| Abstract: |
In this chapter we discuss issues related to the software, as a major guidance component for the Information Society. Particular emphasis is given to the presentation of open source. Specifically the chapter presents the following topics:
• Software Categories (system software, programming languages and application software) • Software Engineering (software life cycle, software life cycle models) • The software and its development models (proprietary software and Free Software / Open Source Software) • Features and licensing models of FS / OSS • Benefits (quality and reliability, hardware requirements, adaptability, open standards and interoperability, cost, security, transparency) and disadvantages of FS / OSS • Applications of FS / OSS in PCs and servers • Current situation use FS / OSS internationally and in Greece • Good practices of FS / OSS in education and public administration |
