Model-Driven Engineering Ecosystems
2019 IEEE/ACM 7th International Workshop on Software Engineering for Systems-of-Systems (SESoS) and 13th Workshop on Distributed Software Development, Software Ecosystems and Systems-of-Systems (WDES), 2019Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) comprises the practice of systematically using models during software development. The high diversity of MDE assets (e.g., metamodels, models, model transformation engines, and design tools) has raised a rich, diverse, and complex software ecosystem (SECO), where a collection of assets is governed by underlying rules and ...

The Population Dynamics of Ecosystem Engineers
Oikos, 1996Although the literature contains many examples of habitat modification, there are few systematic studies of the role of such processes in the creation and maintenance of natural habitat, A key element in the development of such models is an understanding of the dynamics of the habitat modifying species, sometimes called ecosystem engineers.

Ecosystems of Software Engineering
Cybernetics and Systems Analysis, 2020A formal model of an ecosystem, focused on software engineering, is proposed. Two approaches to the analysis of properties of this model, which are called network and automata approaches, are described. In particular, methods for finding optimal plan of job execution in an ecosystem, identification of emergency situations, possibility of paralell ...

Are Primates Ecosystem Engineers?
International Journal of Primatology, 2012Animals can play important roles in structuring the plant communities in which they live. Some species are particularly influential in that they modify the physical environment by changing, maintaining, and/or creating new habitats; the term ecosystem engineer has been used to describe such species.

Ecosystem engineers are organisms that modify, maintain and/or create habitat. The term was originally proposed twenty years ago by Clive Jones, John Lawton, and Moshe Shachak in an effort to bridge the largely separate pursuits of population and ecosystem ecology.

A mathematical model of plants as ecosystem engineers
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2007Understanding the structure and dynamics of plant communities in water-limited systems often calls for the identification of ecosystem engineers--key species that modify the landscape, redistribute resources and facilitate the growth of other species.

Linking Species and Ecosystems: Organisms as Ecosystem Engineers
1995Ecosystem engineers are organisms that directly or indirectly modulate the availability of resources to other species, by causing physical state changes in biotic or abiotic materials. In so doing they modify, maintain, and create habitats. Autogenic engineers (e.g., corals, or trees) change the environment via their own physical structures (i.e ...

Ecosystem Engineers: Feedback and Population Dynamics
The American Naturalist, 2009All organisms alter their abiotic environment, but ecosystem engineers are species with abiotic effects that may have to be explicitly accounted for when making predictions about population and community dynamics. The goal of this analysis is to identify those conditions in which engineering leads to population dynamics that are qualitatively different
