Abstract

The architecture principles play a key role in the enterprise architecture evolution. However, the architecture does not always address the principles intentions, which could result in unplanned deviations. Through the related work is perceptible the nonexistence of an architecture analysis based on architecture principles. Hereupon, this research proposes an architecture analysis to evaluate the architecture compliance with architecture principles. The proposed analysis, based on ArchiMate consists in the principle formalization where the principle expected impact is recognized. This analysis enables to identify the principle compliant elements in an enterprise architecture description. This analysis has been applied in one of the largest Portuguese insurance companies to analyse the compliance of some specific architectures. The analysis feasibility presents this research as a contribution to the architecture principles field.
