<\/a>Summary<\/h3>\n
There are plenty of alternative ways to model application integrations with ArchiMate, some of which are shown above. In practice, it is necessary to agree which modeling patterns are to be used in an organization. This is crucial, so that the overall enterprise architecture modelling repository can be kept consistent and coherent.<\/p>\n
Concerning application integrations modelling, I’d suggest to adapt and utilize approaches 1, 3 and 10 of those shown above. Those are the most informative and practical approaches (a.k.a “patterns”), as they are relatively simple and intuitively understandable.<\/p>\n
