Publication Evaluating Open Source Software Using The Selection Criteria And Analytical Hierarchy Process(American-Eurasian Network for Scientific Information, 2013) ;Yusmadi Yah Jusoh ;Khadijah Chamili ;Jamaiah Hj. YahayaNoraini Che PaThere are many potential and good open source software (OSS) products available in the market with free license. However, with various choices, the adoption rate is still low among OSS potential users because there is not an agreed acceptable set of criteria to evaluate and decide varieties of OSS products, with little documentation and user manuals, and immature products. Therefore, the users need to consider on how to improve decision making on selecting the most suitable OSS products. In this paper, the background research on the proposed OSS adoption and criteria of selection are discussed and explored which then moves to the implementation of the My Open Source Software Toolkit (MyOSST) v1.0. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was applied for selecting the most suitable OSS products and assisting the potential user for deciding the OSS products based on their preferred selection criteria. The toolkit will support the OSS adoption process with proposed criteria selection and pair wise comparison. The toolkit was tested and validated by IT professionals capable to assist the decision making on selecting an appropriate OSS product. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Open Source Software Selection Using an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)(Science Publishing Group, 2014) ;Yusmadi Yah Jusoh ;Khadijah Chamili ;Noraini Che PaJamaiah H. YahayaThere are many potential and good open source software (OSS) products available on the market with a free license. However, with various choices, the adoption rate is still low among potential users because there is not an agreed acceptable set of criteria to evaluate and select various OSS. The criteria of selection may differ between the stakeholders within the organisations. There is a tendency that the user may have a biased perception of an OSS’s characteristics or capabilities for solving problems when selecting OSS products. Other restrictions are caused by inadequate documentation and user manuals, and immature products. Therefore, the users need to consider how to improve their decision making when selecting the most suitable OSS products. In this paper, the background research on the proposed OSS adoption and criteria of selection are discussed and explored. Then the research methodology, processes and implementation of the My Open Source Software Toolkit (MyOSST) v1.0 are covered. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was applied on the selection process and for the purpose of assisting the potential user to decide on the OSS products based on their preferred selection criteria. MyOSST v1.0 was tested and validated by IT professionals in one of the Malaysian universities. The results show that the tool is capable of assisting the decision making process for selecting an appropriate OSS product.
