Abstract

Ultra-Large-Scale Systems are considered to be the new system generation. For these systems current development approaches are not well suited, since they do not scale well for large systems. One view onto such systems is to see them as IT Ecosystems comparable to complex ecosystems from nature and biology. We will present an example for such a system, the smart city. Furthermore, we will present challenges that arise from engineering and operating IT Ecosystems.
