Scientific discovery relies on innovative software as much as experimental methods, especially in proteomics, where computational tools are essential for mass spectrometer setup, data analysis, and interpretation. Since the introduction of SEQUEST, proteomics software has grown into a complex ecosystem of algorithms…

Open source software is becoming crucial in the design and testing of quantum algorithms. Many of the tools are backed by major commercial vendors with the goal to make it easier to develop quantum software: this mirrors how well-funded open machine learning frameworks enabled the development of complex models and…

Wer offene Lösungen einsetzen möchte, sieht sich einer Reihe von Fragen und Herausforderungen gegenüber. Nicht nur technische Aspekte, sondern vor allem zwischenmenschliche Faktoren und passende Regelungen sind dabei zu berücksichtigen. Das richtige „Mindset“ spielt eine zentrale Rolle. Mit ihm einher geht eine…

Background Innovation through an open source model has proven to be successful for software development. This success has led many to speculate if open source can be applied to other industries with similar success. We attempt to provide an understanding of open source software development characteristics for…

Open data for all New Yorkers – that is the tagline on New York City's open data website. Open government is being promoted at most countries of the western world. Governments' transparency levels are being measured by the amount of data they share through their online public repositories. Additionally, open source…

-Open Source Software (OSS) history is traced to initial efforts in 1971 at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lab, the initial goals of OSS around Free vs. Freedom, and its evolution and impact on commercial and custom applications. Through OSS history, much of the research and…

The global value of open source software is estimated to be in the billions or trillions worldwide 1 , but despite this, it is often under-resourced and subject to high-impact security vulnerabilities and stability failures 2,3 . In order to investigate factors contributing to open source community longevity, we…

'Yan Shvartzshnaider'] Centralization in code hosting and package management in the 2010s created fundamental shifts in the social arrangements of open source ecosystems. In a regime of centralized open source, platform effects can both empower and detract from communities depending on underlying technical…

The software industry's history is also its future. Its history has been defined by both abundance and scarcity, and its future will be, too. In the 1970s and 80s, perceived software scarcity led U.S. legislators to formally grant intellectual property protections to software creators. Later, a different kind of…

The increasing importance and predictive power of modern molecular modeling, driven by physics- and machine learning-based methods, necessitates a new collaborative architecture to replace the isolated, traditional model of software development. The traditional approach often led to redundant engineering effort, high…

According to different opponents and commercial giants in software industries, the open source style software development has enough capacity to complete successfully the large scale projects. But we have seen many flaws and loops in collaboration and handling of mega scale projects in open source environment. Perhaps…

'Gustavo Pinto'] Abstract Open source licenses create a legal framework that plays a crucial role in the widespread adoption of open source projects. Without a license, any source code available on the internet could not be openly (re)distributed. Although recent studies provide evidence that most popular open source…

The era of the PC platform left a legacy of competitive strategies for the future technologies to follow. However, this notion became more complicated, once the future grew out to be a present with huge bundle of innovative technologies, Internet capabilities, communication possibilities, and ease in life. A major step…

There is a multitude of licenses out there for a software developer to choose from, but a lot of programmers would prefer to not have to have a legal degree in order to understand them and would rather just have their code out in the public being used. This paper examines a few of the more popular and common software…

Open Science (OS) comprises a variety of practices and principles that are broadly intended to improve the quality and transparency of research, and the concept is gaining traction. Since OS has multiple facets and still lacks a unifying definition, it may be interpreted quite differently among practitioners. Moreover…

Software plays a crucial and growing role in research. Unfortunately, the computational component in Life Sciences research is challenging to reproduce and verify most of the time. It could be undocumented, opaque, may even contain unknown errors that affect the outcome, or be directly unavailable, and impossible to…
