the reading situations observed in the
intervention. We used the following theoretical foundations: ludic
narratives and video games, digital reading in a hybrid context
(coexistence of paper and screen) and free software in education. The
data collected were analyzed with grounded theory procedures to
construct the following categories of analysis of the digital reading
comprehension of children: literal comprehension, inferential
comprehension, inferential comprehension of literary elements and
comprehension of the ludic structure and. We conclude that reading on
screen mediated by free software shows a cognitive complexity that
allows the critical review of the influence of GAFAMs in the educational
community and that benefits the strengthening of the cultural mesh.},

Abstract = {This paper describes an innovative, accessible, and sustainable method
for enhancing cultural heritage. Documenting and disseminating the
public works heritage have now come of age, digitally speaking, with the
adoption of new technologies both to further research on and heighten
the esteem attributed to the public works heritage. Nonetheless,
academic discourse rarely describes procedures for the 3D digitisation
of heritage works comprehensible to non-expert readers with limited
resources. Taking that premise as a starting point, with special
attention to the determinants of the public works heritage, this article
aims to define the general, open-source methodology covering 3D model
data capture, information processing and optimisation. The article also
discusses model dissemination strategies using free platforms and
low-cost tools. The general discussion is illustrated with the case
study of Ariza Bridge in Spain. This Renaissance-style structure dates
from the second half of the sixteenth century. Despite its listing as a
cultural heritage asset, the monument was flooded by the Giribaile
reservoir waters in 1998 and is now only wholly visible during droughts.
The application, developed with open-source software and implemented
with free platforms and low-cost tools, features geo-referencing and is
designed to be accessible to non-expert users. The methodology proposed
is intended as a suitable instrument for the sustainable study,
valorisation and dissemination of the built heritage.},

buildings: experiences from the Italian Seismic Observatory of
Structures (OSS) network},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF CIVIL STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING},
Year = {2024},
Month = {2024 SEP 10},
Abstract = {The paper presents an in-depth analysis of the ambient dynamic behavior
of nine masonry buildings monitored by the Italian Seismic Observatory
of Structures (OSS). Addressing a significant knowledge gap affecting
this structural type, the study reveals how daily and seasonal
fluctuations in environmental factors have a notable influence on its
experimental modal parameters. A robust frequency-domain tracking
algorithm is first developed to identify and follow the evolution of
modal parameters over time, exploiting ambient vibration recordings
acquired at sub-daily intervals on the structures. The procedure is
systematically applied to the entire portfolio of case-study buildings
and, in the first year of training, integrated with measurements of
environmental parameters provided by nearby weather stations. The
multivariate regression analysis indicates that temperature variation is
the primary driver of the observed wandering of natural frequencies. The
frequency-temperature relationship shows a positive correlation above
zero degrees and, in several cases, a significant degree of nonlinearity
already present in low-frequency global modes. Simple predictive models
are proposed to address such nonlinear behavior, including freezing
conditions and accounting for internal heating during winter. Leveraging
these novel insights, the work develops strategies to improve the
efficiency of data acquisition protocols and training periods, enabling
the near-future extension of real-time condition assessment
methodologies to the entire OSS network.},

cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the building blocks. The
halloysite-mediated satellite-core material displays a photocatalytic of
H-2 evolution performance with the highest evolution rate of 137.0 mu
mol g(-1) h(-1) in visible light condition with no co-catalysts, and is
similar to 3.4 times that of bulk g-C3N4, mainly benefiting from the
reduced nanometer size of debris g-C3N4 and enhanced interface
dispersion ability by HNTs, resulting in ameliorative separation
efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers. This research conclusively
provides the new perspective towards the performance enhancement of
water splitting of g-C3N4 in raw clay mineral modification mode and
broadens the applications of mineral-based composite in the renewable
energy utilization field.},

Abstract = {This study brings together findings about two contexts of sharing in
order to explore the meaning of the word in the digital environment.
First, this study is based on ethnographic research of free software
projects and uses the resulting thick description to determine the
meaning of sharing in this context. Second, the current literature on
sharing usually takes user-generated content (UGC) platforms as its
empirical reference, resulting in identifying a distinct meaning of
sharing in this context. By combining the two sets of findings into a
single narrative, this study makes three points: (1) the academic
discourse on free software conceptualizing it as a form of gift-giving
antithetical to the ways of capitalist production needs to be revised;
(2) the use of sharing in the context of UGC platforms relies heavily on
references to the culture of free software; (3) although representatives
from both contexts claim to be taking part in the same sharing
practices, there are substantial differences in the type of information
being shared, the explicitness of the sharing mechanisms, and the
organizational context of monetization of the shared objects.},

Abstract = {Nowadays, the adoption of Open Source Software (OSS) by organizations is
becoming a strategic need in a wide variety of application areas.
Organizations adopt OSS in very diverse ways. The way in which they
adopt OSS affects and shapes their businesses. Therefore, knowing the
impact of different OSS adoption strategies in the context of an
organization may help improving the processes undertaken inside this
organization and ultimately pave the road to strategic moves. However,
there is a lack of support for assessing the impact of the OSS adoption
over the business of the adopter organizations. Based on the
goal-oriented characterization of some OSS adoption strategies, in this
paper, we propose a preliminary approach to assess the business impact
of the OSS adoption strategies over the adopter organizations. The
proposal is based on the Business Model Canvas and graph theory notions
to support the elicitation and assessment of the impact of each goal
over the adopter organization. We illustrate the application of the
approach in the context of a telecommunications company.},

Abstract = {Student involvement in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) holds the
potential to support a wide range software engineering education topics
from requirements to design to testing and more. In addition,
participation in a FOSS project exposes students to large, complex
software projects and real-world development teams and environments like
those that they will typically see after graduation. However,
identifying a project appropriate for student involvement can be a
difficult task. There are a huge number of possible FOSS projects with a
wide range of sizes, complexity, and domains. The presenters of this
workshop have developed an approach to FOSS project identification {[}1]
which is based on several years of experience with student participation
in FOSS projects. The approach is based on humanitarian FOSS (HFOSS) as
those projects have been shown to motivate students {[}2]. During the
workshop, key criteria for evaluating a FOSS project will be presented,
along with a rubric. This workshop will interactively walk participants
through the process of identifying and evaluating a project appropriate
for their classes based on the criteria and rubric.},

Abstract = {In today's world, management often rely on FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open Source

FLOSS is different from the software they have been using in the last

diverse as many volunteers and companies may collaborate in the project.
In this paper, the authors want to shed some light on how to evaluate a
FLOSS system by looking at the Moodle platform, which is currently the
most used learning management system among educational institutions
worldwide. In contrast with other evaluation models that have been
proposed so far, the one presented here is based on retrieving
historical information that can be obtained publicly from the Internet,
allowing the authors to study its evolution. As a result, they will show
how using their methodology management can take informed decisions that
lower the risk that organizations face when investing in a FLOSS system.},

Abstract = {The development of open source software (OSS) is a broad field which
requires diverse skill sets. For example, maintainers help lead the
project and promote its longevity, technical writers assist with
documentation, bug reporters identify defects in software, and
developers program the software. However, it is unknown which skills are
used in OSS development as well as OSS contributors' general attitudes
towards skills in OSS. In this paper, we address this gap by
administering a survey to a diverse set of 455 OSS contributors. Guided
by these responses as well as prior literature on software development
expertise and social factors of OSS, we develop a model of skills in OSS
that considers the many contexts OSS contributors work in. This model
has 45 skills in the following 9 categories: technical skills, working
styles, problem solving, contribution types, project-specific skills,
interpersonal skills, external relations, management, and
characteristics. Through a mix of qualitative and quantitative analyses,
we find that OSS contributors are actively motivated to improve skills
and perceive many benefits in sharing their skills with others. We then
use this analysis to derive a set of design implications and best
practices for those who incorporate skills into OSS tools and platforms,
such as GitHub.},

Abstract = {Some free, open-source software projects have been around for quite a
long time, the longest living ones dating from the early 1980s. For some
of them, detailed information about their evolution is available in
source code management systems tracking all their code changes for
periods of more than 15 years. This paper examines in detail the
evolution of one of such projects, glibc, with the main aim of
understanding how it evolved and how it matched Lehman's laws of
software evolution. As a result, we have developed a methodology for
studying the evolution of such long-lived projects based on the
information in their source code management repository, described in
detail several aspects of the history of glibc, including some activity
and size metrics, and found how some of the laws of software evolution
may not hold in this case. (C) 2013 The Authors. Journal of Software:

OSS, which may be used in evaluating different algorithms recommending
OSS. To reach this aim, we designed the structure of the dataset by
studying OSS characteristics and we mined both SourceForge and Github
repositories in order to constitute the data collection. We then
proceeded to the evaluation step by running a set of well-known
recommendation algorithms within Recommender101 and Librec frameworks on
the OSS dataset. The obtained benchmark may serve as a basis for any
future work about OSS recommendation by either extending the dataset, or
evaluating and comparing new algorithms.},

Current literature explains the contributors' lifecycle, starting with
the motivations that drive people to contribute and barriers to joining

members. However, the stages when developers leave the projects are
still weakly explored and are not well-defined in existing developers'
lifecycle models. In this position paper, we enrich the knowledge about
the leaving stage by identifying sleeping and dead states, representing
temporary and permanent brakes that developers take from contributing.
We conducted a preliminary set of semi-structured interviews with active
developers. We analyzed the answers by focusing on defining and
understanding the reasons for the transitions to/from sleeping and dead
states. This paper raises new questions that may guide further
discussions and research, which may ultimately benefit OSS communities.},

study of OSS-Fuzz, analyzing 23,907 bugs found in 316 projects. We
examine the characteristics of fuzzer-found faults, the lifecycles of
such faults, and the evolution of fuzzing campaigns over time. We find
that OSS-Fuzz is often effective at quickly finding bugs, and developers
are often quick to patch them. However, flaky bugs, timeouts, and out of
memory errors are problematic, people rarely file CVEs for security
vulnerabilities, and fuzzing campaigns often exhibit punctuated
equilibria, where developers might be surprised by large spikes in bugs
found. Our findings have implications on future fuzzing research and
practice.},

Abstract = {Social networks in Free/Open Source Software (F/OSS) have been usually
analyzed at the level of the single project e.g., {[}6], or at the level
of a whole ecology of projects, e.g., {[}33]. In this paper, we also
investigate the social network generated by developers who collaborate
to one or multiple F/OSS projects, but we focus on the less-studied
meso-level structure emerging when applying to this network a
community-detection technique. The network of `communities' emerging
from this analysis links sub-groups of densely connected developers,
sub-groups that are smaller than the components of the network but
larger than the teams working on single projects. Our results reveal the
complexity of this meso-level structure, where several dense sub-groups
of developers are connected by sparse collaboration among different
sub-groups. We discuss the theoretical implications of our findings with
reference to the wider literature on collaboration networks and
potential for innovation. We argue that the observed empirical
meso-structure in F/OSS collaboration network resembles that associated
to the highest levels of innovativeness.},

Abstract = {The free culture and FOSS (Free Open Source Software) movements aren't
new concepts, proof of that is the increasing number of projects
following this kind of philosophy. However common users tend to avoid
FOSS instead of contributing to the betterment of such alternatives to
proprietary solutions. Although people understand philosophy behind such
concepts, they tend to avoid using FOSS in fear of it not meeting their
needs.
A project aiming to prove that free alternatives such as FOSS are a
worthy alternative was born. A videogame was made from the ground up
using only FOSS and Freeware solutions, along with free assets made
available to the community for free, filling the gaps where the team had
no expert to solve (such as sound effects). During the development of
this project, several aspects of the software being used were analyzed
in order to better discern the advantages and disadvantages of using
these free alternatives.},

Abstract = {This paper describes problems that arose with the scaling and
internationalization of the open source project Catrobat. The problems
we faced were the lack of a centralized user management, insufficient
scaling of our communication channels, and the necessity to adapt agile
development techniques to remote collaboration. To solve the problems we
decided to use a mix of open source tools (Git, IRC, LDAP) and
commercial solutions (Jira, Confluence, GitHub) because we believe that
this mix best fits our needs. Other projects can benefit from the
lessons we learned during the reorganization of our knowledge base and
communication tools, as infrastructure changes can be very
labor-intensive and time-consuming.},

Abstract = {Community dynamics play an important role in the Open Source Software
(OSS) development paradigm. Researchers have extensively studied the
human aspects of the OSS paradigm from the point of view of community
formation to community evolution. A few studies relate community
dynamics with OSS product attributes such as code quality. However, the
impact of community dynamics on non-code contributions such as commits
has not been explored. In this paper, the aim is to analyze the impact
of community dynamics on syntactic quality of commit messages of an OSS
project. We first propose and validate a commit message quality model,
and then use that model to analyze the OSS projects. Empirical analysis
of seven OSS projects available in the Git repository shows that a small
group of contributors active at the same time in a project leads to high
syntactic quality contributions. These observations may prove useful to
developers as well as project managers who need quantifiable techniques
for monitoring the OSS projects.},

Abstract = {Many Open Source Software (OSS) projects are moving form Centralized
Version Control (CVC) to Distributed Version Control (DVC). The effect
of this shift on project organization and developer collaboration is not
well understood. In this paper, we use a theoretical argument to
evaluate the appropriateness of using DVC in the context of two very
common organization forms in OSS: a dictatorship and a peer group. We
find that DVC facilitates large hierarchical communities as well as
smaller groups of developers, while CVC allows for consensus-building by
a peer group. We also find that the flexibility of DVC systems allows
for diverse styles of developer collaboration. With CVC, changes flow up
and down (and publicly) via a central repository. In contrast, DVC
facilitates collaboration in which work output can flow sideways (and
privately) between collaborators, with no repository being inherently
more important or central. These sideways flows are a relatively new
concept. Developers on the Linux project, who tend to be experienced DVC
users, cluster around ``sandboxes:{''} repositories where developers can
work together on a particular topic, isolating their changes from other
developers. In this work, we focus on two large, mature OSS projects to
illustrate these findings. However, we suggest that social media sites
like GitHub may engender other original styles of collaboration that
deserve further study.},

Journal = {ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS},
Year = {2025},
Volume = {57},
Number = {1},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {Over the past decade, Open Source Software (OSS) has experienced rapid
growth and widespread adoption, attributed to its openness and
editability. However, this expansion has also brought significant
security challenges, particularly introducing and propagating software
vulnerabilities. Despite the use of machine learning and formal methods
to tackle these issues, there remains a notable gap in comprehensive
surveys that summarize and analyze both Vulnerability Detection (VD) and
Security Patch Detection (SPD) in OSS. This article seeks to bridge this
gap through an extensive survey that evaluates 127 technical studies
published between 2014 and 2023, structured around the
Vulnerability-Patch lifecycle. We begin by delineating the six critical
events that constitute the Vulnerability-Patch lifecycle, leading to an
in-depth exploration of the Vulnerability-Patch ecosystem. We then
systematically review the databases commonly used in VD and SPD, and
analyze their characteristics. Subsequently, we examine existing VD
methods, focusing on traditional and deep learning based approaches.
Additionally, we organize current security patch identification methods
by kernel type and discuss techniques for detecting the presence of
security patches. Based on our comprehensive review, we identify open
research questions and propose future research directions that merit
further exploration.},

propose a social network-based approach to quality assessment and
evaluation of F/OSS applications. The proposed system utilises the
community formed around F/OSS projects to produce meaningful
recommendations based on specific user preferences. We suggest that such
an approach would overcome some of the difficulties complicating user
choice by making useful suggestions and can fit seamlessly within the
structure of the majority of F/OSS projects. The main focus of this work
is on the end users of free and open source software and not on the
developers of the software. The social network-based approach would
apply differently to these different user classes.},

Abstract = {Tools and artifacts produced by open source software (OSS) have been
woven into the foundation of the technology industry. To keep this
foundation intact, the open source community needs to actively invest in
sustainable approaches to bring in new contributors and nurture existing
ones. We take a first step at this by collaboratively designing a
maintainer dashboard that provides recommendations on how to attract and
retain open source contributors. For example, by highlighting project
goals (e.g., a social good cause) to attract diverse contributors and
mechanisms to acknowledge (e.g., a ``rising contributor{''} badge)
existing contributors. Next, we conduct a project-specific evaluation
with maintainers to better understand use cases in which this tool will
be most helpful at supporting their plans for growth. From analyzing
feedback, we find recommendations to be useful at signaling projects as
welcoming and providing gentle nudges for maintainers to proactively
recognize emerging contributors. However, there are complexities to
consider when designing recommendations such as the project current
development state (e.g., deadlines, milestones, refactoring) and
governance model. Finally, we distill our findings to share what the
future of recommendations in open source looks like and how to make
these recommendations most meaningful over time.},

Abstract = {-Omics systems sciences are at the epicenter of personalized medicine
and public health, and drivers of knowledge-based biotechnology
innovation. Bioinformatics, a core component of omics research, is one
of the disciplines that first employed Free/Libre Open Source Software
(FLOSS), and thus provided a fertile ground for its further development.
Understanding the use and characteristics of FLOSS deployed in the omics
field is valuable for future innovation strategies, policy and funding
priorities. We conducted a bibliometric, longitudinal study of the use
of FLOSS in sepsis omics research from 2011 to 2015 in the United
States, EU-28 and China. Because sepsis is an interdisciplinary field at
the intersection of multiple omics technologies and medical specialties,
it was chosen as a model innovation ecosystem for this empirical
analysis, which used publicly available data. Despite development of and
competition from proprietary commercial software, scholars in omics
continue to employ FLOSS routinely, and independent of the type of omics
technology they work with. The number of articles using FLOSS increased
significantly over time in the EU-28, as opposed to the United States
and China (R=0.96, p=0.004). Furthermore, in an era where sharing of
knowledge is being strongly advocated and promoted by public agencies
and social institutions, we discuss possible correlations between the
use of FLOSS and various funding sources in omics research. These
observations and analyses provide new insights into the use of FLOSS in
sepsis omics research across three (supra)national regions. Further
benchmarking studies are warranted for FLOSS trends in other omics
fields and geographical settings. These could, in time, lead to the
development of new composite innovation and technology use metrics in
omics systems sciences and bioinformatics communities.},

companies may remain reluctant to adopt them as the cornerstone for
their new evolved systems that can work at scale. Ownership, security,
quality concerns, or support confidence are widely common reasons.
Furthermore, these concerns are intensified when the OSS is to take part
in critical sections of the evolved system. Using a complex case study
from Zalando, this article aims to give some light to both researchers
and practitioners into the use of OSS to drive this evolution, and the
impact that the OSS can have on the adopting system.},

Abstract = {With the prosperity of the Open Source Software, various software
communities are formed and they attract huge amounts of developers to
participate in distributed software development. For such software
development paradigm, how to evaluate the skills of the developers
comprehensively and automatically is critical. However, most of the
existing researches assess the developers based on the
``Implementation{''} aspects, such as the artifacts they created or
edited. They ignore the developers' contributions in ``Social
collaboration{''} aspects, such as answering questions, giving advices,
making comments or creating social connections. In this paper, we
propose a novel model which evaluate the individuals' skills from both
``Implementation{''} and ``Social collaboration{''} aspects. Our model
defines four metrics from muti-dimensions, including collaboration
index, technical skill, community influence and development
contribution. We carry out experiments on a real-world online software
community. The results show that our approach can make more
comprehensive measurement than the previous work.},

Abstract = {The purpose of this article is to explain the design and implementation
of an open-source engineering education software called Stochastic
Theory Education through Visualization Environment (STEVE), version 2.0.
In an earlier article, a proof-of-concept for a computer-aided
visualization tool (also named STEVE, version 1.0) for stochastic theory
education in water resources engineering was articulated {[}see, Schwenk
et al. Comput. Appl. Eng. Educ., 2008, in press). Using lava Native
Interfacing, it was shown that STEVE 1.0 could wrap a space time
stochastic model written in any computer language and be independent of
any specific language compiler during tool usage. This article describes
the general philosophy, software design, and classroom usage for STEVE
with significant improvements on visualization and user-friendliness
(hence, rightfully called version 2.0). The software was created using
the C++ programming language with the Microsoft Windows Applications
Programming Interface (API). OpenGL was used for the visualization
display, and the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) was used to visualize
text inside the OpenGL window. The instructor-specified simulation
program on stochastic theory was written in Fortran 77. The application
has user-friendly options for modifying input data and parameter
specifications as desired by the instructor or the student user. STEVE
2.0 has been tested with the Windows XP and Windows Vista operating
systems. For the benefit of interested users and software makers, we
also provide the software application, a short tutorial and all
pertinent source codes as freeware for download on our STEVE homepage at

Title = {New Omnidirectional Sensor Based on Open-Source Software and Hardware
for Tracking and Backtracking of Dual-Axis Solar Trackers in
Photovoltaic Plants},
Journal = {SENSORS},
Year = {2021},

Abstract = {In this work, an omnidirectional sensor that enables identification of
the direction of the celestial sphere with maximum solar irradiance is
presented. The sensor, based on instantaneous measurements, functions as
a position server for dual-axis solar trackers in photovoltaic plants.
The proposed device has been developed with free software and hardware,
which makes it a pioneering solution because it is open and accessible
as well as capable of being improved by the scientific community,
thereby contributing to the rapid advancement of technology. In
addition, the device includes an algorithm developed ex professo that
makes it possible to predetermine the regions of the celestial sphere
for which, according to the geometric characteristics of the PV plant,
there would be shading between the panels. In this way, solar trackers
do not have to locate the Sun's position at all times according to
astronomical models, while taking into account factors such as shadows
or cloudiness that also affect levels of incident irradiance on solar
collectors. Therefore, with this device, it is possible to provide
photovoltaic plants with dual-axis solar tracking with a low-cost device
that helps to optimise the trajectory of the trackers and, consequently,
their radiative capture and energy production.},

Title = {An integrated pipeline of open source software adapted for multi-CPU
architectures: Use in the large-scale identification of single
nucleotide polymorphisms},
Journal = {COMPARATIVE AND FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS},
Year = {2007},
Pages = {1-7},
Abstract = {The large amounts of EST sequence data available from a single species
of an organism as well as for several species within a genus provide an
easy source of identification of intra-and interspecies single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In the case of model organisms, the
data available are numerous, given the degree of redundancy in the
deposited EST data. There are several available bioinformatics tools
that can be used to mine this data; however, using them requires a
certain level of expertise: the tools have to be used sequentially with
accompanying format conversion and steps like clustering and assembly of
sequences become time-intensive jobs even for moderately sized datasets.
We report here a pipeline of open source software extended to run on
multiple CPU architectures that can be used to mine large EST datasets
for SNPs and identify restriction sites for assaying the SNPs so that
cost-effective CAPS assays can be developed for SNP genotyping in
genetics and breeding applications. At the International Crops Research
Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), the pipeline has been
implemented to run on a Paracel high-performance system consisting of
four dual AMD Opteron processors running Linux with MPICH. The pipeline
can be accessed through user-friendly web interfaces at
http://hpc.icrisat.cgiar.org/PBSWeb and is available on request for
academic use. We have validated the developed pipeline by mining
chickpea ESTs for interspecies SNPs, development of CAPS assays for SNP
genotyping, and confirmation of restriction digestion pattern at the
sequence level. Copyright (C) 2007.},

Data and Open Source Software: The Case Study of Modena, Italy},
Journal = {SUSTAINABILITY},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {10},

Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon, namely urban areas where the
atmospheric temperature is significantly higher than in the surrounding
rural areas, is currently a very well-known topic both in the scientific
community and in public debates. Growing urbanization is one of the
anthropic causes of UHI. The UHI phenomenon has a negative impact on the
life quality of the local population (thermal discomfort, summer thermal
shock, etc.), thus investigations and analyses on this topic are really
useful and important for correct and sustainable urban planning; this
study is included in this context. A multi-temporal analysis was
performed in the municipality of Modena (Italy) to identify and estimate
the Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI, strictly correlated to the UHI
phenomenon) from 2014 to 2017. For this purpose, Landsat-8 satellite
images were processed with Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS)
to obtain the Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the Normalized
Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). For every pixel, LST and NDVI values
of three regions of interest (ROI, i.e., Countryside, Suburbs, and City
Center) were extracted and their correlations were investigated. A
maximum variation of 6.4 degrees C in the LST values between City Center
and Countryside was highlighted, confirming the presence of the SUHI
phenomenon even in a medium-sized municipality like Modena. The
implemented procedure demonstrates that satellite data are suitable for
SUHI identification and estimation, therefore it could be a useful tool
for public administration for urban planning policies.},

coastal management: A study case of sea-level rise in southern Brazil},
Journal = {REGIONAL STUDIES IN MARINE SCIENCE},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {48},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {This work assesses sea-level rise impact using three different models
created on Free and Open-Source Software for Geographic Information
System to help coastal managers in the initial stages. The End Point
Rate for QGIS (EPR4Q) computes a coastline projection using the End
Point Rate method. The Uncertainty Bathtub Model (uBTM) analyses the
effects of sea-level rise through the uncertainty of sea-level
projections and the vertical error of the Digital Elevation/Terrain
Model. The Bruun Rule for Google Earth Engine Model (BRGM) predicts the
position of the shoreline with sea-level rise, using topographic and
bathymetric data from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Coastal Modeling
System, respectively. Based on the regional projections of the Special
Report on Climate Change and Oceans and Cryosphere of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the models were applied to a
study case on the coast of Rio Grande do Sul-Brazil under different
scenarios of sea-level rise expected by the end of this century. The
results showed a maximum coastal retreat for the year 2100 of -502 m and
-1727 m using EPR4Q and BRGM, respectively. The uBTM with Mapbiomas land
use showed a maximum of 44.57 km(2) of urban area affected by sea-level
flooding. This study highlights the feasibility of conducting coastal
management analysis in GIS environment using non-commercial software.

Abstract = {Cross-cornrnunity collaboration can exploit the expertise and knowledges
of crowds in different communities. Recently increasing users in open

requirements from question and answer (Q\&A) communities such as Stack
Overflow (SO). In order to investigate this emerging crosscommunity
collaboration phenomenon, the paper presents an exploratory study on
cross-community requirements gathering of OSS projects in Cialut. We
manually sample 3266 practice cases and quantitatively analyze the
popularity of the phenomenon, the characteristics of the gathered
requirements, and cross-community collaboration behaviors of users.
Sonic important findings are obtained: more than half of the
requirements gathered from SO are enhancements and the majority of the
gathered requirements are non-functional requirements. In addition, 055
developers can directly obtain related solutions and contributions of
the gathered requirements from SO in the gathering process.},

Title = {Empowering High-Throughput High-Content Analysis of Microphysiological
Models: Open-Source Software for Automated Image Analysis of Microvessel
Formation and Cell Invasion},
Journal = {CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR BIOENGINEERING},
Year = {2024},
Month = {2024 OCT 10},
Abstract = {PurposeThe primary aim of this study was to develop an open-source
Python-based software for the automated analysis of dynamic cell
behaviors in microphysiological models using non-confocal microscopy.
This research seeks to address the existing gap in accessible tools for
high-throughput analysis of endothelial tube formation and cell invasion
in vitro, facilitating the rapid assessment of drug
sensitivity.MethodsOur approach involved annotating over 1000 2 mm
Z-stacks of cancer and endothelial cell co-culture model and training
machine learning models to automatically calculate cell coverage, cancer
invasion depth, and microvessel dynamics. Specifically, cell coverage
area was computed using focus stacking and Gaussian mixture models to
generate thresholded Z-projections. Cancer invasion depth was determined
using a ResNet-50 binary classification model, identifying which
Z-planes contained invaded cells and measuring the total invasion depth.
Lastly, microvessel dynamics were assessed through a U-Net
Xception-style segmentation model for vessel prediction, the DisPerSE
algorithm to extract an embedded graph, then graph analysis to quantify
microvessel length and connectivity. To further validate our software,
we reanalyzed an image set from a high-throughput drug screen involving
a chemotherapy agent on a 3D cervical and endothelial co-culture model.
Lastly, we applied this software to two naive image datasets from
coculture lumen and microvascular fragment models.ResultsThe software
accurately measured cell coverage, cancer invasion, and microvessel
length, yielding drug sensitivity IC50 values with a 95\% confidence
level compared to manual calculations. This approach significantly
reduced the image processing time from weeks down to h. Furthermore, the
software was able to calculate cell coverage, microvessel length, and
invasion depth from two additional microphysiological models that were
imaged with confocal microscopy, highlighting the versatility of the
software.ConclusionsOur free and open source software offers an
automated solution for quantifying 3D cell behavior in
microphysiological models assessed using non-confocal microscopy,
providing the broader Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering community
with an alternative to standard confocal microscopy paired with
proprietary software.This software can be found in our GitHub

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) evolution is an important research domain,

large number of studies are published on different aspects of OSS
evolution. Different metrics, models, processes and tools are presented
for predicting the evolution of OSS studies. These studies foster
researchers for contemporary and comprehensive review of literature on
OSS evolution prediction. We present a systematic mapping that covers
two contexts of OSS evolution studies conducted so far, i.e., OSS
evolution prediction and OSS evolution process support. We selected 98
primary studies from a large dataset that includes 56 conference, 35
journal and 7 workshop papers. The major focus of this systematic
mapping is to study and analyze metrics, models, methods and tools used
for OSS evolution prediction and evolution process support. We
identified 20 different categories of metrics used by OSS evolution
studies and results show that SLOC metric is largely used. We found 13
different models applied to different areas of evolution prediction and
auto-regressive integrated moving average models are largely used by
researchers. Furthermore, we report 13 different
approaches/methods/tools in existing literature for the evolution
process support that address different aspects of evolution.},

Abstract = {Microbial colonization, followed by succession, on newly exposed
volcanic substrates represents the beginning of the development of an
early ecosystem. During early succession colonization by mosses or
plants significantly alters the pioneer microbial community composition
through the photosynthetic carbon input. To provide further insights
into this process, we investigated the three-year-old volcanic deposits
of Mount Merapi, Indonesia. Samples were collected from unvegetated
(BRD) and moss-covered (BRUD) sites. Forest site soil (FRS) near the
volcanic deposit-covered area was also collected for reference. An
analysis of BRD and BRUD revealed high culturable cell densities
(1.7-8.5 x10(5)CFU g(-1)) despite their low total C (<0.01\%). FRS
possessed high CFU (3 x10(6) g(-1)); however, its relative value per
unit of total C (2.6\%) was lower than that of the deposit samples.
Based on the tag pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA genes, the BRD bacterial
community was characterized by a higher number of betaproteobacterial
families (or genus), represented by chemolithotrophic Methylophilaceae,
Leptothrix, and Sulfuricellaceae. In contrast, BRUD was predominated by
different betaproteobacterial families, such as Oxalobacteraceae,
Comamonadaceae, and Rhodocyclaceae. Some bacterial (Oxalobacteraceae)
sequences were phylogenetically related to those of known
moss-associated bacteria. Within the FRS community, Proteobacteria was
the most abundant phylum, followed by Acidobacteria, whereas
Burkholderiaceae was the most dominant bacterial family within FRS.
These results suggest that an inter-family succession of
Betaproteobacteria occurred in response to colonization by mosses,
followed by plants.},

Abstract = {The classification of software systems into types has been achieved in
the past by observing both their specifications and behavioral patterns:
the SPE classification, for instance, and its further supplements and
refinements. has identified the S-type (i.e., fully specified), the
P-type (i.e., specified but dependent on the context) and the E-type
(i.e., addressing evolving problems) among the software systems.
In order to detect types, and establish similarities, among
Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) systems, this paper considers
three modular characteristics (functions, files and folders) and their
evolution: how they are evolving with size, if they are constant across
systems, and whether recurring evolutionary patterns are observed. Using
these various-grained characteristics, a set of models for the evolution
of modularization are extracted from evolving systems, and then used to
extract similarities and types from a wide sample of FLOSS projects.
This paper provides three contributions: first, it shows that several
models are needed to encompass the variety of modularization patterns;
second, it provides three types of models (uni-variate, bi-variate and
tri-variate) for the evolution of modularization, with significant
goodness-of-fit's. Finally, it shows that two of these patterns alone
can interpolate the modular characteristics of the vast majority of a
random choice of FLOSS projects.},

Abstract = {Company engagement in open source (OSS) is now the new norm. From large
technology companies to startups, companies are participating in the OSS
ecosystem by open-sourcing their technology, sponsoring projects through
funding or paid developer time. However, our understanding of the OSS
ecosystem is rooted in the ``old world{''} model where individual
contributors sustain OSS projects. In this work, we create a more
comprehensive understanding of the hybrid OSS landscape by investigating
what motivates companies to contribute and how they contribute to OSS.
We conducted interviews with 20 participants who have different roles
(e.g., CEO, OSPO Lead, Ecosystem Strategist) at 17 different companies
of different sizes from large companies (e.g. Microsoft, RedHat, Google,
Spotify) to startups. Data from semi-structured interviews reveal that
company motivations can be categorized into four levels (Founders'
Vision, Reputation, Business Advantage, and Reciprocity) and companies
participate through different mechanisms (e.g., Developers' Time,
Mentoring Time, Advocacy \& Promotion Time), each of which tie to the
different types of motivations. We hope our findings nudge more
companies to participate in the OSS ecosystem, helping make it robust,
diverse, and sustainable.},

Abstract = {Reliance on data for software systems engineering is increasing, e.g.,
to train machine learning applications. We foresee increasing costs for
data collection and maintenance, leading to the risk of development
budgets eaten up by commodity features, thus leaving little resources
for differentiation and innovation. We therefore propose Open
Collaborative Data (OCD) - a concept analogous to Open Source Software
(OSS) as a means to share data. In contrast to Open Data (OD), which
e.g., governmental agencies provide to catalyze innovation, OCD is
shared in open collaboration between commercial organizations, similar
to OSS. To achieve this, there is a need for technical infrastructure
(e.g., tools for version and access control), licence models, and
governance models, all of which have to be tailored for data. However,
as data may be sensitive for privacy, anonymization and obfuscation of
data is also a research challenge. In this paper, we define the concept
of Open Collaborative Data, demonstrate it by map data and image
recognition examples, and outline a research agenda for OCD in software
engineering as a basis for more efficient evolution of software systems.},

valuable points are raised, the assessment is largely off target because

strongly shaped by the tradition of behavioral psychology (B. F. Skinner

substantive concerns, and which are plainly inconsistent with the main
interpretive claim, are not considered.},

Abstract = {Software forges are centralized online systems that provide useful tools
to help distributed development teams work together, especially in free,
libre, and open source software (FLOSS). Forge-provided tools may
include web space, version control systems, mailing lists and
communication forums, bug tracking systems, file downloads, wikis, and
the like. Empirical software engineering researchers can mine the
artifacts from these tools to better understand how FLOSS is made. As
the landscape of distributed software development has grown and changed,
the tools needed to make FLOSS have changed as well. There are three
newer tools at the center of FLOSS development today: distributed
version control based forges (like Github), programmer
question-and-answer communities (like Stack Overflow), and pastebin
tools (like Gist or Pastebin.com). These tools are extending and
changing the toolset used for FLOSS development, and redefining what a
software forge looks like. The main contributions of this paper are to
describe each of these tools, to identify the data and artifacts
available for mining from these tools, and to outline some of the ways
researchers can use these artifacts to continue to understand how FLOSS
is made.},

approaches, including Team Project Based Learning (TPBL) and Process

Abstract = {Current computing systems comes with different power management and
profiling tools to run the system in its optimal state. Though the
hardware systems have advanced a lot in-terms of energy efficiency and
computing power, the software's energy and resources efficiency is still
lacking behind. In many cases due to poor/bad designing of software it
cannot utilize the hardware efficiently and end up a system with high
energy consumption. To address this issues software's need a careful
profiling in its development process to make the software efficient and
less resource hungry. In this paper we compared some of the profiling
tools available as Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) which are used
under Linux environment. These software tools uses different strategies
and have different accuracies in finding a system and software programs
behavior and its resource requirements. Their performance and resource
overheads such as memory, CPU, disk consumption were compared and
results are summarized for making the tools selection easier to
researchers and developers alike. Another important issue with these
tools are that, their reporting formats are not always easy to
understand and it makes them less user friendly.},

directed dependency networks in free and open-source software. In this
complex system, the intermediate scales of both the in-directed and
out-directed dependency networks follow a power-law trend (specifically
Zipf's law). Deviations from this feature are found both for the highly
linked nodes, and the poorly linked nodes. This is due to finite-size
effects in the networks, and the parameters needed to model finite-size
behaviour make a quantitative distinction between the in-directed and
out-directed networks. We also provide a model to describe the dynamic
evolution of the network, and account for its saturation in the
long-time limit.},

financial viability of an economy based on free software. But the
argument for free software derives its true normative weight from social
justice considerations: the evaluation of the basis for a software
economy should be guided by consideration of the social and cultural
states which are the ultimate goals of any economic arrangement. That
is, the software economy should be evaluated in light of its ability to
provide justice. We conclude with a discussion of possible avenues for

Abstract = {Some free software projects have been extremely successful. This rise to
prominence can be attributed to the high quality and suitability of the
software. This quality and suitability is achieved through an elaborate
peer-review process performed by a large community of users, who act as
co-developers to identify and correct software defects and add features.
Although this process is crucial to the success of free software
projects, there is more to the free software development than the
creation of a `bazaar'. In this paper we draw on existing free software
projects to define a lifecycle model for free software. This paper then
explores each phase of the lifecycle model and agrees that, while the
bazaar phase attracts the most attention, it is the initial modular
design that accommodates diverse interventions. Moreover, it is the
period of transition from the initial group to the larger community
based development that is crucial in determining whether a free software
project will succeed or fail.},

Abstract = {Proponents, of Free Software have argued that some of the most
established software engineering principles do not fully apply when
considered in an open, distributed approach. Among these principles,
``Brooks' Law{''} has been questioned in the Free Software context:
large teams of developers, contrary to the law, will not need an
increasingly growing number of communication channels. As advocates
claim, this is due to the internal characteristics of the Free Software
process: the high modularity of the code helps developers to work on
comparted sections, without the need to coordinate with all other
contriutors.
This paper examines Brooks' Law in a Free Software context, and it
studies the interaction of contributors to a large Free Software
project, KDE. The network of interactions is analyzed and a summary
term, the ``compaction{''}, is dynamically evaluated to test how the
coordination mechanism evolves over time in the project. This paper
argues that the claim of advocates holds true, but with limitations: in
the KDE project, the few initial developers needed a significant amount
of communication. The growth of KDE brought the need to break the number
of overall communication channels to a significant extent. Finally, an
established amount of 300 developers currently needs the same amount of
communication as when the developers were only 10. We interpret this
result by arguing that Brooks' Law holds true among the core developers
of any large Free Software project.},

Abstract = {Free software development involves the private creation of knowledge
freely available to the whole society. It is a socially responsible
activity by organizations that carry out it despite not being included

possibility of sectorial social responsibility reporting; to this end
key stakeholders and relevant indicators are identified. Delphi
methodology has been used with response from panel members chosen from
key players in the free software industry in Spain. Gaining
institutional recognition, opening to socially responsible investment
and synergies with quality policies are the main advantages for the
management of organizations that base their business on free software

Abstract = {The FLOSS software package is a flexible framework for ordered subset
analysis. FLOSS is specifically designed for use with the Merlin linkage
analysis package, but FLOSS can be used with any linkage analysis
software package that reports NPL Z-scores for each locus and family.
When FLOSS is used with the Merlin linkage analysis package, one can use
either non-parametric Z-scores or Kong and Cox linear allele sharing
model LOD scores. Monte Carlo P-values are calculated using a
permutation test with an efficient Besag-Clifford sequential stopping
rule. FLOSS also has a flexible tool for assigning family covariate
scores from Merlin input files. FLOSS includes user documentation and is
written in Java for easy portability. The FLOSS source code is
documented and designed to be extensible.},

Abstract = {In this work, a geophysical characterization of the subsoil of a civil
structure corresponding to the basement of a residential complex in
Bogot \& aacute;, Colombia was carried out, using the GPR technique. We
were chosen to establish the affectation caused by weeping willow (Salix
Babylonica) trees planted near the retaining wall of the structure's
foundation and its parking lot platforms. We acquired GPR profiles all
throughout the area of the internal part of the basement and the outer
retaining wall part. The pieces of equipment used were SIR 4000 and a HS
350 MHz center frequency antenna. The data presented a good and
consistent signal. High resolution subsoil images of up to 3m in depth
of the area below the parking lots were generated through the analysis
of information derived from the processing and interpretation of the
data. All of these were compared with information from geotechnical and
topographic studies of the area. The results obtained show that the
trees' roots are causing scour due to a drying effect of the subsoil,
which caused damage to the slab in the parking lot and on the retaining
wall.},

Abstract = {Open Source license is a prerequisite for open source software, which
regulates the use, modification, redistribution, and attribution of the
software. Open source license is crucial to the community development
and commercial interests of an OSS project, yet choosing a proper
license from hundreds of licenses remains challenging. Tools assisting
developers to understand the terms and pick the right license have been
emerging, while inferring license compatibility on the dependency tree
and satisfying the complex needs of developers are beyond the capability
of most of them. Thus we propose LicenseRec, an open source license
recommendation tool that helps to bridge the gap. LicenseRec performs
fine-grained license compatibility checks on OSS projects' code and
dependencies, and assists developers to choose the optimal license
through an interactive wizard with guidelines of three aspects: personal
open source style, business pattern, and community development. The
usefulness of LicenseRec is confirmed by the consistent positive
feedback from 10 software developers with academic and industrial
backgrounds. Our tool is accessible at https://licenserec.com and a
video showcasing the tool is available at https://video.licenserec.com.},

Abstract = {This paper presents a critical review of the design of innovation
surveys that follow the Oslo Manual standards, based on a series of case
studies in Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) companies. The main
objective of the article is to propose criteria for measuring innovation
in software that consider the specificities of the non-monetized
innovation generated in the FLOSS community, helping to overcome
relevant limitations of the current sectorial surveys based on the Oslo
Manual. We applied a qualitative analysis based on seven case studies in
FLOSS firms from Argentina, mainly through semi-structured interviews to
key informants. Such analysis was aimed to elucidate the nature and
particularities of the innovation processes and outcomes in the firms,
the characteristics of the collaboration with the community and its role
in the business model and innovation strategy of the organizations. The
main results of the empirical study are: a) a criticism of the monetary
conception of the predominant innovation in the manuals of the area and
b) on this basis emerges a series of recommendations to improve the
measurement of innovation through surveys in the software sector , such
as: the consideration of publicly released products and developments and
contributions to third-party products in the FLOSS community, the
incorporation of performance indicators of firms not based on sales from
innovation, and the consideration of innovation selection mechanisms
typical of FLOSS communities not based on their market impact.},

field modeling using spherical radial basis functions based on the
data-adaptive network design methodology},

Year = {2022},
Volume = {15},

Abstract = {This study introduces a novel open-source Python software package called
SRBF\_Soft for the high-resolution regional gravity field determination
using various spherical radial basis functions (SBRFs) in terms of point
mass, Poisson, and Poisson wavelet kernel. The modeling approach
considers residual gravity field functionals generated by the well-known
remove-compute-restore (RCR) technique where the long and short
wavelength parts of the gravity signal are provided by a global
geopotential model (GGM) and digital terrain model (DTM), respectively.
A new data-adaptive network design methodology called k-SRBF is used to
construct a network of SRBFs. The appropriate bandwidths (depths) are
chosen using the generalized cross-validation (GCV) technique. The
unknown SRBFs coefficients are estimated by applying the least-squares
method where the extended Gauss Markov Model (GMM) with additional prior
information is applied if the normal equation matrix is ill-conditioned.
In such a case, the optimal regularization parameter is determined by
variance component estimation (VCE). By utilizing parallel processing in
every stage of the RCR technique, including creating the design matrix,
the computational time is remarkably decreased relative to the number of
processors used in the modeling. The performance of the software has
been tested and validated in the Auvergne test area (France) on the
basis of real terrestrial gravity data. The differences between
estimated and observed height anomaly points (GNSS/leveling) amount to
about 3 cm in terms of standard deviation (STD) for all kernels
indicating that the SRBF\_Soft possesses the capability to be applied in
regional gravity field modeling as an efficient and reliable software.},

Abstract = {Developers participating in an open source software (OSS) project make
contributions to the project at different levels and aspects. Their
underlying technical interests, expertise, and working habits are
indirectly delineated by their personal contributions. This paper is to
discover the individualized contribution features of developers by
latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) approach. Dominant latent topics of
each developer and the corresponding topic coverage degree are extracted
from the source codes committed to the project repository, and such
topic model is validated to be feasible for representing the
individualized contribution features by statistics tests. Four types of
topic evolution patterns are observed from the commit history of a
developer. Temporal locality is partially exhibited in the topic
evolution but there usually exhibit drastic changes between
time-adjacent contributions of a developer. Respective proportions of
the four evolution patterns and the degree of temporal locality in the
topic evolution delineate a developer's individualized working habits in
the time dimension. It is also proved that the correlation among the
topic models of different developers is not equivalent to the real
social collaborations among them. The outcome of this study would help
OSS project coordinators get deep understanding on the work preferences
and behavioral patterns of team members, thus facilitate project
coordination activities such as task allocations.},

Abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) community has attracted a large number of
distributed developers to work together, e.g. reporting and discussing
issues as well as submitting and reviewing code. OSS developers create
links among development units (e.g. issues and pull requests in GitHub),
share their opinions and promote the resolution of development units.
Although previous work has examined the role of links in recommending
high-priority tasks and reducing resource waste, the understanding of
the actual usage of links in practice is still limited. To address the
research gap, we conduct an empirical study based on the 5W1H model and
data mining from five popular OSS projects on GitHub. We find that links
originating from a PR are more common than the other three types of
links, and links are more frequently created in Documentation. We also
find that average duration between development units' create time in a
link is half a year. We observed that link behaviors are very complex
and the duration of link increases with the complexity of link
structure. We also observe that the reasons of link are very different,
especially in P-P and I-I. Finally, future works are discussed in
conclusion.},

However, how to locate the desired resource efficiently and accurately

works barely focus on the semantic similarity by analyzing the software
itself, which often result in inappropriate ranking. In this paper, we
propose Dolphin, a global OSS search engine, which leverage the crowd
discussions around OSS across communities for optimizing software
ranking. Dolphin employs the crowd wisdom as an important factor and
combines it with the semantic similarity to optimize search results
ranking. We implement an OSS search engine based on the proposed
approach, which provides online service continuously. Extensive
experiments and user studies suggest the effectiveness of our approach.},

Abstract = {Sequential risk mitigation is a three-phase process designed to: (1)
reduce the ecological and human health risks posed by highly
contaminated sediments through confinement or capping; (2) reduce the
risks associated with moderate levels of pollution on a less urgent
schedule and at lower cost; and (3) address areas of limited
contamination through a combination of natural attenuation and enhanced
natural attenuation. Natural attenuation has as its basis the
observation that ecosystem recovery appears to be largely a function of
time. Sediment decomposition and the mixing of old sediments by
bottom-dwelling organisms contribute to reduced contaminant
concentrations. Knowledge of these processes is critical to the
development of ecosystem recovery and waste management strategies. To
evaluate the applicability of natural attenuation, information should be
collected to determine whether surface sediment chemical concentrations
will reach cleanup standards within a 10-year period through a
combination of natural attenuation and adequate source control.
The remedial design for the Thea Foss Waterway Superfund Site in Tacoma,
Washington, employs the sequential risk mitigation approach. The EPA has
selected a remedy involving natural attenuation (21 acres {[}8.4
hectares]), enhanced natural attenuation (4 acres {[}1.6 hectares]),
dredging (650,000 cubic yards {[}494,000 cubic meters]), and capping (30
acres {[}12 hectares]) of this 8,000-foot (2,438-meter)-long waterway.
The dredged material will be disposed of in a near-shore confined
disposal facility. Specialized design elements include sorbent capping
of active oil seeps, about 400 feet (122 meters) of permanent sheet pile
bulkhead, and other features related to long-term monitoring of the
remedy and to controlling contaminant sources.},

