Tool Support for Conflict Resolution of Models for Automated Enterprise Architecture Documentation

Improving the documentation of models used for Enterprise Architecture (EA) management is essential for the progress of the discipline in practice. Automated EA documentation seeks to increase data quality and efficiency of this process by collecting relevant EA data from existing information sources in the organization. While empirical evidence on the feasibility of the approach and theoretical solutions have already been proposed in research, tool support for the implementation is still an open issue since technical solutions for fundamental problems arising during the automated documentation of EA models are not available. In this paper we demonstrate a collaboration platform to support the resolution of model conflicts during automated documentation. We incorporate stakeholders in the resolution of these conflicts using an implementation of a conflict resolution workflow and a novel interactive visualization.
