In this paper, which is exploratory in nature, we introduce how to use Dynamic Electronic Institutions to enable Digital Business Ecosystems. A Digital Business Ecosystem is an evolutionary self-organising system aimed at creating a digital software environment for small organisations. These new forms of networked business require a multi-disciplinary approach based on biology, computer science and social sciences mechanisms and models. Our proposal is to use a multi-agent approach in combination with some social sciences metaphors. More specifically, we propose to imagine the digital environment of business ecosystems as an open agent system, and to study the spontaneous composition and adaptation of the different services and software components, by using Dynamic Electronic Institutions, which we have recently presented in our latest works. In this paper we present a brief summary of our previous work on dynamic institutions, and our first ideas on how to enable Digital Business Ecosystems.
