Toward software engineering ecosystems definition

Nowadays, the fundamental science of software engineering is being formed. It should represent knowledge that meets requirements concept sustainable development. This could be named as Software Engineering Ecology. Along with others, it include a section containing about ecosystems. future has been intensively developing for more than fifteen years. However, today, there no consen- sus among researchers regarding definitions ecosystem. Naturally, does not contribute to creation an appropriate emerging science. All authors offer only ecosystem, considering in different contexts and defining ways. The term “software ecosystem” now used refer wide range ecosystems are actually purpose this paper propose basis By analogy concepts landscape trophic chain biological ecosystems, value proposed.
