In today’s global knowledge-based economy, it is evident that knowledge, its accumulation and distribution, through institutions of human and social capital, plays an increasingly crucial role as a key factor in economic development. The production, distribution and processing of knowledge (especially scientific and technological) is increasingly performed within the domain of computational inf...

This article develops a model of open source disruption in enterprise software markets. It addresses the question: Is free and open source software (FOSS) likely to disrupt markets for commercial enterprise software? The conventional wisdom is that open source provision works best for low-level system-oriented technologies, while large, complex enterprise business applications are best served b...

We consider weak solutions of second order nonlinear elliptic systems in divergence form or of quasi-convex variational integrals with continuous coefficients under superquadratic growth conditions. Via the method of A-harmonic approximation we give a characterization of regular boundary points using and extending some new techniques recently developed by M. Foss & G. Mingione in [15].

In the mainstream adoption of free and open source software (FOSS), distribution editors play a crucial role: they package, integrate and distribute a wide variety of software, written in a variety of languages, for a variety of purposes of unprecedented breadth. Ensuring the quality of a FOSS distribution is a technical and engineering challenge, owing to the size and complexity of these distr...

The spatial metaphor can be used as a framework for exploration process, refine their information goals (Foss explaining and designing tools that alleviate disorientation problems in 1989a. Foss 1989b. McAleese 1989). . ~ ~ ~ , ~, hypertext systems. The approach based on this metaphor would involve The disorientation problem occurs when the user 'gets developing tools analogous to navigational ...

This research is spearheading the integration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and Open Source Hardware (OSHW) in the field of agri-meteorology applications to disaster risk reduction, flood and droughts. A Do-It-Yourself weather station based on OSHW standards has been developed from local sources in Sri Lanka, reporting by SMS to tank/reservoir managers when rainfall is higher than 10m...

We calculate the contributions arising at order αs in the QCD sum rule for the spin-symmetry violating universal function χ3(v ·v′), which appears at order 1/mQ in the heavy quark expansion of meson form factors. In particular, we derive the twoloop perturbative contribution to the sum rule. Over the kinematic range accessible in B → D(∗)l ν decays, we find that χ3(v · v) does not exceed the le...

A new generation of toolsets that are flexible enough to adapt the data analytics needs a given scenario is emerging analyze free, open source software (FOSS). GrimoireLab one such toolset meets many foundations, developers, and companies.

In a Coulomb fluid confined to a domain V , the dielectric susceptibility tensor χV depends on the shape of V , even in the thermodynamic V → ∞ limit. This paper deals with the classical two-dimensional one-component plasma formulated in an elliptic V -domain, equilibrium statistical mechanics is used. For the dimensionless coupling constant Γ = even positive integer, the mapping of the plasma ...