Abstract = {It is said that due to the peculiar dynamics of FLOSS communities,
effective participation in their projects is a privileged way to acquire
the relevant skills and expertise in software development. Such is
probably the reason for a number of higher education institutions to
include in their Software Engineering curricula some form of contact
with the FLOSS reality. This paper explores such a perspective through
an on-going case study on university students' collaboration in FLOSS
projects. The aim of this research is to 1) identify what should be
learnt about software development through regular participation in a
FLOSS project/community, and 2) assess the didactic potential of this
kind of non-standard learning experiences. To this aim we resorted to a
participatory research action approach and qualitative methods, namely
case studies combining direct observation and interviews.},

Title = {FRED (A Framework for Reconstructing Epidemic Dynamics): an open-source
software system for modeling infectious diseases and control strategies
using census-based populations},
Journal = {BMC PUBLIC HEALTH},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {13},
Month = {OCT 8},
Abstract = {Background: Mathematical and computational models provide valuable tools
that help public health planners to evaluate competing health
interventions, especially for novel circumstances that cannot be
examined through observational or controlled studies, such as pandemic
influenza. The spread of diseases like influenza depends on the mixing
patterns within the population, and these mixing patterns depend in part
on local factors including the spatial distribution and age structure of
the population, the distribution of size and composition of households,
employment status and commuting patterns of adults, and the size and age
structure of schools. Finally, public health planners must take into
account the health behavior patterns of the population, patterns that
often vary according to socioeconomic factors such as race, household
income, and education levels.
Results: FRED (a Framework for Reconstructing Epidemic Dynamics) is a
freely available open-source agent-based modeling system based closely
on models used in previously published studies of pandemic influenza.
This version of FRED uses open-access census-based synthetic populations
that capture the demographic and geographic heterogeneities of the
population, including realistic household, school, and workplace social
networks. FRED epidemic models are currently available for every state
and county in the United States, and for selected international
locations.
Conclusions: State and county public health planners can use FRED to
explore the effects of possible influenza epidemics in specific
geographic regions of interest and to help evaluate the effect of
interventions such as vaccination programs and school closure policies.
FRED is available under a free open source license in order to
contribute to the development of better modeling tools and to encourage
open discussion of modeling tools being used to evaluate public health
policies. We also welcome participation by other researchers in the
further development of FRED.},

Title = {PyOECP: A flexible open-source software library for estimating and
modeling the complex permittivity based on the open-ended coaxial probe
(OECP) technique},
Journal = {COMPUTER PHYSICS COMMUNICATIONS},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {282},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {We present PyOECP, a Python-based flexible open-source software for
estimating and modeling the complex permittivity obtained from the
open-ended coaxial probe (OECP) technique. The transformation of the
measured reflection coefficient to complex permittivity is performed
based on three different methods. The software library contains the
dielectric spectra of common reference liquids, which can be used to
transform the reflection coefficient into the dielectric spectra.
Several Python routines that are commonly employed (e.g., SciPy and
NumPy) in the field of science and engineering are required only so that
the users can alter the software structure depending on their needs. The
modeling algorithm exploits the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method for the
data regression. The discrete relaxation models can be built by a proper
combination of well-known relaxation models. In addition to these
models, electrode polarization, a typical measurement artifact for
interpreting dielectric spectra, can be incorporated into the modeling
algorithm. A continuous relaxation model, which solves the Fredholm
integral equation of the first kind (a mathematically ill-posed
problem), is also included. This open-source software enables users to
freely adjust the physical parameters to obtain physical insight into
their materials under test and will be consistently updated for more
accurate measurement and interpretation of dielectric spectra in an
automated manner. This work describes the theoretical and mathematical
background of the software, lays out the workflow, and validates the
software functionality based on both synthetic and empirical data
included in the software. Program summary Program title: PyOECP 0.5 CPC

Numpy, Scipy, and Matplotlib Nature of problem: Estimate and interpret
the frequency-dependent (complex) permittivity in fluid(s) and their
mixtures based on the reflection coefficients obtained from the
open-ended coaxial probe (OECP) technique. The obtained dielectric
spectra can be useful for understanding the relaxation processes in an
arbitrary fluid. Solution method: The reflection coefficient data is
obtained as a text format from a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). This
text data is parsed into a Numpy array. Three different modules
(Stuchly, Marsland, and Komarov) can be used to transform the parsed
reflection coefficient data into complex permittivity as a function of
the measurement frequency. The resultant dielectric spectra can be
dissected and interpreted by fitting either discrete relaxation model(s)
based on the Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm or a continuous
relaxation model by applying the Zasetsky-Buchner method. (C) 2022

``Hannibal Bridge{''}, Italy},
Journal = {REMOTE SENSING},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {16},

Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {This paper investigates the impact of flood-induced hydrodynamic forces
and high discharge on the masonry arch ``Hannibal Bridge{''} (called
``Ponte di Annibale{''} in Italy) using the Hydraulic Engineering
Center's River Analysis Simulation (HEC-RAS) v6.5.0. hydraulic numerical
method, incorporating Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry and
aerial Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data for visual analysis. The
research highlights the highly transient behavior of fast flood flows,
particularly when carrying debris, and their effect on bridge
superstructures. Utilizing a Digital Elevation Model to extract
cross-sectional and elevation data, the research examined 23 profiles
over 800 m of the river. The results indicate that the maximum allowable
water depth in front of the bridge is 4.73 m, with a Manning's
coefficient of 0.03 and a longitudinal slope of 9 m per kilometer.
Therefore, a novel method to identify the risks through HEC-RAS modeling
significantly improves the conservation of masonry bridges by providing
precise topographical and hydrological data for accurate simulations.
Moreover, the detailed information obtained from LIDAR and UAV
photogrammetry about the bridge's materials and structures can be
incorporated into the conservation models. This comprehensive approach
ensures that preservation efforts are not only addressing the immediate
hydrodynamic threats but are also informed by a thorough understanding
of the bridge's structural and material conditions. Understanding rating
curves is essential for water management and flood forecasting, with the
study confirming a Manning roughness coefficient of 0.03 as suitable for
smooth open-channel flows and emphasizing the importance of
geomorphological conditions in hydraulic simulation.},

Journal = {DRONES},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {6},

Abstract = {In recent years, the performance of free-and-open-source software (FOSS)
for image processing has significantly increased. This trend, as well as
technological advancements in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
industry, have opened blue skies for both researchers and surveyors. In
this study, we aimed to assess the quality of the sparse point cloud
obtained with a consumer UAV and a FOSS. To achieve this goal, we also
process the same image dataset with a commercial software package using
its results as a term of comparison. Various analyses were conducted,
such as the image residuals analysis, the statistical analysis of GCPs
and CPs errors, the relative accuracy assessment, and the Cloud-to-Cloud
distance comparison. A support survey was conducted to measure 16
markers identified on the object. In particular, 12 of these were used
as ground control points to scale the 3D model, while the remaining 4
were used as check points to assess the quality of the scaling procedure
by examining the residuals. Results indicate that the sparse clouds
obtained are comparable. MicMac (R) has mean image residuals equal to
0.770 pixels while for Metashape (R) is 0.735 pixels. In addition, the
3D errors on control points are similar: the mean 3D error for MicMac
(R) is equal to 0.037 m with a standard deviation of 0.017 m, whereas
for Metashape (R), it is 0.031 m with a standard deviation equal to
0.015 m. The present work represents a preliminary study: a comparison
between software packages is something hard to achieve, given the
secrecy of the commercial software and the theoretical differences
between the approaches. This case study analyzes an object with
extremely complex geometry; it is placed in an urban canyon where the
GNSS support can not be exploited. In addition, the scenario changes
continuously due to the vehicular traffic.},

Abstract = {Bridges are among the most important structures of any road network.
During their service life, they are subject to deterioration which may
reduce their safety and functionality. The detection of bridge damage is
necessary for proper maintenance activities. To date, assessing the
health status of the bridge and all its elements is carried out by
identifying a series of data obtained from visual inspections, which
allows the mapping of the deterioration situation of the work and its
conservation status. There are, however, situations where visual
inspection may be difficult or impossible, especially in critical areas
of bridges, such as the ceiling and corners. In this contribution, the
authors acquire images using a prototype drone with a low-cost camera
mounted upward over the body of the drone. The proposed solution was
tested on a bridge in the city of Turin (Italy). The captured data was
processed via photogrammetric process using the opensource Micmac
solution. Subsequently, a procedure was developed with FOSS tools for
the segmentation of the orthophoto of the intrados of the bridge and the
automatic classification of some defects found on the analyzed
structure. The paper describes the adopted approach showing the
effectiveness of the proposed methodology.},

Abstract = {In this work, experimental studies of the internal structure of woven
fabric reinforced fiberglass and carbon fiber composite samples with
embedded optical fiber were carried out. It is known that for the
unidirectional composites the most significant distortion of the
structure of the host material takes place when the optical fiber is
embedded perpendicular to the direction of the reinforcement of the
composite material layers. However, the internal structure of the
composites with woven layer reinforcement scheme is significantly
different. And the embedding of such a foreign object as an optical
fiber can cause a basically other, as compared to unidirectional
composites, change in the internal structure. Cross-sectional studies
were performed using an optical microscope. The analysis of
cross-sections of PCM samples was carried out with the aim of studying
the changes in the structure of the layered composite with woven fabric
reinforcement due to the embedding of the fiber-optic sensors. A
comparison of the obtained images showed that the microstructure of the
studied samples is better seen on polished surfaces. In the absence of
polishing on a number of samples, the optical fiber is not visually
noticeable or poorly distinguishable. Analysis of the obtained images
showed that there is an insignificant distortion of the internal
structure of the material in the area with embedded optical fiber
without the formation of a resin pocket for all studied GFRP samples. At
the same time, when analyzing CFRP samples, the effect of embedding of
the optical fiber on the microstructure of the composite was not
observed. 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.},

Abstract = {This paper presents our work towards a fully functioning platform for
pervasive service engineering in an operational support services (OSS)
context for an ICT service provider. The focus of the paper lies in a
proof-of-concept for a novel means to develop and execute pervasive
services, with simplicity and maintainability as prime drivers. The
essence of this approach is the novel integration of the policy-based
management (PBM) techniques and the model-driven architecture (MDA)
techniques for specifying pervasive services and their behaviour,
together with auto-generation of middleware implementation and policy
enablement. The presence of policies provides pervasive services with
the high flexibility and adaptability needed for dealing with changing
environments and resource availabilities, while the introduction of MDA
for defining pervasive service information models fundamentally solves
the information modelling puzzle of current policy-based approaches.
Additionally, MDA's middleware-neutral feature benefits the smooth
evolution of pervasive services as a piece of software artefact in the
face of heterogeneous devices and platforms. A preliminary case study
has demonstrated the practical feasibility and benefits of this
approach. The case study revolves around an ICT service called TEANU -
transparent enterprise access for nomadic user. The service provides a
means for nomadic users to maintain a secure access to their enterprise
network in the presence of multiple access network providers with
different service level guarantees.},

Abstract = {In the last few decades, the Open Source Software (OSS) diffusion has
grown remarkably in companies. In this context, the present study has
analyzed the factors that incentivize OSS implementations for enterprise
purposes, linking two perspectives: (1) managerial and (2) educational.
Thus, the Delphi methodology was applied to a panel of experts with two
aims: (1) to know managers' perceptions about organizational users'
motivations toward OSS after receiving OSS training and (2) to develop a
forecasting study to examine the OSS diffusion in the medium term in
companies and educational centers. In this context, the
Self-Determination Theory (SDT) was the theoretical approach through
which we identified the motivational factors. Specifically, three SDT
motivations were added: (1) autonomy, (2) competence and (3)
relatedness. The 104 selected experts were managers from companies with
employees who have studied in educational centers where OSS usage is
mandatory. The results show that managers perceive that OSS training
incentivizes OSS implementations in companies. At the same time, user
motivations are considered to be extremely relevant, especially
autonomy. In addition, is the results foresee a similar level of OSS
implementation in the business and educational fields in the medium
term. Finally, conclusions, practical implications and limitations are
discussed.},

Abstract = {We study how OSS project owners can manage their repositories so as to
motivate particularly high-skilled coders to exert continuous effort
after joining a project. Drawing on literature from personnel economics,
we lay out how coders' skill level affects their selection for a focal
project in the first place. In turn, we theorize how projectspecific
norms and quality aspirations that developers learn about after joining
an OSS project represent treatments that varyingly entice developers to
contribute more code conditional on their skill level. Based on a
custom-tailored dataset merging GitHub and Stack Overflow data for
almost 50,000 contributor-project-month observations, we find that
repository owners are able to motivate their most talented volunteer
contributors when they (1) show no visible commercial orientation while
managing their projects, (2) show generosity in accepting external
contributions, and (3) provide fast feedback. We discuss implications
for research and practice in the fields of community-based organizations
like OSS as well as personnel economics.},

Abstract = {Prediction of developers' programming behaviors is an effective way to
improve their development efficiency and optimize the organization of
project modules and files. However, little research exists investigating
on this direction. In order to address this knowledge gap, we proposed a
NLP-based approach to predict the programming behaviors in OSS (Open
Source Software) communities. The proposed approach i) embeds the
historical programming behavior data of a project into a
multi-dimensional vector space to capture the potential laws in the
data, ii) forms an eigenvector matrix reflecting the semantic
relationship of the development behavior data, and predicts the next
programming behavior of a specific developer based on the eigenvector
matrix. Our experiments on five OSS projects show that the prediction
accuracy rate of the proposed prediction approach can reach up to about
50\%, indicating that it can summarize the development behavior data law
and effectively predict the programming behavior of developers. Our work
can provide valuable assistance for developers' programming and
projects' maintenance in practice.},

Abstract = {Filament-wound composite cylinders are used in the marine and
transportation industries for storing breathing gases (SCUBA,
firefighter tanks) and gaseous fuels (vehicles). These cylinders offer
light weight, corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, and the
ability to store more air than equivalent metal tanks. The design
methodology currently used for composite tanks, however, cannot yet
guarantee their safe operation. Accordingly, the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) is unable to issue full certification of
filament-wound tanks. Rather, some types of composite pressure tanks
currently are manufactured under DOT Exemption, TC Regulation 3FCM. The
composite tank industry would benefit by improving the safety of
operating these tanks.
The interest in developing composite pressure tanks is here and the
manufacturing technology is mature. What is needed, however, is a means
of insuring that composite tanks are as safe to operate as metal tanks.
This will facilitate DOT certification and appeal to consumers. This
paper discusses a fiber optic sensor system embedded into the composite
shell wall as a structural health monitor. Using a simple, low-cost
optical fiber sensor and a modified commercial connector, ``smart{''}
tanks can be monitored continuously for structural integrity. The
opportunity to provide such continuity in structural health monitoring
should have a significant positive impact on obtaining DOT
certifications and extending product useful life.
This paper presents the results of a design program to develop a new
filament-wound composite cylinder containing a fiber-optic sensor system
(FOSS). The purpose of FOSS is to monitor the structural integrity of
the composite material each time the tank is refilled with pressurized
gas. Continuous monitoring for material degradation will be an important
factor that determines tank recertification intervals and useful tank
life.
One of the greatest challenges of this design program has been to
develop an optical connector that allows external instrumentation to be
``plugged into{''} the composite wall to read optical signals that
correlate with structural health. ``While embedding fiber sensors has
become routine, ingress to and egress from the embedded units remain a
major stumbling block{''} (Spillman, 1995). A simple modification to a
commercial connector is proposed for this application.
The design and manufacture of the prototype FOSS cylinder shown in
Figure 1 are described in this paper. Connector performance and the
overall performance of a prototype Type III tank consisting of an
aluminum liner, an E-glass/epoxy filament-wound overwrap, and an
embedded FOSS are discussed. Results of a pressure test to assess FOSS
performance are presented.},

Abstract = {Network Automation seeks to integrate software solutions that aid in the
management and maintenance of modern networks. In industry, large
organizations see dedicated software engineering resources within a
networking team. However, in the broader industry, it is more common to
see traditional network engineers working on network automation. With
the growth of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), network automation
software solutions also started to adhere to this development model.
However, as it is known from the literature, onboarding to FOSS projects
is not a trivial task and may be more challenging for people without a
software development background. In this paper, we study network
automation FOSS projects, which are seeing a large number of new
contributors who do not have traditional software engineering skills. We
analyze a set of data collected from pull requests and issues collected
from 81 GitHub projects (71 network automation projects, and 10
top-projects from other domains), to identify the characteristics that
are specific to first-time project contributors in the network
automation domain. Our results show that pull requests in the Network
Automation domain differ from those in the Top-10 set and the existing
literature. At the same time that Network Automation projects are more
inclusive (rejection rate: 12\% vs. 28\% on Top-10), the pull request
latency is longer in this specific domain, especially for first-timers.},

Abstract = {Many computer science programs have capstone experiences or project
courses that allow students to integrate knowledge from the full breadth
of their major. Such capstone projects may be student-designed,
instructor-designed, designed in conjunction with outside companies, or
integrated with ongoing free and open source (FOSS) projects. The
literature shows that the FOSS approach has attracted a great deal of
interest, in particular when implemented with projects that have
humanitarian goals (HFOSS). In this article, we describe five unique
models from five distinct types of institutions for incorporating
sustained FOSS or HFOSS (alternatively H/FOSS) project work into
capstone experiences or courses. The goal is to provide instructors
wishing to integrate open source experiences into their curriculum with
additional perspectives and resources to help in adapting this approach
to the specific needs and goals of their institution and students. All
of the models presented are based on sustained engagement with H/FOSS
projects that last at least one semester and often more. Each model is
described in terms of its characteristics and how it fits the needs of
the institution using the model. Assessment of each model is also
presented. We then discuss the themes that are common across the models,
such as project selection, team formation, mentoring, and student
assessment. We examine the choices made by each model, as well as the
challenges faced. We end with a discussion how the models have leveraged
institutional initiatives and collaborations with outside organizations
to address some of the challenges associated with these projects.},

Abstract = {The vast majority of literature on coordination in team-based projects
has drawn on a conceptual separation between explicit (e.g. plans,
feedback) and implicit coordination mechanisms (e.g. mental maps, shared
knowledge). This analytic distinction presents some limitations in
explaining how coordination is reached in organizations characterized by
distributed teams, scarce face to face meetings and fuzzy and changing
lines of authority, as in free/libre open source software (FLOSS)
development.
Analyzing empirical illustrations from two FLOSS projects, we highlight
the existence of a peculiar model, stigmergic coordination, which
includes aspects of both implicit and explicit mechanisms. The work
product itself (implicit) and the characteristics under which it is
shared (explicit) play an under-appreciated role in helping software
developers manage dependencies as they arise. We develop this argument
beyond the existing literature by working with an existing coordination
framework, considering the role that the codebase itself might play at
each step. We also discuss the features and the practices to support
stigmergic coordination in distributed teams, as well as recommendations
for future research. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Thousands of these projects are collaboratively driven by communities

methods allow to manage such systems of collaborative development and
constant change. But as this work shows, the agile approach not only
provides chances in open settings. A variety of challenges occur that
need to be considered. The case of Catrobat, a Free/Libre Open Source
project, shows that although open source development and agile methods
evolved over the last years, the dynamics of open communities still
challenge the agile way. However, evaluating and understanding these
dynamics, as well as introducing agile elements, such as the role of
product owners, can be beneficial for managing open systems and to drive
it into a common direction together with the contributors.},

Abstract = {Software engineering education has long sought to provide students with
real-world software development and professional experience. The use of
Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects is one attractive approach
for providing students with easy access to a complex, ongoing project of
size that is supported by a professional community. Humanitarian FOSS
(HFOSS) projects hold the additional appeal to students of developing
software that will benefit the human condition. However, student
involvement in HFOSS projects can be somewhat unpredictable and less
controllable than the development of home-grown projects or projects
with an industry partner. Student participation in an HFOSS project
means that students are dependent, at least somewhat, on the goals,
schedule, and constraints of the HFOSS project itself. Therefore,
learning is somewhat reliant on the progress of the HFOSS project. This
paper presents results of a multi-year study of student perceptions of
learning related to software engineering knowledge and skills while
involved in an HFOSS project. The paper includes a background of work in
student participation in HFOSS, an outline of the study approach and an
explanation of the results. Implications of the results and future
directions are also described.},

Abstract = {Many researchers have stressed out the socio-economic changes caused by
the emergence and rapid diffusion of Open Source Software (OSS). It is
without doubt that an increasing number of software and hardware vendors
are investing significant amounts in open Source software in a number of
ways. This may be due primarily to the fact that open source ultimately
produces greater value on both the use and production sides, implying an
impact on welfare. This chapter attempts a holistic approach on the
analysis of the OSS phenomenon and its impact on welfare. The main
entities of the OSS ecosystem are identified and analysed under the
scope of the main factors affecting welfare: innovation, competition and
productivity. For that purpose an all encompassing model of the OSS
ecosystem is created to reflect the interactions among its entities as
well as the direct and indirect effects on welfare factors. Innovation
and productivity are promoted by the accumulation of knowledge and human
capital input by individuals as well as by enterprises. OSS as an
innovative mode of production has created market opportunities and new
sustainable business models, creating the appropriate conditions for new
entrances and a raise in competition in the software market. To support
this, a market concentration index, the HHI index, is tested over the
case of web servers. As a result the study reveals that under the
appropriate conditions, OSS call have a positive impact on welfare.},

Month = {JUL},
Abstract = {Context: The selection and adoption of open source software can
significantly influence the competitiveness of organisations. Open
source software solutions offer great opportunities for cost reduction
and quality improvement, especially for small and medium enterprises
that typically have to address major difficulties due to the limited
resources available for selecting and adopting a new software system.
Objective: This paper aims to provide support for selecting the open
source software that is most suitable to the specific needs of an
enterprise from among the options offering equivalent or overlapping
functionality.
Method: This paper proposes a framework for evaluating the quality and
functionality of open source software systems. The name of the framework
is EFFORT (Evaluation Framework for Free/Open souRce projecTs). It
supports the evaluation of product quality, community trustworthiness
and product attractiveness. The framework needs to be customised to the
analysis of software systems for a specific context.
Results: The paper presents the customisation of EFFORT for evaluating
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) open source software systems. The
customised framework was applied to the evaluation and comparison of
five ERP open source software systems. The results obtained permitted
both the refinement of the measurement framework and the identification
of the ERP open source software system that achieved the highest score
for each chosen characteristic.
Conclusion: EFFORT is a useful tool for evaluating and selecting an open
source software system. It may significantly reduce the amount of
negotiation conducted among an enterprise's members and reduce the time
and cost required for gathering and interpreting data. The EFFORT
framework also considers the users' opinions by introducing relevance
markers associated with the metrics and questions in the data
aggregation process. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

elevation model), widely used in environmental and civil engineering,
and particularly in hydrology. The computation requirements increase
exponentially as the size DEM increases, limiting the applications when
a fast analysis is necessary. This is specially noticeably when working
with multiple flow direction (MFD) drainage networks. Nowadays, some
solutions have been explored, but focusing on Graphical Processing Units

advantage that uses free software such as Octave and MPI wrap for it.
Our parallelized algorithm not only improved the time computation but
also allows adaptive behavior to different cluster settings. (C) 2016

telecommunications system vendor view to COTS and OSS component
integration. The paper is based on semi-structured interviews held both
at component supplying and integrating companies in Finland. The
following embedded COTS and OSS acquisition, integration and maintenance
dimensions were identified: Vision and strategy, business and markets,
software engineering processes, software engineering environments and
collaboration approaches. The paper describes the main characteristics
of each dimension. The paper focuses on the collaboration approaches and
especially on the information and knowledge exchange between a system
vendor and all of the component suppliers.},

Abstract = {Development of rifle electronic simulators (i.e. for hand weapons and
not using ammunition) is an important task, since the production of any
type of small arms according to regulatory documents also requires the
production of a simulator to instill aiming and firing skills. A family
of electronic shooting simulators ``STrIzh{''} of four levels of
implementation: initial, basic, professional and special is described.
Structural diagrams of different configurations are given, functional
purpose and capabilities of each level of simulators are shown. The
initial level allows independent assemble the simulator from publicly
available elements (laptop, webcam, weapon layouts, IR LEDs), which can
contribute to widespread use both in schools and at home, but is low in
accuracy and manufacturabili (requires daily calibration). The basic
level also allows independent assemble the simulator, and less publicly
available elements (laptop, projector, mockup weapons, laser emitters,
FHD camera), which allows to be used both in schools and in DOSAAF
structures, and has acceptable accuracy and manufacturability (a weekly
calibration is enough, but assembling a mock-up weapon with laser
emitters requires adjustments). It is recommended to limit the special
level to virtual reality simulators, including a helmet with a
smartphone and a mockup of a weapon with its smartphone which also
contributes to its public availability and widespread use. The simulator
software algorithm should fully support all implementation levels with
different configurations and include a multimedia shooting training
system. Mathematical models of external ballistics of thrown equipment
for Kalashnikov assault rifle, Makarov pistol, hand-held anti-tank
grenade launcher 7 products are described in detail, taking into account
changes in atmospheric factors (temperature, air pressure, wind force)
and dispersion of various types of ammunition. The above review of rifle
simulators and their experience revealed the main trends of improvement
- use of virtual reality and training not only direct shooting skills,
but also training in the eligibility of the use of weapons, safe
handling of them and even tactical interaction in the group.},

Abstract = {We have developed the Optimisation Support System (OSS), a spatial
decision support system, to deliver optimal solutions to the problem of
identifying comprehensive, adequate and representative locations for
conservation planning.
The South Australian Government is committed to establishing a
comprehensive, adequate and representative system of 19 marine protected
areas (MPAs) by 2010. Each MPA will be the target for detailed
investigations into its biophysical, ecological, social, economic and
cultural assets. The aim is to use this information to delineate each
MPA into a series of zones that offer various levels of protection and
use. At the highest level all marine use and extraction activities will
be excluded to allow maximum protection of species diversity and
habitat. Community consultation and collaboration is therefore critical
for successful MPA establishment. A demand exists for the development of
a process that allows public participation within a conservation
planning environment.
The concept of excluding certain activities, including recreational
fishing, has generated much interest in the local media. Recent
headlines such as `Calls to Shelve Marine Parks', `Anglers Fight For
Future of Jetty Fishing' and `330+ Submissions on MPA Proposal'
demonstrate the importance of open consultation and the need to provide
an inclusive and transparent decision-making process for the design of
MPAs. A decision support tool can facilitate decision-making within a
negotiating and conflict resolution environment.
We have collated and processed a large database of spatial layers
describing the biophysical and human-use features of the marine
environment. The biophysical data was then used to identify surrogate
ecological regions within the Encounter Pilot MPA. The datasets were
categorised into classes describing bathymetry, sea surface temperature,
chlorophyll `a' concentration levels, benthic and coastal habitat types,
and shoreline exposure and type. Locations that most efficiently
represent these surrogates of biodiversity were selected using a common
mathematical integer programming optimisation algorithm.
Established conservation planning principles underpin this research.
Inputs into OSS are a suite of environmental, social, cultural and
economic datasets. Optimal solutions are found using integer programming
algorithms. Implementation is within a Geographic Information System
environment (ESRI's ArcGIS) and third-party commercial software (ILOG's
CPLEX) provides the optimisation engine. The user interface of OSS can
be accessed through a toolbar button and comprises a series of input
modules. Fields are quick and easy to populate and in many cases are
read directly from an ArcGIS map document Table of Contents. Solutions
are found in less than 1 minute when using datasets described in this
paper
OSSThis paper briefly demonstrates the application of systematic
conservation planning to optimal MPA design and the development of OSS,
and explores options for public participation. We demonstrate how OSS
and systematic conservation planning can be taken to the wider community
to produce on-the-fly outputs. Our novel approach has the potential to
build partnerships with community groups and give the community a sense
of ownership in the decision-making process. It is more likely that
conflicts will be minimised and negotiation hastened for a better MPA
zoning outcome for all.},

Abstract = {Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) practitioners and developers are
typically also users of their own systems: as a result, traditional
software engineering (SE) processes (e.g., the requirements and design
phases), take less time to articulate and negotiate among FLOSS
developers. Design and requirements are kept more as informal knowledge,
rather than formally described and assessed. This paper attempts to
recover the SE concepts of software design and architectures from three
FLOSS case studies, sharing the same application domain (i.e., Instant
Messaging). Its first objective is to determine whether a common
architecture emerges from the three systems, which can be used as shared
knowledge for future applications. The second objective is to determine
whether these architectures evolve or decay during the evolution of
these systems. The results of this study are encouraging: albeit no
explicit effort was done by FLOSS developers to define a high-level view
of the architecture, a common shared architecture could be distilled for
the Instant Messaging application domain. It was also found that, for
two of the three systems, the architecture becomes better organised, and
the components better specified, as long as the system evolves in time.},

Abstract = {Previous studies of Object-Oriented (00) software have reported
avoidance of the inheritance mechanism and cast doubt on the wisdom of
`deep' inheritance levels. From an evolutionary perspective, the picture
is unclear - we still know relatively little about how, over time,
changes tend to be applied by developers. Our conjecture is that an
inheritance hierarchy will tend to grow `breadth-wise' rather than
`depth-wise'. This claim is made on the basis that developers will avoid
extending depth in favour of breadth because of the inherent complexity
of having to understand the functionality of superclasses. Thus the goal
of our study is to investigate this empirically. We conduct an empirical
study of seven Java Open-Source Systems (OSSs) over a series of releases
to observe the nature and location of changes within the inheritance
hierarchies. Results showed a strong tendency for classes to be added at
levels one and two of the hierarchy (rather than anywhere else). Over
96\% of classes added over the course of the versions of all systems
were at level I or level 2. The results suggest that changes cluster in
the shallow levels of a hierarchy; this is relevant for developers since
it indicates where remedial activities such as refactoring should be
focused.},

all, in practice, female contributors often face discriminatory barriers
to contribution. Aims: In this paper, we examine the extent to which
these problems still exist. We also study male and female contributors'

15 FLOSS projects, asking a series of open-ended, closed-ended, and
behavioral scale questions to gather information about the issue of
gender in FLOSS projects. Results: Though many of those we surveyed
expressed a positive sentiment towards females who participate in FLOSS
projects, some were still strongly against their inclusion. Often, the
respondents who were against inclusiveness also believed their own
sentiments were the prevailing belief in the community, contrary to our
findings. Others did not see the purpose of attempting to be inclusive,
expressing the sentiment that a discussion of gender has no place in
FLOSS. Conclusions: FLOSS projects have started to move forwards in
terms of gender acceptance. However, there is still a need for more
progress in the inclusion of gender-diverse contributors.},

Abstract = {When inspiring software developers to contribute to open source
software, the act is often referenced as an opportunity to build tools
to support the developer community. However, that is not the only charge
that propels contributions-growing interest in open source has also been
attributed to software developers deciding to use their technical skills
to benefit a common societal good. To understand how developers identify
these projects, their motivations for contributing, and challenges they
face, we conducted 21 semi-structured interviews with OSS for Social
Good (OSS4SG) contributors. From our interview analysis, we identified
themes of contribution styles that we wanted to understand at scale by
deploying a survey to over 5765 OSS and Open Source Software for Social
Good contributors. From our quantitative analysis of 517 responses, we
find that the majority of contributors demonstrate a distinction between
OSS4SG and OSS. Likewise, contributors described definitions based on
what societal issue the project was to mitigate and who the outcomes of
the project were going to benefit. In addition, we find that OSS4SG
contributors focus less on benefiting themselves by padding their resume
with new technology skills and are more interested in leaving their mark
on society at statistically significant levels. We also find that OSS4SG
contributors evaluate the owners of the project significantly more than
OSS contributors. These findings inform implications to help
contributors identify high societal impact projects, help project
maintainers reduce barriers to entry, and help organizations understand
why contributors are drawn to these projects to sustain active
participation.},

feature updates and bug fixes from OSS communities. However, when we
customize the OSS and do not return the changes back to the OSS

makes it difficult to apply forthcoming OSS updates since we need to
grasp the software changes appropriately. We propose a method to
visualize software's structural differences using call graph. We have
applied the method to a product development process and found that our
method helps developers to speed up the application of OSS updates and
reduce update errors. We have also found that solely providing call
graph is insufficient for them to check the differences. They need more
detailed information, e.g. data flow, as well as a guide to utilize the
difference information to resolve the conflicts.},

Title = {Development of a REDCap-based workflow for high-volume relational data
analysis on real-time data in a medical department using open source
software},
Journal = {COMPUTER METHODS AND PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICINE},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {226},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {Background/Aim: The current availability of large volumes of clinical
data has provided medical departments with the opportunity for
large-scale analyses, but it has also brought forth the need for an
effective strategy of data-storage and data-analysis that is both
technically feasible and economically sustainable in the context of
limited resources and manpower. Therefore, the aim of this study was to
develop a widely-usable data-collection and data-analysis workflow that
could be applied in medical departments to perform high-volume
relational data analysis on real-time data.
Methods: A sample project, based on a research database on
prostate-specific-membrane-antigen/positron-emission-tomography scans
performed in prostate cancer patients at our department, was used to
develop a new workflow for data-collection and data-analysis. A
checklist of requirements for a successful data-collection/analysis
strategy, based on shared clinical research experience, was used as
reference standard. Software libraries were selected based on widespread
availability, reliability, cost, and technical expertise of the research
team (REDCap-v11.0.0 for collaborative data-collection, Python-v3.8.5
for data retrieval and SQLite-v3.31.1 for data storage).
The primary objective of this study was to develop and implement a
workflow to: a) easily store large volumes of structured data into a
relational database, b) perform scripted analyses on relational data
retrieved in real-time from the database. The secondary objective was to
enhance the strategy cost-effectiveness by using open-source/cost-free
software libraries.
Results: A fully working data strategy was developed and successfully
applied to a sample research project. The REDCap platform provided a
remote and secure method to collaboratively collect large volumes of
standardized relational data, with low technical difficulty and
role-based access-control. A Python software was coded to retrieve live
data through the REDCap-API and persist them to an SQLite database,
preserving data-relationships. The SQL-language enabled complex datasets
retrieval, while Python allowed for scripted data computation and
analysis. Only cost-free software libraries were used and the sample
code was made available through a GitHub repository.
Conclusions: A REDCap-based data-collection and data-analysis workflow,
suitable for high-volume relational data-analysis on live data, was
developed and successfully implemented using open-source software. (C)

Abstract = {The free software concept implies the freedom to run, copy, distribute,
study, change and improve software. As part of the Brazilian government
initiative, the Brazilian Public Software (BPS) Portal proposes a model
to share all of the software development artifacts produced by its
public institutions. This paper describes the architecture and tools
that are intended to deal with the semantic aspects of service sharing
within the context of BPS. The architecture is based on the
collaborative elaboration of domain reference ontologies, which can be
used in the development of new services within the portal. Finally, a
hypothetical scenario will be used to describe the architecture and
tools.},

Abstract = {The ability to correctly track objects in time-lapse sequences is
important in many applications of microscopy. Individual object motions
typically display a level of dynamic regularity reflecting the existence
of an underlying physics or biology. Best results are obtained when this
local information is exploited. Additionally, if the particle number is
known to be approximately constant, a large number of tracking scenarios
may be rejected on the basis that they are not compatible with a known
maximum particle velocity. This represents information of a global
nature, which should ideally be exploited too. Some time ago, we devised
an efficient algorithm that exploited both types of information. The
tracking task was reduced to a max-flow min-cost problem instance
through a novel graph structure that comprised vertices representing
objects from three consecutive image frames. The algorithm is explained
here for the first time. A user-friendly implementation is provided, and
the specific relaxation mechanism responsible for the method's
effectiveness is uncovered. The software is particularly competitive for
complex dynamics such as dense antiparallel flows, or in situations
where object displacements are considerable. As an application, we
characterize a remarkable vortex structure formed by bacteria engaged in
interstitial motility.},

Abstract = {User eXperience (UX) significantly influences the success of free and

them are limited. The analysis is ad hoc and based on the actors ` will

Findings show that UX experts agreed that the lenses could be used with
a consensus percentage of 81 \%, the threshold value (d) = 0.112, and
crisp values greater than alpha-cut = 0.5. On validation, 47.57 \% of
stakeholders agreed, and 52.43 \% strongly agreed they were relevant.
Results help evaluate the status quo and change culture and policies
toward ideal preparation. Two areas are suggested for future research.},

paper introduces a new free software tool that implements one of these

to be expressed by triangular fuzzy elements. The classical non-fuzzy
methods based on the eigenvectors or the geometric means are also
supported in the software. The presented software has been written as a
web application, which means that it is available from any computer
connected to the Internet without need to install any additional
software. The presented tool makes it possible to design the (fuzzy)
pair-wise comparison matrix in a user-friendly way, and to derive the
priority vector from it. Various consistency indicators are also
calculated.},

Title = {Dynamics of innovation in an ``open source{''} collaboration
environment: lurking, laboring, and launching FLOSS projects on
SourceForge},
Journal = {INDUSTRIAL AND CORPORATE CHANGE},
Year = {2008},
Volume = {17},
Number = {4},
Pages = {647-710},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {A systems analysis perspective is adopted to examine the critical
properties of the Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) mode of
innovation, as reflected on the SourceForge platform (SF.net). This
approach re-scales Marchs (1991) framework and applies it to
characterize the innovation system of a distributed organization of
interacting agents in a virtual collaboration environment, rather than
to innovation within a firm. March (1991) views the process of
innovation at the organizational level as the coupling of sub-processes
of exploration and exploitation. Correspondingly, the innovation system
of the virtual collaboration environment represented by SF.net is an
emergent property of two coupled processes: one involves the
interactions among agents searching the locale for information and
knowledge resources to use in designing novel software products (i.e.,
exploration), and the other involves the mobilization of individuals
capabilities for application in the software development projects that
become established on the platform (i.e., exploitation). The
micro-dynamics of this system are studied empirically by constructing
transition probability matrices representing the movements of 222,835
SF.net users among seven different activity states, which range from
lurking (not contributing or contributing to projects without becoming a
member) to laboring (joining one or more projects as members), and to
launching (founding one or more projects) within each successive 6-month
interval. The estimated probabilities are found to form first-order
Markov chains describing ergodic processes. This makes it possible the
computation of the equilibrium distribution of agents among the states,
thereby suppressing transient effects and revealing persisting patterns
of project joining and project launching. The latter show the FLOSS
innovation process on SF.net to be highly dissipative: a very large
proportion of the registered developers fail to become even minimally
active on the platform. There is nevertheless an active core of mobile
project joiners, and a (still smaller) core of project founders who
persist in creating new projects. The structure of these groups
interactions (as displayed within the 3-year period examined) is
investigated in detail, and it is shown that it would be sufficient to
sustain both the exploration and exploitation phases of the platforms
global dynamics.},

Abstract = {The objective of this study was to verify if a development model of
Units of Learning (UoLs), supported by UoLs authoring tools, that meet
the usability criteria and abstract advanced knowledge in programming
language by the developers, effectively provides the use and
implementation of such resources by teachers in all areas of high school
(in this first phase of the research) with few skills with technology.
This is also due to the fact that many teachers consume much more
resources and also the difficulties faced by teachers and developers in
reusing their resources in other environments because they were
initially designed for a specific environment. The method was based on
the paradigm of Design Science Research (DSR), which allowed us to
understand the problem and solve it creatively from useful artifacts.
The three cycles of the research used questionnaires, interviews and
documentary collection as instruments of data collection of the first
cycle of survey and survey of the problem under study, while the
non-participant observation and questionnaires were used in the second
and third cycles at the time of evaluations of the system interfaces by
users. Suggestions for improvements were implemented in the Recreio,
while integrations to the Learning Management Systems (LMS) are being
developed. Preliminary results showed the importance of Recreio
incorporate tools of authorship of UoLs, preferably, free and online. In
addition, users' reports made explicit the need for a space for sharing
and dissemination of the resources developed directly in LMS, as well as
another space destined for exchanging experiences and learning with
courses among users.},

Abstract = {The features and theoretical background of a new and free computational
program for chemometric analysis denominated IMMAN (acronym for
Information theory-based CheMoMetrics ANalysis) are presented. This is
multi-platform software developed in the Java programming language,
designed with a remarkably user-friendly graphical interface for the
computation of a collection of information-theoretic functions adapted
for rank-based unsupervised and supervised feature selection tasks. A
total of 20 feature selection parameters are presented, with the
unsupervised and supervised frameworks represented by 10 approaches in
each case. Several information-theoretic parameters traditionally used
as molecular descriptors (MDs) are adapted for use as unsupervised
rank-based feature selection methods. On the other hand, a
generalization scheme for the previously defined differential Shannon's
entropy is discussed, as well as the introduction of Jeffreys
information measure for supervised feature selection. Moreover,
well-known information-theoretic feature selection parameters, such as
information gain, gain ratio, and symmetrical uncertainty are
incorporated to the IMMAN software (http://mobiosd-hub.com/imman-soft/),
following an equal-interval discretization approach. IMMAN offers data
pre-processing functionalities, such as missing values processing,
dataset partitioning, and browsing. Moreover, single parameter or
ensemble (multi-criteria) ranking options are provided. Consequently,
this software is suitable for tasks like dimensionality reduction,
feature ranking, as well as comparative diversity analysis of data
matrices. Simple examples of applications performed with this program
are presented. A comparative study between IMMAN and WEKA feature
selection tools using the Arcene dataset was performed, demonstrating
similar behavior. In addition, it is revealed that the use of IMMAN
unsupervised feature selection methods improves the performance of both
IMMAN and WEKA supervised algorithms.

