A conceptual architecture for an ambient assisted living ecosystem is introduced with the objective of facilitating the development and provision of integrated care and assistance services for senior citizens. These services are the result of collaboration among various stakeholders. An example of service design in this context is also presented.

Demographic changes worldwide are generating aged populations that bring sustainability challenges to the healthcare and social care systems. Therefore solutions that provide elderly citizens the chance to remain at their homes surrounded by an environment that takes care of them are needed. To support such environment the development of an ecosystem of products and services for Ambient Assisted Living is being carried out within the context of the AAL4ALL project. The provision of care and assistance services requires collaboration of multiple stakeholders which implies, under a socio-technical perspective, mechanisms for organization, governance and collaboration support among them. In this context, this paper presents an approach for modeling the management of such ecosystem using the i* modeling framework.

The notion of service-enhanced product offers new perspectives for value creation and differentiation in manufacturing. In the case of complex and highly customized products, the inclusion of business services that add value to the product typically require the collaboration of multiple stakeholders. In order to facilitate the co-creation and delivery of composite services, a proper collaborative environment is needed. This paper introduces a cloud-based collaborative environment, designed to support a mix of collaborative enterprise networks involved in the solar energy sector.
