Adapting Enterprise Architecture for eScience

Abstract

Enterprise Architecture thinking and techniques, like disciplined project management, translate well into the eScience domain - both in decomposing the problem to be solved and maintaining an optimal solution path. This holds true across the many perspectives that constitute eScience: discipline leaders, governments, institutions, research groups and investigators. We apply this thinking to the emerging EcoCloud which is representative of the complex, national, multi-stakeholder and collaborative e-science infrastructure projects currently being implemented within Australia.
