Two large, open source software systems are analyzed from the vantage point of complex adaptive systems theory. For both systems, the full dependency graphs are constructed and their properties are shown to be consistent with the assumption of stochastic growth. In particular, the afferent links...

The paper deals with a training system with a client-server architecture created for students who are learning to design and implement object-oriented software systems with reusable components, and also targeting those users who wish become accustomed with (or improve their skills related to)...

Future wireless communication services will require a reconfigurable transmitter capable of switching between several modulation techniques. Reconfigurability could be achieved by defining the transmitter in software. To adapt to different wireless standard, future radios have to be implemented...

The logistics involved as a part of Supply Chain Management (SCM) demand the development of appropriate models to support decision making. In real life large business environment, the situation demands handling large-scale data and rapid development of models to process the same. These data may...

Traditional innovative efforts result in intellectualproperty and results that are controlled by private firms. In contrast,open-source projects yield data that is available for public use with certainrestrictions. Individuals and for-profit firms who contribute to open-sourceprojects must make...
