Software ecosystems - A systematic literature review

A software ecosystem is the interaction of a set of actors on top of a common technological platform that results in a number of software solutions or services. Arguably, software ecosystems are gaining importance with the advent of, e.g., the Google Android, Apache, and Salesforce.com ecosystems. However, there exists no systematic overview of the research done on software ecosystems from a so...

Towards Standard-Based Healthcare Ecosystems of Systems

Towards identifying programming expertise with the use of physiological measures

In this position paper we propose means of measuring programming expertise on novice and expert programmers. Our approach is to measure the cognitive load of programmers while they assess Java/Python code in accordance with their experience in programming. Our hypothesis is that expert programmers encounter smaller pupillary dilation within programming problem solving tasks. We aim to evaluate ...

Reviewing the Health of Software Ecosystems - A Conceptual Framework Proposal

The health of a software ecosystem is an indication of how well the ecosystem is functioning. The measurement of health can point to issues that need to be addressed in the ecosystem and areas for the ecosystem to improve. However, the software ecosystem field lacks an applicable way to measure and evaluate health. In this work, we review the literature related to the concept of software ecosys...

Analysis and design of software ecosystem architectures - Towards the 4S telemedicine ecosystem

Context: Telemedicine, the provision of health care at a distance, is arguably an effective way of increasing access to, reducing cost of, and improving quality of care. However, the deployment of telemedicine is faced with standards that are hard to use, application-specific data models, and application stove-pipes that inhibit the adoption of telemedical solutions. To which extent can a softw...
