Abstract

The discipline of enterprise architecture advocates the use of models to support decision-making on enterprise-wide information system issues. In order to provide such support, enterprise architecture models should be amenable to analyses of various properties, as e.g. the availability, performance, interoperability, modifiability, and information security of the modeled enterprise information systems. This paper presents a software tool for such analyses. The tool guides the user in the generation of enterprise architecture models and subjects these models to analyses resulting in quantitative measures of the chosen quality attribute. The paper describes and exemplifies both the architecture and the usage of the tool.
