ABSTRACT
This article introduces the concept of enterprise architecture management (EAM) patterns, a pattern based approach for EA management. Three different types of patterns are presented. M-Patterns document proven-practice methodologies to address typical problems in EA management. V-Patterns represent best-practice visualizations, whereas I-Patterns indicate information requirements for EA management. These patterns build up a pattern language for EA management, with an excerpt given in this article.

Patterns for risk management in projects
EuroPLoP '10: Proceedings of the 15th European Conference on Pattern Languages of ProgramsIn this paper, we present two patterns that are part of an evolving Pattern Language intended to document practices used by risk managers that are beyond what is thought in risk management textbooks and refer to some sensitive points of the work in an ...
Analysis of Architecture Pattern Usage in Legacy System Architecture Documentation
WICSA '08: Proceedings of the Seventh Working IEEE/IFIP Conference on Software Architecture (WICSA 2008)Architecture patterns are an important tool in architectural design. However, while many architecture patterns have been identified, there is little in-depth understanding of their actual use in software architectures. For instance, there is no overview ...
