“…Currently there are several emerging service ecosystems in the domains of business and technology. Software ecosystems (Bosch & Bosch-Sijtsema, 2010) are utilized by enterprises for producing software applications more efficiently for heterogeneous clientele with varying requirements. Software ecosystems can be characterized as product centric service ecosystems.…”

“…A software ecosystem is typically based on a software platform provided by an organization. The platform is then used by internal and external developers for implementation of applications (Bosch & Bosch-Sijtsema, 2010). Software ecosystem strategy is utilized by companies such as Amazon i or Nokia ii for establishing communities of developers and clientele over their own corresponding platforms.…”

The recent increased use of Internet, social media, and networked business mark a development trend where software-based services flow to the open market for enabling service-oriented networked business. Our vision is that in future, organizations and individuals collaborate within open service ecosystems. An open service ecosystem is characterized especially by the autonomy of its entities, its evolution with respect to available services and collaboration types, and dynamic establishment of collaborations. For facilitating collaboration establishment in open service ecosystems features of services and cooperation facilities, and feature inter-dependencies need to be governed rigorously. Towards this purpose we have established a framework for unambiguous description of service ecosystem features. The framework comprises a conceptual model which provides especially a categorization of features, and a formalization of the conceptual model as a meta-model for service ecosystems. We show that the corresponding feature categories have their specific roles and semantics as part of different ecosystem elements and in different phases of service ecosystem processes.

“…Although a software product's functionality and quality are important for the success of the product, the collaboration between software product management and the development team is crucial for product success [8]; however, the collaboration requires a handle of communication and coordination challenges [9]. However, large-scale software development can be complicated, expensive and unpredictable [3]. For software companies to succeed in the global markets of software-intensive products, shortened cycle time of product development and improved product quality are essential.…”

“…However, SPL and GSE are further accelerating the complexity of software product development [3]. Furthermore, when a product line is adapted to GSE, processes, tools, and organizational structure changes [2], and has significantly more difficulties to implement the necessary coordination [3].…”

Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is increasingly being the choice to strengthen health information systems (HIS) in Low and Middle Income Country (LMIC) contexts. FOSS is becoming a commercially viable option in today's software industry. In LMIC context, bridging the gap between generic open source design and specific local contexts calls for the participation of multi-sector stakeholders to realise FOSS implementations. This multi-sector stakeholder network, together with the FOSS platform can be theorised to form a software ecosystem (SE) around FOSS implementations in a resource constrained setting.In this new paradigm, governing the open source acquisition and implementation process becomes a central challenge, which is distinct from the governance of open source developer communities. This paper attempts to identify the essential stakeholder categories involved in FOSS HIS implementations in a LMIC context and; to understand the stakeholder interactions in this SE at different stages. The analysis is based on a longitudinal case study of two open source HIS implementations and an attempt to establish a FOSS governance body in the State health sector of Sri Lanka during the period 2011-2014. The paper contributes by suggesting a model to understand the essential stakeholder categories and their interactions in FOSS implementation SE in resource constrained settings.
