“…Spence et al, 53 Hjalmarsson et al, 54 and Lagerström and Johnson 55 use EA to improve the cost and risk estimation of migration projects, with migration regarded as part of the maintenance process according to SWEBOK. Hjalmarsson et al 54 employ a specialized ArchiMate construct to support COCOMO in order to estimate migration project costs.…”

“…On the other hand, Spence et al 53 use a TOGAF‐based EA description combined with heatmaps. They studied maintenance‐related obsolescence risks and found in three different case studies that organizations with a certain level of EA maturity will find it easier to analyze these risks by using this approach.…”

“…Among the different contributions of the proposal, risk management is addressed from an EA perspective, as it applies to all processes of an enterprise. Spence et al 53 use EA descriptions based on TOGAF and other tools to specifically analyze obsolescence risks. In the section regarding lessons learnt, the authors conclude that organizations with a certain degree of EA maturity will find it easier to analyze these risks and successfully use this approach in three different case studies.…”

“…For many firms, this helps to solve the problem of maintaining their "as-is" AD, since new projects continually alter the architecture in place. In addition, it should provide architects with a working tool to create future AD and to evaluate whether future scenarios are appropriate for changing projects, thus assisting management activities like those described in Jamr oz et al 3 and Spence et al 53 Knowledge management is another important aspect of SE management. For example, Naranjo et al 62 have improved the learning phase in software factory environments.…”

Enterprise architecture is a growing trend that aims to help deal with the complexity of socio‐technical systems such as human organizations, as well as their information technology and systems areas. Nevertheless, the contribution of enterprise architecture to the field of software engineering remains unclear. The purpose of this systematic literature review is to see how enterprise architecture is used in software development and maintenance practice. To this end, we first carried out a search in the SCOPUS database and then organized the papers according to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge to determine what areas of software engineering are covered by each research study. To understand how enterprise architecture is used, we established a classification based on ISO 42010 and TOGAF. From the systematic literature review, we noticed that the early stages of development are the most impacted by the enterprise architecture. On the other hand, we observed that enterprise architecture is of assistance in the areas of engineering management, engineering processes, and engineering models and methods; these tasks are carried out by teams or managers using different, often agile, development methods or standards. In turn, we found that the most common categories are architecture descriptions; these are often used to facilitate communication and information‐sharing between different stakeholders, in addition to frameworks, which will help to establish common practices in the organization related to the joint use of enterprise architecture and software development.

“…during the R&D phase that precedes value generation. Alternatively, products are developed to keep on encouraging new buying impulses, as in processes of planned obsolescence (Slade, 2007;Spence, Michell & Spence, 2012). At the same time, value realisation is not necessarily an act of exchange at a particular point in time, but instead is often a highly complex process.…”

This paper challenges the dominant discourse that the Internet is changing the economy dramatically. In a context where digitised value creation is spreading, it critiques the economically- inspired diagnosis of a fundamentally changed Internet economy from a sociological perspective and establishes that the available economic data do not justify this prognosis. It next critically discusses current research into Web-related value creation, starting with a classic and generic definition of the concept. It then suggests a new conceptual approach to the relationship between Web and value, drawing a clear disticntion between value generation and value realisation and differentiating both along the offline/online and commodities/commons dimensions. By means of these steps, the paper concludes that human labour remains the key source both of value origination and of value realisation processes, even in the Web 2.0 Internet economy.
