This paper proposes a highly automated SLM concept, wherein traditional direct control mechanisms are complemented by indirect mechanisms, including reputation systems, selected motivational measures and information-based guidance of each individual service-provider. The concept makes use of the ecosystems' inherent emergent and self-organizing processes and is grounded on system and control theory.deText/Conference Paper1617-5468
