Digital Ecosystem Regions and Pilots
With the objective to speeed-up the adoption and the deployment of a network
of regional digital business ecosystems, the regions which already work together
to exchange experience (and solutions) about DBE pilot implementation [DBE
Pilot regions and DBE associated regions], plus the regions
which are
planning to implement digital business ecosystems [e.g. the ones which have
included it within their operative plans] have decided to formalise their
collaboration creating REDEN: the REgional Network of Digital Ecosystems.
REDEN is in the process of formalisation.
The REDEN website is here http://reden.opaals.org/

Regions / Areas in the process of evaluating to be associated with the Digital
Ecosystem initiative
- Among >20 regions in several countries from EU including (Spain, Germany,
France, Hungary, Slovenia, Sweden, Finland, Danemark, Italy, UK, Ireland,
Spain, Greece, Portugal, Check Republic) and outside EU (including India,
Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina)
Digital Ecosystem Software and Open Knowledge
The software infrastructure enabling the DBE is being developed and published
via a number of related open-source projects.
Until now, these projects are all hosted on Sourceforge, a collaborative software
development management system.
You could start from here.
The DBE Execution Environment (Swallow
[ExE] subprojet) project provides the peer-to-peer middleware
on which both the infrastructural and business services run. The ExE is released
under the GNU LGPL. FADA community
(Federated Autonomous Distributed Direchtory Architecture)
The DBE Studio is the integrated
development environment for the DBE, built on the eclipse platform. The DBE
Studio contains the editors, tools and wizards that support the analysis of
business services, as well as the definition, development and deployment of
the corresponding software services onto the ExE. The DBE Studio is released
under the Eclipse Public License.
The Evolutionary Environment [EvE] subproject is in progress, expected to be
released before end 2006.
