Welcome to QUALIPSO-A4 PROJECT

Large amount of information, in the form of documents, mail messages, wiki postings, bug tracking records, source code files (including comments), CVS and Subversion records, etc. is generated or exchanged by users and developers during the life-cycle of any software development project. This is even more evident in OSS projects.

The proposed activity is focused on research and development of tools that enable to analyse, extract, manage and exploit correlation between all items of information that are commonly produced in an OSS project. Availability of these tools would not only have a positive impact in the trustworthiness of OSS but may also represent a major competitive advantage for OSS projects because, as we have just explained, generation and exchange of information is cultivated in them far beyond the common standard practice of most non-OSS projects.
