Preliminary topics

According to Zwegers' presentation and based on a discussion he had afterward with Giannis Kanellopoulos, the following issues are relevant to software quality:

• Issues with very large, dynamic, open service networks:*
  • From design-time to run-time.
  • Quality of open systems without fixed boundaries.
  • Opportunities with open source software and service engineering.
• Ways to address these issues: Highly Innovative Service / Software Engineering*
  • Service / Software engineering methods and tools.
  • Verification and validation methods, tools and techniques.
  • Methods, tools and approaches specifically supporting the development, deployment and evolution of open source platforms.

Neat ideas (not sure where they fit)

• Make OSS data computable in a way similar to that of WolframAlpha. (Panos) and open SQO-OSS allowing researchers to submit plugins. Use VMs and sandboxing to make this safe to execute. (dds) Brief Description
