Together with research partners Software AG Research submitted the "Emergence as Competitive Advantage" at the 14th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS) in Warsaw, Poland. The paper is now accepted and was written by Sebastian Frischbier (TU Darmstadt), Michael Gesmann, Dirk Mayer (Software AG), Andreas Roth (SAP) and Christian Webel (Fraunhofer IESE). The authors introduce the notion of emergence in enterprise software systems as a guiding principle. Emergent Enterprise Software Systems (EESS) will be capable of reacting to changes in the environment by adapting their behavior and exposing new functionality.
The conference where the work will be presented will take place from June 28 to July 1, 2012. The purpose of the conference is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the advances and business applications of information systems. Six simultaneous tracks will be held, covering different aspects of Enterprise Information Systems Applications, including Enterprise Database Technology, Systems Integration, Artificial Intelligence, Decision Support Systems, Information Systems Analysis and Specification, Internet Computing, Electronic Commerce, Human Factors and Enterprise Architecture.
