Open Architecture for the Enterprise, Part 1: Architectural Principles of Open Architecture - Be Cheap, Flexible, and Interoperable in 7 Easy Steps
Overview Enterprise Open Architecture (OA) is a pattern of nonfunctional requirements that can help one create and maintain more open and flexible complex systems, and systems of systems. Organizations with large, complex systems are looking to OA to help manage complexity, increase flexibility, and reduce their costs. Satisfying the OA nonfunctional requirements (open standards, modularity, interoperability, extensibility, reusability, composability, and maintainability) in system design and implementation is essential to OA at the enterprise level. In this paper, learn about the enterprise business drivers behind OA, and the OA nonfunctional requirements. Associated architectural principles that address the requirements are also covered.
