Patterns in Enterprise Architecture Management (PEAM 2009)

There is a growing interest in academia and industry to identify, collect, document and exchange best practices in the management of very large software application landscapes in a structured manner. This workshop addresses European researchers and practitioners with experience in enterprise architecture management topics. The goal of the workshop is to improve this knowledge exchange by using an integrating pattern-based approach. An enterprise architecture management pattern (EAM pattern) is a general, reusable solution to a common problem in a given context which identifies driving forces, known usages and consequences. It can be specified on different levels of abstraction and detail, e.g. as a framework for enterprise architectures, as a method for enterprise modeling, or as a reference model. EAM patterns address social, technical and economic issues in a balanced manner.
