Response time on orders of customers is becoming a critical issue to achieve a competitive advantage. A major problem is a lack of strategic perspective of information systems. A need for adequate tools and methodologies to model the system structure and to define integrated requirements is a must for the manufacturing enterprises. This paper presents a study of implementing Zachman Framework Z...

1 Motivation The discipline of Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM), while becoming firmly established with global enterprises, often remains unnoticed by medium-sized enterprises. In global enterprises the role of enterprise architects has been established for years, and they are equipped by EAM tools with underlying EA frameworks such as the Zachman Framework (Zachman 1987, p. 276-292) or...

The paper presents the methodology for determining, management, simulation and optimization of the quality of an enterprise architecture based on defined by the author of two metamodels: classes and processes for quality management of this architecture. The second of them (the process metamodel) of quality management developed in BPMN has undergone simulation and optimization using ARIS Busines...

This paper describes IEC CIM architecture and demonstrates how this architecture fits into Smart Grid architectural principles: loose coupling, shallow integration and layered approach. The CIM architecture is traced back to UN/CEFACT modeling methodology, Zachman formal architectural framework and Open-EDI model to ensure reusability and repeatability of its design solutions. It maps the CIM a...

Full and accurate representation of an organizations knowledge assets, which together constitute ”organizational memory”, requires multi-perspective modelling at a number of levels of detail. We propose that the perspectives which need to be represented can be characterized as who, what, how, when, where and why knowledge; these perspectives, and necessary levels of abstraction, are captured by...
