An MDA-Based Generic Framework to Address Various Aspects of Enterprise Architecture

- With a trend toward becoming more and more information based, enterprises constantly attempt to surpass the accomplishments of each other by improving their information activities. Building an Enterprise Architecture (EA) undoubtedly serves as a fundamental concept to accomplish this goal. EA typically encompasses an overview of the entire information system in an enterprise, including the software, hardware, and information architectures.
