Abstract

In a world where the technological progress has surpassed even the most imaginary predictions and the financial crisis presents unprecedented challenges for enterprises, Future Internet Enterprise Systems (FInES) can be an important enabler for boosting enterprise competitiveness, innovation and sustainability. This paper aims at investigating the landscape of projects in the domain of FInES in order to gain insight in the commonalities of their research directions. By synthesizing a classification basis along the FInES and the EISB (Enterprise Interoperability Science Base) dimensions, all completed and running projects have found their positioning in the classification scheme that has been also visualized in an interactive map. The features of a typical FInES project have been highlighted, leading to conclusions that highlight the need for constantly updating the projects’ mapping to depict their advancements and for closer engagement and validation of results by the projects’ members.
