Open Source & Research
- 1. Brussels, 2010 Open Source Software inan Academic Environment Developing, Supporting and Integrating Diogo Gomes <dgomes@ av.it.pt>
- 4. Peer-Review
- 5. Open Access
- 6. It is therefore natural that important Open Source projects started in Academic Environments, e.g.
- 7. Stallman started GNU while at MIT
- 8. Linus started Linux while at HUT
- 10. It gives researchers open access to important technologies, e.g.
- 11. Network Simulators (NS, OMNET++)
- 12. Database Systems (MySQL, PostgreSQ, CouchDB)
- 13. Mobile Platforms (Android, MeeGo)
- 14. And they give it back to the Open Source Community, e.g.
- 15. Developing (Diameter, Linux IPv6 stack)
- 16. Supporting (hosting, patching, enhancing)
- 18. By interacting with an existing OSS project
- 19. Through collaboration with an established OSS project
- 21. Mostly out of need…
- 22. In order to achieve a given research goal, the need usually arises to develop a given technology
- 23. Due to lack of an affordable alternative
- 25. Msc and Phd thesis
- 27. Timeframes
- 28. Short to Medium
- 29. 1 Developer (Msc/Phd student)
- 30. Medium to Long
- 31. >2 Developers
- 32. Community formed around the project
- 34. The vitality of the project (#commits, #bug fixes)
- 35. The level of documentation
- 36. The size of its community (not just #devs)
- 37. The amount of visibility given to (articles, website references)
- 38. Supported given by Univ. Aveiro to OSS projects:
- 39. GLUA (Univ. Aveiro Linux User Group)
- 40. Seeding a community of OSS enthusiasts
- 41. CodeUA
- 42. A platform for project hosting (similar to SF.net, Google Code)
- 43. Fostering young students to join research projects as OSS developers
- 45. Many of the partnerships established by the Academia with Industry partners in which there is a transfer of knowledge involve OSS projects previously developed by the Academia.
- 46. Integrating OSS into existing products
- 47. Rapid Prototype creation through the use of OSS
- 48. OSS is mostly used as a common ground in consortiums with legal issues regarding software licenses
- 50. COPSpp – IETF COPS protocol implementation
- 51. MRD6 – Multicast Routing Daemon for IPv6
- 52. Odtone – IEEE 802.21 protocol implementation
- 53. PMIPv6 – IETF Proxy Mobile IP Protocol Implementation (ongoing)
- 54. Licenses
- 55. We have used GNU Lesser General Public License in all projects
- 56. Feedback from the community
- 57. MRD6 has evolved into part of the Debian distribution.
- 58. Odtone is widely accepted by the IEEE802.21 community as a reference implementation OSS @ University of Aveiro
- 60. Integration
- 61. Linux, MIPL, Gstreamer, OpenIMS, Sailfin, Android
- 62. Development
- 65. Some projects required that we explained to partners the rules of OSS
- 66. Release of code developed in the project as OSS, enabled a better dissemination of the project results, leading to several internal follow-up projects.
- 68. Developing, Supporting and Integration OSS is a challenging task but also a very fruitful one
- 69. Students are early engaged with real life software development problems and challenges
- 70. Many resources are spent supporting the projects
- 71. OSS projects usually lead to a better dissemination of ideas and accomplishments then just academic publications
- 72. Research Projects take advantage of the existence of OSS to quickly bootstrap
- 73. Many OSS Projects lead to new companies and businesses.
- 74. The University of Aveiro has already fostered several OSS projects and continues to support students and researchers that wish to develop and release OSS.
Notas do Editor
- By interacting with an existing OSS projectThrough collaboration with an established OSS project (providing feedback: bug reporting, patches)Forking a project (choosing a different objective from the original project)Mostly out of need…In order to achieve a given research goal, the need usually arises to develop a given technology (new protocol, new library, new framework)Due to lack of an affordable alternative (commercial solution costs)Due to the limitation of an already existing software (deprecated software, lack of hardware support)
- Students are usually required to provide a prototype that ultimately becomes an OSS.ProjectsIn order to accomplish the project goal, several OSS projects are usually integrated to jumpstartSome of the results of projects are disseminated through OSSTimeframesShort to MediumProjects usually run for the duration of the Msc, Phd or Project, with a dedicated developerMedium to LongA community is formed around the project that takes it to the next levelNew students pickup on what was previously accomplished
- GPL:requires derived works to be available under the same license termsThe LGPL places copyleft restrictions on the program itself but does not apply these restrictions to other software that merely links with the program.
- EU Projects 2 of these OSS projects have been developed in the scope of FP6 and FP7 Projects
