[AISWorld] Pre-ICIS Event: International Workshop on Software Ecosystems in Dublin

[Slinger Roijackers (Jansen)]

*8th International Workshop on Software Ecosystems (IWSECO)*
10th of December 2016
https://iwseco.org/

Co-located with the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS)
Dublin, Ireland
December 10-14, 2016

*Software Ecosystems*
Software ecosystems are becoming increasingly pervasive, leading to new
research, management, and engineering challenges. Opening product
architectures and platforms for third parties, designing closed innovation
networks among partners through APIs and SDKs, coordinating multiple
platforms, or participative engineering across organizational borders are
all variants of ecosystems that come with their own opportunities and
threats at the same time.

IWSECO aims to further increase the body of knowledge about software
ecosystems by providing a forum to exchange ideas and discuss the most
recent innovations, trends and experiences in the field. IWSECO further
aims to build and shape the community of leading practitioners and research
experts by providing forums for the exchange of research results and
industrial practice in software ecosystems.

RELEVANT TOPICS

The IWSECO seeks submissions of papers describing novel research,
experience reports, and emerging ideas. We invite the submission from
research and industrial practice describing original and unpublished
results in the field of software ecosystems. Topics of interest include,
but are certainly not limited to:

   - Ecosystem and platform architecture, evolution and lifecycle
   - Tools for inter-system static and/or dynamic analysis, visualization,
   and monitoring
   - App architectures and app orchestration
   - Experience reports on best practices in ecosystem design, modeling and
   architectures
   - Empirical studies of ecosystem phenomena
   - Processes for ecosystems and community management
   - Business cases, economics, strategies and governance for software
   ecosystems
   - Social and collaborative aspects of software ecosystems
   - And everything that enables to scale architectures up to the level of
   software ecosystems!
