Using ArchiMate with TOGAF
Graham Berrisford and Marc Lankhorst   
Wednesday, 24 June 2009

This paper is the second in a series in which we intend to shed light on the possibilities of using the ArchiMate language with an architecture method and inform you on the pitfalls you may face. This paper follows up “Using ArchiMate with an Architecture Method”, which outlined some of the fundamental ideas behind ArchiMate and set out nine questions to ask of a method to be used in conjunction with it.

This second paper returns to answer the nine questions we defined in the first paper (to help you integrate the use of ArchiMate with your chosen architecture method) using TOGAF as an example architecture method.

Using ArchiMate with an Architecture Method
Graham Berrisford and Marc Lankhorst   
Wednesday, 10 June 2009

The ArchiMate language for enterprise architecture has recently been adopted by The Open Group as a technical standard. This may result in a steep rise in its popularity. However, ArchiMate is only a language and does not prescribe a way of working. Hence, it will be used in combination with some other method to guide the process of architecting. Some assume it will be easy to use ArchiMate when following the process of their preferred architecture method. Indeed, it will be easy to use the ArchiMate box symbols in drawing artifacts/diagrams. Perhaps many will do this, thinking they have thus used the ArchiMate language with their method.

Enterprise Reference Architecture
Ahmed Fattah   
Wednesday, 03 June 2009
This paper relates my experience in developing and applying an approach that successfully used Reference Architecture to bridge the gap or disconnect between Enterprise Architecture and Project-level Architecture. Although there is a huge amount of information about Reference Architecture, there is considerable confusion about what it is and how it can be used effectively. I analysed and positioned various types of RAs within a simple classification scheme that cleared up some of this confusion. The scheme delineates a category of Reference Architecture which I refer to as Enterprise Reference Architecture (ERA). The paper discusses how ERA can be used to address some of the challenges facing EA including the enterprise-wide adoption of SOA.

The role of enterprise architecture in knowledge conversion.
Frederike Schweers   
Wednesday, 03 June 2009

In this article we explore the role of enterprise architecture in knowledge conversion. Enterprise architecture is high level, abstract representation of an enterprise and knowledge conversion is the creation of new knowledge from existing knowledge. Based on a literature research we can conclude that enterprise architecture provides a context for constructive dialogue, makes the concepts that are a result of knowledge conversion explicit and provides explicit knowledge for conversion processes. The role of enterprise architecture is limited due to the nature of the type of knowledge that is captured in enterprise architecture.

De vernieuwde NORA
Daan Rijsenbrij   
Saturday, 30 May 2009

Na NORA 1.0 (2006) en NORA 2.0 (2007) werkt ICTU nu aan NORA 3.0. Door de modulaire structuur van deze laatste versie wordt ons beloofd dat het geheel veel overzichtelijker zal worden. Het katern ‘Strategie’ is het eerste document dat nu min of meer klaar is. Dit katern beschouwen de auteurs als de basis voor NORA. Een echt basisdocument is een hele verbetering ten opzichte van NORA 2.0., maar ik begrijp niet waarom het dan niet gewoon basisdocument heet in plaats van strategiekatern. Er is trouwens niets strategisch aan, en het is in feite bedoeld als een ‘verkoopbrochure’ over architectuur voor het topmanagement.

A Stage Maturity Model for the adoption of an enterprisewide Service-Oriented Architecture (SMM-SOA)
Maarten Veger   
Wednesday, 27 May 2009

A Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural style that supports loosely coupled services to enable business flexibility in an interoperable, technology-agnostic manner. SOA adoption can be a solution to integrate the heterogeneous applications in an organization. In a SOA, existing applications are decomposed into application services, and business processes are decomposed into business services. Application services can be reused throughout the organization because their service descriptions are published in a service registry, and they can interact using standards for the exchange of messages. Application services are loosely coupled, and can therefore be orchestrated to automate business processes. By using standards for message exchange, service description and service discovery, functionality residing in different business functions can be composed to automate business processes that span different business functions.

State of the Art in Enterprise Architecture Management 2009
Sabine Buckl, Alexander M. Ernst, Josef Lankes, Florian Matthes, Christian M. Schweda   
Monday, 25 May 2009
EA management is a relatively new and hence constantly evolving discipline, which targets at establishing methods for aligning business and IT on a company-wide level. As state of the art and trends in this discipline are widely diverse in the industry, we compiled this report as a comprehensive insight into the current state of the practice and the roles, which it is going to take in the future. This report is based on the results and findings of a survey, which was conducted from 2006 to 2008 to determine the state of the art in EA management in Europe.

Architectuuraudit: de toegevoegde waarde
David Campbell en Arjan de Vries   
Monday, 18 May 2009

In de automatiseringsgids van 30 januari 2009 brak Daan Rijsenbrij een lans voor de architectuuraudit. Een opdrachtgever staat voor een nogal verstrekkend besluit wanneer hij een realisatietraject start op basis van een (kersverse) architectuur. De architectuur moet ondersteuning bieden bij dit besluit. De auditor kan aanvullende zekerheid geven over de aanwezige beheersmaatregelen ter borging van de kwaliteit van de architectuur en het werken onder architectuur. De auteurs hebben binnen de Rijksauditdienst ervaring opgedaan met het managementinstrument architectuuraudits. Met dit artikel willen wij onze ervaringen met de lezers delen.
