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…

'Elizabeth Vu' 'Scott Markel'] Scientific research increasingly relies on open source software (OSS). Funding OSS development requires intentional focus on issues of scholarly credit, unique forms of labor, maintenance, governance, and inclusive community-building. Such issues cut across different scientific…

'Vladimir Filkov' 'Seth Frey'] Open Source Software (OSS) communities often resist regulation typical of traditional organizations. Yet formal governance systems are being increasingly adopted among communities, particularly through non-profit mentor foundations. Our study looks at the Apache Software Foundation…

This paper1 proposes a new metric for software functional size, which is derived from Function Point Analysis (FPA), but overcomes some of its known deficiencies. The statistical results show that the new metric, Functional Elements (EF), and its submetric, Functional Elements of Transaction (EFt), have higher…

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…

There is a general consensus that SOA benefits could be reached but it is unclear how to achieve this. Research shows that the problems with SOA governance in practice are among the major reasons of SOA failures. Based on a literature review, this study first proposes a list of SOA aspects to be considered when…

'Logamurugan V' 'Smita Ghaisas'] Contract governance ensures that the agreed outcomes between customers and vendors are fulfilled. Information Technology (IT) outsourcing organizations enter thousands of contractual relationships each month leading to a high volume of business-critical contractual text that must be…

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…

'Magdala de Araújo Novaes' 'César A. D. C. do Nascimento'] This paper presents the basis of the Agile Governance in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), which is based on Agile Software Engineering Methodologies principles and values. Its development was done through a systematic review process, supported by…

Most aspects of our lives are governed by large, highly developed institutions that integrate several governance tasks under one authority structure. But theorists differ as to the mechanisms that drive the development of such concentrated governance systems from rudimentary beginnings. Is the emergence of integrated…

Communicable disease surveillance and response systems are designed to monitor, detect, and respond to health threats and are influenced by a myriad of factors. To explain the gaps in governance of the public health surveillance in NQ, this study identified a combination of hardware features related to poor and…

Social purpose initiatives rarely take place in only one sector or policy domain. They are likely to cross sector, community, local, and national interests and, in so doing, require alternative governance arrangements that are responsive and sustainable. This article focuses on the process of forging such governance…

Computational biology has provided widely used and powerful software tools for testing and making inferences about biological data. In the face of increasing volumes of data, heuristic methods that trade software speed for mathematical completeness must be employed. We are interested in whether trade-offs between speed…

The past decade has seen widespread advances in quality control (QC) materials and software tools focused specifically on mass spectrometry-based proteomics, yet the rate of adoption is inconsistent. Despite the fundamental importance of QC, it typically falls behind learning new techniques, instruments, or software.…

Biology is a quest; an ongoing inquiry about the nature of life. How do the different forms of life interact? What makes up an ecosystem? How does a tiny bacterium work? To answer these questions biologists turn increasingly to sophisticated computational tools. Many of these tools are highly configurable, allowing…
