Software engineering success stories Software engineering success stories CICS® (Customer Information Control System) is a transaction server that runs primarily on IBM mainframe systems under z/OS or z/VSE. CICS is available for other operating systems, notably i5/OS, OS/2, and as the closely related IBM TXSeries software on AIX, Windows, and Linux, among others. The z/OS implementation is by far the most popular and significant. ...more on Wikipedia about "CICS"
GNU ( pronounced ) is a free software operating system. Its name is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix", which was chosen because its design is Unix-like, but it contains no actual UNIX code. The GNU system, combined with a third-party kernel called Linux, is one of the most widely used operating systems in the world, commonly known as either "GNU/Linux" or often simply "Linux" (see GNU/Linux naming debate). The plan for the GNU operating system was announced in September 1983 by Richard Stallman and software development work began in January 1984. The project to develop GNU is known as the GNU Project, and programs released under the auspices of the GNU Project are called GNU packages or GNU programs. ...more on Wikipedia about "GNU"
Linux is a computer operating system and its kernel. It is one of the most prominent examples of free software and of open-source development: unlike proprietary operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS, all of its underlying source code is available to the public and anyone can freely use, modify, improve, and redistribute it. ...more on Wikipedia about "Linux"
Mondex is a smart card electronic cash system which was developed originally by National Westminster Bank and subsequently sold to MasterCard International.

Open source describes general practices in production and development which promote access to the end product's sources. It is regarded by some as a philosophy and by others a pragmatic methodology. Developers and producers had used many different phrases and jargon words before open source became widely adopted, as the early Internet years provided a rapid convergence of socially diverse production models. With the revolutionary increase in interactive communities and their direct involvement with the Internet, open-source software became the most prominent face of open source. Even though the Internet started in 1969 with open standards like RFCs, it wasn't until 1998 that open source became a label applied to software to denote the same collaborative effort which began the Internet. The open source model allows for the concurrent use of different agendas and approaches in production, and it contrasts with more isolated models. ...more on Wikipedia about "Open source"
