Welcome
to the International Conference
on Management
of Emergent Digital EcoSystems
(MEDES'10)
October
26 - 29, 2010
Bangkok - Thailand
In
the world of the Internet, the rapid growth and exponential use of
digital medias leads to the emergence of virtual
environments namely digital
ecosystems composed of multiple and independent entities such as individuals,
organizations, services, software and applications sharing one or
several missions and focusing on the interactions and
inter-relationships among them. The digital ecosystem exhibits
self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination and
evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by
each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying
resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services,
computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms.
Due
to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems and their
characteristics, they are highly complex to study and design. This also
leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower
digital ecosystems to be innovative and value-creating. The application
of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the
understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact
to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and
knowledge . These technologies can be improved through novel
techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as data
management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer
interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing
systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage
their resources.
The International
Conference on
Management of Emergent Digital
EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to
develop and bring together a diverse
community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested
in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource
management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and
technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end.
