Employing MDA in Enterprise Architecture

As enterprises become increasingly information based, making improvements in their information activities is an essential priority to guarantee their continuing competitiveness. A key to achieve these improvements is developing an Enterprise Architecture (EA). EA typically encompasses an overview of the entire information system in an enterprise, including the software, hardware, and information architectures. In this paper, we aim the use of Model Driven Architecture (MDA) in Enterprise Architecture. MDA is the most recent approach which is introduced by OMG to improve software development. Our goal is to apply MDA to EA across multiple hierarchical levels ranging from business to IT. However, it is considered as an extension of the initial scope of MDA, but we show that MDA can play a pivotal role in this case. It enables various specialists to reason about and design business and IT systems that are truly integrated. The overall benefit is an increase in the project success rate.
