EOS: enterprise operating systems

A proposal for developing an enterprise operating system (EOS) for real-time monitoring and control of enterprise operations is presented. The proposed EOS will work on top of enterprise computer operating systems to control and monitor enterprise resources instead of just computer components. A set of requirements and functionalities are first identified. Next, a survey of previous relevant works is presented and results are compared to the requirements. The architectures of the envisioned EOS are then outlined and two examples are presented to illustrate the use of the EOS. The last part draws some conclusions and gives future perspectives.
