NCOSS-09: National Conference on Open Source Software

May 25th - 26th, 2009, Mumbai, India

Organized by

C-DAC, Mumbai

Supported by

IEEE Computer Society, Mumbai and Chennai chapters

Computer Society of India, Div II on Software & SIG-OSS

* * *   CALL FOR PAPERS   * * *

NCOSS - 2009 is being conceived of as a forum to bring together the
various groups working on developing Open Source Applications catering
to specific domains in the ICT world, including education, health,
accessibility, localisation, e-commerce, disaster management, expert
systems, machine learning, etc. A number of high quality software
solutions are available in many of these areas, for example, SugarCRM,
Koha, Drupal, Moodle, Sahana, CollabCAD, etc. Work on these systems
require a combination of domain knowledge and development expertise.
Much of the public awareness in open source is focussed on desktop,
operating system and general productivity tools. With this background,
NCOSS-09 has chosen to focus on the layer above this, bringing
together groups working on various application domains.

The conference will present experiences in deploying FOSS
applications, comparative studies among competing software solutions,
efforts in adapting and localising FOSS applications, development of
new applications, etc. The conference will consist of the following:

    *

      Invited talks by experts from India and abroad
    *

      Presentation of contributed papers selected based on refereeing
by a panel of referees
    *

      Exhibition by industry and academia
