<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">SCOPE OF IWSECO-WEA<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Software ecosystems are becoming increasingly pervasive, leading to new research, management, and engineering challenges. Opening product architectures and platforms for third parties, designing closed innovation networks
among partners through APIs and SDKs, coordinating multiple platforms, or participative engineering across organizational borders are all variants of ecosystems that come with their own opportunities and threats at the same time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">IWSECO and WEA aim to further increase the body of knowledge about software ecosystems by providing a forum to exchange ideas and discuss the most recent innovations, trends and experiences in the field. They aim to
build and shape the community of leading practitioners and research experts by providing forums for the exchange of research results and industrial practice in software ecosystems.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Co-organizing IWSECO and WEA will provide a venue for practitioners and researchers to share their lessons learned in two cross-cutting aspects of software ecosystems:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">(1) business and social<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">(2) architecture and technology<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">The co-organization allows us to attract and involve a larger group of interested participants from the software architecture community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">RELEVANT TOPICS<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">The co-organized workshops IWSECO and WEA seek submissions of papers describing novel research, experience reports, and emerging ideas. We invite the submission from research and industrial practice describing original
and unpublished results in the field of software ecosystems. Topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited to:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">- Ecosystem and platform architecture, evolution and lifecycle<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Tools for inter-system static and/or dynamic analysis, visualization, and monitoring<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">App architectures and app orchestration<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Experience reports on best practices in ecosystem design, modeling and architectures<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Empirical studies of ecosystem phenomena<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Processes for ecosystems and community management<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Business cases, economics, strategies and governance for software ecosystems<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Social and collaborative aspects of software ecosystems<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">And everything that enables to scale architectures up to the level of software ecosystems!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
