This paper discusses the issue of social media within the context of the existing and emerging political-economic philosophies; arguing that although technological revolutions facilitate the emergence of new political-economic philosophies, it is these philosophies that determine the direction and deployment of these technologies. It is further argued that all indications point to the emergence of the inverted totalitarianism in the West, where free communication is seen as a real threat. The traditional totalitarian states already control the social media by controlling access to the internet, so for them, social media is another, and a slightly more challenging problem. The future of social media, it is argued, is highly uncertain and if both the online communities and civil societies are not careful and do not act in concert to inform and educate the public; there is a great chance that the social media will become another tool for control, propaganda and surveillance of the citizenry.

When the multi-agent paradigm is applied to cyber-physical ecosystems, the diagnosis of physical failures and unexpected interference must be handled by the agents' internal adaptive task planning or external maintenance. In both cases, a profound knowledge of potential dependencies and their run-time manifestations is required. The open, evolutionary aspect of such systems adds to the complexity of failure interaction patterns. As a solution, we propose to adopt techniques from the systemlevel diagnosis of automation systems. By extending existing MAS metamodels with explicit resource and dependency models, an integrated diagnostic knowledge base can be established. The diagnostic viewpoint provides interfaces with enhanced semantics based on causality and symptom propagation and transformation. The formalization enables the checking of diagnostic consistency based on interface compatibility. Results are demonstrated within a smart airport transport scenario.

This paper presents a flexible and collaborative transport organization, developed in the French PRODIGE project and based on two new paradigms: product-oriented routing problems and smart products. Reconfiguration of transportation being supported by opportunistic transshipment between different vehicles, the use of EPCglobal network is discussed as an efficient and agile method to guarantee no break in the traceability chain.

In the current economic, budget tightening and competitive times, organizations need to be customer focused and provide customized service to customers to ensure their loyalty. To achieve this, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems help organizations to deal with and answer various customer queries. However with a change in the type of information being created (for example from structured to semi-structured), CRM systems have to make effective use of such information which may be in multiple information sources for effective knowledge management and knowledge synthesis in order to provide customized services to the customers. In this paper, we propose a Customer Relationship Management ecosystem that conjointly utilizes multiple information sources and information types to achieve this. We explain the architecture of the proposed CRM ecosystems framework and demonstrate its application in the real estate domain.

Researchers in digital humanities have for many years been producing online editions of texts based on TEI XML, a widely-adopted standard for marking up textual resources with semantic content. However, this has led to a certain isolation of information, the so-called `digital silo', and such modes of digital publication have not always made best use of the possibilities of digital technologies. The model is also challenged by the need to model texts that are by their very nature interconnected. The paper describes a collaborative environment of tools and techniques for working with texts that allows scholars to work with such highly-interconnected material.

The complexity of mobile device digital ecosystems is rapidly increasing. Not only the absolute number of mobile devices, but also their diversity is on an ongoing rise. Devices are equipped with multiple short-range communication technologies that are used by different applications, which can become entry points for security or privacy threats. These threats need to be addressed in an early stage, while the mobile ecosystem is still relatively small and flexible. In prior work we presented the advantages of simulation approaches in the field of security and privacy research within the mobile domain. In this paper, we extend the Mobile Security & Privacy Simulator, which allows us to model the ecosystem of mobile devices and its surrounding environment with more details to achieve more realistic results. For this purpose we build up additional sub-simulations for discrete real world sub-scenarios like indoor places and connect them with the main map-based simulation. By this coupling we are able to better fit a simulation to the real world using tailored models for agents as well as for their environment depending on each sub-scenario's characteristics.

Metaphors from biological ecosystems emerge in a wide range of leading computing areas and applications of digital ecosystems. The diversified use of these metaphors in different application domains of digital ecosystems varies between computing areas and shapes their interventions. This paper reviews these application interventions of various computing areas as a qualitative approach to outline a roadmap of digital ecosystems from a metaphor towards a mature scientific paradigm. This roadmap is illustrated through five propositions to current practice. The proposed roadmap envisions digital ecosystems as a collaborative coordination environment and platform for computing interventions.

The European PLAY project aims at defining a federated-open-trusted platform able to deal with events emitted by any device. That platform should be able to combine a publish/subscribe mechanism with complex event processing in order to use the huge amount of produced events as a shared knowledge. The PLAY platform may so be able to (i) inform users (or devices) with relevant events and (ii) suggest appropriate behaviors to users (or devices). In the context of “city logistics”, such platform could be useful to deal with vehicles' itinerary and priority management.

In the field of multi-application personalization, several techniques have been proposed to support user modeling. None of them have sufficiently investigated the opportunity for a multi-application profile to evolve over time in order to avoid data inconsistency and the subsequent loss of income for website users and companies. In this paper, we propose a model addressing this issue and we focus in particular on user profile data propagation management. Data propagation is a way to reduce the amount of inconsistent user profile information over several applications, even in the case of temporary coalitions of applications as happens in Digital Ecosystems. To evaluate our model, we first extract user profiles using logs of the large real-life AOL search engine. Then, we simulate data propagation along semantically related user information.

The Western Australian resources boom has created a demand for a large amount of domestic accommodations, known as mining camps. However, due to the absent infrastructure within the remote regions of Australia, the energy supply of these mining camps is expensive. In order to reduce the electricity consumption of the mining camps, the Smart Camp project was initiated. The system infrastructure consists of a home automation based controller, placed in each mining accommodation unit to reduce energy consumption, and a centralized management unit, coordinating the controllers. Due to the fact that the size and complexity of mining camps may grow over time, the provided infrastructure of the management unit has to be able to evolve. One possible solution is to design a system in the context of high availability and horizontal scalability. This paper proposes a horizontally scalable and high availability infrastructural concept, in the context of the Smart Camp project. This concept also utilizes cost effective open source solutions running on commodity hardware. Within the context of horizontal scalability and reliability, this paper provides an applied research outline of some of the real world considerations, such as open source based high availability, load balancing, and distributed database solutions.
