Learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students are able to

  • understand the purpose of an enterprise architecture and an corresponding enterprise-wide system development
  • identify and assess relevant aspects of an enterprise architecture
  • select appropriate modeling concepts to describe an enterprise architecture
  • apply corresponding concepts and methods in order to describe an enterprise architecture by means of appropriate models

Subject of course

1. Introduction

  • Short discussion of what “EA might be”

  • Samples of EA artefacts

  • Structure of this course

2. ArchiMate:

  • Background

  • Overview of the language + ArchiSurance case

  • Business Layer + ArchiSurance case + exercise

Teaching methods

In the course, the theoretical concepts will be presented in lectures on the differnt thematic blocks. After each thematic block, the presented concepts will be used by the students to work on small example tasks during the course units. The solutions are presented by the students and the advantages and disadvantages of the solutions are discussed with the auditorium. After the lectures, each individual student has to solve an overall task that covers all aspects of an enterprise architecture. Finally, the students also receive feedback on their solution.

Examination modalities

Student work in small groups on smaller examples during the course and will present their solutions.

After the lectures the students will receive an assignment. Each student has to work on his/her own on this assignment to describe a full enterprise architecture on a specific case by means of all the modeling concepts introduced in the course.
