Abstract:The process of enterprise architecture (EA) is divided into strategic IT planning, EA development and EA implementation phases, respectively. Each phase is a prerequisite to the following phase. If the enterprise architecture planning (EAP) is not properly formulated during this process, its implementation would face problems and consequently a large amount of time and money would be wasted. EAP should be redefined to solve this issue. Definition of a method for the evaluation of EAP before the implementation of EA can be very useful in avoiding money and time loss caused by inappropriate EAP. A variety of methods are proposed around the world for evaluating EA but none of them can define and evaluate it in enterprises with uncertain processes or data. This research aims to present a new method for evaluating the reliability of EA while processes or data are uncertain. To achieve this goal, the products of fuzzy enterprise architecture (FEA) which demonstrate the behavior and sequence of processes and details of the enterprise are converted into fuzzy Petri nets. Afterwards, reliability evaluation is performed with fuzzy Petri nets which are executable models. In this method, uncertain processes and events can be easily modeled and evaluated. Therefore, the model proposed in this research is considered as a new method in EA. This method is executable and can be used in EA three-stage process.

The fuzzy object oriented database model is often used to handle the existing imprecise and complicated objects for many real-world applications. The main focus of this paper is on fuzzy queries and tries to analyze a complicated and complex query to get more meaningful and closer responses. The method permits the user to provide the possibility of allocating the weight to various parts of the query, which makes it easier to follow better goals and return the target objects.

Developing an Enterprise Architecture is a complex task and to control the complexity of the regulatory framework we need to measure the relative performance of one system against other available systems. On the other hand, enterprise architecture cannot be organized without the use of a logical structure. The framework provides a logical structure for classifying architectural output. Among the common architectural framework, the C4ISR framework and methodology of the product is one of the most popular techniques. In this paper, given the existing uncertainties in system development and information systems, a new version of UML called Fuzzy-UML is proposed for enterprise architecture development based on fuzzy Petri nets. In addition, the performance of the system is also evaluated based on Fuzzy sequence diagram.
