Abstract

In this paper, I draw attention to the question of determining how open source software development may represent a significant alternative to modern software engineering techniques for developing large-scale software systems. OSSD often entails shorter time frames, producing higher quality systems, and incurring lower costs than may be realized through developing systems according SE techniques. Understanding why and how this may arise is the focus of this paper.
