A Meta-language for EA Information Modeling - State-of-the-Art and Requirements Elicitation

چکیده
Enterprise architecture (EA) management has not only recently gained importance as means to support enterprises in adapting to a changing market environment and in seizing new business opportunities. This twofold role of EA management in transforming enterprises is connected to describing the current state as well as future states of the EA. Although different information models for the description of these states have yet been proposed in literature, no ’standard’ information model exists, and the plurality advocates for the idea that such models are enterprise-specific design artifacts. In this paper, we explore the fundamentals of EA information modeling, namely the meta-languages underlying today’s models, and analyze their diversity. Based on the analysis, we elicit requirements for a ”unifying” meta-language. By showing that multi-purpose modeling facilities, as the OMG’s UML, fail to fully satisfy these requirements, we establish a future field of research – a meta-language for EA information modeling.

Enterprise Knowledge Based Software Requirements Elicitation
One of the ways to capture enterprise knowledge is Enterprise Architecture (EA). EA allows indentifying the majority of software “to-be” requirements for information systems (IS) engineering. However, the transition between enterprise architecture model and IT resource design still lacks a clear approach and tools for implementing it in practice. The paper presents an approach for the enterpris...
متن کاملElicitation, Recast, and Meta-Linguistic Feedback in Form-Focused Exchanges: Effects of Feedback Modality on Multimedia Grammar Instruction
This research explores the effects of three computer-mediated feedback modalities, that is, elicitation, recast, and meta-linguistics, on the learning of English participial, gerund, and infinitival phrases among Iranian intermediate-level EFL learners. The overriding focus of the present study was to investigate whether different types of feedback given through form-focused computer-human exch...
متن کاملCapability-oriented architectural analysis method based on fuzzy description logic
A number of problems may arise from architectural requirements modeling, including alignment of it with business strategy, model integration and handling the uncertain and vague information. The paper introduces a method for modeling architectural requirements in a way of ontology-based and capabilityoriented requirements elicitation. The requirements can be modeled within a three-layer framewo...
متن کاملA Domain Ontology Building Process for Guiding Requirements Elicitation
In Requirements Management, ontologies are used to reconcile gaps in the knowledge and common understanding among stakeholders during requirement elicitation, and therefore significantly improve the quality of the elicited requirements. However, a precondition of state-of-the-art ontology approaches for requirements elicitation is an existing domain ontology. While this is not a trivial precond...
متن کاملA Hybrid Meta-heuristic Approach to Cope with State Space Explosion in Model Checking Technique for Deadlock Freeness
Model checking is an automatic technique for software verification through which all reachable states are generated from an initial state to finding errors and desirable patterns. In the model checking approach, the behavior and structure of system should be modeled. Graph transformation system is a graphical formal modeling language to specify and model the system. However, modeling of large s...
