A Workshop on Analysis and Evaluation of Enterprise Architectures

This paper summarizes a workshop on analysis and evaluation of enterprise architectures that was held at the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI). The SEI invited accomplished practitioners from government and industry to discuss key issues in analyzing and evaluating enterprise architectures. After several opening talks by individuals who presented the state of the practice of enterprise architecture within their own organizations, the group considered a series of questions, including is there a fundamental difference between analyzing and evaluating enterprise architectures and system of system architectures?
