Fifteen years after Mark Weiser's inspiring article on ubiquitous computing [ 11], his vision has become technically feasible. Objects of everyday use are becoming increasingly interconnected and mobile communication involving devices of all sizes and bandwidths is used in various ways. Highly dynamic information systems (HDS) are emerging, bringing new challenges for the management of information systems: having to cope with components that enter and leave the system spontaneously and be autonomous in their actions. The changing and possibly conflicting requirements of the single components must be taken into account, which demands dynamic negotiation of requirements. Moreover, such highly dynamic systems must be able to contend with the constant growth of communicated data rapidly collected and accumulated in various forms. Solving the challenges of HDS is accompanied by a prospect of economic potential. A first realization is the present rollout of RFID by major retail groups worldwide. Currently, cost savings through process automation are of prime importance but the use of this technology in retailing goes beyond mere productivity improvements. Tagging items with RFID chips in combination with other wireless technologies, equipping customers with mobile communication devices, and using sensor networks allow, for example, personalizing services that have so far been successfully used in client-server e-commerce scenarios [ 5].
