This webinar will demonstrate how Enterprise Architect can be used to create ArchiMate viewpoints to understand, document and communicate knowledge of the enterprise architecture.

Many organisations are using ArchiMate to model and understand dependencies between people, processes, products, applications, data, hardware and system software. In addition, ArchiMate supports capability maps for strategic planning and motivation models for project justification.

ArchiMate is an industry standard graphical notation for modelling architecture concepts, published by The Open Group and closely aligned with their Architecture Framework TOGAF.

• Strategy and motivation elements to perform strategic planning and justify projects.

2021 Sparx Systems Award

The Sparx Systems 2021 award was presented to Michelle Holly.

Sparx Systems likes to encourage Federation University students to achieve world class results. Sparx Systems has a strong association with Federation University with many staff having once worked and studied at Federation University. Michelle completed her first year of the Bachelor of Information Technology (Professional Practice) program in 2020, with outstanding results. The Bachelor of IT (Professional Practice) is a four-year degree, accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS). The innovative degree includes 1600 hours of work integrated learning with IBM in Ballarat, Victoria. Michelle is completing her internship with IBM at Salesforce Consulting Services.

Michelle has already learned about networking, cloud computing, object-oriented programming, SQL, C#, and Java scripting, agile coding, web design, big data and information security. Michelle is from Surabaya, Indonesia, and is studying at the Federation University Mt Helen campus.

The criteria for the award is for a student who has demonstrated significant ability in a particular area of ICT. Michelle has excelled in every aspect of the course Game Development Fundamentals, despite the challenging year of 2020. Her game prototype will be an example of innovation and ambition for future students for years to come. Michelle stated “I found Game Development Fundamentals is the most interesting course in my second semester. This course incorporates both design and high-order thinking to build a 3D game by using Blender, Unity and the C# programming language. My last project was developing a 3D game with a combination of a maze runner and trivia questions. Even though this course seemed hard at first, I found the programming knowledge in lectures, practical learning in lab sessions, and lecturers' support were really helpful. I managed to build my game prototype by designing the 3D objects in Blender and using Unity to collaborate the object's behaviour with C# scripting language.”

Sparx Systems would like to congratulate Michelle for all her hard work and wish her all the best in her future studies.  She was also provided a copy of Enterprise Architect to help her untertake the many software development tasks within her degreee.

Capturing and communicating business needs as requirements is a critical task of a Business Analyst.

Requirements Repositories allows capturing those requirements once, then have them available to you and your team for the projects lifetime and beyond. Using Requirements Management tools like Enterprise Architect, the captured business requirements can then be transformed to a formal requirements specification according to the business information needs and views of every relevant stakeholder. Also validating these specifications by tracing from the requirement specification and solution components at every level directly back to the business requirements helps you create the most accurate solutions imaginable. This webinar shows how to use Enterprise Architect for building and managing a requirements repository. You will also learn how to establish requirements traceability in Enterprise Architect thereby documenting the lineage of the requirement to its solutions.

The School of Science, Engineering and Information Technology at Federation University presents an annual Information Technology Student Awards Presentation.

The Sparx Systems 2020 award was presented to Thommas Bannister.

The Sparx Systems award was established for a student that displays academic excellence in their degree.  On recieving the award, Tom commented "Learning at Federation University was one of the best experiences of my life. All of the lecturers were very kind and cared immensely about ensuring that their students were able to achieve their maximum potential and some of the friendships I made there will last the rest of my life. Over the course of my undergraduate, I studied a wide array of subjects including Artificial Intelligence, Security, Programming/Software Engineering, Databases, Networks, etc and got to be the project manager for a full year project that involved designing a Smart Bin system for Federation University campuses. My favourite area of ICT is programming/software engineering as it gives me an huge amount of creativity and allows me to continually challenge myself to design better systems and solutions to problems."
