Platform ecosystems in practice
Platform business models and the associated partner ecosystems and business networks are currently occupying companies in numerous sectors. Important questions, such as how to operate a platform successfully and attract many users to the platform, remain unanswered in practice. Fortunately, there is now also highly relevant research in Germany that provides answers to these burning questions.
The European Workshop on Software Ecosystems will take place on April 23, 2020 in Heilbronn and will bring together practitioners and researchers to discuss, find ideas and stimulate solutions.
Typical topics of the workshop are the different business model variants, relationships between platform participants, the design of properties and conditions of partner ecosystems and the question of which software architectures and APIs are decisive for the success of a platform.
A prize will be awarded for the best presentation and discussion and the presentations will be published in a conference proceedings.
