Service orientation is a new paradigm, not only for software engineering but also for the broader topic of enterprise architecture. This chapter studies the relevance and impact of the service concept and service orientation to the discipline of enterprise architecture. It provides ideas on how to set up a service-oriented enterprise architecture. It is argued that a service-oriented approach to enterprise architecture provides better handles for architectural alignment and business and IT alignment, in particular.

This chapter proposes that a problem oriented approach to Enterprise Architecture can deliver a better outcome than one based upon needs and requirements, especially when dealing with Wicked Problems. A distinction is drawn between what an Enterprise Architect does, solve business problems, and what the architect produces, descriptions of end states. It also suggests that the approach to modeling and understanding a problem can have significant impacts on the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of potential solutions and the decisions made in identifying optimal solutions and implementation projects. Finally, the chapter discusses the use of the proposed problem oriented Enterprise Architecture approach to Wicked Problems in the context of e-Government.

One of the main challenges enterprises face today is how to manage complexity of systems being developed, effectively utilize the power of the Internet, and be able to rapidly adapt to changes in both technology and business. The new paradigm of component-based development (CBD) has been introduced as an excellent solution for building complex Internet-enabled enterprise information systems (Brown, 2000; Szyperski, 2002). The basic idea of CBD originates from the strategy successfully applied in other engineering disciplines that a system developed from components is more flexible and easier to develop. CBD provides higher productivity in system development through reusability, more effective system maintenance, higher quality of solutions and the possibility for parallel work. Moreover, it provides better system adaptability through replaceability of parts, localization and better control of changes, system scalability, and the possibility of using legacy assets.

Abstract. The European Diploma in Psychology defines a common European standard for the competences required to practice as a psychologist. This paper describes how that standard was developed and defined, and why it was considered important to bring together the traditional input-based specification of professional competence, in terms of curriculum and training course content, with a more outcome-oriented approach that focuses on the competences that a professional psychologist needs to demonstrate in practice. The paper addresses three specific questions. What are the competences that a psychologist should possess? Are these competences the same for all areas of practice within professional psychology? How can these competences be assessed?
