E=MC2 (em c square): Matrix enterprise powered by models, driven by Cross cutting Concerns
An enterprise is a matrix of macro-level activities and micro-level functional entities. Since the beginning of the software industry, architects have faced a fundamental challenge - transforming enterprise vision, views, and opinions into appropriate model. GERAM has introduced a roadmap towards model driven enterprise operational system development techniques.

However, enterprise is lacking a proper model driven enterprise framework. Cross-cutting Concerns or Concern Oriented Software Development is the right fuel for MDA-based enterprise architecture state-of-the art practice. Although MDA and AOP are still not established in terms of their comprehensive and robustness, enterprises stand to benefit greatly from the confluence of these practices.

On a lighter note, Albert Einstein's famous formula E = MC2 , can be used to rightly describe the ultimate equation for the enterprise. This paper introduces a new model driven enterprise classification framework, a new magical formula for this matrix enterprise.
