Enterprise Operating System (EOS) in Action: Distributed Simulation of Enterprise Activities and Operations

Operating System (OS) is a well-known concept in computer science acting as an interface between human and computer hardware. In the perspective of developing future generation of enterprise systems based on IoT and Cyber-Physical System principles, this paper proposes to develop an Enterprise Operating System (EOS).Unlike ERP, which is defined as a platform that allows the organization at the operational level to use a system of integrated applications in order to automate many back office functions related to technology and services; and unlike the Best of Breed (BOB), which is defined as a leading software that focuses on providing the features and functions for one component in the value chain by maintaining multiple systems; EOS will act as an interface between enterprise business managers and resources for supporting the distributed simulations and allowing interoperability over the heterogeneous environments by ensuring real time monitoring and control of enterprise operations.
