“…Freeman [20] claims that institutional and technological change follows the Lamarckian rules of the acquired characteristics and inheritance. In line with these Lamarckian principles, Torress-Carbonell and Parets-Lorca [56] develop a model that explains the evolution of software systems. They argued that heredity mechanisms are the means to produce new software systems that inherit the characteristics acquired as a result of adaptation performed by the old ones.…”

Due to globalization, the emergence and evolution of Interorganizational Information Systems (IOIS) has increasingly gained interest among researchers and practitioners. Yet, the extant literature in organizational theory and IS does not provide much insight on why a particular IOIS project has been selected for implementation over the others or why some variations of a particular IOIS have been adopted whereas others were not. Taking into account the complex interaction between IOIS and the various social institutions and communities of practice that are involved in IOIS development, use, and regulation, we propose a theoretical approach and a set of propositions to help understand the emergence and evolution of IOIS. We conceptualize IOIS as a ComplexAdaptive System (CAS) residing in an organizational field and ideas and concepts that lead to the creation of an IOIS and its components as memes. Our IOIS theory of emergence and evolution is inspired by two complementary evolutionary perspectives from Charles Darwin and Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck.

“…We have proposed [3] [5] that the evolution of a software system can follows an anticipatory model and the system behaves like an Incursive Discrete Weak Anticipatory System when the software system uses a model of other system or subsystem to make the decision about is following state in the evolutionary process. So, we have the following: ) ; , , , (...,…”

Services provided by organizations and public administration to end users, are based, in most of the cases, in accurate user identification. This identification can be done, among other possibilities, through the use of digital certificates. Certification Authorities (CA) are the organizations that provide information about the certificates' state to the Validation Authorities that are the organizations responsible for the validation of the information about user's certificate. Because the validation of a digital certificate will be a key element in users identification, it is cautious to use several Validation Authorities (VA), choosing one of them in each case a validation is needed. In this paper we approach the mechanism of service provider selection under the point of view of Anticipation and Incursion. In this case we consider the selection of the Validation Authority that provides the validation service as a selection process in which the system makes decisions according to the current state, the previous states, a set of specific parameters and the future state, that is to say, it is an Incursive System. Furthermore, as long as there are several Validation Authorities, we can consider that we are dealing with a hyperincursive system with several possible states to be reached.

Software Systems are complex entities composed by elements or components, subsystems, interrelated that could be considered themselves as systems. The evolution and functioning of the system as a whole is to be thought out as an anticipatory process. Additionally, the subsystems are also to follow functional and evolutionary processes that could be themselves anticipatory processes in which the selection of functional and evolutionary actions by subsystems is done among the whole set of possible actions. In order to deal with the existence of subsystems, we propose the existence of intra and inter anticipatory processes between subsystems. That is to say, one subsystem could anticipate its own evolutionary or functional process (intra-anticipation), or the evolutionary or functional process of other subsystem (interanticipation). In this paper we present the relationship that exists between the structure of the system, its evolutionary characteristics and intra and inter-anticipatory process.
