The use of an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) system to promote cross-discipline data capture, tracking and traceability has shown to provide a dramatic improvement during airworthiness audits of software-centric avionics systems by reducing both the time to locate relevant information and rework associated with errors in captured data and their traceability. When configured correctly, an ALM...
Many organizations now perceive the importance of linking business architecture to information architecture, [1]. Without this linkage, it is difficult to manage the changes needed by the business and maximize the benefits from the information technology (IT) investments. Linking the two domains require that we define the two architectures using a "common language". The information architecture...
In this paper we introduced a new enterprise architecture as NSSA for the establishment of networks without any infrastructure. Enterprise architecture is the following general structure planning system using information technology to optimize IT strategies to achieve business direction leads. In this architecture we use a component in this architecture, it's a framework of organizational architecture...
Cost and time are significant practical concerns when an organization addresses the development of an Enterprise Architecture (EA). In order to overcome these challenges, organizations need to focus on those architecture deliverables that are most relevant to the business problem being addressed with EA, yet without loosing cohesive integration over a longer life-cycle. In this paper, we propose a...
Both practitioners and researchers put forward enterprise architecture management as a mean for achieving success with information technology. Many arguments have been put forward to support the benefits claimed to arise from mature enterprise architecture management and a considerable amount of literature describes the components of mature (successful) enterprise architecture management. However,...
In this paper, the state of art of Business Ecosystem is explored. Along with the development of service science and computing technologies, the ubiquitous information service society is coming. The organization mode of enterprises is being deeply reformed. Service Oriented Enterprise and Business Ecosystem are new types of enterprise mode in the information service society. Several ecosystem analogies...
Enterprise Architecture (EA) has risen as a tool to support the process of making strategic business decisions, by achieving an integral vision of business and IT elements of an enterprise. An EA approach provides a better understanding of relationships between concepts from several domains, such as strategy, process, applications, and information. However, this heterogeneous aspect makes EA modeling...
For several years the mantra has been “closing the Business - IT gap”, enabling business people to focus on strategic direction, while not being unnecessarily burdened by the complexity of the underlying support systems. The discipline of Business Architecture continues to evolve, attempting to bring rigor to the task of matching imprecise strategic needs to rigid IT systems. Increasingly literature...
This paper describes our architecture-based approach to IT valuation. It sketches how different valuation methods can be combined and linked to models of business requirements and enterprise architecture, and how a first part of this approach is realized using Archi Mate and BiZZ design Architect. In this manner, the value and cost of different elements in the architecture can be computed and attributed...
The adoption of Enterprise Architecture (EA) concepts within organizations is causing an interest in the methodologies and supporting technologies available. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) supports EA in many facets. However, there is much dissolution with regard to the relationship between EA and SOA within organizations. There are also potential problems that may arise if this relationship...
Today's enterprises are confronted with an ever changing environment demanding continuous adaptation. A commonly accepted instrument to guide such transformations is enterprise architecture (EA) management. Enterprises seeking to introduce and establish such a management function see themselves confronted with a plethora of tools, approaches, and frameworks that claim to provide the definitive design...
More than two-thirds of enterprise architecture projects in the world are faced with failure on achieving pre-defined objectives. The major aim of this paper is to present a model for enterprise architecture (based on FEAF) project management by using PMBOK2008 framework in public utility organizations. In this regard, first the nature of IT projects and their distinct differences with other projects...
Requirements specifications seldom allow software and system architects to understand the business goals for a system. Architects need that information in order to design an appropriate architecture for the problem at hand. In this paper, we present a lightweight method based on goal oriented requirements engineering that begins with a canonical list of business goals and elicits specific business...
Information systems are complex and because society heavily depends on them, they have to be developed using the right enterprise architecture frameworks (EAFs). Although some major EAFs have been developed for more than a decade, information systems still fail to satisfy demands that organizations face and this reduces their competitive abilities. The failure may be due to the fact that either the...
Infrastructure software platform is not only the upstream and high ground of the software industry, but also the soft underbelly of China's software industry. Infrastructure software has a strong effect of driving the development of downstream application software and application systems. As a technological catching-up country, China has to research and develop its own infrastructure software platform...
The processes used to develop Enterprise Architecture (EA) define a framework that details the infrastructure, specifications and technical requirements needed by an organization. Current EA approaches do not consider the behavioral patterns exhibited by stakeholders and the effects of change introduced by an EA. The failure to recognize and address the impact of stakeholder behavior as an input to,...
The concept of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has had a significant impact not only on software engineering but on the analysis of an organization's business layer as well. In this paper we demonstrate that using the SOA concept into the Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework makes the best of the synergy existing between these two approaches. We will examine the characteristics of this relationship...
Greater emphasis on innovation of products and services calls for greater attention to the way organizations support collaboration in their business activities. Such support is usually provided by collaborative technologies, which must co-evolve as the collaboration evolves. This requires ways to manage changes in a way that synchronizes technical and business evolution. The paper focuses on providing...
Enterprise architecture (EA) models the desired relationships between business processes and technology. While the conceptual benefits of EA are many, experience shows that managing the EA can be daunting because of the complex interdependencies among business, technology and the people involved. Having sound EA frameworks and programs are necessary but insufficient conditions for EA success. Effective...
The relationship between enterprise architecture and its service delivery process in an organizational context suggests an interesting view on the role of the enterprise architect. Literature reveals that many of the challenges that enterprise architects encounter, are largely non-technical in nature. This points to the need for a non-technical perspective on the role of an enterprise architect in...
