An agent-based approach for strategic alignment in enterprise systems: A cancer care case (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Enterprise systems are viewed as large-scale software systems, which are usually assembled through a number of protocols inspired by political coalitions. This is due to the fact that incompatibilities emerge through the nature of subsystems can only...
