Case Studies (33)
A Case Study is a collection of information about an individual, company, standards body or entity that wish to illustrate their experience with Enterprise Architect. It could describe an evaluation of a process, specific implementation, a real world example or demonstrate a best practice approach for a given industry or domain. Use this link to submit innovative and exciting case studies on how Enterprise Architect has been successfully used within your organization.

Managing a Student Project with Enterprise Architect - Part 1
Written by doug rosenberg
Introduction (See attachment for full article) For the past several years I’ve enjoyed a mostly informal association with the University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering (USC CSSE). I was on-staff at USC a few years ago teaching SysML and Model Based Systems Engineering, but for the last few years I’ve been mentoring Computer Science grad students in two Masters courses: CS577 Software Engineering and CS590 Directed Research. The Directed Research (DR) course is basically a mechanism for students who are about to graduate from the Masters program but are one or two units short…

It is particularly important to measure and manage carbon emissions reduction from project activities. The major objective of the Global Carbon Data program is to establish and communicate accurate monitoring algorithms to quantify emissions reduction. Carbon abatement projects can then qualify for carbon offsets/credits using these standard methodologies. The program is to offer a centre of excellence for those organisations who want to engage in testbeds for specific project types, facilitating knowledge and technology sharing of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Data can be published to reach governments, NGOs and the corporate sector through a climate change specific cloud…

Dunstan Thomas Consulting Cloud Services deployment of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect for ATOC
Written by lpartridge
Dunstan Thomas Consulting Cloud services deployment of Sparx Enterprise Architect for ATOC Dunstan Thomas Consulting (DTC) worked with ATOC to install and configure Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect to enable them to work in a collaborative environment using a MySQL hosted model repository. This model repository was located on a server within the ATOC premises and accessed via LAN and ODBC and remotely via a VPN. During this engagement, Dunstan Thomas Consulting not only worked with ATOC but also ensured that they had gained the skills necessary to perform all repository administration tasks (such as creating new Groups and Users) by…

Especially when concerning more deeply embedded systems with complex multicore SoCs, it is often not easy to prove functional safety. In this case, using a model-based development platform such as Enterprise Architect along with a code generator optimized for embedded applications and a model-based testing tool with hardware-level debugger, this problem is relatively easy to solve. This combination allows developers to design, test and debug their software on the same level of abstraction - also on the real target. Model-based development is finding more and more followers, and the field of industrial and automotive embedded systems is no exception. This…

Dunstan Thomas Consulting training helps Waitrose to optimise use of Sparx Enterprise Architect
Written by DT_Sam
Executive Summary Dunstan Thomas Consulting (DTC) worked with the Waitrose IT Strategy & Architecture team to understand how to get maximum value from using Sparx Enterprise Architect (EA). The team wanted to explore the capabilities of the tool to optimise its existing investment in EA skills and software Background Waitrose IT has used Sparx Enterprise Architect since 2008 for UML modelling as part of the Partnership Systems Development Methodology (PSDM). This methodology is used across the John Lewis Partnership as part of the development lifecycle. In December 2013 the Waitrose IT Strategy & Architecture team started to investigate how to…

Importing requirements from Excel to Enterprise Architect with eaDocX for a model-driven approach to build the RFP response
Written by Guillaume
eaDocX's eaXL module makes it possible to import and export information between Excel and Sparx Enterprise Architect, e.g. requirements, classes (including attributes or methods), use cases, etc. This article provides a feedback on a real-life experience where eaXL has been used for a request for proposal (RFP): more than a hundred requirements have been imported into Enterprise Architect in order to carry the analysis and build the response with the aid and support of the model-driven approach. Steps involved to import the customer's requirements are covered in this article. Note: eaXL module for Excel support requires eaDocX Corporate edition. Context…

Enterprise Architect for an Enterprise Architecture
Written by Bert Dingemans
Introduction In the last year I have done a number of projects for a Dutch government agency as a data architect. This organisation has an architecture team with four members. There is a problem in producing architecture documents like Project Start Architectures, it takes too much time and the result has limited value for the projects. This is mainly caused by the lack of overview on the baseline and the target architecture. There is no overview of the business processes, the application and the infrastructure. For every project, an architect has to do a lot of research on the baseline…

From Business Capabilities to SOA - TOGAF 9.1 and Archimate 2.0 using Sparx
Written by Birol
Summary of the presentation (from the EA User Group Meeting at Nuremberg, Oct. 8th 2013) This animated presentation downloadable below is about the Open Group's TOGAF 9.1 and ArchiMate 2.0 standards. It illustrates on a short case study how to use the ArchiMate ® 2.0 notations throughout TOGAF® 9’ ADM phases until aligning SOA implementation components with changing business strategies and capabilities* using Sparx EA. The single slide case study is provided using the Balanced Score Cards perspectives to conduct TOGAF 9 / Archimate 2.0 EA Operating Model. (*) Capability (TOGAF 9.1 Definition) : An ability that an organization, person…

Model Led Development for Greenhouse Gas Reporting
Written by nyamurray
Business situation As companies seek to comply with greenhouse gas emissions reporting regulations, there is a clear challenge to avoid the yearly pain of intensive manual information gathering from multiple sources, spreadsheets, databases, meters and output from statistical reports. A UML model can be used to semi automate cloud hosted software services. It is possible to set up an automated reporting system once, so that the information required for CO2e emissions by energy source is at hand throughout the year. Most of the software services depend on having a robust, tried and tested information model, and the time saved by…

How do you detect a moving asteroid that might hit the earth?
Written by doug rosenberg
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will survey the entire sky for a decade from it's mountaintop perch in Chile, sweeping the sky every 3 nights, shooting two 3-gigapixel images per minute, adding up to a mind-boggling 20 terabytes of images to be processed every night. LSST's image processing pipelines will automatically analyze this stream of images, and will identify, and track moving objects. This article describes the MOPS (Moving Object Production System) pipeline, modeling using Enterprise Architect using ICONIX Process for Algorithmic Systems, as described in my book ICONIX Process Roadmaps. LSST also is using Enterprise Architect for system engineering…

I’ve been using Sparx Systems’ Enterprise Architect for close to ten years now and my love for the tool is as strong now that it was when I first stumbled across it with a good friend on a client site. Initially, I was attracted to Enterprise Architect because of its great value for money, and like everything I was skeptical of how it would actually perform in the ‘real world’.I initially test drove it on some simple projects, documenting requirements and use cases, with a few class models thrown in for good measure. Needless to say it easily passed these…
