The journal of Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) was founded in 2007 by Taylor & Francis, selected by the Web of Science Citation Index Expanded in 2008, and included in EI. The research collects 219 papers published in the EIS from 2007 to 2015, and explores valuable information such as the present situation and hotspot trends in the research of the enterprise information systems by extract...

From a design science research perspective, enterprise information systems (EIS) are understood as artifacts intended to support organizations in achieving certain goals. Proper EIS design needs not only to be based on solid general foundations (‘kernel theories’) and valid construction processes, but also should incorporate domain related experience and expertise. One important aspect is to un...

The Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) was established in 1951 at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, Georgia, as a combined training and service program in the practice of applied epidemiology. Since then, nearly 2,500 professionals have served in this 2-year program of the US Public Health Service. The experience of an EIS Officer has been modified because of the i...

This article aims to provide a baseline for future studies on the provision and support for the use of digital or electronic information services (EIS) in further education. The analysis presented is based on a multi-level model of access, which encompasses access to and availability of information and communication technology (ICT) resources, access to and availability of EIS resources, and th...

This paper proposes a process for implementing a meta-data approach to defining a platform independent operational computer system application. It identifies Enterprise Information System (EIS) type systems as ideal candidates for implementation using this meta-data, based on the simplification opportunities available due to the typically visual and transactional component bias of EIS systems. ...

Epistemic indefinites (henceforth EIs) are existentials that when used in a positive context convey information about the speaker’s epistemic state (e.g. Jayez and Tovena, 2006, Alonso-Ovalle and Menéndez-Benito, 2010): they signal that the speaker is unable to identify the individual that satisfies the existential claim. In some languages EIs can also be used in negative contexts to convey nar...
