A Modeling Framework for Enterprise Architecture

Written by
This video shows a presentation given by Terry Merriman at the International Association of Software Architects (IASA) conference in New York City in October, 2009. It discusses the general concepts of modeling enterprise architecture and then provides a live walk-through of an architectural reference model. The model was created using the (EA)2 Enterprise Architecture Modeling Framework, an add-in for Enterprise Architect supplied by OAD Consulting, Inc. The presentation shows how use Enterprise Architect and (EA)2 to model... the horizontal slices of the enterprise architecture, namely the Business, Application, Data, and Infrastructure architectural views, the verical slices of the enterprise architecture,…
This document uses a retail banking example to illustrate how Enterprise Architect can be used to develop Use Cases and a Requirements Model. The document also gives you hands on experience with Use Case Diagrams, Business Rules, Features and the Relationship Matrix.
This document is designed to give an overview of using Enterprise Architect for the first time. It introduces important concepts such as the Project Browser, Toolbox and the Start Page, providing a practical demonstration of how to create a data flow diagram for a library system using Enterprise Architect.

DoxyGen Code Templates for Enterprise Architect

Written by
Enterprise Architect provides a number of code templates that specify the transformation from UML elements to the various parts of a given programming language. The following tutorial demonstrates how to modify a base code template to add support for generating DoxyGen comments.
Scenario:"Your organisation has standardised on the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and you are using an iterative software development process. You’re planning the first production iteration of your software development project and now it’s time to publish a firm delivery date." This tutorial provides a simple step by step guide to the estimation process, starting with a UML model in the Enterprise Architect CASE tool and resulting with a detailed project schedule in Circa. There are 7 easy steps: 1. Import UML software artifacts from Enterprise Architect 2. Assess their size and complexity 3. Apply technology metrics 4. Account for any…

RTF Documentation

Written by
Rich Text Format Documentation Rich text reports are documents produced by Enterprise Architect in Rich Text Format (RTF), a format common to many word processors. In particular it is targeted at Microsoft Word™, which provides the ability to link together a number of rich text documents into a single master document. Typically you will create a Word master document, then some Enterprise Architect RTF reports. These are linked back into sub-sections of the master document and refreshed as required during project development. In this way the project document becomes an easy to manage and feature-rich work product. By adding tables…

The Physical Model

Written by
The Physical/Deployment Model provides a detailed model of the way components will be deployed across the system infrastructure. It details network capabilities, server specifications, hardware requirements and other information related to deploying the proposed system. Deployment View PM01: Physical Model The physical model shows where and how system components will be deployed. It is a specific map of the physical layout of the system. A deployment diagram illustrates the physical deployment of the system into a production (or test) environment. It shows where components will be located, on what servers, machines or hardware. It may illustrate network links, LAN bandwidth…
