Explore the application layer of the Archimate framework, detailing active, behavior, and passive elements and how the application interface, service, component, process, function, and event relate to the data object.

Examine how application layer elements such as interface, service, function or process, component, collaboration, event, and data object connect through aggregation, composition, and core relationships defined by the Archimate metamodel.

Identify how an application component realizes a service through internal behavior elements and interfaces, and how application collaborations aggregate components to enable collective behavior.

Model automated behavior with application function, process, event, interaction, and service, and learn how components, application collaborations, and data objects realize and expose behavior in an e-commerce scenario.

Explains how the Archimate data object represents the logic of information in the application layer as a high level abstraction, guiding data flow between application processes.

Practice modeling an application layer scenario in Archie to identify the involved elements, then analyze the case with exam-style scoring to prepare for practitioner-level questions.

Explore the technology layer in Archimate, following the pattern of active structure elements, internal behavior, and services across layers. Learn how a node delivers technology services via a technology interface.

Explore the technology layer and metamodel, where a node's device and system software realize services, and paths and networks connect nodes, devices, and artifacts.

Explore how technology elements in the Archi metamodel perform behavior, from nodes and devices to system software, technology interfaces, and collaborations.

Explore how technology behavior is modeled in Archimate by linking external technology services to internal functions, processes, interactions, and events, through assignments, triggers, flows, and access to artifacts.

Identify technology objects as abstract placeholders and artifacts as concrete data accessed by system software, deployment, or execution in IT operations.

Model the technology layer in Archi by reading a scenario, building the diagram, and selecting the best matching solution, mirroring practitioner-level exam questions.

Evaluate Archimate diagrams for a multi-server firewall scenario, selecting the model that accurately assigns system software to physical servers, includes artifacts and authenticator workflows, and uses LAN connections.

Explore the Archimate physical layer below the technology layer, focusing on physical elements and environment, where interfaces and services are absent and active structure elements govern behavior and passive elements.

Examine the physical layer metamodel, identifying material, equipment, facility, and distribution network as core elements and their relation to the technology layer and network paths.

Explore how active structure elements in the physical layer model equipment, facilities, and distribution networks that transform and transport materials, linking equipment to technology processes and to materials.

Explore passive structure elements in the physical layer, focusing on materials and distribution networks, how equipment manipulates raw materials to assemble and package instruments, with a trucking distribution flow.

Explore cross-layer relationships in Archimate to align the business layer with the application and technology layers, including how data objects realize business objects and services connect actors and processes.

Align the application and technology layers by showing artifacts realizing data objects. See how technology services and interfaces serve upper layers and artifacts deploy components such as ear files.

Explore how Archimate patterns bridge business and application layers, linking business services, interfaces, roles, and objects with application components and data objects, then visualize technology services serving multiple applications.

Explore cross-layer relationships in a real order management model. See how receive order, check inventory, package, and ship to the customer, all via the order manager and data order.

Explore how TOGAF-guided migration models transform the enterprise from baseline to target architecture, using the Archimate implementation and migration layer to plan movement.

Explore the migration layer in the Archimate-based EA framework, including its metamodel, work packages, deliverables, implementation events, plateaus, and gaps for planning transitions from baseline to target architectures.

Define and model a work package to guide project execution with goals, resources, start and end dates, and deliverables, showing how it links to packages and implementation events in Archimate.

Explore how a work package produces a deliverable, an output like software or reports, and how an implementation event triggers or interrupts work packages in a software deployment.

Use plateaus to snapshot the architecture at a point in time and plan transitions from baseline to target across business, information systems, and technology layers with Archimate.

Relate migration-layer elements to other layers in Archimate using aggregation, composition, and realization to connect plateaus, deliverables, requirements, and goals for enterprise architecture traceability.

This lecture explains how a roadmap guides migrating from a baseline to a target architecture through phased plateaus, detailing CRM, financial, legal, and notification components and their dependencies.

Explore Archimate's cross-layer dependencies and derived relationships, and define views and viewpoints to address stakeholders' concerns, aligning technology and business elements in practice.

Explore derived relationships in Archimate, using rules to abstract direct connections, such as a component realizing a service, guided by a priority: composition, aggregation, assignment, realization, serving, access, influence.

Learn the abstraction rule for deriving relationships, selecting the weakest link to relate a to c, and apply it to core elements across business, application, and technology layers.

Derivation rule derives flows and derived relationships from C to B when a C to A structural relationship and an A to B flow exist.

Explore derived triggering relationships in Archimate, where a triggers d through c, and use transitivity to relate a to c via b. Use abstraction to simplify diagrams for executives.

Explore views and viewpoints in Archimate, showing how viewpoints define allowed elements and relationships to tailor diagrams for stakeholders, and how compliant and non-compliant views illustrate achieving specific goals.

Explore how Archimate defines a system of collaborating elements pursuing goals, identify a system of interests and stakeholders, and connect concerns with architecture views, viewpoints, and the driver in motivation.

Master the Archimate viewpoint mechanism by defining viewpoints with purpose (deciding, designing, informing), level of abstraction, and by selecting elements and relationships from the Archimate metamodel to address stakeholder goals.

Explore Archimate viewpoint mechanism and three purposes: designing, deciding, and informing; and how viewpoint content levels (overview, coherence, detailed) guide stakeholder needs and compliant models.

Master archimate modeling via four layered exercises—motivation, business, implementation and migration, and physical—using a base file with elements and properties (id, name, date created, date modified) and views.

Model the enterprise architecture with Archi 5.2 part 2 by building business function and business process views for seven functions and the sell car process.

Model an end-to-end order workflow from inventory check and acceptance notifications through customer response, payment, manufacturing, packaging, shipment, and final pickup.

Model migration from baseline to target architecture using an archimate migration view, detailing work packages, deliverables, and the transition plan for the orders management service.

Explore the baseline architecture, use the visualizer to map element relationships, then plan steps to migrate to a target architecture with separate layers, a unified database, and an app-to-app interface.

Create a migration project in Archi with a project view, detailing work packages—requirements management, analysis, design, construction, tests, and launch—and deliverables such as a unified database, application interface, and documentation.

Model the physical layer by detailing technology functions, read relationships, and material inputs (cables, metals, plastics, transistors) across Berlin, Frankfurt, and Munich facilities, leading to assembling and packaging.
