The Indispensable Role of Software Ecosystem Services. 2023.
Abstract
Software ecosystems are sets of actors that collaboratively serve a market for software and services. There are services that, while not providing direct value for customers, are essential for enabling flows of software and value within the ecosystem, such as payment providers, software repositories, and application stores. Currently, there is insufficient understanding of this concept in literature, which hampers insight into these essential software ecosystem services. In this work, using a systematic literature study, we clarify the concept and identify the characteristics of software ecosystem services. With the results of this work, we can further the field of software ecosystems with a definition of such an essential building block.
