Title: Design and Prototypical Implementation of a Language Empowering Business Users to Define Key Performance Indicators for Enterprise Architecture Management
Abstract:To measure the achievement of predefined Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) goals, it is essential to empower business users to define organization-specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Ho...To measure the achievement of predefined Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) goals, it is essential to empower business users to define organization-specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). However, to support tool-based calculation of such KPIs, a formal model-based query language is required for their definition and calculation. In this paper we first examine existing general-purpose query languages regarding their suitability for the definition of business-user-specific KPIs in a collaborative environment. Thereafter, we justify the demand for a domain-specific query language ensuring a balance between the strengths of existing query languages and the size and purpose of the EAM domain. Based on this, we outline important design details and a prototypical implementation of such a language in a EAM tool. Finally, our language design is being evaluated by the implementation of suggested EAM KPIs from literature on the one hand, and by the development of a prototype for the use in an EU project on the other hand.Read More
