Resumo

Software Ecosystems (SECO) are a set of organizations and actors, as well as their relations that cover technical, social and business aspects of software development. As a research field, several studies and reviews were conducted towards a body of knowledge for the SECO field. In this paper, we preliminarily analyze these studies in order to provide an initial overview of the SECO literature. Our intention is to aid researchers to know some relevant opportunities to foster the field's evolution, such as collaborative governance.
