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.

Members from the working group have published the book "Architecture Principles – The Cornerstones of Enterprise Architecture". For more information: http://www.springer.com/business+%26+management/business+information+systems/book/978-3-642-20278-0
