Challenges in Enterprise and Information Systems Modeling in the Contexts of Socio Cyber Physical Systems

Nowadays information systems extend beyond the traditional enterprise resource planning systems, which often are regarded as socio-technical systems. With availability of cloud computing, open data, smart devices and smart factories, information systems development requires considering enterprises as socio-cyber-physical systems with emerging relationships to other systems; and handling emerging data available in the cyberspace. Well known frameworks such as ArchiMate enterprise architecture language, Reference Architecture Model Industry 4.0, and Work System framework only partly can cover the needs of socio-cyber-physical systems modeling. There are several challenges in the application of these frameworks in information systems design in the contexts of socio-cyber-physical systems. To meet the identified challenges, some extensions and integration of the frameworks are suggested.
