Abstract = {The growth in the number of non-developer open source software (OSS)
application users and the escalating use of these applications have both
created a need for and interest in developing usable OSS. OSS
communities are unclear about which techniques to use in each activity
of the development process. The aim of our research is to adopt the
visual brainstorming usability technique in the HistoryCal OSS project
and determine the feasibility of adapting the technique for application.
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.},

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).},

Title = {Crowding-in of complementary contributions to public goods: Firm
investment into open source software},
Journal = {JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC BEHAVIOR \& ORGANIZATION},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {106},
Pages = {78-94},
Month = {OCT},
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.},

Abstract = {This paper illustrates an evolution in state-of-the-art speaker
verification by highlighting the contribution from newly developed
techniques. Starting from a baseline system based on Gaussian mixture
models that reached state-of-the-art performances during the NIST'04
SRE, final systems with new intersession compensation techniques show a
relative gain of around 50\%. This work highlights that a key element in
recent improvements is still the classical maximum a posteriori (MAP)
adaptation, while the latest compensation methods have a crucial impact
on overall performances. Nuisance attribute projection (NAP) and factor
analysis (FA) are examined and shown to provide significant
improvements. For FA, a new symmetrical scoring (SFA) approach is
proposed. We also show further improvement with an original combination
between a support vector machine and SFA. This work is undertaken
through the open-source ALIZE toolkit.},

Abstract = {Software evolution is a fact of life. Over the past thirty years,
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 seven open source
projects. Our analysis covers 653 official releases, and a combined 69
years of evolution. We first tried to verify Lehman's laws of software
evolution. Our findings indicate that several of these laws are
confirmed, while the rest can be either confirmed or infirmed 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.},

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 seven-year period for 10 systems show that there

Title = {Empirical study of open source software selection for adoption, based on
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.},

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.

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.},

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},

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
source software development practices, especially in regard to the
quality of the resulting software product. 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, 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
structure to the socio-technical structure of a software development
team. 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. Journal of Information Technology (2010) 25, 216-229.

Abstract = {Purpose This study aims to explore the present status of open-source
institutional repository (IR) software's usage in the university
libraries of Islamabad. This study also investigates the views,
satisfaction level and challenges of librarians in the adoption and use
of IR software. Design/methodology/approach A survey was conducted to
collect data from the Library Information Science (LIS) professionals
working in the university libraries of Islamabad. Data were collected
from all library professionals of the Islamabad university libraries by
using a structured questionnaire. Out of the total 104 LIS
professionals, 84 participated in the study with a response ratio of
80.76\%. Findings The findings disclose that out of 23 universities
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.},

Volume = {85},
Number = {4},
Pages = {920-931},
Month = {APR},
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.

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},

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.},

of open source websites. The node and arc in the network structure means
the engineer and their connection among engineers in the Source Forge.
In the previous study, we found the growing process of project becomes
strong according to the number of developers joining into the project.
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
project. In this paper, we introduced the altruism behavior as shown in
the Army Ant model into the software developer's simulation model. The
efficiency of the software developing process was investigated by some
experimental simulation results.},

Abstract = {The Common Optimization INterface for Operations Research (COIN-OR,

implies that the ways in which software is developed, managed, and
distributed can have a significant impact on the field. Open source is a
relatively new software development and distribution model which offers
advantages over current practices. Its viability depends on the precise
definition of open source, on the culture of a distributed developer
community, and on a version-control system which makes distributed
development possible. In this paper, we review open-source philosophy
and culture, and present the goals and status of COIN-OR.},

Abstract = {This paper seeks to close an empirical gap regarding the motivations,
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)

Abstract = {Autonomous unmanned vehicles can perform detailed surveys of planetary
surfaces but it is imperative to establish a method for global
localization to effectively explore these areas. The absence of GPS in
extraplanetary environments prevents surface vehicles from knowing their
exact location, which raises the need for an alternative positioning
system. Traditional methods, such as visual odometry cross-referenced
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.},

in the requirements engineering (RE) practices of such communities that
are starkly different from those in traditional software development

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

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

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

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

(Global Navigation Satellite System) Precise Point Positioning (PPP)
technique, in static mode, is analyzed. Specifically, GPS (Global

quantifying the Galileo contribution is one of the main objectives. The
open source software RTKLib is adopted to process the data, with precise
satellite orbits and clocks from CNES (Centre National d'Etudes
Spatiales) and CLS (Collecte Localisation Satellites) analysis centers
for International GNSS Service (IGS). The Iono-free model is used to
correct ionospheric errors, the GOT-4.7 model is used to correct tidal
effects, and Differential Code Biases (DCB) are taken from the Deutsche
Forschungsanstalt fur Luftund Raumfahrt (DLR) center. Two different
tropospheric models are tested: Saastamoinen and Estimate ZTD (Zenith
Troposhperic Delay). For the proposed study, a dataset of 31 days from a
permanent GNSS station, placed in Palermo (Italy), and a dataset of 10
days from a static geodetic receiver, placed nearby the station, have
been collected and processed by the most used open source software in
the geomatic community. The considered GNSS configurations are seven:
GPS only, GLONASS only, Galileo only, GPS+GLONASS, GPS+Galileo,
GLONASS+Galileo, and GPS+GLONASS+Galileo. The results show significant
performance improvement of the GNSS combinations with respect to single
GNSS cases.},

Month = {JUN},
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.},

applications and is the main evolution of JADE a popular Open Source
framework for the development of interoperable intelligent multi-agent
systems. It adds to JADE the support for the execution of tasks defined
according to the workflow metaphor as well as a number of mechanisms
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},

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.},

Journal = {NINETEENTH-CENTURY LITERATURE},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {76},
Number = {2},
Pages = {192-222},
Month = {SEP},
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.},

Title = {Library professional's opinion about open source software adoption:
Status, problems and measures used in libraries of Beijing, China},
Journal = {GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE MEMORY AND COMMUNICATION},
Year = {2018},
Volume = {67},
Number = {3},
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

Abstract = {Bugs dominate the corrective maintenance and evolutionary changes in
large-scale software systems. The topic of bugs has been extensively
investigated and reported in the literature. Unfortunately, the
existential question of all ``whether a reported bug will be fixed or
not{''} has not received much attention. The paper presents an empirical
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.},

attracted the open source software community to adopt an identity in
order to disseminate project-related information to a wider audience. We
foresee the need to integrate social media channels and open source
software repositories in order to get an integrated view on the software
project not only from the software development perspective but also from
social perspective. Therefore, in this paper we study the usage of
Twitter by software developers through harvesting their project-related
activities on Twitter. In particular, we present the most commonly used
hashtags by software developers and further investigate if
project-related hashtags are the most frequent and commonly used
hashtags by software developers. Based on our findings, we argue that
relevant information from social media channels should be integrated
with the open source software repositories in order to provide a
homogeneous view on a software project.},

successful and unsuccessful projects on volume of communication by core

members. An innovation of the paper is that use of inclusive pronouns is
measured using natural language processing techniques. We find that core

their use of inclusive pronouns, and that volume of communication is
related to project success.},

characterization, population-level causal effect estimation, and
patient-level prediction, potentially across a federated data network,
allowing patient-level data to remain locally while only aggregated
statistics are shared. Designed to run across a wide array of technical
environments, including different operating systems and database
platforms, HADES uses continuous integration with a large set of unit
tests to maintain reliability. HADES implements OHDSI best practices,
and is used in almost all published OHDSI studies, including some that

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.},

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

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.},

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.},

Many discussions have been aimed to decide whether or not OSS can be

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.},

Abstract = {Although many research vehicle platforms for autonomous driving have
been built in the past, hardware design, source code and lessons learned
have not been made available for the next generation of demonstrators.
This raises the efforts for the research community to contribute results
based on real-world evaluations as engineering knowledge of building and
maintaining a research vehicle is lost. In this paper, we deliver an
analysis of our approach to transferring an open source driving stack to
a research vehicle.
We put the hardware and software setup in context to other demonstrators
and explain the criteria that led to our chosen hardware and software
design. 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.},

Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {This article presents research and development of a prototype web
application for water resources using latest advancements in Information
and Communication Technologies (Id), open source software and web GIS.
The web application has three web services for: (1) managing, presenting
and storing of geospatial data, (2) support of water resources modeling
and (3) water resources optimization. The web application is developed
using several programming languages (PhP, Ajax, JavaScript, Java),
libraries (OpenLayers, JQuery) and open source software components
(GeoServer, PostgreSQL, PostGIS). The presented web application has
several main advantages: it is available all the time, it is accessible
from everywhere, it creates a real time multi-user collaboration
platform, the programing languages code and components are interoperable
and designed to work in a distributed computer environment, it is
flexible for adding additional components and services and, it is
scalable depending on the workload. The application was successfully
tested on a case study with concurrent multi-users access. (C) 2013

