A research paper has been accepted for publication at the 11^th International Conference for Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI 2013). The paper entitled “Enterprise Architecture Documentation: Current Practices and Future Directions” reports on a survey among 140 Enterprise Architecture (EA) practitioners to analyze issues organizations face while documenting the EA and keeping the documentation up to date. The author team (Sascha Roth, Matheus Hauder, Matthias Farwick, Ruth Breu, and Florian Matthes) present results on current practices, challenges, and automation techniques for EA documentation in a descriptive manner.

In our latest survey, we analyzes to which degree EA management functions proceed in an agile manner.

Participants can win an iPad or one of several books on EA management.

A paper on Enterprise Architecture (EA) Documentation has been accepted for publication at the 46th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS).

Current research activities seek to automate the EA data collection process by integrating existing EA information sources of operative systems. However, a comprehensive analysis of possible information sources and their appropriateness for EA is not yet provided.

To build an empirical basis, the author team (Ruth Breu, Matthias Farwick, Matheus Hauder, Florian Matthes, and Sascha Roth) presents an empirical analysis of information sources for automated EA documentation endeavors. The paper includes findings of a survey conducted on the appropriateness of specific EA information sources for automation with respect to provided data types and data quality.
