Using Roles for OSS Adoption Strategy Models

Dolors Costal, Lidia López, Xavier Franch

Abstract. Increasing adoption of Open Source Software (OSS) in information system engineering has led to the emergence of different OSS adoption strategies that affect and shape organizations’ business models. OSS adoption strategies can be operationalized by i* models describing the consequences of choosing each strategy. When an organization decides to adopt an OSS component, it becomes a part of the OSS ecosystem around this component. Therefore, OSS adoption strategy models need to be structured in the way to explicitly describe the role of the adopter organization within the OSS ecosystem, which may be quite different depending on the level of compromise that the organization prefers. Making visible the roles played by the different agents involved in the OSS ecosystem, the involvement of the organization in the OSS community arises naturally. This paper includes a set of roles that emerge in an OSS ecosystem and their responsibilities, and describes the issues behind the fact of using the i* role and plays constructs.

Mobility4all won the iCity Contest

Learning about Mobility4all team

Mobility4all, the winner app at the iCity Contest, was developed by a team of three students of Computer Engineering Faculty at the University Politechnic of Catalonia and three Phd in computer science from the same university. Marc Garnica, Manish Thani, Samuel Bryan, all of them from Barcelona, are the students who played as developers. Xavier Franch is senior lecturer at the University Politechnic of Catalonia and was the one who think up the app, although had Lidia’s López help, researcher at the same university. Finally, Cristina Gómez is associate professor and the coordinator of the students’ work.

RISCOSS:  Gestión del riesgo en proyectos Open Source 

Presentación de la metodología de gestión de riesgos en la adopción de proyectos OSS y la plataforma software que integra toda la cadena de toma de decisiones, teneinendo en cuenta criterios tecnológicos y estratégicos. Incluyendo métodos para identificar, gestionar y mitigar riesgos asociados con la integración de software open source. El proyecto RISCOSS (FP7) provee una solución completa para habilitar que los desarrolladores de producto integren de manera segura software open source en sus desarrollos. La comunidad RISCOSS está abierta a contribuciones de terceros, para permitir el desarollo continuo tanto de la plataforma como de las metodologias, juntamente con los servicios y el producto comercial.
