Nowadays, in addition to those two elements, challenges are becoming more and more numerous and unavoidable. Saying a few, global warming, social responsibilities, Covid 19, digital transformation{\textellipsis} We are living in a new era that is highly volatile and unpredictable. We don{\textquoteright}t have anymore the privilege to choose threats and opportunities that we want to adapt to. In fact adaptation becomes a necessity to survive in this highly competitive and dynamic environment. Factors coming from those challenges externally on top of internal ones can impact various parts of the enterprise in the form of changes. Thus, Adaptive Enterprise Architecture (EA) is leveraged to assist the continuous adaptation to the evolving transformation. On the other hand, one of the criteria of Adaptive EA is the ability to monitor and control the complexity of changes. In this paper, we suggest a mixed approach of EA complexity measurement based on quantitative and qualitative analysis. First, we begin with a recap of the criteria shaping our Adaptive Enterprise Architecture approach and we give an overview of the model that we worked on in previous work. Then we investigate related work about complexity and subjective measurement. Finally, we describe our mixed approach of assessment of complexity and we focus on the calculation of some objective and subjective metrics. {\textcopyright} 2022, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.}, keywords = {Adaptation, Adaptive enterprise, Complexity, Complexity measurement, Complexity metrics, Dynamic environments, enterprise architecture, Evaluation methods, Global warming, Memory architecture, Mixed approach, Social responsibilities}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-08965-7_26}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85135013677\&doi=10.1007\%2f978-3-031-08965-7_26\&partnerID=40\&md5=0f86e1df30e1a710a67e90c0238de8f1}, author = {Daoudi, W. and Doumi, K. and Kjiri, L.} } @conference {Ettahiri2022714, title = {Dynamic Enterprise Architecture planning using case-based reasoning and blockchain}, booktitle = {Procedia Computer Science}, volume = {204}, year = {2022}, note = {cited By 0}, pages = {714-721}, abstract = {Nowadays, Enterprises are aware that the only existing certainty, is a future of great uncertainty (Allen Paulos).

So, to implement any change, we propose using CBR for case-based reasoning to store a set of problems with their solutions, and then to use algorithms of similarity and adaptation to propose the most adapted solution to the problem. Our goal in this paper is to maximize experiences and enrich the knowledge base so that the reasoning mechanism and similarity process is as reliable as possible. Thus, we suggest, a sharing of knowledge bases between allied or contracted companies or subsidiaries. (Example national strategy to be implemented regionally on a case-by-case basis) to ensure reliable sharing, we suggest the use of blockchain technology. {\textcopyright} 2022 Elsevier B.V..

On the other hand, ontologies offer a formal and a shared representation of the domain studied; EA in our case. Once formalized, the representation became computable so, all the EA reactions became dynamic towards the triggers of change. To benefit from the previous experiences, Case-based reasoning is introduced in our approach allowing a problem resolution via similarity and adaptation of knowledge to the current context.

So, they have to deal with new requirements that impact various parts of their Enterprise Architecture. To address the needs created by this new digital era, agility and adaptation are compulsory. Though Enterprise Architecture (EA) was designed as a catalyst for change management, traditional Enterprise Architecture approaches do not rely on well-defined concepts, lack agility and are constrained by layered architecture (business layer, functional layer, deployment layer, etc.). Thus, a new generation of EA, allowing continuous self-improvement and proactive adaptation to better match the new conditions, is required. In this paper, we highlighted some criteria, regarding the adaptation of EA and exploited them to show the limitations of the EA approaches analyzed. Then, we presented agile methods principles and discussed the mapping between them and the criteria that we proposed before.

To address the new requirements of these increasingly dynamic environments, enterprises need to transition from heavy and document-centred Enterprise Architecture Frameworks to more agile and continuously adaptive approaches. On the other hand, Agile Software Development (ASD) are commonly used methods for IT development. They are mainly characterized by the high involvement of the requester and the rapid accommodation to development needs. This paper presents an Adaptive Enterprise Architecture model that is inspired from some ASD values. Thus, we begin with a brief summary of the criteria that we consider compulsory for Adaptive Enterprise Architecture. Then we present the related work and the connection between agile values and our criteria. Finally, we describe our model and illustrate it via a case study.

There are several factors that influence this stability. The strategic alignment must be evolutionary, long-term, and dynamic in spite of those factors. In our case we opted for the agility. Agility has a global impact on the internal and external environment of an organization. Agility concerns the future of the organization/company. It is this concept which became a standard for business models since the rhythm of the change in companies accelerates. The current article reflects this idea, by describing the nature of the relation between the factor of agility and the strategic alignment in the determination of various types of agility. Furthermore, we try to establish in this article if an aligned system can stay so, by transforming the company into an agile one.
