Agenda • Architecture modeling: the challenge • The ArchiMate language, history, core concepts • Drivers for language development • New extensions • Outlook • Discussion
Product architecture ? Information Architecture Procesarchitecture ? ? ? Application architecture Technical architecture ? Architecture modeling: the challenge
ArchiMate • A language for describing architectures • Covers business, application and technology layers, With relations between these layers • Graphical language with formal semantics, enabling analysis and tool support • Techniques for visualization and analysis, aimed at various stakeholders • Open standard maintained by The Open Group • See www.opengroup.org/archimate or www.archimate.org
Business Application Technology ArchiMate Core Summary Information Behaviour Structure
Drivers for language development • Since ArchiMate was released: • Anumber of inconsistencies have been resolved • Some concepts have been clarified (e.g., Business Function) • Some concepts have been added (e.g. Location) • ArchiMate was designed to be extensible, making it possible to adapt the language to different settings, architecture approaches etc. Proposed extensions: • Motivation • Implementation & Migration

Gap Analysis Unintentional omission
Outlook • ArchiMate development continues to be focused on the interplay between practical relevance and academic rigor • The core is stable even though some discussions are still “open” (e.g., infrastructure function concept) • OpenGroup standardization brings (the core of) ArchiMate close to TOGAF • Extensions, also for other frameworks and methodologies, continue to be developed (e.g., Policies, Rules and Regulations) • ArchiMatetoolsupport is growing, open source options are available
