Abstract

The development of various architectural frameworks and models in the field of software architecture shows the importance of the need for such a governing structure for growing and developed organizations. To create or to choose the right and suitable architecture frame work for any organization, the comparative study of all the frameworks and models must be analyzed. This paper technically analyzes various well known frameworks based on their views/perspectives, kind of architecture they deal with, characteristics, system development methodology, system modeling technique and business modeling technique and also explains their advantages and weakness. Frameworks that we consider are Zachman framework, TEAF, FEAF, TOGAF, DODAF and ISO/RM-ODP.