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.},

Abstract = {Code reuse is fundamental to the development of open-source software
(OSS). Therefore, understanding how and why it occurs is important. To
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.},

a number of years, with governments, business firms, military and
educational organisations incorporating open source software. This paper
provides an overview on open source technology which could be adopted
for e-Business architecture for the development of e-Business
applications. Furthermore, it provides two action research case studies
on SMEs adopting open source software for the development of e-Business
capabilities. It was found the projects were successfully developed and
implemented for each case study company. Although successful, the
research team found that more research is required in open source

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

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.},

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.},

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

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

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.},

Title = {Status of JADE, an open-source software for nuclear data libraries V\&V},
Journal = {FUSION ENGINEERING AND DESIGN},
Year = {2023},
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.},

Journal = {GPS SOLUTIONS},
Year = {2021},

Month = {FEB 11},
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
remote sensing technology for monitoring snow depth. We developed the
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 = {Data science has emerged as a significant capability upon which firms
compete. 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.},

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.},

Abstract = {Although there is an abundance of literature regarding the motivations

the specific motivations and characteristics of developers participating

questionnaire included items measuring select demographic attributes;
scaled items measuring intrinsic, extrinsic, and internalized-extrinsic
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},

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

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.},

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

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

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

Abstract = {An age wave is upon us, and many tech-savvy older adults are reaching
retirement. To explore the barriers and benefits of engaging this
population, promote an active post-working life, and foster community,
we plan to involve retired programmers in the development of a free/open
source software (FOSS) health and wellness application. FOSS communities
are dominated by young male developers, and can be hostile to outsiders
despite a shared philosophical alignment of altruistic motivations often
embraced by retirees. I expect to contribute to the field by exploring
the benefits and barriers of involving older adults in FOSS communities,
as well as how they can benefit each other by collaborating to develop a
meaningful product with and for older adults.},

Abstract = {This paper describes utilizing open-source numerical simulation
software, typically used in solar photovoltaics research, as an
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.},

Abstract = {Since the development of tools for the Suite for Automated Global
Electronic bioSurveillance (SAGES) began in 2008, the SAGES team and
sponsor have envisioned the eventual release of these tools as
open-source software to the global public health and technology
communities. Open-source software allows members of the public to study,
customize, and operate their own local copies of the software and source
code, often without monetary fees. As such, releasing SAGES as
open-source software assures prospective users that they retain complete
control over the health data collected by SAGES-based systems, and
aligns well with the model of self-sustainability intended for the
operation of SAGES systems in resource-limited settings. Preparing two
SAGES tools, OpenESSENCE and SAGES Mobile, for release as open-source
software projects entailed a multifaceted, months-long effort that
spanned policy, technical, and community considerations. This article
describes the issues, trade-offs, and decisions that were addressed
leading up to the successful open-source release of OpenESSENCE and
SAGES Mobile in June 2013. The aim of this case study is to inform
future Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) and
external efforts to release open-source software.},

successful and unsuccessful projects on volume of communication and on
use of inclusive pronouns as an indication of efforts to create intimacy

pronouns is measured using natural language processing techniques. We
also compare the volume and content of communication produced by core
(committer) and peripheral members and by those peripheral members who
are later elected to be core members. We find that volume of
communication is related to project success but use of inclusive
pronouns does not distinguish successful projects. Core members exhibit
more contribution and use of inclusive pronouns than peripheral members.},

Abstract = {The emergence of cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) have
given rise to a wealth of new opportunities for integrating
heterogeneous systems and collecting massive data sets, whose analysis
may lead to new information, insight, and knowledge. Building a scalable
architecture for urban IoT environments is a complex task, primarily
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

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.},

predict their behaviors under actual operating conditions. In this
paper, the implementation of SEIG steady-state simulation is described
in a step-by-step approach. Scilab, free and open source software, is
mainly used for computational environment to solve nonlinear algebraic
equations describing behavior of the SEIG. The case studies are given to
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
both graduate and undergraduate students, and also helps in better
analysis of induction generator during steady-state operation.},

development. Therefore, software testing tools are often deployed to
automate the process in order to reduce cost and improve efficiency.
However, many of them are proprietary and expensive. Hence, open source
software testing tools could be an appealing alternative. In this paper,
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
for commercial use, customization and redistribution.},

Abstract = {This paper presents an overview of main open source software, low-cost
devices and related SDKs (Software Development Kits) that can be used to
develop custom applications based on virtual and augmented reality. At
present, the high modularity of the open source software for computer

several research and industrial fields. To this end, we introduce a
general-purpose software framework, which permits to manage the
synchronization among the SDKs of different low-cost devices. Mentioned

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.},

Abstract = {In this paper, we implement a geospatial sensor network for monitoring a
green technology stormwater runoff site. The sensor network uses
OpenWRT, an embedded Linux operating system, and other open source
software, to create a modified router for reading Maxim's 1-Wire (TM)
protocol, queuing and transferring standardized sensor data while
enabling location and time. The modified router created the bridge
between the sensor protocols and the middle-level software to provide
reliable data to both the sewer district and the Environmental
Protection Agency. Representational State Transfer (REST) is used in the
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
standardization. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

Abstract = {PyThea is a newly developed open-source Python software package that
provides tools to reconstruct coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and shocks
waves in three dimensions, using multi-spacecraft remote-sensing

software package and the web application. This package has been fully
built in Python, with extensive use of libraries available within this
language ecosystem. PyThea package provides a web application that can
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.},

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'

first version is characterized by its flexibility and non-commerciality,
and it is available without any conditions on the following website:

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

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.},

UAV for the survey, an open source photogrammetric software (MicMac) and
a set of ad hoc Python modules, to convert the coordinates of the point
cloud from a global reference frame to a local one and to estimate
volumes of interest to a roadworks site. Preliminary tests on a selected
case study demonstrated how the proposed automated procedure may greatly
improve the accuracy of calculations.},

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 = {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.},

Month = {JUN-JUL},
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
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. (C)

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.},

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

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
generate innovative and effective solutions.},

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.},

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.},

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

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.},

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.},

Title = {A tutorial and open source software for the efficient evaluation of
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,
28\% and 64\% of average accuracy.},

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.},

Journal = {SN APPLIED SCIENCES},

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
channels of communication. A review of literature shows that there is a
shortage of studies concerning connections between usage of Free/Libre

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.},

Abstract = {This study provides an analytical model to predict the fixing pattern of
issues in the open-source software (OSS) packages to assist developers
in software development and maintenance. Moreover, the continuous
evolution of software due to bugs removal, new features addition or
existing features modification results in the source code complexity.
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.},

Journal = {MANAGEMENT SCIENCE},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {67},
Number = {5},
Pages = {3041-3066},
Month = {MAY},
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.},

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.},

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.},

Abstract = {One of the aspects of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) which may act
as a significant deterrent to its adoption, is the method used to
collaboratively develop the software and provide support through the use
of communities. It is not until this method is examined more closely
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 = {Today, different actors, such as developers, supporters, companies or
public entities, contribute in different ways to non-profit open source
software projects. 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 = {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
established. In this article, we propose SCGM (Software Community Graph
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.},

Abstract = {One of the primary factors that encourage developers to contribute to
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.},

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

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

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.},

Abstract = {Environment-sensitive probes are frequently used in spectral and
multi-channel microscopy to study alterations in cell homeostasis.
However, the few open-source packages available for processing of
spectral images are limited in scope. Here, we present VISION, a
stand-alone software based on Python for spectral analysis with improved
applicability. In addition to classical intensity-based analysis, our
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
user interface for easy adoption.},

using image processing to find percentage of similarities. The sheet
cavity frequency of 7.752 Hz was obtained based on cavitation evolution

Abstract = {Characterizing ephemeral karstic wetlands through hydrological modelling
is key for sustainable protection of their ecosystems and to understand
and mitigate the impact of flooding events. UISCEmod is a new
open-source software for modelling water level time series, focused on
ephemeral karstic wetlands, that requires minimal input information.
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
ephemeral karstic wetlands with relatively limited input data
requirements.},

Particles in Biorelevant Media},
Journal = {NANOMATERIALS},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {12},
Number = {11},
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.},

Journal = {COMPUTATIONAL GEOSCIENCES},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {25},
Number = {1},
Pages = {243-265},
Month = {FEB},
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.},

Abstract = {Disease surveillance, the foundation of public health practice, is
undergoing a revolution driven by advances in information technology.
The past 15 years have seen vast improvements in the collection,

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
more efficient use of limited resources and better compliance with World
Health Organization International Health Regulations.},

