Learning relationships between the business layer and the application layer in archimate models

Abstract

Enterprise architecture provides a visualisation tool for stakeholder to manage and improve the current organization strategy to achieve its objectives. However, building an enterprise architecture is a time-consuming and often highly complex task. It involves data collection and analysis in several levels of granularity, from the physical nodes to the business execution. Existing solutions does not provide techniques to learn the relationship between the levels of granularity. In this paper, we proposed a method to correlate the business and application layers in ArchiMate notation.
