Abstract
We illustrate how graduate students (“the catchers”) are able to model the enterprise architecture of a real organization (“the rye”) by a grid of analysis techniques. These techniques design a model driven architecture, and are easy to learn by students and to understand by enterprise users. The grid includes three levels. The Aggregate Strategic Level (ASL) uses list and matrix models in the domains of information and business processes. ASL schemas are then mapped on a much more detailed Rich Semantic Level (RSL), that is still independent from the underlying technology. Finally, RSL schemas are mapped on executable models, that reflect technology. The illustration is backed by a case study on small-medium enterprise.

The enterprise architecture reflects the orientation of our curriculum “Services Engineering” that allocates 24 of 48 credits on Enterprise Systems architecture and Business Process/Business Service Analysis (for a discussion on Services Science Curricula see [16]).
