Abstract
Developing systems that are capable of monitoring and learning about themselves, and thereby rapidly react to changes in their environment, has become essential to any enterprise. The search for solutions to this complex and challenging problem has stimulated both researchers and practitioners. This paper attempts to connect the views of the researchers and practitioners by relating the state-of-the-art approach proposed by the Complex Organic Distributed Architecture (CODA), with Cap Gemini Ernst & Young’s vision of adaptive architecture. CODA applies cybernetic concepts such as self-organisation, self-regulation and viability to derive an intelligent architecture, which can react to failures in achieving its objectives and proactively search for successful patterns of behaviour. The paper presents a model for developing adaptive enterprise systems using CODA, which at the same time satisfies Cap Gemini Ernst & Young’s characteristics for adaptability. The paper also briefly describes how the model can be implemented using current enterprise infrastructures.
