Digital Ecosystem (DE) is a concept emerged from the natural existence of business ecosystem, which in turn is taken from the concept of biological ecological systems. On the other hand, System of Information Systems (SoIS) are special type of System of Systems (SoS) that deals with several Information Systems producing overwhelming amount of information. In this paper we aim to define the concepts of DE, SoS, and SoIS. Then, provide the guidance for moving from Digital Ecosystem to System of Information Systems. Thus, we aim to draw the link between the model of DE presented in literature and the concept of SoS and SoIS. Then, we propose an architectural model of System of Information Systems (SoIS) and investigate the knowledge base role in such complex system operating in the environment of a Digital Ecosystem. These complex Digital Ecosystems pose a significant technical improvement in terms of information interoperability that overcomes conceptual and technical barriers. In this paper we are moving from Digital Ecosystem to System of Information Systems by defining the similarities between the two concepts, then proposing an architectural model of SoIS in correspondence to DE model.

“…Based on the work in [7] [8] it is possible o view the System of Systems as a Digital Ecosystem (DE), where different systems of the SoS can be considered as species in the DE. Also base on the model of DE presented in [7], one of the systems composing SoS can play the role of the leader system as seen in the example provided in a following section about MEMORAe SoIS.…”

Recently, new Information Systems are being introduced to users on regular basis. At a certain point, users might deal with several systems producing overwhelming amount of information and resources. This is challenging on many levels, as the user has to look for information and resources in different Information Systems. One of the most important challenges here is the way to manage the resources produced from those systems. Another important one is to produce knowledge from these resources and provide support for decision making process. This also applies to complex systems such as System of Information Systems (SoIS). Thus, we aim to investigate resources management and decision support in a System of Information Systems (SoIS). We plan to address this issue by introducing an architectural model of SoIS. This model will provide guidance to build a first prototype. The SoIS operates as a single entry point for several Information Systems granting the user access to information and resources produced from multiple Information Systems. It also provide the ability to track users' activities to create an added value not possible to maintain when those systems were operating separately. Furthermore, this encompassing solution is possible by introducing a knowledge base as a leader system to the orchestration of SoIS. This knowledge base can take the role for storing, organizing, and sharing resources from different Information Systems. Thus, provide the link between resources present in different systems and facilitate resources management and decision making in a System of Information Systems.

“…We will use standard UML sequence diagram to represent the sequence of actions taking place to perform this service in the SoIS. Sequence diagrams are good means to represent interactions in such complex systems as mentioned by (Majd Saleh, 2015). The sequence diagram is shown in (Fig.…”

Information Systems: Towards a System of Information Systems

Information Systems are viewed as a set of services creating a workflow of information directed to specific groups and members. This allows individuals to share ideas and their talents with other members. In such manner, tasks can be carried out both efficiently and effectively. Due to the nature of Information Systems that revolves around creating information useful to users, and in some higher forms of Information Systems creating knowledge, management of information and/or knowledge is part of their functionalities. In this paper we aim to study the placement of Information Systems as part of a System of Systems (SoS), as these large systems poses significant technical improvement in terms of information interoperability that overcomes conceptual and technical barriers. Therefore, we move towards defining and modeling System of Information Systems (SoIS). This paper discovers what is currently known about Information Systems and Systems of Systems, and proceeds towards suggesting an architecture of a System of Information Systems that integrates several Information Systems and allows information to be transferred at ease between those different components.