Abstract = {As open source software products have evolved over time to satisfy a

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 = {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

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

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.},

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.},

Abstract = {Software engineers are able to measure the quality of their code using a
variety of metrics that can be derived directly from analyzing the
source code. These internal quality metrics are valuable to engineers,
but the organizations funding the software development effort find
external quality metrics such as defect rates and time to develop
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.},

Abstract = {At present, information security solutions and suitably trained experts
with practical experience have a key role to play. Due to the
covid-pandemic, people's tasks without physical contact came to the
fore, and remote work became more valuable. At the same time, the number
of cyber-attacks has suddenly increased, not even sparing hospitals. The
aim of this article is to present how to prepare recent security
professionals and future experts for work based on SOC implementation
and operation from on threat modeling through applying higher quality
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
helps them prepare for the optimal handling of cyber security threats
and facilitate the acquisition of in-depth information in the field of
Information Security.},

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.},

Abstract = {The inherent needs of organizations to improve and amplify their
technological platform entail large expenses with the goal to enhance
their performance. Hence, they have to contemplate mechanisms of
optimization and the improvement of their operational infrastructure. In
this direction arises the need to guarantee the correct operation and

perfectly applicable to the field of VoIP technologies, where users
generate elevated loads of work on critical points of the
infrastructure, during the process of interaction with their peers. In
this research work, we propose a solution for high availability, with
the goal of maintaining the continuity of the operation of communication
environments based on the SIP protocol in high load. We validate our
proposal through numerous experiments. Also, we compare our solution
with other classical VoIP scenarios and show the advantages of a high

Abstract = {Experimental studies in neuroscience are producing data at a rapidly
increasing rate, providing exciting opportunities and formidable
challenges to existing theoretical and modeling approaches. To turn
massive datasets into predictive quantitative frameworks, the field
needs software solutions for systematic integration of data into
realistic, multiscale models. Here we describe the Brain Modeling
ToolKit (BMTK), a software suite for building models and performing
simulations at multiple levels of resolution, from biophysically
detailed multi-compartmental, to point-neuron, to population-statistical
approaches. Leveraging the SONATA file format and existing software such
as NEURON, NEST, and others, BMTK offers a consistent user experience
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
open-source package provided as a resource supporting modeling-based
discovery in the community.},

Title = {An open-source software analysis package for Microspheres with
Ratiometric Barcode Lanthanide Encoding (MRBLEs)},
Journal = {PLOS ONE},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {14},
Number = {3},
Month = {MAR 22},
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.},

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

Abstract = {Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) is the reduction of energy
consumption resulting from a reduction of the service voltage. While
there have been numerous CVR deployments in North America, there has
been little substantive analytic analysis of the effect; the majority of
the published results are based on empirical field measurements. Due to
the lack of analytic study, it is difficult to determine the impacts of
CVR outside of sites that have conducted demonstration projects. This
panel paper will examine a framework for the analysis of CVR using the
open source software package GridLAB-D. An open source simulation
environment is used to highlight the effectiveness of open source
software programs and their ability to be used for evaluating
multi-disciplinary smart grid technologies.},

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.},

Title = {EPIq: An open-source software for the calculation of electron-phonon
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.},

Abstract = {Complex molecular mixtures are encountered in almost all research
disciplines, such as biomedical `omics, petroleomics, and environmental
sciences. State-of-the-art characterization of sample materials related
to these fields, deploying high-end instrumentation, allows for
gathering large quantities of molecular composition data. One
established technological platform is ultrahigh-resolution mass
spectrometry, e.g., Fourier-transform mass spectrometry (FT-MS).
However, the huge amounts of data acquired in FT-MS often result in
tedious data treatment and visualization. FT-MS analysis of complex
matrices can easily lead to single mass spectra with more than 10,000
attributed unique molecular formulas. Sophisticated software solutions
to conduct these treatment and visualization attempts from commercial
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).},

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.},

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

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.},

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.},

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
across and within multiple disciplines. This community faces a new and
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
software distribution. 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. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.},

Process Data Collected With Mobile Devices},
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.},

Abstract = {SLN (SYBYL Line Notation) is the most comprehensive and rich linear
notation for representation of chemical objects of various kinds
facilitating a wide range of cheminformatics algorithms. Though, it is
not the most popular linear notation nowadays, SLN has capabilities for
supporting the most challenging tasks of the present day cheminformatics
research. We present Ambit-SLN, a new software library for
cheminformatics processing of chemical objects via linear notation SLN.
Ambit-SLN is developed as a part of the cheminformatics platform AMBIT.
It is an open-source tool, distributed under LGPL license, written in
Java and based on the Chemistry Development Kit. Ambit-SLN includes a
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.},

Abstract = {This paper focuses on codes of conduct (CoC) of Free and Open Source
Software (F/OSS) and their role in improving women's participation in

websites for the presence of codes of conduct and then analyzed these
for diversity elements. 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 = {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

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

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

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 = {This work presents Source-o-grapher, a tool built with the aim to
investigate software resilience aspects of Open Source Software (OSS)
projects. The tool uses several metrics from the literature to evaluate
an OSS project on four major dimensions: structural (source code),
business and legal, integration and social (community of the project).
Many of these metrics are automatically acquired by the tool using the
Github repository of the project whereas some others are manually input
by the expert who performs the analysis.(c) 2023 The Authors. Published

Abstract = {This paper discusses factors that influence the use of the Web 2.0 and
Free Open Source Software (FOSS) to optimize eLearning. The study used
the methodology of textual analysis to determine those factors that have
been identified in related literature according to their frequency of
appearance. A set of thirty six factors, wherein each of these factors
has a frequency that is greater than a threshold of two was considered
for further analysis. The analytic structural equation modelling method
was applied to determine the importance of these factors in the
optimization of eLearning using Web 2.0 and FOSS. Results indicated that
technological factors when mediated by adoption are predominant for
influencing the use of Web 2.0 and FOSS in the optimization of
eLearning. This study serves as a cornerstone for those institutions
that would like to leverage on Web 2.0 and FOSS for eLearning.},

Journal = {JOVE-JOURNAL OF VISUALIZED EXPERIMENTS},
Year = {2021},

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 = {Federal, State and Local government agencies in the USA are investing
heavily on the dissemination of Open Data sets produced by each of them.
The main driver behind this thrust is to increase agencies' transparency

not all Open Data sets are easy to access and integrate with other Open
Data sets available even from the same agency. The City and County of
Denver Open Data Portal distributes several types of geospatial
datasets, one of them is the city parcels information containing 224,256
records. Although this data layer contains many pieces of information it
is incomplete for some custom purposes. Open-Source Software were used
to first collect data from diverse City of Denver Open Data sets, then
upload them to a repository in the Cloud where they were processed using
a PostgreSQL installation on the Cloud and Python scripts. Our method
was able to extract non-spatial information from a
`not-ready-to-download' source that could then be combined with the
initial data set to enhance its potential use.},

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.},

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 https://github.com/DaSESmartEdu/DualJE.},

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

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.},

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.},

Title = {A Study on the Field Data Applicability of Seismic Data Processing using
Open-source Software (Madagascar)},

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 = {Too often, computer science programs offer a software engineering course
that emphasizes concepts, principles, and practical techniques, but
fails to engage students in real-world software experiences. The authors
have developed an approach to teaching undergraduate software
engineering courses that integrates client-oriented project development
and open source development practice. They call this approach the
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
institutions.},

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)

Abstract = {Participatory Action Research (PAR) is an established method to
implement change in organizations. However, it cannot be applied in the
open source (FOSS) communities, without adaptation to their
particularities, especially to the specific control mechanisms developed
in FOSS. FOSS communities are self-managed, and rely on consensus to
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

Abstract = {The role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for the
Indonesian development is very important, especially in the application
of e-government to support good, clean, transparent governance, and
public service's improvement as a whole.
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
for Indonesian development; part 2 about e-government and FOSS policies;
part 3 about the implementation with some discussions on specific
condition and situation; and finally it will be closed by the
conclusion.},

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

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).},

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

modules, sound source separation modules and automatic speech
recognition modules of separated speech signals that works on any 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

Abstract = {The measurement of gene expression using fluorescence markers has been a

use of arbitrary units has limited the usefulness of these data for many

previously, but the tools are disjointed. Here we pull together, and in
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
measurement and data analysis will benefit the synthetic biology

Abstract = {This article contributes towards knowledge and understanding of the

from a need to reassess strategic spending within an academic department

most practical way of assessing the use of Linux, a completely open

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},
Year = {2015},
Volume = {42},
Number = {9},
Pages = {5453-5466},
Month = {SEP},
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

