Abstract

The increase in computing and storage performance achieved in a near past has brought attention of the researchers and practitioners back to different paradigms that could be effectively and efficiently used to solve many societal problems, such as Cloud architectures, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and Blockchain. This position paper discusses how all those new technologies, approaches and methodologies affect the landscape of Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). First, it identifies the properties of so-called Next-generation EIS (NG EIS). Then, it proposes the original approach to interoperability of systems, as inherent parent property of EIS. Finally, it presents the framework solution for the implementation problem. The proposed concepts are based on a wide discussion among members of IFAC TC5.3 (IFAC Technical Committee for Enterprise Integration and Networking) committee of the International Federation of Automatic Control.
