    A Deep Perspective on the ArchiMate Modeling Language and Standard
    (Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures (EMISAJ) – International Journal of Conceptual Modeling: Vol. 15, Nr. 2, 2020) Atkinson, Colin; Kühne, Thomas
    Given the scale, complexity and variety of enterprise architectures, approaches for modeling them need to be as simple and flexible as possible in order to minimize the accidental complexity within enterprise architecture models. Multi-level modeling techniques offer an effective way of achieving this but to date there has been little research into how they could contribute to enterprise architecture modeling. In this article we therefore explore how the former could be best leveraged within the latter by considering the modeling goals, architecture and principles of one of the most concrete and widely used enterprise architecture modeling standards: ArchiMate. More specifically, we discuss how the conceptual integrity of the ArchiMate standard and modeling experience could be enhanced using multi-level modeling principles. In our discussions, we focus on a specific variant of multi-level modeling, called deep modeling, which is based on the notions of orthogonal classification and deep instantiation.

    Erstellung von Enterprise Architectures mit COBIT, TOGAF und ArchiMate
    (INFORMATIK 2024, 2024) Seyboth, Cassandra; Beckmann, Helmut
    Eine Enterprise Architecture ist mit der zunehmenden Bedeutung der IT für Unternehmen und dem raschen technologischen Fortschritt fast unabdingbar, um einen Überblick über die IT-Landschaft und Prozesse eines Unternehmens zu behalten. Frameworks, die dafür eine Hilfestellung geben, sind beispielsweise COBIT, TOGAF und ArchiMate. Neben einer kurzen Einführung in die einzelnen Frameworks wird auch deren Zusammenspiel betrachtet, wobei festgestellt werden konnte, dass es dazu nur wenig Literatur gibt. Es werden auch weniger populäre Frameworks genannt, die kaum in der Literatur vertreten sind. Bei der Betrachtung der operativen Umsetzung konnte ebenfalls ein Mangel konkreter Handlungsempfehlungen in der Literatur festgestellt werden.

    Optimizing Enterprise Architectures Using Linear Integer Programming Techniques
    (INFORMATIK 2017, 2017) Hacks, Simon; Lichter, Horst
    Within this paper, we present a technique to optimize the relations between two adjacent layers of Enterprise Architectures (EA). Therefore, we suggest to interpret the constraints between these two layers as triangles, where a needed capability of an upper layer element is realized by a lower layer element. This eases the communication of the optimization model e.g. to the management. Moreover, we propose a mapping between the elements of our technique to the widely accepted ArchiMate notation to enable the application of our technique in existing organizations.

    OT Modeling: The Enterprise Beyond IT
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 61, No. 4, 2019) Lara, Paola; Sánchez, Mario; Villalobos, Jorge
    Enterprises are composed of an enormous number of elements (e.g., organizational units, human resources, production processes, and IT systems) typically classified in the business or the IT domain. However, some crucial elements do not belong in either group: they are directly responsible for producing and delivering the company's goods and services and include all the elements that support day to day operations. Collectively, these elements have been called operational technologies (OT) and have been conspicuously excluded from enterprise modeling (EM) approaches which traditionally have focused on the business and IT dimensions. Evidence of this is the absence of OT elements in languages and metamodels for EM. This is in line with the historical division between IT and OT in organizations that has led to information silos, independent teams, and disparate technologies that only recently have started to be reconciled. Considering that OT is critical to most productive organizations, and the benefits that EM brings to its understanding and improvement, it makes sense to expand EM to include OT. For that purpose, this paper proposes an extension to ArchiMate 3.0 which includes crucial OT elements. On top of that, this paper also proposes an approach to further expand ArchiMate to address specific industries where more specific OT elements are required. This is illustrated in the paper with an extension for the Oil and Gas case that was validated with experts belonging to five companies in the sector.

    Representing Variability in Enterprise Architecture
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 61, No. 2, 2019) Rurua, Nino; Eshuis, Rik; Razavian, Maryam
    Organizations that operate on an international scale have a high variation of business operations, caused by country-specific regulations and compliance requirements. The differences in requirements lead to variability in the designed business processes and their supporting applications and infrastructure technology. Such variability should be represented in enterprise architectures, which are structures that align business operations to IT. However, current approaches to enterprise architecture are agnostic to variability. The paper presents an explorative case study, performed at an international high-tech company in the area of electronic invoicing, in which a solution for representing variability in enterprise architecture is designed. The developed solution has been validated by company experts.
