Abstract

Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) plays an important supporting role in IT management of organizations to align their IT infrastructure to actual business needs. This emerging research paper presents an approach to enable real-time monitoring and controlling of enterprise architectures. Therefore, we adapted the "control center" concept as applied in power plants or railway control plants. The contribution of this paper presents an architecture for real-time monitoring and controlling facilities for complex business application landscapes. The business software control center is designed to give a real-time view of instances of IT-supported business processes together with the currently involved software systems and services. Moreover, IT operators are supported by controlling centers to actively control the load of software services at the business function level and to control the flow of business process instances through the organization's IT infrastructure.
