Abstract
This paper describes how the concepts described at OOPSLA ’97 (Business Object Management Architecture) have been extended and refined using ideas drawn from complex adaptive systems. The paper proposes that traditional hierarchical enterprises that rely on command and control based on central authority will be replaced by networks of organizations that coordinate their work through contracts. Software components to support such organizations are illustrated using UML.
