- The Four-Domain Architecture: An Approach to Support Enterprise Architecture Design
- Managing an enterprise architecture is a challenging task. While careful planning typically goes into its design, an enterprise architecture actually emerges as a result of implementing individual projects. It is this de facto architecture, not the conceptual one, that provides the capabilities for executing business strategies, and understanding this emergent...

- Lessons Learned in Applying Architecture to the Acquisition of Air Force Command and Control Systems
- The extension of architecture use into system design has been somewhat less successful - largely due to the fact the contractors' existing processes have not traditionally been architecture-based. Further study on how to incorporate architecture data into existing development processes will be needed to make improvements in this area. Architecture...