Abstract = {George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss is obviously the result of generic
interferences, the diegesis borrowing a lot from the traditional family
saga, but also from the complex structure of classical tragedy, Eliot's
understanding of the direct social consequences of Darwin's theories,
and the oblique presence of the supernatural with the final overflowing
of the Floss. The Mill on the Floss is thus a novel whose structure is
wholly based on the blending of several types and subgenres. The novel
itself depends on the combination of several discourses, which enrich
each other and obliquely create the conditions of their compatibility.
The very end of the novel thus benefits from the melodramatic dimension
and tradition it seems to imitate, whereas the novel itself cannot be
termed a melodrama. In The Mill on the Floss, each subgenre directly
redefines George Eliot's novel and creates the possibility of the
blending of different genres and types.},

Abstract = {OSS/BSS-systems used by telecommunication companies to conduct their
business are a combination of several subsystems that closely interact
with each other. Since the activities of telecommunications companies
are related to the processing of personal data of individuals and legal
entities, such systems should be subjected to testing, which should
continue until the end of the life cycle. The huge size of
telecommunications companies' databases, as well as the number of tests
required to cover the entire functionality of OSS/BSS-systems are an
obstacle to conducting rapid testing. This article describes an approach
to testing organization that solves this problem, based on the selection
and keeping the test data up to date. The effectiveness of the proposed
approach has been demonstrated experimentally.},

Abstract = {Today, it is widely accepted that if refactoring is applied in practice,
it is mainly interweaved with normal software development - so called
``floss refactoring{''}. Unfortunately, the current state-of-the-art is
poorly equipped to mine floss refactoring from version histories, mainly
because they infer refactorings by comparing two snapshots of a system
and making educated guesses about the precise edit operations applied in
between. In this paper we propose a solution that reconstructs
refactorings not on snapshots of a system but using the actual changes
as they are performed in an integrated development environment. We
compare our solution against RefFinder and demonstrate that on a small
yet representative program (the well-known ``VideoRental system{''}) our
approach is more accurate in identifying occurrences of the
``MOVEMETHOD{''} and ``RENAMEMETHOD{''} refactorings.},

Abstract = {Epoxy resins are widely used to connect various structural elements made
of polymer composite materials. The integrity of the critical components
depends on the strength and durability of such compounds. At the same
time, epoxy resins have pronounced viscoelastic properties. An
experimental study was conducted of the possibility of using fiber-optic
strain sensors to register the viscoelastic behavior of materials. The
fiber Bragg grating (FBG) was used as a sensor. The main objectives of
this study were: registration of material creep (growth of strain with
time at constant external load) and subsequent (after removal of load)
recovery of strain using surface mounted and embedded fiber-optic strain
sensors.},

that the Marangoni effect can be taken into account, which is a main
driver of heat transfer in additive manufacturing processes that
comprise a melt pool. The solver surpasses the capabilities of similar
open-source projects by considering a wide range of physical effects,
e.g. multiple phases, melting, solidification, evaporation, and laser
beam heat sources with an arbitrary intensity distribution and thus
makes it an appealing framework, especially for the simulation of the
laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process. Herein, all relevant details and
derivation considering the Marangoni effect are provided and validated
by means of a benchmark problem by comparing the obtained results with
the available analytical solution, with the results obtained from a
commercial CFD tool and with the results of other authors. The modified
solver is additionally validated by comparing the results from LPBF
simulations with experimental data. Furthermore, the influence of the
surface tension modeling on the mushy region is investigated. The
optimized implementation shows improvements of the simulation results in
both the dimensions and shape of the melt pool and the resulting surface
with regard to the experimental data.},

Abstract = {Sustainability in Open Source Software (OSS) projects is crucial for
long-term innovation, community support, and the enduring success of
open-source solutions. Although multitude of studies have provided
effective models for OSS sustainability, their practical implications
have been lacking because most identified features are not amenable to
direct tuning by developers (e.g., levels of communication, number of
commits per project).
In this paper, we report on preliminary work toward making models more
actionable based on evidence-based findings from prior research. Given a
set of identified features of interest to OSS project sustainability, we
performed a comprehensive literature review related to those features to
uncover practical, evidence-based advice, which we call Researched
Actionables (ReACTs). The ReACTs are practical advice with specific
steps, found in prior work to associate with tangible results. Starting
from a set of sustainability-related features, this study contributes
105 ReACTs to the SE community by analyzing 186 published articles.
Moreover, this study introduces a newly developed tool (ReACTive)
designed to enhance the exploration of ReACTs through visualization
across various facets of the OSS ecosystem. The ReACTs idea opens new
avenues for connecting SE metrics to actionable research in SE in
general.},

Abstract = {The Optimal Spectral Sampling (OSS) method models band averaged
radiances as weighted sums of monochromatic radiances. The method is
fast and accurate and has the advantage over other existing techniques
that it is directly applicable to scattering atmospheres. Other
advantages conferred by the method include flexible handling of trace
species and ability to select variable species at run time without
having to retrain the model, and the possibility of large speed gains by
specializing the model for a particular application. The OSS method is
used in the CrIS and CMIS retrieval algorithms and it is currently being
implemented in the Joint Center for Satellite Assimilation (JCSDA)
Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM). A version of OSS is currently
under development for direct inclusion within MODTRAN (TM), as an
alternative to the current band models. This paper discusses the OSS
interface to MODTRAN (TM), presents model results, and identifies new
developments applicable to narrowband and broadband radiative transfer
modeling across the spectrum and the training of OSS for scattering

Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) project, understanding the
system's evolution can reveal important pieces of information to open

one of the most important attributes to determine software
maintainability, controlling its level in the system evolution process
makes the software easier to maintain, reducing the maintainability
costs. Otherwise, uncontrolled complexity makes the maintenance and
enhancement process lengthy, more costly and some times it can
contribute to the system abandonment. This work investigates the
evolution of complexity in discontinued FLOSS projects. After several
analyses, the results showed that inactive FLOSS projects do not seem to
be able to keep up with the extra work required to control the systems
complexity, presenting a different behaviour of the successful active

Abstract = {IT naive, low-budget end-users - such as those in most small to medium
enterprises or small city governments - require specific applications
which are usually simple information systems with no technological
challenges. Their low budget characteristics make the vertical
applications these users need natural targets for free/open source
software (F/OSS) development efforts. The lack of technological
challenges however, does not motivate experienced programmers to
specify, code and test verticals. We are thus left with a problem of
developing verticals which do not attract ROSS volunteers and whose
end-users are not even able to specify them (they are IT naive) nor pay
for professional help to do the job for them. This paper proposes a
solution to such a problem. The solution is organized in the form of a
university level F/OSS vertical development contest, which involves
computer science professors as project leaders and students as
``volunteered{''} programmers. Quality of the produced software is
guaranteed by means of contest infrastructure, services, support kits
which bring vertical seed code, coding and documentation standards and
code reviews by the contest steering committee members. One such contest
is being carried out in Brazil with the engagement of 5 universities to
gain experience and evaluate contest risks, effectiveness and running
processes. Results so far are encouraging having produced an already
useful city government application. Results also indicated required
adjustments in the technical details and procedures but also high levels
of professor and student motivation. A nation-wide contest to produce
more verticals for small city governments is scheduled to happen next.},

concepts in an ontology. We present a novel approach that allows
similarities to be asymmetric while still using only information
contained in the structure of the ontology. We show through experiments
on the WordNet and GeneOntology that the new approach achieves better
accuracy than existing techniques.},

Abstract = {This paper introduces a project that aims at defining an Open Source
Software (OSS) policy in the field of Air Traffic Management (ATM). In
order to develop such a policy, we chose to investigate first a set of
predictive hypotheses. Our four initial hypotheses were presented,
refined and discussed in bi-lateral meetings with experts in the ATM
field and in several conferences and workshops with OSS experts. At a
roundtable, jointly organized by CALIBRE and EUROCONTROL, we confronted
early open source experiences and insights in the ATM domain with
experiences and knowledge from a panel of OSS experts and practitioners
from academia and industry. The revised initial hypotheses are presented
using a fixed format that should facilitate further evolution of these
hypotheses.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) or Free/Libre OSS (FLOSS) has become an
interesting source of research in software engineering. However, it has
been criticized that FLOSS development is often considered as a
homogeneous phenomenon grounded by assumptions rather than empirical
evidence. Proper empirical methods that can shed light into FLOSS
development are desirable. In this paper, we propose an empirical method
to validate a software development model for FLOSS, the Adapted Staged
Model for FLOSS. We mined some selected metrics from Apache Ivy and
study their evolution using S-shaped curves. Our results indicate that
S-shaped curves can model software evolution well for Ivy. Moreover, we
demonstrated that our method can be used to identify successfully
different stages of its development, validating part of the Adapted
Staged Model for FLOSS.},

Abstract = {The Software Heritage (SWH) dataset represents an invaluable source of
open-source code as it aims to collect, preserve, and share all publicly
available software in source code form ever produced by humankind.
Although designed to archive deduplicated small files thanks to the use
of a Merkle tree as the underlying data structure, querying the SWH
dataset presents challenges due to the nature of these structures, which
organize content based on hash values rather than any locality
principle. The magnitude of the repository, coupled with the
resource-intensive nature of the download process, highlights the need
for specialized infrastructure and computational resources to
effectively handle and study the extensive dataset housed within SWH.
Currently, there is a lack of infrastructures specifically tailored for
running analytics on the SWH dataset, leaving users to handle these
issues manually. To address these challenges, we implemented the
SWH-Analytics (SWHA) framework, a development environment that
transparently runs custom analytic applications on publicly available
software data preserved over time by SWH. Specifically, this work shows
how SWHA can be effectively exploited to study usage patterns of free
and open-source software licenses, highlighting the need to improve
license literacy among developers.},

Title = {The impact of participation in virtual brand communities on consumer
trust and loyalty -: The case of free software},
Journal = {ONLINE INFORMATION REVIEW},
Year = {2007},
Volume = {31},
Number = {6},
Pages = {775-792},
Abstract = {Purpose - The importance of virtual brand communities is growing day by
day as a result of consumers increasingly using online tools to contact
fellow consumers in order to get information on which to base their
decisions. For this reason, this work aims to explore some of the
effects of participation in a virtual brand community on consumer
behaviour.
Design/methodology/approach - The paper proposes the positive effects of
participation in a virtual community on both consumer trust and loyalty
to the product, brand or organisation around which the community is
developed. In addition, it also proposes a positive effect of trust on
consumer loyalty. After the validations of measurement scales, the
hypotheses are contrasted through structural modelling.
Findings - The data, obtained through a web survey using members of
several free software virtual communities, show that participation in
the activities carried out in a virtual community may foster consumer
trust and loyalty to the mutual interest of the community (the free
software in this case). In addition, the study also found a positive and
significant effect of consumer trust on loyalty.
Research limitations/implications - Data were collected thanks to a web
survey using Spanish-speaking subjects.
Practical implications - The high costs every company has to face in
order to get new customers make it increasingly necessary to reinforce
the ties established with customers. In this respect, this study has
shown that managers may foster consumer trust and loyalty by developing
virtual brand communities and promoting consumers' participation in
them.
Originality/value - Most of the works that are focused on virtual
communities have been conducted at the conceptual level. Thus, with the
aim of moving on this topic, this study analyses empirically the effects
of participation in a virtual brand community on consumer behaviour.},

Abstract = {The 3G environment is promising a wide range of services with a variety
of pricing structures and billing schemes for use over different network
operator domains, i.e., a federated environment. A key success factor is
to respond to customers' desires to choose the billing scheme that suits
their needs, to subscribe to all services as a service package, and to
pay for them via a single bill regardless of service type, service
location, service providers and network operators. Furthermore,
customers may want to choose their services and compose a package
dynamically without paying attention to the billing scheme used. The
main premise of this paper is that pre-paid and post-paid billing
schemes will merge and customers will use services according to their
account balance and credits, as opposed to their billing scheme. The
requirement on service providers is to use OSS (Operations Support
System) functions and the accompanying information model to support
diverse pricing and billing schemes, which is a complex task. This paper
presents key OSS functions and an information model that tackle this
complexity. Challenges are described and requirements are defined.
Related efforts are highlighted, and the context surrounding this work
is laid out in detail. Finally, individual entities of information model
and OSS functions are defined and an example using flow-chart to
illustrate interaction of functions is presented.},

Abstract = {Image reconstruction is an essential part of the magnetic resonance
imaging process, and a whole field of research is dedicated to the
development of reconstruction algorithms. For this reason, scanner
manufacturers provide researchers with programming frameworks that give
full control over the whole procedure. The drawback is that these
environments are complex, and the code is non-portable and covered by
non-disclosure agreements. In this article, a simplified framework based
on a free scripting language (Lua) is presented. It is oriented to the
development of postprocessing algorithms that are seamlessly integrated
with the pipeline of a commercial scanner. The structure privileges
simplicity over performance, to be quickly learned and used by
researchers and students who might not be acquainted with low-level
programming languages. Common postprocessing algorithms (contrast
modulation, pixelwise fitting, phase-contrast imaging) could be
implemented with similar to 100 logical lines of code or less, using a
syntax that is similar to the Matlab programming language. The average
performance of the reconstruction was lower with respect to the native
implementation, but superior to offline postprocessing on a desktop
computer, without the bottleneck of offline data export. (C) 2011 Wiley

Title = {Optimization of Revision Hip Arthroplasty Workflow by Means of Detailed
Pre-Surgical Planning Using Computed Tomography Data, Open-Source
Software and Three-Dimensional-Printed Models},
Journal = {DIAGNOSTICS},

Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {Background. In revision hip arthroplasty (RHA), establishing the center
of rotation (COR) can be technically challenging due to the acetabular
bone destruction that is usually present, particularly in severe cases
such as Paprosky type II and III defects. The aim of this study was to
demonstrate the use of open-source medical image reconstruction software
and low-cost 3D anatomical models in pre-surgical planning of RHA.
Methods. A total of 10 patients, underwent RHA and were included in the
study. Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed for all cases,
before surgery and approximately 1 week after the procedure. The
reconstruction of CT data, 3D virtual planning of the COR and
positioning of acetabular cups, including their inclination and
anteversion angles, was carried out using the free open source software
platform 3D Slicer. In addition, anatomical models of the pelvis were
built on a desktop 3D printer from polylactic acid (PLA). Preoperative
and postoperative reconstructed imaging data were compared for each
patient, and the position of the acetabular cups as well as the COR were
evaluated for each case. Results. Analysis of the pre- and post-op
center of rotation position data indicated statistically insignificant
differences for the location of the COR on the X-axis (1.5 mm, t =
0.5741, p = 0.5868) with a fairly strong correlation of the results (r =
-0.672, p = 0.0982), whilst for the location of the COR in the Y and
Z-axes, there was statistical dependence (Y axis, 4.7 mm, t = 3.168 and
p = 0.0194; Z axis, 1.9 mm, t = 1.887 and p = 0.1081). A strong
correlation for both axes was also observed (Y and Z) (Y-axis, r =
0.9438 and p = 0.0014; Z-axis, r = 0.8829 and p = 0.0084). Analysis of
inclination angle values showed a statistically insignificant difference
between mean values (3.9 degrees, t = 1.111, p = 0.3092) and a moderate
correlation was found between mean values (r = -0.4042, p = 0.3685).
Analysis of the anteversion angle showed a statistically insignificant
difference between mean values (1.9 degrees, t = 0.8671, p = 0.4192),
while a moderate correlation between mean values was found (r = -0.4782,
p = 0.2777). Conclusions. Three-dimensional reconstruction software,
together with low-cost anatomical models, are very effective tools for
pre-surgical planning, which have great potential use in orthopedic
surgery, particularly RHA. In up and in- and up and out-type defects, it
is essential to establish a new COR and to identify three support points
within the revision acetabulum in order to correctly position acetabular
cups.},

Journal = {ACUPUNCTURE IN MEDICINE},
Year = {2016},
Volume = {34},
Number = {2},
Pages = {101-106},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {Background Moxibustion, a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique,
involves burning moxa floss to apply heat to certain points or areas of
the body surface to treat disease. Moxibustion releases a considerable
amount of smoke into the environment. There remains controversy over the
safety of moxa smoke and its potential effects on human health.
Methods We measured the PM2.5 (particulate matter with aerodynamic
diameter <2.5m) mass concentration in moxa smoke and the oxidative
capacity of PM2.5 and moxa ash (using a plasmid scission assay in whole
and water-soluble fractions) in the by-products of moxibustion produced
from burning moxa floss of different ratios (3:1 or 15:1) and duration
of storage (3 or 10years) in three simulated moxibustion clinics.
Results PM2.5 mass concentration was 224.28, 226.39 and 210.56g/m(3) for
samples A (3years and 3:1 ratio), B (3years and 15:1 ratio), and C
(10years and 3:1 ratio), respectively. Average D-500 oxidative damage of
PM2.5 was 29.42\%, 29.16\% and 27.01\% and that of moxa ash was 22.78\%,
20.60\% and 21.42\% for samples A, B and C, respectively. PM2.5
demonstrated a significantly greater oxidative capacity than moxa ash
(p<0.05).
Conclusions The oxidative DNA damage induced by individual PM2.5
following moxibustion was lower than that reported in other
environments. However, PM2.5 mass concentration after moxibustion is
still relatively high. We would recommend ensuring adequate ventilation
during moxibustion to reduce any possible risks. Further studies are
needed to better define the potential impact of particles in moxibustion
by-products on human health.},

Abstract = {Previous research has revealed that newcomer women are
disproportionately affected by gender-biased barriers in open source
software (OSS) projects. However, this research has focused mainly on
social/cultural factors, neglecting the software tools and
infrastructure. To shed light on how OSS tools and infrastructure might
factor into OSS barriers to entry, we conducted two studies: (1) a field
study with five teams of software professionals, who worked through five
use cases to analyze the tools and infrastructure used in their OSS
projects; and (2) a diary study with 22 newcomers (9 women and 13 men)
to investigate whether the barriers matched the ones identified by the
software professionals. The field study produced a bleak result:
software professionals found gender biases in 73 percent of all the
newcomer barriers they identified. Further, the diary study confirmed
these results: Women newcomers encountered gender biases in 63 percent
of barriers they faced. Fortunately, many kinds of barriers and biases
revealed in these studies could potentially be ameliorated through
changes to the OSS software environments and tools.},

Abstract = {An issue that has confounded the understanding of software development
in the past is the role that different numbers of developers play in the
construction and subsequent evolution of software. In this paper, we
investigate that facet of software using a configurable simulation
framework as a basis. The framework uses `agents' to represent
developers and models the costs associated with first comprehending and
then applying necessary changes to a fictitious code base. It also
considers agent `memory recall' of their own code as a fundamental part
of the framework and the fact that, with higher numbers of developers,
maintenance of a higher proportion of other developers' code (rather
than their own) is an inevitable, yet realistic aspect. Through
exploration of the results and data produced by the simulation. We are
able to explore `desirable' features that are part of simulating
software evolution; as a discussion of the issues raised by the
framework, we provide a set of class data from four open-source systems
by way of comparison and show that trends in those systems are
comparable with results generated by the simulation. The paper thus
provides evidence that we can use simulation tools to help model
evolving systems, whether based on default settings or user-configurable
settings.},

treatment delivery, the contrast of portal images is automatically
adjusted using a histogram equalization algorithm. The projections
associated with the current gantry angle are then superimposed on the
images in real time. This allows the therapist to evaluate if the imaged
structures of interest remain within their respective contours during
treatment delivery and to potentially interrupt the treatment if deemed
necessary. The spatial accuracy of the method was evaluated by imaging a
ball bearing phantom in a set-up where the position of the projected ROI
is highly sensitive to gantry angle errors. The visibility of fiducial
markers during one fraction of seven different volumetric modulated arc
therapy (VMAT) prostate treatments is characterized.
Results The geometric validation showed a negligible systematic error mu
< 0.1 mm for the position of the projections. The random errors
associated with the time accuracy of the gantry angle readout were
characterized by standard deviations sigma <= 0.6 mm. The VMAT clinical
treatments showed that the fiducial markers were frequently visible,
allowing for a meaningful clinical use.
Conclusions The results demonstrate that the method presented is
sufficiently accurate to be used for intrafraction monitoring of
patients. The fact that this method could be implemented on many modern
linacs at little to no cost and with no additional dose delivered to the
patients makes this solution very attractive for improving patient care
and safety in radiation therapy.},

Abstract = {Embedded real-time platforms are a basic component of both robots and
machines for the automation of industrial processes. Although industrial
applications traditionally rely on PLC-based hardware and, in any case,
proprietary software, i.e. operating systems and development tools, in
recent years dramatic improvements in hardware computer power and free
software quality made realistic the employment of architectures based on
PC-compatible hardware and GNU/Linux software, more common in the
research community. The advantages of a free infrastructure, that can
become the terrain of fruitful cooperation between research institutions
and companies, can be exploited mainly in fields, in which the added
value is in the application, i.e. in mechanical and algorithmic
solutions, and where the point of view is that of aware users of an
infrastructure, rather than of R\&D competitors. This is the case of the
project presented in the following, representing a success story in
which the discussion between a research group and a small enterprise led
to the identification of the requirements and the joined development of
a common software infrastructure. When the project started in 2004, both
partners, i.e. the Autonomous robotic systems and control group of
CNR-ISSIA and Green Project Srl, had to substitute the obsolete
platforms of their marine robots and marking machines for casting
products in steelworks with a stable software and hardware
infrastructure able of transparently integrating technological
improvements while remaining compatible with the past (backward
compatibility). On the basis of considerations, discussed below, about
system reliability, development and maintenance costs (including human
resources), foreseen compatibility and general technical soundness, the
choice was to verify the possibility of using standard GNU/Linux for
embedded real-time applications. The result is the main technical
contribution of this chapter, i.e. the practical demonstration of the
possibility of using standard GNU/Linux for implementing embedded
real-time control systems working up to a sampling frequency of at most
2 Khz. Furthermore, four years later, the developed system is still
demonstrating its capabilities transparently integrating technological
improvements and increasing more and more its performance thanks to the
new real-time properties of the Linux kernel.
A first operative release of the platform was completed in 2005 and
integrated with the CNR-ISSIA Charlie unmanned surface vehicle (USV) for
robotics research.
A second application was the porting to the platform of the software of
the control system of Hammer, a steelwork industrial machine used for
marking continuous casting products, developed by Greenproject s.r.l.
At the moment, the platform is supporting the development of the ALANIS
(Aluminium Autonomous Navigator for Intelligent Sampling) USV1 for
surface and underwater coastal monitoring. Moreover, the integration
with generic field buses and image acquisition systems is being carried
out.
After an introduction reporting a summary of related research in the
field and a discussion of the platform requirements, the key points of
the followed methodology for making GNU/Linux real-time will be
presented. Finally, two applications, a research one and an industrial
one, pointing out the basic real-time structures that the platform is
required to implement, will be described.},

Abstract = {Background. The introduction of Open Source Software technologies in the
Public Administration plays a key role in the spread of Open Source
Software. The state of the art in the adoption of Open Source Software
solutions in the Public Administration is not very well known even in
areas like Lombardy, which is Italy's largest and most developed region.
Goal. The goal of the investigation documented in this paper is to
obtain a clear picture about the introduction of Open Source Software
technologies in the Public Administration, the obstacles to their
adoption, and the willingness of stakeholders to proceed with their
introduction. Method. We carried out a qualitative and quantitative
survey that was submitted to a representative part of the Public
Administrations in Lombardy.
Results. The analysis of the qualitative and quantitative information
shows that several Public Administrations are already using Open Source
Software technologies, though not in all application areas. The savings
are one frequently cited incentive to the adoption of Open Source
Software. However, one obstacle is the fact that a comprehensive law on
software in the Public Administration has not yet been approved.
Conclusions. Our analysis provides results that indicate a common
understanding of incentives, obstacles, and opportunities for Open
Source Software technologies in Public Administrations.},

raised as issues that need to be resolved. This makes issue resolution
prediction become more and more important in project management. To
address this problem, this paper constructed a multiple feature set from
the perspectives of project, issue, and developer, by combining static
and dynamic features of issues. Then, we refine a feature set based on
the feature's importance. Furthermore, we proposed a method to explore
what features and how these features affect the prediction of issue
resolution time. Experiments are conducted on a dataset of 46,735
resolved issues from 18 popular GitHub projects to validate the
effectiveness of the refined feature set. The results show that our
prediction method outperforms the baseline methods.},

Abstract = {Recent researches provide evidence that women are underrepresented in
the field of computer science. It has been reported that less than 10\%
of Open Source Software (OSS) contributors in GitHub are women. Although
related qualitative and quantitative studies point out the gender gap,
the technical and social interaction of females within OSS still remain
unexplored and largely misunderstood. As a first step towards proposing
articulated actions towards diversity and inclusion, we need first to
explore the gender gap in terms of activities and interactions. Thus, we
propose to answer the questions: where are females in OSS projects? How
they evolve? and How they contribute to the sustainability of the OSS
social capital?. We particularly focus on building socio-technical
networks and analyze them to explain how females contribute and interact
in practice. We reflect on interactions' graphs and examine through a
preliminary study, using data from six OSS projects, possible links
between existing findings and the directions we suggest for more gender
diversity. We found that females are extremely underrepresented within
OSS communities, but when they participate they are productive just as
males, they evolve following relatively the same patterns than males and
remain more involved in projects than males.},

Abstract = {Equation-Defined Device models (EDD) have become very popular for
behavioural modelling of semiconductor and other non-linear devices. Two
feature that makes them particularly attractive are their interactive
nature and easy testing during the model development process. However,
they are less suited for operation as production level models due to
their slow simulation performance. This paper presents a new extension
to the EDD that offers C++ model performance coupled with the
convenience of EDD modelling. The extended form of the EDD is called a
Verilog-A EDD or VAEDD for short. It has the same structure as the
standard EDD but is built around compiled Verilog-A module code, which
in turn is translated to C++ code and dynamically linked to the main
body of the simulator code. Essentially a VAEDD is a tiny Verilog-A
module with a standardised internal code structure. To demonstrate the
interactive approach to compact model building with VAEDD components the
design and testing of a high power SiC Schottky barrier diode is
included in the main body of the text.},

Abstract = {The Internet has favored the growth of collaborative platforms where
marketers and consumers interact to develop more engaging products and
services. These platforms are usually centered in a specific
brand/product and their members are linked by a shared admiration to
that brand. This paper analyzes one of the most powerful online
collaborative platforms, the free software (FS) case, which involves a
lot of virtual communities developed around products such as Linux or
Android, the new Google's mobile operating system. Our purpose is to
determine some of the main antecedents and consequences of the consumer
involvement in this type of communities. Results have shown that
satisfaction with a virtual community may increase the level of consumer
participation in that community. At the same time, a greater
identification with the virtual community may increase indirectly the
consumer participation thanks to the enhancement of his/her satisfaction
with the community. We have also found positive and significant effects
of consumer identification and participation on the level of community
promotion. Finally, positive and significant effects of consumer
participation and satisfaction with the community on loyalty to the FS
were also found. These findings allow us to conclude some interesting
managerial implications. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

Abstract = {Knowledge is an obtainable, renewable, dynamic, context-dependent
resource that can be shared, and the knowledge sharing cycle has 2
processes: knowledge donation, when a person voluntarily offers his/her
intellectual capital to others, and knowledge collection, when a person
consults other people's intellectual capital. Knowledge can be shared
among individuals, groups, and organizations. A free software community
is a type of community of practice arranged around a specific free
software, where the knowledge shared is complex and the knowledge
sharing processes have scarcely been studied. This investigation aims to
identify the profiles of knowledge sharing processes in free software
communities and examine how 6 motivations for sharing knowledge in free
software communities are associated with each of the clusters. To
accomplish this objective, a survey method was adopted, with 260
respondents belonging to free software communities. Cluster analysis was
used to interpret the data. Four clusters were identified: Sporadic
Sharer; Collector; Donator; and Constant Sharer. With the exception of
the Sporadic Sharer, all the clusters presented high values of both
collection and donation, including the Donators and Collectors. These
results confirm the view of free software communities as communities of
practice and highlight the importance of knowledge sharing in free
software development cycle. The results reveal the importance of the
Constant Sharer profile, which has the highest rates of donation and
collection and is also the profile in which all the motivations appear
with the highest values, indicating its key role in the functioning of
free software communities.},

Abstract = {Modern Open Source Software (OSS) projects depend on the
globally-distributed and synchronized software development. The online
collaboration promotes more and more developers to join in OSS projects,
while on the other hand, integrating new developers with teams is
challenging and pivotal to the success of a project. In this paper, we
propose a novel expert recommendation method, based on knowledge
embedding, that realizes real-time recommendation for working
developers. To capture structural information of source files in call
graph, we use node2vec algorithm to convert file entities within
projects into knowledge mappings within low-dimensional space, based on
which we further propose four features to capture the work status and
social relationship of developers. We then design a recommender system
using random forest method to recommend appropriate experts for the
developers. Experiments on 20 Apache OSS projects show that, compared
with the baseline methods, our approach behaves significantly better in

repositories, simple analysis have to face the problems of filtering the
relevant information. Hence, it is essential to apply methodologies that
highlight that information for a given aspect of the project. In this
paper, some techniques from the social sciences have been used on data
from version control systems to extract information about the
development process of FLOSS projects with the aim of highlighting
several processes that occur in FLOSS projects and that are difficult to
obtain by other means. In particular, the collaboration between the
FLOSS community and a company has been studied by selecting two projects
as case studies. The results highlight aspects such as efficiency in the
development process, release management and leadership turnover.},

Title = {Will you come back to contribute? Investigating the inactivity of OSS
core developers in GitHub},
Journal = {EMPIRICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {27},
Number = {3},
Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {Several Open-Source Software (OSS) projects depend on the continuity of
their development communities to remain sustainable. Understanding how
developers become inactive or why they take breaks can help communities
prevent abandonment and incentivize developers to come back. In this
paper, we propose a novel method to identify developers' inactive
periods by analyzing the individual rhythm of contributions to the
projects. Using this method, we quantitatively analyze the inactivity of
core developers in 18 OSS organizations hosted on GitHub. We also survey
core developers to receive their feedback about the identified breaks
and transitions. Our results show that our method was effective for
identifying developers' breaks. About 94\% of the surveyed core
developers agreed with our state model of inactivity; 71\% and 79\% of
them acknowledged their breaks and state transition, respectively. We
also show that all core developers take breaks (at least once) and about
a half of them (similar to 45\%) have completely disengaged from a
project for at least one year. We also analyzed the probability of
transitions to/from inactivity and found that developers who puce their
activity have a similar to 35 to similar to 55\% chance to return to an
active state; yet, if the break lasts for a year or longer, then the
probability of resuming activities drops to similar to 21-26\%, with a
similar to 54\% chance of complete disengagement. These results may
support the creation of policies and mechanisms to make OSS community
managers aware of breaks and potential project abandonment.},

Abstract = {Open source is widely used for educational purposes in higher education
around the world. While many educators use open source resources for
teaching, there seems to be few contributions to such projects of
students as part of their university courses. In this work we present
our experience on establishing open source development from student
contributors as part of their university curriculum. Since 2010 more
than 300 students from Graz University of Technology have been involved
in the presented Catrobat project and have gained knowledge about agile
software development as well as several related domains, e.g., project
management, marketing, or graphical design. In this paper we provide
detailed insights into the project's organization and evaluate in a
study how students feel in this setting. As we conclude, bringing open
source to university courses is an effective practical approach based on
social learning and provides benefits for students and researchers.},

Abstract = {The advances experienced in the Information and Communication
Technologies and the popularization of the devices with computing
capacity have promoted the use of simulators, programs and programming
languages as educational resources. However, the use of these tools for
education purposes faces important barriers: the availability of the
resources, the cost and the students' perception, among many others.
These problems might be overcome by the use of free software simulators.
In this paper, we present several experiences using free software tools
in engineering Higher Education courses. The experiences shown cover
several courses of different engineering Degrees: ``Electronics and
Automation{''}, ``Electrical Engineering{''}, ``Computing{''} and
``Industrial Technologies{''}. These tools have been used in teaching
activities for several years. As a result, the perceptions, gained
experience and views of the teachers involved in the different courses
are presented and discussed. Teachers specially valued the independence
of the tools from commercial policies, as well as the suppression of
expensive licenses. Additionally, they perceived that students
understood better the simulations performed since all the parts of the
tools could be freely accessed. They also remarked the possibility of
changing the code at low level and fuse different free software projects
together, what is not possible with the commercial tools. In addition,
free software resources allowed students to start in a very common world
currently, the collaborative communities, which may be of great
importance in their future professional activities. However, teachers
involved in these experiences also detected several drawbacks. In some
cases, free software simulators are less robust than their commercial
alternatives, which usually pay special attention at the design, being
perceived by students as a signal of higher quality. In some simulators
the documentation is incomplete, and there is a lack of easy-to-use
examples which hinders the use of the tool by low-experienced users such
as first-year students. The opportunities and threats faced by these
tools are also discussed, concluding that when selecting an educational
resource, the free software resources must be considered as perfectly
valid options in the same conditions as the proprietary solutions.},

Abstract = {How can we attract developers? What can we do to incentivize developers
to write code? We started the study by introducing the population
pyramid visualization to software development communities, called
software population pyramids, and found a typical pattern in shapes.
This pattern comes from the differences in attracting coding
contributors and discussion contributors. To understand the causes of
the differences, we then build game-theoretical models of the
contribution situation. Based on these results, we again analyzed the
projects empirically to support the outcome of the models, and found
empirical evidence. The answers to the initial questions are clear. To
incentivize developers to code, the projects should prepare documents,
or the projects or third parties should hire developers, and these are
what sustainable projects in GitHub did in reality. In addition, making
innovations to reduce the writing costs can also have an impact in
attracting coding contributors.},

Title = {Hybrid Overlap Filter for LiDAR Point Clouds Using Free Software},
Journal = {REMOTE SENSING},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {12},
Number = {7},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {Despite the large amounts of resources destined to developing filtering
algorithms of LiDAR point clouds in order to obtain a Digital Terrain
Model (DTM), the task remains a challenge. As a society advancing
towards the democratization of information and collaborative processes,
the researchers should not only focus on improving the efficacy of
filters, but should also consider the users' needs with a view toward
improving the usability and accessibility of the filters in order to
develop tools that will provide solutions to the challenges facing this
field of study. In this work, we describe the Hybrid Overlap Filter
(HyOF), a new filtering algorithm implemented in the free R software
environment. The flow diagram of HyOF differs in the following ways from
that of other filters developed to date: (1) the algorithm is formed by
a combination of sequentially operating functions (i.e., the output of
the first function provides the input of the second), which are capable
of functioning independently and thus enabling integration of these
functions with other filtering algorithms; (2) the variable
penetrability is defined and used, along with slope and elevation, to
identify ground points; (3) prior to selection of the seed points, the
original point cloud is processed with the aim of removing points
corresponding to buildings; and (4) a new method based on a moving
window, with longitudinal overlap between windows and transverse overlap
between passes, is used to select the seed points. Our hybrid filtering
method is tested using 15 reference samples acquired by the
International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) and
is evaluated in comparison with 33 existing filtering algorithms. The
results show that our hybrid filtering method produces an average total
error of 3.34\% and an average Kappa coefficient of 92.62\%. The
proposed algorithm is one of the most accurate filters that has been
tested with the ISPRS reference samples.},

proposed technique is also presented.
Findings - Technological support to learning and teaching has become
widespread due to computers and internet ubiquity. Particularly
e-learning platforms permit the any-time-and-any-place distribution of
interactive multimedia learning materials. There are commercial tools
available to author this kind of content, usually based on proprietary

Abstract = {Spatial data infrastructures (SDI) are extremely important in order to
combine the technical and organizational elements required to promote
the use of territory-based information in an interoperable way. In fact,
geographic information has unique intrinsic features, which makes it a
natural indexing mechanism for spatial data. Due to its high cost and
upgrade dynamics, this information should be available for reuse and
should be managed and maintained by those responsible for producing it
as part of management interventions in the territory. Therefore, it is
important that different spatial data infrastructures, developed at
different hierarchical levels, coexist and communicate in an
interoperable way so that they can constitute a spatial basis of
reference that facilitates the integration with other sectorial
applications. This ongoing work proposes the implementation of a
regional spatial data infrastructure based on free software, in
compliance with the principles of the EU INSPIRE Directive and with the

Abstract = {The outbreak process of algal bloom is a complex ecological problem of
system engineering involving various factors such as water parameters,
surrounding environment and human activity. For this ecological problem,
the strict restriction and requirement limit the development of
management about algae bloom. To select the most suitable strategy from
various algae control methods, we propose case-based reasoning-optimal
strategy selection (CBR-OSS) model. It builds case library and complex
network by extracting the factors of algae management. This model
regards the complex network as a directive network to reflect dynamic
characteristic and weights of key factors. To improve decision
efficiency, it defines the restriction slots and condition slots in
directive network. As the inference engine, these slots exclude the
unsuitable cases and avoid the redundancy computation so that the model
can calculate the similarity between the target water body and screen
cases in the process of decision case matcher. This process finds the
best matching case and recommended measures by intuitionistic fuzzy
rough sets. To verify the model, Kunming Lake and other 20 lakes are
simulated with the proposed method. The results accord with expert
advice and the model outperforms in accuracy, operation time, expert
participation and flexibility.},

Abstract = {Recent downturns in the IT industry have brought about corresponding
reductions in the monies available to organisations for the purchase of
software. As a consequence open source software is now viewed more
favourably than in the past, with increased penetration in all markets.
Despite the success of these inroads and the cost savings involved in
switching to open source software, proprietary software remains far and
away the predominant product of choice.
In this paper we discuss some results of research into why public and
private organisations select a particular software solution over
another. We examine the criteria that make one item of software more
attractive to an organisation and compare and contrast software
selection in both the public and private sectors. Ultimately we show
that OSS is a competitive alternative to proprietary software and that
the criteria on which organisations base their software selection, can
be met by OSS products.},

Abstract = {This expert paper describes the characteristics of six most used free
software tools for general data mining that are available today:
RapidMiner, R, Weka, KNIME, Orange, and scikit-learn. The goal is to
provide the interested researcher with all the important pros and cons
regarding the use of a particular tool. A comparison of the implemented
algorithms covering all areas of data mining (classification,
regression, clustering, associative rules, feature selection, evaluation
criteria, visualization, etc.) is provided. In addition, the tools'
support for the more advanced and specialized research topics (big data,
data streams, text mining, etc.) is outlined, where applicable. The
tools are also compared with respect to the community support, based on
the available sources. This multidimensional overview in the form of
expert paper on data mining tools emphasizes the quality of RapidMiner,
R, Weka, and KNIME platforms, but also acknowledges the significant
advancements made in the other tools.},

Abstract = {As a result of the technological progress, software development
environment has changed into development paradigm based on client/server
systems by using network computing technologies. Network technologies
have made rapid progress with the dissemination of computer systems in
all areas. These network technologies become increasingly more complex
in a wide sphere. Especially, open source software systems which serve
as key components of critical infrastructures in the society are still
ever-expanding now.
In this paper, we propose a method of software reliability assessment
based on stochastic differential equations. Especially, we derive
several assessment measures in terms of imperfect debugging. Also, we
analyze actual software fault-count data to show numerical examples of
software reliability assessment for an embedded open source software.
Further, it has been necessary to manage the software development
process in terms of reliability, effort, and release time. Then, we find
the optimal release time based on the total expected software
maintenance effort.},

Abstract = {Information and communication technology (ICT) has tremendously expanded
over the last three decades making the access to right information at
the right time feasible ensuring the success of an individual,
organization or culture. In order to make the most out of this exciting
revolution one must be in a position to afford and completely comprehend
what is offered by this technology. Unfortunately most of the software
are controlled by proprietary that are economically unaffordable for
developing countries and are based on a on language that is not
comprehendible by their masses. Software localization of Free and Open
Source Software (FOSS) is an effort that addresses this Software (FOSS)
is an effort that addresses this twofold dilemma. FOSS made software
affordable while localization bridges the language barrier that helps
people to fully comprehend and utilize the benefits of ICT In this
research we have explored various aspects of the software localization
of free and open source operating system (FOSOS) and developed a working
prototype. Paper explains concept and all the technical steps of FOSS
localization of Ubuntu Linux that is a FOSOS with a foreseeable future

Abstract = {The last decade has witnessed the rapid growth of open-source software
(OSS). Still, all contributors may find it difficult to assimilate into
the OSS community even they are enthusiastic to make contributions. We
thus suggest that partner recommendation across different roles may
benefit both the users and developers, i.e., once we are able to make
successful recommendation for those in need, it may dramatically
contribute to the productivity of developers and the enthusiasm of
users, thus further boosting OSS projects' development. Motivated by
this potential, we model the partner recommendation as link prediction
task from email data via network embedding methods. In this article, we
introduce time-series snapshot network (TSSN) that is a mixture network
to model the interactions among users and developers. Based on the
established TSSN, we perform temporal biased walk (TBW) to automatically
capture both temporal and structural information of the email network,
i.e., the behavioral similarity between individuals in the OSS email
network. Experiments on ten Apache data sets demonstrate that the
proposed TBW significantly outperforms a number of advanced random
walk-based embedding methods, leading to the state-of-the-art
recommendation performance.},

Abstract = {Developing systems by integrating Open Source Software (OSS) is
increasingly gaining importance in the software industry. Although the
literature claims that this approach highly impacts Requirements
Engineering (RE) practices, there is a lack of empirical evidence to
demonstrate this statement. To explore and understand problems and
challenges of current system requirement-OSS component matching and
mismatches resolution practices in software development projects that
integrate one or more OSS components into their software products.
Semi-structured in-depth interviews with 25 respondents that have
performed RE activities in software development projects that integrate
OSS components in 25 different software development companies in Spain,
Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The study uncovers 15 observations
regarding system requirements-OSS components matching and mismatch
resolution practices used in industrial projects that integrate OSS
components. The assessed projects focused mainly on pre-release stages
of software applications that integrate OSS components in an
opportunistic way. The results also provide details of a set of
previously unexplored scenarios when solving system requirement-OSS
component mismatches; and clarify some challenges and related problems.
For instance, although licensing issues and the potential changes in OSS
components by their corresponding communities and/or changes in system
requirements have been greatly discussed in the RE literature as
problems for OSS component integration, they did not appear to be
relevant in our assessed projects. Instead, practitioners highlighted
the problem of getting suitable OSS component documentation/information.},

Abstract = {Nowadays, the photogrammetric use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in
several areas is a reality that grows from day to day in several market
areas. In such areas, ranging from environmental monitoring to precision
agriculture, the ortophotos are the most commonly requested digital
photogrammetric product. In fact, by using a GIS platform, the
ortophotos can enable the integration of radiometric and spectral image
data with the geographic and cartographic data and allow us to expand
the spatial analysis to other types of attribute data. In this paper we
present a methodology for the automatic production of ortophotos in
urban areas by using UAVs and open source photogrammetric software. The
potential and limits of this technology are assessed in the context of
updating a municipal spatial database. The results show that the
synergistic use of UAVs and open source photogrammetric software can be
effectively used to produce ortophototos of small urban areas with an
excellent quality/price ratio.},

Abstract = {Adhoc networking is not supported by Google in basic Android kernel as
part of Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Various projects are in hand
by different organizations to explore and implement the Mobile Adhoc
Networking (MANET) feature on Android based devices due to their
peculiar infrastructure-less requirements (such as disaster management,
nomadic battle fields having no communication infrastructure, search and
rescue operations etc). These projects carrying out research on MANETs
have successfully implemented adhoc networking on few targeted devices,
hence implementation of Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) on every new
Android based device is quite challenging in nature. We have researched
on Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) devices (such mobile phones and
tablets) to implement adhoc networking using open source software (OSS)
such as Serval Mesh, MANET Manager, WiFi Tether applications. We have
also modified the TrevE-Mod WiFi Tether application to work successfully
with MANET Manager and Linux/ Windows based Personal Computers (PCs) in
an adhoc network. The results achieved by performance evaluation tools
and testing of VoIP applications have proved it to be satisfactory. We
have also satisfactorily implemented, configured and tested point to
point Virtual Private Network (VPN) between MANET nodes using OSS (VPN
Server, OpenVPN for Android, OpenVPN Connect). The application of
standards based security algorithms (for authentication and encryption
in VPNs) demonstrates that these technologies can be effectively used
for secure collaboration in adhoc environments as well.},

Title = {Identifying the quality characteristics of pork floss structure based on
deep learning framework},
Journal = {CURRENT RESEARCH IN FOOD SCIENCE},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {7},
Abstract = {Pork floss is a traditional Chinese food with a long history. Nowadays,
pork floss is known to consumers as a leisure food. It is made from pork
through a unique process in which the muscle fibers become flaky or
granular and tangled. In this study, a deep learning-based approach is
proposed to detect the quality characteristics of pork floss structure.
Describe that the experiments were conducted using widely recognized
brands of pork floss available in the grocery market, omitting the use
of abbreviations. A total of 8000 images of eight commercially available
pork flosses were collected and processed using sharpening, image gray
coloring, real-time shading correction, and binarization. After the
machine learning model learned the features of the pork floss, the
images were labeled using a manual mask. The coupling of residual
enhancement mask and region-based convolutional neural network
(CRE-MRCNN) based deep learning framework was used to segment the
images. The results showed that CRE-MRCNN could be used to identify the
knot features and pore features of different brands of pork floss to
evaluate their quality. The combined results of the models based on the
sensory tests and machine vision showed that the pork floss from TC was
the best, followed by YJJ, DD and HQ. This also shows the potential of
machine vision to help people recognize the quality characteristics of
pork floss structure.},

Abstract = {Primary health care (PHC) is the first point of contact people have with
a health system. As such access to PHC services is an important factor
to ensure good health of a community. While the need to provide equal
and easy access to PHC is well understood, the approaches informing the
decision-making process to improve the access tend to face a number of
challenges in the developing world. Use of conventional Information and
Communication Technologies (ICTs) comes with requisite financial costs
which Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) ICT technologies have the
potential to help lower among other benefits. In this study, the
confluence of spatial accessibility tools provided by FOSS technologies,
specifically PostgreSQL/PostGIS and QGIS, was explored to inform
decision making in PHC accessibility in Zomba, Malawi. The results show
that the household population (P) that is within the threshold time was
8, representing \% of all households having access to health care. The
mean accessibility score for the district was 0.010 and ranged from 0.00
to 0.231. While the findings provide, arguably, spatially objective PHC
accessibility data to inform policy direction and also reveals
accessibility to PHC in Malawi to be lower than reported, the study also
reveals the usefulness of FOSS technologies, in the developing world.
Use of FOSS facilitated incremental setup of the model thereby allowing
to run the model with limited processing power. That notwithstanding,
the study adds to the formal scientific research on the use of
relational spatial analysis in the developing world.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) previously regarded as a fad by many
academics has been rapidly adopted by both public and private sector
organizations. The challenge facing most organizations is how to
evaluate OSS adoption benefits. OSS adoption is a complex phenomenon
which requires an interdisciplinary approach to understand the
socio-technical, political, economic and legal benefits. The complexity
of the OSS phenomenon has resulted in fiercely contested, contradictory
rhetorical discussions among divided parties with no conclusive general
agreement. The one size fits all approach is fundamentally flawed for
evaluating OSS benefits in organizations as they are both subjective and
contextual. In this paper we propose a framework to balance the needs of
hard (objective) benefits and soft (subjective) benefits of OSS adoption
in public sector organizations. This paper proposes a framework to
evaluate benefits of OSS adoption in public-sector organizations, since
one-size-fits-all approaches have shortcomings to complex phenomena.},

Year = {2013},
Volume = {18},
Number = {1},
Pages = {60-88},
Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {Empirical research on Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) has shown
that developers tend to cluster around two main roles: ``core{''}
contributors differ from ``peripheral{''} developers in terms of a
larger number of responsibilities and a higher productivity pattern. A
further, cross-cutting characterization of developers could be achieved
by associating developers with ``time slots{''}, and different patterns
of activity and effort could be associated to such slots. Such analysis,
if replicated, could be used not only to compare different FLOSS
communities, and to evaluate their stability and maturity, but also to
determine within projects, how the effort is distributed in a given
period, and to estimate future needs with respect to key points in the
software life-cycle (e.g., major releases). This study analyses the
activity patterns within the Linux kernel project, at first focusing on
the overall distribution of effort and activity within weeks and days;
then, dividing each day into three 8-hour time slots, and focusing on
effort and activity around major releases. Such analyses have the
objective of evaluating effort, productivity and types of activity
globally and around major releases. They enable a comparison of these
releases and patterns of effort and activities with traditional software
products and processes, and in turn, the identification of
company-driven projects (i.e., working mainly during office hours) among
FLOSS endeavors. The results of this research show that, overall, the
effort within the Linux kernel community is constant (albeit at
different levels) throughout the week, signalling the need of updated
estimation models, different from those used in traditional 9am-5pm,
Monday to Friday commercial companies. It also becomes evident that the
activity before a release is vastly different from after a release, and
that the changes show an increase in code complexity in specific time
slots (notably in the late night hours), which will later require
additional maintenance efforts.},

Abstract = {With almost 20 years of research, Process Mining can now be considered
to be in a mature phase allowing its application to a variety of
sectors. In this article, the bug closure process that is followed by a
community of an open source software project is investigated in order to
perform process conformance checking. Actual data that reveal the
process steps have been extracted from the project's Bugzilla database
and have been used as input in Disco process mining tool. The data
includes extracted information for more than 19,000 bugs for the past 15
years in a csv form, formatted appropriately to construct an event log
suitable for process mining. The extracted models have been compared to
the process described in the project's blogs and wikis by the community.
The same models are also compared to the bug closure process that
Bugzilla suggests to be used by the projects using this software for bug
tracking purposes. The findings reveal that indeed the process followed
in the OSS project is very similar to the declared one but variations do
occur under specific circumstances. However, the process is not
identical to the one proposed by Bugzilla suggesting that each OSS
project can customize its processes in order to better address the needs
of the project and the community. This empirical research highlights the
importance of process mining in OSS projects in order to investigate the
processes followed and identify outliers helping to standardize and
improve the processes and enhance the collaboration among the members of
the communities.},

Abstract = {Social cartography empowers communities to create maps that represent
their own perspectives about their surrounding environment. Thematic
mapping aims at making visible physical space features corresponding to
particular interests, for example: hydrants, accessibility, or public
transportation. Information and communication technologies bring these
mapping process to the digital realm, streamlining the management of
maps and expanding its application opportunities. Free software tools
for geospatial data and information management contribute to mapping
processes by encouraging collaboration through the reduction of entry
barriers, which can range from economical hurdles to data privacy
related issues. OSMTracker for Android is a free software geospatial
data capturing tool that runs on the Android operating system. The
tool's user interface can be customized to match specific data capturing
needs for different communities and purposes, making it widely used
globally for thematic mapping. However, this customization requires
specific technical skills, imposing a usability limitation for the tech
unsavvy collaborators. This paper presents an improvement in OSMTracker
to simplify loading and sharing custom buttons layouts. In addition, the
paper discusses briefly the experiences of facilitating two mapping
workshops carried out using the improved tool.},

Abstract = {The Asmoz Foundation, under the Department of Industry, Innovation,
Commerce and Tourism of the Basque Government, has carried out the
project called ``RESEARCH AND PROMOTION OF FREE SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY
PLATFORMS FOR MASSIVE OPEN ONLINE COURSES{''} with the aim of examining
the trend in e-Learning from a technological perspective and in
collaboration with the UPV/EHU (University of the Basque Country), with
a view to contributing towards its establishment as a valid model for
permanent education in the Basque Autonomous Community; later publishing
and disseminating the conclusions reached to Universities, schools,
education agents and companies.
Results:
In general, the results obtained through the project have been:
- To research and test the different open source online learning
platforms that enable the provision of MOOC-style education.
- To give teachers (indispensable vector) the opportunity to generate
`massive open online courses' by themselves, as this group has few
conceptual and pragmatic references that suggest how to approach the
work from this new perspective.
- To promote the implementation of this new trend in education among
teachers, leading to education free of charge provided by platforms that
are accessible through the Internet and focused on very large groups of
people. MOOCs are usually based on up-to-date material, are focused on
practical aspects and have a curriculum that depends on the interests of
the pupils.
- To study the problems and technological needs that arise when defining
and developing MOOCs.
- To disseminate the study carried out throughout the education
community (Universities, schools, education agents and companies) and to
provide solutions to the extent possible.},

