题目1:A research agenda for self-organizing ecosystems: The case for Maritime Informatics


时间 :6月21日上午9:30-10:40,地点 313会议室


主讲:美国世界信息系统学会主席、院士Richard Watson 教授

摘要:Shipping, an important component in the operation of the world economy is a digital age laggard. Digitization can make it 


more efficient, sustainable, and safer. For IS researchers this domain is also relatively unexplored, and there are opportunities for


 IS scholars to provide theoretical advances in describing, modeling, and redesigning the maritime ecosystem. This article


 introduces a research agenda for maritime informatics. Building on complex adaptive systems (CAS) theory, capital creation, 


systems thinking, and episodic tight coupling, the maritime industry is conceived as a self-organizing ecosystem (SOE). 


In an SOE, autonomous organizations emerge to meet the various needs of a central, but not coordinating, entity. A systematic


 approach is applied to develop seven research questions about SOEs, based on three of their major characteristics identified


 by network analysis, namely (1) An SOE is an aggregation of agents whose diverse capabilities are identified by tags; (2) Actions


 by agents, both intentional and unintentional, change an ecosystem’s environment and can have non-linear effects on other agents,


 including the initiating agent; (3) As part of the capital creation process, agents episodically tightly couple to create physical and 


informational flows and capital. System dynamics and object orientation are applied to provide validity for, and to suggest methods


 for answering the research questions. These questions provide a grounding for maritime informatics research, as well as exploring 


SOEs generally.
