It has become an increasingly common practice that software companies collaborate with external developers to develop a software platform for a shared market, constituting software ecosystems. One main concern in adopting the practice of software ecosystem is how to attract external developers to a platform, and how to establish sustainable collaborative relationships with them. We discuss that explicating and in-depth analysis of developers’ objectives and decision criteria can facilitate the design of sustainable collaborations in software ecosystems. Scenarios from Apple iOS and Google Android ecosystems are used for illustration.

Companies gone open: adoption and application of Open-Source Business ModelsRoberto Medico
The document discusses open source business models and factors that influence a company's decision to adopt an open source strategy. It describes three main open source business models: distributor models, software producer models, and third party service provider models. Companies may choose to go open to benefit from community feedback, rapid bug fixing, flexibility, and reduced business risks. While proprietary strategies keep source code private, open source allows anyone to review and improve code quality in exchange for losing control over the code. The document also examines challenges of transitioning from proprietary to open source and the benefits of hybrid models that combine both approaches. It provides examples of JBoss and Zope Europe Association that successfully implemented dynamic open source business strategies.
- TopMod3D is a free 3D modeling software created by Texas A&M students that allows for advanced subdivision of polygon surfaces. It has over 17,000 downloads since 2008.
- The software offers 35 preset algorithms for subdividing surfaces and 6 basic shapes for modeling. It allows for rapid modeling and has high download compression.
- Focus groups and interviews with industry professionals found that users would pay $50-100 per license and see applications in gaming, movies, and 3D printing. However, the interface and integration with other software needs further development to be commercially viable.
Platform ecosystems provide a modern value creation model where external contributors can develop services on top of a technical platform. This accelerates evolution and allows continuous innovation from customers. The key is great ecosystem orchestration through APIs and common rules. Platforms are managed differently than traditional products, focusing on continuous growth through collaboration rather than command and control. New sources of value may emerge for non-business sectors by applying this approach to enable communities and crowdsourcing.

There are essential security considerations in the systems used by semiconductor companies like TI. Along
with other semiconductor companies, TI has recognized that IT security is highly crucial during web
application developers' system development life cycle (SDLC). The challenges faced by TI web developers
were consolidated via questionnaires starting with how risk management and secure coding can be
reinforced in SDLC; and how to achieve IT Security, PM and SDLC initiatives by developing a prototype
which was evaluated considering the aforementioned goals. This study aimed to practice NIST strategies
by integrating risk management checkpoints in the SDLC; enforce secure coding using static code analysis
tool by developing a prototype application mapped with IT Security goals, project management and SDLC
initiatives and evaluation of the impact of the proposed solution. This paper discussed how SecureTI was
able to satisfy IT Security requirements in the SDLC and PM phases.
DATA-DRIVEN MODEL FOR NON-FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS IN MOBILE APPLICATION DEVEL...ijcsit
The incredible development in the utilization of smartphones has driven the development of billions of
software applications famously known as ‘apps’ to accomplish roles outside phone call and SMS messages
in the day-to-day lives of users. Current assessments show that there are a huge number of applications
developed at a meteor pace to give clients a rich and quick client experience. Mobile apps users are more
concerned about stability and quality now more than ever despite the increase in the scale and size of apps.
As such, mobile apps have to be designed, built, and produced for less money (maintainability, portability,
and reusability), with greater performance, reliable security and fewer resources (efficiency) than ever
before. This paper aimed at providing support for mobile application developers in dealing with the evereluding non-functional requirements by proposing a data-driven model that simplifies the non-functional
requirements (NFR) p in the development of an application for mobile devices. The study tries to find out if
NFR can be treated the same way as functional requirements in mobile application development. Finally,
this paper shows the experimental evaluation of the proposed data-driven model of dealing for nonfunctional requirements in the development of mobile apps and the results obtained from the application of
the model are also discussed.

Modeling and Analyzing Openness Trade-Offs in Software Platforms: A Goal-Orie...Mahsa H. Sadi
[Context and motivation] Open innovation is becoming an important strategy in software development. Following this strategy, software companies are increasingly opening up their platforms to third-party products for extension and completion. [Question / problem] Opening up software platforms to third-party applications often involves difficult trade-offs between openness requirements and critical design concerns such as security, performance, pri-vacy, and proprietary ownership. Deliberate assessment of these trade-offs is crucial to the ultimate quality and viability of an open software platform. [Principal ideas / results] We propose to treat openness as a distinct class of non-functional requirements, and to model and analyze openness requirements and related trade-offs using a goal-oriented approach. The proposed approach allows to refine and analyze openness requirements in parallel with other competing concerns in designing software platforms. The refined re-quirements are used as criteria for selecting appropriate design options. We demonstrate our approach using an example of designing an open embedded software platform for the automotive domain reported in the literature. [Contributions] The proposed approach allows to balance the fulfillment of interacting requirements in opening up platforms to third-party products, and to determine “good-enough” and “open-enough” platform design strategies.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Conclusion
It is required to elicit and analyze developers’ objectives
and decision criteria as source for identifying the
appropriate requirements for growing and sustaining a
software ecosystem
36
37. Summary
One crucial activity in developing a software ecosystem is to
attract external software developers to contribute to a
software platform
We proposed a model-based approach to systematically
develop and extend sustainable collaborative relationships
with external software developers
The main idea behind our solution is to model and analyze
collaborators’ objectives and decisions
Using scenarios from Google Android and Apple iOS software
ecosystems, we illustrated the viability of the proposed
approach
37
38. Limitations of the Study
Evaluating the proposed approach
Via experimentation in case studies of software
ecosystems
Elaborating the proposed approach
With techniques for eliciting, evaluating, and prioritizing
collaborators’ objectives and decision criteria

We start by modeling collaboration in the smartphone software ecosystem.
There are two main collabroators.
In order to grow and sustain a software ecosystem developer’s satisfaction is a critical dependency for mobile platform developer
Therefore,
Eliciting and explicating developers’ objectives and decision criteria requires data.
I walkthrough the case of Apple iOS, and explain how to model and analyze Apple iOS software ecosystem
I read information extracted from the study and then I explain how to use this information in the modeling and analysis process that we propose
We apply the proposed systematic process to model and analyze apple application developers and decision criteria
The first step is t model the developer’s objectives and decision criteria.
The next step is
Now that we have the information about the developers objectives and decision criteria we need to refine them to reach to concrete requirements.
Now that we have the information about the software ecosystem the question is how to use the information about the decision criteria in order to improve the design of a software ecosystem?
Now that we have the information about the software ecosystem the question is how to use the information about the decision criteria in order to improve the design of a software ecosystem?
We put priority on financial gain. We put priority on intellectual
To demonstrate this difference, in the next section, we walk through scenarios from Google Android Software Ecosystem.
Now that we have the information about the developers objectives and decision criteria we need to refine them to reach to concrete requirements.
Now that we have the information about the software ecosystem the question is how to use the information about the decision criteria in order to improve the design of a software ecosystem?
