ACES Technologies
ACES Technologies are Fraunhofer IESE’s extensions to Enterprise Architect, aimed at guiding an architect along the Fraunhofer ACES approach.
ACES Technologies includes ACES Modeling, which provides exactly the elements, diagrams, and toolboxes needed for ACES-ADF (Architecture Documentation Framework), and ACES Productivity, which automates tedious and recurring manual tasks in order to make architecture modeling with ACES and Enterprise Architect more efficient.
While Enterprise Architect is a tool for modeling software and systems based on UML and other modeling languages, it is a versatile and generic platform and does not inherently support any specific architecture approach. Fraunhofer ACES technologies extends Enterprise Architect towards a real architecture tool.
