Open Source Software Vs Proprietary Software Sakshi Singh, Madhvik Verma, Naveen Kumar N
International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 8, Issue 12, December-2017 735 ISSN 2229-5518 Open Source Software Vs Proprietary Software Sakshi Singh, Madhvik Verma, Naveen Kumar N Abstract— Open Source software are the most revolutionizing concept that has been put forth in the Information Technology spectrum. This new release has raised quite a lot of brows, similar to when the Internet was launched. For a very long time, there has been a tiff going on between the Proprietary software and the open source software and how the open source software are taking over their ancestors. The technical experts often indulge in conversations as to which of the two software is better and why. People also get confused as to which type of software can be listed as Open source. In this paper we aim to emphasize that the open source development cycle has been there in the market for quite some time and has a huge user base now, thus giving it a strong hold in the software market. It has encouraged the use of new strategically placed actions which has in turn made a huge base for open source software systems. On the other hand, many experts also suggest that this is just momentary and it will pass over a period of time whereas the proprietary software are there to stay. This paper gives the understanding and recommendations for both the kind of software thus giving the user a proper understanding of which software is suitable for their use and thus they can make a better choice for their purpose. -

Open source software in quantum computing Mark Fingerhutha,1, 2 Tomáš Babej,1 and Peter Wittek3, 4, 5, 6 1ProteinQure Inc., Toronto, Canada 2University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa 3Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada 4Creative Destruction Lab, Toronto, Canada 5Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Toronto, Canada 6Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Waterloo, Canada Open source software is becoming crucial in the design and testing of quantum algorithms. Many of the tools are backed by major commercial vendors with the goal to make it easier to develop quantum software: this mirrors how well-funded open machine learning frameworks enabled the development of complex models and their execution on equally complex hardware. We review a wide range of open source software for quantum computing, covering all stages of the quantum toolchain from quantum hardware interfaces through quantum compilers to implementations of quantum algorithms, as well as all quantum computing paradigms, including quantum annealing, and discrete and continuous-variable gate-model quantum computing. The evaluation of each project covers characteristics such as documentation, licence, the choice of programming language, compliance with norms of software engineering, and the culture of the project. We find that while the diversity of projects is mesmerizing, only a few attract external developers and even many commercially backed frameworks have shortcomings in software engineering. Based on these observations, we highlight the best practices that could foster a more active community around quantum computing software that welcomes newcomers to the field, but also ensures high-quality, well-documented code. INTRODUCTION Source code has been developed and shared among enthusiasts since the early 1950s. -
Web Application for Generating a Standard Coordinated Documentation for CS Students’ Graduation Project in Gaza Universities Ibrahim M
International Journal of Engineering and Information Systems (IJEAIS) ISSN: 2000-000X Vol. 1 Issue 6, September – 2017, Pages: 155-167 Web Application for Generating a Standard Coordinated Documentation for CS Students’ Graduation Project in Gaza Universities Ibrahim M. Nasser, Samy S. Abu-Naser Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, Al-Azhar University, Gaza, Palestine [email protected] Abstract: The computer science (CS) graduated students suffered from documenting their projects and specially from coordinating it. In addition, students’ supervisors faced difficulties with guiding their students to an efficient process of documenting. In this paper, we will offer a suggestion as a solution to the mentioned problems; that is an application to make the process of documenting computer science (CS) student graduation project easy and time-cost efficient. This solution will decrease the possibility of human mistakes and reduce the effort of documenting process. Keywords: web applications, cost efficient, time-cost efficient, documenting, software engineering, graduation projects. 1. INTRODUCTION Computer science (CS) is the study of the occurrences adjoining computers [1]. It's also defined as the study of computers and computational systems, computer scientists deal usually with software (unlike electrical and computer engineers), Primary parts of study inside Computer Science consist of computer systems, operating systems, networks, database systems, artificial intelligence, computer architecture, security, computer graphics, human computer interaction, systems analysis, software engineering, theory of computing and programming languages [11,17-28]. In computing, a web application is a client–server application that means, the client (like user interface) works in a web browser [2]. The general distinction between a web application and a dynamic web page is vague, web sites that we can name them as "web applications" are those have comparable functionality to a mobile application or to a desktop applications [3]. -

Project Number: LAB-99MP -.5 / MAJORING IN PIRACY An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by Ian Parmenter Joshua Colson Date: October 15, 1999 Approved: Professor Lee A. Becker, Project Advisor -2- Abstract A look at the state of piracy on college campuses finds that the policies used to inform students just what is acceptable are sorely lacking. These policies are reviewed and analyzed, and a generic policy is put for as being an ideal choice to base college policies off of. A thorough review of literature on campus piracy is given, along with results of surveys on the matter. Table of Contents 1. Introduction 4 2.

An Extreme Programming Method for Innovative Software Based on Systems Design and Its Practical Study
International Journal of Software Engineering & Applications (IJSEA), Vol.5, No.5, September 2014 EPISODE: AN EXTREME PROGRAMMING METHOD FOR INNOVATIVE SOFTWARE BASED ON SYSTEMS DESIGN AND ITS PRACTICAL STUDY Takaaki Goto 1, Kensei Tsuchida 2 and Tetsuro Nishino 1 1Graduate School of Informatics and Engineering, The University of Electro- Communications, Japan 2Faculty of Information Science and Arts, Toyo University, Japan ABSTRACT In software development, the waterfall model is commonly used, especially for large-scale software systems. For smaller-scale software development, agile software development approaches such as extreme programming or scrum are used. Traditional software development methodologies are mainly targeted toward customer-centric development, and therefore, new software methodologies are often not well received in the industry. In this study, we propose a new software development methodology that is aimed at developing innovative software using artificial intelligence (AI), idea creation, value engineering, and systems design. The name of our method is named as EPISODE (Extreme Programming method for Innovative SOftware based on systems DEsign). EPISODE supports the efficient and creative development of open source software (OSS) by small groups. Moreover we describe an evaluation of EPISODE in a class. KEYWORDS Software Development Methodology, Value Engineering, Open Source Software 1. INTRODUCTION In software development, the waterfall model is commonly used at present. Recent years have, however, witnessed the increasing use of agile software development methodologies, especially for small- or mid-scale projects and even in some large-scale projects. Both the waterfall and agile software development models feature developers and clients, where the developers obtain the project requirements from the clients. -

Many organisations have requirements for long-term sustainable software systems and associated communities. In this paper we consider long- term sustainability of Open Source software communities in Open Source projects involving a fork. There is currently a lack of studies in the literature that address how specific Open Source software communities are affected by a fork. -
