Charting the landscape of enterprise architecture complexity cybernetics: A systematic literature analysis

摘要

Complexity Cybernetics relating to Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a hot topic recently. Although many researchers, organizations made much progress in the past years, common understanding in this domain is still limited. In this paper, a systematic literature analysis on complexity cybernetics in relation to EA was presented, in order to chart a landscape of state-of-the-art and to summarize some suggestions for future research. By analyzing the contexts of the 33 papers collected by the review method, different classifications were conducted. Besides, an extensive analysis, including distribution of papers over time, regional distribution, type of publication, and author-group distribution, was studied. In the end, some discussions and suggestions were given. Our work contributes to getting a better understanding towards the domain and to building a new groundwork future research.
