Democratizing Business Software: Small Business Ecosystems for Open Source Applications

Improving Open-Source Photogrammetric Workflows for Processing Big Datasets

Photogrammetric techniques are used for the generation of point cloud data. Multiple images acquired with photo cameras are processed into dense point clouds using photogrammetric workflows. These are normally based on a basic photogrammetric workflow with three steps: tiepoints detection; estimation of camera positions and orientations and of calibration parameters; and dense-matching point cl...

Open Source Software for Entertainment

In this tutorial, we explore open source software practices and tools that are suitable for a growing number of creators of interactive and playful systems. The introduction of open source tools such as Processing and Arduino has motivated a broader participation of technical and non-technical users in the creative production of interactive systems. Maker communities meet regularly and they sha...

A Robust Open Source Exchange for Open Source Software Development

This paper addresses the development of mechanisms for the creation of OSSD exchanges that could be used by developers across any geographical range, as long as all the developers can interact via some open network infrastructure such as the Internet. The structure of these exchanges can range from public repositories such as Sourceforge.net to intra-organizational forums for software developme...

Open-source Security Software Security for Open-source Systems

S ome people have claimed that open-source software is intrinsically more secure than closed source, 1 and others have claimed that it's not. 2 Neither case is absolutely true: they are essentially flip sides of the same coin. Open source gives both attackers and defenders greater analytic power to do something about software vulnerabilities. If the defender does nothing about security, though,...
