Trusted Information and Communication Environments [Ecosystems] for Collaboration and Innovation

The key feature of an ecosystem is its evolution in state and time in order to adapt, resist and response to new human needs. This workshop will focus its attention on affordable, open, pervasive, decentralised negotiation environments able to support the sharing of knowledge and resources in ecosystems while evolving with the changing market conditions. A central role in this will be devoted to explore how social sciences can bridge the many gaps between human and machine trusted communications allowing people to build their own networks of trust and reliance within and between ecosystems according to their needs.

Focus on open-source collaborative environment, operative models of negotiation, strategies, contracts and agreements and trust.

We will analyze opportunistic and collaborative approach, which directly supports the dynamic creation of digital coalitions.

New innovative (eco)systems, including Grid computing, tend to have self-driven policy-based communications and cooperations with (business) partners in order to perform their everyday tasks. Those communications and cooperations require business policies of cooperating systems to be (partially) disclosed in order to reconcile partners' needs and perform business-to-business communications. The policy diclosure and requirements must be carefully protected against distrusted partners as it may lead sensitive information for partners' business.

iAccess provides a scheme and a framework for proper access rights establishment between on-line partners. The framework offers a solid based access control management that can underline trusted communications among new innovative systems.

- Digital Ecosystem Architectures, is it really an SOA?

SOA has been designed and envisioned for inside Enterprise integration as a means to bridge systems and to create a governance layer on top of existing platforms as either legacy or assets. Now the industry is heavily moving to B2B environments and business ecosystems where the parties are not single department applications but rather Enterprises.
While inside Enterprises there is administration ability of the SOA infrastructure, ability to handle the network, gain control over resources and IP, and everything is reasonably under control, between enterprise and SMEs this is not true any more ÔÇô IPs may change, protocols are subject to be replaced without notice, UDDI needs to be shared among parties, UDDI becomes vital for indexing and discovering services, and models need to change at a pace which is faster than any ability to maintains coherence and harmonization via a coordination process. The entire ecosystem becomes a very loosely coupled community which brings news challenges in SOA architecture, and dealing with this reality requires re-thinking of the founding principles and technology of SOA.
This talk will address these and other issues facing the next generation of projects that are already ingoing. The presentation will delve into these issues, tackling SOA and proposing new techniques, and borrowing concepts from real industrial and research projects that are currently under development and that the speaker is leading as an Enterprise Architect, Digital Business Ecosystem is one of these. He will describe P2P based approaches for service registry, decentralized model repositories, scale free network, and additional references to cutting edge technologies in the Business Ecosystem arena
