Dynamic Enterprise (as a Composite Service System)

Nowadays, services - as abstract constructs - are ubiquitous in the modern economic world. This brings the idea to design enterprise architectures in a service-centered manner. The important advantage of this is a highly flexible ability to exchange "services" between different systems (e.g. enterprises), with the aim that each participant can intensively focus on their core activities or competencies. The challenge now is the flexible and fast internal service fitability regards changing requirements and circumstances. This paper aims to give an overview of important design aspects -on two levels- which are relevant for construction and engineering services and enterprises. As a further perspective, this aspect orientation could be the first step to the development of a holistic and flexible reference model for service systems in different areas and industries.
