Some process patterns for enterprise architecture management

Abstract

The purpose of EAM patterns can be seen to supplement existing EAM frameworks, which often only provide generic approaches in implementing, maintaining, and analysing an Enterprise Architecture. This is done by providing additional concepts, tailorable to the EAM problems at hand. This paper extends the existing EAM patterns approach of the Technical University of Munich by defining a concept for EAM process patterns. Some EAM process patterns are presented in detail.
