Abstract
The alignment of university curricula to the needs of the IT industry is a great challenge which needs analysis of various different aspects. IT architecture competencies and skills are very important to parties such as the IT industry, course providers, universities, and of course students. In this paper IT architect certification programs are analyzed as they need to be well-aligned to the needs of the industry. The range of IT architect certification programs on todays market is vast and rather complicated. This article describes a new lightweight method for quickly evaluating IT architect certifications using specially developed data collection methods. The method concentrates on non-domain certification features and introduces metrics which can be used to compare programs with each other. Broad research has been done to identify the most important domain-independent features of certificate programs for IT architects on the employee market today. These features have been selected, evaluated and combined into a metrics formula using a specially developed automated data mining process. The metrics can also be automatically updated in a process called "self-adaptation" after a specified period of time. The whole process assumes that the highest-ranking certificate programs from a previous time period can be used as a reference for establishing domain-independent features in the next period. Each certificate program can currently be evaluated only once per period based on the reference. The proposed solution will deliver a powerful tool for IT architect skill comparison, especially when there are many job candidates with different sets of certification documents to be assessed. The research results are currently being used to design architecture courses at the IT Architecture Academy at the AGH Univ. of Science and Technology.
