Optimizing Service Ecosystems in the Cloud [PDF]
, 2013 A service ecosystem is a virtual space ideally distributed across networks and geographical areas where vast numbers of services and other digital entities can coexist and converge to form ad-hoc solutions. In this paper we present experimental results showing the performance of two optimization models in service ecosystem.
