Adaptive Enterprise Architecture Modelling
Asif Qumer Gill, M. Atif Qureshi · Journal of Software · 2015
Agile or adaptive enterprise architecture driven software development approach requires a modelling standard to describe the existing and to-be developed artifacts both at the high enterprise level and low, detailed level.However, a single modelling standard may not be used off-the-shelf to fully support the modelling needs of an adaptive enterprise architecture driven software development needs.The modelling standards need to be systematically analyzed and integrated for a particular modelling context.This paper reviews two well-known modeling standards ArchiMate and BPMN by using the interoperability research framework.Based on the syntax, semantics and structural analysis of these two modelling standards' metamodels, it proposes a hybrid adaptive enterprise architecture modelling approach for describing and analysing the artifacts both at the high enterprise level and low, detailed level for a particular context.This paper has both theoretical and practical implications for researchers and practitioners pursuing to integrate various modelling standards.
