Community-Aware Adaptive Systems

Abstract

Communities of practice have been studied widely in organizational science for knowledge sharing and learning process. Consequently, organizational systems have to be designed and engineered with communities as stakeholder in the continuous requirements engineering processes of modern service-based architectures. Here, we discuss preliminary ideas, how to represent the community context of ongoing change processes in these architectures explicitly and how to adapt the information system design and engineering process to the changing community context. We sketch future work on cross-media network analysis to create community-awareness in the informa- tion system design and engineering process.
