Purpose - The development and implementation of OSS (Open Source Software) led to a dramatic change in corporate IT infrastructure, from system server to smart phone, because the performance, reliability, and security functions of OSS are comparable to those of commercial software. Today, OSS has become an indispensable tool to cope with the competitive business environment and the constantly-evolving IT environment. However, the use of OSS is insufficient in small and medium-sized companies and software houses. This study examines the need for OSS Intermediaries in the Software Distribution Channel. It is expected that the role of the OSS Intermediary will be reduced with the improvement of the distribution process. The purpose of this research is to prove that OSS Intermediaries increase the efficiency of the software distribution market. Research design, Data, and Methodology - This study presents the analysis of data gathered online to determine the extent of the impact of the intermediaries on the OSS market. Data was collected using an online survey, conducted by building a personal search robot (web crawler). The survey period lasted 9 days during which a total of 233,021 data points were gathered from sourceforge.net and Apple's App store, the two most popular software intermediaries in the world. The data collected was analyzed using Google's Motion Chart. Results - The study found that, beginning 2006, the production of OSS in the Sourceforge.net increased rapidly across the board, but in the second half of 2009, it dropped sharply. There are many events that can explain this causality; however, we found an appropriate event to explain the effect. It was seen that during the same period of time, the monthly production of OSS in the App store was increasing quickly. The App store showed a contrasting trend to software production. Our follow-up analysis suggests that appropriate intermediaries like App store can enlarge the OSS market. The increase was caused by the appearance of B2C software intermediaries like App store. The results imply that OSS intermediaries can accelerate OSS software distribution, while development of a better online market is critical for corporate users. Conclusion - In this study, we analyzed 233,021 data points on the online software marketplace at Sourceforge.net. It indicates that OSS Intermediaries are needed in the software distribution market for its vitality. It is also critical that OSS intermediaries should satisfy certain qualifications to play a key role as market makers. This study has several interesting implications. One implication of this research is that the OSS intermediary should make an effort to create a complementary relationship between OSS and Proprietary Software. The second implication is that the OSS intermediary must possess a business model that shares the benefits with all the participants (developer, intermediary, and users).The third implication is that the intermediary provides an OSS of high quality like proprietary software with a high level of complexity. Thus, it is worthwhile to examine this study, which proves that the open source software intermediaries are essential in the software distribution channel.

압축 유동하에서 측정된 시멘트 페이스트의 수직 응력은 변형률의 증가에 따라 변형률이 0.0003에서 0.003 사이 구간인 탄성 고체 구간과 변형률이 0.003에서 0.8 사이 구간인 변형률 경화 구간으로 나누어진다. 두 구간 중 변형률 경화 영역에서 유변학적 특성을 분석하기 위해 모델링 식이 제안되었다. 첫째, 유체 거동의 관점에서, 지수법칙 일관성 지수 m=700 및 멱지수 n=0.2를 갖는 지수법칙 비뉴토니언 모델이 적용되었다. 적용 결과는 탄성 고체 구간을 제외하고는 실험 결과와 좋은 일치를 보여주었다. 둘째, 연성 고체 거동의 관점에서 힘 평형 모델이 적용되었으며, 하중을 측정하는 센서부와 시멘트 페이스트 표면 간의 마찰 계수가 실험데이터에 반구간탐색법을 적용하여 변형률의 다항식으로 도출되었다. 적용 결과는 변형률이 0.003에서 0.3 사이 구간인 중간 영역에서만 실험 결과와 좋은 일치를 보여주었다. 따라서, 압축 유동 하의 시멘트 페이스트의 유변학적 거동은 변형률 경화 구간에서 연성 고체 거동의 관점보다는 지수법칙 비뉴토니언 유체 거동의 관점에서 실험 결과와 더 일치함을 보여주었다.
