An Architectural Model for System of Information Systems

One of the most important aspects when designing and constructing an Information System is its architecture. This also applies to complex systems such as System of Information Systems (SoIS). Thus, we aim to propose an architectural model of System of Information Systems (SoIS). Though Architecture-based approaches have been promoted as a means of controlling the complexity of systems construction and evolution, what we really look for in this paper is an architectural model to aggregate services from already constructed systems. Nevertheless, it would be a good practice to compare the presented architecture of SoIS to other architecture-based approaches such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Also, it is beneficial to examine how we can use the well-established standards of SOA for the designing of SoIS. In this paper we present an architectural model for System of Information Systems, and highlight the standards of Service Oriented Architecture that might help us in this task.
