Collaborative tools are among the most resource intensive applications today. Broadband technologies such as fiber-optic communication provide a way to bring these tools to a collaborative platform regardless of geography. In this paper, we focus on the feasibility of the network architecture that supports the collaboration. We solve the routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) problem in this specific...
The collaborative networks paradigm, supported by advanced community building and collaboration ICT platforms, can provide a new approach to active ageing. This paper introduces first results of a road mapping initiative towards the elaboration of a new vision for extending professional active life. To support this vision, a strategic research plan for the development of a new digital ecosystem, covering...
The increasing rate of technological development is changing how we interact socially, commercially, and politically, making this an exciting yet challenging time in which to live. As the pace of development is destabilising the status quo, it is increasingly important for individuals and organisations alike to adapt. Research, development, and commercialisation are important tools in facilitating...
3D virtual worlds are potent digital ecosystems because the 3D interface simulates real-world environments and the community of users creates a dynamic, real-to-life economy and in-world culture. Some virtual worlds such as Second Life empower users to generate in-world content through object building tools and programming languages; indeed the content in Second Life is entirely user-generated. This...
The concept of ldquoenterprise universityrdquo emerged to denote the new kind of higher education institution that resembles many elements of corporate governance. It has a tighter interaction and integration in the environment, as has to take in account market factors, such as student fee incomes, soft budget allocations for special initiatives, including research funding, risk factors and others...
Wikis, best represented by the popular and highly successful Wikipedia system, have established themselves as important components of a collaboration infrastructure. We suggest that the complex network of user-contributors in volunteer-contributed wikis constitutes a digital ecosystem that bears all the characteristics typical of such systems. This paper presents an analysis supporting this notion...
In digital ecosystems, where they are no central authorities or single points of failure or control, entities form dynamic relationships to facilitate transactions and knowledge sharing. These relationships are contextual, evolving and not subject to central moderation. The devolved structure of these emergent environments pose unique challenges for identity. In this paper, we build on previous work...
The last few years have seen a massive push towards collaborative working methods in the humanities. Many large and small eHumanities Digital Ecosystems (DEs) have sprung into existence. The big challenge ahead is now to see how these subsystems can begin to merge into one larger eHumanities DE while still maintaining their individual characters and strengths. Starting out from a presentation of TextGrid...
Agile enterprise networks require a collaborative learning infrastructure. In this paper we present a collaborative learning environment focussing on self-organized learning processes in automotive ecosystems. Developed within the EC-project SUddEN it implements an integrated, however modular approach to intelligent content management and context-sensitive communication. On-the-job learning comprises...
Co-intelligence, also known as collective or collaborative intelligence, is the harnessing of human knowledge and intelligence that allows groups of people to act together in ways that seem to be intelligent. Co-intelligence Internet applications such as Wikipedia are the first steps toward developing digital ecosystems that support collective intelligence. Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are well fitted...
The concept of this paper is to help Living Labs to handle the complexity of their environment and step forward the movement towards co-evolutionary organizational networks. The proposed concept can offer significant benefits for the coordination of Living Lab initiatives because it clarifies the attributes of the research environments, outlines the general context in which research activities take...
Creating, modifying and/or maintaining a software system is a time consuming and complex process. The digital ecosystem is a new concept introduced into the computer science and information systems world. New and already existing systems need to be integrated into these wider digital ecosystems. Here, it is crucial for the developer to understand the systems that need to be integrated to ensure that...
This paper describes parts of a research project that focused Future Mobile Customer Relationship Management (M-CRM) in the automotive industry and the tourism. Therefore, the paper deals with the possibilities and aspects to support CRM via future mobile services. The key profiles of future mobile communication are Interactive Broadband Protocols, Location Based Services and Individualized/Personalized...
