Evaluation of Enterprise IT Architecture Solutions – How can an ICT consultant tell what is best for you?
2003
ICT has become a key business enabler and a competitive factor for enterprises. Enterprise architecture, developed by ICT consultants and ICT end-user organizations, is emerging as the management tool for intertwined business and IT planning. For managerial decisions, there is a need to evaluate the business value of architecture development results, but only a few models for this have so far been presented. Here we present the V-model for EA testing and validation that marks the evaluation points in EA management, and guides which evaluation tools could be used. peerReviewed
I vari modi del DNA di “parlare” ai viventi fra ciò che già è noto e nuove scoperte
2018
A sessant’anni da quando Francis Crick enunciò il “dogma centrale della biologia molecolare” molte scoperte e nuove frontiere si sono avvicendate sulla questione “funzionale” di un genoma, cioè di come un DNA “parla” ai viventi. Oggi è abbastanza noto come un genoma “è”, ed occuparsi solo di questa questione strutturale ormai è sicuramente molto riduttivo, almeno sicuramente per quello umano. È invece il goal standard di questi anni scoprire come e quando un genoma si esprime, come funzio-nalmente traduce il suo messaggio rendendo questo visibile nei fe-notipi dei viventi, a prescindere dalla sua sequenza primaria di basi azotate. Ne consegue che il codice genetico, ancora valido e quasi un…
Dire estetica, fare estetica con l'architettura
2013
Il saggio affronta il tema del'"estetica realizzata" focalizzandosi sulla maniera peculiare del "fare estetica" nel caso specifico dell'architettura. "Frammenti" della disciplina dell'estetica ricorrono randomicamente nel "discorso" sull'architettura: sia che si tratti di una organica trattazione teorica, sia che si tratti della didattica della progettazione architettonica sia che si tratti dell'interlocuzione tra architetto e cliente. Il progetto infatti si costruisce spesso attraverso un dialogo tra architetto "madre" e cliente "padre" (Filarete, Wright). A tal riguardo l'autore propone originalmente la definizione di progetto di architettura come "atto estetologico diffuso". Successivame…
Service-learning in the Spanish university system : a study based on deans’ perception
2019
Título, resumen y palabras clave en español e inglés Resumen basado en el de la publicación Disponible la versión en inglés La tercera misión de la universidad implica devolver a la sociedad parte de lo que de ella recibe. Este modo de entender la relación entre sociedad y universidad supone la implementación de nuevas metodologías de enseñanza-aprendizaje, en las cuales el profesorado deja de ser un mero transmisor de conocimiento y los estudiantes adquieren un papel activo y crítico en respuesta a las necesidades sociales. El aprendizaje-servicio es una estrategia metodológica que combina la formación teórica en un ámbito de conocimiento con su aplicación a través de la prestación de un s…
Enterprise Architecture Compliance: the Viewpoint of Evaluation
2008
First published in the Proceedings of the European Conference on Information Management and Evaluation (ECIME 2007), September 20-21, 2007, Montpellier, France Enterprise Architecture (EA) provides a holistic view of entire organization, including various viewpoints such as business, information, systems and technology. It is of interest for academics and practitioners alike. It has been suggested that EA is an approach for controlling the complexity and constant changes in the organization and its business environment, assisting organizations in realizing a multitude of positive business impacts. As the organization transforms from the current EA state towards the improved target state thr…
Enterprise Architecture Evaluation Components
2008
First published in the Proceedings of the 11th International HAAMAHA Conference July 9-12, 2007, Poznan, Poland Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a holistic view of an organization, including the viewpoints of business, information, systems and technology. It is stated to provide significant benefits to organizations, and is therefore of interest for both academics and practitioners. However, evaluating EA, or its benefits, is difficult. Moreover, the studies on EA evaluation are mostly inconsistent, and almost omit the planning aspect of evaluation. This study suggests the evaluation components that need to be addressed in EA evaluation planning, charted by a literature review supplemented a…
Analysis of the current State of Enterprise Architecture Evaluation Methods and Practices
2008
First published in the Proceedings of the European Conference on Information Management and Evaluation (ECIME 2007), September 20-21, 2007, Montpellier, France Today, more and more organizations adopt enterprise architecture (EA) processes to cope with the changing environment and to improve their performance and competitiveness. However, the evaluation of EA regarding its quality and benefits is rather difficult. The studies of previous research resulted in the recognition that there is no methodology for enabling the EA evaluation by considering the whole EA. Therefore, this paper presents and analyses the current state of methods and practices to evaluate EA from different viewpoints. Th…
Towards a Generic Evaluation Model for Enterprise Architecture
2008
First published in the Journal of Enterprise Architecture, Vol. 3, No. 3, 2007, pp. 9-16. Republished with the kind permission of the Journal of Enterprise Architecture During the past few years, enterprise architectures (EAs) have become one of the major interests of both business and information technology (IT) practitioners and academics. It has been suggested that EA is an approach for controlling the complexity and constant changes in the organization’s business environment. Research has mainly focused on the development and modeling of EAs, while the quality aspects of EA have only recently gained attention, especially in the form of EA maturity models. These models have been develope…
Potential Critical Success Factors for Enterprise Architecture
2008
First published in the Journal of Enterprise Architecture, Vol. 2, No. 4, 2006 pp. 29-40. Republished with the kind permission of the Journal of Enterprise Architecture During the past few years, enterprise architectures (EAs) have garnered considerable attention from both practitioners and academics in the fields of information systems and business management. It is suggested that EA is an approach for controlling the complexity and constant changes in the business environment of an organization. Research has mainly focused on the development and modeling of EA, while quality aspects of EA have gained less attention. The aim of this study is to provide insight into the critical success fac…
Movement Detection with Event-Based Cameras: Comparison with Frame-Based Cameras in Robot Object Tracking Using Powerlink Communication
2018
Event-based cameras are not common in industrial applications despite the fact that they can add multiple advantages for applications with moving objects. In comparison with frame-based cameras, the amount of generated data is very low while keeping the main information in the scene. For an industrial environment with interconnected systems, data reduction becomes very important to avoid network congestion and provide faster response time. However, the use of new sensors as event-based cameras is not common since they do not usually provide connectivity to industrial buses. This work develops a network node based on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), including data acquisition and trac…
