Special Issue on Models and Protocols for Digital Ecosystems
Springer Computing Journal
http://www.springer.com/computer/journal/607
**************************************************************
Digital Ecosystems are an emerging paradigm capturing the behavior of
large-scale collaborating communities on the global ICT
infrastructure. Such behavior includes critical features like
dynamicity of coalitions, different data access paradigms (including
the ones known as "big data"), vulnerability to new types of attacks
and support for innovative value generation and sharing.
This special issue is open to researchers from both academia and
industry working on the Digital Ecosystem paradigm.
Topics of interest include:
1. Models for the design, verification, and validation of functional
and non-functional features of ecosystem coalitions.
2. Protocols and interaction techniques suitable for large-scale
ecosystem collaborations.
3. Design and access frameworks for ecosystem "big data" layers.
4. Value and revenue models for business ecosystems.
Contributions are sought on novel theoretical approaches, as well as
on practical experiences and experimental results regarding Digital
Ecosystems.
