<--( BOOK )------------------------------------------------------------------->

An enterprise architecture tries to describe and control an organisation's

structure, processes, applications, systems and techniques in an integrated way

The unambiguous specification and description of components and their

relationships in such an architecture requires a coherent architecture

modelling language



Lankhorst and his co-authors present such an enterprise modelling language

that captures the complexity of architectural domains and their relations and

allows the construction of integrated enterprise architecture models. They

provide architects with concrete instruments that improve their architectural

practice. As this is not enough, they additionally present techniques and

heuristics for communicating with all relevant stakeholders about these

architectures. Since an architecture model is useful not only for providing

insight into the current or future situation but can also be used to

evaluate the transition from `as-is' to `to-be', the authors also describe

analysis methods for assessing both the qualitative impact of changes to an

architecture and the quantitative aspects of architectures, such as

performance and cost issues

The modelling language presented has been proven in practice in many reallife

case studies and has been adopted by The Open Group as an international

standard. So this book is an ideal companion for enterprise IT or business

architects in industry as well as for computer or management science students

studying the field of enterprise architecture
