Open-Source Code for Radium-Derived Ocean-Groundwater Modeling: Project Open RaDOM

The groundwater modeling tool for GRASS (GMTG): Open source groundwater flow modeling

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used to store, manipulate and visualize both spatial and non-spatial data. Because of their data manipulating capabilities, GIS have been linked to different simulation models in different research areas and are commonly used for both surface and ground water modeling. Unfortunately this has been done mainly with proprietary GIS which are expensive and w...

The Amos Project: an Approach to Reusing Open Source Code

Building reliable software products based on components whose properties are well established and understood is one of the key goals of component-based software development. There are some cases in which this approach has to face practical problems: for example, when code which has not been formally developed, but which is interesting, is needed, or when there is a very large number of componen...

Open Source Software Project Management

In this paper, the essential characteristics of software development projects in the open source environment are described. This model of freely distributed, highly decentralized, democratic software development with little management hierarchy, overhead, or salary compensation has made a revolution in the software industry. These open source projects, like typical commercial software projects,...

The Open Source Modellea Project

The Open Source Hardening Project

Storage systems such as file systems, databases, and RAID systems have a simple, basic contract: you give them data, they do not lose or corrupt it. Often they store the only copy, making its irrevocable loss almost arbitrarily bad. Unfortunately, their code is exceptionally hard to get right, since it must correctly recover from any crash at any program point, no matter how their state was sme...
