Abstract

A number of frameworks suggest artifacts and practices to develop the components of Enterprise Architecture (EA). However, when analyzing the representations proposed, several concerns are scattered and tangled within the essential elements. It harms reuse, making it difficult both to understand and maintain the EA representations. In order to address this issue, we present a method to identify and represent the crosscutting concerns at an Enterprise Architecture level. The solution is based on Enterprise Ontology and Aspect-Oriented approaches. A case study was performed in an organization to evaluate the proposal.
