Abstract

Increasingly, organisations establish what is called an enterprise architecture. The enterprise architecture combines and relates all architectures describing some aspect of the organization, such as the business process architecture, the information architecture, and the application architecture. It is a blueprint of the organisation, which serves as a starting point for analysis, design and decision making. Viewpoints define abstractions on the set of models representing the enterprise architecture, each aimed at a particular type of stakeholder and addressing a particular set of concerns. The use of viewpoints is widely advocated for managing the inherent complexity in enterprise architecture. Viewpoints can both be used to view certain aspects in isolation, and for relating two or more aspects. However, in order to make such a viewpoint-oriented approach practically feasible, architects require a tool environment, which supports the definition, generation, editing and management of architectural views. Moreover, such an environment should work in concert with existing domain-specific modelling tools. We present the design of such a tool environment for viewpoint-oriented enterprise architecture.
支持面向视图的企业架构
越来越多的组织建立了所谓的企业架构。企业体系结构结合并关联了描述组织某些方面的所有体系结构,例如业务流程体系结构、信息体系结构和应用程序体系结构。它是组织的蓝图,是分析、设计和决策的起点。视点定义了代表企业架构的一组模型上的抽象,每个模型都针对一种特定类型的涉众,并处理一组特定的关注点。人们广泛提倡使用视点来管理企业架构中固有的复杂性。视点既可用于孤立地观察某些方面,也可用于将两个或多个方面联系起来。然而,为了使这种面向视点的方法实际可行,架构师需要一个工具环境,它支持架构视图的定义、生成、编辑和管理。此外,这样的环境应该与现有的特定于领域的建模工具协同工作。我们为面向观点的企业架构设计了这样一个工具环境。
