The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in software development has revolutionized the industry, leading to faster and more accurate results. However, implementation AI requires a robust framework ensure effective planning, design, implementation, maintenance AI-enabled systems. Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) provides such framework, enabling organizations develop structured ...

This paper investigates how Enterprise Architecture (EA) evolves due to emerging trends. It specifically explores how EA integrates the Service-oriented Architecture (SOA). Archer’s Morphogenetic theory is used as an analytical approach to distinguish the architectural conditions under which SOA is introduced, to study the relationships between these conditions and SOA introduction, and to refl...

With the rapid development of economic globalization and enterprise informatization in emerging markets, the key to making the most out of the two rests within how to integrate and share information as well as how to provide critical and accurate data for enterprise decision makers. However, at present, many enterprises are still in the early stage of research and exploration into the concrete ...

At present, more and more IT organisations adopt new architectural practices to effectively deal with the increasingly heterogeneous landscape of their IT architectures. The efficient and integrated management of the various architecture artefacts and their interdependencies described in architecture models is a crucial success factor for these initiatives. This paper presents an approach for e...

While Enterprise Architecture Modeling (EAM) methodologies become more and more popular, an EAM methodology tailored to the needs of virtual organizations (VO) is still to be developed. Among the most popular EAM methodologies, TOGAF has been chosen as the basis for a new EAM methodology taking into account characteristics of VOs presented in this paper. In this new methodology, referred as Vir...

A key constraint for growing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is the business skills required to grow the enterprises through the stages of transformation. Criticism against growth stage models for SMEs is of concern, since these models contain the typical knowledge that appeals to managers of small enterprises as guidance in how to manage growth. In this article we propose the SMEAG model t...

A large body of intuitive and analytical models has evolved over the last several decades to assist decision makers (DMs) in enterprise architecture (EA) framework selection. While these models have made great strides in EA framework evaluation, the intuitive models lack a structured framework and the analytical models do not capture intuitive preferences of multiple DMs. Furthermore, crisp dat...

-In the recent years, Information Technology (IT) has come to play an important, and often vital, role in almost all aspects of the life and so there is a growing role and importance for the enterprise architecture (EA) in the management of the organizations. Network security architecture, which can be referred as a comprehensive description of all of the key elements and relationships that mak...

Australian government enterprises have shown a significant interest in the cloud technology-enabled enterprise transformation. Australian government suggests the whole-of-a-government strategy to cloud adoption. The challenge is how best to realise this cloud adoption strategy for the cloud technology-enabled enterprise transformation? The cloud adoption strategy realisation requires concrete g...
