MOTIVATION

Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is now a significant component in the software industry and is recognized as an important area of research within Software Engineering and related disciplines. The FOSS movement has a major impact on how organizations work and how individuals create, distribute, acquire and use software. FOSS development continues to grow, and its development model serves as a foundation for business, collaboration processes, software engineering practices, IT management. On the other hand, the movement has introduced new challenges, especially in relation to openness and the innovative nature of this development model.

This JISA Thematic Series seeks innovative contributions to research and development of Free and Open Source Software Development. The goal is to establish the state of the art for knowledge in this area, and define a research agenda for, creating a source of reference for researchers and practitioners. In this Thematic Series, we are seeking for original contributions of different types, including theoretical foundations, practical, empirical, and conceptual studies.
