SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE AND ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE: A JUXTA POSITION?#

Forward Position Kinematics of a Parallel Manipulator with New Architecture

The forward position kinematics (FPK) of a parallel manipulator with new architecture supposed to be used as a moving mechanism in a flight simulator project is discussed in this paper. The closed form solution for the FPK problem of the manipulator is first determined. It has, then, been shown that there are at most 24 solutions for FPK problem. This result has been verified by using other tec...

Analyzing System Maintainability Using Enterprise Architecture Models

A fast and continuously changing business environment demands flexible software systems easy to modify and maintain. Due to the extent of interconnection between systems and the internal quality of each system many IT-decision makers find it difficult predicting the effort of making changes to their systems. To aid IT-decision makers in making better decisions regarding what modifications to ma...
