以架構為中心方法演進整合性畜禽測試委託服務

Evolving the Integrated Animal Testing Service via an Architecture-centric Method

本研究乃利用架構為中心的方法，運用開放式塑模語言，描述農業科技研究院畜禽測試委託服務之動機架構、業務架構、應用架構及技術架構視圖，將人因流程轉換為架構。研究過程藉由檢視現有業務服務流程與應用系統，了解現況架構之需求與目標設定，符合委託者與受委託者之關注。過去畜禽測試委託服務利用執行人員個人能力與經驗，以及技術性之標準操作程序維持測試服務平台，並未應用企業架構塑模，不易有效溝通，也不易經驗傳承，因此溝通的工作經常重複執行。透過本研究建立企業架構，各利害關係人明確了解其關注點是否獲得滿足，以完備整個測試服務平台。首先，我們定義利害關係人，透過利害關係人關注內容，建立評估指標，檢視目標限制因子，推導需求與子目標，以達成總目標。運用企業架構視圖，可清楚地展示畜禽測試委託服務現況系統之各個面向。面向內容為設置測試服務辦公室，連結委託人之多種測試需求，與各測試實驗室之流量需求，以符合利害關係人之關注。本研究使用開放群組的「架構開發方法」與「架構塑模語言－－ArchiMate」，建構畜禽測試技術服務之業務架構，最大亮點在於：畜禽測試委託服務由單一機構之整合性技術服務，進化為跨機構間之整合性技術服務架構時，為現況系統進化成未來系統之演化架構之差異分析。

The purpose of this study is to describe the motivational architecture, business architecture, application architecture and technical architecture views of the Integrated Animal Testing Service (IATS ) of Agricultural Technology Research Institute (ATRI ) by using the architecture-centric method with an open source tool. The use of enterprise architecture method to review business and applications architecture helps us to understand the requirements and goals of the as-is system of IATS meet the concerns of stockholders or not. In the past, ITAS maintained the service platform by personal ability with standard operating procedures. In fact, it was not easy to communicate effectively. Mission goals and requirements are not easy to focus, and therefore require a lot of repetitive communication. Through this study, an enterprise architecture is established, and stakeholders are clearly aware of whether their concerns are met, thereby completing the entire testing service platform. Through the concern of defined stakeholder, evaluation assessment, constraints, sub-goals and goals are established. Enterprise architecture views show a clear display of all aspects of IATS of ATRI. Therefore, testing services office linked the requirements of the client and the needs of testing laboratories. In this study, one site IATS (As-is ) will expand to be a multiple site IATS (To-be ). We also do the gap analysis between the As-is system and the To-be system architecture of IATS. In this research, we use the Architecture Development Methodology and the architectural modeling language ArchiMate created by The Open Group to construct business architecture for IATS and to provide an evolutionary architecture that evolves from an As-is system to a To-be system.
