Abstract:Abstract. Most enterprise architectures published so far are capable of generating reasonably good descriptive models for individual enterprises to enable integration, organization and synchronization of enterprise elements: organizational structure, business processes, information systems and technology infrastructure, among others. However, research in this field applied to the extended enterprise or inter-enterprise architectures that takes into account the growing trend towards complex collaborative enviro… Show more
“…So far, in the context of the current research, three papers have been published that consolidate the state of the art research in three main topics: strategic alignment, enterprise collaboration and enterprise architecture [2,3,4]. In this section, we are going to brief the reader in a general way about the principal conclusions deduced in these papers, after a deep analysis of the literature.…”

Abstract. This paper proposes the concept of Inter-Enterprise Architecture (IEA), which seeks the application of tools and methodologies developed in the Enterprise Architecture (EA) field for the individual firm, adapting to an environment of collaboration between several companies that make networks or supply chains, in order to facilitate the integration and interoperability of their collaborative processes in line with its IS/IT (Information Systems/ Information Technology) to harmonize the joint processes, reduce risk and duplication, increase service and customer responsiveness, reduce technology costs and align the joint business to IS/IT.

“…In Vargas et al (2011) According to Kilgeret al (2008), the collaboration process consists of six activities. However, this generic process has not taken a certain crucial aspect into account: the definition of how to share benefits equitably to ensure the stability of the collaboration (Audy et al 2010).…”
According to the main enterprise architectures proposed so far, an EA should be conformed at least for a framework, a methodology and a modelling language. Sensing Enterprise (SE) is a quality of an enterprise or a network that allow it reacting to business stimuli based on the Internet. The advent of these both fields is recent and there is not evidence of the use of IEA to modelling SE, finding an interesting gap to work on. In this sense, this paper proposes an initial Framework for Inter Sensing Enterprise Architecture (FISEA), which seeks classify, organize, store and communicate in a conceptual level the elements for inter sensing enterprise architecture and their relationships, ensuring their consistency and integrity. This FISEA provides a clear picture about the elements and views that make up collaborative network (CN) and their inter-relationships, based on the support of the Internet for its operation.
