DYA Framework
Dynamic Enterprise Architecture (DYA) is an enterprise architecture framework developed by the consulting company Sogeti. It focuses on software design in general, and improving the architectural design function. The DYA framework is built up with the following modules:Sogetti (2011)Fields covered by DYA at ''dya.info''. Accessed July 8, 2013. * DYA, Infrastructure, concerning infrastructural architecture * DYA, Software, concerning software architecture * DYA, Business, concerning business architecture * DYA, Governance, concerning IT governance, and * DYA, Principles, about the development of architectural principles The concept of the DYA framework was first introduced in the 2001 by Roel Wagter, Marlies van Steenbergen, Martin van den Berg, and Joost Luijpers of Sogeti in the Dutch book, entitled ''DYA: snelheid en samenhang in business- en ICT-architectuur'', revised, translated in English, and published in 2005 as "Dynamic Enterprise Architecture: How to Make It Work".

Enterprise Architecture Framework
An enterprise architecture framework (EA framework) defines how to create and use an enterprise architecture. An architecture framework provides principles and practices for creating and using the architecture description of a system. It structures architects' thinking by dividing the architecture description into domains, layers, or views, and offers models - typically matrices and diagrams - for documenting each view. This allows for making systemic design decisions on all the components of the system and making long-term decisions around new design requirements, sustainability, and support. Overview Enterprise architecture regards the enterprise as a large and complex system or system of systems. To manage the scale and complexity of this system, an architectural framework provides tools and approaches that help architects abstract from the level of detail at which builders work, to bring enterprise design tasks into focus and produce valuable architecture description docu ...

White Paper
A white paper is a report or guide that informs readers concisely about a complex issue and presents the issuing body's philosophy on the matter. It is meant to help readers understand an issue, solve a problem, or make a decision. A white paper is the first document researchers should read to better understand a core concept or idea. The term originated in the 1920s to mean a type of position paper or industry report published by some department of the UK government. Since the 1990s, this type of document has proliferated in business. Today, a business-to-business (B2B) white paper is closer to a marketing presentation, a form of content meant to persuade customers and partners and promote a certain product or viewpoint. That makes B2B white papers a type of grey literature. In government The term ''white paper'' originated with the British government and many point to the Churchill White Paper of 1922 as the earliest well-known example under this name. Gertrude Bell, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Open Infrastructure Architecture Method
The Open Infrastructure Architecture method, or OIAm, is an open standard for the application of architecture to infrastructure. OIAm and the community The development of the method has from its early inception been published on the Internet under a Creative Commons license, using a Semantic MediaWiki based wiki for publication of standard content - originally the "DYA, Infrastructure Repository" (DIR), currently the "Open Infrastructure Architecture repository" (OIAr). As a result of this, a community evolved consisting of architects and other people working with, or being interested in, the method. This community mainly revolves around the aforementioned OIAr, a LinkedIn group nameOpen Infrastructure Architecture and a semi-annual community meeting. Modelling infrastructure under OIAm Modelling infrastructure is done under OIAm using * The ArchiMate architecture modelling language; * A generic vocabulary, published under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license in a wiki designatethe OIAr(Open In ...

Mainframe Computer
A mainframe computer, informally called a mainframe or big iron, is a computer used primarily by large organizations for critical applications like bulk data processing for tasks such as censuses, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning, and large-scale transaction processing. A mainframe computer is large but not as large as a supercomputer and has more processing power than some other classes of computers, such as minicomputers, servers, workstations, and personal computers. Most large-scale computer-system architectures were established in the 1960s, but they continue to evolve. Mainframe computers are often used as servers. The term ''mainframe'' was derived from the large cabinet, called a ''main frame'', that housed the central processing unit and main memory of early computers. Later, the term ''mainframe'' was used to distinguish high-end commercial computers from less powerful machines. Design Modern mainframe design is characterized less b ...

IT Architecture
Information technology architecture is the process of development of methodical information technology specifications, models and guidelines, using a variety of information technology notations, for example Unified Modeling Language (UML), within a coherent information technology architecture framework, following formal and informal information technology solution, enterprise, and infrastructure architecture processes. These processes have been developed in the past few decades in response to the requirement for a coherent, consistent approach to delivery of information technology capabilities. They have been developed by information technology product vendors and independent consultancies, such as for example the Open Group, based on real experiences in the information technology marketplace and collaboration amongst industry stakeholders. Best practice information technology architecture encourages the use of open technology standards and global technology interoperability. Infor ...
