CALL FOR PAPERS

INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP IN CONJUNCTION WITH
THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON OPEN SOURCE SYSTEMS (OSS2007)

TOWARD A NEW INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION?
OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE IN ECONOMIC AND MANAGERIAL PERSPECTIVE
OSSEMP 2007
Limerick =96 Ireland, June 14th 2007

AIMS AND SCOPE
Over the past few years, Open Source software has gained more and more
economic importance. Beyond developers and communities, various economic
actors including numerous start-ups and major companies have become
essential players in the open source world. Open-source software now =
belongs
to the mainstream of the software industry, and is rapidly modifying =
major
elements of its industrial organization. However, this new emerging
organization of the software industry, and the role of the different =
players
=96 developers, communities, business firms, universities, public =
agencies,
governments, etc.=96 and of their interactions =96 the rules of this =
emerging
game =96 are yet largely unclear.
Located in the context of OSS2007 in order to foster close and fruitful
interactions with scholars from various disciplines, and notably with
software engineering researchers, this workshop aims at contributing to =
the
current evolutions of the economic and managerial research agendas about
open source software and to provide both an assessment of where =
economists
and management researchers are about these issues, and an analysis of =
newer
directions focusing notably on business,production, diffusion and =
innovation
models.
THEMES
Original contributions from economic and managerial perspectives are
welcome, empirical as well as theoretical. The focus of these =
contributions
should be on the ways in which open-source software is shaping the
industrial organization of the software industry, and on the influence =
of
open
systems on other sectors. Contributions are particularly welcome about =
the
following issues:

- Business models: OSS strategies of large and small software firms,
sustainability of OSS-based business models, platform strategies,
hybridisation between commercial and free/open software, relationships
between software firms and OSS communities (firms' contributions and
strategies, role of so-called paid developers, of networks, etc.),
implications of OSS licensing, and of copyright and patent issues, etc.
- Production models: specificities of the OSS production model and their
economic and managerial consequences, allocation and coordination
mechanisms, characteristics of open-source software projects and project
ecologies, modularity, etc.
- Innovation models: open innovation models, factors favouring the =
emergence
of OSS-like innovation regimes, policies dedicated to the software and =
to
other sectors, etc.
- Diffusion models: empirical evidence on OSS diffusion, typologies of =
users
and of adoption motives, users' characteristics, role of users' =
communities,
competition and standardization issues, market dynamics of OSS and
proprietary software, integration of open and closed solutions, etc.

Professor Paul A. David (Stanford University and Oxford Internet =
Institute)
will give a keynote presentation to the workshop.

SUBMISSION
Extended abstracts will be considered, but a preference will be given to
full papers. Note that at least one author of each accepted submission =
must
attend the workshop and that all workshop participants must pay the =
workshop
registration fee (20 euros).
Submissions should be in either .sxw, .doc, .rtf or .pdf format. Each
submission should include a cover page with the full title of the paper =
and
the names of all authors. The body of the paper (or the extended =
abstract)
should include title, list of keywords and a complete list of =
references.
The organizers will propose to an international peer-reviewed journal to
collect the best presented papers into a Special Issue.
Papers should be submitted by e-mail to cristina1.rossi-hl5o88x/[email protected] and
fr.ivs-b4epPxeCJ/[email protected]

DEADLINES
Authors should send their potential contribution by March 31st, 2007.
Decisions of paper acceptance will be made by April 30th, 2007.
