	abstract = {The introduction of a GNU/Linux-based desktop system in a large company is often problematic, in terms of technical issues but especially for employees{\textquoteright} training costs. Mainly, these obstacles are represented by different hardware configurations that might require several ad-hoc activities to adapt a standard release to the specific environment, including company{\textquoteright}s application profile. On the other hand, GNU/Linux live distributions provide to the users{\textquoteright} community new and interesting capabilities, as self-configuration and better usability, but loosing compatibility with original distributions, that is unaffordable in professionals scenarios. DSS (Debased Scripts Set) is an answer to both questions. It is a live distribution that includes an unmodified Debian-based Linux release and a modular-designed file system.

	abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) is receiving an increasing attention as a possible alternative to proprietary solutions. There are supporters of both the alternatives that stress advantages and disadvantages, but what is missing is an empirical view of a transition with the aid of case studies and controlled experiments. The aim of the paper is to report the results of an empirical investigation in the field of office automation in the Public Administration (PA). The available OSS in the field is introduced in the existing environment while preserving the proprietary solution. The analysis is supported by both qualitative and quantitative data. The effects on productivity and on users{\textquoteright} attitude towards OSS and the emerging criteria for a possible transition are exposed.},

	abstract = {This paper introduces UniGeINT - University of Genoa Integration Tool -, a framework designed to provide integration between several existing tools, databases and data repositories we used in internal administrative processes, by exploiting OSS benefits in terms of costs reduction and bug reporting. Moreover, it adopts state-of-art solutions in Enterprise Application Integration, by using specific design patterns able to match existing IT marrow. So we required in final product common features unmissable for a large scale corporative environment: reliability and fault tolerance, besides to a complete integration with anything previously developed.},

	booktitle = {OSS2005: Open Source Systems },
	year = {2005},
	pages = {119-124},
	abstract = {Open Source Software (OSS) has risen to great prominence. Briefly, OSS programs are programs whose licenses give users the freedom to run the program for any purpose, to study and modify the program, and to redistribute copies of either the original or modified program (without having to pay royalties to previous developers). In the last years the Italian Public Administrations (PA) points out the benefits of using OSS as a valid alternative to closed source software. The goal of this paper is to illustrate the state of the art of OSS in Italian PA and describe two pratical examples of the use of OSS in the e-government area. Those examples are represented by the local e-government observatories developed respectively by Emilia Romagna and Liguria Regions. A real and settled knowledge about current and past egovernment initiatives in Italy can improve the future planning. For these reasons several Italian Regions developed Observatories for e-Government and Informatio...},
