Multi-Perspective Decision Management for Digitization Architecture and Governance

Abstract

The Internet of Things, Enterprise Social Networks, Adaptive Case Management, Mobility S ystems, Analytics for Big Data, and Cloudenvironments are emerging to support smart connected i.e. digital products and services and the digital transformation. Biological metaphors of living and adaptable ecosystems provide the logical foundation for self- optimizing and resilient run-time environments for intelligent business services and related distributed information systems with service-oriented digitization architectures. We are investigatingmechanismsforflexibleadaptationandevolution of information systems with digital architecture in the context of the ongoing digital transformation. Our aim is to support flexibility and agile transformation for both business and related information systems through adaptation and dynamical evolution of their digital architectures. The present research paper investigates mechanisms of decision analytics for digitization architectures, putting a spotlight to Internet of Things architectures, by extending original enterprise architecture reference models with digitization architectures andtheirmulti- perspective architectural decision management.
