The large scale enterprise information systems are often consisted of many subsystems or components. Coordination among subsystems or components is an important problem in building and integrating complex enterprise information systems. In general, there is no single architecture of information system that is appropriate for any enterprise, and there is no single coordination mechanism that is appropriate for any enterprise information systems. In this paper, organization structures and coordination mechanisms are discussed. According to the similarities of certain coordination problems in different enterprise information systems, this paper gives some coordination patterns for coping with special cases, including centralized coordinator, shared data spaces, peer to peer, flow, and hierarchy.