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

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).},

Images With a Calibration Target},
Journal = {WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH},

Volume = {58},
Number = {8},
Month = {AUG},
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, ).},

Volume = {107},
Number = {2, SI},
Pages = {1451-1468},
Month = {JAN},
Abstract = {The pervasiveness of multi-stability in nonlinear dynamical systems
calls for novel concepts of stability and a consistent quantification of
long-term behavior. The basin stability is a global stability metric
that builds on estimating the basin of attraction volumes by Monte Carlo
sampling. The computation involves extensive numerical time
integrations, attractor characterization, and clustering of
trajectories. We introduce bSTAB, an open-source software project that
aims at enabling researchers to efficiently compute the basin stability
of their dynamical systems with minimal efforts and in a highly
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
collaborations in the field of nonlinear dynamics and is driven by the
interaction and contribution of the community to the software package.},

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.},

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.},

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

public, usually through the Internet, so that everybody can use and

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.},

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.},

dose-surface map generation and analysis},

Volume = {49},

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.},

Open-Source Software Learning Management Systems},

Pages = {529-556},
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.},

interpretive case study of user participation},
Journal = {INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY \& PEOPLE},
Year = {2009},
Volume = {22},
Number = {2},
Pages = {132-156},
Abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to report findings from an
interpretive case study on user participation in the open source
software (OSS) development context.
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.},

Year = {2017},
Volume = {47},
Number = {2},
Pages = {211-231},

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.},

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

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.

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

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.},

Abstract = {Digital signatures are important in order to ensure the integrity and
authenticity of information communicated over the Internet involving
different stakeholders within and beyond the borders of different
nations. The topic has gained increased interest in the European context
and there is legislation and project initiatives aiming to facilitate
use and standardisation of digital signatures. Open standards and open
source implementations of open standards are important means for the
interoperability and long-term maintenance of software systems
implementing digital signatures. In this paper we report from a study
aiming to establish the availability and effectiveness of software
provided under an open source license for digital signing and validation
of PDF documents. Specifically, we characterise the use of digital
signatures in Swedish Governmental agencies, report on the
interoperability of open source and proprietary licensed software for
digital signatures in PDF documents, and establish the effectiveness of
software provided under an open source license for validation of digital
signatures in PDF documents.},

Nowadays, several open source projects are so popular that are
considered as a standard in their domain. Additionally, the amount of
source code that is freely available to developers, offer great reuse
opportunities. One of the main concerns of the reuser is the quality of
the code that is being reused. Design patterns are well known solutions
that are expected to enhance software quality. In this paper we
investigate the extent to which object-oriented design patterns are used
in open-source software, across domains.},

Title = {Software reliability model of open source software based on the
decreasing trend of fault introduction},
Journal = {PLOS ONE},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {17},
Number = {5},
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
returning scientifically useful data has led to an exponential increase
in citizen science, education and environmental monitoring groups.
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.},

its announcement that it will not assert its patents against the OSS
community and its creation of a patent commons. These decisions formed a
coherent IP strategy in support of OSS. We find that IBM's actions
stimulated new OSS product introductions by entrepreneurial firms and
that their impact is increasing in the cumulativeness of innovation in
the market and the extent to which patent ownership in the market is
concentrated.},

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.},

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.},

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.},

to be addressed directly on this topic are ``map reading and atlas
use{''}; the major value wished to be gained by the students is the
``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.},

Abstract = {Numerical simulation experiments are of great importance for research
and education in Physics. They can be greatly aided by proper graphical
representations, especially for spatio-temporal dynamics. In this
contribution, we describe and provide a novel Javascript-based library
and cloud microservice-QMwebJS-for the visualization of the temporal
evolution of three-dimensional distributions. It is an easy to use,
web-based library for creating, editing, and exporting 3D models based
on the particle sampling method. Accessible from any standard browser,
it does not require downloads or installations. Users can directly share
their work with other students, teachers or researchers by keeping their
models in the cloud and allowing for interactive viewing of the
spatio-temporal solutions. This software tool was developed to support
quantum mechanics teaching at an undergraduate level by plotting the
spatial probability density distribution given by the wavefunction, but
it can be useful in different contexts including the study of nonlinear
waves.},

Abstract = {The increasing dependence of our modern society on software systems has
driven the development of software products become even more competitive
and time-consuming. Single release software product no longer meets the
increasing market requirements. Thereby it is important to release
multiple version software products in order to add new features in the
next release and fix remaining faults from previous release. In this
paper, we develop a multi-release software reliability model with
consideration of the remaining software faults from previous release and
the new introduced-faults (from newly added features). Additionally,
dependent fault detection process is taken into account in this
research. In particular, the detection of a new fault for developing the
next release depends on the detection of the remaining faults from
previous release and the detection of the new introduced-faults. The
proposed model is validated on the open source software project datasets
with multiple releases.},

Libkrylov features pluggable preconditioning, orthonormalization, and
tunable convergence control. Diagonal (conjugate gradient, CG),
Davidson, and Jacobi-Davidson preconditioners are available, along with
orthonormal and nonorthonormal (nKs) schemes. All functionality of
libkrylov is exposed via Fortran and C application programming
interfaces (APIs). We illustrate the performance of libkrylov for
eigenvalue calculations arising in time-dependent density functional
theory (TDDFT) in the Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA) and discuss the
convergence behavior as a function of preconditioning and
orthonormalization methods.},

Abstract = {Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is widely used to model fluid flow
and optimize industrial processes. The main obstacle to implement these
methods to small businesses might be the price of commercial software.
However, many cases do not necessarily require state-of-the-art

The aim of the article was to study and present the capabilities of a
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
Automation and Measurements. The article focused on a key issue in most
of the CFD simulations, which is turbulence modelling. Both RANS-based
and Large Eddy Simulation models were tested. The process of setting up
simulations and its results are presented.},

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

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.},

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.},

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.},

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

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 = {Input data management is a time-consuming and costly for Discrete Event
Simulation (DES) projects. According to research studies, the input data
phase constitutes, on the average, can account for over a third of the
time of an entire simulation project. 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.},

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
and details that are not relevant for a fast and effective evaluation of
the product's qualities. So, final users and even developers who are
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
and retained at each stage of the innovation process. To this purpose,
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
of 40 case studies of OSS projects hosted in Freshmeat. The results show
OSS governance is configurational, and highlights four likely
configurations of governance. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

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.},

a content analysis of open source software case studies},

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

interactions; this affords the opportunity to study naturally occurring
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
the community.},

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

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.},

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,

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

Title = {Mapping of land cover with open-source software and
ultra-high-resolution imagery acquired with unmanned aerial vehicles},

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.},

Title = {MORE IS NOT NECESSARILY BETTER: AN ABSORPTIVE CAPACITY PERSPECTIVE ON
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.},

Year = {2013},
Volume = {42},
Number = {8},
Pages = {1325-1340},
Month = {SEP},
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.},

Year = {2016},
Volume = {116},

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.},

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.},

Abstract = {The interdisciplinary nature of environmental research centres, dealing
with geospatial data, analysis and environmental modelling on a daily
basis, requires specific methods and technologies in the field of
geospatial information management. The large amount of generated
information has to be stored, catalogued, visualised and treated
effectively for further analysis. The Public Research Centre Henri Tudor
has set up a prototype system to create an integrated geospatial data
infrastructure, serving the needs of various user profiles from novice
level to advanced and experienced data analysts and modellers. The paper
will show solutions on how to give a broad range of users access to an
integrated infrastructure. This is achieved by introducing different
user interfaces: an easy to use web interface for beginners - advanced
web mapping and feature services coupled to desktop GIS applications for
intermediates - direct data base access, making use of cutting-edge
geospatial tools and spatially distributed modelling algorithms for
experts. The system is fully functional on all user levels and based on
free and open source software. It is integrating current standards of
the Open Geospatial Consortium, to assure exchange with stakeholders and
to guarantee its further functional extensibility.},

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
Source Software (FOSS) projects. The well-being of a FOSS project
depends on the turning of project newcomers into `good contributors'
that is to say into individuals that substantially contribute to the
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.},

Abstract = {While open source health information software platforms provide
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
platforms. Drawing from a case study focusing on the deployment and
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

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.},

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

Abstract = {Open source software (OSS) development has become an essential element

examines the simultaneous effects of external and internal sources of

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.},

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.},

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.},

pre-processing and knowledge extraction for medical AI},
Journal = {PLOS ONE},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {19},
Number = {12},
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.},

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
clinician preferences. We believe these refinements increase the
usability of our system while decreasing targeting error.},

