The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital  
EcoSystems (MEDES 2010)
                              with the cooperation of ACM SIGAPP and  
IFIP WG 2.6
                                 http://sigappfr.acm.org/medes/10
                                     October 26-29, 2010
                                       Bangkok-Thailand

Description and Objectives
---------------------------

In the world of the Internet, the rapid growth and exponential use of  
digital medias leads to the emergence of
virtual environments namely digital ecosystems composed of multiple  
and independent entities such as individuals,
organizations, services, software and applications sharing one or  
several missions and focusing on the interactions
and inter-relationships among them. The digital ecosystem exhibits  
self-organizing environments, 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 resources mainly  
comprehend data management, innovative services,
computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the  
multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems
and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and  
design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to
how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be  
innovative and value-creating. The application of Information
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 methodologies for fields such as data  
management, web technologies, networking, security,
human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and  
self-organizing systems to support the establishment
of digital ecosystems and manage their resources.

The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital  
EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to develop and bring together
a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry  
interested in exploring the manifold challenges
and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and  
how current approaches and technologies can be
evolved and adapted to this end. MEDES'10 conference will be held in  
Bangkok-Thailand  from October 26th till
October 29th, 2010 by the National Electronics and Computer Technology  
Center Thailand (NECTEC) and Kasetsart University.

The conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and indexed by the  
ACM Digital Library.
