INTELLIGENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS, QUO VADIS?

Based on its most popular incarnations, Intelligent Information Systems (IIS) appears to be a subdiscipline of artificial intelligence with elements of Information Systems (IS). In asking Quo Vadis, (Latin for “whither are you going?”), we appear to engage in evolutionism. However, this article does not attempt to predict the entire evolutionary pattern of the subject. It merely contemplates the effects of continuation of currently observable trends in IS [6] and AI towards the growth of an academic subdiscipline of collective interest called Intelligent Information Systems. The goal is to understand and introduce some conceptual order into the phenomenon of proliferation of IS and AI types.
