Architectural Modeling for the Future Internet-enabled Enterprise (AMFInE) Workshop

In order for future enterprises to make effective use of the Future Internet, it is necessary that their Enterprise Architecture aligns with the Future Internet Architecture. An Enterprise Architecture is a comprehensive architecture description that spans enterprise and technology aspects, to allow understanding and analysis of relevant enterprise properties. As such, it is an important instrument to plan processes and resources that are involved in realizing the goals of the enterprise. The Future Internet Architecture comprises a set of design principles and a structure of components and their relationships that together underlie the construction of a ‘better’ Internet, featuring among others the Internet of Things and the Internet of Services. This workshop targets models and mechanisms that make an Enterprise Architecture Future Internet-enabled, extending it in such a way that Future Internet features can be exploited. In particular, we target dynamic enterprise collaborations with changing partnerships to fulfil emerging customer needs, using real-time monitoring information for decision-making and optimization. Important modelling and analysis goals of an Enterprise Architecture in this context include interoperability, flexibility, trustability, profitability, sustainability, and adaptability.
