Architecture Principles
Architecture principles are, when following the NAF definition of architecture, the cornerstone of enterprise architecture. While being a cornerstone, the concept of architecture principles has not yet received much attention. The aim of this working group is therefore to (amongst others):
- Identify and define different uses of the concept of principles by the architecture community.
- Identify requirements on principles as a means to enable enterprise architecture to actually limit design freedom.
- More precisely define what principles are and the language in which they can be formulated.
- Define process/methods enabling organization to (in a more predictable and mature way) produce architecture principles that address their actual concerns.
LAC 2007
The group has contributed to the LAC 2007 with a workshop on business principles: Principes: de hoeksteen voor architectuur, with a presentation by Danny Greefhorst, Erik Proper and Frank van den Ham.
