About
Walt Scacchi will present findings from an ongoing empirical study of technical, organizational and other social processes that shape the development of free / open source software (F/OSS). Multiple software development ‘informalisms’ play a critical role in the elicitation, analysis, specification, validation, and management of the requirements and design of F/OSS. This presentation will focus on the roles such informalisms play in the development process.
This work is based on four research projects sponsored by the US National Science Foundation (see Open Source Software Development at the Institute for Software Research, University of Caifornia, Irvine).
