JChemPaint is a chemical structure drawing applet. The noteworthy characteristic of this 2D molecule editor is that it is an open source program [208]. This means that the software and the source code of the program are freely available. Every programmer or interested person can participate and enter individual special requests for further development of the application. [Pg.144]

The hardware situation continued to evolve. Personal computers became ever more powerful in terms of speed and the amount of random access memory (RAM) and hard drive capacity. The price of PCs continued to fall. Clusters of PCs were built. Use of the open-source Linux operating system spread in the 1990s. Distributed processing was developed so a long calculation could be farmed out to separate machines. Massively parallel processing was tried. All these changes meant that the days of the supercomputers were numbered. [Pg.35]

Whether life sciences informatics software ultimately becomes a commodity, with the commercial rewards for software companies being in packaging, integration, support, and deployment (in a similar way to the Linux community), and what impact the open source movement will have. In bioinformatics and chemoinformatics, open source, free software, and shareware are increasing in quantity, and it is becoming common for smaller software companies at least to release reduced-functionality versions of their software into the public domain at no cost.

It is essential that, with the use of evidence-based medicine to inform decisions in health care, the processes used in program development be as transparent as possible. Information about the limited evidence and inherent uncertainty should be disclosed and available for scrutiny, even within the software itself. In fact, in an attempt to maximize transparency, some have advocated open source development and publication of interactive software models [49, 50]. Certainly, details of methodologies, sources, and other techniques employed for development of the underlying models must be acknowledged. However, the proprietary nature of many of these programs must be taken into consideration and measures put into place to ensure confidentiality. Requested publication of all NIH-sponsored research online (in PubMed) [51] within a reasonable time frame after journal acceptance will help to ensure that these data are available in the public domain in short order.

Depending on the size of the CRO and the nature of the trial, the system may be acquired in one of the following ways (1) developed in-house by the organization s staff with off-the-shelf commercial software, (2) outsourced to outside contractors, (3) with open source/free software (OSS/FS), and (4) purchased from e-clinical proprietary vendors.
