Future Generation Enterprise Architecture Community of Practice

Overview

Future Generation Enterprise Architecture (FGEA) CoP is based at the DigiSAS Lab, School of Computer Science, University of Technology Sydney(UTS). It provides a platform to EA practitioners, researchers and thought leaders from government, higher education and industry to exchange innovative ideas and best practices for architecting intelligent data and digital government & higher education ecosystems.

Purpose: Architecture for Public Good

Participation in the FGEA CoP is voluntary and by invitation based on the relevance to the enterprise architecture discipline and practice. The main purpose of the CoP is knowledge sharing, professional development, and capacity building in modern Data & Digital Enterprise Architecture landscape for public good in both digital government and higher education ecosystems with a view to explore the emerging trustworthy technologies, cyber, digital, data, AI/Gen AI adoptions, their threats and opportunities. This also includes developing professionals and future leaders in the overall spirit of UN’s SDG Goals, Data & Digital Profession.

Structure

The FGEA CoP structure is organised as follows. General chair will provide the overall leadership and steering of the CoP. Convenor will provide the communication and coordination support across the CoP stakeholders. Advisory panel will provide the local and international perspectives and guidance across the CoP. There are three advisory committees, which will be led by the respective chairs and supported by the advisory committee members. Advisory committee chairs help setting and leading the agenda and round table discussions during the CoP sessions/symposiums. Advisory committee members propose topics and present at the CoP sessions/symposiums in consultation with the the chairs.
