Enterprise Architecting (EA) is the process of developing an enterprise
Information Technology architecture - both its description and its
implementation. An EA description focuses on a holistic and integrated
view of the why, where, and who uses IT systems and how and what they
are used for within an organization. An enterprise architect (and
his/her team) develops the strategy and enables the decisions for
designing, developing, and deploying IT systems to support the business
operations as well as to assess, select, and integrate the technology
into the organization's infrastructure. Alignment between business and
IT has remained one of the top three issues for CIOs and IS managers for
several years as reported by CIO magazine.
An EA implementation focuses on remediating, renovating, or replacing IT
systems in compliance with the EA description to achieve the proposed
benefits. EA is central to the execution of business strategies.
Organizations vary in their degree of EA maturity. While the research
literature has devoted substantial attention to the development of
effective EA frameworks and the alignment of business and IT, there is
very little empirical evidence about the organizational benefits of EA.
For example, we know very little about which processes, approaches or
coordination practices lead to an effective architecting effort or
whether this effort leads to measurable organizational benefits.
Consequently, we are soliciting paper submissions that: advance our
knowledge of EA; help us learn about effective processes and approaches
to effectively manage the EA; and begin to identify ways to measure the
organizational benefits derived from EA. Papers will be solicited in
several areas, including, but not limited to the following:
* Architecting Processes, Methodologies and Practices
* Architectural Frameworks and Theory
* Tools and Techniques Supporting Architecting
* Service-Oriented Architectures (including Web Services)
* EA and Business Alignment
* Addressing EA Challenges
* Integration of EA with IT Governance and SOA
* Surveys and Case Studies
* EA and Organizational Success
