Open Source Research, A Quiet Revolution:
"Abstract
The Open Source revolution is not limited to operating systems, file sharing and web servers. It is flourishing in other areas as well. This paper introduces the reader to a quiet revolution occurring in the research community, where open source research includes not only algorithms and shared techniques. It also includes hardware design and open community collaboration as well. One research community in particular, the complex adaptive systems researchers, is introduced here in detail."
