	abstract = {Enterprise Architecture EA provides a {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}knowledge base and support for decision making within the enterprise and it serves as the blueprint of current situation and strategy for future directions of the enterprise{{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}}. The planning and modeling aspect of EA is already fairly well covered in the literature, while the evaluation and the attributes of EA quality have attracted less interest and yet enterprise architecture quality has been perceived as a prerequisite for realizing its benefits {[}6]. The principle goals of EA evaluation are to document the significance of the EA to decision makers, and to identify the development needs of the EA. However it is very difficult to find a complete method of evaluation in term of indicators of evaluation and which ensures the follow-up of all the stages of development of the architecture of company. This article presents a generic model of evaluation enterprise architecture. We do not want to use attributes directly because the model definition could vary in different organizations. Therefore, we introduce this artifact as an intermediate layer as not to limit the flexibility of evaluation.},

	abstract = {-Any big enterprise is organized around business, process having a value towards its customers and its products. Appropriate definition, analysis, checking and improvement of those business process models are indispensable before their deployment within workflow management systems. In this paper, we focus on business process model verification that insures business process structural correctness. Our proposal consist in a new efficient hybrid algorithm of workflow graph structural validation combining graph reduction and traversal mechanisms. Our algorithm will be disussed and compared to existing workflow structural checking approaches from completeness and performance points of view.},

	abstract = {Process interconnection mechanisms are necessary to coordinate geographically distributed business processes in order to strength awareness inside virtual enterprises, to facilitate multinational e-transactions, etc. Actually, existing business process modelling and enactment systems (workflow systems, project management tools, shared agendas, to do lists, etc.) have been mainly developed to suit enterprise internal needs. Thus, most of these systems are not adapted to inter-enterprise cooperation. As we are interested in workflow processes, we aim, through this paper, to present a model supporting dynamic heterogeneous workflow process interconnection. We consider the interconnection of enterprise workflow processes as the management of a {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}workflow of workflows{{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}} in which several heterogeneous workflow systems coexist. This paper introduces our process interconnection model, its implementation, and its validation through experimentation. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},
