Software Fortresses: Modeling Enterprise Architectures

2.3. Treaty–Ally Diagram

Usually the entire enterprise architecture is a bit much to digest at once. If we take a subset of the architecture showing only those fortresses involved in a particular treaty, the FAD reduces to a treaty–ally diagram (TAD). A TAD is easier to work with than a full FAD. The TAD in Figure 2.3 diagrams one of the treaties (Login) from Figure 2.2.
