Study on network-based innovation system of open source software production
开源软件生产的网络化创新系统研究

This paper intended to analyze the innovation mechanism of open source community in view of system engineering, economics and ecology. Firstly, it proposed the concept of open source production and defined on the basis of system engineering, and then put forward the economic characteristics of open source and summarized through the analysis of the difference of production structure between open source software and proprietary software. Subsequently, proposed the innovation entropy to measure the efficacy of community innovation and further revealed the mechanism according to dissipative structure and complex science theory.
