  bibo_abstract:
  - Software companies nowadays create ecosystems of users and third-party providers
    around their platforms. They often provide online stores so that the third-party
    developments can be exposed to users directly. The resulting ecosystems differ
    significantly from each other in their architectural designs because their providers
    differ in terms of business goals and contexts. Until now, this architectural
    diversity and rationale behind it are not well-understood. Therefore, it is not
    clear which software features contribute to ecosystem’s success with respect to
    certain business goals and context. This hinders systematic creation of ecosystems
    in the future. Thus, decision-making becomes too risky; for future ecosystem providers,
    which may lead to creation of inefficient ecosystems that lack critical features,
    and for third-party providers to rely on ad-hoc choices while deciding on suitability
    of an ecosystem for their future career. In this paper, we introduce three design
    patterns for store- oriented software ecosystems by classifying the design decisions,
    business goals, and context of 111 store-oriented software ecosystems. Each design
    pattern provides an architectural solution to achieve a different business goal
    while supporting a different context. We discuss how the design patterns are applied
    together in order to achieve more business goals. Our work supports ecosystem
    and third-party providers by sharing practice-proven architectural solutions,
    helping them to take informed architectural decisions and reduce technical risks.@eng
