Enterprise architecture view of complex system governance

Enterprise architecture view of complex system governance Enterprises are participating in more complex system-of-systems contexts in order to meet increasing customer demands that require them to share environments and collaborate with multiple other enterprises. Enterprise architecture traditionally presents detailed system architectural views, where their use benefits system designers and developers, and focuses on the value of employing system technical characterisations and utilisations. This paper explores the concept of governance architecture and associated characteristics needed to meet challenges in governing complex systems. Grounded in the viable systems model, we present a set of initial implications for complex system governance concerning the relationship between the metasystem and governed system(s). It is expected these implications will shape a governance architecture framework as a next step.

Abstract

Enterprises are participating in more complex system-of-systems contexts in order to meet increasing customer demands that require them to share environments and collaborate with multiple other enterprises. Enterprise architecture traditionally presents detailed system architectural views, where their use benefits system designers and developers, and focuses on the value of employing system technical characterisations and utilisations. This paper explores the concept of governance architecture and associated characteristics needed to meet challenges in governing complex systems. Grounded in the viable systems model, we present a set of initial implications for complex system governance concerning the relationship between the metasystem and governed system(s). It is expected these implications will shape a governance architecture framework as a next step. Keywords: enterprise architecture; architectural view; complex system governance; metasystem; system of systems; SoS; governance architecture; model-based systems engineering; MBSE; agent-based model; ABM. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Carter, B., Moorthy, S. and Walters, D. (2016) `Enterprise architecture view of complex system governance', Int. J.
