1.0 Introduction
The increase in the global competition of the overall industries within the various
parts of the world, it is necessary for the enterprises to develop some smart as well as
sustainable systems in respect to the enhancement of the enterprises. For the enhancement of
the sustainable environment in different industries, the enterprises must intend to develop the
significant smart systems, which may depict the intensity of the business profit within the
organization. This development of the smart systems also includes the smart decisions in
respect to the fact of the smart decisions. This will help the industries to take a leap of growth
of the industries in the respective areas. The information systems that are needed to provide
an extensive growth to the industries must possess the capability of handling, analysing as
well as organising the overall information sources that can help the enhancement of the smart
systems. The article that will be reviewed within the next part of the report will intend to
discuss the challenges as well as the current developments in regards to the sensing, smart as
well as sustainable enterprise systems [1]. This article will significantly put focus on the
different methodologies, challenges as well as the models which are needed by the significant
enterprises for the development of the sustainable systems in respect to the enterprises.
2.0 Intention and content of the article
The article clearly depicts the significant challenges as well as the potential
developments that are associated with the development and the maintenance of the significant
models, processes, competencies as well as technologies that will help the development of the
smart information systems. There are significant digital competencies that are required to
cope with the significant software as well as services that will enhance improvement and
development of the smart and enterprises systems [5]. This will effectively help the
transformation in the field of the business models, processing as well as operational models

for the enhancement of the information as well as communication technologies. The potential
need of the significant technologies in respect to the networks, big data analytics, social
computing, and cloud computing in respect to the smart sensors have increased within the
environment of the enterprise systems.
The proposed system that is represented within the article depicts the usage of the
significant concept, which is clearly stated in the article. This includes the potential
collaboration of the organization with respect to the network of the social media present
outside the industry [3]. Moreover, the transparency of the information access in respect to
the processing of the data thus enabling the overall response of the community. In addition to
this, the sharing of the information is also adhered for the carrying out the innovations as well
as collaborating procedures. The combination of the human intelligence as well as artificial
intelligence is also depicted to be a significant factor in respect to the development of the
smart information systems.
The smart enterprise systems tends to optimise the overall business processes within
the environment of an enterprise that will help the enterprise in various ways. This includes
the fact of becoming the information systems much more customer centric as well as working
efficiently in respect to the business processes thus adhering the best competencies available
within the organization [9]. Moreover, the significant methodology of Agile is used by the
various resources of the organization thus amplifying the identification procedure for the
resources of the information as well as the risks that are associated with the overall
information systems present within the enterprise systems.
The article also puts a clear reflection in respect to the overall architectures, modelling
techniques, models as well as the applications and the systems that are needed to develop the
significant smart and sustainable enterprise systems within the enterprise present today [4].

The goals that the enterprise systems tries to achieve is mainly depicted with the three
concepts. These are identified as the contribution towards the development with the help of
the nnew concepts that are to be adhered by the enterprises for the significant development of
the smart and sustainable enterprise systems. Moreover, the next goal that is identified for the
successful development are depicted as the significant recommendations that are required to
improve the overall architectures as well as the languages of the enterprises [7]. The last goal
that is intended to achieve for the development of the smart information systems are
identified as the proposed methods in regards to the model management as well as the
education.
The article provides a potential overview of the significant viewpoints in respect to
the development of the reference structure thus adhering the concept of the overall
development of the smart systems within the environment of the enterprise systems [11]. The
five viewpoints are stated as the enterprise viewpoint, the computational viewpoint, the
engineering viewpoint, the information viewpoint as well as the technology viewpoint.
This significant article reflects the usage of the complex adaptive systems tin respect
to the fact of the enterprise systems for the development of the smart, sustainable as well as
sensing enterprise systems. The complexities that are identified for the development of the
enterprise systems significantly requires the sensing as well as understanding of the
enterprise’s business environment throughout the social, ethical, environmental as well as
economic dimensions [8]. The significant agility of the business models as well as the
resilience of the business provides a great deal of opportunities as well as management of
knowledge within the environment of the enterprises thus improving the continuity of the
business models. Moreover, the article also identifies the usage of the Artificial Intelligence
tools that will help the development of the intelligent enterprise systems, which will provide
the effectiveness of the overall computing applications [2]. The significant complex adaptive

5SENSING, SMART AND SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS
systems are depicted as the supply chain management within the environment of the
enterprise systems.
The adherence of the significant models for the development of the sensing, smart and
enterprise systems are depicted to enhance the overall operability of the various constraints
within the enterprises. This tends to enhance the data operability, process operability, service
operability as well as business operability [6]. The significant operability challenges are
identified as the overall technological barriers that tends to restrict the exchange of the
information within the overall enterprise. Moreover, the organizational barrier is also
depicted as the significant disparities of the overall processes as well as structures of the
organization. In addition to this, the conceptual barriers are also depicted to be useful, as it
tends to emerge the different understandings as well as the concepts of the exchanged
information.
The article depicts the usage of the Service Modelling Language for the development
of the Model Driven Service Enterprise Architecture that the will enhance any enterprise with
the development of the smart and sustainable enterprise systems [12]. The below picture
provides a clear overview of the MDSEA architecture for the development of the smart
enterprise systems.

The article primarily enhances the overall modelling elements that are identified to
cope with the business services in respect to the development of the smart enterprise systems
within the business processes. The below picture represents the business service modelling
elements in respect to the development of the smart enterprise systems.
There are various models that are suggested by the authors in respect to the fact of the
management as well as the education of the significant enterprises are associated with the
overall fact in respect to the operability of the business, the awareness modules as the better
management competencies of the overall enterprises for the development of the smart
enterprises [10]. The article significantly represents the challenges that might be faced while
the development of the significant modules, which further tends to provide smart, sensing as
