  This paper defines the specifications of a management language intended to
automate the control and administration of various service components connected
to a digital ecosystem. It is called EML short for Ecosystem Management
Language and it is based on proprietary syntax and notation and contains a set
of managerial commands issued by the system's administrator via a command
console. Additionally, EML is shipped with a collection of self-adaptation
procedures called SAP. Their purpose is to provide self-adaptation properties
to the ecosystem allowing it to self-optimize itself based on the state of its
execution environment. On top of that, there exists the EMU short for Ecosystem
Management Unit which interprets, validates, parses, and executes EML commands
and SAP procedures. Future research can improve upon EML so much so that it can
be extended to support a larger set of commands in addition to a larger set of
SAP procedures.
