Information, knowledge and learning systems are developed with the implicit belief that their existence will lead to better performance for those using them, and that this will translate into better performance for the organisations for which the user works. One important activity that must occur prior to requirements analysis for such systems is organisational and human performance analysis. O...

show that enterprises can also be made up of parts of different companies and the structure of the enterprise is contingent upon a variety of different factors. The success of the enterprise as a collaborative venture depends on the ability of companies to intermediate their internal core competencies into other participating companies’ value streams and simultaneously outsource their own perip...

In recent years enterprise integration has become an important theme in information systems research and practice. Enterprise integration pervades enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain management (SCM), and customer resource management (CRM) systems and applications. However, much IS research in this area seems to assume that enterprise integration is inevitable and that enterprise i...

In this paper, we work towards an approach to establish a connection between the goal domain and the enterprise architecture elements that are responsible for the satisfaction of goals in an enterprise. We observe this connection is far from trivial, requiring us to consider the semantics of goals, the semantics of many other enterprise elements as well as the nature of the relation between goa...

Reacting on an unstable environment in an agile manner is a creative driven act. The creative needs may be motivated by the amount of possible solutions, from which one solution might be selected, that fits the respective enterprise perfectly. However , enterprise model might be defined as an instrument that offers the development of solutions under the consideration of various aspects of the e...

Most enterprise architectures published so far are capable of generating reasonably good descriptive models for individual enterprises to enable integration, organization and synchronization of enterprise elements: organizational structure, business processes, information systems and technology infrastructure, among others. However, research in this field applied to the extended enterprise or i...

Developing enterprise software system (ESS) is dramatically tampered by exponentially growing data burden, and by heterogeneous nature of the system components in terms of architecture and structure. An integral approach to the enterprise software system lifecycle, which combines rigorous formal models and the supporting CASE tools, helps to obtain design patterns for the component-level metada...

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are the core of many companies: they contain entities which are the focus of enterprise searches [5]. In this paper, a model which exploits those entities to improve the search experience of enterprise users is proposed. Specifically, a graph knowledge base called entity graph is defined. It is used both to offer a novel data exploration experience tha...

Abstract This study intends to propose a novel approach based on fuzzy synthetic evaluation in order to realize power enterprise supply chain performance evaluation. Through the characteristic analysis of power enterprise supply chain, a 2-dimensions mesh framework for power enterprise supply chain performance evaluation is put forward, and the indexes of power enterprise supply chain performan...
