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 M&A driven IT transformation - Empirical findings from a series of expert interviews in the German banking industry has been accepted for publication at the Wirtschaftsinformatik 2011 (WI2011). In the document the author team (Andreas Freitag, Florian Matthes, and Christopher Schulz) presents the key findings of 15 semi-structured interviews with experts from the German banking industry and compares the results with approaches and statements suggested by current M&A literature.
