  • Business Reference Model of the Local Self-Government That Uses Process Management
    Business reference model of the local self-government that uses process management Markéta Zimmermannová Department of Information Technologies, Faculty of Informatics and Statistics, University of Economics, Prague, Czech Republic [email protected] Abstract. The objective of this paper is a brief introduction in the doctoral thesis of the author. The content of the thesis is the design of the structure for efficient management of the public administration. The author explores the options, how to combine the Enterprise Architecture elements with the business process management methodology MMABP. The output is the design of the optimal structure of the public administration office at the business level – Business reference model. Keywords: enterprise architecture, business process model, business reference model, public administration. 1 Introduction The subject of the doctoral thesis regards the Business process management and the Enterprise Architecture and the options of their application in the local self-government in the Czech Republic. In comparison with the private sector, the local self-government (and public administration in general) has a much broader set of competences. This also generates much complicated requirements on the process, functional, organizational and technological structure of the local self-government bodies. Implementation of such a structure can however be simplified by a certain form of business process standardization and by using of the Enterprise Architecture elements. The doctoral thesis therefore explores and proposes the options for usage of the process management (represented by MMABP methodology) based on the broader exploration of the very basis that the local self-government stands on and its combination with the Enterprise Architecture.

  • Open Issues on Information System Architecture Research Domain: the Vision
    OPEN ISSUES ON INFORMATION SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DOMAIN: THE VISION André Vasconcelos CEO - Centro de Engenharia Organizacional, INESC, Lisboa, Portugal Email: [email protected] Carla Marques Pereira EST-IPCB, Av. do Empresário, Castelo Branco, Portugal Email: [email protected] Pedro Sousa, José Tribolet CEO - Centro de Engenharia Organizacional, INESC, Lisboa, Portugal Email: [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Information System Architecture (ISA), ISA Evaluation, Business/System Alignment, Enterprise Information System, CEO Framework. Abstract: Currently organizations, pushed by several business and technological changes, are more concern about Information systems (IS) than ever. Though organizations usually still face each IS as a separately technological issue with slight relations with business domain. This paper discusses the importance of the Information System Architecture (ISA) as the tool for ensuring a global view on IS and for explicitly assessing alignment between technology and business processes and strategies. In this paper, considering the numerous topics, technologies and buzzwords surrounding ISA domain, we identify the major ISA open issues, namely: ISA Modelling, ISA Methodology, ISA Evaluation, IS Architectural Styles and Patterns, and IS/Business Alignment. We also present our advances in addressing some of these issues, by proposing an approach for ISA evaluation and IS/Business Alignment measure. This approach is supported on an ISA modelling framework and provides several indicators and measures for ISA evaluation. This approach is applied to an IS health care project evaluation. 1 INTRODUCTION enterprise knowledge handling. These new business needs have being forcing organizations to redesign their strategies, reengineering their business During the last decade several important processes and positioned efficient information technological progresses have been accomplished in handling in every organization agenda.

  • The Business Reference Model Version 1.O
    THE BUSINESS REFERENCE MODEL VERSION 1.O A Foundation for Government-wide Improvement INTRODUCTION E-Government is one of the five key components of the President’s Management Agenda because of its importance in facilitating a more responsive and effective Government. To achieve the President’s objectives, the federal government must derive more productivity from its IT spending, currently more than $50 billion. A cornerstone to success is the development of a Federal enterprise architecture that enables agencies to derive maximum benefit from applying IT to their missions. In February 2002, I directed the creation of a Federal Enterprise Architecture Program Management Office to begin developing a comprehensive, business-driven blueprint for modernizing the Federal government. The Federal EA will serve to inform executive-level decision-making and allow for increased collaboration and resource sharing across agencies. I am pleased to unveil today the foundational layer of the Federal Enterprise Architecture – the Business Reference Model (version 1.0). The Model provides an integrated view of the Federal Government’s business, detailing activities that agencies perform to achieve each mission and function. With this foundation, government executives can look strategically at Federal business operations and understand the gaps, overlaps, and opportunities. The Business Reference Model provides OMB and the Agencies with an invaluable new tool for improving the business of government – it is a quantum leap forward for the Federal Government. The Federal Enterprise Architecture is being constructed through a series of “reference models” designed to facilitate cross-agency analysis and improvement. The Business Reference Model serves as the foundation for the other reference models that will be published in the future – the Performance Reference Model, Data Reference Model, Application-Capability Reference Model, and the Technical Reference Model.

