Humanities Area
Center for Information and Communication Technology
Founded in the second half of 1980s, the FBK-ICT Center is an internationalresearch center that focuses on key areas of information technology
Staff:> 200 people
Profile:- 90 researchers- 50 technologists- 60 PhD students- 5 project managers ( 4 PMP)
Excellence – H-index:> 30: 12 researchers> 20: 16 researchers> 15: 16 researchers
Self-financing capability greater than 53% over 2008-14
• more than 11.3 M€ funds acquired on competitive basis in 2013-2015• 31 active EU projects• 16 Projects with Private Companies
Research Structure
ICT-irst is organized into three Research Lines (RL) and three High Impact Initiatives (HII)
The Research Lines group units and research projects with different expertise but having common themes and challenges, in order to create a shared direction, language, approach, infrastructure and technologies.
High Impact Initiatives aim at impacting on territory, market and society in a systematic and proactive way, integrating research with business and impact on territory.

Risks and Open Source Software
Insufficient risk management has been reported (see Gartner report in 2016) as one of the topmost mistakes to avoid when implementing OSS-based solutions
Great opportunity
Possible risks
– Licenses of the components and integration
– Quality of the software components
– Intgration of the components in existing sofware
– Maintenance and evolution of the software

Project Mission
Specification of risk identification, management and mitigation methods
community-based and industry-supported Open Source Software (OSS) development, composition
and life cycle management
individually and collaboratively manage OSS adoption risks

The RISCOSS framework will enable industrial stakeholders to:
practicing an effective management of OSS integration related risks
controlling and reducing the costs derived from the adoption of OSS
pushing for innovation to take the best of this strategic movement

The supporting tool
PMI-NIC and FBK for RISCOSS Common interest in the problem of risk management
RISCOSS has a focused topic on OSS
Exploring two directions:
– Risk in OSS in IT companies where PMI members are active
– Use of the RISCOSS method for other risk related problems
Preparing the evaluation
Agreement between PMI-NIC and FBK to start the research activity
Then a call for volunteers:– We had 6 volunteers that participated in the experience– Volunteers are not new to the risk evaluation – But are new in risk analysis with automated tools
Identification of a project manager from Project Management Office of PMI-NIC for the RISCOSS evaluation activity
A meeting to: – explain the methodology – make a demo of some of the functionalities of the platform
The evaluation
Steps for the evaluation
The volunteers are trained to use the platform
Evaluate risks on:
– predefined scenarios
– scenarios from their daily experience
Report the evaluation of the experience via a questionnaire
– Replying to closed questions (in a [1,5] scale, 3 is neutral)
– Adding comments especially related to the actual possibility of using the platform in the PM activity
Evaluation results 1/3
Usefulness of the method and supporting platform
– Using RISCOSS would enable to make decisions more quickly, efficiently and effectively (on average 3.66, 4 and 3.83)
– Using the system it would increase the productivity (on average 3.3)
– In general having a tool that supports in making decisions is useful (on average 4.16)
Evaluation results 2/3
Interaction with the RISCOSS functionalities
– The objective of the risk management process in the platform was clear (on average 3.66)
– Learning to operate the RISCOSS would be NOT so easy (on average 2.66)
Evaluation results 3/3
Comments
– Appreciated the method and the possibility to have a level of automation in risk assessment
– Appreciated the possibility to specify new risk models
– Some scepticism on the possibility to have a completely automated risk assessment
– Possibility to exploit it in other fields (e.g., mechanical engineering, logistic) where it is possible to specify new risk models
Conclusion
Great human experience
Allowed the RISCOSS team to enter in contact with a different environment with respect to the typical IT area
About the questions– Allowed to get an important feedback on the real
usefulness and problems of the RISCOSS methodology and platform
About the comments– New ideas
– New possible risk models
– New contexts for the application
