Open Source Software (OSS) is increasingly used in ComponentBased Software Development (CBSD) of large software systems. An important issue in CBSD is selection of suitable components. Various OSS selection methods have been proposed, but most of them do not consider the software architecture aspects of OSS products. The Software Architecture (SA) research community refers to a product’s archit...

Open source software (OSS) has drawn increasing attention from both practitioners and researchers in recent years. However, few empirical studies have investigated the interaction process of OSS teams during OSS development. This research has two primary objectives. The first is to study the social structure of OSS teams. The second is to investigate the factors impacting the social structure o...

Open source software (OSS) has achieved great success and exerted significant impact on the software industry. OSS development takes online community as its organizational form, and developers voluntarily work for the project. In the project execution process, control aligns individual behaviors toward the organizational goals via the Internet and becomes critical to the success of OSS projects...

Open source software (OSS) is becoming increasingly popular in several aspects of software engineering activities, ranging from using OSS for development or execution environments to incorporating OSS directly into developed products. OSS and its development projects differ from proprietary software and closed source projects in several aspects. Therefore, these aspects should be known and anal...

Using data from in-depth interviews and Delphi method on Open Source Software (OSS) contributors, this study uses a social constructivist and feminist perspective model to investigate the gender’s contribution in OSS innovation process. The results show that both male and female contributors have their preferences in term of roles and contributions in OSS. The type of contributions varies from ...

In assessing test process maturity, one of the goals is to manage disciplinary issues. Managing corrective actions to closure is known to aid software quality assurance, in general, and testing process activities, in particular. In this paper, a framework for software testing assessment, namely OSS-TPA, that aims to evaluate corrective actions in OSS test process, is proposed. The OSS-TPA frame...

introduction : preservation of bone volume immediately after tooth removal might be necessary to optimize the success of implant placement. the aim of this study was to compare bone dimensional changes following tooth extraction without bio-oss and with bio-oss and a collagen membrane in the dental socket. materials and methods: in this experimental interventional study, thirty subjects who req...

This paper analyzes the relation between OSS (Open Source Software) use and the performance of Japanese information service industry. We first estimate the market value of OSS, an issue which only a few studies have specifically addressed. The results are then used to analyze the economic effect of OSS. Although our study has some methodological limitations regarding the calculation of the mark...

The unlimited number of open-source software (OSS) users and the importance of end users’ experience in determining software quality make usability an even more critical quality attribute for OSS than it is for proprietary software. The research model of this study establishes the relationship between usability errors in OSS and online public forums. The results of this empirical analysis provi...
