The ArchiMate(R) Specification, a standard of The Open Group, defines an open and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture that is supported by different tool vendors and consulting firms. The ArchiMate language enables Enterprise Architects to describe, analyze, and visualize the relationships among business domains in an unambiguous way. This book is the official specification of the ArchiMate 3.1 modeling language from The Open Group. This edition of the standard includes a number of corrections, clarifications, and improvements to the previous edition, as well as several additions. The main changes between Version 3.0.1 and Version 3.1 of the ArchiMate Specification are listed below. In addition to these changes, various other minor improvements in definitions and other wording have been made: Introduced a new strategy element: value stream Added an optional directed notation for the association relationship Improved the organization of the metamodel and associated figures Further improved and formalized the derivation of relationships The intended audience is threefold: 1.Enterprise Architecture practitioners, such as architects (e.g., business, application, information, process, infrastructure, and, obviously, enterprise architects), senior and operational management, project leaders, and anyone committed to work within the reference framework defined by the Enterprise Architecture. 2.Those who intend to implement the ArchiMate language in a software tool; they will find a complete and detailed description of the language in this book. - The academic community, on which we rely for amending and improving the language, based on state-of-the-art research results in the Enterprise Architecture field.

The ArchiMate® Specification, an Open Group Standard, defines an open and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture that is supported by different tool vendors and consulting firms. The ArchiMate language enables Enterprise Architects to describe, analyze, and visualize the relationships among business domains in an unambiguous way. This book is the official specification of the ArchiMate 3.0.1 modeling language from The Open Group. ArchiMate 3.0.1 is a minor update to ArchiMate 3.0, containing the set of corrections from ArchiMate 3.0 Technical Corrigendum No. 1 (U172). This addresses inconsistencies and errors identified since the publication of Version 3.0 in June 2016. The ArchiMate Specification supports modeling throughout the TOGAF® Architecture Development Method (ADM). New features in Version 3 include elements for modeling the enterprise at a strategic level, such as capability, resource, and outcome. It also includes support to model the physical world of materials and equipment. Furthermore, the consistency and structure of the language have been improved, definitions have been aligned with other standards, and its usability has been enhanced in various other ways. The intended audience is threefold: • Enterprise Architecture practitioners, such as architects (e.g., business, application, information, process, infrastructure, and, obviously, enterprise architects), senior and operational management, project leaders, and anyone committed to work within the reference framework defined by the Enterprise Architecture. • Those who intend to implement the ArchiMate language in a software tool; they will find a complete and detailed description of the language in this book. • The academic community, on which we rely for amending and improving the language, based on state-of-the-art research results in the Enterprise Architecture field.

Hybrid Nanofluids for Convection Heat Transfer discusses how to maximize heat transfer rates with the addition of nanoparticles into conventional heat transfer fluids. The book addresses definitions, preparation techniques, thermophysical properties and heat transfer characteristics with mathematical models, performance-affecting factors, and core applications with implementation challenges of hybrid nanofluids. The work adopts mathematical models and schematic diagrams in review of available experimental methods. It enables readers to create new techniques, resolve existing research problems, and ultimately to implement hybrid nanofluids in convection heat transfer applications. - Provides key heat transfer performance and thermophysical characteristics of hybrid nanofluids - Reviews parameter selection and property measurement techniques for thermal performance calibration - Explores the use of predictive mathematical techniques for experimental properties

Nitride Phosphors and Solid-State Lighting provides an in-depth introduction to the crystal chemistry, synthesis, luminescence, and applications of phosphor materials for solid-state lighting, mainly focusing on new nitride phosphors. Drawing on their extensive experimental work, the authors offer a multidisciplinary study of phosphor materials tha

Volume II: 1862-1873 contains texts which illuminate Maxwell's scientific maturity. In this period he wrote the classic works on field physics and statistical molecular theory which established his unique status in the history of science. His important correspondence with Thomson and Tait provides remarkable insight into the major themes of his physics.

This title is a Study Guide preparing for the ArchiMate 2 Part 1 and 2 Examinations. It gives an overview of every learning objective for the ArchiMate certification syllabus and in-depth coverage on preparing and taking the ArchiMate 2 Examinations. It is specifically designed to help individuals prepare for certification.This Study Guide is excellent material for: Individuals who require a basic understanding of the ArchiMate modeling language; Professionals who are working in roles associated with an architecture project and who need to understand architecture artefacts developed using the ArchiMate modelling language; Individuals who want to achieve a recognized qualification to demonstrate their knowledge of the ArchiMate modelling language.A prior knowledge of Enterprise Architecture and architecture modelling is advantageous but not required. While reading this Study Guide, the reader should refer to the ArchiMate Version 2.1 Specification (manual), available as hard copy and eBook, from www.vanharen.net and online booksellers, and also available online at www.opengroup.org.
