  Currently, organizations are transforming their business processes into
e-services and service-oriented architectures to improve coordination across
sales, marketing, and partner channels, to build flexible and scalable systems,
and to reduce integration-related maintenance and development costs. However,
this new paradigm is still fragile and lacks many features crucial for building
sustainable and progressive computing infrastructures able to rapidly respond
and adapt to the always-changing market and environmental business. This paper
proposes a novel framework for building sustainable Ecosystem- Oriented
Architectures (EOA) using e-service models. The backbone of this framework is
an ecosystem layer comprising several computing units whose aim is to deliver
universal interoperability, transparent communication, automated management,
self-integration, self-adaptation, and security to all the interconnected
services, components, and devices in the ecosystem. Overall, the proposed model
seeks to deliver a comprehensive and a generic sustainable business IT model
for developing agile e-enterprises that are constantly up to new business
constraints, trends, and requirements. Future research can improve upon the
proposed model so much so that it supports computational intelligence to help
in decision making and problem solving.
