I firmly stand by the position expressed in the discussion in the previous post:.
Before proceeding to the formulation of 'what is EDS ', you need to decide - and why this formulation is needed.
Otherwise, the search for the formulation becomes intractable, endless task, which only makes sense to engage in the genre of ' why do not chew the fat on the intellectual theme in anticipation of a night tram '.
And was surprised to see a comment in response:.
... Any definition is valuable, it is the meaning of existence do not have to choose out '.
By the nature of the activities I had at one time ( long enough ) to carry out applied research work. Do not even make sense to specify which ones, because there is a basic (though not only) the principle of the theory of knowledge in general -purpose. Namely: tool selection problem ( for example, the model used ) is determined by the specific purpose of this task.
In other words, not formulating a goal, it is impossible to choose a means of achieving. It is impossible to discuss 'what is EDS ' is undefined - why do we need it.
Otherwise we find ourselves in a vicious circle in which we will walk indefinitely. And we will give a definition ( as in the previous post ), which are equally suitable for absolutely any enterprise management system ( including inventory control ).
What could be the target practical problems when talking about definitions? .
As can be upgraded (including automated using IT) enterprise management system to improve its performance?.
How to choose the means to implement the project on an upgrade? .
To entrust the implementation of the ( assigned principal) of such a project?.
What regulatory requirements must be implemented to meet the enterprise system? .

At the end of this post is a story that to me at one time made a lasting impression that stands in front of me every time, when it comes to matters of methodological research.
The case was a quarter of a century ago. A small team from our laboratory ( 3-4 ), we went to the Institute of Mechanics, Moscow State University (at every party ) in a small workshop where graduate professor of the Institute shall hold a workshop - Report on a fragment of his work. By the way, the goal of this seminar -. approbation. ( now completely forgotten the concept). its ( graduate student ), the solution of some mathematical problem.
Gathered in the small audience: graduate student, professor (her boss, Dr.. p -th. n. ) And we ( 3-4 ). The professor says, you need to wait - I wanted to come ZamPoNauke - Grigorian (who by the way, and now works there in the same position).
Comes Grigoryan (can not remember his I- O). Getting Started.
Graduate student shows for the first poster on which is written the equation ( rather complex ), which is going to solve.
Grigorian: ... What is the practical problem it involves and why it needs to be addressed '.
Graduate student (she was a mathematician by profession, and not from the applied topics ): ' Yes, it is not important. Here is the equation, let us solve it '.
Grigorian: ...
Postgraduate (by the way, not a young lady, very self-confident woman ): ...
After that, Grigorian gets up, goes to the board and said the room (4-5 persons):.
' In this regard the workshop closed. Since the purpose of the task is not specified, the search for its solution does not make sense '.
And out of the room. We looked at each other, and went after him.
And I can remember since the. And take a strict principle of.
