FUNDAMENTALS OF OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE
Free Open Source Software have been growing enormously in the field of information technology. Open Source Software (OSS) is a software whose source code is accessible for alteration or enrichment by other programmers. This book gives a detailed analysis of open source software and their fundamentals, and so is meant for the beginners who want to learn and write programs using Open Source Software. It also educates on how to download and instal these open source free software in the system.The topics covered in the book broadly aims to develop familiar Open Source Software (OSS) associated with database, web portal and scientific application development. Software platforms like, Android, MySQL, PHP, Python, PERL, Grid Computing, and Open Source Cloud, and their applications are explained through various examples and programs. The platforms like OSS and Linux are also introduced in the book. Recapitulation given at the end of each chapter enables the readers to take a quick revision of the topics. Numerous examples in the form of programs are given to enable the students to understand the theoretical concepts and their applicative knowledge. The book is an introductory textbook on Open Source Software (OSS) for the undergraduate students of Computer Science Engineering (CSE) and postgraduate students of Computer Application (MCA). Salient Features The procedure for installing software (Linux, Android, PHP, MySQL, Perl, and Python) both in Linux and Windows operating systems are discussed in the book.• Numerous worked out example programs are introduced.• Inclusion of several questions drawn from previous question papers in chapter-end exercises.

Handbook of Open Source Tools introduces a comprehensive collection of advanced open source tools useful in developing software applications. The book contains information on more than 200 open-source tools which include software construction utilities for compilers, virtual-machines, database, graphics, high-performance computing, OpenGL, geometry, algebra, graph theory , GUIs and more. Special highlights for software construction utilities and application libraries are included. Each tool is covered in the context of a real like application development setting. This unique handbook presents a comprehensive discussion of advanced tools, a valuable asset used by most application developers and programmers; includes a special focus on Mathematical Open Source Software not available in most Open Source Software books, and introduces several tools (eg ACL2, CLIPS, CUDA, and COIN) which are not known outside of select groups, but are very powerful. Handbook of Open Source Tools is designed for application developers and programmers working with Open Source Tools. Advanced-level students concentrating on Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science will find this reference a valuable asset as well.
Adopting Open Source Software
A rich case-study analysis of open source software adoption by public organizations in different countries and settings. Government agencies and public organizations often consider adopting open source software (OSS) for reasons of transparency, cost, citizen access, and greater efficiency in communication and delivering services. Adopting Open Source Software offers five richly detailed real-world case studies of OSS adoption by public organizations. The authors analyze the cases and develop an overarching, conceptual framework to clarify the various enablers and inhibitors of OSS adoption in the public sector. The book provides a useful resource for policymakers, practitioners, and academics. The five cases of OSS adoption include a hospital in Ireland; an IT consortium serving all the municipalities of the province of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy; schools and public offices in the Extremadura region of Spain; the Massachusetts state government's open standards policy in the United States; and the ICT department of the Italian Chamber of Deputies. The book provides a comparative analysis of these cases around the issues of motivation, strategies, technologies, economic and social aspects, and the implications for theory and practice.
