International contributors in computer science, software engineering, and information systems extol the benefits of aligning business processes with IT through the use of enterprise architecture as a collaboration platform between aspects of business planning, business operations, and automation. The first part of the book clarifies relationships among different kinds of architectures and discusses the role of various approaches in helping to capture these architectures. Section 2 examines ways of crossing enterprise, system, and software boundaries, such as the use of RESTful architecture to tackle software diversity in mobile web systems, and the use of genetic algorithms to search for key stakeholders. Section 3 gives examples and case studies on architecture processes, tools, and techniques, and Section 4 presents industrial case studies in areas such as architecture practice in an agile environment and adoption of cloud computing. Mistrik is a systems engineering consultant.
