SUMMARY:

An Enterprise Architecture (EA) represents the fundamental organization of business processes and Information Technology (IT) infrastructure, serving to capture the essentiality of the business, IT and its evolution, being relevant to protecting the business and maintaining the flexibility and adaptability of the organization.
An enterprise architecture is formed by levels such as: the strategic, tactical and IT operational levels. Each level, in turn, has distinct computational models, such as strategic models (strategic level), business process models (tactical level) and systems requirements models (IT operational level).
In the context of enterprise architecture modeling, the state of the art presents some gaps such as: (i) the lack of traceability of the elements present in the computational models that make up the EA levels or the visualization, in a poorly understandable way, of the chain of elements that relate; and (ii) the lack of synchronization between the computational models of the strategic, tactical and operational IT levels.
Among the negative impacts related to these problems, one can list, for example, the obsolescence of models and the difficulty of carrying out impact analysis and, consequently, decision making, in scenarios of organizational changes.
In this scenario, this thesis address the problems of lack of traceability and synchronization of strategic models, business processes and information systems requirements of an enterprise architecture.
Thus, in order to provide a reduction or elimination of the negative impacts caused by these problems, an approach is proposed to promote the traceability and synchronization of the computational models of an AE. The proposed approach consists of: (i) a set of meta-models, representing the strategic, tactical and operational levels of the EA; (ii) a traceability model that supports configuration and change management through the use of COBIT and ITIL best practices; and (iii) a synchronization framework that uses the model-driven development (MDD) techniques.
The purpose of the proposal is to keep the computational models traceable and updated, allowing: (i) support for visualization and understanding of how a set of models and their elements are related; (ii) support for impact analysis and decision making in change scenarios; (iii) to necessary support to avoid the obsolescence of the models; and (iv) the creation and maintenance of the strategic alignment of the business with IT.
To evaluate the work, a survey was carried out, in the corporate context of the public and private sphere, which obtained 51 valid responses. The research was not limited to professionals in the area of information technology, but also involved professionals from strategic and administrative areas. The survey results showed that the proposed approach is understandable, useful and contributes to keeping the models traceable, up-to-date and consistent, as well as enabling the performance of impact analyzes and the strategic alignment of the business with IT.