Abstract = {Development and interpretation of morphometric maps are important tools
in studies related to neotectonics and geomorphology; Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) allows speed and precision to this process,
but applied methodology will vary according to available tools and
degree of knowledge of each researcher about involved software.
A methodology to integrate GIS and statistics in morphometric analysis
is presented for the most usual morphometric parameters-hypsometry,
slope, aspect, swath profiles, lineaments and drainage density, surface
roughness, isobase and hydraulic gradient.
The GIS used was the Geographic Resources Analysis Support System
(GRASS-GIS), an open-source project that offers an integrated
environment for raster and vector analysis, image processing and
maps/graphics creation. Statistical analysis of parameters can be
carried out on R, a system for statistical computation and graphics,
through an interface with GRASS that allows raster maps and points files
to be treated as variables for analysis.
The basic element for deriving morphometric maps is the digital
elevation model (DEM). It can be interpolated from scattered points or
contours, either in raster or vector format; it is also possible to use
DEMs from NASA's Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission, with 30 m of ground
resolution for the USA and 90 m for other countries.
Proposed methodology can be adapted according to necessities and
available tools. The use of free and open-source tools guarantees access
to everyone, and its increasing popularization opens new development
perspectives in this research field. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

Abstract = {FAQ chatbots possess the capability to provide answers to frequently
asked questions of a particular service, platform, or system. Currently,
FAQ chatbot is the most popular domain of use of dialog assistants.
However, developing a chatbot project requires a full-stack team formed
by numerous specialists, such as dialog designer, data scientist,
software engineer, DevOps, business strategist and experts from the
domain, which can be both time and resources consuming. Language
processing can be particularly challenging in languages other than
English due to the scarcity of training datasets.
Most of the requirements of FAQ chatbots are similar, domain-specific,
and projects could profit from Open Source Software (OSS) reuse. In this
paper, we examine how OSS FAQ chatbot projects can benefit from reuse at
the project level (black-box reuse). We present an experience report of
a FLOSS FAQ chatbot project developed in Portuguese to an e-government
service in Brazil. It comprises of the chatbot distribution service, as
well as for analytics tool integrated and deployed on-premises. We
identified assets that could be reused as a black-box and the assets
that should be customized for a particular application. We categorized
these assets in architecture, corpus, dialog flows, machine learning
models, and documentation. This paper discusses how automation,
pre-configuration, and templates can aid newcomers to develop chatbots
in Portuguese without the need for specialized skills required from
tools in chatbot architecture. Our main contribution is to highlight the
issues non-English FAQ chatbots projects will likely face and the assets
that can be reused. It allows non-chatbot experts to develop a
quality-assured OSS FAQ chatbot in a shorter project cycle.},

control the amount of maintenance effort expense in the long-term phase.
Then, we propose the optimization method based on the past

assess the operation effort expenditures with network environment of
edge OSS service. Moreover, actual effort data sets are analyzed to show
numerical examples of the proposed optimization method considering the

Pages = {37-62},
Abstract = {Background: An increasing number of commercial firms are participating
in Open Source Software (OSS) projects to reduce their development cost
and increase technical innovativeness. When collaborating with other
firms whose sought values are conflicts of interests, firms may behave
uncooperatively leading to harmful impacts on the common goal.
Aim: This study explores how software firms both collaborate and compete
in OSS projects.
Method: We adopted a mixed research method on three OSS projects.
Result: We found that commercial firms participating in
community-initiated OSS projects collaborate in various ways across the
organizational boundaries. While most of firms contribute little, a
small number of firms that are very active and account for large
proportions of contributions. We proposed a conceptual model to explain
for coopetition among software firms in OSS projects. The model shows
two aspects of coopetition can be managed at the same time based on firm
gatekeepers.
Conclusion: Firms need to operationalize their coopetition strategies to
maximize value gained from participating in OSS projects.},

Abstract = {Purpose: The large amount of data rendered by the multifocal
electroretinogram (mfERG) can be analyzed and visualized in various
ways. The evaluation and comparison of more than one examination is
time-consuming and prone to create errors. Using the free software
environment R we developed a solution to average the data of multiple
examinations and to allow a comparison of different patient groups.
Methods: Data of single mfERG recordings as exported in .csv format from
a RETIport 21 system (version 7/03, Roland Consult) or manually compiled
.csv files are the basis for the calculations. The R software extracts
response densities and implicit times of N1 and P1 for the sum response,
each ring eccentricity, and each single hexagon. Averages can be
calculated for as many subjects as needed. The mentioned parameters can
then be compared to another group of patients or healthy subjects.
Application of the software is illustrated by comparing 11 patients with
chloroquine maculopathy to a control group of 7 healthy subjects.
Results: The software scripts display response density and implicit time
3D plots of each examination as well as of the group averages.
Differences of the group averages are presented as 3D and grayscale 2D
plots. Both groups are compared using the t-test with Bonferroni
correction. The group comparison is furthermore illustrated by the
average waveforms and by boxplots of each eccentricity.
Conclusions: This software solution on the basis of the programming
language R facilitates the clinical and scientific use of the mfERG and
aids in interpretation and analysis.},

Abstract = {In recent years, demands on wireless network for services mobility, for
ever more resources, and for a growing variety of services, have
exploded. Consequently, network management as we have known it up to
now, with its silos and rigid approach, cannot meet these expectations.
If we add the Internet of Things, the network has to become dynamic,
adaptable and flexible. In this context, the industry and forums have
specified and standardized a new architecture based on Software Defined
Network (SDN), Network Function Virtualization, and Orchestration. These
new paradigms, and especially Orchestration, will have a great impact on
the Legacy Network Management Systems and the Operations Support System
(OSS). We present a state of the art review of the main architecture
approaches in the SDN standardization forums and discuss the place of
the Orchestration in these different architectures. Then we focus on the
Orchestration at the application layer and show how, together with SDN
and Network Function Virtualization, they influence the Operation and
Business Support Systems of next-generation network management. Finally,
we analyze the roles and functions of this Orchestrator with regard to
upper management, as well as the several open challenges in this domain.},

software (FLOSS) development communities. We describe our process in
constructing helper sets of relevant data, such as profanity lists,
lists of insults, and lists of projects with their codes of conduct.
Contributions of this paper are to describe the background literature on
computer-aided methods of recognizing insulting or profane speech, to
describe the parameters of data sets that are useful in this work, and
to outline how FLOSS communities are such a rich source of insulting or
profane speech data. We then describe our data sets in detail, including
how we created these data sets, and provide some initial guidelines for
usage.},

Abstract = {While Open Source Software (OSS) communities provide opportunities for
knowledge creation, we have a limited understanding of how entrepreneurs
leverage OSS communities for their entrepreneurial ventures. Using
social capital theory in a mixed methods case study, we compare
entrepreneur and non-entrepreneur behaviors to investigate how
entrepreneurs build social capital within an OSS community. This study
shows that entrepreneurs differentiate themselves from non-entrepreneurs
by focusing on cognitive and relational capital building activities,
which in return makes it possible for them to leverage their social
capital to influence and shape the environment in which they are
operating. Our findings suggest that entrepreneurs strategically select
which activities within the community to expend their limited resources
on (e.g., developing code over participating in email conversations) and
build their social capital more through their actions than through their
words (e.g., showing their commitment to the community through code
commits, bug fixes, and documentation). Given the liabilities of newness
and smallness as well as other challenges faced by entrepreneurs,
applying an open innovation strategy in OSS communities could be one
approach where entrepreneurs, by developing and freely revealing their
intellectual property to the community, share their way to success via
OSS-infused entrepreneurial business ventures.},

Abstract = {European community is working to improve the quality of the life in each
European country, in particular to increase the quality air condition
and safety in each city. The quality air is daily monitored, using
several ground station, which do not consider the variation of the
quality during the day, evaluating only the average level. In this case,
it could be interesting to have a ``smart{''} system to acquire
distributed data in continuous, even involving the citizens. On the
other hand, to improve the safety level in urban area along cycle lane,
road and pedestrian path, exist a lot of algorithms for visibility and
safety analysis; the crucial aspect is the 3D model considered as
``input{''} in these algorithms, which always needs to be updated.
A bike has been instrumented with two digital camera as Raspberry
PI-cam. Image acquisition has been realized with a dedicated python
tool, which has been implemented in the Raspberry PI system. Images have
been georeferenced using a u-blox 8T, connected to Raspberry system.
GNSS data has been acquired using a specific tool developed in Python,
which was based on RTKLIB library. Time synchronization has been
obtained with GNSS receiver. Additionally, a portable laser scanner, an
air quality system and a small Inertial platform have been installed and
connected with the Raspberry system.
The system has been implemented and tested to acquire data (image and
air quality parameter) in a district in Turin. Also a 3D model of the
investigated site has been carried. In this contribute, the assembling
of the system is described, in particular the dataset acquired and the
results carried out will be described. different low cost sensors, in
particular digital camera and laser scanner to collect easily geospatial

Volume = {34},
Number = {3},
Pages = {665-689},
Month = {MAY 21},
Abstract = {PurposeTo remain sustainable, open source software (OSS) projects must
attract new members-or newcomers-who make contributions. In this paper,
the authors develop a set of hypotheses based on the knowledge barriers
framework that examines how OSS communities can encourage contributions
from newcomers.Design/methodology/approachEmploying longitudinal data
from the source code repositories of 232 OSS projects over a two-year
period, the authors employ a Poisson-based mixed model to test how
community characteristics, such as the main drivers of knowledge-based
costs, relate to newcomers' contributions.FindingsThe results indicate
that community characteristics, such as programming language choice,
documentation effort and code structure instability, are the main
drivers of knowledge-based contribution costs. The findings also suggest
that managing these costs can result in more inclusive OSS communities,
as evidenced by the number of contributing newcomers; the authors
highlight the importance of maintaining documentation efforts for OSS
communities.Originality/valueThis paper assumes that motivational
factors are a necessary but insufficient condition for newcomer
participation in OSS projects and that the cost to participation should
be considered. Using the knowledge barriers framework, this paper
identifies the main knowledge-based costs that hinder newcomer
participation. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first
empirical study that does not limit data collection to a single hosting
platform (e.g., SourceForge), which improves the generalizability of the
findings.},

majority of new attributes were added at levels 1 and 2 of the
inheritance, these patterns were not consistent. The research question
addresses the evolutionary relationship between classes and attributes
as well as the connection between those changes and refactorings.
Although some evidence of attributes following patterns conformant with
class additions was found, we also identified occurrences of attributes
being added unilaterally. A strong correspondence was also found between
attribute addition and the refactoring data. Finally, we explore
features of a fourth system with seven inheritance levels for similar
characteristics.},

Abstract = {The use of vulnerable open-source dependencies is a known problem in
today's software development. Several vulnerability scanners to detect
known-vulnerable dependencies appeared in the last decade, however,
there exists no case study investigating the impact of development
practices, e.g., forking, patching, re-bundling, on their performance.
This paper studies (i) types of modifications that may affect vulnerable
open-source dependencies and (ii) their impact on the performance of
vulnerability scanners. Through an empirical study on 7,024 Java
projects developed at SAP, we identified four types of modifications:
re-compilation, re-bundling, metadata-removal and re-packaging. In
particular, we found that more than 87 percent (56 percent, resp.) of
the vulnerable Java classes considered occur in Maven Central in
re-bundled (re-packaged, resp.) form. We assessed the impact of these
modifications on the performance of the open-source vulnerability
scanners OWASP Dependency-Check (OWASP) and Eclipse Steady, GitHub
Security Alerts, and three commercial scanners. The results show that
none of the scanners is able to handle all the types of modifications
identified. Finally, we present Achilles, a novel test suite with 2,505
test cases that allow replicating the modifications on open-source
dependencies.},

Abstract = {Optimal Spectral Sampling (OSS) is a new approach to radiative transfer
modeling which addresses the need for algorithm speed, accuracy, and
flexibility. The OSS technique allows for the rapid calculation of
radiance for any class of multispectral, hyperspectral, or ultraspectral
sensors at any spectral resolution operating in any region from
microwave through UV wavelengths by selecting and appropriately
weighting the monochromatic points that contribute over the sensor
bandwidth. This allows for the calculation to be performed at a small
number of spectral points while retaining the advantages of a
monochromatic calculation such as exact treatment of multiple scattering
and/or polarization. The OSS method is well suited for remote sensing
applications which require extremely fast and accurate radiative
transfer calculations: atmospheric compensation, spectral and spatial
feature extraction, multi-sensor data fusion, sub-pixel spectral
analysis, qualitative and quantitative spectral analysis, sensor design
and data assimilation. The OSS was recently awarded a U.S. Patent
(\#6,584,405) and is currently used as part of the National
Polar-Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) CrIS,
CMIS, and OMPS-IR environmental parameter retrieval algorithms. This
paper describes the theoretical basis and development of OSS and shows
examples of the application and validation of this technique for a
variety of different sensor types and applications.},

Journal = {EMPIRICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {22},
Number = {1},
Pages = {407-435},
Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {Open Source Software projects are communities in which people ``learn
the ropes{''} from each other. The social and technical activities of
developers evolve together, and as they link to each other they get
organized in a network of changing socio-technical connections. Traces
of those activities, or behaviors, are typically visible to all, in
project repositories and through communication between them. Thus, in
principle it may be possible to study those traces to tell which of the
observable socio-technical behaviors of developers in these projects are
responsible for the forming of persistent links between them. It may
also be possible to tell the extent to which links participate in the
spread of potential behavioral influences. Since OSS projects change in
both social and technical activity over time, static approaches, that
either ignore time or simplify it to a few slices, are frequently
inadequate to study these networks. On the other hand, ad-hoc dynamic
approaches are often only loosely supported by theory and can yield
misleading findings. Here we adapt the stochastic actor-oriented models
from social network analysis. These models enable the study of the
interplay between behavior, influence and network architecture, for
dynamic networks, in a statistically sound way. We apply the stochastic
actor-oriented models in case studies of two Apache Software Foundation
projects, and study code ownership and developer productivity as
behaviors. For those, we find evidence of significant social selection
effects (homophily) in both projects, but in different directions.
However, we find no evidence for the spread (social influence) of either
code ownership or developer productivity behaviors through the networks.},

Abstract = {The usage of Open Source Software (OSS) has been extended in a wide
range of business fields not only IT industries. Behind this current
situation, there are tremendous inputs by the volunteer engineers in the
development communities. In this series of studies, we have conducted
questionnaire survey to Japanese IT companies in 2012 and 2013, and then
analyzed the relation between OSS utilization and development
contribution, and how these affect the business growth. Our study
revealed that Japanese IT companies are rather free riders of OSS, the
volume of development contributions are far less than that of
utilization. From our previous studies, it was anticipated that some
OSS-related factors were affecting the business growth; however, clear
evidence has not been found. In autumn 2014, we conducted the
questionnaire survey for the third time and this paper presents the
survey results as the second report of the continued research. We
constructed the simplified Logistic Model to investigate the influential
factors on business growth. However, no clear evidence was found as the
same as the previous study. In summary, we conclude that there are some
form of relationships between OSS utilization and development
contribution, but these are not the determinant factors on the business
growth in the Japanese IT companies at present.},

Abstract = {Many software products are available free of charge. While the benefits
resulting from network externality have been examined in the related
literature, the effect of free offer on the diffusion of new software
has not been formally analyzed. We show in this study that even if other
benefits do not exist, a software firm can still benefit from giving
away fully functioning software. This is due to the accelerated
diffusion process and subsequently the increased net present value of
future sales. By adapting the Bass diffusion model to capture the impact
of free software offer, we provide a methodology to determine the
optimal number of free adopters. We show that the optimal free offer
solution depends on the discount rate, the length of the demand window,
and the ratio of low-valuation to high-valuation free adopters. Our
methodology is shown to be applicable for both fixed and dynamic pricing
strategies.},

Title = {Development of a Simple Analog-to-digital Converter Using Free-software},
Journal = {BUNSEKI KAGAKU},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {70},
Number = {12},
Pages = {737-743},
Abstract = {We have developed a simple analog-to-digital converter (ADC) by using
free software such as computer-aided design (CAD) software for an
electronic circuit, a filter circuit simulator, an integrated-developing
environment (IDE) for programming a controller, and that for a PC to
acquire and display the data. The ADC can record a temporal signal
produced by chromatography and flow-injection analysis. It has two
voltage measurement ranges: +/- 2.048 V and +/- 1.024 V, respectively,
with 14-bit resolution and a four samples s(-1) sampling rate. The
voltage resolution is 0.25 mV and 0.125 mV per one ADC reading for +/-
2.048 V and +/- 1.024 V, respectively. Its dimensions were 100x70x30 mm,
and mass was 110 g. We have evaluated its performance, including the
linearity and the difference between the two devices. For +/- 1.024 V
range, the calibration curve for one ADC and another was D = 7954V 5 and
D = 7946V + 30, respectively, where D is an ADC reading, and V is an
input voltage. For another range, it was D = 3972V - 3 and D = 3968V +
15, respectively. Their slopes and intercept agreed with each other, and
had good linearity, R-2 > 0.9999. We have then successfully applied it
to the sequential injection analysis (SIA) of chromium(VI) using
diphenylcarbazide as a coloring reagent. The circuit diagram and
programs developed in this paper are available on our website.},

Abstract = {There seems to be a widespread perception amongst researchers and
teachers that many students find chemistry difficult {[}1]. Having a
good knowledge of molecular structure is crucial to work out polarity of
compounds, intermolecular forces and their relationship with properties.
In addition, it is very important to understand the inorganic systems
that explain the behaviour of atoms, ions and molecules in understanding
the phenomena of organic chemistry {[}2]. Therefore, the understanding
of spatial structures is central to the discipline of chemistry.
However, in textbooks molecular structures are represented as
two-dimensional objects and as result, students might find difficult to
switch from 2D to 3D structures or images. Using 3 dimensional models
help students acquire a better understanding of molecular geometry and
encourage active learning. Computer visualizations now offer an
interesting possible alternative to concrete or physical models {[}3].
Jmol is one of the most prevalent molecular visualization tools in STEM
education. It is a free open source software for interactive molecular
visualization. This work describes the implementation of the Jmol
visualization tool in a module on General Chemistry for Engineers during
the academic year 2016-2017. The goals were three-fold. Firstly, to use
the Jmol visualization application as a teaching tool for classroom
demonstration. Then, to provide students with the skills to use the
molecular visualization tool for their own learning process. Finally, to
actively engage students with generation and manipulation of molecular
models. Jmol application was used during Lectures to teach about
molecular structure. Students then had to download and use the
application on their own to complete several worksheets. Later on, Jmol
molecular models were also used to aid student understanding of organic
chemistry, including isomerism. Additional worksheets and assignments
involved the use of Jmol visualization tool. The evaluation of the
software implementation on the module was carried out by marking the
worksheets and by a survey that was conducted among the students.},

Abstract = {In the last decades, companies have been forced to restructure their
processes to remain competitive in a globalized world. To achieve this
they had to use strategies which allowed them to reach the minimum
adaptation development and in this way they could face changes imposed
by the market. This has led companies to use process reengineering as a
sustainability alternative. In this work we describe some strategies
based on free software which can be applied in process reengineering to
achieve this goal. In this process is taken into account the emergence
of free software which has allowed companies venturing into new ways of
performing this reengineering because, by means of collaborative work,
they reduced time and costs for many of their processes.},

projects. However, there is often a high turnover among contributors (in
some projects as high as 80\%). The survivability of contributors is
influenced by various factors, including their demographics. Research on
contributors' survivability must, therefore, consider diversity factors.
This study longitudinally analyzed the impact of demographic attributes
on survivability in the Flutter community through the lens of gender,
region, and compensation. The preliminary analysis reveals that
affiliated or Western contributors have a higher survival probability
than volunteer or Non-Western contributors. However, no significant
difference was found in the survival probability between men and women.},

Abstract = {The Fermi Gamma-ray Observatory, including the Large Area Telescope
(LAT), was launched June 11, 2008. We are a relatively small
collaboration, with a maximum of 25 software developers in our heyday.
Within the LAT collaboration we support Red Hat Linux, Windows, and are
moving towards Mac OS as well for offline simulation, reconstruction and
analysis tools. Early on it was decided to use one software system to
run our simulations as well as ultimately handle the event processing
for real data. We leveraged many existing HEP external libraries
(Geant4, Gaudi Framework, ROOT, CLHEP, CMT) to ease the burden on our
developers. This strategy of re-using existing software helped us pull
together our system quickly and test during our beam tests and data
challenges. Now, after launch, we are in a new phase of the project,
where we must move forward to support modern operating systems and
compilers to get us through the life of the mission. This means
upgrading our external libraries as well, which are not under our direct
control. Meanwhile, it is crucial to our production system that we
carefully orchestrate all upgrades to insure stability. An additional
hurtle is that our number of active developers has dwindled
dramatically. Many of those left are Windows developers reliant on the
Visual Studio development environment, while our user base and
production system depend on our Linux distributions. There have been a
number of lessons learned, with undoubtedly more to come.},

Abstract = {The gender gap is a significant concern facing the software industry as
the development becomes more geographically distributed. Widely shared
reports indicate that gender differences may be specific to each region.
However, how complete can these reports be with little to no research
reflective of the Open Source Software (OSS) process and communities
software is now commonly developed in? Our study presents a multi-region
geographical analysis of gender inclusion on GitHub. This mixed-methods
approach includes quantitatively investigating differences in gender
inclusion in projects across geographic regions and investigate these
trends over time using data from contributions to 21,456 project
repositories. We also qualitatively understand the unique experiences of
developers contributing to these projects through a survey that is
strategically targeted to developers in various regions worldwide. Our
findings indicate that gender diversity is low across all parts of the
world, with no substantial difference across regions. However, there has
been statistically significant improvement in diversity worldwide since
2014, with certain regions such as Africa improving at faster pace. We
also find that most motivations and barriers to contributions (e.g.,
lack of resources to contribute and poor working environment) were
shared across regions, however, some insightful differences, such as how
to make projects more inclusive, did arise. From these findings, we
derive and present implications for tools that can foster inclusion in
open source software communities and empower contributions from
everyone, everywhere.},

Volume = {14},

Pages = {23-33},
Abstract = {The article is devoted to one of the most famous works of H. W. Henze
``Das Flog der Medusa{''} ({''}The Raft of Medusa{''}), often seen as an
example of Henze's political engagement. The author of the article
concludes that the oratorio was recognized as a political composition in
large part due to the accompanying circumstances of its creation and
premiere, but not based on the original idea and its realisation. The
author demonstrate ``Das Flog der Medusa{''} like a example of the
protest music as a direction that exposes not only fascism, but also any
form of social inequality, violence against the person. The study of the
features of choral style of ``Das Flog der Medusa{''} reveals parallels
in the textural structure between Henze's oratorio and Nono's works of
the 1950s ({''}La victoire de Guernica{''}, ``Il canto sospeso{''},
``Intolleranza 1960{''}). The use of political text resources, the
operation of individual syllables and phonemes of a literary text, work
with multilingual verbal rows, the active use of diagonal texture - all
this brings together the choral works of two contemporaries. At the same
time, Henze's composition also reflected the searches in the field of
vocal timbre, characteristic of other composers of Darmstadt Summer
Course - the use of various modifications of speech singing ( Sprech-
gesang ), the latest techniques of vocal articulation (vocal tremolo,
prolongation of the anterolingual vibrant). All this together allows us
to talk about Henz's oratorio as one of the most peculiar choral
compositions of the late 1960s.},

Volume = {59},

Abstract = {Delineation of geographic space partitions landscapes into regions that
express relative homogeneity within those delineated regions and many
efforts exist to analyze the resulting shapes that these delineations
produce. There is a desire to establish means by which the shapes of
planar polygons can be measured, characterized, and compared. I present
the ShrinkShape2 toolbox, a completely redesigned set of end-user tools
(an advancement of its precursor ShrinkShape) that is implemented
seamlessly in the free and opensource R and SAGA GIS environments. This
free, efficient, and accessible environment provides a multidimensional,
rotation invariant, scale-controlled method for characterizing and
comparing planar shapes and tools for visualizing results. ShrinkShape2
incrementally buffers polygons internally until the point of extinction;
at each shrinking phase a series of summary metrics are computed to form
spectra of index values that characterize general characteristics of
shape structure and complexity. Demonstrations with simple synthetic
shapes, political boundary maps, and a sample sub-Arctic pond
demonstrate the ability to assess boundary complexity, pinch-points, and
identify holes within larger shapes. For perfectly convex and compact
shapes, perimeter decompositions will decrease linearly and area
decompositions will decrease according to one limb of a second-order
polynomial function relative to the cumulative shrinking distance.

Journal = {BRAZILIAN ORAL RESEARCH},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {33},
Abstract = {The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of environmental
and socioeconomic characteristics with the use of dental floss in
preschool children. This cross-sectional study was conducted with a
sample of 402 preschool children aged 1-5 years, from Santa Cruz do Sul,
a Southern city in Brazil. Mothers answered questions about
environmental, demographic, and socioeconomic characteristics. Behavior
variables as use of dental floss (study outcome) and dental attendance
were also evaluated. Poisson regression analysis with robust variance
through a hierarchical approach was used to investigate the association
of explanatory variables for use of dental floss. Prevalence ratio (PR)
and 95\% confidence intervals (95\%CI) were estimated. The mean sample
age was 3.32 years (standard deviation {[}SD] 1.10). Of the included
children, 291 (73.12\%) did not use dental floss. The environmental
model indicated that children who attended daycare (PR 2.53; 95\%CI
1.39-4.60) and those whose parents were members of volunteer networks
(RP 1.58; 95\%CI 1.02-2.46) were more likely to use dental floss.
Children from families with higher income (PR 1.55; 95\%CI 1.07-2.24)
and maternal schooling (PR 2.21; 95\%CI 1.31-3.74) presented a higher
prevalence of dental floss use. Older children and those who attended
dental services were also related to higher dental floss use. Our
findings suggest that children who live in a supporting environment and
those with a higher socioeconomic status are more likely to use dental
floss.},

Title = {Investigating the vulnerability fixing process in OSS projects:
Peculiarities and challenges},
Journal = {COMPUTERS \& SECURITY},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {99},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Although vulnerabilities can be considered and treated as bugs, they
present numerous pe-culiarities compared to other types of bugs
(canonical bugs in the remainder of the paper). A vulnerability adds
functionality to a system, as it allows an adversary to misuse or abuse
the system, while a canonical bug is an incomplete or incorrect
implementation of a requirement, and thus degrades the functionality of
the system. This difference can affect the fixing process of
vulnerabilities. By mining the repositories of 6 open source projects,
we characterize the differences in the fixing process between
vulnerabilities and canonical bugs, highlighting critical issues which
could represent challenges for future research. Results of our study
demonstrate that: (i) more re-assignments (than the ones observed in
canonical bugs) are required for finding the developers able to handle
vulnerability-related bugs, (ii) developers' security-related skills
should be profiled, to improve the efficiency of the security bug
assignment tasks, and, consequently, reduce the re-assignments, and
(iii) vulnerabilities require more effort, contributors and time to
define the fixing strategy but smaller time to fix than canonical bugs.

Abstract = {Context: Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects have been used
in Software Engineering Education (SEE) to address the need for more
realistic settings that reduce the gap between software engineering (SE)
courses and industry needs. A systematic mapping study (SMS) performed
in 2013 structured the research area on the use of FLOSS projects in
SEE. Objective: Update the 2013 SMS with studies published in the last
five years, classifying and summarizing them to discuss trends and
identify research gaps in the context of the use of FLOSS projects in
SEE. Method: We retrieved and analyzed a set of 4132 papers published
from 2013 to 2017, from which 33 papers were selected and classified. We
analyzed the new results and compared them with those from the previous
SMS to confirm or discover trends. Results: The updated mapping
summarizes the studies published in the last five years, most of them in
conferences. Our analysis confirmed trends previously observed for three
facets (SE area, curriculum choice and assessment type) and discovered
new trends for other facets. Conclusion: Studies report the use of FLOSS
projects in regular, comprehensive SE courses. The prevalence of
experience reports over solution proposals in the last five years may
indicate that researchers are more concerned with the use and evaluation
of existing proposals, although there are still opportunities for more
empirical work based on sound educational research methods.},

Abstract = {Free and open source software (FOSS) movement essentially arises like
answer to the evolution occurred in the market from the software,
characterized by the closing of the source code. Furthermore, some FOSS
characteristics, such as (1) the advance of this movement and (2) the
attractiveness that contributes the voluntary and cooperative work, have
increased the interest of the users towards free software.
Traditionally, research in FOSS has focused on identifying individual
personal motives for participating in the development of a FOSS project,
analyzing specific FOSS solutions, or the FOSS movement itself.
Nevertheless, the advantages of the FOSS for users and the effect of the
demographic dimensions on user acceptance for FOSS have been two
research topics with little attention. Specifically, this paper's aim is
to focus on the influence of the users' age with FOSS the FOSS
acceptance. Based on the literature, users' age is an essential
demographic dimension for explaining the Information Systems acceptance.
With this purpose, the authors have developed a research model based on
the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM).},

Abstract = {The paper presents a survey of aspects related to the adoption of Open

inside the QualiPSo project and was carried out using a qualitative
study based on a structured questionnaire focused on perceptions of
experts and development practices used by companies involved in the Open
Source Software industry. The results of the survey confirm intuitive
concerns related to the adoption of Open Source Software as: the
selection of the license, the quality issues addressed, and the
development process tasks inside Open Source Software projects. The
study uncovered specific aspects related to trust and trustworthiness of
the Open Source Software development process that we did not find in
previous studies as: the standards implemented by the OSS project, the
project's roadmap is respected, and the communication channels that are
available.},

Journal = {EARTH SCIENCE INFORMATICS},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {6},
Number = {3},
Pages = {165-173},
Month = {SEP},
Abstract = {An in-depth knowledge of the littoral system is essential for its
conservation and for an accurate planning of due interventions. The
parabolic bay shape equation, used to study the embayed beach planform,
is a qualitatively assessed instrument to obtain information about beach
equilibrium conditions. Nowadays the equation has been extended in order
to be applicable not only to sand beaches but also to gravel beaches. In
this paper Phoebus user-friendly software for an automatic use of the
extended parabolic bay shape equation is presented. The software enables
both technical experts and non-professionals to conduct expeditious
analysis in order to evaluate the evolution and equilibrium conditions
of embayed littoral beaches lying between natural headlands or man-made
structures, as well as to artificially recreate stable embayed beaches
by building new artificial structures on open beaches. The software can
be also used for coastal planning, to anticipate beach modifications in
response to new building or to changes in pre-existing structures.
Highlights
1. Development of a free software to automatically compute embayed beach
planform
2. The system can be used on every type of beach image
3. The software allows to display the planform both for sand and gravel
beaches
4. Software reliability was demonstrated for natural and artificial bay
beaches.},

Abstract = {The paper presents reflections about public policies in communication

software, which, apparently consolidated, needs analysis in its constant
evolution. The text aims to question the fact that the market develops
proprietary software, as opposed to the collaborationist ideal of the
free software movement, that enables digital inclusion and
participation, which is intended to be adopted through public policies,
extending its use to the public education agencies. It also discusses
the concept of free software and its adoption in college education
through resolutions adopted by the Brazilian state, analyzing the
experience of the Journalism Course at Federal University of Uberlandia
- UFU - on the use of free software Scribus. Methodologically, document
research was used to find the data and information provided by the
federal government and the object institution of the analysis. A
comparison with a similar proprietary software model is made,
highlighting that the use of free software is reliable, allowing to
develop the communitarian and collaborationist spirit needed in the
university environment, expanding the knowledge and not merely the
``dressage at the pressing of buttons{''}. It is noted, based on the
documents, that the initiative is still seen with resistance and its
use, even in public CEIs (College Education Institutions), needs to be
intensified.},

Abstract = {Since the users of open source software (OSS) projects may not use the
latest version all the time, OSS development teams often support code
maintenance for old versions through maintaining multiple stable
branches. Typically, the developers create a stable branch for each old
stable version, deploy security patches on the branch, and release fixed
versions at regular intervals. As such, old-version applications in
production environments are protected from the disclosed vulnerabilities
in a long time. However, the rapidly growing number of OSS
vulnerabilities has greatly strained this patch deployment model, and a
critical need has arisen for the security community to understand the
practice of security patch management across stable branches. In this
work, we conduct a large-scale empirical study of stable branches in OSS
projects and the security patches deployed on them via investigating 608
stable branches belonging to 26 popular OSS projects as well as more
than 2,000 security fixes for 806 CVEs deployed on stable branches.
Our study distills several important findings: (i) more than 80\%
affected CVE-Branch pairs are unpatched; (ii) the unpatched
vulnerabilities could pose a serious security risk to applications in
use, with 47.39\% of them achieving a CVSS score over 7 (High or
Critical Severity); and (iii) the patch porting process requires great
manual efforts and takes an average of 40.46 days, significantly
extending the time window for N-day vulnerability attacks. Our results
reveal the worrying state of security patch management across stable
branches. We hope our study can shed some light on improving the
practice of patch management in OSS projects.},

Abstract = {The products of Open Source Software (OSS) projects are widely used even
in commercial mission-critical and high-availability systems. This is
because both the quality of these software products is high enough for
these applications and the support of software could fulfill the
requirement. In general, when one wants to adopt OSS as a part of
computer systems, it is required to examine the functional requirement
(FR) for the OSS as well as nonfunctional requirement (NFR).
In the previous paper, we focused on NFR of OSS and proposed an
evaluation method based on the maturity model of OSS community. Based on
the model, we tried to evaluate four major OSS communities. For the
evaluation, we used human knowledge of targeted OSS community. However
it was not clear how to evaluate individual OSS project in OSS
community.
In this paper, we focused on continuity of OSS project, as it is one of
the most important factors for users to make a decision. In order to
evaluate continuity, we proposed a growth model of OSS project, which is
based on the size and activity of OSS Project. We evaluated the growth
model using information retrieved from OSS communities from both OSS
community sites and source code repositories. (C) 2015 The Authors.

Case Study of Three Hybrid Projects},
Journal = {ACM TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING AND METHODOLOGY},
Year = {2016},
Volume = {25},
Number = {2},
Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {Motivation: Open-source projects are often supported by companies, but
such involvement often affects the robust contributor inflow needed to
sustain the project and sometimes prompts key contributors to leave. To
capture user innovation and to maintain quality of software and
productivity of teams, these projects need to attract and retain
contributors. Aim: We want to understand and quantify how inflow and
retention are shaped by policies and actions of companies in three
application server projects. Method: We identified three hybrid projects
implementing the same JavaEE specification and used published
literature, online materials, and interviews to quantify actions and
policies companies used to get involved. We collected project repository
data, analyzed affiliation history of project participants, and used
generalized linear models and survival analysis to measure contributor
inflow and retention. Results: We identified coherent groups of policies
and actions undertaken by sponsoring companies as three models of
community involvement and quantified tradeoffs between the inflow and
retention each model provides. We found that full control mechanisms and
high intensity of commercial involvement were associated with a decrease
of external inflow and with improved retention. However, a shared
control mechanism was associated with increased external inflow
contemporaneously with the increase of commercial involvement.
Implications: Inspired by a natural experiment, our methods enabled us
to quantify aspects of the balance between community and private
interests in open-source software projects and provide clear
implications for the structure of future open-source communities.},

related work, this study investigates OSS peer review processes from a
different perspective. We investigate the importance of OSS peer review
contributor roles and their review activities by using social network
analysis (SNA), proposed as PeRSoN (Peer Review Social Network). As a
case study, we extracted and analyzed the review process of Android Open
Source Project (AOSP). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first
research constructing social networks from mining a peer review
repository. Our preliminary results provided hints on relationships
among the OSS peer review contributor roles, their activities, and the
network structure. The results raised issues that will be used to refine
our approach in the future.},

Abstract = {We examine how network centrality and closure, two key aspects of

the content of potential information flows within the network and argue
that the impact of network structure on technology adoption can be
better understood by separately examining its impact from two groups of
alters-current and potential adopters. We contend that increased network
centrality and closure among current adopters contribute positively to
adoption, whereas the same among potential adopters has exactly the
opposite impact. Accordingly, we propose a dynamic view where the
fraction of current adopters in the network positively moderates the
impact of network centrality and closure. We empirically test the theory
by analyzing the adoption of software version control technology by open
source software projects. Our results strongly support the theory.},

Abstract = {The Observatory adopted a thematic procedure of evaluating and
monitoring changes in natural resources. Data from previous Studies were
also reworked to fit into the themes being monitored. Temporal trends
were evaluated using polynomial curve Fitting, which were confirmed by
statistical analyses. The extracted trends indicate a steady increase in
air temperature, relative humidity and annual rainfall, while wind speed
declined. The standardized seasonal rainfall Shows all autumn trend that
approximates the annual trend With amplitude of live years, while
rainfall during the winter declines and inclines during above the
long-term average during spring. Concurrently, sodium, sulfate and
chloride soil concentrations increased rapidly in the late 1990s,
together with increases ill the very fine sand fraction, which reflects
the active erosion and deposition processes associated with recent human
interference. There is a general process of recharging plant species
diversity (long-term records; 122 perennials and 104 annuals) in the
late 1990s following a sizeable decline; 26 perennials with declining
density and spatial occupation call be considered at threat. Some of
these species are transient and show a three-year cycle of species
replacement (turnover when related to added species). The change ill the
diversity of perennial species is allied to changes in rainfall,
temperature and wind speed related to the climatic, salinity,
bicarbonate, calcium, and Sulfate of the edaphic variables. This also
applies to endangered species, where especially air temperature and Soil
sulfates are the most determinant driving factors. Further, a shift of
the rainfall above the long-term average from winter to spring
elucidates the trend of change detected ill the diversity. It is
concluded that the diversity of biotops (spatial heterogeneity in
habitats) ill the area is the influential base for the biodiversity and
is greatly affected by human impact. Concurrently, climatic changes and
the associated environmental degradation of soil resources are more
cyclic (recurring) phenomena, which reflect specific feedback effects

Abstract = {This article focuses on a kind of nonstrict nonlinear fractional-order
systems (FOSs) suffering from state constraints and dead-zone input.
Meanwhile, a finite-time adaptive dynamic surface control (DSC) approach
based on backstepping technology and approximation principle of radial
basis function neural network (RBFNN) is developed. To overcome the
problem of inherent computational complexity, a fractional-order filter
is applied to approach the virtual controller and its fractional-order
derivative in each step of the backstepping procedure. The barrier
Lyapunov function (BLF) is employed to handle the state constraints, and
finite-time stability criteria on the basis of fractional-order Lyapunov
method are introduced to prove the finite-time convergence of the
tracking error into a small region around the origin. It is shown that
all the solutions of the closed-loop system are bounded, while the state
constraints are satisfied within a predetermined finite time. Finally,
two examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the
presented control scheme.},

mainframe operation support systems (OSS) with new generation components
that can handle the requirements posed by new service offerings, which
means the NG-OSS should pay attention to customers rather than networks.
This paper examines the legacy OSS frame with its main component and
analysis which part should be weakened or converged, and which part
should be enhanced or updated. Then it suggests a more idealized view of
a functional OSS architecture that conforms to the concepts of the
TeleManagement Forum's Telecom Operations Map (TOM) model. In the last,
it discusses bow to evolve the OSS from the network-focused to
customers-focused successfully and smoothly.},

Month = {MAY},
Abstract = {With the objective of recovering the values of ignition delays of
reactive heterogeneous mixtures a singlestep chemistry model has been
developed. The corresponding model extends a recent optimization
procedure introduced to describe flame propagation in heterogeneous
media featuring composition variations (equivalence ratio and
temperature) in the fresh reactants or containing residual burned gases
(RBG). It is based on the use of an optimized virtual species and a
tabulation of the pre-exponential coefficient of an Arrhenius law. The
main results of high activation energy asymptotics (AEA) are first
recalled to put in evidence the key parameters and the dependence of the
ignition delay on the corresponding quantities. The optimization
procedure is then applied to these parameters, namely, the
pre-exponential factor K and the activation energy E-a of the associated
single-step Arrhenius law. An efficient tabulation method benefiting
from both rapid access and low storage is proposed for the composition
variable (the mixture fraction, in the present case). Finally, the
restitution of both ignition and propagation features is ensured through
the consideration of the cross-over temperature. The performance of the
resulting model is then assessed through comparisons with data obtained
from detailed chemistry computations used as reference in several
conditions of increasing complexity. (C) 2021 The Combustion Institute.

Abstract = {So far we have used OSS strategy to sequence over 2 megabases DNA in
large-insert clones from regions of human X chromosome with different
characteristic levels of GC content. The method starts by randomly
fragmenting a BAG, YAC or PAC to 8-12 kb pieces and subcloning those
into lambda phage. Insert-ends of these clones are sequenced and
overlapped to create a partial map. Complete sequencing is then done on
a minimal tiling path of selected subclones, recursively focusing on
those at the edges of contigs to facilitate mergers of clones across the
entire target. To reduce manual labor, PCR processes have been adapted
to prepare sequencing templates throughout the entire operation. The
streamlined process can thus lend itself to further automation.
The OSS approach is suitable for large-scale genomic sequencing,
providing considerable flexibility in the choice of subclones or regions
for more or less intensive sequencing. For example, subclones containing
contaminating host cell DNA or cloning vector can be recognized and
ignored with minimal sequencing effort; regions overlapping a
neighboring clone already sequenced need not be redone; and segments
containing tandem repeats or long repetitive sequences can be spotted
early on and targeted for additional attention.},

We find that the overall rate of pastebin adoption follows the S-curve
predicted by classic DoI theory. We then compare the individual pastebin
services and their rates of adoption, as well as the reaction of
different communities to the new tools and the various rationales for

Abstract = {In the process of obtaining Calotropis gigantea seed fibers from pods,
drying and broadening pod suture are the prerequisites of harvesting
fibers. In this paper, the drying characteristics of Calotropis gigantea
pods on microwave radiation by using different drying methods, different
microwave powers, and different time periods, are studied, and the
corresponding impacts on fiber quality are analyzed. The experimental
results show that obtaining Calotropis gigantea seed fibers by microwave
heating the pods is feasible. Compared to natural air drying and hot air
drying, the microwave drying (MW can significantly improve the drying
efficiency and reduce the drying time by more than 5 times. The
microwave power has considerable influences on the drying rate. However,
the fiber strength and break elongation are reduced with the increase of
microwave power due to fiber structural change caused by the high
temperature inside the pod. Compared with intermittent radiation, the
moisture loss rate of the pods is greater in continuous radiation mode,
but the pod internal temperature is higher, which is harmful to the
quality of the fibers. Varying power radiation, which uses lower power
first, then higher, could shorten drying time without impeding the pods'
abdominal suture broadening.},

since they can enrich their portfolio and learn with real world

performance. The goal of this work is to analyze the use of gamification
to orient and motivate undergraduate students to overcome onboarding
barriers and engage to OSS projects. To achieve this goal, we
implemented four gaming elements (Quests, Points, Ranking, and Levels)
in GitLab and assessed the environment by means of a study conducted
with 17 students, within a real OSS project (JabRef). At the end of the
study, the students evaluated their experience through a questionnaire.
We found that the Quest element helped to guide participants and keep
them motivated and points helped by providing feedback on students'
performed tasks. We conclude that the gamified environment oriented the
students in an attempt to make a contribution and that gamification can
motivate and orient newcomers' to engage to OSS projects.},

Abstract = {Quality-related concerns are often coined with the terms non-functional
requirements, architecturally significant requirements, and quality
attributes. Collectively, these qualities affect non-behavioral concerns
of the software system such as reliability, usability, security, or
maintainability among others. As a byproduct of a long-term maintenance
effort, these system qualities tend to erode over time, causing
system-wide failures that emerge via quality-related bugs.
Quality-related bugs can have a detrimental impact on system's sustained
stability and can chiefly hinder its core functionality. Typically, for
the developers, to manually examine these high-impacted quality-related
bugs can become prohibitively expensive and impractical task to attain.
This is often a case with bugs that are reported from medium or
large-sized projects such as Eclipse. To alleviate this problem, we
built a quality-based classifier to automatically detect these emerging
quality-related concerns from textual descriptions of bug report
summaries. Specifically, we leveraged a weighted combination of
semantics, lexical, and shallow features in conjunction with the Random
Forest ensemble learning method. Finally, we discuss the practical
applicability of our classifier for mapping and visualizing
quality-related concerns into the codebase with an example from the
Derby project. To summarize, this work represents an effort and an early
awareness to improve the underlying management of issue tracking systems
and stakeholder requirements in open-source communities.},

Abstract = {An increasing number of free software tools have been made available for
the evaluation of fluorescence cell micrographs. The main users are
biologists and related life scientists with no or little knowledge of
image processing. In this review, we give an overview of available tools
and guidelines about which tools the users should use to segment
fluorescence micrographs. We selected 15 free tools and divided them
into stand-alone, Matlab-based, ImageJ-based, free demo versions of
commercial tools and data sharing tools. The review consists of two
parts: First, we developed a criteria catalogue and rated the tools
regarding structural requirements, functionality (flexibility,
segmentation and image processing filters) and usability (documentation,
data management, usability and visualization). Second, we performed an
image processing case study with four representative fluorescence
micrograph segmentation tasks with figure-ground and cell separation.
The tools display a wide range of functionality and usability. In the
image processing case study, we were able to perform figure-ground
separation in all micrographs using mainly thresholding. Cell separation
was not possible with most of the tools, because cell separation methods
are provided only by a subset of the tools and are difficult to
parametrize and to use. Most important is that the usability matches the

Title = {Risk of adopting mission-critical OSS applications: an interpretive case
study},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF OPERATIONS \& PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {34},
Number = {4},
Pages = {477-512},
Abstract = {Purpose - This study aims to explore the process of open source software
(OSS) adoption in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and more
specifically open source enterprise resource planning (ERP) as a
``mission critical{''} OSS application in manufacturing. It also
addresses the fundamental issue of ERP risk management that shapes this
process.
Design/methodology/approach - The approach is done through an
interpretive case study of a small Canadian manufacturer that has
adopted an open source ERP system.
Findings - Interpreted in the light of the IT risk management, OSS and
packaged application adoption literatures, results indicate that the
small manufacturer successfully managed the adoption process in a rather
intuitive manner, based on one guiding principle and nine practices. In
analyzing the data, diffusion of innovation theory appeared to fit
rather well with the situation observed and to offer rich insights to
explain the mission-critical OSS adoption process.
Research limitations/implications - A single case study of successful IT
adoption should be eventually counterbalanced by future cases considered
to be partial or total failures, using a wider multiple case study
approach for comparative purposes. And this should include alternative
theoretical interpretations and more detailed empirical work on the
extent to which the distinctive features of OSS make its adoption more
or less risk-laden. This initial effort should also be followed by
further research on mission-critical OSS adoption in contexts other than
SMEs (e.g. healthcare organizations) and other than ERP (e.g.
customer-relationship management).
Practical implications - This research confirms that open source is a
credible alternative for SMEs that decide willingly or under external
pressure to adopt a mission-critical system such as ERP. Moreover, it
suggests that a high level of formalization is not always necessary.
Originality/value - The authors argue that rich insights into the
dynamics of the mission-critical OSS adoption process can be obtained by
framing this process within an IT risk management context.},

Abstract = {Our focus in this paper is mainly on the GNU/LINUX operting system and
the advantages that it affords developing countries seeking to bridge
the global digital divide. In the early parts of the paper we argue
that, although GNU/LINUX can generate substantial savings when used
instead of the proprietary alternative, in numerous institutional
settings, the most telling opportunities-for developing countries arise
when this system is combined. with other ways of reducing computing
costs. Policy, therefore, should not only consist of substituting
GNU/LINUX for proprietary software in running the latest and most
expensive hardware, but also of lowering these latter costs themselves.
Later sections focus on the link between the choice of software and
path-dependency (i.e. the notion that if one system gets ahead, it tends
to lock out alternatives in the manner described by Brian Arthur). We
suggest that the problem of proprietary lock-in in developing countries
has been greatly accentuated by piracy of Microsoft operating systems
and that the result is a stagnation of the technological capabilities in
software that these countries need so badly.},

