Abstract

Enterprise architecture (EA) management supports transformation path planning to facilitate the change from the current to the target architecture. We create parts of these transformation paths automatically using the information from current and target business support maps. Restrictions on the business support maps, i.e. areas which shall remain stable and which shall be transformed, are modeled by an enterprise architect to allow for a goal oriented transformation path generation. The transformation paths serve as project proposals for the project portfolio management. Necessary changes to the EA are prioritized and estimated. Our solution uses a graph transformation based approach to allow for an interactive creation of possible transformation paths. The transformation paths are the state transitions of a graph transition system, which we create from an EA model. We weigh the effort of each transformation according cost, time and risk.
