A Lightweight Approach for Designing Enterprise Architectures Using BPMN
In this Article, Oscar Barros, Ricardo Seguel and Alejandro Quezada present an integrated and lightweight design approach for Enterprise Architecture using a generic architecture and patterns expressed in BPMN. The approach facilitates the modeling between the four different levels involved in EA – process architecture, business design, process logic, and IT process support. This approach has been applied in hospitals where it has successfully reduced the complexity of the modeling process and the time required for implementation.
