HICSS 2017 Track: Open Source Application Software, Organizing & Innovation

Open Source (OS) is an approach to design and development based on shared
and open access to a common set of design artifacts, driven by volunteer
communities, or ‘crowds’. The original form of OS, software development, is
seen as a harbinger for future forms of organizing and innovation. Work is
increasingly being conducted by crowds on software platforms such as Github
or Mechanical Turk, and innovations are often crowdsourced on platforms
such as OpenIDEO, or shared in 3D printing communities such as Thingiverse.
As OS is becoming an important paradigm for innovation, design, and
development, the understanding of its basic mechanisms promises to deliver
value to a wide range of phenomena. This minitrack solicits three types of
submissions:

Work on OS application software and OS software platforms - Papers that
focus on open source application software used for profit or non-profit
purposes.
Work on the fundamental foundations of OS organizing - Papers that
investigate the underlying principles by which open communities organize
themselves and achieve effective coordination, learning, and stakeholder
communication.
Work on OS innovation processes - Papers that inquire into OS innovation
and the processes which lead to innovative, creative, and/or successful
outcomes.
The types of studies that would be relevant for this mini-track include
those that deal with the fundamental aspects of OS, but are not necessarily
restricted to software (e.g. 3D printing, open hardware etc. are also
relevant). Beyond this requirement, we are interested in all forms of
research, including qualitative, quantitative, mixed, computational, and
theoretical papers.
