The 13th International ACM Conference on Management of Digital
EcoSystems (MEDES'21)
In Cooperation with ACM, ACM SIGAPP and IFIP WG 2.6
http://medes.sigappfr.org/21/
November 1-3, 2021
Hammamet, Tunisia
Description and Objectives
------------------------------------
In the world of the Internet of Things (IoT), the rapid growth and
exponential use of digital components leads to the emergence of
intelligent environments namely "digital ecosystems" connected to
the Web and composed of multiple and independent entities such as
individuals, organisations, services, software, and applications
sharing one or several missions and focusing on the interactions
and inter-relationships among them. With the help of the
computational intelligence, these digital ecosystems can exhibit
new self-* properties (such as self-management, self-healing and
self-configuration),, thanks to the re-combination and evolution
of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each
entity are properly conserved, managed, and used. The underlying
Web-based resources mainly comprehend big data management,
innovative services, smart and self-* properties platforms. Due to
the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems, they are
highly complex to study, design, an
d develop. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how
managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be
innovative, intelligent, and value-creating. The application of
Information and Communication Technologies has the potential to
enable the understanding of how entities request resources and
ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting
business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be
improved through novel techniques, models, and methods for fields
such as big data management, Web technologies, networking,
security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence,
e-services and self-organising systems to support the
establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources.
The International Conference on Management of Digital EcoSystems
(MEDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community
from academia, research laboratories, and industries interested in
exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource
management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches,
techniques, and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this
end. MEDES 2021 calls for full papers presenting interesting
recent results or novel ideas in all areas of Emergent Digital
EcoSystems. At the same time, the conference calls for short
papers presenting interesting and exciting recent results or novel
thought-provoking ideas that are not quite ready, and preferably
include a system demonstration.

Keynote Speakers
-----------------------
Johann Gamper, University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy
Georgios N. Yannakakis, University of Malta, Malta
Paper Submission
-----------------------
Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should
be uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper
should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers that
fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions
will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers. After the
preliminary notification date, authors rebut by evidence and
arguments all reviewer inquiries and their comments. Based on the
rebuttal feedback, reviewers notify authors with the final
decision. Selection criteria will include relevance, significance,
impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of
presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take
strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics
related to Digital Ecosystems. At least one author should attend
the conference to present the paper. The conference Proceedings
will be published by ACM and indexed by the ACM Digital Library
and DBLP. Kindly submit your papers by clickinghttps
