	abstract = {Currently, the organizations are constantly confronted with rapid and radical changes, making the company in turbulence that requires a transformation from a state to a target state. This turbulence needs agility on the part of companies, i.e. the ability to monitor their environment and be ready to react. Enterprise architecture needs transformation if its levels of abstraction are affected by its changes, so enterprise architecture needs to be agile to evolve over time. To measure the impact of change on the abstraction levels. This article proposes different algorithms to proceed to the change impact analysis in the different abstraction levels to be able to analyze the change impact of different projects on the elements of the enterprise architecture and to make it agile. {\textcopyright} 2021 Elsevier B.V.

	abstract = {Due mainly to digital transformation, enterprises are immersed in dynamic environments. They are dealing with internal and external changes (gradual or abrupt, frequent or occasional, in the short or long term) that impact various parts of their Enterprise Architecture. To cope with the requirements of 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 explore and investigate some approaches of EA that deal with change management. Then, we, particularly, note the various definitions of the notion of adaptive EA, according to literature. Finally, we suggest some criteria, regarding the adaptation of EA, to highlight the limitations of the approaches analyzed. {\textcopyright} 2020 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Organizations introduce changes to adapt to an agile context in a turbulent environment. These change often have an impact on business and information technology. In most cases, the change impacts organizational elements that make the adaptation not well defined, leaving out elements that can lead to misalignment. The change is realized in this article as a project, which will impact all the Business-IT alignment elements. It is important to know the scope of the impact in order to make a complete adaptation. By reviewing the literature, we found that there is no work dealing with this aspect. To fill this gap, we determine the impact of the project on the organization by considering of Business-IT alignment and we proceed with a comparison of the AS IS model of the organization with the TO BE model which is the target to be implemented keeping the system aligned. Accordingly, we propose a metamodel for change by the impact of the project on the Business-IT alignment and a set of rules and algorithms to predict the impact and adaptation. To make these contributions operational, the implementation of Change Business-IT Alignment Tool and demonstrate its applicability through a case study of an urban agency. {\textcopyright} 2020.
