The article A meta-language for enterprise architecture analysis has been accepted for publication at EMMSAD2011.This article results from a joint work of KTH Stockholm and Technische Universität München. The author team (Sabine Buckl, Markus Buschle, Pontus Johnson, Florian Matthes, and Christian M. Schweda) discusses the requirements for a meta-language that supports EA analysis has to fulfill and outline how OMG's MetaObjectFacility (MOF) can be enhanced to satisfy these requirements.

The article Socio-technic Dependency and Rationale Models for the Enterprise Architecture Management Function has been accepted for publication at ONTOSE 2011. In the article the author team (Sabine Buckl, Florian Matthes, and Christian M. Schweda) take a system-perspective on the enterprise and its architecture. Therefore, they combine technical cause-effect modeling with i*-based modeling of intentional dependencies between the stakeholders and actors of certain EA parts. The resulting intertwined set of dependencies provides a basis for model-based control and governance structures.

The article A method to develop EA modeling languages using practice-proven solutions has been accepted for publication at the EEWC 2011. In the article the author team (Sabine Buckl, Florian Matthes, and Christian M. Schweda) introduce the idea of language building blocks for defining the syntax, the semantics, and the notation of EA modeling languages. These building blocks are derived from practice-proven solutions and are complemented by techniques to facilitate their consistent integration.

The article Modeling Enterprise Architecture Transformations has been accepted for publication at the IWEI 2011. In the article the author team (Sabine Buckl, Florian Matthes, Ivan Monahov, and Christian M. Schweda) discuss different EA planning perspectives, for which numerous models and modeling techniques have been developed and examined over the last few years. The paper presents ways in which the different perspectives can be modeled as add-ons for EA models and the ways they interrelate.

The article Charting the landscape of enterprise architecture management - An extensive literature analysis has been accepted for publication at the Wirtschaftsinformatik 2011 (WI2011). In the article the author team (Mariana Mykhashchuk, Sabine Buckl, Thomas Dierl, and Christian M. Schweda) provide an overview about the state of the art in EA management and the major research groups active in the area..
