A sense of community: A research agenda for software ecosystems (2009, background): “Many of the research challenges have been inspired by the book of Messerschmitt and Szyperski on SECOs [6] and our own research [3, 1, 4].”
From software product lines to software ecosystems (2009, methodology): “An early publication is [6] although several aspects of discussion in this paper are not addressed there.”
Balancing platform control and external contribution in third‐party development: the boundary resources model (2013, background): “It is increasingly recognised that external application developers may play a signiﬁcant role in platform innovation (Messerschmitt & Szyperski, 2003; Evans et al ., 2006; Bosch, 2009; Boudreau, forthcoming) and serve as the basis for software leadership (Gawer & Cusumano, 2002).”