Abstract = {Artificial Intelligence is a branch of Computer Science with complex
subjects. A trend in the teaching and learning of Artificial
Intelligence is to use software where students modify the source code.
However, teachers do not use the freedoms of free software in their
classrooms. Based on a previous review, it is difficult to see
methodological indications to use or create new programs with these
characteristics for other teaching-learning processes. The goal of this
work is to develop a model of integration of educational free software
to the teaching-learning process of Artificial Intelligence. The authors
use several research methods: historical-logical, analysis and
synthesis, functional-structural-systemic and modeling. The model has
three fundamental components. The conceptual component represents the
principles and their theoretical foundations. The structural component
represents the main elements that intervene in the integration. The
instrumental component constitutes the materialization of the model and
contains three stages: preparation, execution and evaluation. The
authors used the focus group technique, a pre-experiment and Iadov's
satisfaction technique to validate the model. These methods made it
possible to verify the relevance of the model, its good acceptance by
the teachers and the acceptable satisfaction of the students after the
first application of the model.},

Abstract = {The lack of computational tools, i.e. software, often hinders the proper
teaching and application of geophysical data processing in academic
institutions in Indonesia. Although there are academic licensing options
for commercial software, such options are still way beyond the financial
capability of some academic institutions. Academic community members
(both lecturers and students) are supposed to be creative and
resourceful to overcome such situation. Therefore, capability for
writing computer programs or codes is a necessity. However, there are
also many computer programs and even software that are freely available
on the internet. Generally, the utility of the freely distributed
software is limited for demonstration only or for visualizing and
exchanging data. The paper discusses the utility of Geosoft's Oasis
Montaj Viewer along with USGS GX programs that are available for free.
Useful gravity and magnetic advanced data processing (i.e. gradient
calculation, spectral analysis etc.) can be performed ``correctly{''}
without any approximation that sometimes leads to dubious results and
interpretation.},

Abstract = {Medium-sized, open-participation Open Source Software (OSS) projects do
not usually perform explicit software process improvement on any routine
basis. It would be useful to understand how to get such a project to
accept a process improvement proposal and hence to perform process
innovation. We want to determine an effective and feasible qualitative
research method for studying the above question. We present
(narratively) a case study of how we worked towards and eventually found
such a research method. The case involves four attempts at collecting
suitable data about innovation episodes (direct participation (twice),
polling developers for episodes, manually finding episodes in mailing
list archives) and the adaptation of the Grounded Theory data analysis
methodology. Direct participation allows gathering rather rich data, but
does not allow for observing a sufficiently large number of innovation
episodes. Polling developers for episodes did not prove to be useful.
Using mailing list archives to find data to be analyzed is both feasible
and effective. We also describe how the data thus found can be analyzed
based on the Grounded Theory Method with suitable adjustments.
By-and-large, our findings ought to apply to studying various phenomena
in OSS development processes that are similarly heavyweight and
infrequent. However, specific details may block this possibility and we
cannot predict which details that might be. The amount of effort
involved in direct participation approaches to qualitative research can
easily be underestimated. Also, survey approaches are not well-suited
for many process issues in OSS, because too few developers are
sufficiently process-conscious. An approach based on passive observation
is a viable alternative in the OSS context due to the availability of
large amounts of fairly complete archival data.},

investigated. This paper presents seven case studies of businesses, five
of which were founded by people who identify with the free/libre
software movement. The result is a theory that small businesses founded
by free/libre software advocates have three characteristics of social
entrepreneurships. First, social benefit is prioritized over wealth
creation. Second, the business's social mission is not incidental but is
furthered through its for-pro fit activities, rather than supported by
the company's profits. Third, the company's success is de fined in part
by the success of its social mission. Free/libre software entrepreneurs
who recognize their activities as social entrepreneurships can bene fit
from the existing literature on the unique challenges faced by
socially-oriented businesses.},

Abstract = {Software reliability growth models (SRGMs) proposed on the foundations
of Non-Homogenous Poisson Process (NHPP) have been the most accepted way
to analyze reliability growth of a software since 1970's. Henceforth,
Literature witnesses the evolution of SRGMs in terms of different
assumptions, parameters, performance etc. This study is an attempt to
model reliability growth phenomenon for Open Source Software (OSS). As
the development process followed by OSS significantly differs from
proprietary software, traditional software engineering SDLC models can't
be followed for its development. OSS development procedure does not
incorporate a dedicated testing phase and therefore negligible effort
expenditure is done on testing of software prior its release. The volume
of volunteer participation in its operational phase thus becomes a
significant criterion in the representation of its reliability growth.
Also, the impact of sudden changes in fault detection process
(change-point) due to several reasons like variations in fault density,
irregular team size, volunteer expertise etc is captured in proposed
SRGM. This paper suggests a reliability model based on user growth with
the concept of change point to better cater the heterogeneity in
software failure process. Failure data of GNOME 2.0 is used in this
paper reliability growth analysis. Unknown parameters are estimated
using Least Square Estimation regression technique. Performance
inspection of proposed SRGM is carried out using goodness-of-fit
criteria like Mean square error (MSE), Coefficient of Determination
(R-2), Predictive Ratio Risk (PRR), and Predictive Power (PP). The study
recommends that introduction of the change-point in SRGM improves
prediction capability of the model and hence establishes an evidence of
its applicability.},

Title = {Quantitative Analysis of Fish Morphology Through Landmark and
Outline-based Geometric Morphometrics with Free Software},
Journal = {BIO-PROTOCOL},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {14},
Number = {20},
Month = {OCT 20},
Abstract = {Morphology underpins key biological and evolutionary processes that
remain elusive. This is in part due to the limitations in robustly and
quantitatively analyzing shapes within and between groups in an unbiased
and high- throughput manner. Geometric morphometrics (GM) has emerged as
a widely employed technique for studying shape variation in biology and
evolution. This study presents a comprehensive workflow for conducting
geometric morphometric analysis of fish morphology. The step-by-step
manual provides detailed instructions for using popular free software,
such as the TPS series, MorphoJ, ImageJ, and R, to carry out generalized
Procrustes analysis (GPA), principal component analysis (PCA),
discriminant function analysis (DFA), canonical variate analysis (CVA),
mean shape analysis, and thin plate spline analysis (TPS). The Momocs
package in R is specifically utilized for in-depth analysis of fish
outlines. In addition, selected functions from the dplyr package are
used to assist in the analysis. The full process of fish outline
analysis is covered, including extracting outline coordinates,
converting and scaling data, defining landmarks, creating data objects,
analyzing outline differences, and visualizing results. In conclusion,
the current protocol compiles a detailed method for evaluating fish
shape variation based on landmarks and outlines. As the field of GM
continues to evolve and related software develops rapidly, the
limitations associated with morphological analysis of fish are expected
to decrease. Interoperable data formats and analytical methods may
facilitate the sharing of morphological data and help resolve related
scientific problems. The convenience of this protocol allows for fast
and effective morphological analysis. Furthermore, this detailed
protocol could be adapted to assess image-based differences across a
broader range of species or to analyze morphological data of the same
species from different origins.},

Abstract = {Structural analysis and computer science are central subjects in the
(higher) education of civil engineers. Universities can focus the
potential and motivation of students to generate free dynamically
growing software. Our alliance of education and research has the aim to
design simple industrial buildings continuously in an optimal way. The
intended software accounts for complex interrelations of the structural
components as well as for mathematical optimization schemes. However, we
emphasize the importance of an easy access to the code and the
possibility to implement individual ideas. The claims and basic
conditions demand a strategy, which is different to the software
development of commercially used products. Due to the steady fluctuation
of the software developers merely temporary teams and an unforced
community of users result. Their feedback and loyalty to the software
project are mainly based on individual benefit but may also be motivated
by idealism. From our point of view, civil engineering has a broad base
to use software development as an interface between education and
profession. We discuss our experience for such a project and about an
experiment to benefit from building up a social network in this context.
In the second part of our article we present practical statements for
the optimized design of industrial sheds using this software.},

Abstract = {Participation in Open Source Software (OSS) projects offers real
software development experience for students and other newcomers seeking
to develop their skills. However, onboarding to an OSS project brings
various challenges, including finding a suitable task among various open
issues. Selecting an appropriate starter task requires newcomers to
identify the skills needed to solve a project issue and avoiding tasks
too far from their skill set. However, little is known about how
effective newcomers are in identifying the skills needed to resolve an
issue. We asked 154 undergrad students to evaluate issues from OSS
projects and infer the skills needed to contribute. Students reported a
total of 94 skills, which we classified into 10 categories. We compared
the students' answers to those collected from 6 professional developers.
In general, students misidentified and missed several skills
(f-measure=0.37). Students had results closer to professional developers
for skills related to database, operating infrastructure, programming
concepts, and programming language, and they had worse results in
identifying skills related to debugging and program comprehension. Our

Abstract = {Many studies have shown the benefits of introducing open-source projects
into teaching Software Engineering (SE) courses. However, there are
several limitations of existing studies that limit the wide adaptation
of open-source projects in a classroom setting, including (1) the
selected project is limited to one particular project, (2) most studies
only investigated on its effect on teaching a specific SE concept, and
(3) students may make mistakes in their contribution which leads to poor
quality code. Meanwhile, software companies have successfully launched
programs like Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and FindBugs ``fixit{''} to
contribute to open-source projects. Inspired by the success of these
programs, we propose GitHub-OSS Fixit, a team-based course project where
students are taught to contribute to open-source Java projects by fixing
bugs reported in GitHub. We described our course outline to teach
students SE concepts by encouraging the usages of several automated
program analysis tools. We also included the carefully designed
instructions that we gave to students for participating in GitHub-OSS
Fixit. As all lectures and labs are conducted online, we think that our
course design could help in guiding future online SE courses. Overall,
our survey results show that students think that GitHub-OSS Fixit could
help them to improve many skills and apply the knowledge taught in
class. In total, 154 students have submitted 214 pull requests to 24
different Java projects, in which 93 of them have been merged, and 46
have been closed by developers.},

Abstract = {Integrated Information Systems have become the standard in both small
and large companies as the most effective approach to managing critical
business processes, information flows, and supporting better decision
making. Taking note of the Free/Libre \& Open Source Software (FLOSS)
movement rise and benefits as well, in the contemporary climate of
fierce competition. A ready made FLOSS Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) System that offer great opportunities for cost reduction and
quality improvement is always a wiser decision for Developing Countries'
Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) over getting a ``From
scratch{''} software solution. The aim of this paper is to provide
further understanding of issues surrounding adoption of FLOSS ERP by SME
in Developing Countries. We employed the Unified Theory of Acceptance
and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) model to determine the strength of
predictors for SMEs' managers and directors' intention to accept and use
FLOSS ERP systems of better operational, tactical and strategical
decision making. Questionnaires were administered to 200 SMEs' managers
and directors in the Kingdom of Morocco, Republic of Tunisia and
Republic of Ivory Coast, with 177 returned, a xx\% return rate.
LimeSurvey and Google Forms have been used to collect data through web
based surveys published on-line, sent to people via email and via social
networks profiles, groups and pages. R Software for Statistical
Computing, Psych and Lavaan R packages for Structural Equation Modeling
were used to analyze data collected. The measurement and structure model
was examined using Structural Equation Modeling. Constructs Performance
Expectancy (PE) and Effort Expectancy (EE) significantly predicted
Behavioral Intention (BI) to use FLOSS ERP, where Social influence (SI),
Price Value (PV) and Use Behavior (UB) were statistically insignificant,
as was Facilitating Conditions (FC), Hedonic Motivation (HM), Habit (HT)
on both UB and BI. We recommend that future studies should differentiate
between SME's obtaining aids from government or NGOs, and other SMEs
that depends on its own resources, for more reliable results and
conclusions.},

Abstract = {In this article, an event-triggered adaptive fuzzy finite-time dynamic
surface control (DSC) is presented for a class of strict-feedback
nonlinear fractional-order systems (FOSs) with full-state constraints.
The fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) are employed to approximate uncertain
nonlinear functions in the backstepping process, the dynamic surface
method is applied to overcome the inherent computational complexity from
the virtual controller and its fractional-order derivative, and the
barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) is used to handle the full-state
constraints. By introducing the finite-time stability criteria from
fractional-order Lyapunov method, it is verified that the tracking error
converges to a small neighborhood near the zero and the full-state
constraints are satisfied within a predetermined finite time. Moreover,
reducing the communication burden can be guaranteed without the
occurrence of Zeno behavior, and the example is given to demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed controller.},

Abstract = {Treatment of gum disease often requires antibiotic treatment. In this
study, our objective was to advance the practicality of drug-coated
floss as an intra gum pocket drug delivery system. The initial design of
this delivery system has been previously reported by us. Here, we
advance the concept further through in vitro and in vivo evaluation. A
floss piece was dip coated in the middle section with model molecules
leaving free ends for holding. Porcine gum tissues were used ex vivo and
in vivo to evaluate the coated floss, including effect of coating
thickness on delivery efficiency, ability to deliver more than one type
of molecule (one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic), mechanical properties
using a scratch test, and finally retention of delivered material in
vivo in the porcine model. After reaching a certain coating thickness,
the delivery efficiency of the coated floss decreased, indicating the
presence of an optimal coating thickness. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic
molecules were successfully coated and delivered with high efficiency
into gum pockets. The scratch test indicated that the coatings were
resilient. Lastly, the in vivo analysis showed that the drug coating was
delivered into the porcine gum pocket with about 65\% efficiency, and
the coatings could maintain extended residency within the gum pocket
despite the native adverse environment of the oral cavity. Overall, this
data shows that drug-coated floss can act as a drug delivery vehicle and
has potential to provide a minimally invasive and practical method for
the delivery of drugs into the gum pockets.},

Abstract = {In this paper I draw on two case studies to examine participatory
learning in Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS). I contribute to
prior work on learning within FLOSS and also to the learning sciences by
illustrating how FLOSS supports lifelong learning and working by
providing an ecosystem that allows participants to grow their knowledge
of both technical and nontechnical skills over time through their
association with different projects and people. I trace the learning
trajectories of two participants from high school until they enter the
professional workforce and beyond. I argue that FLOSS participation
represents an ideal networked form of learning as it provides both
socio-cognitive support for short term activities and also
socio-temporal support for long term participation and learning. It is a
unique form of apprenticeship that exists concurrently with formal
educational experiences but unlike traditional apprenticeship
experiences it succeeds by spanning different spatialities - place/space
and technology mix and temporal scales.},

Abstract = {Interpersonal trust plays a crucial role in facilitating collaborative
tasks, such as software development. While previous research recognizes
the significance of trust in an organizational setting, there is a lack
of understanding in how trust is exhibited in OSS distributed teams,
where there is an absence of direct, in-person communications. To foster
trust and collaboration in OSS teams, we need to understand what trust
is and how it is exhibited in written developer communications (e.g.,
pull requests, chats). In this paper, we first investigate various
dimensions of trust to identify the ways trusting behavior can be
observed in OSS. Next, we sample a set of 100 GitHub pull requests from
Apache Software Foundation (ASF) projects, to analyze and demonstrate
how each dimension of trust can be exhibited. Our findings provide
preliminary insights into cues that might be helpful to automatically
assess team dynamics and establish interpersonal trust in OSS teams,
leading to successful and sustainable OSS.},

Abstract = {The Jzeren area in southwestern Norway has experienced great changes in
sea-levels and sedimentary environments during the Weichselian, and some
of these changes are recorded at Foss-Eikeland. Four diamictons
interbedded with glaciomarine and glaciofluvial sediments are exposed in
a large gravel pit situated above the post-glacial marine limit. The
interpretation of these sediments has implications for the history of
both the inland ice and the Norwegian Channel Ice Stream. During a
Middle Weichselian interstadial, a large glaciofluvial delta prograded
into a shallow marine environment along the coast of Jaeren. A minor
glacial advance deposited a gravelly journal of Quaternary Science
diamicton, and a glaciomarine diamicton was deposited during a following
marine transgression. This subsequently was reworked by grounded ice,
forming a well-defined boulder pavement. The boulder pavement is
followed by glaciomarine clay with a lower, laminated part and an upper
part of sandy clay. The laminated clay probably was deposited under
sea-ice, whereas more open glaciomarine conditions prevailed during
deposition of the upper part. The clay is intersected by clastic dykes
protruding from the overlying, late Weichselian till. Preconsolidation
values from the marine clay suggest an ice thickness of at least 500 m
during the last glacial phase. The large variations in sea-level
probably are a combined effect of eustasy and glacio-isostatic changes
caused by an inland ice sheet and an ice stream in the Norwegian
Channel. Copyright (C) 2002 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.},

Abstract = {The organization of shifts and on-call coverage of Cardiologists working
in a hospital complex structure must ensure the availability 24h, full
year, complying with laws and contractual, social and professional
obligations. It faces a `staff scheduling' problem.
The team consists of 16 Cardiologists to ensure daytime and nighttime
guards, a nighttime on-call service, on-call service for full day on
weekends and public holidays and a 24h hemodynamic on-call. Special
situations and exceptions are taken into account.
An original software was developed in Java to input data, generate the
mathematical model and read back the solution, relying on a open SQL
database. The solution is obtained by GUSEK, an open tool to the linear
programming solver GLPK minimizing the sum of the deviations from
individual quotas.
The system generates the shifts monthly. Typical computation time is few
minutes to ensure that a solution exists and few hours to obtain a
highly optimized solution. The system is in use for 22 months. It
provides equal assignment of Cardiologists to each type of shift with
uniform like distribution, avoiding immediate repetition of the same
shift. The software is open source available for download at:

Abstract = {The aims of this research are to explore and evaluate the nature of the

as well as the factors impacting their development at a national level.
The study proposes a theoretical framework, under the prism of which
socio-economic, technological and institutional factors critical to
eGovernment and OSS are revealed. The hypotheses are evaluated by means
of an econometric model of simultaneous equations. In order to better
gauge the results of the hypotheses, the model is evaluated over
economic environments at different stages of development.
Social development and OSS growth were found to be the most important
facilitators for eGovemment maturity, across countries of all stages of
development Institutional quality, technological openness, freedom in
press and the macro-economic environment exerted different weights of
importance across different country groupings. Findings also suggest
that technological infrastructure and innovation are important drivers
for OSS growth across countries at all stages of development. Research
results can provide useful input for research in eGov, as they open up
new directions in the study of the relation with OSS. (C) 2015 Elsevier

Abstract = {The IP Multimedia Sub-System (IMS) including the Service Delivery
Platform (SDP) architectures on the one hand and the Operation- or
Business Support Systeins (OSS/BSS) on the other hand represent the
result of efforts by standard bodies and the teleconintunication -or
information technology industry. New so-called third generation (3G) or
triple play services can be delivered to the market by means of using
these architectures as well as respective IT support systems.
Furthermore, various market players, stakeholders or alliances will come
up at the telecommunications arena. The paper will systematic ally
consider all these subject matters and elaborate that the use of New
Generation Systems and Software (NGOSS) principles will leverage the
OSS/BSS as well as IMS/SDP promise. In other words, to provide
efficiently IMS/SDP based services requires an ``IMS/SDP ready{''}
OSS/BSS. There will be lots of well-known as well as quite a few new
features to be provided by such an OSS/BSS. One example is that an
``IMS/SDP ready{''} OSS/BSS does not only provide all the existing
services very quickly.. it must also be able to support the design and
creation of new types of services including new types of network/IT
resources which allow these new kinds of services at all. This will
impact the whole IMS/SDP as well as OSS/BSS environment, beginning with
the Service Creation Environment (SCE) up to the extension of the
Inventory Management System as the heart of the operational processes.
However, the use of such an OSS/BSS in concert with the IMS/SDP will
play a key role in allowing the operator or service provider to reduce
Operational Expenditure while at the same time, delivering the
efficiencies needed to speed up both the service and infrastructure
provisioning processes. A system integrator's potential contribution in
concert with state-of-the-art IT architectures such as Enterprise
Application Integration (EAI), Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and
Workflow Management in delivering, a project driven solution are also
described by this paper.},

GitHub. The results show that more than 72.4\% of projects were
negatively impacted following the COVID19 outbreak. Interestingly, we
observe that variants of covide19 did not exacerbate its impact on
software development. On the contrary, some project development
activities have obviously resumed, indicating that the development team
has adapted and gradually got rid of the impact of the epidemic.},

Abstract = {Keystone components in green urban spaces can make a big difference in
supporting either impoverished or rich animal communities. Trees that
produce thousands of flowers at densities higher than that of herbs and
produce much more nectar than the latter can be such keystone
structures. However, there is a lack of specific information on trees,
both native and alien, and their flower visitors in urban/suburban
contexts, which blurs the conservation role that such species can
perform. In 2019 and 2020, we thoroughly recorded the flower visitors to
a silk-floss tree in suburban Guadalajara, Mexico. To our knowledge,
this is the first comprehensive inventory of silk-floss tree flower
visitors. We documented 79 species/morphospecies of insects; eight of
birds, and one of mammals visiting the flowers. All, except two, are
native to the region; three are endemic/quasi-endemic to Mexico. Besides
direct and indirect floral resources, the silk-floss tree offered
perches, resting/hiding cover, nesting substrate, and seed fibres used
by several birds, and feeding substrate for gleaning insectivorous
birds. Four species are on one or more conservation listings: monarch
butterfly (endangered), pink-spotted swallowtail (vulnerable),
sparkling-tailed hummingbird (threatened), and lesser long-nosed bat
(near-threatened). Our data supports that small patches can enhance the
quality of urban green spaces, and that rather than geographic origin,
flower output drives visitation. Alien trees can be pollination
enhancement `devices' for imperilled pollination networks. Silk-floss
trees are a potential option for conservation-oriented urban greening,
as well as to contribute to enhancing human enjoyment of nature, and
provide opportunities for public outreach.},

Abstract = {Galicia has its main economic activity in the primary sector,
highlighting in it, the livestock subsector, specialized in beef and
dairy milk productions, it is a national reference in milk production
accounts for almost 40\% of total sales and bringing together more than
55\% of Spanish milk producers. The current situation of the majority of
dairy farms in Galicia, with production costs steadily rising and
stagnant incomes are critical for the future.
Currently, due to the price paid by industry to producers they are in an
extreme situation with similar production costs and incomes. The absence
of specific tools that enable them to optimize their cost structure
further aggravates the situation.
Previous studies by this research group considered that the cost
structure of Galician dairy farms, they made marginal investments in
technical or consultancy services, management and administration.
To improve this situation, the specific tools based on open source is
proposed as an appropriate efficiency management tool for this business,
unwilling to invest in individual management and used to follow the
strategies dictated from the government.
In this context there places the base of the investigation proposed as
significant form of contributing solutions to the problems of the
lacteal sector of Galicia.},

demanding and error prone task, which requires reading huge threads of

particularly for recognizing discussants' intentions (e.g., suggesting,
complaining) can support analysts, and allow them to increase the
performance of this task. Online discussions are almost synchronous
written conversations that can be analyzed applying computational
linguistic techniques that build on the speech act theory. Our approach
builds on this observation. We propose to analyze OSS mailing-list
discussions in terms of the linguistic and non-linguistic acts expressed
by the participants, and provide a tool-supported speech-act analysis
method. In this paper we describe this method and discuss how to
empirically evaluate it. We discuss the results of the first execution

Abstract = {Trentino is an Italian alpine region (about 6200 Km(2)) with a forest
coverage exceeding 60\% of its whole surface. In the past, forest
landscape has changed dramatically, especially in periods of forest
over-exploitation. Previous studies in some Trentino sub-regions (Val di
Fassa, Paneveggio) have identified these changes and the current trend
of forest growth at the expenses of open areas, such as pastures and
grasslands, due to the abandonment of rural areas. This phenomenon leads
to the rapid Alpine landscape change and profoundly affects the
ecological features of mountain ecosystems. To be able to monitor and to
take future actions about this trend it is fundamental to know in detail
the historical situation of the progressive changes on the land use that
occurred over Trentino.
The work aims to comprehensively reconstruct the forest cover of whole
Trentino at high resolution (5m x 5m pixels) using a series of maps
spanning a long period, consisting in historical maps, aerial images,
remote sensed information and historical archives. The datasets were
archived, processed and analyzed using the Free and Open Source Software
(FOSS) GIS GRASS and QGIS. Historical maps include Atlas Tyrolensis
(dated 1770), Theresianischer Kataster (dated 1859) and Italian Kingdom
Forest Map (IKFM) of 1936. The aerial imagery dataset includes aerial
images taken in 1954, which have been orthorectified during this
research, and orthophotos available for years 1973, 1994, 2000, 2006,
2010 and 2016. Remote sensed information includes Landsat and recent
Lidar data, while historical archives consist mostly in Forest
Management Plans available since around 1950. The versatility of the
wide variety of modules supplied from the FOSS GRASS and QGIS enabled to
perform a diverse set of analysis and pre-processing
(e.g.:orthorectification) on a heterogeneous dataset of input images. We
will focus on the different strategies and methodologies implemented in
the FOSS GIS used to process the various types of geographic data,
challenges for the future of the research and the fundamental role of
the FOSS systems in this process.
Quantifying forest change in the time-span of our dataset can be used to
perform further analysis on ecosystem services, such as protection from
soil erosion, and on modification of biome diversity and to create
future change scenarios.},

for Affordable Degradation Mapping of Stone Monuments},
Journal = {BUILDINGS},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {11},
Number = {7},
Month = {JUL},
Abstract = {The detailed documentation of degradation constitutes a fundamental step
for weathering diagnosis and, consequently, for successful planning and
implementation of conservation measures for stone heritage. Mapping the
surface patterns of stone is a non-destructive procedure critical for
the qualitative and quantitative rating of the preservation state.
Furthermore, mapping is employed for the annotation of weathering
categories and the calculation of damage indexes. However, it is often a
time-consuming task, which is conducted manually. Thus, practical
methods need to be developed to automatize degradation mapping without
significantly increasing the diagnostic process's cost for conservation
specialists. This work aims to develop and evaluate a methodology based
on affordable close-range sensing techniques, image processing, and free
and open source software for the spatial description, annotation,
qualitative analysis, and rating of stone weathering-induced damage.
Low-cost cameras were used to record images in the visible,
near-infrared, and thermal-infrared spectra. The application of
photogrammetric techniques allowed for the generation of the necessary
background, that was elaborated to extract thematic information. Digital
image processing of the spatially and radiometrically corrected images
and image mosaics enabled the straightforward transition to a spatial
information environment simplifying the development of degradation maps.
The digital thematic maps facilitated the rating of stone damage and the
extraction of useful statistical data.},

Abstract = {Newcomers' seamless onboarding is important for open collaboration
communities, particularly those that leverage outsiders' contributions
to remain sustainable. Nevertheless, previous work shows that OSS
newcomers often face several barriers to contribute, which lead them to
lose motivation and even give up on contributing. A well-known way to
help newcomers overcome initial contribution barriers is mentoring. This
strategy has proven effective in offline and online communities, and to
some extent has been employed in OSS projects. Studying mentors'
perspectives on the barriers that newcomers face play a vital role in
improving onboarding processes; yet, OSS mentors face their own
barriers, which hinder the effectiveness of the strategy. Since little
is known about the barriers mentors face, in this paper, we investigate
the barriers that affect mentors and their newcomer mentees. We
interviewed mentors from OSS projects and qualitatively analyzed their
answers. We found 44 barriers: 19 that affect mentors; and 34 that
affect newcomers (9 affect both newcomers and mentors). Interestingly,
most of the barriers we identified (66\%) have a social nature.
Additionally, we identified 10 strategies that mentors indicated to
potentially alleviate some of the barriers. Since gender-related
challenges emerged in our analysis, we conducted nine follow-up
structured interviews to further explore this perspective. The
contributions of this paper include: identifying the barriers mentors
face; bringing the unique perspective of mentors on barriers faced by
newcomers; unveiling strategies that can be used by mentors to support
newcomers; and investigating gender-specific challenges in OSS
mentorship. Mentors, newcomers, online communities, and educators can
leverage this knowledge to foster new contributors to OSS projects.},

Abstract = {Many open source software (OSS) under various OSS projects are in action

environment of internet network. This paper focuses on the irregular
fluctuation of operation performance measures for OSS project
management. We apply the double jump diffusion process models to the
noisy cases in the operation of OSS. In particular, the maintenance
effort is estimated by the stochastic differential equation model in
terms of OSS project management. Moreover, we propose the method of
maintenance effort management based on the double jump diffusion process
model considering the irregular fluctuation of performance for OSS
projects. Thereby, it will be helpful for the OSS developers and
managers to understand the maintenance effort status of OSS from the
standpoint of OSS project management. Also, we analyze actual data to
show numerical examples of the proposed models with the characteristics
considering noisy and jump of OSS projects.},

Title = {Matching terms of quality models and meta-models: toward a unified
meta-model of OSS quality},
Journal = {SOFTWARE QUALITY JOURNAL},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {31},
Number = {3},
Pages = {721-773},
Month = {SEP},
Abstract = {ContextIn the last two decades, open-source software (OSS) has gained
increasing attention due to its voluntary supporters, growing community,
and ease of accessibility in cloud repositories. Standardization in OSS
quality is of vital importance as a communication vehicle for
stakeholders in identifying and selecting high-quality products. Thus,
meta-models help to define a standardized language and enable to propose
quality models that can be used to perform comparable
measurements.Objective Considering the lack of a comprehensive
meta-model of OSS quality in the literature, there appears a need to see
a more complete picture of OSS quality and to represent its concepts
more formally. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to develop a solid
base for a comprehensive meta-model of OSS quality to create a common
understanding among stakeholders.Method A systematic way has been
followed toward developing a common structure, defining a consistent
terminology and, finally, providing a meta-model of OSS quality. In this
context, (1) the common structure of the quality models for OSS has been
investigated, (2) the terms of the general-purpose meta-models of
software quality have been analyzed based on the international
standards, and (3) the terms of the quality models for OSS have been
mapped with the elements of these meta-models.Results An initial
meta-model of OSS quality, which employs a unified structure from the
OSS quality models and eliminates the inconsistencies determined in the
general-purpose meta-models of software quality, has been proposed and
an implementation of this meta-model has been demonstrated.Conclusion
This initial meta-model of OSS quality with a standard terminology can
be taken as a guide by researchers who will propose or revise their OSS
quality models. It will allow developing multiple OSS quality models
with homogenous structure and terms, and also enable comparing the
evaluation results obtained by these models.},

Title = {Beyond free software: An exploration of the business value of strategic
open source},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF STRATEGIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {23},
Number = {3},
Pages = {226-238},
Month = {SEP},
Abstract = {The phenomenon of open source software (OSS) has been well studied from
the software development perspective, but it has received much less
attention from the perspective of business value. Nevertheless, OSS,
when viewed as a value creation process rather than `free' software,
provides businesses with value through access to knowledge and
innovation capacity resident in online communities. This
conceptualisation, which we label `strategic open source' requires firms
to rethink their strategy and processes as there is a shift in focus
from ownership to openness and collaboration with external parties.
Nonetheless, the emergence of OSS poses a puzzle for conceptions of
organisational theory. Therefore, a theorising process is needed in
order to develop a deeper understanding of how value is created and
captured with OSS. Using a field study of eleven European firms, this
paper explores the creation and capture of business value from strategic
open source. The findings reveal that while decision makers look to open
innovation initiatives like OSS for value creation and capture, there is
still a desire to remain self reliant, resulting in collaborative design
(of external innovations) rather than collaborative decision making with
value network partners in relation to how such innovations would help
create and capture value within firms. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights

Abstract = {Objective: To translate and culturally adapt the Oxford Shoulder Score
(OSS) to the European Portuguese language, and to test its reliability
(internal consistency, reproducibility and measurement error) and
validity (construct validity).
Methods: The OSS Portuguese version was obtained through translations,
back-translations, consensus panels, clinical review and cognitive
pre-test. Portuguese OSS, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand
(DASH) questionnaires, and the visual analogue scales of pain at rest
{[}VAS rest] and during movement {[}VAS movement] were applied to III
subjects with shoulder pain (degenerative or inflammatory disorders) and
recommended for physical therapy. A clinical and sociodemographic
questionnaire was also applied.
Results: The reliability was good, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient
of 0.90, an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.92, a standard
error of measurement (SEM) of 2.59 points and a smallest detectable
change (SDC) ot 7.18 points. Construct validity was supported by the
confirmation of three initial hypotheses involving expected significant
correlation between OSS and other measures (DASH, VAS rest and VAS
movement) and between OSS and the number of days of work absenteeism.
Conclusion: The Portuguese OSS version presented suitable psychometric
properties, in terms of reliability (internal consistency,
reproducibility and measurement error) and validity (construct
validity).},

Abstract = {The fast growing resources available by Grid and cloud computing provide
new opportunities for the daily work of scientific and business
communities. Here we present a deployed system deriving detailed
information on hemodynamics and vessel wall stresses from common
tomography data in a simple and efficient way. The system is suited for
direct use e.g. by radiologists or cardiologists in medical planning and
clinical research settings. Up to now, detailed numerical simulations of
similar kinds have required the effort of specialized, large,
multi-disciplinary groups. The deployment of the new system is based on
resources maintained by the nationally funded german MediGRID project.
This assures broad accessibility, low or no set-up and maintenance costs
and a high security level. The implementationdesign facilitates
intuitive interactive usage for user-intensive parts and full
exploitation of high-performance-computing for the computationally
intensive components of the processing pipeline. Virtual vascular
surgery is supported, including the placement of stents, clipping of
aneurysms, and vessel dilation. The effect of such interventions can be
explored, including parametric effects like stent position or porosity,
as part of the intervention planning. Physical fields of interest like
pressure, wall shear stress, blood flow volume rate, or their
correlations can be inspected as time series or as interactive
three-dimensional scenes. The grid related parts of the workflow are
controlled readily over a web interface.},

Abstract = {Software developers who want to start contributing to an Open Source
Software (OSS) project often struggle to find appropriate first tasks.
The voluntary, self-organizing distribution of decentralized labor and
the distinct nature of some OSS projects intensifies this challenge.
Mentors, who work closely with newcomers, develop strategies to
recommend tasks. However, to date neither the challenges mentors face in
recommending tasks nor their strategies have been formally documented or
studied. In this paper, we interviewed mentors of well-established OSS
projects (n=10) and qualitatively analyzed their answers to identify
both challenges and strategies related to recommending tasks for
newcomers. Then, we employed a survey (n=30) to map the strategies to
challenges and collect additional strategies. Our study identified 7
challenges and 13 strategies related to task recommendation. Strategies
such as ``tagging the issues based on difficulty,{''} ``adding
documentation,{''} ``assigning a small task first and then challenge the
newcomers with bigger tasks:' and ``dividing tasks into smaller
pieces{''} were frequently mentioned as ways to overcome multiple
challenges. Our results provide insights for mentors about the
strategies OSS communities can use to guide their mentors and for tool
builders who design automated support for task assignment.},

Activity-Based Metrics},
Journal = {ACM TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING AND METHODOLOGY},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {31},
Number = {2},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {Software development effort estimation (SDEE) generally involves
leveraging the information about the effort spent in developing similar
software in the past. Most organizations do not have access to
sufficient and reliable forms of such data from past projects. As such,
the existing SDEE methods suffer from low usage and accuracy.
We propose an efficient SDEE method for open source software, which
provides accurate and fast effort estimates. The significant
contributions of our article are (i) novel SDEE software metrics derived
from developer activity information of various software repositories,
(ii) an SDEE dataset comprising the SDEE metrics' values derived from
approximately 13,000 GitHub repositories from 150 different software
categories, and (iii) an effort estimation tool based on SDEE metrics
and a software description similarity model. Our software description
similarity model is basically a machine learning model trained using the
PVA on the software product descriptions of GitHub repositories. Given
the software description of a newly envisioned software, our tool yields
an effort estimate for developing it.
Our method achieves the highest standardized accuracy score of 87.26\%
(with Cliff's d = 0.88 at 99.999\% confidence level) and 42.7\% with the
automatically transformed linear baseline model. Our software artifacts

Abstract = {Organosulfates (OSs) are an important component of secondary organic
aerosols (SOA), accounting for similar to 30\% of total organic aerosol.
In this study, OSs in eastern China were investigated to understand
their diurnal evolution, source, and volatility using high-resolution
mass spectrometry. In polluted days, we identified a total of 5,147
organic molecules, including 1,206 OS molecules. The average molecular
weight (m.w.) and carbon chain length of OSs in this study exceeded the
commonly recognized range (500 Da). OSs were mostly composed of newly
formed low oxidation state compounds as well as aged aliphatic and
aromatic ones. The number and abundance of aromatic and aliphatic OSs
with low saturation, volatility, O/C-w as well as H/C-w increased
greatly with rising PM2.5 concentrations. The daytime photo-oxidation
resulted in a large number of high m.w. (HMW, > 500 Da) OSs. OSs with
m.w. <500 Da, and many oxygen atoms were newly generated during the
nighttime, mainly dominated by liquid-phase oxidation processes. The
result of OSs with higher m.w. and lower volatility was due to increased
dimerization and oligomerization. During pollution formatting, OSs with
small DBE values (between 0 and 6) appeared; meanwhile, the number of
highly unsaturated OSs with DBE > 7 (mainly aromatic OSs) increased by
about 34\%. This study is useful for clarifying the secondary formation
and properties of HMW OSs in a polluted environment in China.},

Abstract = {The development of Web applications has a crucial role as most
organizations have their own corporate Web applications to meet the
needs of their respective businesses. Different needs create different
complexities which represent a new challenge to Web application
development. In order to ensure the timely delivery of a project,
software providers offering this service choose to use Open Sources
(OSS) as an alternative. Since OSS consist of an existing framework that
can be implemented directly into the application, how far does this
affect the complexity of the effort estimation? A number of research
papers have outlined the efforts made to refine the complexity of this
field. However, to our best knowledge a systematic overview of the
research done on Web application development that involves OSS usage
does not appear to exist. Hence, the aim of this paper is to conduct a
systematic literature review (SLR) of OSS Web application development.
For this purpose, 34 papers from a total of 67 papers were identified
and studied. The findings of this study indicate that (a) no research
has been carried out on the field mentioned; (b) there is no early
effort estimation model for Web projects that involve the usage of OSS.
Therefore, this work provides an overview of the field besides
identifying future research possibilities.},

Abstract = {The Rey Complex Figure Organizational Strategy Score (RCF-OSS) was
devised for pediatric populations to cater for developmental
variability. A sample consisting of 376 children aged between 7.0 and
13.11 years was recruited for the standardization of RCF-OSS. The
interrater reliability (.85 to .92) and temporal stability (.79 to .94)
of the RCF-OSS are acceptable. RCF-OSS correlated moderately with RCF
accuracy memory and organization, however it seems to be measuring an
independent aspect of performance, possibly strategy. Moderate Linear
relationships were observed with executive function and memory measures.
Considerable age-related variation in strategy formation was observed
with significant maturity occurring between the ages of 7 years and 11
years. Surprisingly, older children used fragmented strategies more than
the younger age groups. In conclusion, the RCF-OSS is a useful adjunct
to traditional accuracy scoring procedures, and the normative data
indicates that organizational skills may not consolidate until middle to
late adolescence.},

Abstract = {Purpose To develop a software solution that supports management and
clinical review of patient data from electronic medical records
databases or claims databases for pharmacoepidemiological drug safety
studies.
Methods We used open source software to build a data management system
and an internet application with a Flex client on a Java application
server with a MySQL database backend. The application is hosted on
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. This solution named Phynx supports data
management, Web-based display of electronic patient information, and
interactive review of patient-level information in the individual
clinical context. This system was applied to a dataset from the UK
General Practice Research Database (GPRD).
Results Our solution can be setup and customized with limited
programming resources, and there is almost no extra cost for software.
Access times are short, the displayed information is structured in
chronological order and visually attractive, and selected information
such as drug exposure can be blinded. External experts can review
patient profiles and save evaluations and comments via a common Web
browser.
Conclusions Phynx provides a flexible and economical solution for
patient-level review of electronic medical information from databases
considering the individual clinical context. It can therefore make an
important contribution to an efficient validation of outcome assessment
in drug safety database studies. Copyright (c) 2009 John Wiley \& Sons,

Title = {Precision Agriculture Workflow, from Data Collection to Data Management
Using FOSS Tools: An Application in Northern Italy Vineyard},
Journal = {ISPRS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GEO-INFORMATION},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {10},
Number = {4},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {In the past decades, technology-based agriculture, also known as
Precision Agriculture (PA) or smart farming, has grown, developing new
technologies and innovative tools to manage data for the whole
agricultural processes. In this framework, geographic information, and
spatial data and tools such as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and
multispectral optical sensors play a crucial role in the geomatics as
support techniques. PA needs software to store and process spatial data
and the Free and Open Software System (FOSS) community kept pace with
PA's needs: several FOSS software tools have been developed for data
gathering, analysis, and restitution. The adoption of FOSS solutions,
WebGIS platforms, open databases, and spatial data infrastructure to
process and store spatial and nonspatial acquired data helps to share
information among different actors with user-friendly solutions.
Nevertheless, a comprehensive open-source platform that, besides
processing UAV data, allows directly storing, visualising, sharing, and
querying the final results and the related information does not exist.
Indeed, today, the PA's data elaboration and management with a FOSS
approach still require several different software tools. Moreover,
although some commercial solutions presented platforms to support
management in PA activities, none of these present a complete workflow
including data from acquisition phase to processed and stored
information. In this scenario, the paper aims to provide UAV and PA
users with a FOSS-replicable methodology that can fit farming
activities' operational and management needs. Therefore, this work
focuses on developing a totally FOSS workflow to visualise, process,
analyse, and manage PA data. In detail, a multidisciplinary approach is
adopted for creating an operative web-sharing tool able to manage Very
High Resolution (VHR) agricultural multispectral-derived information
gathered by UAV systems. A vineyard in Northern Italy is used as an
example to show the workflow of data generation and the data structure
of the web tool. A UAV survey was carried out using a six-band
multispectral camera and the data were elaborated through the Structure
from Motion (SfM) technique, resulting in 3 cm resolution orthophoto. A
supervised classifier identified the phenological stage of under-row
weeds and the rows with a 95\% overall accuracy. Then, a set of
GIS-developed algorithms allowed Individual Tree Detection (ITD) and
spectral indices for monitoring the plant-based phytosanitary
conditions. A spatial data structure was implemented to gather the data
at canopy scale. The last step of the workflow concerned publishing data
in an interactive 3D webGIS, allowing users to update the spatial
database. The webGIS can be operated from web browsers and desktop GIS.
The final result is a shared open platform obtained with nonproprietary
software that can store data of different sources and scales.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) has been widely used to accelerate software
development, inevitably exposing downstr omissions and false positives;
omissions put applications and their users at risk, and false positives
increase the burden on software developers and users. Therefore, in this
paper, we propose a two-phase based approach for JAVA OSS vulnerability
analysis. To reduce underreporting, we construct a comprehensive
third-party library and vulnerability association database; to avoid
false positives, first, we use a static analysis method to extract the
structure-aware call graph (SACG) of oss and locate the information of
the vulnerability functions; second, we compare the similarity between
the OSS vulnerability functions and the pre-patch and post-patch
functions based on the vulnerability patches to determine the existence
of the patches in the OSS, and then verify the OSS vulnerability
information. We evaluate the method on a dataset of 7 open source
projects and 167 vulnerability information, and the F1 value of the
method is 0.779, which is higher than the currently available SOTA
tools.},

projects, it is crucial to understand and detect patterns of toxic
language that may drive contributors away, especially those from
underrepresented communities. Although machine learning-based toxicity
detection tools trained on domain-specific data have shown promise,
their design lacks an understanding of the unique nature and triggers of
toxicity in OSS discussions, highlighting the need for further
investigation. In this study, we employ Moral Foundations Theory to
examine the relationship between moral principles and toxicity in OSS.
Specifically, we analyze toxic communications in GitHub issue threads to
identify and understand five types of moral principles exhibited in
text, and explore their potential association with toxic behavior. Our
preliminary findings suggest a possible link between moral principles
and toxic comments in OSS communications, with each moral principle
associated with at least one type of toxicity. The potential of MFT in
toxicity detection warrants further investigation.},

Volume = {49},

Pages = {1379-1394},
Abstract = {Volunteer-based open-source production has become a significant new
model for the organization of software development. Economics often
pictures this phenomenon as a case of signalling: individuals engage in
the volunteer programming of open-source software (OSS) as a
labour-market signal resulting in a wage premium. Yet, this explanation
could so far not be empirically tested. This article fills this gap by
estimating an upper-bound composite wage premium of voluntary OSS
contributions and by separating the potential signalling effect of OSS
engagement from other effects. Although some 70\% of OSS contributors
believe that OSS involvement benefits their careers, we find no actual
labour-market premium for OSS engagement. The presence of other motives,
such as fun of play or altruism, renders OSS contributions too noisy to
function as a signal.},

Title = {Optimized single-step (OSS) chemistry models for the simulation of
turbulent premixed flame propagation},
Journal = {COMBUSTION AND FLAME},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {192},
Pages = {130-148},
Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {A simple and efficient triple-optimization procedure (TOP) is introduced
to determine single-step chemistry model parameters. The cornerstone of
the proposed approach lies in the introduction of a fictive (or virtual)
chemical species, the physical characteristics of which are set to
recover some essential properties of combustion and flames. Special
emphasis is presently placed on the capability of such a global kinetic
scheme to recover three parameters that are recognized as the most
influential in terms of turbulence chemistry interactions and turbulent
premixed combustion regimes. These parameters are (i) the burnt gases
temperature T-b, which settles the value of the thermal expansion factor
tau = (T-b - T-u)/T-u, (ii) the propagation velocity delta(0)(L), which
is mandatory to reproduce the flame dynamics, and (iii) the laminar
premixed flame thickness delta(0)(L). In practice, the thermochemical
properties of the fictive species (hereafter denoted by A(Phi)) are set
to account for the impact of dissociation effects and partial oxidation
of the fuel, i.e., presence of species other than H2O and CO2 in the
burnt gases, which allows to recover a satisfactory estimate of T-b. The
value of the pre-exponential factor associated to the single-step
Arrhenius law is also optimized to reproduce the laminar flame
propagation velocity. Finally, the transport characteristics are
determined to recover a satisfactory estimate of the thermal flame
thickness. The method is general in its principles and quite easy to
implement. It is applicable to any couple of fuel and oxidizer.
Attention is focused on the application of the method to any
stoichiometry but it is also shown that the influence of both pressure
and fresh reactants temperature can be recovered. The performance of the
resulting optimized single step (OSS) chemistry models are assessed
through a direct comparison with detailed chemistry results.
Computations of one-dimensional laminar flames are performed with the
OSS model using the cantera software for a wide range of pressure
levels, fresh reactant temperatures, and equivalence ratios. Obtained
results do show that the flame propagation velocity is correctly
reproduced for the whole range of parameters, with a maximum value
recovered in the vicinity of stoichiometry, a decrease towards rich
conditions, and a satisfactory pressure dependence. Burnt gases
temperature as well as thermal flame thickness values are also in
excellent agreement with those issued from the reference detailed
kinetics models. The OSS model is then used to perform direct numerical
simulation (DNS) computations of flame kernel growths in both laminar
and turbulent conditions. The comparison of obtained OSS results with
detailed chemistry computations further confirms the relevance and
performance of the proposed methodology. (C) 2018 The Combustion

