Assessment: Report

Assessment Details:

This assessment is designed to assess develop your skills in Enterprise Architecture (EA). You are required to develop knowledge on EA methodology, EA Framework, data model and emerging EA. In completing this assessment successfully, you will be able to know major widely accepted Enterprise Architecture (EA) domains, layers, frameworks and governance, which will help in achieving ULO-1, ULO-2, ULO-3, ULO-4, ULO-5, and ULO-6, this in turn will help you in achieving CLO-1, CLO-2, CLO-4, CLO-7, and CLO-9, which collectively with other unit learning outcomes will help in achieving GA-2, GA-3, and GA-12.

Report 1.1 (Case Study)

Read the case study for the medical clinic or the Johnson and Johnson case study (See the Case Study on the resource folder) and answer the following questions:

• What are the main problems for the organisation?

• What solutions do you propose to help solve these problems?

• Examine the Zachman Framework. How would you apply this to the case study?

Report 1.2 (Frameworks for Enterprise Architecture)

• See the ppt on EA for University of Newcastle from the resource folder and answer the following question:

What processes were proposed for EA?

• Compare the frameworks for EA- Zachman, TOGAF, FEA, and Gartner
• Read the journal article by Kistasamy, C and Alta Van Der Merwe.... To examine the
relationship between EA and SOA.

Report 1.3 (ERD diagram)

Entity relationship diagrams provide a visual starting point for database design that can also be used to help determine information system requirements throughout an organization.

Prepare detailed ERD diagram for the given i) Milk dairy and ii) Quikfix Electronics case studies (See the case study from the resource folder).

Report 1.4 (Journal articles review)

EA and Big data:

Read the journal article by Brain H. Cameron from the resource folder .... The Need for
Enterprise Architecture for Enterprise-Wide Big Data. Consider the following questions:

• What are the root causes behind the failure of big data projects?
• How Enterprise Architecture can support successful big data project implementation?

EA and Cloud computing:

Read the conference article from the resource folder by L. Aureli...Enterprise Architectures
for Cloud Computing. Consider the following question:

• Identify the important recommendations deal with application security and encryption.

Report Presentation Style and Writing

Consolidate and compile all your previous efforts from Report 1.1 to 1.4 into a DOC or DOCX report. You should attempt at your best to reflect this quality in the preparation of the report.

Assessment 4: Tutorial Participation and Submission

Assessment Details:
Different exercises assess students' ability to understand theoretical materials on a weekly basis. Students will be given simple activities each week and will be required to provide answers and achieve identified outcomes.

Students will not be assessed on work that the tutor has not seen them produce in class so that attendance is required as part of this assessment. Students are required to submit the work that they have completed during the tutorial session. The details of the tutorial work and requirements are provided on the online learning system.
