An Information Model for Landscape Management - Discussing Temporality Aspects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Planning, managing, and maintaining the evolution of the application landscape is a focal point of enterprise architecture (EA) management. Whereas, planning the evolution of business support provided by the business applications is understood as one challenge to be addressed in landscape management, another challenge arises in the context of traceability of management decisions, which determine the EA projects actually changing the application landscape. This paper discusses the requirements regarding support for landscape management as risen by practitioners from industry. These requirements were gathered in an extensive survey during which the tool support for EA management was analyzed. Thereby, a lack of support for this management discipline was discovered, which is caused by the way, application landscapes are modeled in tools as well as in EA approaches from literature. We subsequently discuss how to incorporate these requirements into an information model, taking into account related modeling techniques from nearby disciplines.

متن کاملConstructing an Information Model for Application Landscape Management
The managed evolution of the application landscape is commonly regarded a focal point of enterprise architecture (EA) management. Therein, aspects of future planning and historization apply, for which no generally accepted information model yet exists. This paper addresses this challenge by identifying requirements regarding an information model for temporal application landscape management fro...
