Architecture for Digital Ecosystems: Beyond Service-Oriented Architecture

by Pierfranco Ferronato

The theory behind the business ecosystem is based on the dynamic interaction of organizations; over time, these groups co-evolve their capabilities and roles and tend to align themselves with the directions set by one or more companies that drive the evolution of the environment. This Executive Report by Pierfranco Ferronato illustrates the need to extend service-oriented architecture in order to face the challenges that are unique to digital ecosystems. The report also introduces the features of a new architectural style, which the author calls ecosystem-oriented architecture (EOA).
