About the TOGAF White Papers
The TOGAF White Papers comprise a body of knowledge about TOGAF contributed both by
members and non-members of The Open Group Architecture Forum, for the benefit of TOGAF
users world-wide.
They do not form part of the TOGAF documentation set, and in particular they are not
approved by The Open Group formal adoption processes and do not represent the formal
consensus of The Open Group Architecture Forum.
For that reason they are made available from this informational web site, separate from
the main TOGAF documentation. They are not linked-to from the TOGAF documentation, and
they are not included in the TOGAF downloads available elsewhere from this web site.
However, White Papers do go through a review process to determine their relevance,
usefulness, and suitability for publication as a TOGAF White Paper. (See Approval Mechanism below for details.)
If you are interested in submitting a TOGAF White Paper for inclusion on this site,
please contact the the Architecture Forum documentation team. You can download a template
from here.
Format
White Papers are made available in HTML and/or PDF format. Other proprietary formats
(e.g., MS-Word) are accepted in addition to, but not in place of, one of the above.
Papers submitted for publication are reviewed by the active membership of The Open
Group Architecture Forum and The Open Group corporate staff. Reasons for non-approval
include:
- Irrelevance to TOGAF
- Unacceptable conditions / encumbrances (restrictions on the use and reproduction of the
material in the paper)
- Unacceptable format (HTML or PDF required)
- Legally unacceptable content (potentially defamatory statements, etc.)
Use of White Papers
Unless otherwise noted within the White Paper, TOGAF White Papers may be used and reproduced freely, provided the copyright of the
originator, and their source as a TOGAF White Paper, are acknowledged.

ArchiMate Extension for Modeling the TOGAF Implementation and Migration Phases
By
Henk Jonkers, Harmen van den Berg, Maria-Eugenia Iacob, and Dick Quartel
In this White Paper, we propose an extension of ArchiMate that is aimed at the implementation and migration phases (Phases E, F, and G) of the ADM. This includes concepts such as implementation programs and projects, plateaus (e.g., to model Baseline, Target, and Transition Architectures as defined in TOGAF), and gaps. Also, we specify how these concepts may be related to the ArchiMate core and motivation extension concepts.

TOGAF™ ADM/MDA® Synergy Project , Final Report
By
Chris Armstrong, President, Armstrong Process Group, Inc.,
Judith Cerenzia, TEAMS Program Manager, Penn State University,
Ed Harrington, Executive VP & COO, Model Driven Solutions,
Pete Rivett, Chief Technology Officer, Adaptive, Inc.,
Fred Waskiewicz, Director of Standards, Object Management Group
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.

Guide to Security Architecture in TOGAF ADM
David Jackson, IBM
Michael Barrett, Johnson & Johnson
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.

TOGAF / MDA Mapping
Pete Rivett, CTO, Adaptive Inc.
John Spencer, Director, The Open Group Architecture Forum
Fred Waskiewicz, OMG Director of Standards
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.

A Real Options Perspective to Enterprise Architecture as an
Investment Activity
Pallab Saha, Institute of Systems Science, National University of Singapore
The ever-increasing expenditure on information technology (IT) is accompanied by an
increasing demand to measure the business value of the investment. This has prompted
enterprises to take an architectural view of their information systems (IS) and supporting
technologies. However, many crucial enterprise architecture frameworks and guidelines are
characterized by lack of adequate theoretical or conceptual foundations. Important but
inadequately formulated concepts include architectural assessments, governance and
architecture maturity models. These, though central to the enterprise architecture
development process, remain in their current formulations largely wisdom driven rather
than engineering based approaches. Absence of adequate scientific or mathematical
foundations for enterprise design and engineering significantly impede enterprise
architecture initiatives. The current body of knowledge is limited to reference
architectures where the implementation challenges are left to the enterprises themselves.
This paper views enterprise architecture development as largely a process of decision
making under uncertainty and incomplete knowledge. Taking value maximization as the
primary objective of the enterprise architecture decision-making process, the paper
attempts to develop guidelines for value enhancement. The paper assumes that portion of
the value of enterprise architecture initiative is in the form of embedded options (real
options), which provide architects with valuable flexibility to change plans, as
uncertainties are resolved over time. Plausibility of using such an approach to develop a
better account of critical enterprise architecture practice is focused on three areas:
- The timing of critical architectural decisions;
- Architecture development for adaptability and change; and
- Phased approach to enterprise architecture maturity enhancement.

Analyzing The Open Group Architecture Framework from the GERAM
Perspective
Pallab Saha, Institute of Systems Science, National University of Singapore
This paper analyzes The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) Enterprise Edition and
its mapping onto the Generalized Enterprise Reference Architecture and Methodology (GERAM)
framework / ISO IS 15704:2000 requirements. The analysis compares and contrasts these
frameworks on multiple aspects that include: life cycle phases, temporality and
succession, modeling frameworks, modeling languages, methodologies, entity types and
reference models. The paper then discusses the role of TOGAF in the context of GERAM
compliant enterprise architecture development including suggestions for issues and areas
to be addressed.Keywords: Enterprise Engineering; Enterprise Modeling; Technical
