In Open Source Software, the source code and any other resources available in a project can be viewed or reused by anyone subject to often permissive licensing restrictions. In contrast to some studies of dependency-based reuse supported…
In the rapidly evolving field of bioimaging, the integration and orchestration of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) image analysis workflows remains a challenge. We introduce BIOMERO, a bridge connecting OMERO, a…
Governments are increasingly employing funding for open source software (OSS) development as a policy lever to support the security of software supply chains, digital sovereignty, economic growth, and national competitiveness in science and…
Many research groups aspire to make data and code FAIR and reproducible, yet struggle because the data and code life cycles are disconnected, executable environments are often missing from published work, and technical skill requirements…
Addressing the challenges posed by climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental pollution requires comprehensive monitoring and effective data management strategies that are applicable across various scales in environmental system…
Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a popular meta-heuristic evolutionary algorithm that uses stochastic operators to find optimal solution and has proved its effectiveness in solving many complex optimization problems (such as classification,…
Free and open source software (FOSS) is considered by many, along with Wikipedia, the proof of an ongoing paradigm shift from hierarchically-managed and market-driven production of knowledge to heterarchical, collaborative and commons-based…
Software development companies are increasingly concerned about their impact on the environment. This is translated into the incorporation of actions related to software sustainability in their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)…
The FAIR Principles aim to make data and knowledge Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable, yet current digital infrastructures often lack a unifying semantic framework that bridges human cognition and machine-actionability. In…
Software applications integrate more and more open-source software (OSS) to benefit from code reuse. As a drawback, each vulnerability discovered in bundled OSS potentially affects the application. Upon the disclosure of every new…
The adoption of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in educational institutions is increasing day by day. Many countries are insisting the use of FOSS in their government sectors and few are in the process of adopting FOSS strategies. The…
We present OxonFair, a new open source toolkit for enforcing fairness in binary classification. Compared to existing toolkits: (i) We support NLP and Computer Vision classification as well as standard tabular problems. (ii) We support…
Previous work established that open source software (OSS) projects can benefit from the involvement of UX professionals, who offer user-centric perspectives and contributions to improve software usability. However, their participation in…
Sustainable software ecosystems are difficult to build, and require concerted effort, community norms and collaborations. In science it is especially important to establish communities in which faculty, staff, students and open-source…
Since their proposal in 2016, the FAIR principles have been largely discussed by different communities and initiatives involved in the development of infrastructures to enhance support for data findability, accessibility, interoperability,…
In application domains that are regulated, software vendors must maintain traceability links between the regulatory items and the code base implementing them. In this paper, we present a traceability approach based on the intuition that the…
Fairness of machine learning models in healthcare has drawn increasing attention from clinicians, researchers, and even at the highest level of government. On the other hand, the importance of developing and deploying interpretable or…
Background. As digital technologies increasingly shape social domains such as healthcare, public safety, entertainment, and education, software engineering has engaged with ethical and political concerns primarily through the notion of…
Currently, there is uncertainty surrounding the merits of open-source versus proprietary algorithm development. Though justification in favor of each exists, we argue that open-source algorithm development should be the standard in highly…
This is a position paper for Sharing, Re-Use and Circulation of Resources in Cooperative Scientific Work, a CSCW'14 workshop. It discusses the role of software in NSF's CIF21 vision and the SI2 program, which is intended to support that…
