The article A Wiki-based Approach to Enterprise Architecture Documentation and Analysis has been accepted for publication and presentation at the 17th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2009). In this article, the author team (S.Buckl, F.Matthes, C.Neubert, and C.M.Schweda) discuss how wiki-systems can be used to document the architecture of complex systems. Thereby, especially means as tagging and ways to introduce semi-structured data are discussed. The documentation technique is further illustrated at the application example of enterprise architecture.

The article Constructing an Information Model for Application Landscape Management has been accepted for publication and presentation at the forum of the 21st International Conference on Advanced Information Systems (CAISE) 2009. In this article, the author team (S.Buckl, A.Ernst, F.Matthes, C.M.Schweda) elaborates on the role of projects a the executors of organizational change. During the analysis of the state-of-the-art in this field, the article shows common drawbacks of the current approaches. Contrasting, an approach based on temporal patterns for object-oriented modeling is presented.

The closely related article An Information Model Capturing the Managed Evoluation of Application Landscape of the same author team has been accepted for publication and presentation at the 5th International Workshop on Cooperation & Interoperability - Architecture & Ontology (CIAO!) 2009. In this article, the concepts as presented in the corresponding CAISE Forum article are further extended to be applicable on business-related concepts in the context of application landscapes.

Sabine Buckl will give a presentation on Enterprise Architecture Management Patterns for sustainable application landscapes at the "1. Workshop für langlebige und zukunftsfähige Softwaresysteme" in Kaiserslautern.

The article An Information Model for Managed Application Landscape Evolution has been accepted in the Journal of Enterprise Architecture. In the article, the author team (S. Buckl, A.M. Ernst, F.Matthes, and C.M.Schweda) discusses the state of the art in modeling application landscapes and planning their evolution. From this discussion, common problems of the current approaches are derived, and an information model incorporating the requirements is proposed.

The chair for informatics 19 is conducting the workshop Patterns in Enterprise Architecture Management (PEAM 2009) (Monday 2009-03-02) and the tutorial IT-Steuerung mit Unternehmensarchitektur (Tuesday 2009-03-03) as two of the events of the Software Engineering 2009 conference in Kaiserslautern.

More details on the workshop, the tutorial and the SE 2009 can be found in the call for participation.
