Enterprise Architecture : A Perspective on How Far We Have Come, and Directions for the Future
2019
Enterprise Architecture (EA) appears to retain the attention of both practitioners and researchers, as the technological complexity of organizations grows. Several researchers have noted that research on EA has been diversifying over time, leading to inconsistent use of terminologies. Further, the benefit claims and other results, rather frequently, are not based on empirical evidence. These shortfalls in research on EA impede EA from maturing as a discipline and from demonstrating its benefit claims. Although there are reasons to believe that the research on EA has progressed, the extent of the progress and the directions for future research are not evident. This study draws on a meta-revi…
Towards a Contingency Framework for Engineering an Enterprise Architecture Planning Method
2007
Enterprise architecture (EA) has a key role in managing and relating business strategies and processes, information systems, and IC technologies. EA planning devises an EA plan with development steps to make necessary enhancements to the current state of the affairs in EA. Accomplishing EA planning in a systematic and efficient manner requires the availability of frameworks and methods suitable to the situation at hand. The selection and adaptation of these methodical artifacts for the use of EA planning is often quite challenging in practice. We argue that the contingency approach can help in these activities of method engineering (ME), and present a contingency framework (named here EACon…
Technology Architecture as a Driver for Business Cooperation: Case Study - Public Sector Cooperation in Finland
2019
The current premise in the enterprise architecture (EA) literature is that business architecture defines all other EA architecture layers; information architecture, information systems architecture, and technology architecture. In this paper, we will study the ICT-cooperation between eight small and mid-sized municipalities and cities in Southern Finland. Our case demonstrates that the ICT-cooperation is possible without business cooperation and that ICT-cooperation can be a driver for future business cooperation. The findings challenge the current premise of the guiding force of the business architecture and encourage organisations’ ICT-functions to seek daringly cooperation with other org…
Systems Approaches in the Enterprise Architecture Field of Research: A Systematic Literature Review
2018
This study explores the use of the systems approaches (systems thinking and systems theories) as the theoretical underpinnings for Enterprise Architecture (EA) research. Both the academic and the practitioner communities have maintained an interest in EA due to its potential benefits, promising for the recent technological and business advances. EA as a research area is, however, characterized by diversified views depicted in different definitions of the concept, and no acknowledged common theoretical foundation. A number of prior studies have noticed this gap in the EA field of research, and called for a strengthening of the theory of EA. Variegated systems approaches have been suggested a…
Opposizioni: Il Memoriale Italiano ad Auschwitz, «Oppositions» e la nascita della Scuola di NY.
2015
La presente ricerca si è svolta in tre fasi distinte. Un primo biennio tra Milano, l’Università degli Studi di Palermo e sopralluoghi presso l’ex campo di concentramento di Auschwitz, centrando le attenzioni sul tema del Memoriale italiano. A questa prima fase è seguito un semestre di ricerche presso l’Universidad Politecnica de Madrid in cui sono state svolte le prime ricerche sull’IAUs (Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies, 1968-1985) e «Oppositions» (1973-1985), sopratutto per quanto concerne le relazioni fra Spagna, Tendenza italiana e Stati Uniti. La ricerca dottorale si è conclusa a New York, durante un anno e mezzo, sotto la co-tutela del professor Kenneth Frampton, nel quadr…
Housing estates in the Baltic countries: the legacy of central planning in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
2019
Nuo 1960 iki 1990 metų Europos gyventojų skaičius nuolat augo, todėl buvo pradėta masinė daugiabučių statyba. Daugiabučiai gyvenamieji namai sudaro reikšmingą bendrojo būsto fondo dalį Vidurio ir Rytų Europoje. Trijose Baltijos šalių sostinėse – Vilniuje, Rygoje ir Taline – 2011 metų duomenimis 58–75% gyventojų buvo įsikūrę dideliuose daugiabučių kvartaluose. Knygos tikslas – pateikti išsamią daugiabučių paveldo apžvalgą. Straipsnių rinkinyje didelis dėmesys skiriamas tokio būsto tipo susiformavimui, iššūkiams ir ateities perspektyvoms. Knyga pateikia naują šios specifines statinių rūšies tipologiją, susijusią su sovietmečio palikimo kompleksiškumu. Įžangoje apžvelgiamos pagrindinės šešiose…
