Competition and Cooperation in Mainstream Software Evolution

Abstract

Software features can be the perception of the influence of the human factors on software artifacts. This paper tends to investigate mainstream software evolution and perceive primary criterions of competition and cooperation. It proposes and examines three hypotheses. The active resource space ARS is proposed to manage software features and enhance the success potential of emerging software. Our work makes possible embodying value-added semantic service for software design to meet the merging interconnection environment.
