Manufacturing Service Ecosystems - Towards a New Model to Support Service Innovation Based on Extended Products

The trend for servitization is increasingly affecting manufacturing enterprises. Products are bundled with associated services to so called “Extended Products” (EP). However, the share of services becomes more and more important. This requires on the one hand an evolution of the EP concept towards greater interoperability of the physical product and on the other hand additional competencies in ...

Towards a Modeling Framework for Service-Oriented Digital Ecosystems

Reference modeling for collaborative networks has been identified as a key topic in consolidating this new scientific discipline. Earlier contributions on this field have provided a solid initial framework and they are considered starting points for this work. Based on two well-known approaches, the CIMOSA and ARCON modeling frameworks, what this work proposes is a set of modeling constructs fo...

Open Ecosystems, Collaborative Networks and Service Entities Integrated Modeling Approach

This paper introduces an integrated modeling approach that has been used to design and implement the ColNet platform. ColNet is the result of creating an integrated system, supporting distributed business processes design and execution in a Collaborative Network (CN) belonging to an Open Ecosystem (VBE). The work has been carried out as a part of the FP7 REMPLANET European Project, which aims a...
