• 关键词: Research; Agenda; Open; Source; Workshop

An agenda-setting workshop of 25-30 invited participants wil be held by the Center for Information Policy a the University of Maryland. This workshop will bring together diverse shcolars and practitioners to explore social and economic issues raised by open source software development. These issues include its relationship to other forms of hybrid enterprise (such as standards development and scientific research), and implications for institutions and policies ina digital society. Particpants will submit sohor statments in advance to structure the substantive discussion and these statements later will be edited and published on the Center's web site. The workshop will consider the feasibility and design of a future international conference that brings together U.S., European, and developing world perspectives and research.The qualities and values claimed for open-source software-security reliabilty, adaptability, extensibility, low cost, and openness-create marketing opportunities and pose policy questions. The latter include how the government develops or licenses software for its own use, how marketplace competition is regulated to promote economic growth and consumer welfare, and arguments for making the Internet and the benefits of the digital economy more broadly accessible, in lesser developed countries as well as in the United States. The success of the open source invites far-ranging speculation and debate about information architectures, contracts, institutional economics, and the configuration of intangible assets and innovation processes. Expected outcomes, include a prioritized set of questions for future research, a web site for academic research on open source, a bibliography and summary report of the workshop publicly available on th Center's website along with edited contributions of participants and links to related other workshops and research. The workshop wil seek to promote new channels of communication among researchers and between the practitioner community and academic researchers, and to elicit broader academic understanding and interest in the issues surrounding open source. The workshop will consider the feasibility and design of an international conference that brings together U.S., European, and developing world research on open source.

马里兰大学信息政策中心将举办一个25-30人应邀参加的议程设置研讨会。这次研讨会将汇集不同的学者和从业者，探讨开源软件开发带来的社会和经济问题。这些问题包括它与其他形式的混合企业(如标准制定和科学研究)的关系，以及对数字社会中的机构和政策的影响。参赛者将提前提交声明，以组织实质性讨论，这些声明稍后将被编辑并发布在中心的网站上。研讨会将考虑未来国际会议的可行性和设计，该会议将把美国、欧洲和发展中国家的观点和研究聚集在一起。开源软件所宣称的质量和价值--安全、可靠性、适应性、可扩展性、低成本和开放性--创造了营销机会，并提出了政策问题。后者包括政府如何开发或许可自己使用的软件，如何监管市场竞争以促进经济增长和消费者福利，以及在欠发达国家和美国让互联网和数字经济的好处更广泛地获得的理由。开源的成功引发了关于信息架构、合同、制度经济学以及无形资产和创新过程配置的广泛猜测和辩论。预期成果，包括未来研究的一套优先问题、关于开放源码的学术研究网站、可在TH中心网站上公开查阅的研讨会参考书目和总结报告、与会者的编辑意见以及相关其他研讨会和研究的链接。研讨会将寻求促进研究人员之间以及从业者社区和学术研究人员之间的新的交流渠道，并引起更广泛的学术理解和对围绕开放源码的问题的兴趣。研讨会将考虑召开一次国际会议的可行性和设计，该会议汇集了美国、欧洲和发展中国家对开源的研究。
