We define three layers: the first one for defining risk drivers by collecting and summarising available data from different data sources, including human-provided contextual information; the second layer, for converting these risk drivers into risk indicators; the third layer for assessing how these indicators impact the business of the adopting organisation. The contributions are: 1) the complexity of gathering data is isolated in one layer using appropriate techniques, 2) the context needed to interpret this data is provided by expert involvement evaluating risk scenarios and answering questionnaires in a second layer, 3) a pattern-based approach and risk reasoning techniques to link risks to business goals is proposed in the third layer. }, keywords = {Layered Model, open source, OSS, Risk Management}, isbn = {978-3-642-55127-7}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-55128-4_23}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-55128-4_23}, author = {Franch, Xavier and Kenett, Ron and Mancinelli, Fabio and Susi, Angelo and Ameller, David and Ben-Jacob, Ron and Siena, Alberto}, editor = {Corral, Luis and Sillitti, Alberto and Succi, Giancarlo and Vlasenko, Jelena and Wasserman, AnthonyI.} } @inbook {1604, title = {Use of Open Software Tools for Data Offloading Techniques Analysis on Mobile Networks}, booktitle = {Open Source Software: Mobile Open Source Technologies}, series = {IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology}, volume = {427}, year = {2014}, pages = {111-112}, publisher = {Springer Berlin Heidelberg}, organization = {Springer Berlin Heidelberg}, abstract = { This research aims to highlight the benefits of using free software based tools for studying a LTE mobile network with realistic parameters. We will overload this LTE network and offload it through data offloading techniques such as small cells and WiFi offload. For this research, discreteevent open software network simulator ns3 will be implemented. Ns3 is a network simulator based on the programming language C++, and has all the necessary libraries to simulate an LTE and WiFi network. }, keywords = {Data Offloading, LTE, ns3, OSS for research and education, small cells, WiFi}, isbn = {978-3-642-55127-7}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-55128-4_15}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-55128-4_15}, author = {Koo, Jos{\'e}M. and Espino, JuanP. and Armuelles, Iv{\'a}n and Villarreal, Rub{\'e}n}, editor = {Corral, Luis and Sillitti, Alberto and Succi, Giancarlo and Vlasenko, Jelena and Wasserman, AnthonyI.} }
