Summarise and discuss the contributions to Enterprise Architecture outlined in the given texts in a 1-2 page long executive summary, and present your findings in a 5-minute-long PowerPoint presentation to the class in weeks 12 & 13.

Provide an appendix to the report where you briefly summarise the contributions each student has made to this assignment. This summary should not exceed one paragraph per student. The appendix does not contribute to the overall word limit. If you have concerns about adding this summary to the submission, or if you wish to make a confidential comment about your group, please contact me. The presentation shall comprise no more than 5 slides. You must use the presentation slides submitted to learnonline for your oral presentation in Week 12/13, and you must be able to complete your presentation in class within 5 minutes. The presentation schedule will be made available at a later date. It is strongly recommended that you practise presenting before submitting the PowerPoint file. External students who cannot attend the in-class presentations are required to record and submit a video (incl. audio) showing the presenters. Consider the following aspects when reviewing the given topic: • What is the paper's relevance to Enterprise Architecture? What is its impact? • What issue does it address or report about? • What are the main contributions/findings relevant to Enterprise Architecture? Ensure that your writing and presentation are suitable for an audience who are in general familiar with Enterprise Architecture. However, do not assume that the audience will be familiar with the specific topic.
