                                Call for Papers

 

In our Digital Age, strong development of digital network infrastructure has
dominated our

service delivery, economic growth and life style. Future applications in
domains such as

Healthcare/Health-Science, Energy, Social Networks and Logistics demand
infrastructures

that are more agile than those operated currently. Digital Ecosystems aim to
capture the

notion of such agile and adaptive infrastructures. Digital Ecosystem
Technologies encompass

the advent of the whole spectrum of Internet technologies, starting from the
hyperlinked

web towards pervasive internet applications, from Peer-to-Peer systems to
Grid

middleware, followed by Cloud Services, Agent technologies, Sensor Networks
and Cyber-

Physical systems, which has become a major theme for business process
digitalization.

Digital Ecosystems inherit concepts of open, loosely coupled, demand-driven,
domain clustered,

agent-based self-organized collaborative environments where species/agents
form a

temporary coalition (or longer term) for a specific purpose or goals. Within
this environment

everyone is proactive and responsive for their own benefit or profit. The
essence of

digital ecosystems is the adoption of ecological system concepts, and
creating value by

making connections through collective intelligence and promoting
collaboration instead of

unbridled competition and ICT-based catalyst effects in a number of domains,
to produce

networked enriched communities and solutions. Today's global challenges such
as in Energy

and Sustainability, Healthcare and an Aging Society, Public Safety and
Security, or Democracy

and Participation/Involvement confront us with the most Complex
Environments.

 

Traditional ICT-support has often increased complexity, thus making the
challenges even

more severe. The Digital Ecosystem perspective aims to address the twofold
challenge of

Complex Environment Engineering and Digital Ecosystem Technology mapping.
The complexity

of both the challenges and the technological solutions has to be
acknowledged.

 

IEEE DEST-CEE is jointly conducted with IFIP 2.6 - 2.12 SIMPDA
(International Symposium

on Data Driven Process Discovery and Analysis,
http://sesar.dti.unimi.it/SIMPDA2012).

This acknowledges the key role of business process data modeling,
representation and

privacy-aware analysis for Digital Ecosystems, and vice versa. Further, the
Innovation Adoption

Forum underpins the importance of public-private partnership as the key for
delivering

sustainable solutions for our Complex Living and Business Environment û and
thus our

Digital Ecosystem Habitat. Our Keynotes, Panels and Sessions will tackle the
multifaceted

challenges and solutions from various stakeholders’ perspectives.
