In order to improve the development and quality of FLOSS, the OpenSource Maturity Model(OMM) has been proposed by the QualiPSo project. However, it is essential to check if it is effective. Therefore, this paper focuses on the research of OMM experiments approach to represent the experiment framework including the scope of the experiments, the subjects that took part, the tasks they performed, the...
By modifying Hotelling model, we research the differentiation decisions between open source software (OSS) and proprietary software (PS) and the location decisions of proprietary software when open source software and proprietary software coexist in a software market. In this paper, we assume proprietary software producer pursues profit maximization and open source software is freely available. The...
In recent years, the problem of open source is a very hot topic in software industries, however the studies about how open source software (OSS) affects competitive strategies of software industry are rare. Though expanding the classical Hotelling model, this paper investigates the product innovation decisions of proprietary software (PS) firm when open source software appears. In this paper, the...
Open source has impacted software industry since its birth. The magnitude of its impact is increasing day by day in a global scale. It is critical for any software vendor to take an appropriate position in the open-source-involved software engineering. The software engineering metrics needs a social dimension to cope with open-source-involved context. After more than a decade of open source activities,...
This paper presents FLOSSMetrics, a European Commission 6th Framework Programme- funded research project. The main objective of FLOSSMETRICS is to construct, publish and analyse a large scale database with information and metrics about libre software development coming from several thousands of software projects, using existing methodologies, and tools already developed. The project also provides...
This paper discusses the meaning of open source in an industrial context. Building a grounded theory from an industry-driven R&D project, our analysis shows that open source in an industrial context is multifaceted. We find that the meaning of open source must be established in the context of the individual organization.
This study investigated the history of free and open source software (FOSS), comparative analyzed notions of free software and open source software, further studied on support forces and development status of free and open source software. Based on comprehensive review, we aim to suggest that free and open source software has a very bright development prospects.
This paper firstly introduces the QualiPSo project, then it discusses ten knowledge creation principles for open source software (OSS) development. Finally three challenges for open source competence centers (OSCC) are put forward for discussion further. The ten knowledge creation principles are self-organizing, code sharing, dissemination and adaptation, ease of use, sustainability, talent, interaction,...
Many of today's most innovative products and solutions are developed on the basis of free and open source software (FOSS). Most of us can no longer imagine the world of software engineering without open source operating systems, databases, application servers, Web servers, frameworks, and tools. Brands such as Linux, MySQL, Apache, and Eclipse have shaped product and service development. They facilitate...
Many software engineering projects use open source software tools or components. The project team's active participation in the open source community may be necessary for the team to use the technology. Based on an in-depth field study of industry software engineering project students interacting with an open source community, we find that participation in the community may affect the team's work...
