Open Source without Free-Riding
2012
Considerable investments in Open Source software projects have been made in the last years by competing firms who could have free-ridden on the others' efforts. We identify two properties, one of decreasing returns to knowledge production and the other of preference for differentiated products in a monopolistically competitive market, which explain the phenomenon.
Redefinición crítica y apertura del sistema educativo universitario a las nuevas posibilidades de aprendizaje en el marco de las TIC
2005
En estos comienzos del siglo XXI, en el marco de un entorno afectado por una profunda revolución tecnológica, parece apuntarse un cambio radical también dentro del paradigma educativo. Desde que aparecieron los ordenadores, los investigadores se están esmerando en usar las novedosas tecnologías de la información para perfeccionar el aprendizaje. Las nuevas tecnologías permiten definir un entorno virtual no constreñido a la dimensión espacial del aula, puesto que no obligan a la presencialidad y sincronía de emisores y receptores. La experiencia está demostrando que hay que afinar mucho más en las opciones estratégicas sobre la nuevas tecnologías de cara a obtener calidad e interacción en el…
Challenges and Trends in Home Automation
2021
Home automation (HA) systems can be considered as an implementation of the internet of everything (IoE) where many devices are linked by intelligent connections in order to improve the quality of life at home. This chapter is dedicated to analyzing current trends and challenges in HA. Energy management, safer homes, and improved control over the house are some of the benefits of HA. However, privacy, security, social disruption, installation/maintenance issues, economic costs, market fragmentation, and low interoperability represent real problems of these IoE solutions. In this regard, the latest proposals in HA try to answer some of these needs with low-cost DIY solutions, wireless solutio…
Playing with maths: GeoGebra application for meaningful education
2014
This paper is about a mini-course that we developed to train teachers, how to teach basic mathematic concepts to their students by relating those concepts to a popular game like "Candy Crush". In order to facilitate this process, we used GeoGebra, a free and open source application that is frequently used for teaching mathematics. The Mini-Course is being delivered through a WordPress platform. This idea may be extended, afterwards, to other mathematical concepts and other games.
Specialized Applications Used in the Mobile Application Security Implementation Process
2020
In the paper, authors aim to determine the extent to which open source applications can replace specialized security applications for mobile applications. In this respect, open source components are selected at which level the implemented security features are identified, based on which a completeness-determining indicator is calculated. The value of this indicator is then compared to the value obtained for the .NET CF3 framework, with a hierarchy of the components being treated according to this indicator. Based on the same selected components or components derived from them, to which other components have been added, the issue of ensuring their quality is dealt with by calculating the com…
TLMCO-simulation for an open source MPSOC platform under STARSoC environment
2008
In the last decade, the embedded systems become more and more complex. This complexity is due to the fact that these systems contain more heterogeneous hardware and software components (CPUpsilas, DSP, IP, etc.). Such systems called multiprocessor-on-chip (MPSoC) require new design approaches in order to satisfy several constraints, verification time, cost and time to market.

A Systemic Review with Visualization using Adjutant: Application in Case of Febrile Seizure Research
2020
Febrile seizures (FS) on pediatric age is challenging because it’s higher incidence and recurrence as neurologic disorder in childhood. Our study show an approach to perform a systemic, in-depth, updated review analysis with visualization on current knowledge about febrile seizure. We performed a literature search of Pub Med research articles related to febrile seizure that were published until August 2020. The automated search was conducted using R open source package Adjutant with the following query terms: “febrile AND (seizures OR convuls*)”. The search resulted in 8200 documents corpus and 45 cluster topics. This kind of analysis and visualization could be useful for practitioners and …
Balancing on a tightrope: Managing the boundaries of a firm-sponsored OSS community and its impact on innovation and absorptive capacity
2014
Realizing the innovation potential of OSS communities, firms now create or sponsor their own open source software (OSS) communities, generally as part of an open innovation strategy. However, maximizing the innovation capability of a sponsored OSS community is a challenging task since firms cannot rely on traditional hierarchical authority to control community members. Furthermore, a firm's efforts to manage its sponsored community may also impact the firm's absorptive capacity, or its ability to effectively absorb and leverage the valuable knowledge created by the community. Thus, the purpose of this article is to investigate two research questions: 1) How does the boundary management of a…
A Dynamic Model of Open Source Vs Proprietary R&D
2017
Abstract We propose a dynamic model in which firms compete to produce sequential and cumulative innovations, and in which the more firms do research in one sector the more likely it is that one of them innovates. Firms choose research effort and whether to patent innovations or to use an Open Source license like the General Public License. We show that ( i ) patents generate a larger stationary reward but foreclose research within a sector, and that ( ii ) Open Source generates a smaller stationary reward but allows everyone to use the technology, and therefore, by attracting firms to the sector, it induces a faster pace of innovation. We characterize all the equilibria of the model and sho…
