IEEE DEST 2011 - Architectures for Digital Ecosystems

Venue : - Country : Korea
Begin : May 31, 2011 End : Jun 3, 2011

Keynote Abstract: the theory behind business ecosystems is based on the dynamic interaction of organizations; over time, these groups co-evolve their capabilities and roles and tend to align themselves with the directions set by one or more companies that drive the evolution of the environment. There is the need to extend service-oriented architecture in order to face the challenges that are unique to digital ecosystems. Dr. Ferronato will address a misconception about Business-to-Business (B2B) solutions, emphasizing the difference between uppercase B2B and lower-case B2B. The keynote also introduces the features of a new architectural style, which the author calls ecosystem-oriented architecture (EOA). The talk will be also the occasion to exemplify the concepts through the EU projects SOCIETIES and COIN.
