Abstract

In many dynamic externally-driven enterprises, like the Government, citizens participation in the design and evolution of services is critical and essential for satisfaction. Web 2.0 features are changing the way citizens interact and participate. Here we leverage this with a sense-respond architecture between two clouds: a) a front-end social networks of communities and citizens, and b) back-end enterprise application services. We introduce an Adaptive Complex Environment (ACE) ontology and mediator architecture for complex service-intensive organizations. This mediator architecture is illustrated using Web 2.0 (e.g. Facebook services) to make tacit service requirements of user communities explicit, leading to the adaptation in the use of back-end services. We also present a specific eGovernment application scenario where the services are identified, designed, delivered and evolved by employing ACE. We thus motivate research in management environments in which stakeholder participation, development, and operational aspects are integrated so that services can be co-engineered (i.e. collaboratively, continuously and concurrently).
