Previous: Aims
- Continue the evaluation of enterprise reference architecture
proposals as they become available, and solicit additional proposals
(life-cycle architectures, methodologies).
- Include into this evaluation the physical and functional
description architectures of information systems (integration
infrastructure architectures), as well as program architectures
for complete enterprise life-cycle development and management.
- Develop and evaluate specifications and recommended manifestations
for both of the above classes of enterprise reference architecture.
Such specification would include, for each phase of the enterprise
life-cycle, the requisite
- Architectural framework;
- Enterprise modelling tools and languages (language
specifications, ontological theories, computer-aided
enterprise engineering tools);
- Methodology for use (enterprise engineering methodology)
- Generic building blocks and models (e.g. of intra- and inter-
enterprise integration, agent-based integration, information
infrastructure, organisational models, self-similar
structures, and reusable industry-specific models).
The multi-disciplinary perspective of WG5.12 is expressed in
the strategy of developing liaisons and co-sponsoring activities
with other relevant Working Groups and Technical Committees of
IFIP and other organisations that are conducting research and
development in enterprise integration technology.
