Abstract

The Enterprise Architecture (EA) provides a holistic view of an enterprise and seeks to align the business and IT. As the change in the business goals and strategies of an enterprise is inevitable, managing the evolution of the EA is a key challenge for modern enterprises. Furthermore, the EA metrics are instrumental in quantitatively measuring the progress of an enterprise towards its goals. The retrospective analysis of the EA metrics empower practitioners to take informed decisions while planning and selecting efficient alternatives to achieve the envisioned goal. The tool support for the EA metric analysis is still in its infancy. In this paper, we propose a model-based approach to capture the temporal aspects of the EA metrics and extend a model-based expression language to compute the EA metrics at any point of time in the past. This allows the visualization of the evolution of the EA metrics and as a consequence the evolution of the EA.
