An internationally distributed ubiquitous living lab innovation platform for digital ecosystem research

Published:26 October 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

There are an increasing number of information sources and services around us enabling new ways of interacting with our everyday environment. Examples include intelligent devices, sensors embedded in the environment and the emerging Internet-of-Things. Simultaneously users are becoming increasingly involved as information providers and consumers by means of Web 2.0 and social media. While these areas have gained a lot of attention recently and while the research on Digital Ecosystems has also dealt with these phenomena separately there seems to be need for research on the rich and complex ecosystem combining the sensor-based information sources with Web 2.0 and mobile services. In this paper, we propose a digital ecosystem architecture for ubiquitous campus Living Lab innovation platform which combines sensor based embedded system and social media based on the international collaboration between two long-term university Living Lab research projects in Finland and China. The paper focuses on the architecture design and implementation of the platform, and also discusses its implications to digital ecosystem research.
