Abstract:

Accelerating the development of China's process manufacturing industrial software through open-source innovation has emerged as a critical national strategic priority. This initiative, however, confronts dual challenges: securing the open-source supply chain against potential risks when leveraging existing resources and cultivating a sustainable open-source ecosystem through global collaboration. This paper systematically examined core concepts of open-source software, open-source ecosystem and licensing, while identifying vulnerabilities inherent in open-source supply chains. Through a case analysis of chemical process simulation software, it evaluated global open-source advancements and governance frameworks across three technical domains: molecular simulation, computational fluid dynamics and industrial-scale process modeling. Comparative insights were drawn from India's national open-source education programs and the collaborative open-source practices of multinational energy/chemical corporations. Building on this analysis, the study proposed a "321" Open-Source Innovation Ecosystem Framework, structured around three pillars: foundational capability enhancement, industry-academia-government collaboration and integrated security protocols. Specific implementation priorities and strategic approaches were delineated across four operational tiers: governmental policymaking, industry alliance coordination, corporate implementation and academic research. This research provided a strategic roadmap for China to transition from technological emulation to co-innovation and eventual global leadership in process manufacturing software, offering evidence-based recommendations for open-source strategy formulation and execution.

摘要：

通过开源模式加快发展我国流程制造工业软件成为国家战略需求。然而，面临两方面挑战：一是在利用开源资源方面，如何防范开源供应链风险；二是在发展开源软件方面，如何构建健康繁荣的开源生态。文章首先阐述了开源软件、开源生态和许可证等基本内涵，分析了开源供应链的安全风险。接着，以化工过程模拟软件为例，从分子模拟、计算流体动力学和流程模拟三个方面，研究了国际开源现状和治理模式，分析了印度政府的开源软件教育项目和国际能源化工企业的开源实践及启示。在此基础上，提出了“321”开源创新生态建设框架，包含基础能力建设、协同发展和安全保障三大领域。从政府、行业联盟/组织、企业和高校四个层面，分别提出了具体的工作重点和发展策略。本文旨在为我国流程制造工业软件开源战略的制定和实施提供参考，推动流程制造工业软件从“跟跑”到“并跑”乃至“领跑”的跨越式发展。