Abstract = {Developers constantly make various assumptions regarding requirements,

However, these assumptions are usually implicit and undocumented and
there is a lack of understanding regarding what assumptions have been

is recently becoming an important part of software industry. To this
end, we conducted an exploratory study on assumptions in OSS
development. We extracted and analyzed 9006 posts from the developer
mailing list of Hibernate (a popular OSS project), in order to explore
(1) assumption expression and (2) classification, (3) the trend of
assumptions over time, and (4) related software artifacts of assumptions
in OSS development. We identified 832 assumptions from the Hibernate
developer mailing list. The findings are: (1) most of the assumptions
are expressed as ``Feature Request{''} and ``Solution Proposal{''}; (2)
more than half of the identified assumptions are design assumptions and
are made for software design; (3) assumptions exist in the whole OSS
development lifecycle; and (4) the major category of related artifacts
of assumptions is ``Design Document{''}.},

Abstract = {We propose a gaming architecture, called the Overlay Server System
(OSS), for supporting multiparty online games over mobile networks. In
OSS architecture, overlay server nodes (OSN) are distributed across the
core network architecture of the mobile operator and each node is
responsible for both running the game applications and performing the
overlay routing. The architecture allows third party game servers that
are located outside the core network of the mobile operator to push the
execution of delay and bandwidth constrained game components into the
core to achieve better quality of service (QoS). When a game consists of
multiple mutually exclusive game objects such that each object can be
maintained independently, OSS allows per object QoS optimization via
selecting the jointly optimal location (i.e. OSN) and overlay routes for
each object. This fine-grain optimization benefits most when different
objects have different QoS requirements and they are accessed by
different users. OSS dynamically adapts to the changes in game and
network conditions by switching to better OSN and overlay routes.
Our performance analysis on different core network topologies and usage
patterns demonstrates that OSS has significant advantages over the
alternative peer to peer (P2P), proxy-server, and client-server
architectures. The analysis also underlines the individual contributions
of object placement and jointly performed overlay route optimization to
the performance gain.},

Abstract = {This study aims to make improvements in manufacturing yields for dental
floss picks, through deploying automated quality inspection processes.
By using computerized visual inspection and automatic controls, this
study explores standardization and automation of inspection work for the
three major defects affecting dental floss picks and dental floss
fibers. Among the industrial design solutions implemented by this study
are environmentally efficacious layout of light sources, optimal
configuration of optical imaging and automated equipment, and the design
and development of a proprietary defect detection program; moreover, an
automatic optical inspection (AOI) system, which can be installed in the
production lines, is built for verification. As for verification of
detected defects, trial operations can be conducted on production lines
and adjusted to optimal parameters in order to measure floss fiber
defects with an area larger than 0.09mm(2), impurity defects with
gray-scale difference greater than 35, and shortage defects with lengths
greater than 3mm. Statistical analysis of practical measurement results
on ten dental floss picks indicated system detection rates of 93.1\% for
floss fiber defects, 56.2\% for impurity defects and 84.4\% for shortage
defects.},

work of Charles Lyell, Oliver Goldsmith, and Georges Cuvier, Eliot
emphasises the interconnectedness of human and planetary processes,
feminises environmental catastrophe, and blends human and ecological
history. She does so in order to write the human presence back into
geological histories that tended to evacuate the human, and to invite
readers to account for the effects their lifestyles and industries have
upon the supposedly balanced and orderly processes of nature.},

on FLOSS projects we identify the boundaries, in terms of productivity

to find a work-life balance. We found that although workers valued the
flexibility of working from home, they had difficulty focusing on their
work for sustained time periods and often felt isolated. This motivated
them to use coworking spaces - physical spaces used as work space by
workers not on the same team or even the same firm - as a critical part
of their space ecology. In conjunction with their media ecology - a mix
of communication technologies including IRC - the space/media mix
allowed them to balance their work and personal lives. We draw
implications for better supporting FLOSS and virtual work practices
through design of media/space and work practices.},

Abstract = {Copyright law, together with the market logic it carries, penetrates
deeply into our daily life. The copyright regime is so restrictive that
it turns a normal learning process into a series of potential copyright
violations. The Free Software Movement (FSM) represents a substantial
community effort to counter this trend. It seeks to supersede the
copyright regime by offering the `Copyleft' licensing mode, which
facilitates the formation of a cooperative, resource- sharing community.
The FSM has been so successful that it has challenged the utilitarian
values presumed in copyright law, has fuelled widespread reassessment of
copyright law, and has influenced many who engage in various creative
activities. Claiming to bear similar values, Creative Commons (CC)
provides licensing models for people to waive some rights granted to
them. However, CC differs from the FSM in significant ways. Most
notably, the flexible CC licensing model weakens the firm philosophical
and political ground which binds FSM advocates together. Hence, although
CC's rapid growth seems to signal its success, it is questionable
whether such success is as enduring as the FSM's, or if it is leading to
a different result. While CC champions the author's freedom to decide
how to use his or her bundle of property rights granted by copyright
law, the FSM advocates the freedom to build and live in an alternative,
vital and self- sustaining community. The existence of such an
alternative model not only allows these particular participants to be
independent from the proprietary world, but also may empower the rest of
society to imagine different kinds of relationships between human beings
and their creative activities.},

three types of grid, unstructured hexahedral mesh, hybrid mesh and
structured hexahedral mesh for the simulation of partial cavitation
around a plane-convex hydrofoil. Numerical simulations have been carried
out by using the FOSS OpenFOAM based on the Zwart cavitation model and
the implicit large eddy simulation (ILES). The results show that the
structured mesh provides the best simulating to experimental data. On
the other hand, the hybrid mesh induces unreliable results at leading
edge without shedding.},

Title = {Generating UAV high-resolution topographic data within a FOSS
photogrammetric workflow using high-performance computing clusters},
Journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED EARTH OBSERVATION AND GEOINFORMATION},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {105},
Month = {DEC 25},
Abstract = {Photogrammetry is one of the most reliable techniques to generate
high-resolution topographic data and it is key to territorial mapping
and change detection analysis of landforms in hydro-geomorphological
high-risk areas. Specifically, the Structure from Motion (SfM) is an
emerging topographic survey technique that addresses the problem of
determining the 3D position of image descriptors to estimate
three-dimensional structures. Thanks to the potential of SfM algorithm
and the development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that allow the
ondemand acquisition of high-resolution aerial images, it is possible to
survey extended areas of the Earth surface and monitor active phenomena
through multi-temporal surveys. However, the ability to detect remote
and wide areas with a very high-resolution is countered by the need to
capture large datasets which can limit the photogrammetric process, due
to the need for high-performance hardware. This paper presents a
photogrammetric workflow based on Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS),
which is able to return different outputs and to manage a large amount
of data in reasonable time, through the distribution of the most
computationally expensive steps on computing clusters hosted by the
ReCaS-Bari data center for scientific research. The results are given in
terms of performance evaluations based on different computing
configurations of the clusters and setups of the steps of the workflow.
The HTC cluster test with a parallel SSH approach involved an important
reduction of several hours in the processing time of thousands UAV
images, especially compared to classic photogrammetric process on a
single workstation with commercial software. A parallel test, aimed to
validate the performance of a single sever of the new HPC cluster,
involved really good results halving the processing time with respect to
the HTC cluster test.},

Abstract = {This article is a reply to Foss et al.'s (2022) contribution to the
special issue of the Scandinavian Journal of Management on The Great
Reset of management and organization theory. In their article, the
authors make a strong case that ``reset thinking{''} geared towards a
more ``sustainable{''} redesign of the global economy promotes extensive
state interventionism and cronyism capitalism, and therefore reject the
idea of a need for ``a funda-mental rethink of existing management
theory{''}. Whereas I do agree with the authors on most points, I am
less convinced that ``existing management theory{''} will suffice to
address the problem of ``reset thinking{''}. In this article, I
demonstrate that the economy-bias of existing theories is a gateway for
``reset thinking{''} geared towards an allegedly necessary
re-/socialisation of management and organisation. A research agenda on
cronyism must therefore be complemented by one on privilege and
hierarchy not only as undesirable side-effects of cronyism, but also as
desired outcomes of advocacy for specific minorities or missions. As
self-identifications with group interests or calls for missions have
become popular in management theory, I conclude that this new appetite
for privilege might undermine not only the higher ideals of many
management theorists, but also the foundations of modern society.},

Abstract = {Education is the driving force in the development of society. Through
professional and occupational competences, individuals are able to deal
with the requirements of the phenomenon of globalization. Therefore,
many countries have been involved in the creation of quality assurance
of educational systems in order to design more flexible curricula, more
open to knowledge society. They meet the vast training needs, provide a
variety of educational strategies and drive academic mobility and
collaborative inter or multidisciplinary projects. In this respect,
educational institutions are called to promote methodologies focused on
the study of curriculum to diagnose and base the formulation of
improvement plans for quality assurance.
This project formulated a methodology to examine and determine the level
of curricular flexibility. It was based on a prototype of an information
system developed with free software that supported management indicators
and represented different manifestations of flexibility. On the other
hand, the Viable System Model provided the theoretical foundation to
specify the study and the organizational diagnosis and to identify the
information needs among defined sub-systems, including environment.
The prototype of the information system was designed so that academic
programs within a higher education institution have the capacity to
structure several studies of curriculum flexibility over time in order
to establish the necessary comparatives and to be a knowledge-based
supply for future curriculum reforms and a basis for quality assurance
processes.
The study was carried out in the Systems Engineering Program of

qualities should be the result of careful planning, rather than the

task elements, the test pilot feedback is the essential measure upon
which the design choices are made. Thus, it is becoming of fundamental
importance to be able to simulate a representative model of the vehicle
in a pilot-in-the loop environment as early as possible in the design
stage. This work is intended to document the development process of one
such system currently being realized at the facilities belonging to the
Aerospace Science and Technology Department of Politecnico di Milano.

Abstract = {Orthology, refining the concept of homology, is the cornerstone of
evolutionary comparative studies. With the ever-increasing availability
of genomic data, inference of orthology has become instrumental for
generating hypotheses about gene functions crucial to many studies. This
update of the OrthoDB hierarchical catalog of orthologs
(http://www.orthodb.org) covers 3027 complete genomes, including the
most comprehensive set of 87 arthropods, 61 vertebrates, 227 fungi and
2627 bacteria (sampling the most complete and representative genomes
from over 11,000 available). In addition to the most extensive
integration of functional annotations from UniProt, InterPro, GO, OMIM,
model organism phenotypes and COG functional categories, OrthoDB
uniquely provides evolutionary annotations including rates of ortholog
sequence divergence, copy-number profiles, sibling groups and gene
architectures. We re-designed the entirety of the OrthoDB website from
the underlying technology to the user interface, enabling the user to
specify species of interest and to select the relevant orthology level
by the NCBI taxonomy. The text searches allow use of complex logic with
various identifiers of genes, proteins, domains, ontologies or
annotation keywords and phrases. Gene copy-number profiles can also be
queried. This release comes with the freely available underlying
ortholog clustering pipeline (http://www.orthodb.org/).},

Volume = {16},
Abstract = {This work seeks to investigate the contributions of using Scratch to the
Teaching of Portuguese Language in Elementary School, mainly with regard
to promoting freedom of expression and sharing of knowledge. This is
basic research, developed through bibliographical research, which was
put into practice through a detailed survey based on the thoughts of
Richard Stallman, creator of the concept of free software, in addition
to contributions from Freire, Lib \& acirc;neo and Bagno who help to
contextualize this discussion socially, politically and economically.
The qualitative approach was also used as a basis, because it analyzes
the relationships, opinions and discourses present in the main
documentation involving this theme through the interpretation and
critical examination of the texts consulted. As a result, it was evident
that the use of free software can recover unused computers and restore
them, providing the revitalization of the computer laboratory for the
use of programs with educational and free purposes in teaching the
Portuguese Language; it was noticed that the computer and the use of
free software are still little adopted within literacy and/or Portuguese
language teaching procedures; The Portuguese language, aided by the use
of software, will be a tool that enhances some aspects that are required
by community life today: autonomy, self-esteem, creativity, initiative,
logical reasoning and productivity.},

Abstract = {The shift from sequential to concurrent engineering has led to changes
in the way design projects are managed. In order to assist designers,
many effective tools have been developed to support collaborative
engineering, whose implementation is perceived as complex. Nowadays,
industrial scenarios encourage companies to adopt PLM solutions, even
if, sometimes, they can't understand the benefits. On the other hand,
many free solutions with comparable functionalities are developed, which
have been increasingly successful.
In this article, we test different associations of software to make a
comparison between free software and market solutions. In this
experiment, 24 students in a Master's Degree course aimed to design
mechanical products by using software to assist collaborative
distributed design, using two different configurations. This experiment
allowed us to compare design functionalities between free and commercial
solutions, in order to determine ways to improve efficiency in a
collaborative distributed design situation. Finally, the feedback
generated in this experiment allowed us to adapt training practices in
engineering education.},

Title = {Dental floss use among elementary school children and environmental
factors; a cross-sectional study},
Journal = {PEDIATRIC DENTAL JOURNAL},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {29},
Number = {2},
Pages = {78-83},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {Background: The onset of carious lesions and periodontal disease
originates in plaque formed from dental bacteria. Appropriate plaque
control is therefore important. Dental floss is one instrument used to
control plaque. The influence of guardians is an important factor in
whether children use dental floss regularly. However, the use of dental
floss among school-age children and the relationship between use and
family background has yet to be examined.
Aim: In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey to examine rates
of dental floss use and other related factors among elementary school
children and their guardians.
Methods: Surveys were sent to 298 guardians of children in grades 1-6 at
an elementary school in Japan and 283 valid responses were received.
Statistical analyses were carried out, with child's use of dental floss
as a dependent variable and grade, sex, guardian assistance with child's
tooth brushing, frequency of child's dental check-ups, and guardian's
use of dental floss as independent variables.
Results: The results revealed that 18.4\% of children used dental floss
compared with 52.7\% of guardians, suggesting that the rate of usage
among children is much lower than that among guardians. Logistic
regression analysis further revealed that guardian's use of dental floss
was significantly related to dental floss use among children.
Conclusion: The guardian's use of dental floss was associated with
dental floss use among their children in this group of Japanese
elementary school. (C) 2019 Japanese Society of Pediatric Dentistry.

Title = {Sherlock in OSS: A Novel Approach of Content-Based Searching in Object
Storage System},
Journal = {IEEE ACCESS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {12},
Pages = {69456-69474},
Abstract = {Cloud-based Object Storage Systems (OSS) are known for their
scalability, durability, availability, and concurrency. However, there
is a noticable vaccum in open-source OSS for a straightforward way for
users and administrators to conduct data searches within object storage
without fully utilizing the cloud infrastructure. In our research, we
present Sherlock, a novel Content-Based Searching (CoBS) framework.
Sherlock enhances search capabilities by using extra information from
images and documents, incorporating this information into an
Elasticsearch-powered database to enable content-driven searches. The
framework operates through a two-stage process. First, it classifies the
incoming data by type, directing images to an object detection model and
processing documents for keyword extraction. Then, Elasticsearch
catalogs the extracted data, facilitating searches based on content. The
effectiveness of our searches is largely dependent on the precision of
these models, which we improve by training them on large-scale datasets:
the Microsoft COCO Dataset for multimedia content and the SemEval2017
Dataset for text documents. We further test our system's performance by
integrating it with the open-source OSS, OpenStack Swift, and conducting
real-world experiments with image uploads to evaluate how our model
performs within Swift's object storage environments.},

Abstract = {Telecommunications companies undergo massive transformations which
reflect onto exacting requirements for controlling the costs of new
Operation Support Systems (OSS) development and integration. This calls
for the adoption of new approaches, which improve agility and
reusability. Model Drive Development (MDD), as specified by OMG, can
drastically tackle these issues and has, therefore, attracted the
interest of the telecommunications industry. Equally important is the
Open Source paradigm. For MDD to gain wide industrial adoption, tools
should be available to facilitate the OSS development process. In this
paper, we specify requirements MDD tools should meet for effective
application of the approach. An extensive survey is then carried out to
evaluate existing meta-modelling frameworks over the identified tools
requirements. Eventually, we present the Integrated Eclipse Model driven
Environment (IEME), which comprises a unified environment of bundled
Eclipse-based MDD facilities that also supports the automatic generation
of domain-specific tools.},

photoionization mass spectrometry},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL AND APPLIED PYROLYSIS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {177},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {The pyrolysis behaviors of moxa floss with 5-9 storage years were
investigated by thermogravimetry (TG) and online synchrotron radiation
photoionization mass spectrometry. The online fragment-free mass spectra
of moxa floss pyrolysis products were obtained within 300-800degree
celsius and characterized as hydrocarbons, nitrogenous and oxygenated
compounds. The results indicate that pyrolysis temperature plays a
leading role in the lowmolecular-weight product distribution, while the
storage year has secondary effects. Controlling the pyrolysis
temperature in a lower range (<650degree celsius) can effectively reduce
the generation of benzene, toluene and other harmful substances.
Aromatics could be released from the break of large molecules with
aromatic structures and formed from the aromatization of small
unstructured compounds at high temperatures. At the temperature lower
than 400 degree celsius, short-year samples exhibit a higher intensity
of oxygenated compounds. However, with the increase of storage years,
nitrogenous heterocyclics such as pyrrole and pyridine are preferably
formed at higher temperatures. In addition, increasing the storage year
of moxa floss leads the TG curve to exhibit a lower maximum mass loss
rate. These results will enrich the understanding of the storage year
effect on the beneficial oxygencontaining components generation and the
release of harmful components in the moxa floss pyrolysis.},

Title = {Heteroatom-doped porous carbons derived from moxa floss of different
storage years for supercapacitors},
Journal = {RSC ADVANCES},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {8},
Number = {30},
Pages = {16433-16443},
Abstract = {Two novel carbons (MCs) derived from moxa floss of different storage
years have been prepared by two low-cost and facile approaches, which
are hydrothermal carbonization at a low temperature (200 degrees C) and
direct pyrolysis at a moderate temperature (500 degrees C) followed by
potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation strategy at a high temperature (800
degrees C), respectively. The physicochemical properties of MCs are
investigated by Raman spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field-emission scanning electron
microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and nitrogen
adsorption-desorption isotherms. Results show that MCs derived from moxa
floss of different storage years by two facile approaches possess
different morphologies: MCs by hydrothermal carbonization (denoted as
MC-1, MC-2 and MC-3) exhibit porous nanosheet structures, the highest
specific surface area is about 1788.6 m(2) g(-1), and the largest total
pore volumes is around 0.8170 cm(3) g(-1), while MCs by direct pyrolysis
(denoted as MC-4, MC-5 and MC-6) have basically blocky and rod-like
morphologies, the highest specific surface area is about 1628.0 m(2)
g(-1), and the largest total pore volume is around 0.7058 cm(3) g(-1).
However, despite the different morphologies, all MCs possess a similar
hierarchical porous structure, numerous heteroatom groups and good
electrical conductivity. Therefore, these low-cost, biomass-derived
porous carbons with promising capacitive performance are used for
supercapacitors application with high performance, for example, the
as-assembled supercapacitor based on MC-5 exhibits a high specific
capacitance of 288.3 F g(-1) at 0.25 A g(-1), an excellent rate
performance of 243.5 F g(-1) even at 30 A g(-1) with 84.5\% capacitance
retention of its initial specific capacitance, and an outstanding
long-term cycling stability with 98.7\% capacitance retention after 10
000 cycles at 5 A g(-1). Furthermore, the maximum energy density for
these supercapacitors with an aqueous electrolyte in a two-electrode
system is about 10.0 W h kg(-1) at a power density of 70.3 W kg(-1).
Therefore, this work opens up a whole new field for the applications of
moxa floss and this novel concept of moxa floss use is an extremely
promising strategy for developing high-performance carbons with porous
structures and heteroatom-doping from renewable sources.},

Abstract = {Nowadays, communication technologies and the range of mobile operator
services are changing extremely fast. This results in the need for
constant adaptation and expansion of OSS/BSS1 used in mobile operator
networks. Currently, adaptation and expansion strategies are poorly
formalized and validated. In current state-of-the-art approaches,
several iterations involving analysts and system architects are
necessary, resulting in time and money consuming service development.
The workflow design method proposed in this paper fills this gap. It
employs a well-defined workflow and analysis model for developing and
adapting OSS/BSS. The applicability of this novel approach is confirmed
by a prototypically implemented design software tool which has been
tested in a telecommunication enterprise. The developed tool provides
automation of service planning, computational independent workflow
design and its transformation into its realization model. The reduction
of development time and thus necessary financial input has been proven
based on our real-world experiments.},

Abstract = {Initialized by a collective contribution of volunteer developers, Open
source software (OSS) attracts an increasing involvement of commercial
firms. Many OSS projects are composed of a mix group of firm-paid and
volunteer developers, with different motivations, collaboration
practices and working styles. As OSS development consists of
collaborative works in nature, it is important to know whether these
differences have an impact on collaboration between difference types of
stakeholders, which lead to an influence in the project outcomes. In
this paper, we empirically investigate the firm-paid participation in
resolving OSS evolution issues, the stakeholder collaboration and its
impact on OSS issue resolution time. The results suggest that though a
firm-paid assigned developer resolves much more issues than a volunteer
developer does, there is no difference in issue resolution time between
them. Besides, the more important factor that influences the issue
resolution time comes from the collaboration among stakeholders rather
than from individual characteristics.},

by aggravating inflammation and oxidative stress},

Abstract = {Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a serious complication of diabetes,
which importantly contributes to the increased mortality of patients
with diabetes. The development of DCM is accompanied by numerous
pathological mechanisms, including oxidative stress and chronic
inflammation. Accordingly, the present study aimed to determine the
effects of the sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) inhibitor OSS-128167 on DCM using a
mouse model of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes and high glucose
(HG)-treated cardiomyocytes. C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally
injected with STZ for 5 days to simulate the diabetic cardiomyopathy
model. Mice with STZ-induced diabetes (STZ-DM1) were orally administered
OSS-128167 (20 or 50 mg/kg) through gavage every other day. The
expression of SIRT6 in myocardial tissue was detected using western
blotting. Tissue staining (hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome)
was used to characterize myocardial structure, TUNEL fluorescent
staining was used to detect myocardial apoptosis, and
immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of
inflammatory factors in myocardial tissue. Dihydroethidium staining and
a malondialdehyde (MDA) detection kit were used to detect the oxidative
stress levels in myocardial tissues. In vitro, H9c2 cells were
pre-incubated with OSS-128167 for 1 h and then stimulated with HG (33
mM) for various durations. Expression levels of fibrosis markers,
collagen-1 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, apoptosis-related
proteins, Bax, Bcl-2 and cleaved-poly ADP-ribose polymerase, tumor
necrosis factor-alpha and the oxidative stress metabolite,
3-nitrotyrosine were analyzed using western blotting and reverse
transcription-quantitative PCR. Commercially available kits were used to
detect the activity of caspase-3 and the content of MDA in the H9c2 cell
line. The corresponding results demonstrated that OSS-128167 aggravated
diabetes-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and fibrosis in mice.
Mechanistically, OSS-128167 was revealed to increase the levels of
inflammatory factors and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vitro and in
vivo. In conclusion, OSS-128167 facilitated the inflammatory response
and promoted the production of ROS while aggravating DCM development.
These findings indicated that SIRT6 may target two closely combined and
interacting pathological processes, the inflammatory response and
oxidative stress, and may serve as a potentially advantageous
therapeutic target.},

Title = {Identifying refactoring opportunities for large packages by analyzing
maintainability characteristics in Java OSS},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {202},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {The source code of a Java-based software system is often structured into
packages. When packages are large, they often carry maintainability
quality issues. In the literature, there is a lack of empirical evidence
on the specific maintainability issues that occur when packages become
too large. Our study fills this gap by performing relationship analysis
of package size with respect to internal maintainability characteristics
(coupling, cohesion, and complexity) using package-level metrics
collected from 111 open-source Java projects provided in Qualitas
Corpus. Our results show significantly higher main-tainability issues in
large packages as indicated by the maintainability metrics. We also
report strong relationships of package size with cohesion (represented
by the number of connected components in a package) and complexity
(measured by the number of internal relationships in a package). Based
on these strong associations with package size, we show that these
cohesion and complexity metrics can be used to identify large package
refactoring opportunities. Furthermore, we also discuss why some
maintainability metrics (e.g., coupling metrics) may not be useful for
refactoring large packages.Editor's note: Open Science material was

Abstract = {In order to recruit appropriate developers for software projects, it is
important to have a clarified understanding on the practical experience

experiences claimed by developers, and very few evidence or information
regarding their actual development activities can be obtained. In this
paper, we propose an approach to extract developers' practical
activities from their participated open source software (OSS) projects,
and generate the biographies that reflect their OSS contributions. We
applied the approach on the largest code hosting service, GitHub. By
investigating the resumes generated from the extracted dataset,
recruiters of software projects can be given a clearer view on whether
the developers' experiences fulfill the qualifications. Moreover, based
on the approach, we present a web-based visualization tool, named as
Open Source Resume (OSR). We believe our tool is useful to help
recruiters from software development organizations to search for
suitable developers, and then construct development teams in software
projects based on their OSS contributions.},

Title = {On the prediction of long-lived bugs: An analysis and comparative study
using FLOSS projects},
Journal = {INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {132},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {Context: Software evolution and maintenance activities in today's
Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) rely primarily on information
extracted from bug reports registered in bug tracking systems. Many
studies point out that most bugs that adversely affect the user's
experience across versions of FLOSS projects are longlived bugs.
However, proposed approaches that support bug fixing procedures do not
consider the real-world lifecycle of a bug, in which bugs are often
fixed very fast. This may lead to useless efforts to automate the bug
management process.
Objective: This study aims to confirm whether the number of long-lived
bugs is significantly high in popular open-source projects and to
characterize the population of long-lived bugs by considering the
attributes of bug reports. We also aim to conduct a comparative study
evaluating the prediction accuracy of five well-known machine learning
algorithms and text mining techniques in the task of predicting
long-lived bugs.
Methods: We collected bug reports from six popular open-source projects
repositories (Eclipse, Freedesktop, Gnome, GCC, Mozilla, and WineHQ) and
used the following machine learning algorithms to predict long-lived
bugs: K-Nearest Neighbor, Naive Bayes, Neural Networks, Random Forest,
and Support Vector Machines. Results: Our results show that long-lived
bugs are relatively frequent (varying from 7.2\% to 40.7\%) and have
unique characteristics, confirming the need to study solutions to
support bug fixing management. We found that the Neural Network
classifier yielded the best results in comparison to the other
algorithms evaluated. Conclusion: Research efforts regarding long-lived
bugs are needed and our results demonstrate that it is possible to
predict long-lived bugs with a high accuracy (around 70.7\%) despite the
use of simple prediction algorithms and text mining methods.},

Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Fiber Content},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF COMPOSITES SCIENCE},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {8},
Number = {1},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {This study investigated the influence of fiber content, temperature, and
relative humidity on the thermal insulation properties of nonwoven mats
made of seed fibers from Asclepias Syriaca, commonly known as milkweed
floss. Nonwoven mats with a 1-inch thickness were produced by uniformly
arranging milkweed fibers within a mold. Various quantities of fiber
were employed to obtain nonwoven mats with a fiber content ranging from
5 to 35 kg/m3. Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity were
measured across diverse relative humidity levels and temperatures.
Simultaneously, milkweed floss samples were exposed to identical
environmental conditions to assess the moisture regain and specific heat
capacities of the fiber. The specific heat capacity of milkweed and
thermal conductivity of the nonwovens exhibited a linear increase with
temperature. The thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of the
nonwovens decreased with rising fiber content. The thermal insulation
properties of the nonwovens remained partially stable below 30\%
relative humidity but substantially deteriorated at higher levels. The
nonwovens exhibited optimal thermal insulation properties at a fiber
content between 20 and 25 kg/m3. The results of this study highlighted
several technical advantages of employing milkweed floss as a
sustainable and lightweight solution for thermal insulation.},

Abstract = {As open-source software (OSS) development is becoming a trend, an
increasing number of businesses and developers are joining OSS projects.
For project managers, developers and users, understanding the current
health status of a project is very important to manage a development
process, select the open-source projects to development or to adopt the
software packages developed by projects. Therefore, an efficient
approach to evaluate the health status of the open-source project is
needed. Unfortunately, although many approaches including metrics have
been proposed, they are designed in arbitrary ways. In this paper, a
math ematical tool, i.e., factor analysis, is used to build a health
evaluation model for OSS projects. As far as we know, this is the first
time that factor analysis has been applied to evaluate OSS projects.
This model is based on GitHub data and uses the basic indexes that are
closely related to the health status of the projects as the input. Then,
six new synthetic metrics, namely community activity, project
popularity, development activity, completeness, responsiveness and
persistence are obtained through factor analysis, which can be used to
calculate the overall health score of a project. Moreover, in order to
verify the effectiveness of this model, it is applied to some real
projects and the results show that the overall scores achieved by this
model can reflect the health status of the projects.},

its inhibitory effect on phospholipid digestion as an additive in fish
floss},
Journal = {FOOD CONTROL},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {98},
Pages = {74-81},
Month = {APR},
Abstract = {The insoluble and soluble dietary fiber were enzymatically extracted
from the by-product of Vigna radiata L. and their structures were
characterized by scan electronic microscope, Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The distinctive surface and
chemical structural features endow the dietary fiber good absorbing
capacity and antioxidant acitivity. Afterwards, a popular snack, fish
floss, was fortified with the proposed dietary fiber. The recently
developed rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry was
successfully applied to study the effect of dietary fiber on fish floss
digestion in the term of phospholipid. The results showed that the
hydrolysis rate of phospholipids increased as the degree of unsaturation
of the fatty acyl chain increased, while the addition of soluble dietary
fiber (SDF) and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) effectively slowed down
the digestion rate of phospholipids. This study can guide for
comprehensive utilization of byproduct of Vigna radiata L. and designing
novel weight control diets.},

Title = {Simulation of the 2003 Foss Barge - Point Wells Oil Spill: A Comparison
between BLOSOM and GNOME Oil Spill Models},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF MARINE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {6},
Number = {3},
Month = {SEP},
Abstract = {The Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Energy Technology
Laboratory's (NETL's) Blowout and Spill Occurrence Model (BLOSOM), and
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) General
NOAA Operational Modeling Environment (GNOME) are compared. Increasingly
complex simulations are used to assess similarities and differences
between the two models' components. The simulations presented here are
forced by ocean currents from a Finite Volume Community Ocean Model
(FVCOM) implementation that has excellent skill in representing tidal
motion, and with observed wind data that compensates for a coarse
vertical ocean model resolution. The comprehensive comparison between
GNOME and BLOSOM presented here, should aid modelers in interpreting
their results. Beyond many similarities, aspects where both models are
distinct are highlighted. Some suggestions for improvement are included,
e.g., the inclusion of temporal interpolation of the forcing fields
(BLOSOM) or the inclusion of a deflection angle option when
parameterizing wind-driven processes (GNOME). Overall, GNOME and BLOSOM
perform similarly, and are found to be complementary oil spill models.
This paper also sheds light on what drove the historical Point Wells
spill, and serves the additional purpose of being a learning resource
for those interested in oil spill modeling. The increasingly complex
approach used for the comparison is also used, in parallel, to
illustrate the approach an oil spill modeler would typically follow when
trying to hindcast or forecast an oil spill, including detailed
technical information on basic aspects, like choosing a computational
time step. We discuss our successful hindcast of the 2003 Point Wells
oil spill that, to our knowledge, had remained unexplained. The oil
spill models' solutions are compared to the historical Point Wells' oil
trajectory, in time and space, as determined from overflight
information. Our hindcast broadly replicates the correct locations at
the correct times, using accurate tide and wind forcing. While the
choice of wind coefficient we use is unconventional, a simplified
analytic model supported by observations, suggests that it is justified
under this study's circumstances. We highlight some of the key
oceanographic findings as they may relate to other oil spills, and to
the regional oceanography of the Salish Sea, including recommendations
for future studies.},

Abstract = {Floss-like Ni-Co binary hydroxides (FL-NCOH), assembled by whisker-like
nanowires, are synthesized via a facile hydrothermal process with sodium
dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) as the soft template. The forming
process of FL-NCOH is clarified by tuning the hydrothermal reaction
time. The result indicates that floccule-like nickel-cobalt hydroxide
nanoclusters gradually become longer and slenderer nanowires to form
FL-NCOH with the increase of reaction time. The
dissolution-recrystallization of hydroxide plays an important role in
the morphology control of nickel-cobalt hydroxide. The high specific
surface area (106.5 m(2) g(-1)) and the suitable 3D structure endow the
as-prepared FL-NCOH material high specific capacitance (up to 918.9 F
g(-1) at the current density of 0.2 A g(-1)), good high-rate performance
(594.2 F g(-1) even at 10.0 A g(-1)), and long cycle life (98.7 \%

Volume = {10},

Abstract = {The central preoccupation of George Eliot's life was with religion. In
her novels she searched for a view of life that would give modern man a
sense of purpose, dignity and ethical direction. On reading Eliot's
novels with the knowledge of her intellectual development, one must ask
how this earnest agnostic could treat traditional religion so
sympathetically, why she made the religious experience the subject of
her creative work, and what moral truth she found religion to embody. It
was the philosophy of the German anthropologist Ludwig Feuerbach, whose
book The Essence of Christianity she translated in 1854, in combination
with her own earlier experiences as a Christian, which led Eliot to her
understanding of the subjective reality embodied in Christianity. `With
the ideas of Feuerbach,' Eliot wrote, `I everywhere agree' (Haight,
1954-55, p.153). My paper attempts to show how the influence of
Feuerbach achieves complexity and vitality in Eliot's novel The Mill on
the Floss and how Eliot establishes her faith in firm and lasting
relations, which could be attained through the adjustment of the
individual to the community. This adjustment comes as a corollary to the
protagonist's realization of the principles that promote love, respect,
tolerance and sacrifice for others.},

Journal = {INFORMATION AND ORGANIZATION},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {24},

Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {Realizing the innovation potential of OSS communities, firms now create
or sponsor their own open source software (OSS) communities, generally
as part of an open innovation strategy. However, maximizing the
innovation capability of a sponsored OSS community is a challenging task
since firms cannot rely on traditional hierarchical authority to control
community members. Furthermore, a firm's efforts to manage its sponsored
community may also impact the firm's absorptive capacity, or its ability
to effectively absorb and leverage the valuable knowledge created by the
community. Thus, the purpose of this article is to investigate two
research questions: 1) How does the boundary management of a
firm-sponsored OSS community impact the community's innovation capacity?
and 2) How does the boundary management of a firm-sponsored OSS
community impact the firm's absorptive capacity? Using the results from
our qualitative analysis of eZ Systems and its successfully sponsored
OSS community - eZ Publish we develop a theoretical model depicting how
the boundary management of a firm-sponsored OSS community influences
both the community's innovation capacity and the absorptive capacity of
the firm. In addition, the results of our study highlight the central
importance of an integrative IT platform in boundary management
activities. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

show the raw data, and the processed data. Furthermore, the proposed
tool has an online user manual, made using multimedia techniques,

Abstract = {Beef floss is a complementary food that is very popular with the
community. The technology of making beef floss is increasingly varied
following the trend of public demand. The problem faced by the household
industry that produces beef floss is the high cost of production. Steps
to use fiber-rich food sources can be used as a solution to increase the
quantity of beef floss production without damaging quality. This
research purpose to analyze the value added utilization of fiber-rich
materials papaya fruit and banana blossom's as fillers for beef floss
production. The method used in this study is the observation method in
the Karya Sejahtera Women's Farmer Group. Analysis of the data used is
an analysis of the value added approach of Hayami. The results showed
that the added value created from the processing of beef floss with
fillers of papaya fruit provides higher added value compared to the
banana blossom's which is Rp 153,000 / kg value-added ratio to the value
of the product of 51\% and profit Rp 180,000 / kg with the profit rate
of 76\%. The value of the profits obtained from the production of beef
floss with papaya fruit fillers is higher than the banana floss and

Abstract = {The University of the Basque Country (http://www. ehu. es) is the most
important University in the Autonomous Region of the Basque Country,
Spain. There is one degree in Renewable Energy Engineering given at the
Gipuzkoa Faculty of Engineering (Eibar). In the last year of their
studies, students, can select one subject on Ocean Energy.
In this subject, state-of-the-art operation and management techniques
are taught to the students. Apart from the transmission of this
knowlegde, the focus is practical and is based on hands-on computer
real-life exercises, which involves not only intensive programming using
a high-level software, but also the spatial representation of results.
This is important because currently two major research and development
lines can be identified as far as ocean energy is concerned. The first
one is the analysis of prototypes that in the future will extensively
extract electricity from wave farms.
The second one is related to the resource itself, which implies the
analysis and characterization of some ocean variables related to the
extraction of energy. In many cases, the raw information on some oceanic
variables of interest is available from institutions like the ECMWF
http://www.ecmwf.int However a very extensive phase of data
preprocessing is needed to extract useful information on wave energy
potential. This will be an important task for future engineers involved
in the spatial planning of oceanic energy facilities and in real-time
forecasting and control of electricity obtained at wave farms. For this
reason, students need to effectively learn to do all these tasks.
R (https://www.cran.r-project.org/) is a freely available software that
provides an optimum answer to these combined needs and teaching
challenges due to its modular structure. R has a core module and nearly
8000 packages specifically developed for different purposes are also
available. Packages like ``RNetCDF{''}, ``sp{''} ``rgeos{''},
``rgdal{''}, ``maps{''}, ``maptools{''} and ``mapdata{''} have been
developed to make R work with full functionalities just like any
high-level programming software.
Incorporating R into the teaching activities of the subject ``Ocean
Energy{''} has represented an important step forward in the education of
future engineers while providing them with real-life tools for their
future jobs in wave farms.},

Abstract = {The survey of facades is a defendant process in several areas like
architectural design and planning. The photogrammetry provides high
geometric accuracy and but allows us to see the texture of the object.
With the emergence of free software in this area, it turns into one of
the most accessible techniques. To demonstrate the potential of this
technique, we present here three examples of facade surveys of different
types, made with this technique and using free software, using for that
an uncalibrated conventional camera.
It also includes a study that shows an analysis of the accuracy
achievable with this process, and a direct comparison with two
conventional surveying instruments. The work shows, therefore, as
close-range photogrammetry allows a cheaper and quick, accurate and
efficient survey of facades.},

evidence on the need of teacher's training in digital skills within the
study case. A statistical field test methodology has been used with a
quantitative approach, data is collected from a survey that was designed
following the recommendations of international organizations. Results
report that only 20\% of the sample have been trained in TIC, the half
of them consider theirself in the beginners level and the other half in
the intermediate level. A training program is proposed, course goals and
content are adjusted to include theory-practice knowledge that allows
the use of the software applications. First, they start with operative
systems basics and then a catalog of apps classified upon educative
criteria was generated to share that information with teachers and
select those that result more useful to them.},

Journal = {SCIENTIFIC DATA},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {7},
Number = {1},
Month = {AUG 14},
Abstract = {The scientific application of 3D imaging has evolved significantly over
recent years. These techniques make it possible to study internal
features by non-destructive analysis. Despite its potential, the
development of 3D imaging in the Geosciences is behind other fields due
to the high cost of commercial software and the scarce free
alternatives. Most free software was designed for the Health Sciences,
and the pre-settled workflows are not suited to geoscientific materials.
Thus, an outstanding challenge in the Geosciences is to define workflows
using free alternatives for Computed Tomography (CT) data processing,
promoting data sharing, reproducibility, and the development of specific
extensions. We present CroSSED, a processing sequence for 3D
reconstructions of CT data, using 3DSlicer, a popular application in
medical imaging. Its usefulness is exemplified in the study of burrows
that have low-density contrast with respect to the host sediment. For
geoscientists who have access to CT data and wish to reconstruct 3D
structures, this method offers a wide range of possibilities and
contributes to open-science and applied CT studies.},

Abstract = {Electronic documents are being more and more usable thanks to better and
more affordable network, storage and computational facilities. But in
order to benefit from computer-aided document management, paper
documents must be digitized and analyzed. This task may be challenging
at several levels. Data may be of multiple types thus requiring
different adapted processing chains. The tools to be developed should
also take into account the needs and knowledge of users, ranging from a
simple graphical application to a complete programming framework.
Finally, the data sets to process may be large. In this paper, we expose
a set of features that a Document Image Analysis framework should
provide to handle the previous issues. In particular, a good strategy to
address both flexibility and efficiency issues is the Generic
Programming (GP) paradigm. These ideas are implemented as an open source
module, SCRIBO, built on top of Olena, a generic and efficient image
processing platform. Our solution features services such as
preprocessing filters, text detection, page segmentation and document
reconstruction (as XML, PDF or HTML documents). This framework, composed
of reusable software components, can be used to create full-fledged
graphical applications, small utilities, or processing chains to be
integrated into third-party projects.},

Title = {QuBiLS-MIDAS: A Parallel Free-Software for Molecular Descriptors
Computation Based on Multilinear Algebraic Maps},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {35},
Number = {18},
Pages = {1395-1409},
Month = {JUL 5},
Abstract = {The present report introduces the QuBiLS-MIDAS software belonging to the
ToMoCoMD-CARDD suite for the calculation of three-dimensional molecular
descriptors (MDs) based on the two-linear (bilinear), three-linear, and
four-linear (multilinear or N-linear) algebraic forms. Thus, it is
unique software that computes these tensor-based indices. These
descriptors, establish relations for two, three, and four atoms by using
several (dis) similarity metrics or multimetrics, matrix
transformations, cutoffs, local calculations and aggregation operators.
The theoretical background of these N-linear indices is also presented.
The QuBiLS-MIDAS software was developed in the Java programming language
and employs the Chemical Development Kit library for the manipulation of
the chemical structures and the calculation of the atomic properties.
This software is composed by a desktop user-friendly interface and an
Abstract Programming Interface library. The former was created to
simplify the configuration of the different options of the MDs, whereas
the library was designed to allow its easy integration to other software
for chemoinformatics applications. This program provides functionalities
for data cleaning tasks and for batch processing of the molecular
indices. In addition, it offers parallel calculation of the MDs through
the use of all available processors in current computers. The studies of
complexity of the main algorithms demonstrate that these were
efficiently implemented with respect to their trivial implementation.
Lastly, the performance tests reveal that this software has a suitable
behavior when the amount of processors is increased. Therefore, the
QuBiLS-MIDAS software constitutes a useful application for the
computation of the molecular indices based on N-linear algebraic maps
and it can be used freely to perform chemoinformatics studies. (C) 2014

Abstract = {With the continued evolution of technology in support of the Overseas
Contingency Operations (OCO), the need for effective Situational
Awareness (SA) and efficient Command \& Control (C2) becomes
increasingly important for successful mission planning, management, and

provide visibility and Situational Awareness to required communities of
interest as well as the ability to view and configure all the
operational layers DVB-RCS, including the devices and technology,
operations and management, and missions and objectives.
An effective management and monitoring solution for DVB-RCS must provide
the capability to centrally manage and monitor the system, interoperate
between SATCOM and terrestrial networks, consolidate technology,
standardize processes, and be proactive rather than reactive. The DISN
OSS is DISA's enterprise-wide Service Oriented Architecture for
information sharing, management, and monitoring capabilities, based on
the Telecommunications Management Network industry standards. The DISN
OSS puts the information into the hands of the operators and system
managers while making the processes, tools, and technology transparent
to the consumer.
This paper examines how DVB-RCS implemented the NetOps Portal as an
immediate and interim solution to provide Situational Awareness to
CENTCOM, as well as how leveraging the DISN OSS can help DVB-RCS achieve
assured system and network availability, assured information protection,
and assured information delivery in support of high-bandwidth, two-way

sustainability, access, adoption, and growth. To better understand OSS
contributions from the developers of tomorrow, we conducted a four-year
study with 1,361 students investigating the life cycle of their
contributions (from project selection to pull request acceptance).
During the study, we also delivered a lightweight intervention to
promote the awareness of open source projects for social good (OSS4SG),
OSS projects that have positive impacts in other domains. Using both
quantitative and qualitative methods, we analyze student experience
reports and the pull requests they submit. Compared to general OSS
projects, we find significant differences in project selection (p <
0.0001, effect size = 0.84), student motivation (p < 0.01, effect size =
0.13), and increased pull-request acceptance rates for OSS4SG
contributions. We also find that our intervention correlates with
increased student contributions to OSS4SG (p < 0.0001, effect size =
0.38). Finally, we analyze correlations of factors such as gender or
working with a partner. Our findings may help improve the experience for
new developers participating in OSS4SG and the quality of their
contributions. We also hope our work helps educators, project leaders,
and contributors to build a mutually-beneficial framework for the future
growth of OSS4SG.},

Abstract = {Attracting and retaining newcomers are critical aspects for OSS
projects, as such projects rely on newcomers' sustainable contributions.
Considerable effort has been made to help newcomers by identifying and
overcoming the barriers during the onboarding process. However, most
newcomers eventually fail and drop out of their projects even after
successful onboarding. Meanwhile, it has been long known that
individuals' early career stages profoundly impact their long-term
career success. However, newcomers' early careers are less investigated
in SE research. In this paper, we sought to develop an empirical
understanding of the relationships between newcomers' dynamic
contribution patterns in their early careers and their technical
success. To achieve this goal, we compiled a dataset of newcomers'
contribution data from 54 large OSS projects under three different
ecosystems and analyzed it with time series analysis and other
statistical analysis techniques. Our analyses yield rich findings. The
correlations between several contribution patterns and technical success
were identified. In general, being consistent and persistent in
newcomers' early careers is positively associated with their technical
success. While these correlations generally hold in all three
ecosystems, we observed some differences in detailed contribution
patterns correlated with technical success across ecosystems. In
addition, we performed a case study to investigate whether another type
of contributions, i.e., documentation contribution, could potentially
have positive correlations with newcomers' technical success. We
discussed the implications and summarized practical recommendations to
OSS newcomers. The insights gained from this work demonstrated the
necessity of extending the focus of research and practice to newcomers'
early careers and hence shed light on future research in this direction.},

bionanocomposites: Study of mechanical, thermal, and microstructural
properties},
Journal = {FOOD PACKAGING AND SHELF LIFE},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {40},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is a benign biodegradable polymer based on
renewable resource. Cotton candy floss is a longstanding popular
technique to prepare cotton like fibres in food applications. This study
investigated the potential feasibility of using candy floss spinning
(CFS) technique to generate new PLA-clay bionanocomposites with
exfoliated morphology. The dispersion of nanoclay in PLA-clay
bionanocomposites prepared by internal mixing, with and without candy
floss spinning, as a masterbatch (having 20\%wt nanoclay) and then
diluted in twin screw extruder to different percentage of nanoclay
loadings (1\%, 2\% and 4\%, w/w), were compared in terms of their
structures and properties. They were subjected to several tests: tensile
and flexural tests, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),
simultaneous thermal analysis (STA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA),
gel permeation chromatography (GPC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) study,
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy
(TEM). Overall, mechanical, and thermal properties of the
bionanocomposites were improved in comparison to the neat PLA.
Furthermore, XRD study exposed that bionanocomposites pre -pared by the
CFS technique showed the disappearance of d001 basal peak, confirming
generation of exfoliated microstructures, whereas the samples prepared
solely by the internal mixing technique showed intercalated structure.
Additionally, PLA-clay bionanocomposites prepared by the candy floss
spinning technique exhibited prominent enhancement of mechanical as well
as thermal properties compared to the ones prepared solely by internal
mixing. These bionanocomposites possess great potential to find
application as food packaging material.},

a case study of Free/Libre Open Source Software ( FLOSS) development to

the problem of geographic separation of their members. Our results show
that successful FLOSS teams demonstrate a truly global distribution of
members, who perform different types of work so as to achieve consistent
round-the-clock development, without any apparent ill effects on team
productivity and the quality of the resulting outcomes. Cooperation
between team members is abundant, especially at more complex work items,
and does not seem to be affected by distance; only mentoring
relationships appear in some cases to be easier to cultivate between
individuals living closer together. These findings challenge the
conventional wisdom of research in distributed work, in cases where
virtual teams consist of highly skilled and motivated individuals, who
leverage the power of communication technologies to overcome problems
associated with physical distance.},

