MEDES '21: Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Management of Digital EcoSystems
During the past years, the International Conference on ManagEment of Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) has become one of the most important international scientific events bringing together researchers, developers, and practitioners to discuss latest research issues and experiences in developing advanced solutions that will help to design, deploy, exploit and tune emerging ecosystems. This year, the 13th International Conference on Management of Digital EcoSystems (MEDES'21) was supposed to happen in Hammamet, Tunisia but was finally held during November 1st to 3rd in virtual mode due to COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the lack of in-person interactions and socialization, MEDE’21 acted as a hosting platform for a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to web technologies and resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end.
This year, we selected 15 full papers, 4 short papers, 1 student paper, and 6 workshop papers. Each paper was reviewed by at least 3 reviewers. The accepted papers cover a number of broad research areas on both theoretical and practical aspects of Emerging Digital Eco following sessions: Trust, security, and real learning; Big data processing, text analysis, and ontologies; and IoT and smart technologies. In conjunction with these sessions, a workshop on Social and Big Data in 5G/AI Era was held too.