  • Comprehensive Measurement Framework for Enterprise Architectures
    International Journal of Computer Science & Information Technology (IJCSIT) Vol 3, No 4, August 2011 COMPREHENSIVE MEASUREMENT FRAMEWORK FOR ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURES Mahesh R. Dube 1 and Shantanu K. Dixit 2 1Department of Computer Engineering, VIT, Pune, India [email protected] 2Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, WIT, Solapur, India [email protected] ABSTRACT Enterprise Architecture defines the overall form and function of systems across an enterprise involving the stakeholders and providing a framework, standards and guidelines for project-specific architectures. Project-specific Architecture defines the form and function of the systems in a project or program, within the context of the enterprise as a whole with broad scope and business alignments. Application-specific Architecture defines the form and function of the applications that will be developed to realize functionality of the system with narrow scope and technical alignments. Because of the magnitude and complexity of any enterprise integration project, a major engineering and operations planning effort must be accomplished prior to any actual integration work. As the needs and the requirements vary depending on their volume, the entire enterprise problem can be broken into chunks of manageable pieces. These pieces can be implemented and tested individually with high integration effort. Therefore it becomes essential to analyze the economic and technical feasibility of realizable enterprise solution. It is difficult to migrate from one technological and business aspect to other as the enterprise evolves. The existing process models in system engineering emphasize on life-cycle management and low-level activity coordination with milestone verification. Many organizations are developing enterprise architecture to provide a clear vision of how systems will support and enable their business.

    DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ENTERPRISE PERFORMANCE LIFE CYCLE FRAMEWORK <OPDIV Logo> PPPRRRAAACCCTTTIIICCCEEESSS GGGUUUIIIDDDEEE BUSINESS PROCESS MODELING Issue Date: <mm/dd/yyyy> Revision Date: <mm/dd/yyyy> Document Purpose This Practices Guide is a brief document that provides an overview describing the best practices, activities, attributes, and related templates, tools, information, and key terminology of industry-leading project management practices and their accompanying project management templates. Background The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Enterprise Performance Life Cycle (EPLC) is a framework to enhance Information Technology (IT) governance through rigorous application of sound investment and project management principles and industry’s best practices. The EPLC provides the context for the governance process and describes interdependencies between its project management, investment management, and capital planning components. The EPLC framework establishes an environment in which HHS IT investments and projects consistently achieve successful outcomes that align with Department and Operating Division goals and objectives. Modeling is initiated mainly in EPLC Requirements Analysis phase (for conceptual/logical modeling) and extends into Design phase (for physical modeling). Practice Overview Models are used to simplify complex ideas usually into a pictorial form. In an effort to identify opportunities to simplify processes and unify work across federal agencies OMB has created the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Business Process Model (BPM). HHS has expanded upon OMB’s model by further sub-dividing it into the HHS Enterprise Architecture (EA) Framework. This document provides an overview of these, and other, models and approaches to modeling. At the highest of levels, Business Process Modeling and Data Modeling are recognized as integral parts of a project’s analysis phase because efficient organization of information contributes to good system design and development.

  • Enterprise Architecture Reference Modeling in OWL/RDF
    Enterprise Architecture Reference Modeling in OWL/RDF Dean Allemang, Irene Polikoff, and Ralph Hodgson TopQuadrant Inc, 141 Howard Drive, Beaver Falls, PA {dallemang, irene, ralph}@topquadrant.com Abstract. This paper describes the design of and the deployment options for the Federal Enterprise Architecture Reference Model Ontology (FEA-RMO). The goal of any reference model is to provide a basis or starting point for some de- sign process. While this is a laudable goal, it poses an immediate problem for representation; how can a model be represented in such a way that it can be ex- tended in certain ways (for application to a particular problem), but not without regard to the advice that it gives? Reference models are usually expressed in natural language. At their best, such models provide a starting point for design- ers, and a checklist for their designs, to see that they conform to industry best practices. At worst, reference models expressed in natural language become a source of busy work; designers do not use the models during the design process, instead they spend time after the fact writing up an explanation of how and why they are compliant with the reference framework they've never seriously con- sidered. In this paper, we have used Semantic Web technologies (in particular, RDF and OWL) to represent a reference mode for enterprise architecture in the US government. The content of the model comes from the recent Federal En- terprise Architecture Reference Model effort. We use the capability of RDF to distribute structured information to allow the reference model to be extended (as intended in its design).

  • E-Business Reference Modelling Framework for Smes: an Enterprise Architecture Based Approach
    e-Business Reference Modelling Framework for SMEs: An Enterprise Architecture based Approach Magido Mascate a and André Vasconcelos b INESC-ID, Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Avenida Rovisco Pais, 1, 1049-001 Lisboa, Portugal Keywords: Enterprise Architecture, e-Business Reference Model, Digital Strategy, SME, e-Business Architecture. Abstract: Through the digital industry and economy, we find countless researches providing conceptual models aiming to depict digital technology adoption by different businesses. However, according to existing studies, we found that SMEs lack an e-business reference modelling framework that supports the design and adoption of digital-enabled business models. Therefore, we exploit an adaptive and technology-independent approach to propose an EA-based e-business reference modelling framework for SMEs in diverse business contexts. Our framework comprises mainly of three interrelated building blocks, starting with the 1) situational analysis to determine the motivating factors for change and barriers of the business environment; followed by SMEs profiling. The SMEs profiling embodies the 2) SMEs’ readiness depiction based on the existence of digital strategy, digital-value drivers’ catalogue, and business models proposals; and culminates with the 3) description of the implementation based on e-business architecture. In addition, a fourth building block is incorporated into the framework for e-Business solutions architecture, selection, and deployment into the current SMEs' business context. In this study, we assume a practical approach, proposing and demonstrating the application of tools that support the conception of an SMEs´ e-business in the business context in all the different facets of our framework. 1 INTRODUCTION .
