Abstract
"Open Source Software: Opportunities and Challenges," by David Tuma -- Wondering if open source software is right for your project? This well-rounded article discusses the origins of open source, its strengths and security issues, and some ways open source can be utilized in projects. "Open Source Opens Opportunities for Army's Simulation System," by Douglas J. Parsons and Dr. Robert L. Wittman, Jr. -- This article describes the factors that led the Army to use open source development for its next-generation simulation system, including the key processes and tools supporting its development. "Introduction to the User Interface Markup Language," by Jonathan E. Shuster -- To break the user interface language barrier, this author proposes a single language capable of describing user interfaces for virtually any computing device, and describes how it is being applied in defense applications. "DO-178B Certified Software: A Formal Reuse Analysis Approach," by Hoyt Lougee -- Read how certifiable software reuse can be an alternative to developing software from scratch for next-generation systems, and how it provides significant return on investment and time-to-market advantages. "Opening Up Open Source," by Michelle Levesque and Jason Montojo -- Without welcoming arms and attitudes, Free/Libre/Open Source Software will not become a more viable programming alternative for technical and nontechnical users despite its increasing popularity.
