New strategic framework:i2010 initiative
• Comprehensive and holistic approach:• Umbrella initiative for EU Information Society and Media
policies (regulation, research and deployment)
• Three priorities:• Completing the Single European Information Space• Strengthening innovation and investment in research• Achieving an Inclusive European Information society

Putting the knowledge triangle at work
“Triangle of knowledge”
research:
education innovation
Europe needs to investmore and better
Europe must perform better • in producing knowledge through research• in applying it through innovation• in diffusing it through education

CIP Competitiveness and Innovation framework Programme
•New programme to boost growth and jobs in Europe•By providing horizontal measures supporting competitiveness and innovation
• Entrepreneurship (SMEs) & innovation•By addressing three main “technological” domains underpinning the whole economy
• Eco-innovation (environment)• ICT Policy Support• Intelligent Energy (energy efficiency & renewable energy)
•ICT Policy Support :• Stimulates innovation through wider adoption and better use of ICT

ICT in FP7: Objectives,Main Themes
• ICT Technology Pillars• Software, Grids, security and dependability
• Integration of Technologies• Applications Research
• providing the knowledge and the means to develop a wide range of ICT-based services and applications • ICT supporting businesses and industry (business
processes; collaborative work; manufacturing) • Future and Emerging Technologies
“To enable Europe to master and shape the future developments of ICT so that the demands
of its society and economy are met”

Peculiaritiesof EU economical structure
• Cultural diversity (model of business, approaches, practices, …)
• Dimensions of enterprises (SMEs vs. LE)• Historical presence of clusters with diffused
tacit unstructured knowledge, skills and infrastructure
Turn peculiarities and diversity into into competitive advantages
How ICT could support? Which ICT ?

Knowledge-base economy: migrating towards service economies mediated by ICT
More interrelations More specialised resourcesMore R&D / innovation
Small companies have limited specialised resources Access to global value chains Access to knowledgeAccess to specific services (e.g. legal)

Which ICT technology for business ecosystems ?•Scenario:
“… the actual slowly changing network of organizations will be replaced by more fluid, amorphous and often transitory structures based in alliances, partnership and collaborations”...
“…building a community that share business, knowledge and infrastructure”(1)
“To support this scenario of aggregation of services and organizations, is required a further stage in ITC technology adoptions and an infrastructure which exploits the dynamic interaction (cooperation and competition) of several players in order to produce systemic results; innovation and economic development.”

How deal with complexity: ecosystem metaphors
•Economy and Society as EcosystemsRothschild,’90: Organisms & organisations are “nodes in networks of relationships”. Mitleton-Kelly, 2003: Orgs are co-evolving within a social ecosystem
•Business EcosystemsJ.F. Moore, 1993 & 1996
Customers, lead producers, competitors, other stakeholders.Interaction (within a business ecosystem); decentralised decision-making and self-organisation.
M. Iansiti and R. Levien, 2004A large number of loosely interconnected participants who depend on each other for their mutual effectiveness and survival“The keystone species” determine the co-evolutionary processes.
•Digital EcosystemsEuropean Commission 2002
Ecosystem paradigm applied to digital worldSAP, HP, …
•Natural EcosystemsDynamic, constantly remaking themselves, adapting to the environment,

How to deal with the complexity?
• No easy answer, no short-term solution• long-term process, but intermediate results
Paradigm shift :machine model => living organism model building a machine => nurturing players and conditions
Local actors
Small organisations
R.O. Univ.
P.A. Gov.
Cooperative effort : among local actors (gov, biz, uni-res) among EU regions
How to foster this change of paradigm ?

Lessons from the living worldIs built on composition and complex hierarchies
No central control, no plans defined in advance
Fault tolerant:No central point of failure, just viability concept
Diversity and autonomy (recursive)
Adaptationto the local conditions
Selection and evolution
But you need an infrastructure supporting the life (composed of living organisms too - rec. concept), and a critical mass of individuals and biodiversity (bootstrap problem)
But This infrastructure determines/shapes the potential evolutionary paths (regulation)

Dynamic composability for evolution
A digital component is made by components (“lego” approach) which:are distributedshould change for allowing evolution all elements could switch and change (sw, modality of usage, protocols)Reusability of existing initiatives (web services, GRID services, semantic web) protocols=> adaptation to local conditions

Peculiar approach promoted by DG INFSO/D5Focus on regional development and local identitiesFosters enterprise dynamic cooperation and knowledge sharingDevelops enabling technologies + support deployment of interconnected network of digital ecosystemsSupport network for SMEs (knowledge, practices, services), provides equal opportunities of access (mitigates digital divides)Pervasive common infrastructure (which also evolves), open source and community principles No central control, no point of failure, no dominant position, no pre-defined business modelVariety of digital ecosystems, self-adapting to local conditionsThe “digital environment” is populated by “digital species” with their business model and descriptionThe environment enables species to behave like species in the natural world
InteractsExpresses an independent behaviourEvolves – or become extinct – following adaptation
Digital Ecosystem Vision: a new “digital common”

What is a Digital Ecosystem ? •THE DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM •is a pervasive “digital environment” •that supports the business ecosystems•that is populated by “digital components” •that evolves and adapts to local conditions with the evolution of the components

What is a Digital Component ?•DIGITAL COMPONENTS •could be: software components, applications, services, knowledge, business processes and models, training modules, contractual frameworks, laws ...•.... and hopefully a mixture of all these
