Abstract
Modern organizations need to address increasingly complex challenges including how to represent and maintain their business goals using technologies and IT platforms that change on a regular basis. This has led to the development of modelling notations for expressing various aspects of an organization with a view to reducing complexity, increasing technology independence, and supporting analysis. Many of these Enterprise Architecture (EA) modelling notations provide a large number of concepts that support the business analysis but lack precise definitions necessary to perform computer-supported organizational analysis. This chapter reviews the current EA modelling landscape and proposes a simple language for the practical support of EA simulation including business alignment in terms of executing a collection of goals against prototype execution.

Analysing Time-Related Properties of Service-Oriented Systems
A software package that encapsulates a sub-functionality of a system and that is statically bound to the system, in the sense that it is included in the architecture of the system at design time. In SRML a component is a sub-functionality of a service and its lifetime spans only the execution of a single service instance.

Modeling Objects of Industrial Applications
In object-oriented programming and distributed-object technology, a component is a re-usable program building block that can be combined with other components in the same or other computers in a distributed network to form an application. Components can be deployed on different servers within a network and can communicate with each other to perform services. Examples include a single button in a graphical user interface, a small interest calculator and an interface to a database. [Garbrecht, S. D., 2006]
