This article analyzes the complexity and dynamic of each kind of commerce network architecture from the system engineering. The thesis uses the complex self-adaptive system to describe the process of enterprise commerce network evolutionary. Bases on the drawing mechanism from enterprise commerce network transaction flow to the IT/EIS (information technology/enterprise information system) funct...

Business needs have driven the design, development, and use of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Intra-enterprise integration was a driving force in the design, development, and use of early ERP systems, but increased globalization, intense competition, and technological change have shifted to focus to inter-enterprise integration. Current and evolving ERP systems thus reflect the exp...

In this paper we describe how a market-leading ERP system can be used to demonstrate theoretical knowledge of Enterprise Systems. Students of business administration with a focus on information systems are taught theoretical backgrounds about modeling, technical architectures, development, and conceptions of Enterprise Systems. They know about business processes like production planning or mate...

In the vision of an Internet of Services (Janiesch et al. 2008, S. 71-75), services will become tradable similar to manufactured goods. Organizations dynamically interact as service consumers and service providers making use of a service marketplace to design, offer and consume services. With the emergence of such service ecosystems (Barros and Dumas 2006, S. 31-37), the simplified consumption ...

Business-to-Business integration (B2Bi) is considered to be not merely an IT-issue, but also a business problem. This paper draws attention to the two communication gaps companies within an Extended Enterprise are confronted with when integrating their systems. To overcome these communication problems we propose the use of Enterprise Architecture descriptions. Therefore we give a bird’s-eye vie...

Integrating complex enterprise systems is challenging and reliability and performance of the integrated systems can be problematic when using typical solutions of distributed transactions or on-demand message-based querying. We describe a data-oriented approach for enterprise system integration that uses information brokering. A broker application isolates the interactions between a local enter...

In cross-enterprise collaborative environment, we have dealt with challenges in business process integration for common business goals. Research directions in this domain range from business to business integration (B2Bi) to service-oriented augmentation. Ontologies are used in Business Process Management (BPM) to reduce the gap between the business world and information technology (IT), especi...

Increased processing power and connectivity enable an integration of mobile devices into enterprise applications. The de facto standard for an enterprise integration is Web Service technology. Notifying devices of business events requires establishing an inbound connection to the devices. While establishing connections from mobile devices to enterprise systems is straight forward, the inverse w...

The health of the public depends on a healthy clinical research enterprise, and a healthy clinical research enterprise cannot develop if it is disconnected from the clinical care enterprise. The integration of a robust clinical research enterprise into the U.S. health care system is now, more than ever, a national priority, and a completely new approach is desperately needed.
