A promising way to support software reuse is based on Component-Based Software Development (CBSD). Open Source Software (OSS) products are increasingly available that can be freely used in product development. However, OSS communities still face several challenges before taking full advantage of the “reuse mechanism”: many OSS projects duplicate effort, for instance when many projects implement a similar system in the same application domain and in the same topic. One successful counter-example is the FFmpeg multimedia project; several of its components are widely and consistently reused in other OSS projects. Documented is the evolutionary history of the various libraries of components within the FFmpeg project, which presently are reused in more than 140 OSS projects. Most use them as black-box components; although a number of OSS projects keep a localized copy in their repositories, eventually modifying them as needed (white-box reuse). In both cases, the authors argue that FFmpeg is a successful project that provides an excellent exemplar of a reusable library of OSS components.

Software Code

Abstract Knowledge spillovers in Open Source Software (OSS) can occur via two channels: In the first channel, programmers take knowledge and experience gained from one OSS project they work on and employ it in another OSS project they work on. In the second channel, programmers reuse software code by taking code from an OSS project and employing it in another. We develop a methodology to measure software reuse in a large OSS network at the micro level and show that projects that reuse code from other projects have higher success. We also demonstrate knowledge spillovers from projects connected via common programmers.

Clinical Tools

The plethora of open source clinical software offers great reuse opportunities for developers to build clinical tools at lower cost and at a faster pace. However, the lack of research on open source clinical software poses a challenge for software reuse in clinical software development. This paper aims to help clinical developers better understand open source clinical software by conducting a thorough investigation of open source clinical software hosted on GitHub. We first developed a data pipeline that automatically collected and preprocessed GitHub data. Then, a deep analysis with several methods, such as statistical analysis, hypothesis testing, and topic modeling, was conducted to reveal the overall status and various characteristics of open source clinical software. There were 14,971 clinical-related GitHub repositories created during the last 10 years, with an average annual growth rate of 55%. Among them, 12,919 are open source clinical software. Our analysis unveiled a number of interesting findings: Popular open source clinical software in terms of the number of stars, most productive countries that contribute to the community, important factors that make an open source clinical software popular, and 10 main groups of open source clinical software. The results can assist both researchers and practitioners, especially newcomers, in understanding open source clinical software.
