Abstract

This chapter gives an overview of currently used methods and techniques in enterprise architecture. Naturally, this description is a snapshot, and we cannot claim to be exhaustive, since the field of enterprise architecture is evolving rapidly. However, it provides this broad overview of current methods and techniques to give the reader an impression of the advances in this field.
