Enterprise Architecture (EA) has undergone many changes since the IT has found its way into enterprises. At the moment the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is being hyped but has also gained some importance. Implementing SOA can have many implications for an enterprise, depending on how visionary the implemented architecture is. This paper provides the description of an enterprise architectu...

In today's competitive environment, enterprise business has to adapt the changes driven by the market in order to achieve targeted goals. Information systems are used to manage the enterprise business, and thus adaptation at information system level is very important. It raises the need for architectures and mechanisms that support such adaptation at finer granularity (process activity level). ...

Service-oriented systems engineering (SoSE) counts its two-decade history. Nowadays it is a way of developing and deploying applications as well as the whole enterprise systems. Service-oriented requirements engineering (SoRE) as an integral part of SoSE and as a new requirements engineering subdiscipline faces a number of different kinds of challenges. The early SoRE approaches were derived fr...

The introduction of service-oriented architectures (SOA) in the enterprise context promises many advantages. For example, by composing existing services new capabilities can be provided quickly allowing a fast and agile reaction to changing market conditions. In order to support companies in a successful adoption of SOA, service-orientation must be integrated in their enterprise architecture. M...

SOAMMI a new framework for evaluating capabilities for change of enterprise and service-oriented software architectures is introduced. Current approaches for assessing maturity of software architectures are intuitively developed, having sparse metamodel foundation and being hardly validated. This is a real problem because enterprise and software architects should know what the successful path f...

This paper presents an approach to using model-generated workplaces (MGWP) in tandem with service-oriented architectures in order to meet interoperability needs in a corporate environment. More specifically, the interoperability study and research undertaken is based on a use case scenario related to the process of product portfolio management (PPM) in a large enterprise of the Telecommunicatio...
