Kokonaisarkkitehtuurin laadun ja kypsyystason yhteys

Tässä opinnäytetyössä tarkastellaan, onko kokonaisarkkitehtuurin kypsyystasolla ja kokonaisarkkitehtuurituotteen laadulla keskinäistä yhteyttä. Tämän selvittämiseksi valittiin kirjallisuuslähteistä ne artikkelit, joissa kokonaisarkkitehtuurin laatua tutkitaan laatuattribuuttien (quality attributes) kautta. Näiden artikkeleiden perusteella muodostettiin kahdeksan laatuattribuuttia. Näiden laatuattribuuttien kuvauksia verrattiin kolmen kypsyysmallin (JHKA:n kypsyystasomalli, EAMM, DyAMM) kypsyystasokuvauksiin. Näin haluttiin selvittää, kuuluvatko laatuattribuutit tietyille kypsyystasoille. Tämän tarkastelun perusteella näyttää siltä, että kokonaisarkkitehtuurituotteen laadulla ja kypsyystasolla on keskinäinen yhteys. Suurin osa laatuattribuuteista on mahdollista sijoittaa kuvausten perusteella tietyille kypsyystasoille. Tämän aineiston perusteella ei pystytty kuitenkaan selvittämään, onko kokonaisarkkitehtuurin kypsyydellä ja laadulla toistensa kanssa vaikutussuhdetta.This thesis examines if there is a relationship between the enterprise architecture maturity and the quality of the enterprise architecture product. To find this out, literature articles were selected from articles in which the quality of the enterprise architecture is studied through quality attributes. Based on these articles, eight quality attributes were created. The descriptions of these quality attributes were compared to the maturity descriptions of the three selected maturity models (JHKA´s Maturity Model, EAMM, DyAMM). This was to find out whether the quality attributes belong to certain maturity levels. Based on this review, it seems that there is a mutual link between the enterprise architecture product quality and the maturity level. It is possible to place most of the quality attributes to certain maturity levels based on their descriptions. However, based on this material, it was not possible to find out if the maturity of enterprise architecture and the quality of enterprise architecture influences each other

The Orientation Of Strophomenid Brachiopods On Soft Substrates

Strophomenid brachiopods have long been interpreted as ‘‘snowshoe’’ strategists, with their flattened concavoconvex valves providing resistance to foundering in very soft sediments. There has been a sharp difference of opinion in whether the shells were oriented with their convex or their concave surface in contact with the sediment. This study, along with independent evidence from sedimentology, ichnology, and morphology, indicates that the strophomenids lived with their shells concave down (convex up). Experiments indicate the force required to push shells into soft cohesive muds is much greater for the convex up than for the convex down orientation. Forces also increase with shell curvature. All measured forces greatly exceed estimates of the downward force exerted by the weight of the shell, indicating that foundering resistance may not have been the key functional requirement. Instead, a convex up orientation would have provided resistance to overturning in currents, in particular if the valves gaped widely. The ‘‘snowshoe’’ may not be the relevant paradigm for the shell morphology of these forms. An alternative is that they functioned more as a tip-resistant base, similar to those of garden umbrellas or stanchions
