[en] Our work aims to rationalize Enterprise Architectures
(EA) by providing the reasoning behind the designs, in
terms of selection criteria, design alternatives and more. Its major
contribution is a formal metamodel that captures the reasoning
and the inter-relationships of design decisions.
This paper extends our approach in order to provide an
explicit bridging between the Problem space that is defined by the
different requirements and the Solution space that is described
by specific design decisions. In doing so, EA Anamnesis also
supports traceability from specific design decisions to the given
requirements.
