QGIS is a free and open-source software that allows viewing, editing, and analyzing georeferenced data. It is a Geographic Information System (GIS) software composed by tools that allow to manipulate geographic information and consequently to create maps which help to get a better understanding and organization of geospatial data. Unfortunately, maps created directly in the GIS desktop software are not automatically transferred to a website. This research aimed to compare publishing capabilities in different QGIS plugins to create Web Maps. This study analyzes four QGIS plugins (QGIS2Web, QGIS Cloud, GIS Cloud Publisher and Mappia Publisher), performing a comparison between them, considering their advantages and disadvantages, the free and subscription plans, the tools offered by each plugin and other generic aspects. The four plugins were tested in a specific case study to automatically obtain different Web Maps. This study could help users to choose the most adequate tools to publish Web Maps under QGIS software.

AbstractIn recent years, the widespread applications of open-source software (OSS) have brought great convenience for software developers. However, it is always facing unavoidable security risks, such as open-source code defects and security vulnerabilities. To find out the OSS risks in time, we carry out an empirical study to identify the indicators for evaluating the OSS. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the OSS assessment, we collect 56 papers from prestigious academic venues (such as IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, DBLP, and Google Scholar) in the past 21 years. During the process of the investigation, we first identify the main concerns for selecting OSS and distill five types of commonly used indicators to assess OSS. We then conduct a comparative analysis to discuss how these indicators are used in each surveyed study and their differences. Moreover, we further undertake a correlation analysis between these indicators and uncover 13 confirmed conclusions and four cases with controversy occurring in these studies. Finally, we discuss several possible applications of these conclusions, which are insightful for the research on OSS and software supply chain.

Straipsnis skiriamas rekomendacinių sistemų algoritmų veikimo konkrečioje elektroninės parduotuvės duomenų bazėje analizei. Analizės tikslas – pagal pasirinktus įverčius rasti rekomendacinių sistemų algoritmus, efektyviausiai veikiančius turimoje duomenų bazėje. Šiame straipsnyje palyginti nemokamos rekomendacinių sistemų programinės įrangos paketai, aprašytas su pasirinkta programine įranga atliktas rekomendavimo algoritmų efektyvumo turimoje duomenų bazėje eksperimentinistyrimas siekiant nustatyti geriausiai ir prasčiausiai veikiančius algoritmus.Analysis of the effi ciency of recommendatory systems algorithms in an e-bookshop Aurimas Rapečka, Virginijus Marcinkevičius, Gintautas Dzemyda SummaryIn the paper, the effi ciency of various recommendatory systems algorithms in a data set of the local ebookshop is analysed. The key goal of analysis is to determine effective and not effective algorithms in the data set used for analysis. An analytical review of free or open source software of ecommendatory systems is presented. Some comparison criteria are selected. According to the criteria, a comparative analysis of the popular software of ecommendatory systems is made and some experiments with the best evaluated software are done. We have determined here which algorithms are effective in the data set, used for the experiments. 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">

In this paper, we investigate the nature of the relationships between dimensions of governance in Open Source (OS) communities. A recent review highlighted this issue as critical. Furthermore, this issue has been recognized as strategic for managing the trade-off between innovation and standardization, the capacity of firms to profit from their investment in open source, and the sustainability of OS projects. Our results are based on a comparative analysis of 40 OS projects contained in the Freshmeat dataset. For each project, we collected data on the governance solutions implemented. Governance mechanisms have been ranked for their degree of openness. Our findings show that OS governance is configurational. Those configurations are defined along two dimensions: leadership and decision-making distribution, and reciprocity of the appropriability regime. Four configurations are indeed defined: open source, sponsored, reciprocity-based, and tolerant dictatorship. Those configurations have been defined based on an exploratory factor analysis.
