  Management of social networks, has become a strategic challenge for different applications including education due to its growing importance. Enterprise Architecture (EA), uses a holistic specification of information technology functions in organizations to decrease the complexity of using information technology and to increase its efficiency. As regards, using social networks in education in most countries of the world has not yet finished its preliminary stages, so for this reason there is no standard framework and model. The aim of this paper is to design an appropriate architecture framework for utilizing social networks in higher education system in Iran. To do this,first the concept of social networks and its applications at educational environment have been investigated.Then the concept of enterprise architecture and information architecture framework are studied, Zachman framework has been selected as the main tool and then using questionnaire the vital aspects of implementing social networks in higher education have been identified from the views of experts. The findings of study indicate the main reasons for the use of social networks in higher education (strategy), the most important actors in this field (people), the infrastructure needed (infrastructure), the data and information required in this environment (data) and also the processes required to fulfill the social network of learning (process). The main characteristic of the final framework is a presentation of a comprehensive framework for using social network in education system with attention to local considerations. Manuscript profile

  Abstract Nowadays IT is regarded as one of the most important and strategic section in development of business that has important role in increasing competition power of banks, on the other hand IT governance is an important section in governance of banks. Key role of IT in growth and development of banks is very clear for senior managers and the important point is strategic integrity of IT and business in banks that is first goal of IT Governance. Results of researches show that average maturity of IT Governance in governmental banks is (1, 60). Level of maturity in effective usage of IT and adaptation of strategies of business with strategies of IT in governmental banks does not have good conditions. Kind of governance in governmental banks because bank industry is not competitive issue in Iran and applying mandatory rules and regulations on bank system of Iran has caused that governmental banks will not care to using electronic commerce in their business as an strategic tool.

  Nowadays one of the biggest problems of IT organizations in less developed countries is paying too much attention to infrastructure and technology of organizations. This is due to the point that many managers in organizations believe that existence of IT infrastructure and technology by itself is a sign of maturity of an organization. Although technical facilities and infrastructure such as networks, hardware, software etc., is essential for providing appropriate services and optimal performance, but these features cannot provide a competitive advantage and increase the maturity of the organization. The missing link in these organizations, which have been less considered, is how to use these features to achieve organizational goals. In different areas, there are several standards and optimal methods for defining and optimizing processes. Some of the most complex models which should be considered in different units of information technology are, models and frameworks related to IT governance. IT governance focuses on implementation and management of quality of IT services so as to meet business needs. IT governance is done by service providers through an appropriate combination of people, process and information technology. The purpose of this paper is to examine different models and frameworks of IT governance models, in order to propose a framework for assessing IT services Manuscript profile

  oday, one of the biggest problems of information technology organizations in less developed countries is the excessive attention of these organizations to the field of infrastructure and technology. This attention has been up to the point that many managers and organizations consider the existence of up-to-date infrastructure and technologies as a sign of the maturity of the organization's information technology. Although the existence of appropriate technical and infrastructural facilities such as network, hardware, software, etc. is necessary to provide proper services and optimal performance, but these features cannot create a competitive advantage and increase the maturity of the organization. The missing link in these organizations, which has unfortunately received less attention, is how to use these facilities to achieve organizational goals. In different fields, there are many standards and methods for defining and optimizing processes. One of the most important sets of models that should be considered in information technology units are the models and frameworks related to information technology governance. IT governance focuses on implementing and managing the quality of IT services to meet business needs. IT governance is achieved by service providers through the right combination of people, process and IT. The purpose of this article is to examine the different models and frameworks of information technology governance in order to derive a model for the evaluation of information technology services by modeling these frameworks.

  The Iran’s national enterprise architecture framework (INEAF) has been adapted from the TOGAF framework and its architectural development method. In this framework, the use of agility paradigm is emphasized, but there is no basis for using agile methods and techniques. Based on the results obtained for the researcher, the studied sources did not indicate all the necessary solutions and features to develop an agile methodology based on the Iran’s national EA framework. According to Mr. Gill research, each modeling standard is different in scope and function, and since a modeling standard alone cannot support all the requirements of agile enterprise architecture, combining modeling standards is a suitable solution. In this paper, an agile enterprise architecture modeling methodology including ten solutions with a combination of six modeling standards ArchiMate, UML, BPMN, FAML, SoaML and BMM based on the Iran’s national EA framework is presented. The evaluation of the applicability of the proposed methodology is performed by the combined method (qualitative + quantitative). Qualitative evaluation is performed through a case study and quantitative evaluation is performed using multi-criteria decision making methods including ANP and DEMATEL. Data collection and information gathering and determining options and criteria, is performed through library studies and field methods, and using questionnaire, interview and observation tools. Based on the case study, combination of six standards by agile enterprise architecture modeling method based on the Iran’s national enterprise architecture framework is applicable. For quantitative evaluation of applicability in this paper, according to experts, four options have been proposed, which are based on the final weight: support by known tools, the ability to cover the artifacts of the Iran’s national enterprise architecture framework, efficiency or effectiveness, ease of learning or teachability.

  IT strategy is a key factor in improving the process and performance of companies in using IT. Hence, many companies have a strategic planning process, but only a few succeed in implementing strategies efficiently. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to design a process framework for implementing IT strategy; To identify the drivers, processes and consequences of implementing IT strategy in organizations. The present study is a qualitative research with a phenomenological approach and in order to collect data, open and in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 experts in the field of IT using theoretical sampling. The results of the analysis show that the inputs under the headings of IT strategy implementation include environmental requirements of business continuity, structural-system cohesion, technology-oriented human resources, IT strategic leadership, skill requirements and common values. The second aspect of the IT strategy implementation model includes the dimensions of IT program monitoring and communication, structural appropriateness, development of support policies, budgeting and resource allocation, appropriate training, and the development of supportive culture. Finally, the implications of implementing an IT strategy, including those related to finance, internal process, customer, and growth and learning, were categorized. Manuscript profile
