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...

One important module of Enterprise Information System (EIS) is the development and implementation of the security component of EIS. Furthermore, this EIS Security structure needs to be monitored through the corporate governance of the firm. Based on a literature review and our previous work, we identified four key pillars of a model for EIS Security. These pillars are Security Policy (e.g., set...
