Enterprise mashups (EMs) are a new technology that enables the automation of situational needs of knowledge workers. EMs imply a new development paradigm based on the peer production philosophy and empower end users to create individual applications without the involvement of the IT department. So far, there is insufficient research on potential benefits of EMs. This paper contributes to fill this...
This paper provides the results of a state-of-the-art analysis of emerging context providers, conceptualizes a future ecosystem for context information, and describes the role of telecom operators in such ecosystems. The state-of-the-art analysis of emerging context providers focuses on three types of context providers: location information providers, social network sites, and wireless sensor networks...
This paper analyzes how new mobile platforms change existing value networks in the mobile service industry and describes how mobile network operators (MNOs) can react to such changes to remain competitive. A state-of-the-art analysis takes stock of mobile platforms provided by, e.g., device manufacturers and Internet companies. The business model of and ecosystem around such platforms are examined...
Context-aware services, such as location-based services, augmented reality applications, smart enterprise or assisted living applications, constitute a cornerstone of the Future Internet. One important part of such applications is context information that describes the situation in which users consume the service. While earlier context referred mainly to location information provided by network operators,...
In this paper, a concept for usage of social network information as context information is proposed. Social network information (or information from social network sites) is considered as a specific type of a user's social context. We start with the potentially most widely accepted definition of context and then examine selected categorizations of context types, particularly focusing on social context...
The huge demand for situational and ad-hoc applications desired by the mass of business end users cannot be fully covered by traditional service-oriented architectures (SOAs). By putting a face on SOA, enterprise mashups empower these end users to combine and reuse Web-based resources within minutes to create value added applications. In this paper, we present the SAP research RoofTop marketplace...
The process of business negotiations of complex products or services is an essential binding element in today's dynamic global markets. The digital business ecosystem (DBE) paradigm provides a concept for understanding such dynamic global businesses. However, an analysis form a business model perspective is still missing. This paper presents the case study of an envisioned open source decentralized...

There are different approaches for these cooperation models such as virtual enterprises, virtual organizations or dynamic electronic institutions which in their lifecycle have in common a dissolution phase. However this phase...
Mobile TV is expected to be the crucial mobile service application driving the short-and mid-term development of the mobile service industry. Mobile TV can be seen as the bearer of additional interactive service elements. Interactivity is perceived to be a new source of revenue and the decisive factor for success of future mobile TV and other mobile broadcasting services. Interactivity is defined,...
This paper introduces the results of two independently conducted surveys, both looking at the expectations of today's users of future mobile broadcasting/multicasting services. The goal is to explain what today's mobile users think about and expect from new mobile services and technologies.
The Digital Ecosystem (DES) paradigm and consequently Digital Business Ecosystems (DBE) are powerful emerging inter-company cooperative structures. One of the main advantages of an ecosystem is the enabling of alliances among companies with complementary or even competitive competences in order to be able to provide complex offerings beyond the capabilities of a single company. The process of negotiation...
