The 10th International Workshop on Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research - TEAR 2015

摘要

Over the past two decades, Enterprise Architecture (EA) has been established as a scientific discipline and a practical tool to manage the increasing complexity of modern enterprises. At the heart of this endeavor is the realization that enterprise decision-makers require not only detailed models of specifics, but also overarching models of the grand scheme of things. As such, EA does not aim to replace IT architecture, software architecture, systems architecture, or business architecture, but rather to complement them and to describe the bigger picture. This is only becoming more important in today's fast-paced business landscape, where enterprises quickly need to adapt to rapid market changes. Managing change, making sure that the introduction of new business processes and technology does not have unforeseen adverse affects throughout the enterprise, is thus a key priority for EA.
