This presentation focuses on the advantages of combining ArchiMate and BPMN industry standards to develop a solid understanding of an organisation’s business architecture. We create a business metamodel, high level architecture viewpoints and detailed business process diagrams that allow decision makers to align their business with its strategic objectives and understand the impact of change. Models can be created in Enterprise Architect and then shared with a wide stakeholder audience using Prolaborate
GoJ are new to EA and wish to model their Enterprise Architecture but were beginners to EA. Dunstan Thomas Consulting (DTC) were approached to provide consultancy to get GoJ started and become as self- sufficient as possible. This presentation will describe the approach used by DTC to ascertain the exact requirements for GoJ and to provide a Meta Model (MDG)based upon ArchiMate and a Model-Based Add-in for element name checking. During the presentation, details of the MDG and the Model Based Add-in will be presented including model demonstrations, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of the MDG and Model based Add-in
In this talk, we will explore the integration of the NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) version 4 with the powerful modeling capabilities of Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. NAF v4 provides a structured methodology for developing and maintaining complex architectures within defense and security sectors, ensuring alignment with NATO's strategic goals and operational needs. This presentation gives an overview of NAFv4 principles, structure and importance of architectural frameworks in defense planning and operations. You will see how to get started and how Enterprise Architect supports using NAFv4.
Overall, versioning and variant handling are indispensable in the engineering of complex systems in order to ensure quality, efficiency and traceability and to effectively overcome the challenges of complexity and diversity. While “Version Control” is essential for the long-term maintenance and evolution of a system, “Variant Handling” allows existing versions of a system to be further developed or updated without compromising the integrity of other variants. In this presentation, we will demonstrate how a systems model can be described with the 150% approach using pure::variants (by pure systems/PTC) constraints. Through a variant transformation, 100% EA models are generated. These models are managed in Git Feature Branches with the help of LemonTree, as the “diff & merge” tool for those models. With the established approach of change management and pull requests, the model is maintained in variant-feature branches while the further transformations keep the variants up to date.
Historically, users have leveraged this functionality to automate various processes, such as importing lists of applications from a CMDB or integrating Excel lists maintained by non-modellers. I will showcase one of the most inventive approaches developed to date. This approach involves the re-implementation of the CSV Import/Export functionality by configuring Enterprise Architect to operate seamlessly with MS SQL Server. By executing this process within a single transaction, we achieve the highest possible performance while harnessing the powerful configuration capabilities of Enterprise Architect.
How do you know if your architecture is complete, correct and consistent? You've picked a modeling language and defined modeling standards, but quality comes from all of your architects following these standards and modeling in a consistent way. IncQuery Model Validator provides a rules based engine for validating your models for completeness and consistency to ensure your architecture content is ready to be consumed by downstream processes. Chris Armstrong from APG will be discussing how model validation fits into the overall model governance picture and Dr. Istvan Rath will demonstrate how Model Validator can be used to provide objective assessment of EA model quality.
Stop copying and pasting diagrams and instead embed live content into the tools that your teams use everyday! The value of architecture to your organization isn't in how they are produced, but rather how they are consumed by the various stakeholders within your organization. EA provides a collaborative modeling environment for your architects, Prolaborate provides a collaboration environment for stakeholders. This session will demonstrate how you can take your live EA models and embed them into the tools that project teams use for delivery: SharePoint, Microsoft Teams and Confluence.
With the proliferation of packaged software (COTs and SaaS), API integrations have become a primary concern for IT architects. This is where engineers are writing code and this is where data analysts need to understand data flowing between systems. Chris Armstrong will be discussing and demonstrating how to use the Rest API addin for EA to generate models from Swagger files and model APIs in a way that they can not only be analyzed but also implemented effectively.
The absence of an integrated approach to implementing SE Focus Areas is delaying the full realization of Digital Transformation, which is crucial for providing the necessary guidance, skills, and training for a robust and disciplined approach to weapon systems acquisition. Enhancing your MBSE requirements management maturity by integrating Jama on Traceable MBSE™ with Sparx EA modeling capabilities helps to resolve delays, confusion, and challenges related to achieving comprehensive traceability. This session will showcase how the combined use of Jama and Sparx can effectively address contemporary MBSE challenges.
Banking Industry is going through fundamental transformation and continues to evolve in unprecedented ways. Architects designing the future banks need to adopt robust frameworks and models that ensure efficiency, resilience, standardization, and adaptability. BIAN, or Banking Industry Architecture Network, provide a banking architecture framework that aims to standardize and streamline the IT infrastructure in the banking industry, allowing for seamless integration, reduced complexity, and enhanced efficiency.
Gain insight into how to model decisions using the Decision Model and Notation language and unify your business and technology teams. You will learn how to create pure business decision models using diagrams and tables, simplify Business Process diagrams, run what-if scenarios with simulations, and create executable code. The session is suitable for strategists, business modelers, and technologists and is guaranteed to change the way you think about business decisions forever.
Overview of an approach for moving to an architecture repository driven approach for creating enterprise architectures. This approach gives a number of step by step guides how to migrate from documents to an architecture repository in Sparx Enterprise Architect. In this session I will demonstrate a solution architecture for introducing a new architecture process based on a model created in Sparx Enterprise Architecture. This approach is practically applied in various architecture teams. This solution is an example of how to set up architectural content for a solution. Furthermore it demonstrates a number of building blocks and patterns that can be applied. The content of this sample architecture is based on ArchiMate as modelling language and Togaf as framework.
The idea of “1Repo“ is to deliver a market solution related to the current and real needs of information management. I choose Sparx Systems as a solution because of its flexibility and huge community. Also important is the issue of available third-party add-ons, which significantly increase the environment's capabilities. From many implementations of methodologies and the tools behind them (mainly Sparx Systems), one common denominator emerges - the success of implementing such a new environment largely depends on the readiness of a given organization to incur costs and awareness of the potential profits resulting from the implementation's outcomes.
Join Bob for an insightful webinar on the C4 Model Accelerator, designed to help you start your architecture journey swiftly and accurately. This session will delve into the comprehensive framework enabling you to quickly describe your system in accordance with Simon Brown's C4 model approach. Discover how to leverage Prolaborate's powerful visualization capabilities to present data in a contextual manner, enhancing clarity for model readers and reviewers. Learn to efficiently create Context, Container, Component, and Class diagrams to ensure robust system architecture documentation and communication.
The development of an AI-driven Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodology within a robust ecosystem that bridges industry and academia - this is the Penta Project ECOMAI (Ecological Motor Control and Predictive Maintenance with AI). This research project is founded by the European Union under the umbrella of the European Chips Act. Its goal is to address critical challenges such as energy efficiency and skill shortages in the semiconductor market. With members of the ECOMAI consortium, we explore the MBSE methodology, the barriers to adopt and the benefits of implementing. Features like call graph visualization are essential for the understanding, the modelling language essential for broad adoption. The ECOMAI design kit for AI-enhanced drive systems will orchestrate hard- and software and will include the ECOMOD Modelling Toolbox. In this talk, we will give you an insight of this ongoing development.
At the DCSA new data interchange standards are core business. The standards enable parties involved in cargo shipment by means of containers to make interoperable applications. Achieving a standard can be a monumental task in this industry so a step-by-step approach, lots of design interaction and high quality publication are required. In this talk this will be presented with actual examples.
