Understanding Software‐centered Evolutive Ecosystems through Activity Theory

This paper proposes an interdisciplinary approach aimed to bring into practice some novel Software Engineering theoretical paradigms. The premise of these news paradigms is based on the idea “ecologies” as realities that take place in environment a product. These are understood tight but flexible interactions between human, social, and technical components involved, where just another component. However, discussed do not offer viable way make sense ecologies design development. Thus, more operationalized approach, this framework Networks Activities, concept derived from Activity Theory, resource help design, development, evolution new emergent complex socio-technical ecologies. has been conceived tool for capture, and, especially, analyze concepts notations used by proposed illustrated through proof shows essential ideas their use real scenarios. In way, contribute improvement related fields like Requirements Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, or Architecture, among others.
