The research focuses on the relationship and interlinking between the different architectural domains within the enterprise architecture of an enterprise. The architectural domains are grouped together as business architecture, information architecture and technology architecture. First, a literature review of the definitions, history, role, functions and qualities, existing frameworks, models and domains of enterprise architecture was conducted. The definitions; role and benefits; models, frameworks, ontologies and descriptive languages of the different architectural domains were then studied as background and basis. New definitions were deduced. Second, the modelling methodology, process, elements and deliverables were investigated. An integration metamodel for enterprise architecture was developed, according to this modelling methodology. The metamodel is called the Relational Enterprise Architecture Metamodel or the REAM. Third, the research methodology for the empirical research section was investigated and determined. The proposed conceptual metamodel has been assessed through a case study within three different industries each. The feedback from the case studies was used to modify/enhance the metamodel. The possibilities for application of the modified model were then assessed at the University of Pretoria. The contribution of this research lies mainly in the development, empirical testing and refining of an integrated EA metamodel (REAM) as well as the development of new definitions for enterprise, business, information and technology architecture and relating them. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria 2015. / Information Science / Unrestricted

Diante desse contexto, a prática de gestão educacional dos cursos de graduação, na figura do coordenador, configura-se como um dos elementos relevantes nos processos de gestão, para a garantia da excelência acadêmica e sustentabilidade das instituições educacionais de ensino superior no Brasil. A fim de melhorar o processo de tomada de decisão dos coordenadores de curso de graduação e contribuir para a qualidade e sustentabilidade dos cursos de graduação, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo geral propor um Sistema de Informações Gerenciais (SIG), com base em dados internos e externos. A pesquisa busca responder à seguinte questão: na gestão de cursos de graduação em IES privadas, quais informações são relevantes para os coordenadores de cursos, considerando o binômio qualidade e sustentabilidade? A instituição utilizada como campo empírico foi a Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, universidade jesuíta e comunitária no sul do país. O método utilizado para esta pesquisa foi o estudo de caso, com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, utilizando-se como instrumentos para a coleta de dados entrevistas com gerentes da Unidade de Graduação e a aplicação de um questionário online aos coordenadores de curso. Para a análise dos dados, foi utilizada a técnica da análise descritiva. O resultado final deste projeto evidencia a dificuldade e o esforço dos coordenadores para a busca e acesso às informações necessárias para suas atividades de gestão. Além disso, foi possível classificar diversos tipos de informação quanto à sua importância e acessibilidade para os coordenadores de curso visando à composição de um sistema de informações gerenciais. Outrossim, foi possível demostrar, através de um protótipo, a simulação do sistema com base na arquitetura de TI proposta para este projeto. / Brazilian Education has had a new configuration due to the expansion of the private educational sector since the 1990’s. In this context, educational management of the undergraduate courses, through the figure of the coordinator, has been a key element in the management process as it guarantees academic excellence and sustainability of Brazil’s higher education institutions. In order to enhance the process of decision taking among the coordinators of undergraduate programs and also to contribute to the quality and sustainability of those courses, this research has the general aim of proposing a System of Managerial Information (SIG, for short in Portuguese), based on both internal and external data. The research seeks to answer the following question: in the management of the undergraduate courses of Higher Education Institutions, what pieces of information are relevant to the courses managers when quality and sustainability are taken into consideration? The institution that has been empirically used was Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, a jesuit and community university in Southern Brazil. A case study has been carried out as the method for this research, with both a quantitative and qualitative approach. As instruments for the data collection, we have used interviews with managers of the Undergraduation Department as well as an online questionnaire to courses managers. For the data analysis, the technique of descriptive analysis has been used. The final result of this project lets show the difficulty and effort of coordinators and managers to search and access information which is necessary for their managerial activities. Furthermore, it was possible to classify several types of information regarding its importance and accessibility for college managers aiming at the development of a system of managerial information for undergraduate programs managers. It has also been possible, by means of a prototype, the simulation of the system based on the IT architecture that was proposed for this project.

Un requerimiento esencial para las organizaciones de salud es garantizar la privacidad y la óptima distribución de los registros médicos electrónicos (RME) debido a que almacenan toda la información médica sensible de los pacientes. Sin embargo, las organizaciones privadas de salud presentan riesgos y deficiencias en la seguridad e interoperabilidad de los RME afectando la adecuada distribución y autenticación de los registros médicos. Las arquitecturas y soluciones encontradas en la literatura se desarrollan utilizando la tecnología Blockchain; sin embargo, estas no contemplan todas las necesidades requeridas por las organizaciones privadas de salud y no ofrecen al paciente el control completo de toda la información en sus registros médicos. El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar la utilidad e importancia de la tecnología Blockchain en la propuesta de una arquitectura tecnológica para la gestión de los RME en organizaciones privadas de salud. La metodología empleada se basa en el análisis de trabajos y soluciones de diversos autores relacionados con el uso de la tecnología Blockchain para la gestión de los registros médicos en organizaciones de salud. De esta manera, se puede determinar el aporte brindado ante la deficiente gestión y seguridad de los registros médicos, detallar todo el proceso del resultado de la propuesta de una arquitectura tecnológica que use la tecnología Blockchain para garantizar la integridad y confidencialidad de los datos médicos junto con la protección de la privacidad del paciente; y, proponer investigaciones a futuro que complementen la propuesta y su implementación en el sector de salud. / An essential requirement for healthcare organizations is to ensure the privacy and optimal distribution of electronic medical records (EMRs) because they store all sensitive medical information of patients. However, private health organizations present security risks and have deficiencies with the interoperability of EMRs, affecting the proper distribution and authentication of medical records. The architectures and solutions found in the literature are developed using Blockchain technology; however, these do not meet all the needs required by private health organizations and do not offer the patient complete control of all the information in their medical records. The objective of this research is to determine the use and importance of Blockchain technology in the proposal of a technology architecture for the management of EMRs in private health organizations. The methodology used is based on the analysis of works and solutions of various authors related to the application of Blockchain technology for the management of medical records in health organizations. In this way, it is possible to determine the contribution provided to the deficient management and security of medical records, to detail the entire process of the result of the proposal of a technological architecture that uses Blockchain technology to guarantee the integrity and confidentiality of medical data along with protection of patient privacy; and to propose future research that complements the proposal and its implementation in the health sector. / Trabajo de investigación
