IU Open Systems Lab Researcher Receives Microsoft Award
Congratulations to Joseph Cottam of the Open Systems Lab (OSL) on recently receiving the first ever Microsoft award from the International Network of Social Network Analysis (INSNA) for his paper "Extended Assortivity and the Structure in the Open Source Development Community", co-authored with OSL director Andrew Lumsdaine. The award includes a $1,000 cash prize provided by a donation from Microsoft given to authors of outstanding papers that address social relations aspects of software development. Cottam and Lumsdaine introduce a set of tools they call "Developmetrics" to investigate community formation and product development in the open source software community. Read the paper.
