Lankhorst and his co-authors present ArchiMate (R) 3.0, enterprise
modelling language that captures the complexity of architectural
domains and their relations and allows the construction of
integrated enterprise architecture models. They provide architects
with concrete instruments that improve their architectural
practice. As this is not enough, they additionally present
techniques and heuristics for communicating with all relevant
stakeholders about these architectures. Since an architecture model
is useful not only for providing insight into the current or future
situation but can also be used to evaluate the transition from
'as-is' to 'to-be', the authors also describe analysis methods for
assessing both the qualitative impact of changes to an architecture
and the quantitative aspects of architectures, such as performance
and cost issues. The modelling language presented has been proven
in practice in many real-life case studies and has been adopted by
The Open Group as an international standard. So this book is an
ideal companion for enterprise IT or business architects in
industry as well as for computer or management science students
studying the field of enterprise architecture. This fourth edition
of the book has been completely reworked to be compatible with
ArchiMate (R) 3.0, and it includes a new chapter relating this new
version to other standards. New sections on capability analysis,
risk analysis, and business architecture in general have also been
introduced.
Economies around the globe have evolved into being largely
service-oriented economies. Consumers no longer just want a printer
or a car, they rather ask for a printing service or a mobility
service. In addition, service-oriented organizations increasingly
exploit new devices, technologies and infrastructures. Agility is
the ability to deal with such changing requirements and
environments. Agile ways of working embrace change as a positive
force and harness it to the organization's competitive advantage.
The approach described in this book focuses on the notion of a
service as a piece of functionality that offers value to its
customers. Instead of solely looking at agility in the context of
system or software development, agility is approached in a broader
context. The authors illustrate three kinds of agility that can be
found in an agile enterprise: business, process and system agility.
These three types of agility reinforce each other and establish the
foundation for the agile enterprise. Architecture, patterns,
models, and all of the best practices in system development
contribute to agile service development and building agile
applications. This book addresses two audiences. On the one hand,
it aims at agile and architecture practitioners who are looking for
more agile ways of working in designing and building business
services or who are interested in extending and improving their
agile methods by using models and model-based architectures. On the
other hand, it addresses students of (enterprise) architecture and
software development or service science courses, both in computer
science and in business administration.

An enterprise architecture tries to describe and control an
organisation's structure, processes, applications, systems and
techniques in an integrated way. The unambiguous specification and
description of components and their relationships in such an
architecture requires a coherent architecture modelling language.
Lankhorst and his co-authors present such an enterprise modelling
language that captures the complexity of architectural domains and
their relations and allows the construction of integrated
enterprise architecture models. They provide architects with
concrete instruments that improve their architectural practice. As
this is not enough, they additionally present techniques and
heuristics for communicating with all relevant stakeholders about
