Enterprise Architecture
So m e basic co ncepts…
► Enterprise Architecture IEEE Std 1471: Architecture = structure(s) o f a system in term s o f
co m po nents,
their externally visible pro perties,
their relatio ns,
and the underlying principles
“Structure with a visio n”
► EA: Describing Coherence Information architecture
Product architecture
? Process architecture
? ? ? Application architecture
Technical architecture
?
► What is Enterprise Architecture?
A pro cess
A pro duct
For developing and using enterprise architecture in an organization the complete and consistent set of methods, rules and models, which will guide the (re)design, migration and implementation of business processes, organizational structures, information systems and the technical infrastructure within an organization
Fo r m anaging change and co m plexity
► Why Enterprise Architecture?
Managing change and co m plexity:
Aligning business and IT Outsourcing Impact analysis Project support (project start architectures) Portfolio management Communication with stakeholders …
Obtaining insight in current situatio n (as-is) So enterprise architecture as a to o l
for communication for governance for innovation
► Important notions (IEEE 1471)
A stakeho lder is a perso n o r o rganisatio n with a ce rtain intere st in (part o f) an architecture A view is a representatio n o f a system fro m the perspective o f a set o f co ncerns o f o ne o r m o re stakeho lders. A view is what yo u see . A viewpo int is where yo u are lo o king fro m . It define s ho w to build a view, e.g. by m eans o f a tem plate. Diffe rent stakeho lders
Have different interests and use different concepts Have different views Have different viewpoints On the basis of one consistent architectural model

ArchiMate and …
► ArchiMate and other languages
ArchiMate: perfect starting po int fo r MDA and so ftw are develo pm ent
ArchiMate incorporates the service paradigm ArchiMate has implementation relationships to process modeling languages (BPNM, BPEL) ArchiMate has implementation relationships to software engineering design languages (UML)
ArchiMate co nnects architectural do m ains
It has a broader scope, but less detail than UML and BPMN
It does not replace specialized languages for different architectural domains, such as UML, BPMN and others
