The digital ecosystem is defined as an open, loosely coupled, demand-driven, domain clustered, agent-based self organized collaborative environment where species/agents form a temporary coalition (or longer term) for a specific purpose or goals, and everyone is proactive and responsive for its own benefit or profit. The essence of digital ecosystems is creating value by making connections through collective intelligence. Digital Ecosystems promote collaboration instead of unbridled competition and ICT based catalyst effect in a number of domains to produce networked enriched communities.

Digital Ecosystems is empowered by the cyber engineering and human space computing. Cyber engineering addresses digital horizon in our ecosystems, social technical computing and cyber security, privacy, trust, risk and accountability, social networks, web 2.0, 3.0, Convergence technologies, web services and grid technologies. Human space computing is about the study of the technology (Bluetooth, WiFi, IRDA, RFID, GSM, GPRS, 3G Digital Pens, PDAs, Mobile Phones , VoIP, Video, Voice, Data, other devices) for improvement of our human lives, not just organizations, business and government. It studies the world we live in, and personal space computing, our space, between the digital skyline and our ecosystems.

The main conference theme is to strengthen ICT to support different digital ecosystems, especially the study of triangle relationship between industries, human endeavors? and advanced ICT and is empowered by inter-discipline, multi-discipline and trans-discipline research. Digital Ecosystems are essentially about creating value by making connections in different domains through adoption of the modern networked society and economy supported by different forms of digital infrastructure, services and collaborative technology frameworks, instead of unbridled competition and ICT based catalyst effect to produce human empowered communities.

The new initiative on Innovation Adoption for the IEEE DEST Conference Series aims to bring together stakeholders from all areas of the collaborative ecosystem: industry, political leaders and the public, to debate the role of ICT as a key enabler for economic growth, social development and individual well-being. Our Keynotes, Panels and Sessions will tackle the multifaceted challenges from the various stakeholders? perspectives.

Digital ecosystems capture the essence of the classical, complex ecological environment in nature, where organisms form a dynamic and interrelated complex ecosystem. They conserve and utilise the environment and its resources. This analogy is a new mind-set and way of thinking in the Digital Economy. Digital ecosystems transcend the traditional, rigorously defined collaborative environments, such as centralized (client-server) or distributed models (such as peer-to-peer) or hybrid model (such as web services) into a self-organized, interactive environment which offers cost-effective services and value-creating activities that attract human, organizational and software agents that participate in and benefit from it.

We are interested in papers, work-in-progress reports, and industrial experiences describing advances in all areas of digital business.

Brief Theme of the Conference:
---------------------------------------

Digital ecosystems capture the essence of the classical, complex ecological environment in nature, where organisms form a dynamic and interrelated complex ecosystem. They conserve and utilise the environment and its resources. This analogy is a new mind-set and way of thinking in the Digital Economy. The research targets Frontier Technologies for Digital Ecosystems and the building of specific services and information infrastructures to support the different application domains. It is an intersection between industry, business, human endeavours, social science, and cutting edge internet technologies and is application driven research. This conference series helps worldwide researchers further their understanding and broad application of the digital ecosystem ideas, principles and architecture in industry, business, government, social science and other domain disciplines to enhance the productivity, growth, prosperity and social, cultural and economic balance and sustainability. The main conference theme is to strengthen ICT to support different digital ecosystems, especially focusing on the architectural triangle between industries, human endeavours and advanced ICT. It includes conceptual frameworks, architectures, self-organizing infrastructures, swarm intelligence, ambient intelligence, autonomous agents, e-humanities, social networks, and service-oriented collaborative platforms. A special theme of this conference is collaboration instead of unbridled competition and ICT based catalyst effect in a number of domains to produce network enriched communities.
