------------------------------ Call for Papers -------------------------------------------
Third IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies (IEEE-DEST 2009)
Istanbul, Turkey 1-3 June 2009
http://dest2009.debii.curtin.edu.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=vi ew&id=26&Itemid=40
Special theme: Cyber Engineering and Human Space Computing
Workshops and Tutorials to be held on 31 May 2009
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------
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 goal, and everyone is proactive and responsive for their 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 are empowered by the cyber engineering and human space computing. Cyber engineering studies the digital horizon in our ecosystems, also known as Cloud computing. It encompasses the semantic web, ontologies, cyber security, privacy, trust and risk management, 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, businesses or government. It studies the world we live in, and personal space computing, our space, between the digital skyline and our ecosystems.
Prospective participants are invited to electronically submit a full paper (6 pages, about 4500 words, pdf or WinWord file) of their original work following the IEEE instructions available on this website. Each paper will undergo a rigorous peer reviewed process involving at least two reviewers.
The main conference theme is to strengthen ICT to support different digital ecosystems, especially focusing on cyber engineering and human space computing. It is the study of triangle relationship between industries, human endeavours and advanced ICT.
We are interested in papers, work-in-progress reports, and industrial experiences describing advances in all areas of digital business applications.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Collaborative and Connectivity in Digital Ecosystems
Web Spam - Adversarial Information Retrieval in Digital Ecosystems
Models of Open Transactions in Digital Ecosystems
Governance in Large Heterogeneous IT Systems
Democratising Collaborative Research Patterns
Performance and Evaluation of Digital Ecosystems

BRIEF THEME OF THE IEEE DEST 2009 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 sustainabil! ity. 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.
