The 1st Workshop on Open Source in an Industrial Context (OSIC’03) 18th Annual ACM SIGPLAN
Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages, and
Applications (OOPSLA)
http://oopsla.acm.org/oopsla2003/ October 26-30, 2003
Anaheim Convention Center and Anaheim Hilton Anaheim, California, USA Open-Source software development moved into the focus of common interest a couple of years ago. By now, software engineers have learned a lot about the dos and don’ts which often proves useful even for industrial software development projects. And as the open-source concepts of mutual benefit are more and more understood by industrial developers as well as executives, new ways of successfully using, enhancing and creating Open-Source Software (OSS) are discovered. In this workshop, we were seeking position papers that help understanding the essential building blocks of industrial Open-Source Strategies. Topics were envisioned to include, but not be limited to: • all aspects of software processes (successful or not) • software development environments and tool kits • business models (e.g. for the roll-out of existing software as open-source) • technical infrastructure (e.g. portals) • strategies • social and organizational structures • license models and legal aspects • success stories and case studies Location: Anaheim Hilton, 4th Floor, Room "Palos Verdes B" Program committee: Prof. Dr. Manfred Broy was the first Dean of the Faculty of Computer Science at the Technische Universität München and is now managing the chair of “software and systems engineering”. Prof. Broy is author of over 160 scientific publications most of which focus on theoretical foundations of computer science, the art of software engineering or the effective and efficient integration of both. Besides, he is organizer of the International Summer School for young computer scientists and mathematicians, which is partially sponsored by the NATO Science Committee and is held every year at Marktoberdorf, Germany. Dr. Richard P. Gabriel, Sun Microsystems, Inc., is co-author (with Ron Goldman) of a forthcoming book from Morgan Kauffman on open source, called "Innovation Happens Elsewhere: How and Why a Company Should Participate in Open Source." He is the Chief Scientist of a small laboratory at Sun - the Laboratory for Mob Software - which studies the architecture and creation of massive, self-organizing software systems. Dr. Marc Sihling, 4Soft GmbH: After three successful years in a research project on development processes for component-based applications, Dr. Sihling co-founded the 4Soft GmbH in 1999. In the meantime, he finished his doctoral thesis on the composition of component frameworks and is now coordinating manager of a research project about open-source software. Prof. Dr. Thomas Wieland, FH Coburg represents the training areas of distributed systems, computer graphics and image processing at the University of Applied Sciences in Coburg and supports companies in questions of software architecture and supporting technologies. Prof. Wieland published numerous scientific papers as well as four books for Windows and Linux programming. The last one, "C++ development with Linux" was published in the dpunkt.verlag. In addition, he was editor-in-chief of the magazine "Linux Enterprise" from 2000 to 2001.
