SONA is a conceptual framework that illustrates how, when built upon a resilient network foundation, network-based services such as security, mobility, and application delivery can be leveraged by applications to enable innovative business solutions. This White Paper presents an overview of Cisco SONA and the role it plays in enterprise IT architectures such as that defined by TOGAF.

This white paper addresses some of the commonalities and inter-relationships between Enterprise Architecture (EA) and IT Service Management (ITSM).

This White Paper is the final report on the TOGAF ADM/MDA Synergy Project to the members of its three participating organizations (OMG, Integration Consortium, and The Open Group), conveying the progress made by the Synergy Project participants and presenting the final Synergy Project results and deliverables.

This White Paper documents the Torpedo Enterprise Advanced Modeling and Simulation (TEAMS) initiative in the TOGAF ADM/MDA Synergy Project, which demonstrates the viability of using OMG specifications to describe Open Group standards. The Synergy Project first developed a formal process model, which laid the foundation for mapping ADM work products to elements of OMG specifications. TEAMS verified this mapping by formalizing an enterprise architecture, documenting business processes and requirements, and achieving a business-driven technology solution. The result demonstrates how the synergy of the TOGAF ADM/MDA technologies added value and enabled TEAMS to achieve their end product.

This White Paper sets out the understanding that has been reached by the SOA Working Group of SOA and its relation to enterprise architecture, and in particular to TOGAF, in order to communicate that understanding to the rest of The Open Group and to the IT industry at large, and to provide a basis for the further development of the work program of the SOA Working Group.

This document provides a detailed mapping of TOGAF 8.1 with COBIT 4.0 and also contains the classification of the standards discussed in this publication, as presented in the overview document COBIT Mapping: Overview of International IT Guidance, 2nd Edition. This mapping helps enterprise architects and auditors using the COBIT framework to consider the requirements and value-add of The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) 8.1, and vice versa.

This White Paper is available as two parts in separate documents.

Part I contains the actual TOGAF 8.1/COBIT 4.0 mapping. The research supporting the mapping is available in Part II (Doc. No. W072A) and consists of the following appendices:

• Appendix 1: Plan and Organize
• Appendix 2: Acquire and Implement
• Appendix 3: Deliver and Support
• Appendix 4: Monitor and Evaluate
• Appendix 5: Harmonization of Terms and Concepts

This White Paper discusses the role of Torpedo Enterprise Advanced Modeling and Simulation (TEAMS) in the TOGAF ADM/MDA Synergy Project, which is demonstrating the viability of using OMG specifications to describe Open Group standards. The Synergy Project first developed a formal process model, which laid the foundation for mapping ADM work products to elements of OMG specifications. TEAMS verified this mapping by formalizing an enterprise architecture, documenting business processes and requirements, and achieving a business-driven technology solution. The result demonstrates how the synergy of the TOGAF ADM/MDA technologies added value and enabled TEAMS to achieve their end product.

This White Paper considers how the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) can be used together, with a detailed comparison and mapping between the two.

This document presents the results of an industry working group's analysis of the relationships between The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) and the US Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF). Complementary areas between the two are also identified.

The goal of this White Paper is to explain what security considerations need to be addressed in the TOGAF ADM for the guidance of enterprise architects and system designers. 

Its primary purpose is as input to the Architecture Forum, for integrating security considerations into their development of the next version of TOGAF (designated TOGAF9). We also anticipate it will be of value to system architects and designers who include information security considerations in their designs.

This White Paper is one of a series of documents produced by a unique collaboration between three leading consortia in the IT industry: The Integration Consortium; OMG; and The Open Group.

Building on an earlier White Paper published jointly by OMG and The Open Group, this White Paper provides a mapping between two sets of industry standards - the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) for Enterprise Architecture, developed by The Open Group's Architecture Forum; and OMG's Model Driven Architecture® (MDA) family of modeling standards. The Integration Consortium intends to use this mapping as the basis of its own Global Integration Framework (GIF), and has performed the crucial role of user of the TOGAF/MDA mapping in this collaborative effort.

• The timing of critical architectural decisions;
• Architecture development for adaptability and change; and
• Phased approach to enterprise architecture maturity enhancement.
