Proposed Four Matrices of the Generic Enterprise Reference Architecture

Adopting the recursive view of integration developed in SATT [4] altogether four life-cycle matrices can be identified. We define four entity types and corresponding four life-cycles:

1
The Strategic Enterprise Management Process (Life-Cycle)
2
The Enterprise Engineering/ Integration Process Life-Cycle
3
The Enterprise Life-Cycle
4
The Product Life-Cycle

One such matrix (#3) was presented in detail in [2], and described the life-cycle of the enterprise.

However, it is also possible to define the life-cycle of the Enterprise Engineering / Integration Processes . This definition would then consist of the concept, identification, requirements definition, design, implementation (detailed design) etc. of enterprise engineering projects. The present document is a first attempt to do this.