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.},

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},

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.},

visualisation of fisheries logbook and VMS data},

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

the growth of the information technology, the gap between these two
fields is rather decreasing. The present existing majority of the tools
are focused for the commercial business settings such as software
development but the scope of the field can be increased to the other
fields such as education and serving people in different fields such as
Artists. The Artists are in search of open source software tools which
can enhance their creative ability and at the same time want to
collaborate with others to increase their knowledge on the tool. The
creativity is difficult to measure as we have to consider the way the
tool is enhancing the creative knowledge of the user using the tool. The
creativity can also be based upon understanding the relations between
different phenomena governing the tool such as Artist, Artwork, Visitor
and Software. The ArTe conceptual model is based upon these principles,
so the tools are evaluated based upon the ArTe conceptual model.},

Title = {Measurement of ground displacement from optical satellite image
correlation using the free open-source software MicMac},
Journal = {ISPRS JOURNAL OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND REMOTE SENSING},
Year = {2015},
Volume = {100},
Pages = {48-59},
Month = {FEB},
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

Abstract = {Designing stealth technologies for modern warships requires methods for
signatures reduction (radar, infrared, etc). First, we have to model
these signatures. In Lapierre et al. (2006), Lapierre et al. (2007)
{[}3,4], we proposed an infrared (IR) ship signature simulation software
(OSMOSIS) that can manage parametric emissivity. OSMOSIS comprises a
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
``L-shape{''} object. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

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.},

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.},

Abstract = {While researchers are becoming increasingly interested in studying OSS
phenomenon, there is still a small number of studies analyzing larger
samples of projects investigating the structure of activities among OSS
developers. The significant amount of information that has been gathered
in the publicly available open-source software repositories and
mailing-list archives offers an opportunity to analyze projects
structures and participant involvement. In this article, using on
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.},

Abstract = {In this paper we combined layers created from several terrain rendering
techniques, namely a shaded relief rendered in the free and open-source
3D computer graphics software Blender, a hillshade created in the free
and opensource Geographic Information System (GIS) software QGIS, a
hypsometric coloured Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and a draped digital
orthophoto. Following a recent trend in the cartographic community
towards using Blender, we tried to improve the standard relief
visualization in common GIS software by blending it with a shaded relief
rendered in Blender. Using different QGIS blending modes and opacity
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
which is combined from a shaded relief rendered in Blender, a hillshade
created in QGIS, a hypsometric coloured DEM and a draped digital
orthophoto.},

Abstract = {Day-night locomotor activities are the most readily observed outputs of
the circadian (similar to 24-h period) clock in many animals. Temporal
patterns of the light-dark schedule serve as input to the clock. While
circadian activity patterns under various lighting conditions have been
observed and documented, the full extent of circadian locomotor
activities by genotype and entrainment remains uncharacterized. To
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
blueprints, along with software programs for Arduino and a Python-based
graphical user interface (GUI), so that the system can be easily
replicated in other laboratories.},

Abstract = {In Japan, Ministry of agriculture, forestry and fisheries is responsible
for disaster reduction in rural areas and irrigation facilities, such as
head works, irrigation canals, pump stations, landslides, farm ponds,
etc. The sensor data collecting system for the detection of abnormal
conditions of the irrigation facilities or landslide is now being
replaced with new equipment. An event of disaster depends upon
meteorological factors, various conditions of facilities, the flow of
river, etc. Many different kinds of organizations, such as
meteorological observatories, the river bureau, a land improvement
district, etc., have observed data. If the residents in rural areas or
the staffs of land improvement bureau want to know the risk of disaster,
they must collect many kinds of data from many organizations. But such
kind of data is related to the location. Therefore in case that each
organization opens the observed data to the public using WMS, WFS, WCS
or under the ISO TC211 standards, the data users can easily obtain such
kind data associated with location information through the Internet.
This kind of www server is called ``GeoWeb{''}. The author conducts an
experiment on making it and trying to find problems.},

Abstract = {The current 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, OSS (Open Source Software) systems
which serve as key components of critical infrastructure,, in the
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.},

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

but also developers giving them a possibility for customization and

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.},

become more and more fundamental in the last 10 years, as long as
corporate and government organizations have developed their educational
and training programs based on OSS out-of-the-box tools. This paper
qualitatively documents the decision of the largest UK e-learning
provider, the Open University, to adopt the Mood le e-learning system,
and how it has been successfully deployed in its site after a
multi-million investment. A further quantitative study also provides
evidence of how a commercial stakeholder has been engaged with, and
produced outputs for, the Mood le community. Lessons learned from this
experience by the stakeholders include the crucial factors of
contributing to the OSS community, and adapting to an evolving
technology. It also becomes evident how commercial partners helped this
OSS system to achieve the transition from an ``average{''} OSS system to
a successful multi-site, collaborative and community-based OSS project.},

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.},

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.},

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.},

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.},

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.},

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

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.},

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 = {In recent years, a very important structural change in the software
industry took place, with an increasing number of firms that got
involved in Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) development
communities. FLOSS communities and products have been studied as
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.},

synthetic metric (Quality Assurance Indicator - Qi), which captures in
an integrated way different object-oriented software attributes. We
wanted to investigate if the Qi metric can be used to support the
applicability of Lehman's laws of software evolution. We focused on the
laws related with continuing change, increasing complexity, continuing
growth and declining quality. We performed an empirical analysis using
historical data on two open source (Java) software systems. The
collected data cover a period of more than four years (fifty-two
versions) for the first system and more than seven years (thirty-one
versions) for the second one. Empirical results provide evidence that
the considered Lehman's laws are supported by the collected data and the
Qi metric.},

Abstract = {This paper presents an analysis of online discussions in Open Source
Software (OSS) design. The objective of our work is twofold. First, our
research aims to understand and model the dynamics of OSS design that
take place in mailing list exchanges. Second, our more long term
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.},

Abstract = {Extant research on open source software (OSS) has primarily focused on
software developers and active users but has paid limited attention to
the less visible ``passive{''} users who form the silent majority of OSS

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.},

Open-Source Software Based on the Fracture Locus of Materials},
Journal = {MATERIALS},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {16},
Number = {1},
Month = {JAN},
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.},

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.},

non-response, social exclusion, and false acceptance. They all have
hindered usability work. We also offer examples of usability specialists

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 = {Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) communities are considered an
example of commons-based peer-production models where groups of
participants work together to achieve projects of common purpose. In
these settings, many occurring activities can be documented and have
established them as learning environments. As knowledge exchange is
proved to occur in FLOSS, the dynamic and free nature of participation
poses a great challenge in understanding activities pertaining to
Learning Processes.
In this paper we raise this question and propose an ontology (called
OntoLiFLOSS) in order to define terms and concepts that can explain
learning activities taking place in these communities. The objective of
this endeavor is to define in the simplest possible way a common
definition of concepts and activities that can guide the identification
of learning processes taking place among FLOSS members in any of the
standard repositories such as mailing list, SVN, bug trackers and even
discussion forums.},

Title = {Singing Ability Assessment: Development and validation of a singing test
based on item response theory and a general open-source software
environment for singing data},
Journal = {BEHAVIOR RESEARCH METHODS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {56},
Number = {5},

Month = {AUG},
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.},

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.},

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

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

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 = {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.},

Abstract = {The paradigm of Open Source Software (OSS) has revolutionized the way in
which the software is used, marketed and distributed. Due to its
strategic importance, in recent years, public administrations have
defined plans for the promotion and strengthening of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) based on the use of OSS. These
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.},

Abstract = {Free and open-source software for image analysis and morphological
measurements in scientific research is rising in popularity and
capabilities as new methods, plugins and macros are being actively
developed. A semi-automated method for measuring rat uterus morphology
using free and open-source software (Gimp and FIJI) is demonstrated in
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.},

``CGITA{''} for Quantifying Tumor Heterogeneity with Molecular Images},
Journal = {BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {2014},
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
for free for academic use at http://code.google.com/p/cgita.},

and Free or Open Source Software Implementations},
Journal = {ISPRS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GEO-INFORMATION},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {8},
Number = {12},
Month = {DEC},
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.},

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.},

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

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

determination for use in plant phenotyping},
Journal = {PLANT METHODS},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {19},
Number = {1},
Month = {NOV 15},
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.},

fields in photo-excited chemical systems},
Journal = {COMPUTER PHYSICS COMMUNICATIONS},

