Systems engineering technologies in digital ecosystem management

The modern trend in the development of methodological and scientific and practical foundations of system engineering is the use of system system theory (SoS) to manage digital ecosystems. The ideas of the theory of the system of systems make it possible to form components and relationships between them for ecosets of varying complexity. In addition, the ecosystem approach allows us to consider the architectural features of business models of economic objects and the IT architectural features of software systems as a mutually related set of components of the SoS metamodel. Ensuring interoperability and homeostasis of the system of systems are necessary properties of digital ecosystems. One of the tasks of managing the multicomponent multiserv environment of the IT architecture of the digital ecosystem is the task of building technology stacks and tools. The article presents systems engineering policies for designing the architecture of the digital ecosystem and its IT architecture from the point of view of organizing the system design life cycle

Keywords: system engineering, SoS systems theory, digital ecosystem, business models, Industry 5.0, IT architecture, microservice IT architectures
