Description and Objectives

In the world of the Internet of Things (IoT), the rapid growth and 
exponential use of digital components leads to the emergence of 
intelligent environments namely "digital ecosystems" connected to the 
web and 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. With the help of the computational 
intelligence, these digital ecosystems can exhibit new self-* properties 
(such as self-management, self-healing and self-configuration) 
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 web-based resources mainly 
comprehend big data management, innovative services, smart and self-* 
properties platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital 
ecosystems, 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, intelligent 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 big 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 Digital 
EcoSystems (MEDES),previously named "The International Conference on 
Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems", 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. 
MEDES 2018 calls for full papers presenting interesting recent results 
or novel ideas in all areas of Emergent Digital EcoSystems. At the same 
time, the conference calls for short papers presenting interesting and 
exciting recent results or novel thought-provoking ideas that are not 
quite ready, and preferably include a system demonstration.

Topics

MEDES seeks contributions in the following areas:

Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure
Data & Knowledge Management
Computational and Collective Intelligence
Semantic Computing
Software ecosystems for software engineering
Big Data
Services
Trust, Security & Privacy
Software Engineering
Internet of Things and Intelligent Web
Cyber Physical Systems
Social and Collaborative Platforms
Human-Computer Interaction
Open Source
Applications (Logistics, Energy, Healthcare, Environment, Smart Cities, 
Digital Humanities, Robotics, etc.)
Complex Systems and Networks


Paper Submission

Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be 
uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper 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. After the preliminary notification date, authors 
rebut by evidence and arguments all reviewer inquiries and their 
comments. Based on the rebuttal feedback, reviewers notify authors with 
the final decision. 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 and DBLP.