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

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

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.},

Abstract = {We present GlassesViewer, open-source software for viewing and analyzing
eye-tracking data of the Tobii Pro Glasses 2 head-mounted eye tracker as
well as the scene and eye videos and other data streams (pupil size,
gyroscope, accelerometer, and TTL input) that this headset can record.
The software provides the following functionality written in MATLAB: (1)
a graphical interface for navigating the study- and recording structure
produced by the Tobii Glasses 2; (2) functionality to unpack, parse, and
synchronize the various data and video streams comprising a Glasses 2
recording; and (3) a graphical interface for viewing the Glasses 2's
gaze direction, pupil size, gyroscope and accelerometer time-series
data, along with the recorded scene and eye camera videos. In this
latter interface, segments of data can furthermore be labeled through
user-provided event classification algorithms or by means of manual
annotation. Lastly, the toolbox provides integration with the GazeCode
tool by Benjamins et al. (2018), enabling a completely open-source
workflow for analyzing Tobii Pro Glasses 2 recordings.},

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.},

Journal = {MATHEMATICAL BIOSCIENCES AND ENGINEERING},
Year = {2023},
Volume = {20},
Number = {7},
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 = {We present DeepMIB, a new software package that is capable of training
convolutional neural networks for segmentation of multidimensional

application for segmentation of 2D and 3D electron and multicolor light
microscopy datasets with isotropic and anisotropic voxels. We distribute
DeepMIB as both an open-source multi-platform Matlab code and as

in a single package that is simple to install and use as it does not
require knowledge of programming. DeepMIB is suitable for everyone
interested of bringing a power of deep learning into own image
segmentation workflows.
Author summary
Deep learning approaches are highly sought after solutions for coping
with large amounts of collected datasets and are expected to become an
essential part of imaging workflows. However, in most cases, deep
learning is still considered as a complex task that only image analysis
experts can master. With DeepMIB we address this problem and provide the
community with a user-friendly and open-source tool to train
convolutional neural networks and apply them to segment 2D and 3D
grayscale or multi-color datasets.},

optimization in systems biology and bioinformatics},
Journal = {BMC BIOINFORMATICS},
Year = {2014},
Volume = {15},
Month = {MAY 10},
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.},

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.

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

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.},

Abstract = {The article recaptures inquiries about free software communities in
Argentina in order to deepen on their forms of participation and
activism. We focus on the motivations that bring together members of
communities and projects, which are associated with both technical 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

Abstract = {The Alexander von Humboldt Biological Resources Research Institute is a
non-profit organization. Its mission is to promote, coordinate, and
carry out researches that contribute to the conservation and sustainable
use of biological diversity in Colombia. One of the most important tools
used by the IAvH is the Geographical information managed by the Unit of
Geographical Information Systems (UNISIG). Actually UNISIG is focused in
provide to the researchers geographical information as one of the main
tools for support their analysis, this is made by developing spatial and
geostatistical analysis as well as biogeography and biodiversity
modeling.
This tools and the development of new methodologies applied in the
inventory and conservation of the biodiversity will depend upon (a)
scientific development testing of the methodologies (b) the
institutional capacity built up through development of the techniques,
training and collaborative applications c) use of open source software.
UNISIG has developed an internet application to disseminate the
geographical information produced in the project ``Conservation and
sustainable use of biodiversity in the Colombian Andes{''} financed by
GEF. This open source software based application (php, MySQL and Map
Server), is a web database with geographic information of the Andean
ecosystems in Colombia and also the data of biologic collections derived
from scientific studies undertaken in the region.},

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.},

Month = {NOV-DEC},
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.},

Forms of Participation in Open Source Software Communities},

Volume = {24},

Month = {SEP},
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.

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.},

Title = {FreeContact: fast and free software for protein contact prediction from
residue co-evolution},
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).},

At the University of Lincoln, under the Undergraduate Research
Opportunities Scheme (UROS), undergraduate student researchers have the
chance to work over the summer embedded within an existing research
centre on a UROS project. Here two such projects within the Centre for
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.},

reviewed, after which usability innovation is empirically explored in
OSS development. The interpretive ease study shows that usability
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.},

Title = {Knowledge management in OSS communities: Relationship between dense and
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.},

Year = {2024},

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.},

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

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

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.},

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.},

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

Abstract = {Nowadays, computed tomography and three dimensional visualization
provide anatomic images structures with an impressive richness of
anatomical details. They are ubiquitous used in various fields of
medical knowledge. In addition, X-ray microtomography (XMT) next to
standard quantitative computed tomography (QCT) provide data with much
higher spatial resolution. Use them for three dimensional visualization
of the surface of animal tissue for macroscopic and microscopic analysis
of the structure of tissue is a tool of immense possibilities that
successfully is widely use in structural studies of hard tissues. The
research article presents the disadvantages and advantages of the
creation and use of three dimensional visualization of images using

Natural Product-Based Drug Discovery Using Untargeted Metabolomics},
Journal = {ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {96},
Number = {19},
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.},

is essential for project success. While there exists a large knowledge
base of software maintainability, this knowledge is rarely used in open

in identifying quality issues. To effectively utilize the current
knowledge base in practice requires a deeper understanding of how
problems associated with the different qualities arise and change over
time. In this paper, we sample over 6000 real bugs found from several
Mozilla products to examine how maintainability is expressed with
subgroups of repairability and modifiability. Furthermore, we manually
study how these qualities evolve as the products mature, what the root
causes of the bugs are for each quality and the impact and dependency of
each quality. Our results inform which areas should be focused on to
ensure maintainability at different stages of the development and

Abstract = {An open source implementation of a previously published integrated

sensitization potency based on in silico and in vitro information as
well as skin penetration characteristics from a published
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

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

attributes and software vulnerabilities with a data set of 1268
vulnerabilities affecting the software produced by 60 open source

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},
Pages = {211-235},

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.},

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

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.},

Title = {A new approach to landslide geomorphological mapping using the Open

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.},

case study using metrics based on program slicing},

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

Abstract = {Free and open source software has transformed from what has been
characterized as a resistance movement against proprietary software to
become a commercially viable form of software development, integrated in
various forms with proprietary software business. In this paper we
explain this development as a dependence on historical formations,
shaped by different ways of justifying the use of open source during
different periods of time. These formations are described as
arrangements of different justificatory logics within a certain time
frame or a certain group of actors motivating the use of free and open
source software by referring to different potentialities. The
justificatory arrangements change over time, and tracing these changes
makes it easier to understand how the cultural, economic and social
practices of open source movements are currently being absorbed and
adopted in a commercial context.},

for two storage units achieved its objectives of 1) practically
eliminating flooding and 2) maintaining the water level at the storage
units close to a target level. Although the current swmm\_mpc workflow
was feasible for a simple model using a desktop PC, a high-performance
computer or cloud-based computer with more computational cores would
likely be needed for most real-world models.},

Title = {Network structure and requirements crowdsourcing for OSS projects},
Journal = {REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING},
Year = {2021},
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.},

Pages = {337-352},
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
and contributions. The primary developers start and administer an OSS
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.},

how tools and code can exercise agency and alter a software development

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).},

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

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.},

Title = {Flux Puppy - An open-source software application and portable system
design for low-cost manual measurements of CO<sub>2</sub> and
H<sub>2</sub>O fluxes},
Journal = {AGRICULTURAL AND FOREST METEOROLOGY},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {274},
Pages = {1-6},
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 = {Despite the growth experienced by the Collaborative Economy in recent
years, there are still unexplored gaps within this phenomenon. One of
the areas of study with scarce literature is linked with the impact of
the In-formation 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 organiza-tions? 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.},

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.},

Title = {DEPLOYING SDN AND NFV AT THE SPEED OF INNOVATION: TOWARD A NEW BOND
BETWEEN STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS, INDUSTRY FORA, AND
OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE PROJECTS},
Journal = {IEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE},
Year = {2016},
Volume = {54},

Month = {MAR},
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.},

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.},

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.},

Abstract = {The thermal analysis of milkweed and several individual commercial
materials of similar chemical composition has been carried out. By
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.},

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 her 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 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.},

Year = {2015},
Volume = {41},
Number = {1},
Pages = {82-99},
Month = {JAN},
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
wrote at https://www.passion-lab.org/projects/developerfluency.html.},

Abstract = {Over the years, Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) distributions
have become more and more complex and recent versions contain tens of
thousands of packages. This has made it impossible to do quality control
by hand. Instead, distribution editors must look to automated methods to

In the present paper, we present some insights into the general
structure of FLOSS distributions. We notably show that such
distributions have the characteristics of a small world network: there
are only a few important packages, and many less important packages.
Identifying the important packages can help editors focus their efforts
on parts of the distribution where errors will have important
consequences.},

Title = {A Guide to Measuring Heart and Respiratory Rates Based on Off-the-Shelf
Photoplethysmographic Hardware and Open-Source Software},
Journal = {SENSORS},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {24},
Number = {12},
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 = {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