Abstract = {Active satellite remote sensors have emerged in the last years in the
field of archaeology, providing new tools for monitoring extensive
cultural heritage landscapes and areas. These active sensors, namely
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, provide systematic datasets
for mapping land movements triggered from earthquakes, landslides, and
so on. Copernicus, the European program for monitoring the environment,
provides continuous radar datasets through the Sentinel-1 mission with
an almost worldwide coverage. This paper aims to demonstrate how the use
of open-access and freely distributed datasets such as those under the
Copernicus umbrella, along with the exploitation of open-source radar
processing software, namely the sentinel applications platform (SNAP)
and SNAPHU tools, provided respectively by the European Space Agency
(ESA) and the University of Stanford, can be used to extract an SAR
interferogram in the wider area of Paphos, located in the western part
of Cyprus. The city includes various heritage sites and monuments, some
of them already included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. The
interferogram was prepared to study the effects of an earthquake to the
buildings and sites of the area. The earthquake of a 5.6 magnitude on
the Richter scale was triggered on 15 April 2015 and was strongly felt
throughout the whole island. The interferogram results were based on
Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (D-InSAR)
methodology, finding a maximum uplift of 74 mm and a maximum subsidence
of 31 mm. The overall process and methodology are presented in this
paper.},

Abstract = {A vertical software market is usually subject to the process of
disintegration resulting in a market where different layers of software
are provided by independent software vendors. However, as argued in this
paper, the process of this vertical disintegration may be affected by
high investments to software interface implementation and maintenance.
Should the required efforts be large, the threshold for entering the
market increases, thereby hampering the vertical disintegration process.
This study examines the impact of the interface implementation efforts
on the vertical market evolution in the case of the so-called operations
support systems and business support systems (OSS/BSS) software, which
are employed by the telecom operators in order to support their daily
operations. The efforts are compared for two prototypical software
vendors serving incumbent operators and new operators respectively.
Total efforts are an order of magnitude larger in the former case.
Furthermore, even if only latest network protocols are taken into
account, the efforts are significantly larger in the former case,
therefore requiring several times greater number of employees to
implement them. Therefore, a conclusion is made that the OSS/BSS market
is likely to polarize into the vertical submarket of large software
vendors serving incumbent operators, and the submarket of small vendors
serving young operators. The latter submarket, due to the lower entry
threshold for new vendors is more likely to be vertically disintegrated.},

Year = {2012},
Volume = {20},

Abstract = {From the outbreak of the war, the United States strove to establish a
modern and efficient intelligence service. First, they founded the
Coordination of Information (COI) and subsequently, the Office of
Strategic Services - OSS), naming General William Donovan as head of
both. Right from the establishment of OSS, Donovan wanted to expand its
operations to North African and Mediterranean battlefields in order for
the American intelligence service to be able to direct special
operations against the Axis Powers in Yugoslavia from there. The setting
up of the bases required a considerable amount of effort and negotiation
with the British secret services, as they were used to defending their
own interests and leading intelligence position in the Balkans and would
not permit the OSS to operate independently in Yugoslavia. Donovan thus
established bases in Cairo and Bari, with a Yugoslav section operating
within each. The principal tasks of the two sections were to train the
personnel to be sent to Yugoslavia, to gather intelligence about
Yugoslavia, organise assistance and support for Yugoslav resistance
movements and compile intelligence obtained by the OSS from its missions
from the occupied Yugoslav territory. Aided initially by the government
in exile and later on by Partisan representatives in southern Italy, the
Yugoslav sections trained numerous Yugoslays many of who were Slovenes
and sent them back to Yugoslavia. These worked as wireless operators,
cryptographers and interpreters mostly between Slovene and Croatian
Partisans. Some Slovenes, American Slovenes in particular, carried out
the functions of mission chiefs or instructors in the Yugoslav sections
of the OSS. Although collaborators with the American intelligence
service made important contribution to the common struggle against the
Axis Powers, they were branded by the Partisan leadership towards the
end of the war and after it for having worked with the Americans.
Following the Tehran Conference in December 1943, the supply of aid for
the resistance movements was directed to support the Partisan movement.
Towards the end of the war and with the growth of the National
Liberation Movement (NOG) in Yugoslavia, the role of the Yugoslav
section gradually diminished It can be concluded that the activities of
the Yugoslav sections in Cairo and Bari significantly influenced the
development of resistance movements in Yugoslavia and Slovenia, both in
terms of organising aid as well as training and sending the American
missions to Yugoslavia.},

Abstract = {Following George Eliot, Elizabeth von Arnim showcases a male rhetoric of
naturalness. Her men cultivate and punish their women when they resist
naturalizing. Without denigrating the intelligence of women, von Arnim
shows their unwitting complicity in their subjection. In The Pastor's
Wife (1914) and in Vera (1921), the highly literate women have read the
wrong books or missed the unfriendly truths about relationships in those
they have read. The husbands and lovers make shallow use of
philosophical and scientific reasoning to justify their control and
enforce female uniformity deemed natural'. Darwin is misappropriated by
the tyrannical Wemyss: evolutionary theories support his imperious
dismissal of Lucy's aunt and friends. Wemyss's most monstrous actions
suggest an atavistic patriarchal dominance like the hereditary reversion
theorized by Samuel Butler as unconscious memory. Wemyss brings up the
issue of England's inheritance, and a disturbing vision dawns as the
philistine and self-appointed natural man subdues Lucy. Daphne du
Maurier's Rebecca (1938) follows Vera's plot, but it does not
interrogate naturalness in the same way. Entrapped in her husband's
vision of a natural woman, the narrator registers Rebecca's wild
transgressiveness as more powerful and universal than her own tamed
naturalness.},

Abstract = {This study was designed to improve the traditional scouring procedure
using a solution of sodium silicate, sodium carbonate, H2O2, surfactant
etc. as a refining agent for degumming machine-drawn raw silk sheet
(RSS) and raw silk from the cocoon shell of the silkworm Bombyx mori.
The RSS was scoured firstly in strongly alkaline electrolyzed water
(SAEW, pH >= 11.5) consisting mainly of hydroxyl ions by boiling for 30
min and then treated by the traditional scouring procedure (without
alkaline compounds), resulting in refined silk floss. The recycled SAEW
containing sericin was separated by ultrafiltration into a retentate
with a range of high molecular mass values accounting for 10\% (w/w) of
the cocoon shell and the filtrate was separated by nanofiltration into a
purified H2O filtrate and a retentate containing oligopeptides and free
amino acids, which can be used directly as food additives or in
biological growth media. The ultrafiltration retentate was hydrolyzed by
papain under three different conditions into three groups of sericin
peptides with high, middle or low molecular mass. Sodium dodecyl
sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and gel permeation
high-performance liquid chromatography (GP-HPLC) showed the molecular
mass of these sericin peptides was in the range 0.2-60, 0.2 -30 and
0.2-15 kDa. These clean products have a variety of applications,
including coating materials for surface modification, cell culture media
and food additives. The procedure described here could be applied to the
manufacture of silk floss quilts and the process of refining raw silk,
which results in three clean products of the silk protein fibroin (i.e.
stripped of sericin) and reduces environmental pollution from scouring
waste containing sericin. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

Abstract = {Background: Online forums are instruments through which information or
problems are shared and discussed, including expressions of interests
and intentions.
Objective: In this paper, we present ongoing work aimed at analyzing the
content of forum posts of a hybrid open source company that offers both
free and commercial licenses, in order to help its community manager
gain improved understanding of the forum discussions and sentiments and
automatically discover new opportunities such as sales leads, i.e.,
people who are interested in buying a license. These leads can then be
forwarded to the sales team for follow-up and can result in them
potentially making a sale, thus increasing company revenue.
Method: For the analysis of the forums, an untapped channel for sales
leads by the company, text analysis techniques are utilized to identify
potential sales leads and the discussion topics and sentiments in those
leads.
Results: Results of our preliminary work make a positive contribution in
lessening the community manager's work in understanding the sentiment
and discussion topics in the hybrid open source forum community, as well
as make it easier and faster to identify potential future customers.
Conclusion: We believe that the results will positively contribute to
improving the sales of licenses for the hybrid open source company.},

Month = {JUL},
Abstract = {In this study, we propose a new open-source simulation platform that
comprises computer-aided design and computer-aided engineering tools for
highly automated evaluation of electric field distribution and neural
activation during Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). It will be shown how a
Volume Conductor Model (VCM) is constructed and examined using
Python-controlled algorithms for generation, discretization and adaptive
mesh refinement of the computational domain, as well as for
incorporation of heterogeneous and anisotropic properties of the tissue
and allocation of neuron models. The utilization of the platform is
facilitated by a collection of predefined input setups and quick
visualization routines. The accuracy of a VCM, created and optimized by
the platform, was estimated by comparison with a commercial software.
The results demonstrate no significant deviation between the models in
the electric potential distribution. A qualitative estimation of
different physics for the VCM shows an agreement with previous
computational studies. The proposed computational platform is suitable
for an accurate estimation of electric fields during DBS in scientific
modeling studies. In future, we intend to acquire SDA and EMA approval.
Successful incorporation of open-source software, controlled by in-house
developed algorithms, provides a highly automated solution. The platform
allows for optimization and uncertainty quantification (UQ) studies,
while employment of the open-source software facilitates accessibility
and reproducibility of simulations.},

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) forges contain rich data sources that are
useful for supporting development activities. Research has been done to
promote techniques and tools for providing open source developers with
innovative features aiming at obtaining improvements in terms of
development effort, cost savings, and developer productivity, just to
mention a few. In the context of the EU H2020 CROSSMINER project we are
conceiving a set of recommendations to assist software programmers in
different phases of the development process. To this end, we defined a
graph-based representation to encode in a homogeneous manner different
aspects of OSS ecosystems as well as to incorporate various well-founded
recommendation techniques. Following the proposed paradigm, we have
implemented recommender systems for providing various artifacts, such as
third-party libraries and API usage. The preliminary results we achieved
so far are promising: our proposed systems are able to suggest highly
relevant items with respect to the current development context. In this
paper, we describe what has been achieved so far as well as our planned
medium and longer-term objectives. As a proof of concept, we present a
use case where we built a context-aware recommender system to recommend
API function calls and usage patterns.},

tools when institutions such as the American School of Classical Studies
at Athens attempt to maintain professional autonomy. Nonetheless, the
cooperation of scientists and scholars with the Office of Strategic

at the same time, sociological categorizations of knowledge and its
employment are used in order to situate archaeologists in their broader
social and political context and to evaluate their work not merely as
agents of disciplinary knowledge but also as agents of culture and

the A50 road link (Eindhoven-Oss, The Netherlands)},

Pages = {327-349},

Note = {Workshop on Ecological Engineering for Ecosystem Restoration, ZEIST,
NETHERLANDS, NOV 28-30, 1994},
Abstract = {After years of efforts to avoid or reduce the impact of infrastructure
projects on nature, the principle of ecological compensation has been
incorporated in Dutch governmental policy. Ecological compensation aims
to recover those ecological functions and natural values that still
remain affected after maximum effort has been made to reduce the impact
of the intervention (mitigation). The accepted aim of current policy is
thus no-net-loss of area and quality by means of mitigative and
compensatory measures. As part sf the planning process for construction
of a stretch of road in The Netherlands, viz,, the A50 road link in the
province of North Brabant, a Nature Compensation Plan (NCP) was required
to be drawn up. This work has recently been completed by the Regional
Directorate of Public Works and Water Management, the initiator of the
intervention. The NCP, initially presented as a Draft Plan, was drawn up
by the Regional Directorate using a preliminary method designed by the
Centre of Environmental Science of Leiden University for deriving
compensatory measures. After an opportunity for public comment, the
Draft Plan was revised to form a Final NCP. This article describes,
firstly, the preliminary method for deriving ecological compensatory
measures. The method starts by quantifying the effects of habitat loss,
habitat disturbance (by changes in noise emissions, in the water table
and in outdoor recreational patterns), barrier action and fauna
casualties. Following mitigation of impacts on nature, compensation for
non-mitigable effects focuses successively on area size, derived from
the impact on breeding birds, and on area quality, derived from the
habitat requirements of the vegetation and fauna groups affected by the
road. Guidelines for identifying appropriate locations for compensation
are also formulated. Secondly, the compensation method is applied to
calculate the mitigative and compensatory measures for the A50
trajectory between Eindhoven and Oss. Thirdly, two comparisons are made:
the Draft NCP is compared with the results of the preliminary method,
and the Draft and the Final NCP are compared with one another in order
to identify the role of the interest groups that played a major role in
commenting on the Draft Plan. Finally, realization of the compensatory
measures and development of the preliminary method itself are discussed.
On the basis of the experience with the A50 case study, a more robust
compensation method for road projects is to be developed.},

Abstract = {The South African Government adopted a policy for Free and Open Source
Software (FOSS) migration in the public sector in 2003. This FOSS policy
was extended to include open content in 2006. Notwithstanding, levels of
FOSS adoption within the public sector in South Africa are still low
(Mosoval et al., 2006; Mtsweni \& Bierman, 2008). Although a number of
papers have been written on FOSS, there is not enough literature
discussing its actual implementation of FOSS (Waring \& Maddock, 2005).
This paper adopts a strategic management perspective to discussing FOSS
migration within the South African public sector. The organic model for
strategic management developed by Farjoun (2002) is use to demonstrate
implications for FOSS migration amongst all South African Government
Departments (includes more than 1000 sites)},

Abstract = {How long do vulnerabilities live in the repositories of large, evolving
projects? Although the question has been identified as an interesting
problem by the software community in online forums, it has not been
investigated yet in adequate depth and scale, since the process of
identifying the exact point in time when a vulnerability was introduced
is particularly cumbersome. In this paper, we provide an automatic
approach for accurately estimating how long vulnerabilities remain in
the code (their lifetimes). Our method relies on the observation that
while it is difficult to pinpoint the exact point of introduction for
one vulnerability, it is possible to accurately estimate the average
lifetime of a large enough sample of vulnerabilities, via a heuristic
approach.
With our approach, we perform the first large-scale measurement of Free
and Open Source Software vulnerability lifetimes, going beyond
approaches estimating lower bounds prevalent in previous research. We
find that the average lifetime of a vulnerability is around 4 years,
varying significantly between projects (similar to 2 years for Chromium,
similar to 7 years for OpenSSL). The distribution of lifetimes can be
approximately described by an exponential distribution. There are no
statistically significant differences between the lifetimes of different
vulnerability types when considering specific projects. Vulnerabilities
are getting older, as the average lifetime of fixed vulnerabilities in a
given year increases over time, influenced by the overall increase of
code age. However, they live less than non-vulnerable code, with an
increasing spread over time for some projects, suggesting a notion of
maturity that can be considered an indicator of quality. While the
introduction of fuzzers does not significantly reduce the lifetimes of
memory-related vulnerabilities, further research is needed to better
understand and quantify the impact of fuzzers and other tools on
vulnerability lifetimes and on the security of codebases.},

Abstract = {Studies made Sept. 15 to Nov. 6, 1943, in a 12-county area in northern
Michigan showed the factors most strongly influencing the stand density
and pod yield of common milkweed, A. syriaca, to be degree of
competition from quackgrass or bluegrass; shading in and adjacent to
wooded areas; and the time and intensity of cultivation in cropland
areas. Within wide limits topography and soil type, texture, and
fertility seemed to be of minor importance, although milkweed appeared
to grow best on well drained lighter soils of average to high fertility
and was never found on poorly drained or highly acid soils. Milkweed
appeared to find its most favorable environment on recently abandoned
row-crop land and on recently cut-over stump land in situations where a
sod of quackgrass or bluegrass had not been established. In Emmet
County, probably the most densely infested county in the U. S., milkweed
occupied 9.8\% of the cultivated land, 12\% of the pasture and abandoned
crop land, and 2.5\% of the hay meadow or mow-land, or an average of
8.4\% of all cleared land. Milkweed occupied only 0.16\% of the
forest-covered land.},

serially sectioned images and outlined images of a male cadaver.
Thereafter, Anatomage (San Jose, CA) manufactured the table by making
3-dimensional (3D) volume models from the data. Separately, the VK team
reconstructed surface models from the same data and inputted the models
in portable document format (PDF) file, which can be opened on the
personal computer. The software to browse the sectioned and outlined
images was also programmed by VK team. In this report, the table and the
VK free software were compared to establish their supplementary
potentiality. Both the table and free software displayed equivalent 3D
models reconstructed from the same sectioned images. In both platforms,
the models were labeled for users to recognize the individual
structures. Both the table and the free software had respective features
to enhance the virtual dissecting experience. The table came with its
designated hardware with life-sized display, whereas VK software could
be run in any personal computer without burden. The coexistence of the
table and free software will enrich the people learning anatomy. With
increasing VK data and free software, more and more commercial or
complimentary products are expected to be produced.},

Abstract = {The OSS on the Origins Space Telescope is designed to decode the cosmic
history of nucleosynthesis, star formation, and supermassive black hole
growth with wide-area spatial-spectral 3-D surveys across the full 25 to
590 micron band. Six wideband grating modules combine to cover the full
band at R=300, each couples a long slit with 60-190 beams on the sky.
OSS will have a total of 120,000 background-limited detector pixels in
the six 2-D arrays which provide spatial and spectral coverage. The
suite of grating modules can be used for pointed observations of targets
of interest, and are particularly powerful for 3-D spectral spectral
surveys. To chart the transition from interstellar material,
particularly water, to planetary systems, two high-spectral-resolution
modes are included. The first incorporates a Fourier-transform
spectrometer (FTS) in front of the gratings providing resolving power of
25,000 (delta v = 12 km/s) at 179 mu m to resolve water emission in
protoplanetary disk spectra. The second boosts the FTS capability with
an additional etalon (Fabry-Perot interferometer) to provide 2 km/s
resolution in this line to enable detailed structural studies of disks
in the various water and HD lines. Optical, thermal, and mechanical
designs are presented, and the system approach to the detector readout
enabling the large formats is described.},

Abstract = {The English Revision of the Authorized Version of the Bible was
initiated in 1870 and drew upon the finest scholarship of established
and non-conformist clergymen. It ushered in one of the most contentious,
politicized debates in the history of Bible translation, even as it
finally broke the hold of the King James Version. The conflict over the
revision has been known only through published sources. A seal has
remained over the dynamics between the two dozen members of the
committee responsible for the revision of the New Testament. The
official minute book yields nothing of the textual, grammatical, and
translational debates nor of the voting patterns governing decisions.
This gap can now be overcome with the discovery of two of the twenty-one
notebooks kept by Brooke Foss Westcott, one of the members of the
committee. His detailed account of each members' arguments over almost
every verse of Matthew's Gospel provides an invaluable insight into the
variety and alignments of English biblical scholarship in the nineteenth
century.},

Abstract = {The estimation of flood losses is an essential component for
risk-oriented flood design, risk mapping or financial appraisals in the
reinsurance sector. However, only simple models, e.g. stage-damage
curves, have been used frequently. Further, the reliability of flood
loss and risk estimates is fairly unknown, since flood loss models are
scarcely validated.
In the aftermath of flooding in August 2002 large data sets of flood
losses were collected at affected properties in Germany. These data were
used to derive multi-factorial loss models. This paper presents FLEMOps
- the Flood Loss Estimation Model for the private sector, which
estimates direct monetary flood losses of residential buildings and
household contents considering water level, building type and building
quality. In an additional model stage (FLEMOps+), the effects of private
precautionary measures as well as of the contamination of the floodwater
can be quantified. Together with census data and land use information
the model is adapted for applications on the meso-scale.
Further, different data sets of repair costs for single buildings and in
whole municipalities were used to validate loss estimates on the micro-
as well as on the meso-scale. First results show that the model FLEMOps+
outperforms simple stage-damage-functions.},

Abstract = {The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of exposure of heavy
metals such as Ni, Fe and Mn on the growth of the cyanobacteria Anabaena
flos-aquae, which can be found in fresh water environment. Results of
the experiments showed that exposure of A. flos-aquae to Ni caused the
most toxic effect as compared to exposure with Fe and Mn. The 96 hr LC50
value for Ni exposure was 0.321 mu g/mL (approximately 30\% inhibition),
whereas Mn was the second most toxic metal followed by Fe with the 96 hr
LC50 values of 0.684 mu g/mL and 3.020 mu g/mL respectively. This study
demonstrated that even though Fe and Mn are essential micronutrients for
A. flos-aquae, both show toxic effects at high concentrations. The
difference in the toxicity value between Fe and Mn for A. flos-aquae is
five times and this indicates that Mn was five times more toxic to A.
flos-aquae than Fe suggestings that the cyanobacteria is more tolerant
to Fe when compared with Mn.},

Title = {OPTIMIZED DETERMINATION OF 3D COORDINATES IN THE SURVEY OF INACCESSIBLE
POINTS OF BUILDINGS - EXAMPLE OF APPLICATION IMPLEMENTED IN FREE
SOFTWARE},
Journal = {BOLETIM DE CIENCIAS GEODESICAS},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {27},
Number = {2},
Abstract = {The forward intersection method is already widely used in the geodetic
survey of coordinates of inaccessible points, especially when only angle
measurements are available, in this case, also called the triangulation
method. However, the mathematical solution of the 3D forward
intersection with the analytical definition of spatial lines, resolved
by the Minimum Distances Method, is still not widespread in the academic
and professional environment. This mathematical modeling determines the
3D coordinates of a point located in the middle of the minimum distance
between two or more spatial lines, which spatially ``intersect{''}
towards the observation point. This solution is more accurate than
others presented in the literature because it simultaneously solves the
problem of 3D determination of a point by the method of least squares,
in addition to providing an estimate of the coordinate precision, which
are inherent to the adjustment. This work, therefore, has the objective
of explaining the Minimum Distances Method for the spatial intersection
of targeted measurements with a Total Station from two or more known
observation points for the 3D determination of inaccessible points
located in corners of buildings. For the analysis of the method, a
Python tool was developed for QGIS that calculates the 3D coordinates
and generates the adjustment processing report, being applied with real
observations of the Geodetic survey of the SUDENE building, in
Recife-PE. The methodology developed in this work proved to be suitable
for measurements of large structures, achieving spherical precision
better than +/- 1.0 cm, following the Brazilian standards for urban
cadastre.},

Title = {THE USE OF A FREE SOFTWARE FOR DETERMINATION OF THE INTERNAL FORCES OF
LIVE LOADS IN BEAMS OF CONCRETE BRIDGES},
Journal = {HOLOS},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {36},
Number = {3},
Abstract = {Ftool is used in civil engineering due to its facilities and
simplifications in structural modeling; for not requiring robust
computers for its use; not having high processing time in the analyzes,
being generally fast and for being a free software. It allows the
creation of live loads, and these are used in calculating the envelope
of internal forces in bridge beams. Despite this, a significant number
of projects, dissertations and theses in the area of bridges, especially
in graduate courses, still do not use it in the analysis of life loads
in bridge beams. In this sense, this project aims to encourage the use
of Ftool to carry out structural analysis in beams of bridge beams,
whether in determining the respective lines of influence or internal
efforts; so that graduate students and researchers start to use it in
their respective projects. Four numerical examples are developed and
each one uses paid software, SAP2000, Ansys or GAP-GEL v1, and the
results are compared with Ftool. In all examples, the variations in the
results are less than 9\%, in the worst case, but in most of them, this
variation is less than 3\%. These differences can be considered as
acceptable, since, later, different coefficients are applied. Finally,
the Ftool proved to be effective and robust, with reliable results and,
therefore, recommended for the determination of the different internal
and TTL efforts in the beams, due to different live loads acting on
bridge decks composed of two, three, seven and eight beams. Without the
need to use more complex and paid software to carry out such analyzes.},

developers about high impact bugs to understand FLOSS developers' needs
for bug finding and fixing, and we manually inspect and classify
developers' answers (bugs) by symptoms and root causes of bugs. As a
result, we show that security and breakage bugs are highly crucial for
FLOSS developers. We also identify what kinds of high impact bugs should
be studied newly by the SE community to help FLOSS developers.},

Abstract = {Open source communities have contributed widely to modern software
development. The number of open source software (OSS) has increased
rapidly in the past two decades. Most open source foundations (such as
Eclipse, Mozilla and Apache) operate as non-profit; those foundations
usually seek donations from users/developers to financially support
their activities. Without such support, some projects might discontinue
to develop, or even disappear. However, contributions to those
foundations are usually solicited in a very simple and modest way, with
no special promotions or attractions for such contributions. The aim of
this study is to promote new strategies that can help to increase
donations to OSS projects. We analyzed how existing donation pages are
structured. We then introduce behavioral economics and psychological
theories that have been used in other disciplines to promote donations
in OSS. In particular, we used the social proof theory, i.e., where
people tend to consider the actions of others in an attempt to reflect
correct behavior when they choose their own actions, and legitimization
of paltry contributions strategy i.e., using specific phrases such as
``even a very small amount will help{''} to encourage donations. In this
study, we conducted an experiment with University students to examine if
those theories are effective in encouraging donations to OSS. Our
initial results indicate that the two strategies were indeed effective
in promoting donations, and showed that users were more open for
donation compared to traditional methods. This is only a preliminary
analysis - we aim to include more users in the future for a more
comprehensive analysis. We anticipate that such techniques might help
OSS projects to secure more donations in the future.},

Abstract = {This paper describes the structure-based design of a preliminary drug
candidate against COVID-19 using free software and publicly available
X-ray crystallographic structures. The goal of this tutorial is to
disseminate skills in structure-based drug design and to allow others to
unleash their own creativity to design new drugs to fight the current
pandemic. The tutorial begins with the X-ray crystallographic structure
of the main protease (M-pro) of the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) bound to
a peptide substrate and then uses the UCSF Chimera software to modify
the substrate to create a cyclic peptide inhibitor within the M-pro
active site. Finally, the tutorial uses the molecular docking software
AutoDock Vina to show the interaction of the cyclic peptide inhibitor
with both SARS-CoV M-pro and the highly homologous SARS-CoV-2 M-pro. The
supporting information provides an illustrated step-by-step protocol, as
well as a video showing the inhibitor design process, to help readers
design their own drug candidates for COVID-19 and the coronaviruses that
will cause future pandemics. An accompanying preprint in bioRxiv

Abstract = {Deproteinized cancellous bovine bone (Bio-Oss(R)) was placed as a
grafting material for sinus floor elevation in the right posterior
maxilla. After 6 months of healing, 3 cylindrical titanium-plasma coated
implants were inserted. Six months later at the abutment connection, it
was realized that 1 of the implants could not be reconstructed due to
unfavorable positioning. This implant was removed along with a small
portion of the surrounding periimplant tissues. The specimen was
processed according to standard techniques for hard tissue histology. In
both the grafted area and the previously existing area of the sinus
floor the bone was primarily of lamellar structure. Intimate contact
between newly formed bone and the particles of the graft was present. No
overt signs of resorption of the graft particles were visible.
Histomorphometric analysis revealed 63\% of implant-bone contact in the
zone of pre-existing bone, and 73\% in the grafted zone. The area
density of bone amounted to 27\% in the non-grafted as compared to 28\%
in the grafted area. In conclusion, this case report documented that
deproteinized bovine bone, when used as a grafting material for
augmentation of the sinus floor, may lead to proper osseointegration of
a dental implant.},

Month = {DEC 1},
Abstract = {Features of rapid loss and inadequate bone mass of alveolar bone after
teeth extraction are still great obstacles for a successful
subsequential dental implantation. MicroRNA-based therapy, though an
advantageous strategy in tissue regeneration, is still not available for
alveolar bone due to the unique complicated oral environment which is
full of enzymes and electrolytes. In this paper, a microRNA-activated
scaffold constituted of microRNA21 nanoparticles combined with porous
Bio-Oss particles was designed for the use of accelerating the early
stage healing of the alveolar bone. It was noteworthy that the
regeneration of alveolar bone was rapidly promoted to be shortened from
the ordinary 3 months to 2 weeks. The nanoparticles designed by us
according to the oral environment could protect microRNA from various
enzymes and electrolytes attack, leading to a steady, continuous, and
efficient delivery of gene. With the aid of porous Bio-Oss, microRNA-21
released in situ and its effects on highly reducing the recovery time
and improving the quality of newly formed bone at the alveolar site were
confirmed for the first time. Great potential could be seen for the
microRNA-mediated biofunctionalized scaffold on the future dental
application.},

Abstract = {Context: Software Engineering (SE) is a key topic in undergraduate
computing-related courses that provides the basic knowledge and skills
necessary for professional practice in the software industry. Teaching
SE principles, concepts and practices and relating them to real-world
scenarios are challenging tasks, and the adoption of Free/Libre/Open
Source Software (FLOSS) projects can help to face these challenges. On
the other hand, using FLOSS projects as a didactic resource may
introduce additional challenges to professors that are not familiar with
the FLOSS ecosystem. Objective: This research aims to identify and map
the profiles of professors of SE courses in Brazil, as well as to
present the pedagogical practices used in the experience with FLOSS
projects in Software Engineering Education (SEE). Method: We performed a
survey with higher education professors in Brazil, used K-modes
algorithm to identify clusters and Decision Tree algorithm to identify
characteristics that determine the use of FLOSS projects in a sample of
professors who had not used this approach in the classroom. Results: The

Abstract = {This essay argues that steam and its gaseous properties in George
Eliot's The Mill on the Floss (1861) represent capital's increasing
abstraction in the nineteenth century that threatened to disrupt
economic and affective relations between people, property, and places
associated with the past while nevertheless introducing new modes of
circulation and more diffusive opportunities for sympathetic connection.
The novel's return to an earlier stage in the development of capital
places the 1830s of the story in dialogue with the 1860s of its
narration, while inviting readers to compare the values of this earlier
period to those of their own. Considering this comparative structure in
relation to nineteenth-century ethnography and its
interlocutors-including Auguste Comte, Ludwig Feuerbach, and Karl Marx-I
read Edward Tulliver's primitive materialism and the Dodson sisters'
fetishism as both humorous reactions and more earnest forms of
resistance to this increasing abstraction. Eliot ultimately turns toward
the figurative possibilities of sublimation as a way to bridge the
concrete and the abstract, the particular and the general, will and
affect, self and other. Sublimation-not liquidation-therefore serves as
the more apt metaphor for sympathy in the novel.},

Abstract = {Aim
The objective of this experiment was to analyze processes involved in
the incorporation of Bio-Oss (R) Collagen in host tissue during healing
following tooth extraction and grafting.
Methods
Five beagle dogs were used. Four premolars in the mandible (P-3(3),
P-4(4)) were hemi-sected, the distal roots were removed and the fresh
extraction socket filled with Bio-Oss (R) Collagen. The mucosa was
mobilized and the extraction site was closed with interrupted sutures.
The tooth extraction and grafting procedures were scheduled in such a
way that biopsies representing 1 and 3 days, as well as 1, 2 and 4 weeks
of healing could be obtained. The dogs were euthanized and perfused with
a fixative. Each experimental site, including the distal socket area,
was dissected. The sites were decalcified in EDTA, and serial sections
representing the central part of the socket were prepared in the
mesio-distal plane and parallel with the long axis of the extraction
socket. Sections were stained in hematoxylin and eosin and were used for
the overall characteristics of the tissues in the extraction socket. In
specimens representing 1, 2 and 4 weeks of healing the various tissue
elements were assessed using a morphometric point counting procedure.
Tissue elements such as cells, fibers, vessels, leukocytes and
mineralized bone were determined. In deparaffinized sections structures
and cells positive for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity
(TRAP), alkaline phosphatase and osteopontin were identified.
Results
The biomaterial was first trapped in the fibrin network of the coagulum.
Neutrophilic leukocytes {[}polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells] migrated to
the surface of the foreign particles. In a second phase the PMN cells
were replaced by multinuclear TRAP-positive cells (osteoclasts). The
osteoclasts apparently removed material from the surface of the
xenogeneic graft. When after 1-2 weeks the osteoclasts disappeared from
the Bio-Oss (R) granules they were followed by osteoblasts that laid
down bone mineral in the collagen bundles of the provisional matrix. In
this third phase the Bio-Oss (R) particles became osseointegrated.
Conclusions
It was demonstrated that the incorporation of Bio-Oss (R) in the tissue
that formed in an extraction wound involved a series of different
processes.

just worked on the understanding of how important is to create in groups
and to share the creations with the educational community. Thus, the
pre-task was to look for information about what open source is and to
explain it in a forum; then, the group attended a meeting about open
source where the policy of the Junta de Extremadura was expounded. This
is the framework given to set to the main tasks of the subject: the
development of two courses, a course for parents to help their children

Abstract = {Over the last few years the notion of the Collaborative Economy has
become increasingly popular despite the lack of consensus around its
meaning. This term includes a wide variety of experiences from time
banks and urban gardens to startups or digital platforms. The recent
expansion of all tthese initiatives can be linked to a combination of
factors such as the technological development, economic recession and
other overlapping crises (environmental, care, political.) and changing
social values. During 2014-2015, two almost parallel studies were
undertaken following a similar methodology. The first one was aimed at
defining and identifying Collaborative Economy practices linked to
Andalusia's public universities. The second study searched for
entrepreneurship sharing initiatives in the region. The results led to
the following question about the nature of the Collaborative Economy: Is
it possible to define these practices as postcapitalist initiatives and
do they promote a fairer and more equalitarian society or do they
respond to capital forces and simply aim to continue extracting and
privatizing value which is socially generated? This article analyses a
specific set of initiatives identified in Andalusia, those based on open
source software and digital production. Its conclusions are that, these
initiatives are, up to a point, embedded with the hacker ethic and the
logics of open knowledge. Therefore, they could be situated within the
promotion of a global commons which is opposed to the hegemonic logics
of netarchical capitalism.},

Abstract = {Since the 2000 Constitution entered into force, achieving technological
autonomy and independence has been pursued in Venezuela in order to
contribute to the economic, social and political development of the
country. Thus, the obligatory use of free software in public
administration was ordained to promote the opportune and efficient
rendering of public services, since this technology is included as an
instrument for the above-mentioned tasks. For example, the Ministry of
Popular Power for Internal Relations and Justice, through the Autonomous
Service of Registries and Notaries and the emission of decrees and laws
that govern the corresponding competence, such as Presidential Decree
3.390 (Presidency of the Republic, 2004), has implemented modernization
through the automation of registry and notary processes by employing
electronic means in which free software has a place. Interest has arisen
in establishing an effective legal application for the public function
developed by Registries and Notaries by implementing such an IT
migration. Research of the documentary type with a bibliographical
design was adopted using the documentary observation method based on the
Law of Public Registry and Notary (National Assembly, 2006) and the
Organic Law of Civil Registry (National Assembly, 2009), that regulate
registry and notary matters in Venezuela, making it possible to obtain
results through a legal hermeneutic applicable in the method of dogmatic
juridical analysis, concluding with knowledge of the legal effects that
determined the essentialness of concrete actions to use this type of
software, according to precepts applicable to the specified public
function.},

Title = {`SleepCycles' package for R - A free software tool for the detection of
sleep cycles from sleep staging},
Journal = {METHODSX},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {8},
Abstract = {The detection of NREM-REM sleep cycles in human sleep data (i.e.,
polysomnographically assessed sleep stages) enables fine-grained
analyses of ultradian variations in sleep microstructure (e.g., sleep
spindles, and arousals), or other amplitude- and frequency-specific
electroencephalographic features during sleep. While many laboratories
have software that is used internally, reproducibility requires the
availability of open-source software. Therefore, we here introduce the
`SleepCycles' package for R, an open-source software package that
identifies sleep cycles and their respective (non-) rapid eye movement
({[}N]REM) periods from sleep staging data. Additionally, each (N)REM
period is subdivided into parts of equal duration (percentiles), which
may be useful for further fine-grained analyses. The detection criteria
used in the package are, with some adaptations, largely based on
criteria originally proposed by Feinberg and Floyd (1979). The latest
version of the package can be downloaded from the Comprehensive R
Archives Network (CRAN).
The package `SleepCycles' for R allows to identify sleep cycles and
their respective NREM and REM periods from sleep staging results.
Besides the cycle detection, NREM and REM periods are also split into
parts of equal duration (percentiles) thereby allowing for a better
temporal resolution across the night and comparisons of sleep cycles
with different durations amongst different night recordings. (C) 2021

Journal = {DENTAL AND MEDICAL PROBLEMS},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {51},
Number = {4},

Month = {OCT-DEC},
Abstract = {Background. Bone tissue regeneration remains one of the most important
issues of maxillofacial surgery. Restoration of the native structure of
bone after osteoplasty is directly related to the process of
revascularization, because the growing of blood vessels into the graft
is a precondition for transport of osteogenic cells, growth factors
necessary for further osteogenesis.
Objectives. To determine the peculiarities of bone tissue regeneration
after osteoplasty with BioOss (R) and compare it with autological bone
graft.
Material and Methods. Experimental study was conducted on 60 white rats
(males, aged 6- 8 month, weight 270- 380 g). The area of dorsal surface
of the shinbone was used for implantation. After opening access to the
bone surface, one 2 mm-diameter defect was formed on each shinbone. One
of those bone defects was filled with osteoplastic material and the
opposite was healing under a blood clot. After that the wound in soft
tissues was closed in layer by layer. The osteocalcin level in blood
serum was determined by ELISA employing N-MID Osteocalcin (R) ELISA
(IDS) test system(enzyme immunological test for the quantitative
measurement of osteocalcin). The peculiarities of revascularization were
studied by histologic method. Histologic specimen were stained using
Schmorl technique (thionine with phenol trinitrate) and natural
hematoxylin-eosin.
Results. Mean values of osteocalcin concentration after BioOss
implantation ranged from 2 +/- 0.06 ng/mL to 3.65 +/- 0.09 ng/mL; after
autological bone graft transplant - from 1.88 +/- 0.09 ng/mLto 2.2 +/-
0.09 ng/mL. In the case of Bio-Oss use, the most active
revascularization processes and the highest level of osteocalcin were
registered on day 60. In the case of autological bone graft use, the
quantity of blood vessels increased steadily and equally during the
whole period of the experiment.
Conclusions. According to the obtained results, the use of autological
bone graft and Bio-Oss osteoplastic material increases bone formation
and revascularization activity and improves the bone structure unlike
when healing took place under the blood clot},

Title = {OSS (Outer Solar System): a fundamental and planetary physics mission to

Volume = {34},

Abstract = {The present OSS (Outer Solar System) mission continues a long and bright
tradition by associating the communities of fundamental physics and
planetary sciences in a single mission with ambitious goals in both
domains. OSS is an M-class mission to explore the Neptune system almost
half a century after the flyby of the Voyager 2 spacecraft. Several
discoveries were made by Voyager 2, including the Great Dark Spot (which
has now disappeared) and Triton's geysers. Voyager 2 revealed the
dynamics of Neptune's atmosphere and found four rings and evidence of
ring arcs above Neptune. Benefiting from a greatly improved
instrumentation, a mission as OSS would result in a striking advance in
the study of the farthest planet of the solar system. Furthermore, OSS
would provide a unique opportunity to visit a selected Kuiper Belt
object subsequent to the passage of the Neptunian system. OSS would help
consolidate the hypothesis of the origin of Triton as a Kuiper Belt
object captured by Neptune, and to improve our knowledge on the
formation of the solar system. The OSS probe would carry instruments
allowing precise tracking of the spacecraft during the cruise. It would
facilitate the best possible tests of the laws of gravity in deep space.
These objectives are important for fundamental physics, as they test
General Relativity, our current theoretical description of gravitation,
but also for cosmology, astrophysics and planetary science, as General
Relativity is used as a tool in all these domains. In particular, the
models of solar system formation uses General Relativity to describe the
crucial role of gravity. OSS is proposed as an international cooperation
between ESA and NASA, giving the capability for ESA to launch an M-class
mission towards the farthest planet of the solar system, and to a Kuiper
Belt object. The proposed mission profile would allow to deliver a 500
kg class spacecraft. The design of the probe is mainly constrained by
the deep space gravity test in order to minimize the perturbation of the
accelerometer measurement.},

Abstract = {Co-membership has been considered as a major mechanism for constructing
social networks, but it has met many criticisms over time for failing to
control for alternative mechanisms for knowledge flow. Although social
networks constructed in online environment can reduce such
possibilities, it is not without limitations. One possible mechanism for
learning and knowledge flow is direct watching and observation. This
study investigates the impact of co-membership taking into account the
alternative mechanism of watching under the setting of OSS development
at GitHub. It finds that both co-membership and watching contribute
positively to OSS success, and thus shows the co-existence of both
experiential learning and vicarious learning for OSS development.
Moreover, it finds the impact of co-membership is much stronger than
watching. While the impact of co-membership may be biased in prior
literature, this study confirms that co-membership is indeed an
effective mechanism for constructing online social networks for
knowledge flow.},

Abstract = {Author summaryMost bioinformatics workflows deal with DNA/RNA variations
that are typically represented in the variant call format (VCF)-a file
format that describes mutations (SNP and MNP), insertions and deletions
(INDEL) against a reference genome. Here we present a wide range of free
and open source software tools that are used in biomedical sequencing
workflows around the world today.
Since its introduction in 2011 the variant call format (VCF) has been
widely adopted for processing DNA and RNA variants in practically all
population studies-as well as in somatic and germline mutation studies.
The VCF format can represent single nucleotide variants,
multi-nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions, and simple
structural variants called and anchored against a reference genome.Here
we present a spectrum of over 125 useful, complimentary free and open
source software tools and libraries, we wrote and made available through
the multiple vcflib, bio-vcf, cyvcf2, hts-nim and slivar projects. These
tools are applied for comparison, filtering, normalisation, smoothing
and annotation of VCF, as well as output of statistics, visualisation,
and transformations of files variants. These tools run everyday in
critical biomedical pipelines and countless shell scripts. Our tools are
part of the wider bioinformatics ecosystem and we highlight best
practices.We shortly discuss the design of VCF, lessons learnt, and how
we can address more complex variation through pangenome graph formats,
variation that can not easily be represented by the VCF format.},

Title = {OSS-Qual: Holistic Scale to Assess Customer Quality Perception When
Buying Secondhand Products in Online Platforms},
Journal = {SUSTAINABILITY},
Year = {2020},
Volume = {12},
Number = {21},
Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {Online secondhand markets have been growing substantially over the last
decade and are expected to grow further. In order to effectively promote
the growth of online secondhand markets, this paper designs and
validates a scale to assess customer perception of the service quality
of secondhand products purchased via online platforms. Complementarily,
the paper assesses how each of the different dimensions that configure
the scale contributes to explaining the fulfillment of customers'
expectations. The scale is defined by 23 items and is arranged in 5
dimensions from the literature on online commerce as well as on the
sharing economy. A sample of 200 questionnaires is used for exploratory
factor analysis. A second sample of 507 users is used for confirmatory
factor analysis. The quality perceived by online customers of secondhand
products depends on the quality of the interactions that they have with
the website, with the vendor, and with the product. The dimension that
contributes the most to customer fulfillment of expectations is product
quality. Findings identify the items that contribute the most to quality
perception and fulfillment of expectations, facilitating the development
of more effective strategies for platform owners and vendors who want to
attract and retain customers of secondhand products. Complementarily,
these findings are useful to businesses and governments that want to
promote a more sustainable economy by reducing consumption of new
products and promoting reutilization of existing ones.},

and Geospatial Tools-Challenges and Opportunities for Operative Risk
Analysis},

Volume = {4},

Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {An analysis of global statistics shows a substantial increase in flood
damage over the past few decades. Moreover, it is expected that flood
risk will continue to rise due to the combined effect of increasing
numbers of people and economic assets in risk-prone areas and the
effects of climate change. In order to mitigate the impact of natural
hazards on European economies and societies, improved risk assessment,
and management needs to be pursued. With the recent transition to a more
risk-based approach in European flood management policy, flood analysis
models have become an important part of flood risk management (FRM). In
this context, free and open-source (FOSS) geospatial models provide
better and more complete information to stakeholders regarding their
compliance with the Flood Directive (2007/60/EC) for effective and
collaborative FRM. A geospatial model is an essential tool to address
the European challenge for comprehensive and sustainable FRM because it
allows for the use of integrated social and economic quantitative risk
outcomes in a spatio-temporal domain. Moreover, a FOSS model can support
governance processes using an interactive, transparent and collaborative
approach, providing a meaningful experience that both promotes learning
and generates knowledge through a process of guided discovery regarding
flood risk management. This article aims to organize the available
knowledge and characteristics of the methods available to give
operational recommendations and principles that can support authorities,
local entities, and the stakeholders involved in decision-making with
regard to flood risk management in their compliance with the Floods
Directive (2007/60/EC).},

results showed that RCF-OSS performance changes significantly between 5

copying the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF), 7-year-olds
increasingly adopted a global approach. RCF-OSS performance correlated
significantly, but moderately with measures of ROCF accuracy, executive
functioning (fluency, working memory, reasoning), and non-executive
functioning (visual-motor integration, visual attention, processing
speed, numeracy). These findings seem to indicate that RCF-OSS
performance reflects a range of cognitive skills at 5 to 7 years of age,
including aspects of executive and non-executive functioning.},

Title = {Reconstructing 3D ocean subsurface salinity (OSS) from T-S mapping via a
data-driven deep learning model},
Journal = {OCEAN MODELLING},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {184},
Month = {AUG},
Abstract = {Despite the increasing volume of oceanographic data, the available ocean
salinity data remains patently insufficient which limits studying ocean
dynamics, climate change and the calculation of salinity-related ocean
elements. Considering that traditional salinity reconstruction methods
often suffer from various factors such as additional constraints, priori
physical assumptions and large of specific regression coefficients, a
generative adversarial networks (GANs) based deep learning (DL)
framework is proposed to directly construct a near real-time,
high-resolution daily three-dimensional ocean subsurface salinity (3D
OSS) dataset from a data driven perspective in this study. Four models
with different structural combinations are designed in the China's
marginal seas. Experimental results demonstrate that the models can
successfully reconstruct the high-precision and high-resolution 3D OSS
on a daily scale in 12 depth levels (from 2 m to 200 m). The asymmetric
inception3DGAN model with all enhanced structures has the highest
accuracy, the average root-mean-squared error (RMSE) is 0.135psu, the
average coefficient of determination (R2) is 0.5641 and the percent bias
is 0.436\%. Comparing with model without enhanced structures, the
average RMSE is decreased by 22.41\% when adding all the enhancement
structures. Besides, temporal and spatial error analysis are also
conducted to evaluate the models' performance from different aspects.
Finally, the model results are used to analyze common ocean elements,
such as water mass properties, dynamic fields and geostrophic velocity
fields, demonstrating that the 3D OSS dataset construction approach
proposed in this study not only provides some new insights into ocean
observations, but also has high application values.},

