Three Strategies for Open Source Deployment: Substitution, Innovation, and Knowledge Reuse

As open source software adoption becomes mainstream, the question shifts from whether organizations should use open source, to how organizations can best deploy and use open source. Based on three distinct types of organizational outcomes for open source use, we propose three different strategies for deploying open source: a substitution strategy, an innovation strategy, and a knowledge reuse s...

ICT Standardization Strategies and Service Innovation in Health Care

Standards have played an important, but often unrecognized role in the development of modern organizations. This role is accentuated by today's growth of large business and government infrastructures, in the turbulent processes of globalization. In this article we investigate the relationships and tensions – between standardization strategies and service innovation in the health care sector. Ou...

Automatic Grid Service Deployment

This article provides an overview of the current Grid Service deployment problems and proposes a general multi layer architecture for service deployment solutions based on the previously published specialised and partially defined ones. From the architectural point of view a service could be a legacy code wrapped to a service oriented environment, a Web service or a Grid service.

Middleware Integration and Deployment Strategies for Cyberinfrastructures

Virtual Organizations require infrastructure that meets their scientific needs. Traditionally, a VO can require access to computational backends that are suited for interactive applications, various levels of parallelism or highly distributed systems where users can contribute their own cycles. In this paper, we present a middleware integration and deployment strategy that builds a VO architect...
