===========================================================
6th Workshop on Software Ecosystems (IWSECO)
http://iwseco.org/
2nd International Workshop on Ecosystem Architectures (WEA)
http://wea.github.com
Co-located with the European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA)
University of Vienna, Austria,
August 25 - 29, 2014
===========================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS
The creation and adoption of software ecosystems is becoming increasingly
pervasive, leading to new research and management challenges and
opportunities. Several companies are platformizing successful products and
opening these products up for outside innovation where customers expect to
be actively involved in the shaping of the technology they use. This also
leads to new opportunities and challenges regarding new business models,
open innovation, collaborative development, strategic planning, and
coordination of multiple platforms. IWSECO and WEA aim to further increase
the body of knowledge in software ecosystems by providing a forum to
exchange ideas and discuss the most recent innovations, trends and
experiences in the field. It aims to build and shape the community of
leading practitioners and research experts by providing a forum for the
exchange of research results and industrial practice in software ecosystems.
By co-locating both, IWSECO and WEA we aim at attracting and involving
interested participants from the software engineering community in an early
stage of shaping software ecosystem research and community building. The
co-located workshops will be a venue for practitioners and researchers to
share experience and lessons learned; with a particular focus on
architecture, as the ecosystem architecture can actually determine the
success or failure of software ecosystems as a whole.
RELEVANT TOPICS
We invite the submission of high quality research and industrial papers
describing original and unpublished results in the field of software and
business ecosystems. Topics of interest include, but are certainly not
limited to:
- Business cases, economics, strategies and governance for software
ecosystems
- Experience reports on best practices in ecosystem design,modeling and
architectures
- Evolution and lifecycle issues of software ecosystems
- Tools for inter-system static and/or dynamic analysis, visualization, and
monitoring
- Empirical studies of ecosystem phenomena (lifecycle, evolution,
architectures)
- Working Processes for evolving software ecosystems and community
management
SUBMISSIONS
We welcome both research and industry papers. They must be original and not
submitted to or accepted by any other workshop, conference or journal.
Submissions must follow the ACM SIG Proceedings Style, 2-column and should
not exceed 6 pages. Templates can be downloaded at
