We propose a technique to optimize the costs incurred between two layers of the EA, especially, considering differing departmental budgets. This is achieved through consideration of a flow problem aiming to optimize a graph consisting of different nodes, allowing budgets to be used by different departments. Additionally, we implement techniques previously published to allow operational and transitioning costs to be taken into consideration, in an effort to better reflect the organizational problems found in reality.enEnterprise ArchitectureLinear Integer ProgrammingOptimizationDepartment BudgetsMinimum-Cost Flow ProblemText/Conference Paper10.18420/inf2019_ws041617-5468
