Engineering vs. Architecture

‣ If you show the same circuit diagram to two electrical engineers they will be able to understand the diagram because- The symbols are drawn the same

way everywhere- The symbols have a well-defined

meaning (semantics)- All electrical engineers are

trained on the same set of symbols

03/30/09 3

Moreover: They are likely to build functionally equivalent

and interoperableimplementations

Enterprise Architecture

‣Many Frameworks

‣Many Views

‣Many Techniques- UML, IDEF, BPMN, RAD, EPC, PowerPoint and many, many others...

Define Your Vocabulary First

17

Define Capabilities

What is the architecture supposed to achieve?

Items:• Objectives• Features• Services

Define Resources

Which data/resources will be consumed or produced?

Items:•Nouns

Define Activities

Which processes/activities will provide the capabilities?

Items:• Verbs

Define Performers

Who/What will be involved?

Items:• Roles• Systems• Actors

Summary

‣Minimize Diagram Types: Fewer primitives to learn‣Standardize Patterns: Unified use of modeling language‣Define Vocabulary first: Lexicon ties model types together

‣A realistic design standard for modelers, architects, and tool vendors
