Enterprises are currently transforming their strategy, processes, and their information systems to extend their degree of digitalization. The potential of the Internet and related digital technologies, like Internet of Things, services computing, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data with analytics, mobile systems, collaboration networks, and cyber physical systems both drives and enables new business designs. Digitalization deeply disrupts existing businesses, technologies and economies and fosters the architecture of digital environments with many rather small and distributed structures. This has a strong impact for new value producing opportunities and architecting digital services and products guiding their design through exploiting a Service-Dominant Logic. The main result of the book chapter extends methods for integral digital strategies with value-oriented models for digital products and services which are defined in the framework of a multi-perspective digital enterprise architecture reference model.
Our paper gives first answers on a fundamental question: how can the design of architectures of intelligent digital systems and services be accomplished methodologically? Intelligent systems and services are the goals of many current digitalization efforts today and part of massive digital transformation efforts based on digital technologies. Digital systems and services are the foundation of digital platforms and ecosystems. Digtalization disrupts existing businesses, technologies, and economies and promotes the architecture of open environments. This has a strong impact on new value-added opportunities and the development of intelligent digital systems and services. Digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, services computing, cloud computing, big data with analytics, mobile systems, and social enterprise networks systems are important enablers of digitalization. The current publication presents our research on the architecture of intelligent digital ecosystems and products and services influenced by the service-dominant logic. We present original methodological extensions and a new reference model for digital architectures with an integral service and value perspective to model intelligent systems and services that effectively align digital strategies and architectures with artificial intelligence as main elements to support intelligent digitalization.
The current advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) combined with other digitalization efforts significantly impacts service ecosystems. Artificial intelligence has a substantial impact on new opportunities for the co-creation of value and the development of intelligent service ecosystems. Motivated by experiences and observations from digitalization projects, this paper presents new methodological perspectives and experiences from academia and practice on architecting intelligent service ecosystems and explores the impact of artificial intelligence through real cases supporting an ongoing validation. Digital enterprise architecture models serve as an integral representation of business, information, and technological perspectives of intelligent service-based enterprise systems to support management and development. This paper focuses on architectural models for intelligent service ecosystems, showing the fundamental business mechanism of AI-based value co-creation, the corresponding digital architecture, and management models. The focus of this paper presents the key architectural model perspectives for the development of intelligent service ecosystems.
Presently, many companies are transforming their strategy and product base, as well as their culture, processes and information systems to become more digital or to approach for a digital leadership. In the last years new business opportunities appeared using the potential of the Internet and related digital technologies, like Internet of Things, services computing, cloud computing, edge and fog computing, social networks, big data with analytics, mobile systems, collaboration networks, and cyber physical systems. Digitization fosters the development of IT environments with many rather small and distributed structures, like the Internet of Things, Microservices, or other micro-granular elements. This has a strong impact for architecting digital services and products. The change from a closed-world modeling perspective to more flexible open-world composition and evolution of micro-granular system architectures defines the moving context for adaptable systems. We are focusing on a continuous bottom-up integration of micro-granular architectures for a huge amount of dynamically growing systems and services, as part of a new digital enterprise architecture for service dominant digital products.
This chapter presents an introduction to the emerging trends for architecting the digital transformation having a strong focus on digital products, intelligent services, and related systems together with methods, models and architectures. The primary aim of this book is to highlight some of the most recent research results in the field. We are providing a focused set of brief descriptions of the chapters included in the book.
The digitization of our society changes the way we live, work, learn, communicate, and collaborate. The Internet of Things, enterprise social networks, adaptive case management, mobility systems, analytics for big data, and cloud services environments are emerging to support smart connected 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 service-oriented enterprise architectures. Our aim is to support flexibility and agile transformations for both business domains and related information technology. The present research paper investigates mechanisms for decision analytics in the context of multi-perspective explorations of enterprise services and their digital enterprise architectures by extending original architecture reference models with state of art elements for agile architectural engineering for the digitization and collaborative architectural decision support. The paper’s context focuses on digital transformations of business and IT and integrates fundamental mappings between adaptable digital enterprise architectures and service-oriented information systems. We are putting a spotlight on the example domain – Internet of Things.
Unternehmen sind derzeit dabei, ihre Strategie, ihre Prozesse und ihre Informationssysteme zu verändern, um ihren Digitalisierungsgrad zu erhöhen. Das Potenzial des Internets und verwandter digitaler Technologien wie Internet der Dinge, Services Computing, Cloud Computing, künstliche Intelligenz, Big Data mit Analysen, mobile Systeme, Kollaborationsnetzwerke und cyber-physikalische Systeme treibt neue Geschäftsmodelle an und ermöglicht sie. Die Digitalisierung führt zu einer tiefgreifenden Umwälzung bestehender Unternehmen, Technologien und Volkswirtschaften und fördert die Architektur digitaler Umgebungen mit vielen eher kleinen und verteilten Strukturen. Dies hat starke Auswirkungen auf neue Wertschöpfungsmöglichkeiten und die Gestaltung digitaler Dienste und Produkte, die durch die Nutzung einer service-dominanten Logik gesteuert werden. Das Hauptergebnis des Buchkapitels erweitert Methoden für integrale digitale Strategien um wertorientierte Modelle für digitale Produkte und Dienstleistungen, die im Rahmen eines multiperspektivischen digitalen Unternehmensarchitektur-Referenzmodells definiert werden.
