  • Empirical tests of Zipf's law mechanism in open source Linux Distribution.
    Physical review letters, 2008
    Co-Authors: Thomas Maillart, Sebastian Spaeth, Didier Sornette, G Von Krogh
    Abstract:

    Zipf’s power law is a ubiquitous empirical regularity found in many systems, thought to result from proportional growth. Here, we establish empirically the usually assumed ingredients of stochastic growth models that have been previously conjectured to be at the origin of Zipf’s law. We use exceptionally detailed data on the evolution of open source software projects in Linux Distributions, which offer a remarkable example of a growing complex self-organizing adaptive system, exhibiting Zipf’s law over four full decades.

  • sampling in open source software development the case for using the debian gnu Linux Distribution
    Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2007
    Co-Authors: Sebastian Spaeth, Matthias Stuermer, Stefan Haefliger, G Von Krogh
    Abstract:

    Research on open source software (OSS) projects often focuses on the SourceForge collaboration platform. We argue that a GNU/Linux Distribution, such as Debian, is better suited for the sampling of projects because it avoids biases and contains unique information only available in an integrated environment. Especially research on the reuse of components can build on dependency information inherent in the Debian GNU/Linux packaging system. This paper therefore contributes to the practice of sampling methods in OSS research and provides empirical data on reuse dependencies in Debian

  • robobuntu a Linux Distribution for mobile robotics
    International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2009
    Co-Authors: Adriano Mancini, Emanuele Frontoni, Andrea Ascani, Primo Zingaretti
    Abstract:

    During last years Linux started to climb the market of operating systems (OSs), and Ubuntu, derived by Debian OS, has become a good alternative to common OSs like Windows XP or Vista. The mobile robotics scientific community makes use of Linux based OSs to avoid the lack of stability that affects Microsoft OSs, especially when real time conditions must be satisfied. In this paper we present the Linux Distribution RoboBuntu, acronym formed by the union of ROBOt and uBUNTU, to overcome the almost totally independent robotic software platforms existing today. The key idea behind RoboBuntu is the integration of different tools for mobile robotics into an embedded Ubuntu Distribution. Another important characteristics of RoboBuntu is that every “hard step”, like installation and configuration of OS and tools, is hidden to common users. In particular, RoboBuntu can be used either by students or researchers, as LiveCd, permanent installation on standard hard drive or, more interesting, on a USB storage flash disk.

  • Nixos: A purely functional Linux Distribution
    Journal of Functional Programming, 2010
    Co-Authors: Eelco Dolstra, Andres Löh, Nicolas Pierron
    Abstract:

    Existing package and system configuration management tools suffer from an imperative model, where system administration actions such as package upgrades or changes to system configuration files are stateful: they destructively update the state of the system. This leads to many problems, such as the inability to roll back changes easily, to deploy multiple versions of a package side-by-side, to reproduce a configuration deterministically on another machine, or to reliably upgrade a system. In this paper we show that we can overcome these problems by moving to a purely functional system configuration model. This means that all static parts of a system (such as software packages, configuration files and system startup scripts) are built by pure functions and are immutable, stored in a way analogous to a heap in a purely functional language. We have implemented this model in NixOS, a non-trivial Linux Distribution that uses the Nix package manager to build the entire system configuration from a modular, purely functional specification.
