Presentation
A Tool-Neutral Framework for Systematic Experience Reuse in Architecture Description

In the last few years the enterprise architecture development has become an important issue. Several organizations have developed efforts to formalize their existing and intended architecture descriptions. For this reason the role of enterprise architects has become a key element of the organizational function. The enterprise architect’s experience plays an important role in the process of the architecture description. In this presentation we will present a framework and a computational implementation that empowers the architecture description process by allowing the use of enterprise architect’s past experience.
