Study Notes

Enterprise Study Summary

  • A study of enterprises details the Moller's framework, which categorizes enterprise systems into distinct layers. These layers include foundation, process, analytical, and portal layers. Each layer has a specific function, with the foundation layer handling core systems, the process layer automating workflows, the analytical layer focusing on data analysis, and the portal layer providing a user interface.

TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM)

  • The TOGAF method is a cyclical approach to enterprise architecture development. The ADM has multiple phases structured to ensure consistent development.

ADM Phases

  • The preliminary phase prepares the organization by defining governance, tools, and principles for architecture development.
  • The architecture vision phase defines overarching goals, scope, and high-level architecture.
  • The business architecture phase focuses on business structure, processes, and functions.
  • The information systems architecture phase defines data and application architectures.
  • The technology architecture phase establishes required technology infrastructure.
  • The opportunities and solutions phase identifies solutions to risks and gaps.
  • The migration planning phase creates a roadmap for transitioning to new architecture.
  • The implementation governance phase ensures implementation aligns with the vision and standards.
  • Architecture change management addresses changes in the business environment throughout the cycle. Requirements management is a key, continuous process throughout the ADM cycle, ensuring business and technical needs are captured and refined as the architecture develops. Requirements evolve and are handled iteratively throughout the cycle to keep the approach flexible to changing needs.

Architectural Styles

  • Layered Architecture: Separates system functionality into distinct layers with specific responsibilities.
  • Microservices Architecture: A system composed of small, independent, and deployable services.
  • Space-Based Architecture: Decentralized architecture using in-memory data grids for scalability.
  • Pipeline Architecture: Breaks processes into sequential stages connected by data streams.

Architectural Design for Phases B, C, D

  • Phase B (Business Architecture): Defines business processes, strategies, goals, and objectives for alignment with architecture.
  • Phase C (Information Systems Architecture): Defining data and application architectures based on business requirements.
  • Phase D (Technology Architecture): Outlines technology infrastucture for implementation of solutions defined in Phase C.

Moller's Framework Components

  • ERP I (Internal): Provides internal integration for functions like finance, human resources, and procurement.
  • ERP II (External): Handles external integration with partners and other entities.
  • Enterprise Systems (ES): Integrate business functions across the organization.
  • Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES): Manage shop-floor operations.
  • Production Control Systems: Control equipment-level processes and operations.
  • Supply Chain Systems: Streamline logistics, communication, and demand forecasting.

Event Driven Architecture (EDA)

  • EDA (Broker Topology): A design pattern where messages are routed between producers and consumers via a Broker.
  • Use Cases: Handles subscriptions, dispatches events, data loss prevention, and real-time manufacturing metrics in EDA.

Fallacies in Distributed Computing

  • Relating to the perceived reliability, bandwidth, and security of distributed networks, often unrealistic when deployed.

Big Data and Data Architectures

  • Maier's Big Data Reference Architecture: Comprises components like Data Ingestion, Storage, Processing, and Visualization to handle large, complex datasets.
  • Data Mesh Architecture: Decentralized design empowering domain ownership of data products to improve data sharing and scalability.

Software Design Principles

  • Coupling: The degree of dependency between modules. Low coupling is preferred for flexibility.
  • Cohesion: The degree of relatedness within a module. High cohesion is preferred.

Operational Architectural Characteristics

  • Performance: System speed and responsiveness
  • Scalability: Ability to handle growth.
  • Security: Protecting data and system resources.
  • Availability: Ensuring system accessibility.
  • Maintainability: The ease of modifying and updating the system.

Microservices Architecture (Example)

  • Breakdown of a complex application into smaller, focused, modular components for easier development and maintenance..

Additional Points

  • TOGAF methodology prioritizes iterative refinement throughout the process.
  • Enterprise architecture aims to align business and IT goals.
  • Key artifacts (conceptual and operational) are crucial to describe a system clearly and concisely.
