Dissertation: Creating Company-Led Open Source Consortia
Abstract: This thesis focuses on company-led open source (OS) consortia. Unlike community-led open source communities, company-led OS consortia are led by companies or organizations. Driver members of these consortia may include information technology firms or end-user companies from industries beyond the software sector. The objectives of this thesis are to identify the characteristics of company-led […]Abstract: This thesis focuses on company-led open source (OS) consortia.

Final Thesis: A Multi-Dimensional Model and Algorithm for the Classification and Remediation of Software Vulnerabilities
Abstract: This master’s thesis addresses shortcomings in the vulnerability management component of the Software Composition Analysis (SCA) Tool developed by the Professorship for Open Source Software (POS) at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), by proposing a multidimensional classification and remediation framework for software vulnerabilities. The developed approach integrates the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) for […]Abstract: This master’s thesis addresses shortcomings in the vulnerability management component of the Software Composition Analysis (SCA) Tool developed by the Professorship for Open Source Software (POS) at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), by proposing a multidimensional classification and remediation framework for software vulnerabilities.

Research Paper: Why and how do organizations create user-led open source consortia? A systematic literature review
Abstract: Context: User-led open source (OS) consortia (foundations) consist of organizations from industries beyond the software industry collaborating to create open-source software solutions for their internal processes. Initially pioneered by higher education organizations in the 2000s, this concept has gained traction in recent years across various industries. Objective: This study has two research objectives. The […]Abstract: Context: User-led open source (OS) consortia (foundations) consist of organizations from industries beyond the software industry collaborating to create open-source software solutions for their internal processes.

Research Paper: Governance Practices for Open Source Foundations in the Healthcare Sector
Abstract: Open source (OS) foundations are non-profit organizations that support open-source software development projects. OS foundations can be categorized based on their membership and governance structures. This study focuses on vendor-led and user-led OS foundations operating in the healthcare sector. The study has two objectives. The first objective is to explore the similarities and differences […]Abstract: Open source (OS) foundations are non-profit organizations that support open-source software development projects.

Research Paper: Why Do Companies Create and How Do They Succeed with a Vendor-Led Open Source Foundation
Abstract: Vendor-led open source foundations are open source foundations led by software vendors rather than individual developers or end-user organizations. Our research investigates why vendors create or join such foundations, and how these foundations succeed. We conducted exploratory single-case study research, with the LF Edge foundation as our case. We collected qualitative data in the […]Abstract: Vendor-led open source foundations are open source foundations led by software vendors rather than individual developers or end-user organizations.
