Abstract

In organizations where there are not any concerns about updating Information Systems Architecture (ISA) models in a strict and automatic fashion, business requirements and pressures frequently lead to an increasing gap between current Information Systems and the latest version of their ISA and, in particular, their Technology Architecture (TA) models, when they exist. One of the causes for the lack of “investment” in TA models is the considerable effort required to “discover” infrastructural features that serve as input to the development of architectures. This work is focused on devising a bottom up approach for the representation and continuous update of TAs in Public Administration (PA) using tools to automatize the discovery of architectural evidences (such as logs or network events) and a process based on the annotation mechanism to enable interaction contexts that allow actors to make explicit their knowledge about their activities through graphic representations.
