Abstract

Enterprise architecture management (EAM) aims at structuring an enterprise by providing purposeful abstractions of both IT and the surrounding action systems and thereby takes into account the relevant business context. For this purpose, it offers graphical modeling languages (e.g., to model business processes or IT landscapes). Development and use of domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) have gained remarkable attention. They promise to increase the speed and ease of software development, prevent the construction of nonsensical models as well as improve modeling productivity and model quality. In this paper, we explore to which extent current approaches for EAM utilize domain-specific modeling and how requirements from the very core of EAM are fulfilled by corresponding DSMLs. Finally, we identify future research topics that should lead to a more sophisticated use of DSMLs for EAM and foster a closer collaboration between both communities.
