Multi-disciplinary Advancement in Open Source Software and Processes

By its very nature, free and open source software encourages collaboration within and across virtual teams and promotes interdisciplinary methods and perspectives. Multi-Disciplinary Advancement in Open Source Software and Processes reviews the development, design, and use of free and open source software, providing relevant topics of discussion for programmers, as well as researchers in human-computer studies, online and virtual collaboration, and e-learning. This reference explores successes and failures in the discipline, providing a foundation for future research and new approaches for the development and application of free and open source projects.
