Arquitectura de Sistemas de Información en las Instituciones de Educación Superior en el Ecuador
Keywords:
applications architecture, higher education institutions, architectural development method, information systemsAbstract
Higher Education Institutions (HEI) supports more and more their processes and activities through technology and Information Systems (IS). In this regard, it is essential possessing a flexible applications architecture to support efficiently their operational model. The article proposes a reference model for the establishment of a solid, scalable and evolutionary applications architecture in which each HEI can define the different elements that will conform their technological platform (reference guidelines, industry standards and best practices). The reference model main objective is the development of a practical guide to define and consolidate an information systems architecture through the identification of well-defined layers and components using disruptive technologies according to the model SMACIT (Social, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud and Internet of Things), and Service Oriented Architecture. ADM-TOGAF was used as the method of architectural development, working specifically in the first three phases: Preliminary, Architectural Vision and Information System Architecture, with the aim that the proposed model will constitute the basis for comprehensive management of an HEI, based on the concepts of Enterprise Architecture. The proposed model was validated in an HEI of Ecuador through the development and evaluation of the deliverables defined each phase of the reference model.