Volume = {22},
Number = {01},

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.},

influence of topography on different environmental and human processes.
The advent of publicly available DEM data has provided a cheaper,
low-cost alternative to traditional field data collection and survey.
Handling, processing, and visualization of such data on an open-source
software will provide researchers and specialists a better and faster
way of generating digital terrain maps and creating input data for other
analyses. This paper demonstrates the methodology of combining the use
ASTER GDEM and SAGA functionality of QGIS, and R software to develop
terrain maps for Marinduque, an island province of the Philippines.},

estimation based on multi-GNSS and multi-frequency observations},
Journal = {GPS SOLUTIONS},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {25},

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
tools.},

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.},

networks},
Journal = {COMPUTATIONAL AND STRUCTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY JOURNAL},
Year = {2021},

Pages = {4840-4853},
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:

Title = {The <i>blenderFace</i> method: video-based measurement of raw movement
data during facial expressions of emotion using open-source software},
Journal = {BEHAVIOR RESEARCH METHODS},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {51},
Number = {2},

Month = {APR},
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.},

Markers from Universal Microscope Data, Supported by Open Source
Software},
Journal = {JOVE-JOURNAL OF VISUALIZED EXPERIMENTS},
Year = {2014},
Number = {94},
Month = {DEC},
Abstract = {Advances in understanding the control mechanisms governing the behavior
of cells in adherent mammalian tissue culture models are becoming
increasingly dependent on modes of single-cell analysis. Methods which
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 = {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
turbulence model were used to simulate the flow to study the aeration
effect on flow characteristics, so the range of aeration coefficient as
0\%<beta<10\% for four ramps with different t(r)/d ratios is Applied,
then by increasing the aeration coefficient in the range of
0\%<beta<16\%, The dependency range of relative Cavity length L-c/t(r)
to (beta) was evaluated. In order to verify performance of the numerical
model, experimental results of Manafpour test were used. The results of
the research indicate that in the aeration of flow with aerator ramp,
the height of ramp has more influence relative to ramp angle. Moreover
the main Effectiveness of the aeration coefficient on the cavity length
was limited to air percent less than 10\%.},

Abstract = {A major challenge in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors is
tissue heterogeneity leading to mixed treatment response. Additionally,
they are often difficult or at very high risk for biopsy, further
hindering the clinical management process. To overcome this, novel
advanced imaging methods are increasingly being adapted clinically to
identify useful noninvasive biomarkers capable of disease stage
characterization and treatment response prediction. One promising
technique is called functional diffusion mapping (fDM), which uses
diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to generate parametric maps between two
imaging time points in order to identify significant voxel-wise changes
in water diffusion within the tumor tissue. Here we introduce serial
functional diffusion mapping (sfDM), an extension of existing fDM
methods, to analyze the entire tumor diffusion profile along the
temporal course of the disease. sfDM provides the tools necessary to
analyze a tumor data set in the context of spatiotemporal parametric
mapping: the image registration pipeline, biomarker extraction, and
visualization tools. We present the general workflow of the pipeline,
along with a typical use case for the software. sfDM is written in
Python and is freely available as an open-source package under the
Berkley Software Distribution (BSD) license to promote transparency and
reproducibility.},

we propose and validate two antecedents of organizational investment in

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.},

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

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.},

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.},

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.},

such strategy or another: which are the business goals that are

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.},

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

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.},

Abstract = {Background: The potential cost savings and customizability of open

However, numerous health-care-specific OSS applications exist, the
adoption of OSS health information technology (HIT) applications is not

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.},

Title = {Celeris: A GPU-accelerated open source software with a Boussinesq-type
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

problems via the Ensemble Smoother with Multiple Data Assimilation},
Journal = {COMPUTERS \& GEOSCIENCES},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {167},
Month = {OCT},
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.},

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 = {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\%.},

Abstract = {With population growth and dwindling freshwater sources, protecting such
sources has come to the forefront of water resource management.
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
source and build their own UIs. The UI empowers users by providing

Abstract = {Milkweed, a perennial plant that can adapt to adverse soil conditions,

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
entrance barrier for newcomers. 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

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.},

Journal = {DATA \& KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING},
Year = {2015},
Volume = {99},

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.

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
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

Abstract = {This paper proposes the identification of patterns of behaviour of open
source software (OSS) communities using factor analysis and their social
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
identifying likely bases for a renewal of critique given these
realities.},

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 = {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.},

Abstract = {The Free Software/Open Source movements have not only challenged the

against intellectual monopoly far beyond the software world, challenging
the I PR dogma as a whole. However, these have had less influence in
China thus far, though there has been a rapid growth of free/open source
software in China. 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.},

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.},

report of two cases},
Journal = {DENTOMAXILLOFACIAL RADIOLOGY},

Volume = {46},
Number = {1},
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.},

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
dependent on contextual and organizational factors, as for example, the
need of the change itself, the political support for the change, the
suitability of IT, the organizational climate, the motivation of the
human resources, the kind of leadership for the project or the firm
complexity. Besides, migration efforts imply strategic and
organizational consequences that the organization must evaluate well in

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.},

projects have in common many characteristics with MOOCs. This is because
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

in the city of Cordoba (Argentina) with children of different ages in
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.},

Title = {Environmental effects on the experimental modal parameters of masonry
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.},

Abstract = {Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has drawn extensive attention with
some features including visible-light response as non-metallic
semiconductor, low cost in raw material and green pollution-free for

recombination, easy aggregation, etc. In this work, the 1D-2D
HNTs\&g-C3N4-X binary materials similar to meat floss pattern in a
series of halloysite loading amounts are designed via a facile
electrostatic self-assembly strategy with debris g-C3N4 after cell
pulverizing treatment and HNTs that outwardly modified by
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

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
decades. Its development model is distributed, and its authors are
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:

works. In many fields such as information processing and retrieval, they
rely on datasets composed of training and test sub-datasets. In the
recommendation field, some benchmarks do exist for various types of

(OSS). The aim of this paper is to create a first benchmark specific to
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.},

quality and security assurance. Google maintains OSS-Fuzz: a continuous
fuzzing service for open source software. We conduct the first empirical
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.},

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.},

businesses as well as in the academic world. OSS enables many
possibilities for companies but also sets new kinds of challenges.
Because of the characteristics of the OSS phenomenon we propose that
trust in OSS communities plays a key role in facilitating their success.
Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the factors that affect
trust in OSS communities. The data is gathered by a survey aimed to
Linux Kernel developers. Among other results it may be concluded that
the most important factors affecting trust seem to be other developers'
skills, reputation as well as the formal and informal practices.},

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.},

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.},

A Bibliometric, Comparative Analysis Among the United States, EU-28

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.},

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

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

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},

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,
and it is continuously getting more and more attention of researchers. A
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.},

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.},

Abstract = {Students in computer science (CS) and related disciplines must master
content knowledge and skills as well as process skills including
communication, critical thinking, problem solving, and teamwork. Free \&
Open Source Software (FOSS) projects provide opportunities for students
to contribute to real software systems and participate in diverse
communities, helping students to master both content and process skills.
Humanitarian FOSS (HFOSS) projects address social needs, and appeal to
many students. However, FOSS can present challenges for students and
teachers. To address these challenges, faculty use evidence-based
approaches, including Team Project Based Learning (TPBL) and Process
Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL). This paper describes the
redesign of a set of workshop sessions to help faculty learn about HFOSS
principles and communities, and how to use HFOSS, TPBL, and POGIL in
their own classrooms.},

Abstract = {Information and communication technology (ICT) workers rarely join trade
unions. This is usually explained by the individualized nature of work.
This article examines broader forms of collectivism for these workers,
drawing on survey and interview data. The focus is on social class,
attitudes towards unions and professional bodies and participation in
the broader ICT community - specifically Free, Libre and Open Source
Software (FLOSS). The findings reveal absence of formal collective
frames of reference or organization, yet the creativity, autonomy and
initiative central to the identity of ICT workers may offer
opportunities for collectivization particularly with regard to
participation in FLOSS communities.},

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.},

Abstract = {We propose a mathematical model to fit the degree distribution of
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.},

Abstract = {Claims about the potential of free software to reform the production and

free software community fails to engage the pragmatic and economic
`realities' of a software industry. We argue to the contrary that
contemporary business and economic trends definitively demonstrate the
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
reform.},

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.},

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

Abstract = {In this work, a geophysical characterization of the subsoil of a civil

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 = {Free software enables its free use by anyone under observance of user
proprietary rights. The authors review the market of free computerized
library information systems. The origins for applying free ALIS are
specified; free Evergreen. Koha ALIS are characterized and compared; the
list of foreign free ALIS, date and state of development are specified.
The methodology for ALIS market estimation is suggested; the role of
ALIS developing and related communities is emphasized. The library and
designer aspects of ALIS development are described. The new phenomenon
of ``donation culture{''} emerged due to implementing free software in
libraries. The typical copyright conflict around Koha ALIS between
proprietors and independent designers (the latter won with establishing
community trust) is described. Using free ALIS follows the general trend
of applying free software in public offices, with all advantages and
disadvantages of this information infrastructure. As a result, free
software is often opposed by the proprietary one, however both
components make the competitive market offering users to make choice of
ALIS of appropriate price/quality balance.},

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},
Journal = {EARTH SCIENCE INFORMATICS},
Year = {2022},
Volume = {15},

Month = {JUN},
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.},

combines it with the semantic similarity to optimize search results

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.},

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

Open-Source Software and Geomatics Techniques: A Case Study of the
``Hannibal Bridge{''}, Italy},
Journal = {REMOTE SENSING},
Year = {2024},
Volume = {16},
Number = {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.},

Year = {2022},
Volume = {6},

Month = {SEP},
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.},

Companies? A Motivational Answer through a Delphi-Based Consensus Study},

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
following a shared vision. But governing open communities towards this

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.},

Pages = {1-26},
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.},

Journal = {INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY},
Year = {2013},
Volume = {55},

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.},

exponentially as the size DEM increases, limiting the applications when

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.

