Semi-automated model-based generation of enterprise architecture deliverables

Abstract

As part of Enterprise Architecture projects, models are built using different languages and tools to document and analyze the state of business and IT. However, models are just intermediate assets: deliverables are the actual outputs, but they are typically hand built using information from the models, and following the structures specified in EA methods. This requires manual effort, is error-prone, and results in artifacts that might be out-of-date very quickly. This paper addresses this by making a proposal to support the semi-automated generation of EA deliverables using a scripting Domain Specific Language for the creation of deliverable templates.
