A Visual Tool for Conflict Resolution in EA Repositories

This presentation outlines a bachelor’s thesis aimed at developing a visual tool for conflict resolution in enterprise architecture (EA) repositories. The research focuses on providing interactive visualizations to facilitate the understanding and resolution of model conflicts. Key objectives include enhancing conflict resolution processes with relevant background information and employing suitable layout algorithms for visualizing large EA models. The approach includes a meta-information model and mock-ups. The timeline outlines key phases of research and implementation.

  4. Research Objective and Questions • Research Objective: Facilitate model conflict tasks with visualizations to provide an easy understanding of the given model and respective conflicts; enhance the process of solving the conflicts with relevant background information and change memory. • Q1: “How to provide (interactive) visual means to communicate and resolve model conflicts?” • Q1.1: “Which (EA) visualizations are scalable for large (<=1K Objects) EA models?” • Q1.2: “Which layout algorithms are suitable to visualize EA model conflicts?” Bachelor’s Thesis kick-off presentation, 08.07.2013

  5. Approach • Meta information model Bachelor’s Thesis kick-off presentation, 08.07.2013

  6. Approach • Mock-ups # ofobjects Object Type <ApplicationComponent> ConceptA (50) Attribute (10):String [1,1] ! DefinedConcept UndefinedConcept DerivedConcept Legend Infrastructure(10): Relationship [1,*] ! 20 % 80 % 20 % 80 % Attribute Name Attribute Type Cardinalities Bachelor’s Thesis kick-off presentation, 08.07.2013

  7. Approach • Mock-ups <ApplicationComponent> ConceptA (50) Attribute (10):String [1,1] !
