  • Participants in Open Source Software (OSS) development projects usually contribute voluntarily without expecting direct compensation for their work. One of the central puzzles raised by the success of OSS is the motivation of the participants; why top-notch programmers choose to write software that is released for no fee. In order to respond to this peculiarity employing a meta-research method, we first identify and review theoretical perspectives from diverse disciplines including economics, sociology, political science, anthropology, psychology, and management. Then, we suggest a comprehensive framework that provides a holistic understanding of the puzzle in question. Reviewing key empirical studies based on the suggested framework, we also suggest a future research agenda.

  • Anomalously high ionic mobilities of H+ and $OH^-$ are owing to the transfer of $H^+$ by the Grotthus chain mechanism. Molecular dynamics simulations for the system of 215 water including $OH^-$ ion at 298.15 K using the OSS2 model [J. Chem. Phys. 109, 5547 (1998)] as a dissociable water model with the use of Ewald summation were carried out in order to study the dynamics of $OH^-$ in water. The calculated ionic mobility of $OH^-$ is in good agreement with the experimental result and the Grotthus chain mechanism is fully understood.

  • The paper describes the status and context of the Chinese Open Source Software (OSS) industry and ecosystem based on the analysis of the components of the China OSS Promotion Union. The analysis involves comparisons of several main Chinese developers of Linux operating system and makers of open source counterpart of the popular Microsoft Office package as well as several main Chinese OSS communities. Comparisons concern the technological and business aspect. The findings reveal peculiarities of the divergence of innovative activities of Chinese companies, as well as indicate that the strong government support may at the same time limit the technology selection under rigid competition, especially as foreign open source companies are found to be more focused on hobbyist developers and are able to maintain larger independent communities. Implications of the paper include the need to coordinate global development efforts and adjust science & technology policies in order to stimulate both the development and the diffusion of open source among Chinese companies and individual hobbyists.

  • 오픈 소스 소프트웨어에 대한 관심과 함께 많은 연구가 진행 중이며, 오픈 소스 소프트웨어 개발을 지원하는 커뮤니티도 다수 존재하고 있다. 오픈 소스를 활용한 개발비용을 예측을 위해선 오픈 소스의 개발 기간을 예측하여야 하지만, OSS 개발 방법에는 개발 기간을 산정하는 것이 미비하다. 그리하여 본 연구에서는 OSS 커뮤니티에서 개발기간을 산정하는 것에 대하여 XP 개발 방법의 사용자 스토리 카드를 이용한 산정법을 적용하여 활용하는 연구를 하고자 한다. 이를 위해, XP의 산정법을 OSS 커뮤니티에 적합하게 수정하였다. 또한 제안한 방법을 실제 SourceForge.net의 프로젝트 중 버그와 추가사항의 기록이 많은 프로젝트에 적용하여 그 가능성을 입증하였다.

  • Open Source Software Development (OSSD) differentiates itself from traditional closed software development in that it reveals its source codes online and allows anyone to participate in projects. Even though its success was in doubt, many of the open collaborative working models produced successful results. Academia started to get interested in how developers are willing to participate even when there are no extrinsic rewards for their efforts. Many studies tried to explain developers' motivations, and the pursuit of ideology, reputation, and altruism are found to be the answers. Those studies, however, focused mostly on how the first contribution is made out of a certain motivation. Nowadays, OSSD reaches at its maturity and 70% of professional developers have used or utilized open source software or code in their works. As the proportion of people experiencing OSS, the accounts from previous studies are expected to be weakened. Also, extant literature fails to explain how the motivation of participating in OSS evolves over time and experiences. Given that changing over time or over experiences is the natural in the perception of motivation, studies in an attempt to understand how the motivation changes or evolves are in need. In this study, we aimed to explain how the perception about OSS from past usage or related experiences leads to the intention to sustain OSS participations. By doing so, we try to bridge the gap between previous studies and the actual phenomenon. We argued that perceived instrumentality about OSS learned from past experiences will first affect the formation of organizational identity towards general OSS community. And once the organizational identity is formed, it will affect the one's following behaviors related to OSS development, most likely to sustain the favoring stance toward OSS community. Our research distinguishes itself from previous one in that it divides the paths from organizational identity formed to the intention to sustain the voluntary helping behaviors, by altruistic and conforming intentions. Drawing on this structural model, we could explain how organizational identity engages in forming the sustaining intention from past experiences, and that the intention to help at individual level and organizational level works at different level in OSS community. We grounded our arguments on Social identity theory and Organizational Citizenship theory. We examined our assumption by constructing a structural equation model (SEM) and had 88 developers to answer our online surveys. The result is analyzed by PLS (partial least square) method. Consequently, all paths but one in our model are supported, the one which assumed the association between perceived instrumentality and altruistic intention. Our results provide directions in designing online collaborative platforms where open access collaboration is meant to occur. Theoretically, our study suggests that organizational citizenship behavior can occur from organizational identity, even in bottom-up organizational settings. More specifically, we also argue to consider both organizational level and individual level of motivation in inducing sustained participations within the platforms. Our result can be interpreted to indicate the importance of forming organizational identity in sustaining the participatory behaviors. It is because there was no direct association between perceived instrumentality from past experiences and altruistic behavior, but the perception of organizational identity bridges the two constructs. This means that people with no organizational identity can sustain their participations through conforming intention from only the perception of instrumentality, but it needs little more than that for the people to feel the intention to directly help someone in the community-first to form the self-identity as a member of the given community.

