Description and Objectives
---------------------------
In the world of the Internet, the rapid growth and exponential use of
digital medias leads to the emergence of virtual environments namely
digital ecosystems composed of multiple and independent entities such as
individuals, organizations, services, software and applications sharing
one or several missions and focusing on the interactions and
inter-relationships among them. The digital ecosystem exhibits
self-organizing environments, thanks to the
re-combination and evolution of its ?digital components?, in which
resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and
used. The underlying resources mainly comprehend data management,
innovative services, computational intelligence and self-organizing
platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems
and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and design.
This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources
will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative and value-creating. The
application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the
understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact
to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and
knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques,
models and methodologies for fields such as data management, web
technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions,
artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to
support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources.
The International Conference on Management of Emergent Digital
EcoSystems (EDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community
from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in
exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource
management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and
technologies can be
evolved and adapted to this end. The conference seeks related original
research papers, industrial papers and proposals for demonstrations, and
tutorials and workshops.

Paper Submission
----------------
Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be
uploaded using the conference website.
Submissions should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers
that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will
be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers. Selection criteria will
include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical
soundness, and quality of presentation.
Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging
positions on important emergent topics related to Digital Ecosystems. At
least one author should attend the conference to present the paper.
The conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and indexed by the
ACM Digital Library.
