The constantly increasing dynamics of the world economy and the shift of business values in accordance with the new values of the current society has lead to the development of new Internet oriented Enterprise Systems. This paper is concerned with the transformation of such systems in regard to the new paradigms of Future Internet and Cyber -Physical Systems. A Distributed Semantic Middleware is proposed as an Enabler for the development of Cyber Enterprise Systems.
Large scale, complex, networked enterprises, as may be considered (trans)national energy systems, multi-national manufacturing enterprises, smart cities a.s.o. are structures that can be characterized as systems of systems (SoS) and, as such, require specific modelling paradigms and control architectures to ensure their successful running. Their main characteristic is the necessity of solving practically one-of-a-kind problems with respect to the external context and internal configuration, thus dealing with dynamically evolving flows of data and information. The paper introduces the concept of intelligent cyber-enterprise, as an integrating paradigm that uses information and knowledge dynamics, in order to model and control SoS, especially focusing on the importance of appropriately adapt external and internal perception of an enterprise through a new generation of sensorial systems—the perceptive interfaces. The authors analyze sensing and perception in relation to intelligent cyber enterprise model and propose an implementation for a perceptive system interface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
