Analysis of Open Source Simulation Applications

Open Source Systems Applications

Henry Bros. Electronics (HBE) has been deploying a wide variety of open source systems over the last two years. These systems touch every aspect of the business including sales lead tracking, time reporting, and asset management. Open source systems are also used for the company’s internal portal and a client-facing reporting engine. Some of the company’s file servers are deployed using open so...

Qualitative Analysis and Simulation of Open Source Software Evolution

Background and motivation In previous work [Ramil & Smith 2002; Smith & Ramil 2003] we applied qualitative simulation methods to model the evolutionary trends of a set of five commercial software systems. In that study, we concluded that qualitative simulation and qualitative abstraction were useful tools for breaching the gap between empirical generalisations in natural language, such as Lehma...

Agent-based simulation of open source evolution

We present an agent-based simulation model developed to study how size, complexity and effort relate to each other in the development of open source software (OSS). In the model, many developer agents generate, extend, and refactor code modules independently and in parallel. This accords with empirical observations of OSS development. To our knowledge, this is the first model of OSS evolution t...