Pages = {251-267},
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,

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.},

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 = {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.},

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 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 = {The Setplay Framework (available from SourceForge as free software) is
composed of a C++ library (Project name: fcportugalsetplays), a fully
functional RoboCup Simulation 2D demonstration team
(fcportugalsetplaysagent2d), and a complete graphical tool (SPlanner),
that can be used to design and plan the collaborative behavior between
the soccer player agents. In order to demonstrate the usage of the
Setplay library, a complete 2D simulation team, based on Agent2D, was
developed. This example team uses the framework to execute previously
planned collaborative behavior. This framework can be used both within
simulated environments, such as the Robocup Soccer Simulation leagues,
and with real soccer playing robots. This paper presents the free
software Setplay Framework, and provides the necessary information for
any team to use the framework with the goal of providing collaborative
behavior to a team of soccer playing robots.},

Abstract = {User eXperience (UX) significantly influences the success of free and

maturity models (UXCMMs). Every organization desires higher levels of UX
maturity; however, it requires upfront preparations and process quality
control. Harmonizing processes and analytical lenses for determining
preparation for UX maturity are still challenging, and studies to create
them are limited. The analysis is ad hoc and based on the actors ` will
and experiences. This study proposes and validates analytical lenses.
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.},

modifications of the method for fuzzy environment have been devised. The
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.

Month = {APR},
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.},

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

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 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 = {A new FOSS (free and open source software) toolchain and associated
workflow is being developed in the context of NFDI4Culture, a German
consortium of research- and cultural heritage institutions working
towards a shared infrastructure for research data that meets the needs
of 21st century data creators, maintainers and end users across the
broad spectrum of the digital libraries and archives field, and the
digital humanities. This short paper and demo present how the integrated
toolchain connects: 1) OpenRefine - for data reconciliation and batch
upload; 2) Wikibase - for linked open data (LOD) storage; and 3)
Kompakkt - for rendering and annotating 3D models. The presentation is
aimed at librarians, digital curators and data managers interested in
learning how to manage research datasets containing 3D media, and how to
make them available within an open data environment with 3D-rendering
and collaborative annotation features.},

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

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

makes the software easier to maintain, reducing the maintainability
costs. Otherwise, uncontrolled complexity makes the maintenance and

contribute to the system abandonment. This work investigates the
evolution of complexity in discontinued FLOSS projects. After several

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.},

S-shaped curves can model software evolution well for Ivy. Moreover, we
demonstrated that our method can be used to identify successfully

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},
Year = {2023},

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.},

Title = {PM<sub>2.5</sub> and ash residue from combustion of moxa floss},
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.},

Abstract = {Purpose To present an open-source software () for monitoring
intrafraction motion that is based on the visualization of superimposed
contours of projected region-of-interests from DICOM RTSTRUCT files on
cine-MV images acquired and displayed in real-time during radiation
therapy delivery. Clinical use with prostate gold fiducial markers is
presented.
Methods Projections of regions of interest (ROI) in the reference frame
of the electronic portal imaging device are computed offline for
different gantry angles before the first treatment fraction. During
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.},

Title = {A FREE SOFTWARE PLATFORM FOR EMBEDDED REAL-TIME ROBOTICS AND INDUSTRIAL
AUTOMATION},
Booktitle = {JAVA SOFTWARE AND EMBEDDED SYSTEMS},
Series = {Computer Science Technology and Applications},
Year = {2010},
Pages = {211-225},
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

Title = {A FREE SOFTWARE PLATFORM FOR EMBEDDED REAL-TIME ROBOTICS AND INDUSTRIAL
AUTOMATION},
Booktitle = {LARGE SCALE COMPUTATIONS, EMBEDDED SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER SECURITY},
Series = {Computer Science Technology and Applications},
Year = {2010},
Pages = {201-216},
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

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.},

niche, vertical, layer and broad scope. We examine empirical vendor data
from the years 2002 and 2005. Results show that all hypothesized
strategies are present in the market. Most of the firms have either a

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.},

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
terms of a series of performance metrics.},

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.},

Abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to describe the case of
synchronized multimedia presentations.
Design/methodology/approach - The proposal is based on SMIL as

SMIL template used by INRIA on their technical presentations. It also
proposes a set of free tools to produce presentation content and design
focusing on RealPlayer as delivery client. The integration in this

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
OGC standards.},

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.},

as key components of critical infrastructures in the society are still

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

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
work.},

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.},

Journal = {EMPIRICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING},
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.},

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.},

Abstract = {We have proposed the maintenance effort assessment model based on two

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

Community-initiated OSS Projects},
Journal = {E-INFORMATICA SOFTWARE ENGINEERING JOURNAL},
Year = {2019},
Volume = {13},

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.},

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.},

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

Year = {2024},
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.},

understanding of how those three systems evolved as they did While the
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.},

results confirm the necessity of structuring the virtual community with
a selection of active developers and core members to promote community

Journal = {EMPIRICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING},
Year = {2017},
Volume = {22},
Number = {1},

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.},

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.},

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

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.},

Abstract = {Maintaining and retaining contributors is crucial for Open Source (OSS)
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.},

Year = {2024},
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},

Month = {WIN},
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.

Abstract = {The majority of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) developers are

various statistical measures, and leverage Bayesian networks to study
the patterns of contribution of 502 developers in both Version Control
System (VCS) and mailing list repositories in 20 GNOME projects. Our
findings shows that only a small percentage of developers are
contributing to both repositories and this cohort is making more commits
than they are posting messages to mailing lists. The implications of
these findings for understanding the patterns of contribution in FOSS
projects and on the quality of the final product are discussed. (C) 2013

Title = {Effect of environmental and socioeconomic factors on the use of dental
floss among children: a hierarchical approach},
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

collect data related to practices and elements in the development
process of companies that influence the trust in the quality of the
product by potential adopters. The work is part of the research done
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.},

Year = {2013},
Volume = {6},

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.},

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.},

understand OSS peer review processes, very little is known. Unlike
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
network structure, affect technology adoption. 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.},

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.},

Abstract = {Now, the telecom service providers are faced with significant challenges
as the traditional separated network and service become converged,
Customers move to care more about the quality of service, such as the

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.},

mixtures},
Journal = {COMBUSTION AND FLAME},
Year = {2021},
Volume = {227},
Pages = {11-26},
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 = {Many developers and researchers related with Operational Support System
(OSS) have interested in the Next Generation OSS (NGOSS) architecture.
In Next Generation Network (NGN) service environment, the OSS must
support service delivery, assurance, and network management across
multi-technology and multi-domain communication networks. Also, NGOSS
support Business-To-Business (B2B) collaboration activity, and
Business-To-Customer (B2C) activity. To achieve those, this paper will
proposes a XML-based business activity integration framework using web
service and workflow-based business process automation framework. The
proposed two frameworks will provide a highly distributed, loosely
coupled, and open-standard based system design methodology for the
business oriented architecture, NGOSS.},

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.},

Abstract = {This paper describes how software developers who use mailing lists to
communicate reacted and adjusted to a new supplementary collaboration
tool, called a pastebin service. Using publicly-available archives of
8800 mailing lists, we examine the adoption of the pastebin tool by
software developers and compare it to the model presented in Diffusion
of Innovation (DoI) theory. We then compare the rate at which software
developers decided whether to accept or reject the new pastebin tools.
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
accepting or rejecting them.},

Abstract = {The attraction of new developers is a key challenge for initiatives
developing Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS). 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.},
