The European Commission has finally published the book on Digital Ecosystem Research. Andrea Nicolai from T6 one of the editors toghether with Francesco Nachira, Paolo Dini, Marion Le Louarn and Lorena Rivera Leon.
The book collects more than 20 scientific papers on the results of five years of research in the area of Digital Ecoystems
In Section 1: “Science: New Paradigms”, the authors look at the more theoretical aspects of Digital Ecosystems research. Following a broad-sweeping discussion of the scientific foundations of Digital Ecosystems, the main concepts of biological ecosystems are presented in the second article of the section, together with their applicability to evolutionary and agent-based architectures. The third article then looks at ecosystems from the point of view of language and linguistics. The fourth and final article of the section looks at business ecosystems and organisations.
Section 2: “Economic and Social aspects” begins with an article on business and technology clusters of small firms and their increasingly dynamic role in the globalising economy. The second article addresses the challenge of developing a governance framework for Digital Ecosystems that can sustain the plurality of decision processes surrounding their social, technological and regulatory aspects. The third article is more economic in flavour and discusses a cost-benefit analysis framework for Digital Ecosystems, partly based on initial results from the participating regions. The fourth article focuses on knowledge, sustainability and scalability in open source Digital Ecosystems. The fifth and last article of the section discusses a regulatory framework for Digital Ecosystems organised around the concept of trust.
Section 3: “Digital Ecosystem Technology” is almost entirely focussed on architectural aspects. From distributed information and ecosystem-oriented architecture the section includes articles on DBE services, on Business modelling languages, on the dynamic and scale-free topology of the run-time environment, on distributed infrastructural services, on a negotiation environment, and finally on a simulation framework that can equally visualise the Evolutionary Environment and SME networks.
Section 4: “Case Studies of Technology Transfer and Digital Ecosystem Adoption” is focussed on DBE adoption. The first two articles discuss regional development. The third and fourth articles are case studies from the Regional Catalysts of the DBE Integrated Project. The final three articles are new and emerging regional experiences of direct or indirect relevance to Digital Ecosystems from India, Ireland and Brazil, respectively.
The final section, Section 5: “Digital Ecosystem Projects Cluster”, gives an overview of the Digital Ecosystems Cluster of research projects funded by the European Commission.
