Between 2006 and 2009 I developed and presented a number of versions of this presentation. It was intended as an exercise to develop my thinking about the practice of architecting. And, my thinking certainly did evolve during that period. This version is the last developed. Yet, my thinking on the subject has not remained static in the intervening years.
Unfortunately I have encountered many differing versions of this presentation across the web. As a result, I thought it necessary to post this last version in hopes of normalizing the use of this presentation by others. I am flattered that so many have found this presentation useful. I urge all who appreciate this work to extend and modify the thinking in your own form in hopes of improving the state of architecting practice. My only request is that you comply with the requirement of the associated creative commons license.
What Does the Webinar Cover?
You'll learn how to optimize varying parameters and disciplines throughout the lifecycle of the system within cost and schedule constraints without compromising performance. Real MBSE enables the execution of many activities in parallel, thus enabling the “faster and cheaper” part.
Many people can contribute to the design and development at the same time, because the information they create can be easily linked together to form abstractions that enable you to communicate the results at all levels. Dr. Dam uses a methodology that includes the technique, processes, and tools.
This methodology isn’t the only way to have a successful MBSE capability, but all three elements must be incorporated in any methodology you use. We offer this methodology as one that has proven successful over the past decade. It is based on methodologies used since the 1960s, but updated to the modern cloud computing, artificial intelligence age; that's now emerging toward the end of the second decade of the 21st Century.
Often people today work in a similar manner to how their grandparents worked in the 1960s, just with electronic tools instead of paper and pencil. Just creating a “model” doesn’t mean you are doing effective MBSE. This webinar will show you how to take MBSE into the 21st century.

NLP-Focused Applied ML at Scale for Global Fleet Analytics at ExxonMobilDatabricks
Equipment maintenance log of the global fleet is traditionally maintained using legacy infrastructure and data models, which limit the ability to extract insights at scale. However, to impact the bottom line, it is critical to ingest and enrich global fleet data to generate data driven guidance for operations. The impact of such insights is projected to be millions of dollars per annum.
To this end, we leverage Databricks to perform machine learning at scale, including ingesting (structured and unstructured data) from legacy systems, and then sifting through millions of nonlinearly growing records to extract insights using NLP. The insights enable outlier identification, capacity planning, prioritization of cost reduction opportunities, and the discovery process for cross-functional teams.

What you can take away from this presentation:
- Switch to micro service architecture
- Be ready for the multicloud world
- Focus on unique value proposal
- Be part of software ecosystems... or be the ecosystem
- Develop API to accelerate new sales channel
- Give them first, then make them addict to your soft
Everyone talks about "data-centricity," but what does that mean in practical terms. It means that you have to have a well defined ontology that can capture the information needed to describe the architecture or system you work with or want to create. An ontology is simply the taxonomy of entity classes (bins of information) and how those classes are related to each other. In this webinar, we will discuss a relatively new ontology, the Lifecycle Modeling Language (LML). LML provides the basis for Innoslate's database schema. In this webinar, we will discuss each entity class and why it was developed. Dr. Steven Dam, who is the Secretary of the LML Steering Committee, will present the details of the language and how it relates to other ontologies/languages, such as the DoDAF MetaModel 2.0 and SysML. He will also discuss the ways to visualize this information to enhance understanding of the information and how to use that information to make decisions about the architecture or system.

In today's dynamic business landscape, planning and budgeting need to adapt to changing business conditions. Derik Rothman, Director at Futuresense, says a company's business processes need to be flexible enough to be able to handle landscape changes, and flexible enough to do it fast and efficiently, without putting the business at risk.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
