Many enterprise systems are document intensive that requires extensive manual verification in the form of maker and checker. However, a maker-checker based verification raises several challenges with respect to increase in cost and time of verification. Furthermore, any manual labor intensive verification is not free from human oversight and can lead to costly errors. therefore, to alleviate the challenges arising out of human verification of document intensive systems, we propose a rule based framework that enables automatic verification of document based systems. the framework uses ontology based knowledge representation techniques along with appropriate natural language processing methods to extract operational rules from business documents and then use suitable reasoning engine for verification. the above framework is validated in the light of a real life case study namely international Trade that deals with several critical financial documents like Letter-of-Credit, Bill-of-Lading, Commercial Invoice etc.

Innovations are essential if companies are to maintain and increase their competitiveness. thus, companies face the question how rather than whether to generate innovations. One possible parameter to design an innovation-friendly environment is providing appropriate software such as enterprise social software (ESS). this motivated us to explore how the use of ESS may impact the innovation process. We present results deduced from an exploratory case study. Based on 26 interviews and theoretical considerations about the innovation process, our findings reveal that ESS has the potential to support the different stages of the innovation process. Furthermore, the results indicate that ESS usage creates impacts concerning (1) the information processing itself, (2) daily work outputs, and (3) measurable outcomes at the organizational level. Here, particularly the generic processes in the knowledge and implementation stages stand to benefit.

Cloud computing is becoming the predominant mechanism to seamlessly deploy applications with special requirements such as massive storage sharing or load balancing, usually provided as services by cloud platforms. A developer can improve the application's delivery and productivity by following a multi tenancy approach, where variants of the same application can be quickly customized to the necessities of each tenant. However, managing the inherent variability existing in multi-tenant applications and, even more importantly, managing the evolution of a multi-tenant application with hundreds of tenants and thousands of different valid architectural configurations can become intractable if performed manually. In this paper we propose a product line architecture approach in which: (1) we use cardinality-based variability models to model each tenant as a clonable feature, (2) we automate the process of evolving the multi- tenant application architecture, and (3) we demonstrate that the implemented process is correct and efficient for a high number of tenants in a reasonable time. We use a running case study in the domain of medical software.

enterprise architecture (EA) network analysis has been attracting researchers' attention lately. the main source of information is the structural components, including the relations among them and how they might be structurally arranged. these relations are studied to generate valuable information for EA professionals. However, to the best of our knowledge, ours is the first attempt to combine structural information with a second source of information: expert's tacit knowledge. We believe combining these sources employing two new methods - what we call cognitive-structural diagnosis analysis and attribute check analysis - can refine the expert's knowledge about the architecture. To demonstrate these methods' feasibility, we apply them with two application architecture datasets collected in two different organizations. We also offer a classification schema for enterprise architecture network analysis at the component level, our focus. Our conclusions indicate that the cognitive- structural diagnosis analysis method minimizes analysis subjectivity while validating important components and also suggesting important structural ones to be further analyzed by experts. the attribute check analysis offers further contributions by helping in the investigation of particular attributes of applications in important architectural positions.

Heterogeneous data and various system that manage data in organization can be one of the difficult factor to manage data and application. SOA proposed several years ago boast an open standard based on loosely coupled architecture for better integrating application in distributed and heterogeneous environment. ESB is introduced as infrastructure for SOA service connection and message exchange that can mediates different environment to be managed. Web service as a technology drive the application to use data by requesting via network. this condition is the background to do research on designing enterprise Service Bus Architecture to support multi-tenant client and provider. this research results the model of ESB and implement it design to be an application that can provide the organization to integrated heterogeneous data and various systems.

Due to the global digitalization, fast shifting business models and short technology lifecycles, modern enterprises need a strategy how to deal withthose unpredictable changes in order to stay competitive. the concept of capability driven management like capability-based-planning or -investment gets more and more attention by executives and scientists. In the last decade IS and management journals as well as conferences were publishing an increasing number of capability related articles, but a common understanding corresponding the identification of capabilities, their management, types or elements seems to be not existing. this work encapsulates the body of capability literature to provide an overview about capability research investigations over the last 15 years.

All enterprise Architecture Modeling (EAM) approaches revolve around the use of multiple, inter-related views to describe the properties of a system and its surrounding environment - that is, they are multi-view specification (MVS) approaches. However, there is still little consensus on how such modeling environments should be realized and on the pros and cons of the different fundamental design choices involved in building them. In this paper we identify the different design choices put forward in the literature, evaluate their mutual compatibility, and discuss the extent to which they scale up to large enterprise systems. Finally we present some additional choices and outline some of the key features that future multi-view modeling environments should ideally support.
