Design of complex architectures using a three dimension approach : the crosswork case
R.E. Seguel Pérez, Paul Grefen, Rik Eshuis · 2010
In this paper, we present a three dimensional design approach of complex information systems architectures. Key element of this approach is the model transformation cube, which consists of three dimensions along which architecture models can be positioned. Industry architecture frameworks to guide the architecture design process can be related to these three dimensions. We show this approach with the CrossWork case study, in which the architecture of an advanced business process management system is designed. This system supports creation and operation of process-oriented instant virtual enterprises, using agent-based and service-oriented information technology.
