“…Emerging as a novel approach to the catalysis of sustainable regional development driven by SMEs [50]. Aiming to help local economic actors become active players in globalisation [51], valorising their local culture and vocations, and enabling them to interact and create value networks at the global level [52]. Increasingly this approach, dubbed glocalisation, is being considered a successful strategy of globalisation that preserves regional growth and identity [53], [54], [55], and has been embraced by the mayors and decision-makers of thousands of municipalities [56].…”

Abstract-. Cloud Computing is rising fast, with its data centres growing at an unprecedented rate. However, this has come with concerns over privacy, efficiency at the expense of resilience, and environmental sustainability, because of the dependence on Cloud vendors such as Google, Amazon and Microsoft. Our response is an alternative model for the Cloud conceptualisation, providing a paradigm for Clouds in the community, utilising networked personal computers for liberation from the centralised vendor model. Community Cloud Computing (C3) offers an alternative architecture, created by combing the Cloud with paradigms from Grid Computing, principles from Digital Ecosystems, and sustainability from Green Computing, while remaining true to the original vision of the Internet. It is more technically challenging than Cloud Computing, having to deal with distributed computing issues, including heterogeneous nodes, varying quality of service, and additional security constraints. However, these are not insurmountable challenges, and with the need to retain control over our digital lives and the potential environmental consequences, it is a challenge we must pursue.

“…As an end consumer looking at the cloud space, there are two major types of clouds to choose from: open source clouds (e.g., Citrix, OpenIoT) and closed clouds [24,6]. This implies creating cloud manufacturing ecosystem(s) built on open IoT messaging standards having the capabilities to achieve "Systems-of-Systems" integration, as will be discussed in the next section.…”

Over the past decade, a flourishing number of concepts and architectural shifts appeared such as the Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, Big Data, 3D printing, etc. Such concepts are reshaping traditional manufacturing models, which become increasingly network-, service-and intelligent manufacturing-oriented. It sometimes becomes difficult to have a clear vision of how all those concepts are interwoven and what benefits they bring to the global picture (either from a service or business perspective). This paper traces the evolution of the manufacturing paradigms, highlighting the recent shift towards Cloud Manufacturing (CMfg), along with a taxonomy of the technological concepts and technologies underlying CMfg.

“…As discussed in [7] a major barrier to the expansion of use of B2B amongst SMEs is that the current standards for web service coordination require a central coordinator. Even where there is a natural hub for the business activities, this can provide a threat to the local autonomy of the participating SMEs -the web service coordinator will have access to business state, business logic and data about traffic that can help in enforcing a level of governance on the participating SMEs, and also inform acquisition policies of the coordinator.…”

Abstract-In this paper we explore the concept of "ecosystem" as a metaphor in the development of the digital economy. We argue that the modelling of social ecosystems as selforganising systems is also relevant to the study of digital ecosystems. Specifically, that centralised control structures in digital ecosystems militate against emergence of innovation and adaptive response to pressures or shocks that may impact the ecosystem. We hope the paper will stimulate a more holistic approach to gaining empirical and theoretical understanding of digital ecosystems.
