Analysis approach for enterprise information systems architecture based on hypergraph to aligned business process requirements

Modeling is the artifact of the outcome of some designing and analysis activity. Our idea is to present a formal way to use the mathematical analytic methods for exploring misalignment based on different concepts (information systems (IS), enterprise architecture (EA) business processes (BP) ... ) and relationships between various concepts in the domain of Enterprise IS (EIS) and try to align BP requirements. This paper presents a description of an analytical approach based on hypergraph representation for EA based on hypergraph theory. The hypergraph as a mathematical structure is very flexible thereby it offers the opportunity for unified and uniform handling of models and providing solutions for representing various views and perspectives of the functioning enterprise exploiting the service of IS.
