Modelo de referencia para la implementación de la arquitectura de sistemas de información y su aplicación en la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja

Abstract

Higher Education Institutions (HEI) support the processes defined in its value chain in the technology and particularly in the Information Systems (IS), reason for which it is fundamental to have a flexible architecture of applications that efficiently support its operating model. For this reason, the thesis project was designed to propose a reference model that allows the IES to establish its technological platform in terms of applications, based on guidelines, standards and best practices of the industry. The main objective of the project was to generate a reference model based on TOGAF to consolidate the IS architecture by using disruptive technologies according to the SMACIT model (social, mobile, analytical, cloud and internet of things). To achieve the proposed objectives, the case study method was used to identify four phases for its implementation: initiation, design, construction and application of the model. In order to verify the feasibility of the project, a systematic review of the literature (SLR) was carried out using the indexed scientific databases. Regarding the development of the model, the TOGAF Architectural Development Method (ADM) was taken as reference, specifically three phases: Preliminary, Architectural View and SI Architecture. For each of them, the main activities to be performed were identified, as well as the works and artifacts necessary to define the architectural model of the applications. To validate the proposed model, it was applied like a case of study to Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL), for which it was selected inside the processes misionales of its value chain, the macro process of Admission and Registration for the execution of each of the phases and deliverables defined
