چکیده
IT ecosystems systems composed of a large number of distributed, autonomous, cooperating, decentralized, interacting, organically grown, heterogeneous, and continually evolving subsystems are the future system generation. Today’s state of the art does not enable us to develop these systems. Within the NTH Focused Research School for IT Ecosystems, research project AIM deals with methods and tools to guarantee the functionality of a complex IT ecosystem especially when a top-down design is not possible anymore. Thus, adaptive informationand collaboration architectures considering independent evolution of subsystems as well as suitable control mechanisms are examined. This technical report analyzes how adaptive behavior of subsystems can be modeled adequately by standard formalisms for behavioral modeling (e.g. UML) as well as advanced approaches for modeling adaptive behavior (e.g. PobSAM). We apply the selected modeling languages on a fictional case study, an airport departure scenario. The smart airport itself can be seen as an IT ecosystem due to the complexity of the interacting systems.

A Conceptual Model on Relationship between Structure and Functions in Rangeland Ecosystems
One of the most important issues in structure-function relationship modeling is that each rangeland has numerous functions and each of them can provide the most benefits in a certain state of that ecosystem. In fact, relationship between structure and function can be varied in different states. After presentation of the Linear Structure-Function Model based on the Clementsian succession theory,...
متن کاملModeling Virtual Ecosystems with the Proactive Guidance of Agents
In mainstream geometric modeling, cultivating virtual plant ecosystems is a difficult task. Algorithms for realistic scene generation are rooted in procedural models with no explicit or poor external control. We propose that virtual ecosystems modeling may be boosted using software agents as behavioral tools. An ecosystem grows and is driven by its internal rules of development. If it is left t...
متن کاملHabitat suitability modeling of water birds and waders in Hamun wetland by by Maximum Entropy model
Climate change and human activities have increased negative pressure on natural ecosystems. Wetlands are such ecosystems that widely affected by these negative changes. Birds as a part of wildlife in a wetland have damaged by destruction of wetlands, so, a large group of them, are at risk of extinction. Habitat destruction in wetlands in arid and semi-arid areas has more negative effects on the...
متن کاملPerspectives of Big Data Quality in Smart Service Ecosystems (Quality of Design and Quality of Conformance)
Despite the increasing importance of data and information quality, current research related to Big Data quality is still limited. It is particularly unknown how to apply previous data quality models to Big Data. In this paper we review Big Data quality research from several perspectives and apply a known quality model with its elements of conformance to specification and design in the context o...
متن کاملTowards a Visual Language Approach for Modeling Business Ecosystems
Enterprises develop, produce, and distribute their products and services nowadays in complex and increasingly digital business ecosystems consisting of business partners, suppliers, competitors, start-ups, public institutions, and costumers. These business ecosystems exhibit a high dynamic: new actors enter and leave the ecosystem continuously. Thus, for enterprise business and IT strategy the ...
