Overview: Open-source software supply chains wield significant influence in the software industry, drawing substantial interest from enterprises, researchers, and policymakers. Leveraging third-party libraries to build software applications is a common practice aimed at cost savings and software quality enhancement. However, heavy reliance on external libraries often leads to a state of “dependency hell”, marked by issues like incompatibilities, conflicting versions, bloated dependencies, and the inclusion of vulnerable library versions. Despite extensive research on software dependency management and the evolution of software supply chains, questions linger regarding the variances in dependency challenges across programming language ecosystems and how best to address the dependency hell phenomenon from an ecosystem-wide perspective. The main audience of this book is software engineering researchers and students with an academic background interested in learning about dependency management of third-party libraries, quality assurance of software supply chains, and evolution of open-source software ecosystems. It will also be of interest to industrialists including software engineers, quality professionals, and software managers, as well as motivated general readers. They will benefit from our systematic studies on the dependency hell phenomenon in various programming language communities (Java, Python, Golang, .NET, Node.js, etc.) and the valuable associated artifacts (a toolkit and datasets). This book enables faster advances in the software engineering research area, a better selection of research targets, and a timely adoption of promising results.
