Abstract

Compared to single physical products or services; IPS² are characterized by a very high degree of dynamic changes not only during their planning; but throughout their entire life cycle. These changes have to be managed; tracked and documented by a change management process and supported by a change management system. As IPS² changes and change processes are very difficult to plan during the IPS² development phase; existing static and deterministic change management solutions are not appropriate to be used for IPS². This paper describes a new concept of an adaptive change management for IPS². The concept described allows for appropriate redesigning; adaption and execution of change processes of IPS² throughout its entire life cycle to carry out an IPS² change most efficiently with regard to time and costs.
