FERNANDES, Silvia. New challenges in IS: The increasing importance of cyber-physical processes. RISTI [online]. 2018, n.30, pp.51-61. ISSN 1646-9895.  https://doi.org/10.17013/risti.30.51-61.

Business models and services have been challenged by new cyber-physical systems that combine physical and digital environments. These have led to rethink information systems (IS) and process architecture. Companies should organize their IS portfolio to design intelligent processes that respond quickly and creatively to new job and market challenges. An open, agile, active, context-permeable architecture will be very useful. By allowing well-designed services and interfaces, it will be possible to continuously match users' expectations and activities resulting in greater integration and customization.

Keywords : ciber-physical systems; IS portfolio; process architecture; enterprise architecture; 4th industry.
