Adequate tool support may pave the road to effective risk management and ensure the sustainability of such activity. In this paper, we present the RISCOSS platform for managing risks in OSS adoption. RISCOSS builds upon a highly configurable data model that allows customization to several types of scopes. It implements two different working modes: exploration, where the impact of decisions may be assessed before making them; and continuous assessment, where risk variables (and their possible consequences on business goals) are continuously monitored and reported to decision-makers. The blackboard-oriented architecture of the platform defines several interfaces for the identified techniques, allowing new techniques to be plugged in. }, keywords = {Open source adoption, Open Source Projects, open source software, OSS, Risk Management, Software platform}, isbn = {978-3-319-17836-3}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-17837-0_12}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-17837-0_12}, author = {Franch, X. and Kenett, R. and Mancinelli, F. and Susi, A. and Ameller, D. and Annosi, M.C. and Ben-Jacob, R. and Blumenfeld, Y. and Franco, O.H. and Gross, D. and Lopez, L. and Morandini, M. and Oriol, M. and Siena, A.}, editor = {Damiani, Ernesto and Frati, Fulvio and Dirk Riehle and Wasserman, Anthony I.} }