Abstract = {Open source projects rely on issue tracking systems such as JIRA or
online forums to keep track of users' feedback, expectations and
requested features. However, since users are not fully aware of existing
features, when submitting new feature requests, redundant requests often
appear in the new feature list. It is a waste of time and effort for
project contributors to manually identify and reject them, especially in
complex systems with many features. Our research is aiming to find a
suitable solution to identify redundant feature requests in OSS
projects. We have conducted a survey on a well-known Open Source
community, Hibernate and gathered all of its feature requests
up-to-date. Through studying and categorizing the characteristics of
these feature requests, we have found that about 37\% of the feature
requests were rejected and the most common rejection reason was
redundancy. Also we have found that it is very expensive to identify and
resolve these redundant feature requests. In this paper, we have
proposed our solution to automatically identify redundant feature
requests through a Feature Tree Model along with a future research
agenda.},

Title = {A Semi-Automatic Method to Create an Affordable Three-Dimensional
Printed Splint Using Open-Source and Free Software},
Journal = {CUREUS JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCE},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {13},
Number = {3},
Month = {MAR 16},
Abstract = {Three-dimensional (3D) printed splints are becoming more feasible in
recent years, showing promising lightweight, waterproof, and hygienic
designs. A typical procedure to create 3D printed splints is obtaining
the geometry of a body segment using a 3D scanner, creating a 3D
printable splint model based on the geometry of the body segment, and 3D
printing the splint. As technologies of 3D scanning and 3D printing
become mature gradually, the main challenge to fabricate 3D printed
splint is to create 3D printable splint models. To solve this challenge,
researchers have proposed various methods to design 3D splint models.
However, most methods require extensive 3D modeling skills that medical
professionals are lacking. In this work, a semi-automatic method is
proposed to create a 3D printable model. Given the geometry of a body
segment obtained through a 3D scanner, the method includes three key
steps: (1) create a draft splint lattice structure, (2) optimize the
splint structure, and (3) create a 3D printable model based on the
optimized structure. All the software adopted for this method is free
and readily available, and thus, there is no additional cost to convert
from a scanned geometry of a body segment to a 3D printable splint
model. Because the majority of the work is done automatically, with
initial training, a medical professional should be able to create a 3D
printable model using the proposed method, given the geometry of a body
segment. The proposed method is demonstrated by creating a 3D printed
wrist splint and the demo is uploaded into GitHub, a popular open-source
platform.},

Abstract = {The existence of the rights of the minority shareholders have always
been at a doubtful position due to the existence of the majority rule
prevalent in the nation, India being the common law country, and most of
the laws been taken by the English Laws and other Common Wealth Nations.
The rule established from the case of Foss vs. Harbottle, which paved
way for exploitation of the minority shareholders, giving excessive
power at the hands of the office-bearers, has always been a hindrance to
secure a protection to the minority shareholders who do not get an
opportunity to approach the Court for seeking justice as they are
considered unauthorised to do so. The instances whereby the rights of
the minority shareholders have been infringed or violated are enormous
in number, and the requirement to secure an amicable environment for
these small in shareholdings yet large numbers of shareholders has
increased with time. Recently, in the judgment, considering the
prevalence of the majority rule, the decision was given in favour of the
majority shareholders of the Company, posing a threat to the position of
the minority shareholders, yet again in the corporate world. Thus, the
researcher here, attempts to critically analyse the majority rule,
discussing in brief the case of Foss vs. Harbottle developed contrary to
the interests of the minority shareholders, and appraise the exceptions
provided under the Majority rule which also acts as a measure to protect
the rights of minority shareholders. The researcher has tried to analyse
the case of Cyrus Mistry trying to identifying as to how the Courts have
failed to provide protection to the minority shareholders and this acts
like a set back to the same.},

Abstract = {Background Plaque and dental caries are the primary agents causing
gingival and periodontal diseases, eventually progressing into tooth
loss. If oral hygiene practice is poor, plaque easily accumulates on the
tooth surface, especially in interproximal areas. To maintain a good
oral environment, it is mandatory to remove or at least reduce the
percentage of plaque formation from the oral cavity. To achieve this,
interdental aids should be used along with toothbrushes, as cleansing
the teeth only with a toothbrush is not effective. Various interdental
aids, like interdental brushes, floss, toothpicks, etc., are now
available on the market. The objective of the current survey was to rate
knowledge as well as make a comparison between the cleaning
effectiveness of interdental brushes and interdental floss to determine
which was better at reducing plaque accumulation and, subsequently,
dental caries. The survey was accessed by measuring individual plaque
and gingival index before and after using interdental cleaning
aids.Methodology The objective of the survey was to evaluate and analyze
the efficiency of interdental brushes and interdental floss in
maintaining oral hygiene among orthodontic patients residing in the
Vidarbha region. After receiving approval from the Ethical Committee
DMIHER(DU)/IEC/2023/721, a study was conducted over a 30-day period,
focusing on a group of 100 individuals aged between 15 and 30 years, and
their assessments were analyzed. The patient was briefed about the study
and asked to make use of an interdental brush and interdental floss. The
gingival index and plaque index were calculated on the same patients
before and after the use of the interdental brush and interdental floss
to determine which was better at reducing plaque accumulation on the
surface of teeth. Descriptive analysis, unpaired for intergroup
comparison, and paired T-tests for intragroup comparison were used. The
software used was SPSS 24.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) and GraphPad Prism
7.0 (GraphPad Software, Inc., La Jolla, CA).Result Everyone's tooth
surfaces naturally develop a thin layer of plaque biofilm, but the
presence of heavy plaque deposits on teeth indicates poor dental
hygiene, which can lead to various oral health issues. Failure to
improve dental hygiene status can result in problems such as halitosis,
gingival issues, periodontal disease, and eventually tooth loss.
Dentists play a crucial role in raising awareness about these concerns
among their patients and providing education on effective oral care
practices, including the use of interdental aids in conjunction with
toothbrushes. When comparing the effectiveness of interdental brushes
and dental floss in removing plaque, interdental brushes have been found
to be more efficient. They not only excel in plaque removal but also
contribute to a reduction in gingival problems. The statistical analysis
supports this, with a significant p-value of less than 0.01 for both the
plaque index and gingival index when using interdental brushes,
indicating their superior performance in maintaining oral
health.Conclusion The study will help every individual improve their
oral hygiene status with the help of an interdental aid and a
toothbrush. This will reduce the chances of having gingival and
periodontal diseases and eventually reduce the risk of tooth loss.},

Title = {Self-reported Use of Dental Floss over 13 Years: Relationship with
Family Income, Mother's Age and Educational Level},
Journal = {ORAL HEALTH \& PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY},
Year = {2016},
Volume = {14},

Abstract = {Purpose: To determine whether family income, age and educational level
of the mother of the family are associated with self-reported use of
dental floss over a 13-year period in a city in southern Brazil.
Materials and Methods: A comparison of two household surveys was carried
out where mothers of the family were interviewed using a structured
questionnaire in order to obtain demographic, behavioural and
socioeconomic information. In total, 852 and 984 households were
included in 1996 and 2009, respectively. Self-reported use of dental
floss was assessed dichotomously (yes/no). Poisson regression models
were fitted to study the association between sociodemographic variables
with the use of dental floss. Proportion ratios (PR) and 95\% confidence
intervals (95\% CI) were reported.
Results: The proportion of dental floss use increased from 48\% to 59\%
over 13 years. The probability of dental floss use increased 1.23 times
from 1996 to 2009 (PR = 1.23; 95\% CI 1.13-1.34). Households with
mothers >= 50 years old presented a 28\% lower probability of using
dental floss than households with mothers <= 35 years old. In households
with higher family income and higher educational level of the mother,
probabilities of flossing were 90\% and 97\% higher.
Conclusion: Family income, age and educational level of the mother of
the family are associated with self-reported use of dental floss over 13
years.},

glass matrix, elaborated by the company PONETI (Romania) and Geistlich
Bio-Oss-Collagen in the form of block (a mixture of granules, 0.25-1mm

is a natural mineral bone of bovine origin, comparable both chemically
and structurally to the mineralized human bone. It has a spongy
consistency that allows simple modeling, and collagen facilitates the
adaptation of the material on the defect site. The biochemical blood
analysis showed an increased activity of bone thermolabile alkaline
phosphatase over 30 days, the maximum being reached over 60 days + 20\%
(p< 0.05) from the beginning of the experiment. The activity of
tartrate-resistant bone acid phosphatase, on the contrary, decreased
veridically by 22\% over 60 days after implantation. Over 30 days after
the beginning of the experiment under the action of the implanted
material, the level of average molecules (AM) increased by 35\% (p <
0.05), while nucleotide substances (NS) increased by 51\% (p < 0.05).
Within 60 days after implantation, the values of these indices showed a
decreasing tendency. The fact mentioned above denotes that their
osteoregenerative action increases under the influence of implanted
materials.},

Title = {A 3-Dimensional Approach for Analysis in Orthognathic Surgery-Using Free
Software for Voxel-Based Alignment and Semiautomatic Measurement},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {76},
Number = {6},
Pages = {1316-1326},
Month = {JUN},
Abstract = {Purpose: In orthognathic surgery, the repeatability of 3-dimensional
(3D) measurements is limited by the need for manual reidentification of
reference points, which can incorporate errors greater than 1 mm for
every 4 repeated measurements. This report describes a semiautomatic
approach to decrease the manual reidentification error. This study
evaluated the repeatability of surgical outcome measurements using the
semiautomatic approach. Furthermore, a step-by-step guide is provided to
enable researchers and clinicians to perform the 3D analysis by
themselves.
Materials and Methods: Evaluating surgical outcome consists of 2 parts.
First, the scans are aligned at the anterior cranial base. Second, a
semiautomatic approach is used to place 3 dental reference points at
exactly the same sites of the pre-and postoperative maxilla. Because the
maxilla is repositioned during surgery but otherwise unaltered, the
reference points should be identical if the pre-and postoperative scans
are aligned at the maxilla. Therefore, the authors propose the insertion
of reference points on the preoperative scan and then repositioning a
copy of the preoperative reference points relative to the postoperative
scan. To align the reference points on the postoperative scan, the hard
palate is used as a mutual maxillary reference structure. A
reproducibility test was performed in 10 participants by analyzing the
difference between repeated measurements.
Results: Repeated linear measurements differed by less than 0.1 mm along
all 3 axes (standard deviations, < 0.1 mm). The 2 largest differences
between repeated measurements were 0.33 mm along the superoinferior axis
and 0.29 along the anteroposterior axis. Repeated rotational
measurements differed by less than 0.1 degrees around all 3 axes
(standard deviations, <= 0.1 degrees).
Conclusion: The semiautomatic approach showed excellent linear and
angular repeatability. The algorithm can be implemented in the clinical
evaluation of orthognathic surgical outcome and postoperative relapse.

Title = {On the Relationship Between the Developer's Perceptible Race and
Ethnicity and the Evaluation of Contributions in OSS},
Journal = {IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {48},
Number = {8},
Pages = {2955-2968},
Month = {AUG 1},
Abstract = {Context: Open Source Software (OSS) projects are typically the result of
collective efforts performed by developers with different backgrounds.
Although the quality of developers' contributions should be the only
factor influencing the evaluation of the contributions to OSS projects,
recent studies have shown that diversity issues are correlated with the
acceptance or rejection of developers' contributions. Objective: This
paper assists this emerging state-of-the-art body on diversity research
with the first empirical study that analyzes how developers' perceptible
race and ethnicity relates to the evaluation of the contributions in
OSS. We also want to create awareness of the racial and ethnic diversity
in OSS projects. Methodology: We performed a large-scale quantitative
study of OSS projects in GitHub. We extracted the developers'
perceptible race and ethnicity from their names in GitHub using the
Name-Prism tool and applied regression modeling of contributions (i.e,
pull requests) data from GHTorrent and GitHub. Results: We observed that
(1) among the developers whose perceptible race and ethnicity was
captured by the tool, only 16.56 percent were perceptible as Non-White
developers; (2) contributions from perceptible White developers have
about 6-10 percent higher odds of being accepted when compared to
contributions from perceptible Non-White developers; and (3) submitters
with perceptible non-white races and ethnicities are more likely to get
their pull requests accepted when the integrator is estimated to be from
their same race and ethnicity rather than when the integrator is
estimated to be White. Conclusion: Our initial analysis shows a low
number of Non-White developers participating in OSS. Furthermore, the
results from our regression analysis lead us to believe that there may
exist differences between the evaluation of the contributions from
different perceptible races and ethnicities. Thus, our findings
reinforce the need for further studies on racial and ethnic diversity in
software engineering to foster healthier OSS communities.},

Levels at High Temperature - Pork Floss as a Case Study},
Journal = {FOOD ANALYTICAL METHODS},
Year = {2024},
Month = {2024 DEC 23},
Abstract = {Pork floss is a common dried meat product in Asia. The endpoint of the
baking process is traditionally determined by subjective human experts
and indirect temperature measurements, which can often result in
unstandardized production. Current colorimeters are unavailable for
onsite measurement due to limitations associated with contact
measurement and environmental temperature. Instead of the abovementioned
human experts and tabletop colorimeters, a handheld colorimeter was
built based on the expertise of human specialists and utilizing a
tabletop colorimeter and other optical steps. First, the selected
samples were used to determine the upper and lower limits distinguishing
light, medium, and heavy baking levels by using a tabletop colorimeter.
Second, independent light sources and spectrometers were utilized to
choose the characteristic and reference wavelengths at 450 and 830 nm,
separately. Third, the handheld colorimeter, instead of human expert
observation, was designed with functions such as distance sensing and
Internet of Things capabilities. The baked index was derived from the
calibration reflection and established statistical models. Here, the
calibration reflection was defined by the normalized intensity at 450 nm
relative to 830 nm, and statistical models were founded from the
determined samples of upper and lower limits at 95-700 mm. The developed
handheld colorimeter demonstrated high agreement rates of 96.84\% and
93.86\% in separate comparisons with tabletop colorimeters and human
experts, respectively. This work indicated the accurate and stable
recognition of samples within two limits and overall. Field validation
confirmed the performance of remote, economic, and onsite recognition
against environmental temperature and noise.},

Abstract = {The anorganic bovine bone grafting materials have been widely used to
fill bone defects in periodontal and maxillofacial surgery. The purpose
of present study was to fully characterize our anorganic bone, InterOss
(R), by physical and chemical methods and to compare it with another
anorganic bone, Bio-Oss (R) that has been commercially distributed in
dental bone graft substitute market since 1995. InterOss (R) anorganic
bone had been successfully prepared by chemical treatment (NaOH and
H2O2) and low temperature (350 degrees C) annealing process with an
extremely low heating rate (<0.3 degrees C min(-1)). Commercially
available Bio-Oss (R) anorganic bone was chosen for comparison. The
physical and chemical analysis indicated that the pore structure,
microstructure, phase structure, and chemical composition of InterOss
(R) is substantially equivalent to that of Bio-Oss (R). The BET analysis
also showed that the inner surface area of InterOss (R) is comparatively
higher than that of Bio-Oss (R). Specially, the protein analysis showed
that the content of residual protein of InterOss (R) is relatively lower
than that of Bio-Oss (R). Based on an equivalency to Bio-Oss (R) in
terms of physical and chemical characterization with both higher inner
surface area and lower residual protein content, the InterOss (R) can be
a promising candidate as dental bone grafting material in periodontal
and maxillofacial surgery. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

Population},
Journal = {ORAL HEALTH \& PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY},
Year = {2010},
Volume = {8},

Abstract = {Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the
recommendations relating to the use of approximal cleaning aids given by
dental hygienists and dentists, the self-care practices in a Swedish
population and the ability to remove dental plaque.
Materials and Methods: A structured questionnaire was randomly
distributed to 500 dental hygienists and 500 dentists and a similar
questionnaire was distributed to 1000 randomly selected individuals,
divided equally into the following age groups: 15 to 20, 21 to 40, 41 to
60 and > 60 years. A clinical examination evaluating the ability to
remove approximal dental plaque was also carried out in a total of 60
regular users of approximal cleaning aids. Plaque was scored before and
after cleaning with a toothpick, dental floss or an interdental brush.
Results: The response rate was 82\%, 79\% and 68\% for the three groups.
The results reveal that dental hygienists give more detailed information
about a majority of the aspects that are related to the use of
approximal cleaning aids compared with dentists (P < 0.01 or P < 0.001).
The majority of the dental staff give recommendations to children and
adolescents firstly to prevent dental caries and to older individuals to
improve periodontal health. The use of different approximal cleaning
aids on a daily basis varied with respect to age group (2\% to 42\%);
dental floss dominated in the younger age groups and interdental brushes
in the two oldest groups. In the clinical study, the largest plaque
reduction was produced by the interdental brush (83\%), followed by
toothpicks (74\%) and dental floss (73\%).
Conclusions: The present study indicated the importance of individual
recommendations related to the use of approximal cleaning aids.},

surface of fish floss (FF) to extend its shelf life during storage. The
antioxidant tea polyphenol (TPP) was embedded into W/O microemulsion,
which was further encapsulated into multiple emulsion (Multi-E) together
with functional soluble dietary fiber (SDF). The physicochemical
properties indicated that the nanoemulsion-based edible film (NEF)
improved the morphology of FF and reduced the crystallinity of the film
by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The
water vapor permeability increased gradually and rose to only 0.99\%
after 5 h, resulting in the water activity of FF at a low level (<=
0.51) during the storage period. The TPP inside was released at a
constant rate (<= 18.10\%) on the surface, and such a rate was
accelerated in the simulated gastrointestinal environment, especially in
intestine reaching 60.12\% after 5 h of digestion. Besides, the effect
of NEF on the flavor was also evaluated and the contents of ketones,
phenols, and pyrazines increased, which displayed a regulating effect on
the overall flavor of FF by blocking the external moisture and
suppressing the microorganism activity. In summary, the NEF effectively
enhanced the flavor and taste of FF, controlled the release of TPP, and
reduced the water activity during the storage, thereby extending the
shelf life.},

Abstract = {The overwhelming basicity of all analysed surfaces strongly dependent on
the choice of liquid triplet used for contact angle measurements and the
negative values sometimes obtained for the square roots of the acid-base
parameters can be summarized as the main problems arising from the
application of the Good-van Oss-Chaudhury (GvOC) theory to the
calculation of Lewis acid-base properties of polymer surfaces from
contact angle data. This paper tries to account for these problems,
namely: (1) the Lewis base, or electron donor component, is much greater
than the Lewis acid or electron-acceptor component because of the
reference values for water chosen in the original GvOC theory. A direct
comparison of the acidic component with the basic one of the same
materials has no meaning. A new reference scale for water which is able
to overcome this problem is suggested. For the calculation of acid-base
components, a best-fit approach is proposed which does not require any
starting information about the liquids or polymers and can yield
estimates of the acid-base parameters for both the liquids and the
polymers involved; (2) the strong dependence of the value of the
acid-base components on the three liquids employed is due to
ill-conditioning of the related set of equations, an intrinsic and
purely mathematical feature which cannot be completely cured by any
realistic improvement in experimental accuracy. To reduce or eliminate
the effect, one only needs a proper set of liquids, representative of
all kinds of different solvents: (3) the negative coefficients appear as
a simple consequence of measurement uncertainty, combined with the
possible ill-conditioning of the equation set. We cannot exclude,
however, that in some cases they could have a different origin.},

Title = {Effectiveness of dental floss in the management of gingival health: A
6-month follow-up of a randomized controlled clinical trial},
Journal = {CLINICAL ORAL INVESTIGATIONS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {28},

Month = {MAY 16},
Abstract = {Objectives To evaluate, (i) if subjects submitted to a structured oral
hygiene training program (OHt) maintain adopted habits over 180 days
without professional guidance; and (ii) in perspective whether flossing
provides additional benefits to toothbrushing on gingival health.
Materials and methods Seventy-five adult subjects showing approximately
40\% proximal gingival bleeding were randomized to receive OHt (1
session weekly over 8 weeks) using toothbrush and dental floss or
toothbrush alone. The subjects were then followed over 180 days without
professional guidance. Primary outcomes were mean interproximal Gingival
Index (GI) and GI = 2 (gingival bleeding). Mixed linear models were used
for the comparison between groups (p < 0.05). Results68 subjects
received OHt, 48 subjects completed the 180-day follow-up. Subjects
maintained adequate oral hygiene routines. Besides a reduction in
gingival inflammation, no alterations in gingival status were observed
among groups, subjects additionally instructed to use dental floss
showing a mean interproximal GI = 2 of 12.8 +/- 2.5 compared with 19.8
+/- 2.2 for subjects limited to tooth brushing alone. Conclusions OHt
intensive training promotes gingival health and maintenance lasting at
least 6 months without professional supervision reinforcing important
principles: (i) dental health professionals should dedicate time
training and motivating their patients to reach adequate self-performed
plaque control; and (ii) the adjunctive use of dental floss appears
essential to reduce interproximal gingival inflammation in subjects with
intact interdental papillae. Clinical relevance Dentists need to invest
time in training/motivating/engage their patients to achieve adequate
OH; adjunct flossing in subjects with papilla filling the interdental
space appears essential to reach and maintain gingival health.

Abstract = {With ongoing global climate change and an increasingly urbanized
population, the importance of city parks and other forms of urban
vegetation increases. Trees in urban parks can play an important role in
mitigating runoff and delivering other ecosystem services. Park
managers, E-NGOs, citizen scientists and others are increasingly called
upon to evaluate the possible consequences of changes in park management
such as, e.g., tree removal. Here, we present an unorthodox approach to
hydrological modelling and its potential use in local policy making
regarding urban greenery. The approach consists of a minimalist field
campaign to characterize vegetation and soil moisture status combined
with a novel model calibration using freely available data and software.
During modelling, we were able to obtain coefficients of determination
(R-2) of 0.66 and 0.73 for probe-measured and simulated soil moisture
under tree stand and park lawn land covers respectively. The results
demonstrated that tree cover had a significant positive effect on the
hydrological regime of the locality through interception, transpiration
and effects on soil moisture. Simulations suggested that tree cover was
twice as effective at mitigating runoff than park lawn and almost seven
times better than impervious surfaces. In the case of a potential
replacement of tree vegetation in favour of park lawn or impervious
surfaces an increase in runoff of 14\% and 81\% respectively could be
expected. The main conclusion drawn from our study was that such an
approach can be a very useful tool for supporting local decision-making
processes as it offers a freely available, cheap and relatively
easy-to-use way to describe the hydrological consequences of landcover
change (e.g., tree removal) with sufficient accuracy. (C) 2018 The

Abstract = {Thermodynamic acidity constants (acid or acid-base dissociation
constants, sometimes called also as ionization constants) and limiting
ionic mobilities (both of them at defined temperature, usually 25
degrees C) are the fundamental physicochemical characteristics of a weak
electrolyte, that is, weak acid or weak base or ampholyte. We introduce
a novel method for determining the data of a weak electrolyte by the
nonlinear regression of effective electrophoretic mobility versus buffer
composition dependence when measured in a set of BGEs with various pH.
To correct the experimental data for zero ionic strength we use the
extended Debye-Huckel model and Onsager-Fuoss law with no
simplifications. Contrary to contemporary approaches, the nonlinear
regression is performed on limiting mobility data calculated by
PeakMaster's correction engine, not on the raw experimental mobility
data. Therefore, there is no requirement to perform all measurements at
a constant ionic strength of the set of BGEs. We devised the computer
program AnglerFish that performs the necessary calculations in a
user-friendly fashion. All thermodynamic pKa values and limiting
electrophoretic mobilities for arbitrarily charged substances having any
number of ionic forms are calculated by one fit. The user input consists
of the buffer composition of the set of BGEs and experimentally measured
effective mobilities of the inspected weak electrolyte.},

Abstract = {Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-flight (MALDI-ToF)
MS is a popular method to analyze glycans released from proteins, cell
lines, and tissue samples. Chemical modification of glycans
(derivatization) can enhance ionization, enable semi-quantitation, and
assist in linkage identification. However, the mass changes incurred by
novel and more recently developed derivatizations are not accommodated
by most spectral assignment programs, necessitating manual assignment
which increases both the difficultly and the likelihood of error.
AssignMALDI is a software tool designed to create glycan databases with
customized derivatizations (labels) and automatically assign glycan
masses in MALDI-TOF spectra using the new database. It can also average
peak intensities across multiple spectra and prepare publication-ready
assignment tables. To make it easy to use with different platforms, all
input files and most output files are in text format. An interactive
display enables users to inspect and edit peak assignments prior to
producing charts and tables for publication. The program is freely
available through GitHUB and Python-savvy users can add or adjust
features as needed.},

Abstract = {The APEX software predicts the photochemical transformation kinetics of

rate constants with transient species, namely (OH)-O-center dot,
CO3-center dot, O-1(2) and the triplet states of chromophoric dissolved
organic matter, (CDOM)-C-3{*}), water chemistry (nitrate, nitrite,
bicarbonate, carbonate, bromide and dissolved organic carbon, DOC), and
water depth (more specifically, the optical path length of sunlight in
water). It applies to well-mixed surface water layers, including the
epilimnion of stratified lakes, and the output data are average values
over the considered water column. Based on intermediate formation yields
from the parent compound via the different photochemical pathways, the
software can also predict intermediate formation kinetics and overall
yield. APEX is based on a photochemical model that has been validated
against available field data of pollutant phototransformation, with good
agreement between model predictions and field results. The APEX software
makes allowance for different levels of knowledge of a photochemical
system. For instance, the absorption spectrum of surface water can be
used if known, or otherwise it can be modelled from the values of DOC.
Also the direct photolysis quantum yield can be entered as a detailed
wavelength trend, as a single value (constant or average), or it can be
defined as a variable if unknown. APEX is based on the free software
Octave. Additional applications are provided within APEX to assess the
sigma-level uncertainty of the results and the seasonal trend of
photochemical processes.},

reports from vertical chin augmentation to pseudoarthrosis treatment},
Journal = {FRONTIERS OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL MEDICINE},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {5},
Month = {SEP 10},
Abstract = {Background: The evolution of maxillofacial surgery is clear. With
advances in digital planning, surgical techniques, orthognathic surgery
becomes increasingly safe, however, still a physiological factor that
challenges the surgeon: bone repair. The success of orthognathic
surgeries, in addition to planning and correct execution, depends on the
repair process and for that it is essential to maintain stability
between the bone bases, which becomes a challenge in large movements.
The use of biomaterials in orthognathic surgeries is not recent, in the
70s they were already used as a way to promote stability of movements
and over time, biomaterials are being improved also to accelerate the
process of bone repair, decreasing the chances of pseudoarthrosis and
non-union. Bio-Oss (R) Collagen is a combination of purified cancellous
natural bone mineral granules (Bio-Oss (R)) and 10\% collagen fibres in
a block form and is sterilized by gamma-irradiation. The collagen
facilitates handling of the graft particles and acts to hold the Bio-Oss
(R) Collagen at the desired place. The consistency of this material
readily allows it to take the shape of the defect. Case Description: We
herein reported two cases that used autogenous and Bio-Oss (R) Collagen
in orthognathic surgeries to chin augmentation and pseudoarthrosis
treatment after orthognathic surgery; and discussed their advantages and
indications. Conclusions: Both cases demonstrate that, the use of
osteotomy techniques and adequate osteosynthesis, associated with the
grafts can minimize complications and promote less morbidity in the
surgical procedure.},

Journal = {JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE},

Month = {NOV},
Abstract = {Since the appearance of the C programming language and later C++, a
plethora of libraries have been developed in both languages.
Unfortunately, discovering such Open Source Software (OSS) components
efficiently is not always an easy task. Nonetheless, recent advancements
in OSS technologies present an opportunity to improve the status quo. In
this paper, we introduce a prototype framework, which utilizes the Rust
and JavaScript programming languages, as well as their respective
ecosystems, alongside the WebAssembly state-of-the-art Web standard, for
achieving boosted exposure for hard-to-find C/C++ OSS components, by
taking advantage of their package discovery and delivery channels. By
demonstrating how this system works, we show that this methodology is
capable of increasing the exposure of such libraries, and providing a
modernized stage for further development and maintenance. Provided
metrics exhibit a more than twofold increase in downloads for a
re-packaged library, superior discoverability compared to standard
public OSS code repositories, as well as evidence that Web browser
vendors invest heavily in optimizing the underlying runtime. (C) 2019

Title = {REGOMA-OSS: a large, Italian, multicenter, prospective, observational
study evaluating the efficacy and safety of regorafenib in patients with
recurrent glioblastoma},
Journal = {ESMO OPEN},
Year = {2024},

Month = {APR},
Abstract = {Background: In the randomized phase II REGOMA trial, regorafenib showed
promising activity in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. We conducted
a large, multicenter, prospective, observational study to confirm the
REGOMA data in a real-world setting. Patients and methods: The major
inclusion criteria were histologically confirmed diagnosis of
glioblastoma according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2016
classification and relapse after radiotherapy with concurrent/adjuvant
temozolomide treatment, good performance status {[}Eastern Cooperative
Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS 0-1)] and good liver
function. Regorafenib was administered at the standard dose of 160
mg/day for 3 weeks on/1 week off. Brain magnetic resonance imaging was
carried out within 14 days before starting regorafenib and every 8-12
weeks. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). The secondary
endpoints were progression -free survival (PFS), objective response
rate, disease control rate (DCR), safety and health-related quality of
life. The Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria were
used for response evaluation and Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse
Events (CTCAE) version 5 for assessment of adverse events (AEs).
Results: From September 2020 to October 2022, 190 patients with
recurrent glioblastoma were enrolled from 30 cancer centers in Italy:
their median age was 58.5 years {[}interquartile range (IQR) 53-67
years], 68\% were male and 85 (44.7\%) were in optimal clinical
condition (ECOG PS 0). The number of patients taking steroids at
baseline was 113 (60\%); the second surgery was carried out in 39
(20.5\%). O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) was methylated
in 80 patients (50.3\%) and 147 (92.4\%) of the patients analyzed had
isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild type. The median follow-up period
was 20 months (IQR 15.6-25.5 months). The median OS was 7.9 months
({[}95\% confidence interval (CI) 6.5-9.2 months] and the median PFS was
2.6 months (95\% CI 2.3-2.9 months). Radiological response was partial
response and stable disease in 13 (7.3\%) and 26 (14.6\%) patients,
respectively, with a DCR of 21.9\%. The median number of regorafenib
cycles per patient was 3 (IQR 2.0-4.0). Grade 3-4 drug-related adverse
events were reported in 22.6\% of patients. A dose reduction due to AEs
was required in 36\% of patients. No deaths were considered as
treatment-related AEs. Conclusions: This large, real -world
observational study showed similar OS with better tolerability of
regorafenib in patients with relapsed glioblastoma compared with the
REGOMA study.},

Title = {Attributes of Bio-Oss® and Moa-Bone® graft
materials in a pilot study using the sheep maxillary sinus model},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF PERIODONTAL RESEARCH},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {53},
Number = {1},
Pages = {80-90},
Month = {FEB},
Abstract = {Background and ObjectiveThe aim of this pilot study was to characterize
surface morphology and to evaluate resorption and osseous healing of two
deproteinated bovine bone graft materials after sinus grafting in a
large animal model.
Material and MethodsSurfaces of a novel particulate bovine bone graft,
Moa-Bone((R)) were compared with Bio-Oss((R)) using scanning electron
microscopy. Six sheep then had maxillary sinus grafting bilaterally,
covered with BioGide((R)). Grafted maxillae were harvested after 4, 6
and 12weeks. Healing was described for half of each site using
resin-embedded ground sections. For the other half, paraffin-embedded
sections were examined using tartrate resistant acid phosphatase
staining for osteoclast activity, runt-related transcription factor2
immunohistochemistry for pre-osteoblasts and osteoblasts and
proliferating cell nuclear antigen for proliferative cells.
ResultsMoa-Bone((R)) had a smoother, more porous fibrous structure with
minimal globular particles compared with Bio-Oss((R)). After 4weeks,
woven bone formed on both grafts and the Moa-Bone((R)) particles also
showed signs of resorption. After 12weeks, Moa-Bone((R)) continued to be
resorbed, however Bio-Oss((R)) did not; both grafts were surrounded by
maturing lamellar bone. Moa-Bone((R)) was associated with earlier
evidence of runt-related transcription factor 2-positive cells.
Moa-Bone((R)) but not Bio-Oss((R)) was associated with strong tartrate
resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclasts on the graft surface
within resorption lacunae at both 4 and 6weeks post-grafting.
ConclusionBoth materials supported osseous healing and maturation
without inflammation. Moa-Bone((R)) showed marked osteoclast activity
after 4 and 6weeks and demonstrated positive attributes for grafting, if
complete remodeling of the graft within the site is desired. Further
optimization of Moa-Bone((R)) for maxillofacial applications is
warranted.},

Title = {A novel method for signal labeling and precise location in a variable
parameter milling process based on the stacked-BiLSTM-CRF and FLOSS},
Journal = {ADVANCED ENGINEERING INFORMATICS},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {55},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {Unlabeled time series signals collected during manufacturing typically
have low value density and must be labeled and intercepted according to
the specific application scenario. During variable-parameter milling,
particularly high-precision machining, machining parameters vary, and
associated discrepancies in vibration signals are small. In this
scenario, signal features that are extracted by hand or via deep
learning methods cannot typically distinguish machining states via
classification models. To solve this problem, a sequence labeling model
developed using a stacked bidirectional long short-term memory network
with a conditional random field layer (stacked-BiLSTM-CRF) is proposed
in this study to automatically label and intercept vibration signals.
The stacked BiLSTM receives the shallow features obtained by the
short-time Fourier transform of the vibration signals and then outputs
the extracted deep features to capture the before and after dependence
of the signals. The stacked BiLSTM is then extended by stacking a CRF
layer to explicitly model the dependence of signal labels. In a more
accurate labeling scenario, the fast low-cost online semantic
segmentation algorithm (FLOSS) is used to acquire more fine-grained
signal boundary locations after obtaining the frame-level signal label
using the stacked BiLSTM-CRF model. In addition, to evaluate model
performance, a novel evaluation index for signal labeling is proposed.
The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified
using the vibration signals collected from variable parameter cutting
experiments, and results show that the proposed model achieves the best
labeling performance of tested methods in nearly all scenarios.},

Eliot's The Mill on the Floss and Olive
Schreiner's Undine and From Man to Man},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF VICTORIAN CULTURE},
Year = {2009},
Volume = {14},
Number = {1},
Pages = {26-52},
Abstract = {This paper brings together two related areas of debate in the latter
half of the nineteenth century. The first concerns how the courtship
plot of the nineteenth-century novel responded to, and helped to shape,
scientific ideas of sexual competition and selection. In The Mill on the
Floss (1860), George Eliot strikingly prefigures Darwin's later work on
sexual selection, drawing from her own extensive knowledge of the wider
debates within which evolutionary theory developed. Maggie Tulliver's
characterisation allows Eliot to explore the ethical complexities raised
by an increasingly powerful scientific naturalism, where biology is seen
to be embedded within morality in newly specific ways. The second strand
of the paper examines the extension of scientific method to human mind
and motivation which constituted the new psychology. It argues that
there are crucial continuities of long-established ethical and religious
ideas within this increasingly naturalistic view of human mind and
motivation. The contention that such ideas persist and are transformed,
rather than simply jettisoned, is illustrated through the example of
Thomas Henry Huxley's 1874 essay on automata. Turning finally to focus
on Olive Schreiner's Undine (1929) and From Man to Man (1926), the paper
explores the importance of these persistent ethical and religious ideas
in two novels which remained unpublished during her lifetime. It argues
that they produce both difficulty and opportunity for imagining love
plots within the context of increasingly assertive biological and
naturalistic accounts of human beings.},

Abstract = {The value of using the xenogeneic bone substitute Bio-Oss (R) and a
collagen membrane for guided bone regeneration (GBR) was evaluated.
Five-millimeter bone defects were created in the cranial bones of 15,
15-week-old, male Sprague-Dawley rats, five of which were left unfilled
(Group A), five were filled with Bio-Oss (R) (Group B), and five were
filled with Bio-Oss (R) and a collagen membrane (Group C). They were
evaluated by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) Weeks 8 after bone
defect creation. The animals were euthanized in Week 8, and tissue
samples were taken. The sampled tissue was evaluated by the Kawamoto
technique for preparing nondecalcified frozen sections. On micro-CT,
radiopacities in the bone defects were evident in Groups B and C, but
not in Group A. The amount of radiopacity tended to be greater in Group
C than in Group B. Histologically, no new bone formation was observed in
Group A. In Groups B and C, new bone formation around the Bio-Oss (R)
was apparent and some osteoblastic cells were observed along the new
bone. The Bio-Oss (R) was not absorbed up to Week 8, suggesting that it
may be a potential bone regeneration scaffold. The combined use of a
collagen membrane anchored the Bio-Oss (R) in close contact with the
cranial bone, suggesting that it may help create a favorable environment
for bone formation. The combination of Bio-Oss (R) and a collagen
membrane in GBR may be useful for bone defect regeneration.},

Activity and Predict the Potential Mechanism of Action of
Pyrrolizine-Based Schiff Bases},
Journal = {MOLECULES},
Year = {2021},

Month = {JUL},
Abstract = {In the current study, a simple in silico approach using free software
was used with the experimental studies to optimize the antiproliferative
activity and predict the potential mechanism of action of
pyrrolizine-based Schiff bases. A compound library of 288 Schiff bases
was designed based on compound 10, and a pharmacophore search was
performed. Structural analysis of the top scoring hits and a docking
study were used to select the best derivatives for the synthesis.
Chemical synthesis and structural elucidation of compounds 16a-h were
discussed. The antiproliferative activity of 16a-h was evaluated against
three cancer (MCF7, A2780 and HT29, IC50 = 0.01-40.50 mu M) and one
normal MRC5 (IC50 = 1.27-24.06 mu M) cell lines using the MTT assay. The
results revealed the highest antiproliferative activity against MCF7
cells for 16g (IC50 = 0.01 mu M) with an exceptionally high selectivity
index of (SI = 578). Cell cycle analysis of MCF7 cells treated with
compound 16g revealed a cell cycle arrest at the G(2)/M phase. In
addition, compound 16g induced a dose-dependent increase in apoptotic
events in MCF7 cells compared to the control. In silico target
prediction of compound 16g showed six potential targets that could
mediate these activities. Molecular docking analysis of compound 16g
revealed high binding affinities toward COX-2, MAP P38 alpha, EGFR, and
CDK2. The results of the MD simulation revealed low RMSD values and high
negative binding free energies for the two complexes formed between
compound 16g with EGFR, and CDK2, while COX-2 was in the third order.
These results highlighted a great potentiality for 16g to inhibit both
CDK2 and EGFR. Taken together, the results mentioned above highlighted
compound 16g as a potential anticancer agent.},

Abstract = {This study evaluated biological compatibility and antibacterial activity
of a bone substitute material consisting of silver-doped hydroxyapatite
(AgHA) and Bio-Oss((R)) with different mixture ratios in vitro and
investigated its antibacterial mechanism. AgHA was synthesized by a
chemical precipitation method. After characterization, AgHA was mixed
with Bio-Oss((R)) at three ratios: 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4 by weight. Then,
Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) were used
to test the antibacterial activity of the mixture. Human periodontal
ligament fibroblasts and rat bone marrow stromal cells were selected for
cytocompatibility experiments. According to results, the peak value of
the size of the AgHA was concentrated in the 100-200 nm range, and AgHA
particles consisted of short rods. It was confirmed that the structure
of AgHA was similar to that of standard hydroxyapatite. All three
mixture ratios exhibited obvious antimicrobial properties, which
increased with increasing AgHA. According to the effects on the
expression of bacterial virulence genes, groups 1:1 and 1:2 both
negatively affected Pg and Fn more significantly than group 1:4.
Cytotoxicity experiments showed that 1:1 caused little cytotoxicity,
while groups 1:2 and 1:4 exerted no significant cytotoxicity.
Considering its biological compatibility and antibacterial activity,
group 1:2 is the most recommended. (c) 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J

Abstract = {Nowadays digital maps are a basic tool for decision making. Map making
is not an objective process, organizations, institutions and big tech
companies reproduce their own interests and biases in the map. Open
Street Map (OSM) is a repository containing open geospatial data
contributed by millions of people around the globe. With OSM data is
possible to create maps that don't reproduce interests of a few, and
also, by being open source, it allows auditing on how a decision was
made. Although OSM is a free participation platform, it has some
socio-technical characteristics that make it difficult for volunteers to
participate in geospatial data capture and editing processes. This paper
offers a functional prototype developed as free software to counteract
these difficulties.},

Title = {Validation of two complementary oral-health related quality of life
indicators (OIDP and OSS 0-10) in two qualitatively distinct samples of
the Spanish population},
Journal = {HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE OUTCOMES},
Year = {2008},

Abstract = {Background: Oral health-related quality of life can be assessed
positively, by measuring satisfaction with mouth, or negatively, by
measuring oral impact on the performance of daily activities. The study
objective was to validate two complementary indicators, i.e., the OIDP
(Oral Impacts on Daily Performances) and Oral Satisfaction 0-10 Scale
(OSS), in two qualitatively different socio-demographic samples of the
Spanish adult population, and to analyse the factors affecting both
perspectives of well-being.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed, recruiting a Validation
Sample from randomly selected Health Centres in Granada (Spain),
representing the general population (n = 253), and a Working Sample (n =
561) randomly selected from active Regional Government staff, i. e.,
representing the more privileged end of the socio-demographic spectrum
of this reference population. All participants were examined according
to WHO methodology and completed an inperson interview on their oral
impacts and oral satisfaction using the OIDP and OSS 0-10 respectively.
The reliability and validity of the two indicators were assessed. An
alternative method of describing the causes of oral impacts is
presented.
Results: The reliability coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) of the OIDP was
above the recommended 0.7 threshold in both Validation and Occupational
samples (0.79 and 0.71 respectively). Test-retest analysis confirmed the
external reliability of the OSS (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient,
0.89; p < 0.001) Some subjective factors (perceived need for dental
treatment, complaints about mouth and intermediate impacts) were
strongly associated with both indicators, supporting their construct and
criterion validity. The main cause of oral impact was dental pain.
Several socio-demographic, behavioural and clinical variables were
identified as modulating factors.
Conclusion: OIDP and OSS are valid and reliable subjective measures of
oral impacts and oral satisfaction, respectively, in an adult Spanish
population. Exploring simultaneously these issues may provide useful
insights into how satisfaction and impact on well-being are constructed.},

mGlu5: Discovery of a New Tool Compound with Activity in the
OSS Mouse Model of Addiction},

Abstract = {Glutamate is the major excitatory transmitter in the mammalian central
nervous system (CNS), exerting its effects through both ionotropic and
metabotropic glutamate am receptors. The metabotropic glutamate
receptors (mGlus) belong to family C of the G-protein-coupled receptors
(GPCRs). The eight mGlus identified to date are classified into three
groups based on their structure, preferred signal transduction
mechanisms, and pharmacology (group I: mGlu(1) and mGlus; group II:
mGlu(2) and mGlu(3); group III: mGlu(4), mGlu(6), mGlu(7), and mGlu(8)).
Noncompetitive antagonists, also known as negative allosteric modulators
(NAMs), of mGlus offer potential therapeutic applications in diseases
such as pain, anxiety, gastresophageal reflux disease (GERD),
Parkinson's disease (PD), fragile X syndrome, and addiction. The
development of structure activity relationships (SAR) in a
(3-cyano-5-fluorophenyl)biaryl series using our functional cell-based
assay is described in this communication. Further characterization of a
selected compound,
3-fluoro-(5-(2-methylbenzo{[}d]thiazol-5-yl)benzonitrile, in additional
cell based assays as well as in vitro assays designed to measure its
metabolic stability and protein binding indicated its potential utility
as an in vivo tool. Subsequent evaluation of the same compound in a
pharmacokinetic study using intraperitoneal dosing in mice showed good
exposure in both plasma and brain samples. The compound was efficacious
in a mouse marble burying model of anxiety, an assay known to be
sensitive to mGlus antagonists. A new operant model of addiction termed
operant sensation seeking (OSS) was chosen as a second behavioral assay.
The compound also proved efficacious in the OSS model and constitutes
the first reported example of efficacy with a small molecule mGlu(5) NAM
in this novel assay.},

Abstract = {Thermochemical processes to convert bio-wastes into valuable products
and bioenergy have been extensively studied in the literature.
Experimental and, to a lesser extent, rigorous simulation papers
concerning these processes have been widely considered and discussed in
the literature. Nonetheless, there is still a gap to fill in providing a
fast and reliable simulation scheme. In this paper, an efficient
simulation strategy, combining the free-software COCO simulator for the
bio-waste slow pyrolysis coupled with commercial SimaPro code to carry
out the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), was applied. The pyrolysis product
yields at 673, 773, and 873 K were well predicted using mass and energy
balances and a proposed reaction scheme from the literature. Simulations
were validated using experimental data previously reported. The highest
yield was 53.7\% for biochar (673 K - stalk of white grape), 32\% for
bio-oil (773 K -marc of red grape), and 56.3\% for gas (873 K -marc of
white grape). The results from LCA and cumulative exergy demand (CExD)
were useful to detect and reduce environmental impacts in previous
stages of the process.},

Title = {Association between acculturation, dental floss use, dental visits and
unmet dental needs among Asians in the United States: Findings from
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018},

Abstract = {ObjectivesThe objectives of this study were to examine the associations
between acculturation and dental floss, regular dental visits and unmet
dental care needs among Asian Americans, as well as the moderating
effects of these associations.MethodsThis study analysed national
representative samples from the National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018. A total of 2763 Asian Americans
aged 20 and older were included in this analysis. The primary predictor,
acculturation score, was determined by three questions: (i) language
spoken at home (higher score for English), (ii) country of birth (higher
score for United States) and (iii) length of time in the United States.
Dental floss use, dental visits and unmet dental care needs were
included as outcomes in this study. Descriptive statistics and logistic
regressions were used to analyse the samples.ResultsAcculturation was
significantly associated with dental health behaviours: Individuals with
higher levels of acculturation were more likely than less acculturated
individuals to use dental floss (81.0\% vs. 63.9\%, respectively) and
visit the dentist regularly (76.7\% vs. 66.9\% respectively). Insurance
status moderated the association between acculturation and dental
visits: Acculturation was significantly associated with dental visits in
the past year among insured individuals (OR = 1.70, 95\% CI: 1.29-2.23),
but not among uninsured individuals. Unmet dental care needs were
present in 11.1\% of participants. While costs and insurance were the
top two determinants of access to care, individuals with and without
insurance differed with regard to their third major reason for unmet
dental care needs: Being `too busy' and not wanting to spend money on
dental care.ConclusionsAmong the Asian population in the United States,
those with high acculturation scores were more likely to engage in
dental flossing and visit the dentist regularly compared to those Asians
with lower acculturation scores. To encourage dental flossing and
regular dental visits among Asians with lower acculturation scores,
cultural adaptation and language accessibility suggests being
considered. Future research is necessary to confirm the moderating
effect of insurance status on the association between acculturation and
regular dental visits. Additionally, our findings emphasize the impact
of costs and insurance on access to dental care among Asians in the
United States, highlighting the importance of future public health
programmes in addressing these barriers.},
