Abstract

Software Ecosystems (SECOs) have emerged as an approach to improve Software Engineering (SE) in industry considering relations among companies and stakeholders. Companies have opened up their platforms and artifacts to others, including partners and third-part developers. Thus, systems architecture, businesses and social networks should be understood in an integrated way. This concern motivated an initial proposal of a framework for SECOs engineering in order to outline a set of steps that combines three different dimensions of SECOs and joins different perspectives in SECOs research literature through a survey. In this paper, the focus is on the second dimension, business. A preliminary analysis carried out on a Software Reuse Lab's SECO at COPPE/UFRJ points out that concepts explored by researchers can be merged in a broader SE approach.
