More recent efforts to address development from a holistic, multidisciplinary perspective-while a major step in the right direction-have been hindered by a lack of appropriate tools and well-defined processes to enable disparate resources to work effectively together towards common goals. The proposed SEED Framework leverages and expands the mandate of Digital Agenda set forth by several nations, and the resulting technology development with additional design patterns for the purpose of building a collaborative SEED Digital Ecosystem. The framework aims to effectively support self-organizing, multidisciplinary collaborations and, most importantly, to translate concepts and ideas into actions for holistic and sustained social, economic and environmental development with a deep awareness of the local culture.","PeriodicalId":145109,"journal":{"name":"2013 7th IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies (DEST)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129346786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a need is also clear for emerging countries, wherein China has rapidly become a key development player whose technological solutions could have a pivotal impact on other infrastructure-hungry regions of the world (e.g. Sub-Saharan Africa). This paper provides an overview of the smart grid transmogrification, via the state-of-the-practice application of proactive and responsive nodes - synchrophasors - within the U.S. power grid and presents a comparison with the efforts of other actors, such as China and Sub-Saharan African. Specifically, the potential advantages of the application of synchrophasors, as well as the issues challenging their application, are taken into account. As happens in ecological systems, value is created “by making connections,” and synchrophasors do indeed enable “collective intelligence,” “promote collaboration,” and well contribute towards scalability and sustainability - the realm of Digital Ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":145109,"journal":{"name":"2013 7th IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies (DEST)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130227168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the recent past, explorers narrate petroleum system, as an ecosystem, in which elements and processes are constantly interacted and communicated each other. Exploration is one of the key super-type data dimensions of petroleum ecosystem, (including seismic dimension), exhibiting high degree of heterogeneity, sequence identity and structural similarity; this is especially the case for, elements and processes that are unique to petroleum systems of South East Asia. Existing approaches of petroleum data organizations have limitations in capturing and integrating petroleum systems data. An alternative method uses ontologies and does not rely on keywords or similarity metrics. The conceptual framework of petroleum ontology (PO) is to promote reuse of concepts and a set of algebraic operators for querying petroleum ontology instances. This ontology-based fine-grained multidimensional data structuring adapts to warehouse metadata modeling. The data integration process facilitates to metadata models, which are deduced for Indonesian sedimentary basins, and is useful for data mining and subsequent data interpretation including geological knowledge mapping.","PeriodicalId":145109,"journal":{"name":"2013 7th IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies (DEST)","volume":"18 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128930205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However any selfish node, if given the opportunity, would typically prefer - to spare its own resources - to avoid serving the other nodes. This creates a potential problem to any collaborative protocol. A possible approach towards this issue consists in performing audits on the actions of the individual nodes, and applying some form of sanction to those whose misbehaviour has been detected during an inspection. However typically, auditing is costly and due to limited resources it can be carried on only on a sampling basis. It is clear that the rate of inspection has to be adapted to the rate of misbehavior, so as to strike a balance, from the point of view of the inspector, between the audit costs and the avoided damage to the system. Since the misbehaviour rate of rational agents is not predefined or fixed, but in turn depends from inspection rate, the overall behavior of the system made by inspectors and inspectees fits into a typical interdependent interaction landscape and can be modeled using Game Theory. The above described audit situation corresponds to a class of games known as Inspection Games. In this paper, we model several versions of Inspection Games (IGs), up to the most general case involving m inspectors and n inspectees. We resolve each game by computing the strategy that rational players would follow. Moreover, we also extend the IG model by taking into account the possibility of undetected violations, i.e. false negatives in the inspections.","PeriodicalId":145109,"journal":{"name":"2013 7th IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies (DEST)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123799635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This system applies the landmark weights to nodes of a network graph in addition to replacing distance-to-turn type directions where appropriate. The proposed landmark-based routing system is flexible for a wide range of situations as users can customize the landmark selection and routing parameters to fit specific needs.","PeriodicalId":145109,"journal":{"name":"2013 7th IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies (DEST)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122802420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The signification or semiosis is the key psychological process that gives sense to e-co-innovation for making ICT usage-based research, rather than technology-based. The scene develops itself in partnership with end-users to exchange data, information and knowledge. In this sharing frame, the Living Labs (LL) concept allows to emphasize the importance on political and methodological principles to practice open innovation guided by usages. On more pragmatic, scientific and technical plans, we have set up a conceptual method for making products/services based on Sign management, and a tool called the Creativity or Co-design platform, used to build iteratively e-services with pilot users (lead-users).
