The first part is devoted to enterprise architecture and to their importance for a big company. The second part of the diploma thesis is devoted to framework, to their principles and importance in connection with enterprise architecture. In first chapters of this part is devoted to description of framework generally, while the last parts contain the description of particular framework for telecommunication industry named NGOSS. I describe its main characteristics and its main parts with emphasis on its part concerning architecture of information system named TNA (Technology Neutral Architecture). This TNA description also contains description of NGOSS contract, which is very important for practical part of diploma thesis.

In the last and practical part of diploma thesis, I am trying to design NGOSS contract for the chosen SOA service and demonstrate its importance for SOA adoption.
