| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
From an empirical study of contributors in bug bounty programs, we found different motivations for contributing software development projects. A study of the effect of the badges for donors in Eclipse, an open source software project, statistically confirms that there is a signaling effect on the badges granted to contributors in the bug reporting process. From theoretical research, mechanisms to the revenue maximization problem in the vulnerability information market has been proposed. A car-sharing system was developed and operated as an experimental field. This can be considered as a market for shared resource allocation. The incentives are designed based on the results of the pre-operations at NAIST, keeping in mind the characteristics that make shared resources sustainable, such as availability of accurate information, homogeneity of users, and stability of users.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は，これまでソフトウェア工学分野で研究が進んでいない脆弱性情報市場の課題や挑戦に初めて取り組むものである．そのアプローチは，経済パラダイムを導入したゲーム理論やメカニズムデザイン研究との融合であり，新しい研究領域ソフトウェアエコノミクスへ結びつく可能性がある．開発したカーシェアシステムは，コミュニティ通貨を介して，参加者間で価値をやり取りするプラットフォームの実験フィールドとなっている．特に，他のユーザの需要を可視化するとともに，他のユーザへの好ましい振る舞いに報酬を設定したインセンティブ設計となっている．インセンティブ実装の基盤として将来的な拡張が可能である．