  • 지식 정보화 시대에 대표적인 고부가가치 산업으로서 소프트웨어 산업에 대한 중요성이 증대되고 있으며, 그 중에서도 오픈소스 소프트웨어는 소스코드 공개, 자유로운 수정과 배포, 공급업체에 대한 의존성 탈피, 비용 절감과 같은 이점을 바탕으로 빠르게 활동 영역을 확장해가고 있다. 특히, 오픈소스 소프트웨어는 클라우드, 사물인터넷, 인공지능, 빅데이터 등과 같은 새로운 정보기술과 접목하여 활용도가 높을 것으로 예상되고 소프트웨어의 신기술 발전을 주도할 수 있다는 점에서 다양한 긍정적인 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 전망되고 있다. 글로벌 IT 기업들은 이러한 오픈소스 소프트웨어를 비즈니스 혁신을 위해 적극적으로 활용하고 있으며 국내에서도 오픈소스 소프트웨어를 활성화하기 위한 관련정책과 기업들의 노력이 이어지고 있다. 오픈소스 소프트웨어가 주목 받음에 따라 이와 관련된 연구도 활발하게 진행되고 있으나 조직들이 어떠한 이유로 기존의 비공개 소프트웨어에서 오픈소스 소프트웨어로 전환하게 되는가에 하는 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 인간의 이주행동을 설명하는데 유용한 이론적 틀로 알려진 Push-Pull-Mooring 프레임워크를 기반으로 오픈소스 소프트웨어로의 전환에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 제안하고 그 관계를 실증분석을 통해 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 관련 기업에서 수집된 총 268부를 바탕으로 본 연구에서 제안한 연구모형의 가설을 검증하였다. 연구결과, push 요소인 지속적 유지비용, 벤더 의존성, 기능적 무차별성, SW 자원의 비효율성, 그리고 pull 요소인 네트워크 기반지원, 시험 가능성, 전략적 유연성이 오픈소스 소프트웨어 전환에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났지만, 지식수준향상은 유의 하지 않은 것으로 판명 되었다. 또한, Mooring 효과로 관리자의 SW 경쟁력 확보의지는 push와 pull요소 중 지식수준향상과 OSS 전환 관계를 제외한 모든 관계를 강화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 오픈소스 소프트웨어에 대한 연구를 확장할 수 있는 기반을 제공하고 관련 기업들에게 OSS로의 전환에 대한 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

  • Purpose: Deproteinized bovine bone or synthetic hydroxyapatite are 2 prevalent bone grafting materials used in the clinical treatment of peri-implant bone defects. However, the differences in bone formation among these materials remain unclear. This study evaluated osteogenesis kinetics in peri-implant defects using 2 types of deproteinized bovine bone (Bio-Oss® and Bio-Oss/Collagen®) and 2 types of synthetic hydroxyapatite (Apaceram-AX® and Refit®). We considered factors including newly generated bone volume; bone, osteoid, and material occupancy; and bone-to-implant contact. Methods: A beagle model with a mandibular defect was created by extracting the bilateral mandibular third and fourth premolars. Simultaneously, an implant was inserted into the defect, and the space between the implant and the surrounding bone walls was filled with Bio-Oss, Bio-Oss/Collagen, Apaceram-AX, Refit, or autologous bone. Micro-computed tomography and histological analyses were conducted at 3 and 6 months postoperatively (Refit and autologous bone were not included at the 6-month time point due to their rapid absorption). Results: All materials demonstrated excellent biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. At 3 months, Bio-Oss and Apaceram-AX exhibited significantly greater volumes of formation than the other materials, with Bio-Oss having a marginally higher amount. However, this outcome was reversed at 6 months, with no significant difference between the 2 materials at either time point. Apaceram-AX displayed notably slower bioresorption and the largest quantity of residual material at both time points. In contrast, Refit had significantly greater bioresorption, with complete resorption and rapid maturation involving cortical bone formation at the crest at 3 months, Refit demonstrated the highest mineralized tissue and osteoid occupancy after 3 months, albeit without statistical significance. Conclusions: Overall, the materials demonstrated varying post-implantation behaviors in vivo. Thus, in a clinical setting, both the properties of these materials and the specific conditions of the defects needing reinforcement should be considered to identify the most suitable material.
