Abstract: This paper sketches an approach to designing organization-specific information models for Enterprise Architecture (EA) Management based on patterns. Thus we intend to support the construction of EA Management information models in research and practice, a field we view in need of approaches to manage the complexity of such models. Contributing to this complexity are the wide spread domains (e.g. processes, technical architecture, strategic issues) that are involved in EA Management. Moreover, this complexity burdens in practice both using existing information models and creating a new information model. This necessitates approaches to manage this complexity. Our contribution in this respect lies in the introduction of patterns into the field of EA Management information models. Thereby, other approaches, as e.g. structuring the information models into layers, are complemented by the possibility to reuse pre-existing solutions to address EA Management issues. 1 Motivation The following article identifies problems in approaches currently pursued in designing information models supporting EA Management and presents a solution based on composing such information models from patterns. Subsequently, we rely on the following definition of EA Management, which is in accordance to [ELSW06]: ”EA Management is a continuous and iterative process controlling and improving the existing and planned information technology (IT) support for an organization. The process not only considers the IT of the enterprise, but also business processes, business goals, strategies, etc. Munich Hamburg Garching Online Shop (100) Inventory Control System (200) Monetary Transactions System (Germany) (300) Product Shipment System (Germany) (400) Accounting System (500) Costing System (600) Human Resources System (700) Data Warehouse (800) Fleet Management System (900) Business Traveling System (1000) Document Management System (1100) Supplier Relationship Management System (1200) MIS (1300) Financial Planning System (1400) POS System (Germany/Munich) (1600) Campaign Management System (1500) POS System (Germany/ Hamburg) (1620) Price Tag Printing System (Germany/ Munich) (1700) Price Tag Printing System (Germany/ Hamburg) (1720) Worktime Management (Germany/Munich) (1800) Worktime Management (Germany/ Hamburg) (1820) Customer Relationship Management System (2100) Map Symbols Visualization Rules Legend
