Abstract
Digital Ecosystems consist of a variety of interlinked subsystems. This paper presents a flexible approach to define the links between such subsystems. The idea is to exploit the paradigm of Model Centered Architecture (MCA) and to specify all links/interfaces by means of appropriate Domain Specific Modeling Languages. The approach has been successfully applied and evaluated in several projects. As a proof of concept, we present the model-based interfacing between assistive systems and human activity recognition systems, which showed good performance as needed in real-world applications.
