    Study Notes

    Module 4.1 - Frameworks

    • Zachman: Addresses the entire enterprise as a whole, with no methodology or artifacts.
    • TOGAF: Treats the enterprise as a system.
    • MDA: Offers an open, vendor-neutral approach to interoperability, raising the level of abstraction for specifying software solutions.
    • Levels of Abstraction: Computation independent, Platform independent, Platform specific.
    • Computation Independent: Business/domain models and business requirements are independent of workflow.
    • Platform Independent: BPMN and UML models are independent of computing platform engine.
    • Platform Specific: Mapping is a key component, using rules and techniques to translate models.
    • Service Oriented Architecture (SOA): A set of design principles enabling units of functionality to be provided and consumed as services. Applies to both business and software applications. Separates internal and external behavior. Interoperability and service reuse are crucial aspects.

    Module 4.2 - TOGAF

    • Content framework, architecture repository, modular structure, isolation of guidelines, and incremental adoption are all aligned with business vision and drivers.
    • ACF (capability): Organizational processes, skills, roles, responsibilities for EA.
    • Enterprise Continuum: Developmental processes from foundational to industry-specific enterprise architectures, which can be adaptable.
    • ADM (architecture development method): Iterative, considering enterprise coverage, level of detail, time horizon, and architectural assets.
    • Domains: Focus on business - strategy, governance, processes; data - logical/physical assets and data management; application - blueprint, deployment, interactions; technology - IT infrastructure.
    • Implementation governance and architecture change management are necessary. ADM's components are not always sequential, and the biggest difference from SDLC is scope.

    Module 4.3 - CSVLOD

    • Dimension 1: What? Broad rules defining an organization, often in text format, updated periodically. Focus is on planning decisions, helping maintain consistency.
    • Dimension 2: How? Business-focused, typically technology-neutral, using plain business language. IT-focused uses technical language, describing specific IT systems and processes in detail.

    Module 5.1 - Architecture Analysis & Modeling

    • Architecture Analysis and Modeling: Techniques for capturing architecture with abstraction and integration, useful in decision-making and design.
    • Functional Analysis: Assess impact on other entities, validate correctness.
    • Quantitative Analysis: Assess impact of change via optimization. Evaluate alternative designs regarding capacity, reliability, cost.
    • Simulation: Testing of models before deployment.
    • Analytical: Higher analysis compared to quantitative, mostly functional and analytical.
    • Modeling Process: Models represent real-world aspects in an unambiguous, abstract way for EA.
    • Goal-driven: Architects should determine relevant domains for the model.
    • Importance of models: Models communicate to introduce, agree on, and commit to representations. Architecture gains more knowledge from modeling.

    Module 5.2 - Views and Viewpoints

    • Viewpoints: Stakeholder perspectives and the domains they focus on (business, logical, physical).
    • Purpose and Content: Selecting viewpoints based on use-cases, design, decision making, informing, and architecture details.
    • Content of Architecture View: Provide diagrams like UML class diagram, operational managers, business processes, group of IT services, considerations for multi-layers, overview of Zachman domains and CEO views.

    Module 5.3 - Language for Enterprise Modeling

    • Enterprise Modeling Language: Heterogeneous approach to deal with inter-domain relations; model relationships between domains clearly; formal approach with no ambiguity.
    • Service Orientation and Layering - Services as units of functionality, modular, diverse applications, and layered views.
    • Basic architecture layers: Business- offers products, application- supports business layer with services, technology- infrastructural services needed by applications.

    Module 6.1 - Impact of Emerging & Disruptive Technologies

    • Importance of Emerging Technologies: Competitive advantage, external pressure, more efficient operation, challenges with integration.
    • Emerging Technologies: Neuromorphic computing, quantum, AI, robotics.
    • Neuromorphic: Mimicking the human brain in architecture and structure- focused on real-time processing.
    • Quantum: Alternative machine architecture with parallel processing capabilities- focus on exponential speed and solving complex issues.
    • AI and Emerging Trends: AI building on machine intelligence, deep learning, NLP, computer vision, and other significant advancements.

    Module 6.2 - Current Advances in AI and the Need for Organizational Preparedness

    • AI Models: Trained on data to recognize patterns in situations; parameter adjustments are important during training for decision-making.
    • Relevant AI Technologies: Language models (LLMs), computer vision, image generation, music/sound generation, no-code development, scientific application.
    • Natural Language Processing: Learning of languages, personal assistants like ChatGPT, and digital assistants.
    • Small/Large Language Models (LLMs): Billions of parameters, useful for many things, prominent examples like ChatGPT, Gemini, Llama, etc.

    (Additional notes found in pages 19, 20, 21):

    • Job Security: AI's impact on specific occupational roles (artists, drivers, etc.).
    • Blurred Realities: Concerning issues like deepfakes and the blurring lines between reality and digital realms.
    • Military Applications: Potential for AI in military applications and concerns about its use.
    • Impacts on EA: Current organization approaches and possible future workforce dynamics.
    • Open-Source Models: Cost-effective, privacy, and confidentiality considerations with open-source technologies, challenges with technical users.
    • Ethical Considerations in AI: Privacy issues, data confidentiality, job security, and other ethical factors.
    • Major Challenges of current state of AI: Limitations on present systems are common; concerns over inefficient hardware, high costs for hardware, energy needs, and sustainability issues; safety concerns.
