Welcome

Welcome to the website of OPAALS (Open Philosophies for Associative Autopoietic Digital Ecosystems), a multi-disciplinary network of research excellence for developing the science and technology behind Digital Ecosystems.

Digital Ecosystems represent the next generation of Internet usage. Applicable to many fields, they will perhaps have the greatest effect in enabling Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to compete on the global stage. Based on open and low-cost peer-to-peer architectures, Digital Ecosystems represent the future of technical, social, and economic aspects of the connected world.
