Abstract

The article presents a study on the self-organization patterns in wasp and open source software (OSS) developer communities. A thorough discussion of these systems' similarities is offered. It discusses their similarity in global organization patterns, such as hierarchy and clear labor division. It analyzes the patterns and functional significance of wasp and OSS developer systems' weighted-interaction networks. The importance of self-organization in complex information systems is also mentioned.
