“…In Computer Science, it is not different. More specifically, in the proprietary software ecosystems context, power relations aid organizations in achieving goals [Costa et al 2020]. This happens because understanding power relations can foster collaboration and avoid conflicts [Alves et al 2019].…”

Context: Relationships within open-source software ecosystems (OSSECO) emerge from collaborations within an ecosystem. Power relations are present in this context whenever an entity has the power of making other entities act as it wants them to act. Therefore, these power relations could affect collaboration within an OSSECO. Objective: This research aims at investigating power relations and providing an understanding of them in OSSECO. A conceptual model will be refined and will represent the power relations and their dynamics. Method: A systematic mapping study was conducted to gather knowledge about power relations from previous studies, and a survey research, considering this knowledge, was conducted with randomly selected npm OSSECO community members to evaluate that knowledge. Next, interviews with selected ecosystem community members will be conducted to identify the types of power relations and their dynamics within an OSSECO. Based on the results from the previous phases, a conceptual model to represent power relations and their dynamics in OSSECO will be refined. Results: The literature review and the survey research with the npm OSSECO community show that, as expected, power relations are present and affect relationships and interactions within an OSSECO. Hierarchy and financial rewards seem to be related to the power relations within the OSSECO. Implications: Identifying power relations that might be present within an OSSECO would enable those who study or are members of the ecosystem's community to understand previous movements and predict future decisions based on the power relations present in their OSSECO.

“…Por meio de uma análise de correlação, identificou-se os mecanismos de maior relevância e as influências desses gestores. Este estudo deu origem ao artigo "Investigating Asset Governance Mechanisms in a Proprietary Software Ecosystem", aceito para publicação e apresentação na Trilha Principal do SBSI 2020 [Costa et al 2020]. Um mapeamento sistemático está em andamento visando identificar estudos sobre gestão de incidentes no contexto de ECOS.…”

A indisponibilidade de sistemas que compóem uma plataforma de ecossistema de software (ECOS) proprietário, aqueles que são protegidos pela propriedade intelectual, prejudica produtividade e receita, além de provocar danos ao ECOS e à imagem da organização. Neste cenário, manter uma plataforma tecnológica mitigando os riscos de incidentes (interrupção não planejada de um serviço) é uma das atividades existentes para sustentar o ECOS. Este trabalho tem como objetivo desenvolver e avaliar uma abordagem baseada em um processo para gestão de incidentes visando apoiar a equipe de gerenciamento de TI na avaliação da manuteção da plataforma de um ECOS proprietário.
