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 Digital Ecosystem pilot implementation, 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 join and collaborate. The two support projects have decided to collaborate as well

Regions which have already activated digital business ecosystems

Regions which have the DBE concept within the Operative Plan or are joining the Digital Ecosystem initiative

Regions / Areas in the process of evaluating to be associated with the Digital Ecosystem initiative

Digital Ecosystem and Open Knowledge : Software and Guidelines

The software infrastructure enabling the Digital Ecosystemsis is being developed and published via a number of related open-source projects.
Until now, some projects are hosted on Sourceforge, a collaborative software development management system.
in order to address the issue of the proliferation of DE enabling infrastructures, the community has activate a debate, based on the paper of Maurizio De Cecco: "Infrastructures for Digital Business Ecosystems : the wrong question ?" You can participate to the debate from here.

Todays' architectural implementations

The initial rudimental experimental software related to DBE project

Initial information here.

The DBE Execution Environment (Swallow [ExE] subprojet) project provided the peer-to-peer middleware on which both the infrastructural and business services run. The ExE has been released under the GNU LGPL. It was based on FADA components (Federated Autonomous Distributed Direchtory Architecture, FADA community)
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] was released before end 2006 and was an initial references for more modern digital ecosystems architectures (see above).

Digital Ecosystem : Guidelines

Digital Business Ecosystem Implementation Guidelines

Guidelines produced by PEARDROP project (in the following 7 languages: EN, FR, ES, IT, CZ, EE, PL) . The project produced short and easy to understand explanations on DBE related domains (e.g. legal, technical, financial) in order to activate it at regional / local level:

Regional and Open Source Communities, Blogs, Forums, Wiki, Newsfeeds, ...

Research Teams and organisations involved in EU Projects

International Institutions

Tribute: people sources of inspiration

System Theory, Cybernetics, Autopoiesis, Epistemology,

Knowledge, Innovation Dynamics, Social networking, Virtual Communities

Economics, Commons and IPR
