Abstract. Enterprise Architecture (EA) principles are normally written in natural language which makes them informal, hard to evaluate and complicates tracing them to the actual goals of the organization. In this paper, we present a set of requirements for improving the clarity of definitions and develop a framework to formalize EA principles with a semi-formal language, namely the Goal-oriented Requirements Language (GRL). We introduce an extension of the language with the required constructs and establish modeling rules and constraints. This allows us to automatically reason about the soundness, completeness and consistency of a set of EA principles. We demonstrate our methodology with a case study from a governmental organization. Moreover, we extend an Eclipse-based tool.

“…Even though the concept of EA principles has been defined as the essential element of EA [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], the number of publications on this subject is surprisingly very limited, as outlined by previous studies [3,4,14,15]. This is particularly surprising if we compare the number to the vast body of literature related to the first part of the EA definition.…”

Abstract. Enterprise Architecture (EA), which has been approached by both academia and industry, is considered comprising not only architectural representations, but also principles guiding architecture's design and evolution. Even though the concept of EA principles has been defined as the integral part of EA, the number of publications on this subject is very limited and only a few organizations use EA principles to manage their EA endeavors. In order to critically assess the current state of research and identify research gaps in EA principles, we focus on four general aspects of theoretical contributions in IS. By applying these aspects to EA principles, we outline future research directions in EA principles nature, adoption, practices, and impact.

The challenges of the global marketplace require organizations to deploy and execute enterprisewide business process and solutions. Whether an organization is a government agency attempting to integrate its existing standalone systems and processes to provide better service to the taxpayer, or a corporation that needs to implement an end‐to‐end Internet‐based solution from ordering to inventory management to fulfillment, organizations need to think and execute on an enterprise level. Additionally, new and changing enabling technology requires that organizations respond, at an enterprise level, quickly to rapidly changing business and environmental conditions.
