Preface
Enterprise information systems of the future – evolving toward more performance through transparency and agility. The theme of CONFENIS 2012, the 6th International IFIP TC8 WG 8.9 Conference on Research and Practical Issues in Enterprise Information Systems, held in Ghent (Belgium) during September 19–21, 2012, emphasized two evolutions in the domain of enterprise information systems. The first evolution is the development of more open systems, e.g., the creation of interoperation between systems from collaborating organizations or the composition of systems from standard modules and packages offered by different vendors. The second evolution is the move toward more flexible systems; meaning easily configurable and adaptable systems based on service-oriented software architectures, the software as a service business model, cloud-computing infrastructures, and software product line approaches. Apart from these industry evolutions, we have also witnessed a rediscovery of the design science tradition in enterprise information systems research. Design science is where the origin of our academic discipline lies; however, the last few decades have seen enterprise information systems researchers move away from their core object of study (i.e., the system) toward the study of the envi
