Thinking Aloud: University Enterprise Architecture Themes and HorizonsAlison Pope
. It provides some of my thinking and research on ideas and themes for looking at technology trends over three horizons (2011, 2015 and 2020), business strategy and enterprise architecture, application architectures and themes and how we might … just might begin take all of this forward. It is essentially a list of the things I will be thinking about, reading about, working on and blogging about in 2011 all mixed up together to hopefully understand better as the year progresses.
Estimation represents one of the most critical processes for any project and it is highly dependent on the quality of requirements elicitation and management. Therefore, the management of requirements should be prioritised in any process improvement program, because the less precise the requirements gathering, analysis and sizing, the greater the error in terms of time and cost estimation. Maturity and Capability Models (MCM) represent a good tool for assessing the status of a set of processes, but an inner limit of any model is its scope and approach for describing a certain issue. Thus, integrating two or more models with a common area of focus can offer more information and value for an organization, keeping the best components from each model. LEGO (Living EnGineering prOcess) is an approach projected for this purpose. This paper proposes a LEGO application hybridizing a ‘horizontal’ model (a MM containing processes going through the complete supply chain, from requirements right through to delivery, e.g. CMMI or ISO 12207/15504) with a few specific ‘vertical’ models (MMs with focus on a single perspective or process category, e.g. TMMi or TPI in the Test Management domain, P3M3 and OPM3 in the Project Management domain) for Requirement Engineering.

The LEGO Maturity & Capability Model ApproachLuigi Buglione
“Maturity model” (MM) (based on Crosby’s original idea) has been one of the main buzzwords over the past 20 years. A variety of MMs have been created in several application domains, from Software Engineering to Contract Management. Despite several models intending to cover the same domain, their PRMs (Process Reference Models) typically have different scopes, do not always cover the same set of processes, or have different levels of depth, or do not express the same level of granularity when describing concepts. Thus some important questions from the MM users’ viewpoint arise: how to choose the right models for our needs? After selecting those models, how to build a new, tailored MM based on several sources and customized to a specific domain? This paper motivates these important questions and proposes a way to choose, combine and adapt the contents from multiple MMs within a generic-domain approach we call ‘LEGO’ (Living EnGineering prOcess), based upon the well-known kids’ toy that stimulates creativity through combining different bricks. We present three case studies, one of them based upon the development of the Medi SPICE model, illustrating how the proposed approach may be used to develop MCM (Maturity & Capabilty Models) in this context.

Applying systemic methodologies to “IT ecosystems” in order to harmonize business operations and information systems within the organization
Software ecosystems and IT ecosystems are modern terms used to describe complex networks of IT applications. The idea comes from the perspective that IT systems are made by people, serve people in the context of socio-technical systems and, finally, they affect the lives of more people. All that stuff live and evolve together, each having its own properties and dynamics. All together form a kind of ecosystem which exposes its own emergent behavior. It is a perfect field to apply systemic approach in order to create a holistic approach, to reveal the underlying dynamic structure, to cope with complexity and to extract order out of the mess. The final objective is to bridge the gap between business and IT helping the organization to serve its purpose.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Overview of Business
Intelligence, Analytics, Data
Science, and Artificial Intelligence:
Systems for Decision Support
■■ Understand the need for computerized support of
managerial decision making
■■ Understand the development of systems for
providing decision-making support
■■ Recognize the evolution of such computerized
support to the current state of analytics/data
science and artificial intelligence
■■ Describe the business intelligence (BI)
methodology and concepts
■■ Understand the different types of analytics and
review selected applications
■■ Understand the basic concepts of artificial
intelligence (AI) and see selected applications
■■ Understand the analytics ecosystem to identify
various key players and career opportunities
T he business environment (climate) is constantly changing, and it is becoming more and more complex. Organizations, both private and public, are under pres-sures that force them to respond quickly to changing conditions and to be in-
novative in the way they operate. Such activities require organizations to be agile and to
make frequent and quick strategic, tactical, and operational decisions, some of which are
very complex. Making such decisions may require considerable amounts of relevant data,
information, and knowledge. Processing these in the framework of the needed decisions
must be done quickly, frequently in real time, and usually requires some computerized
support. As technologies are evolving, many decisions are being automated, leading to a
major impact on knowledge work and workers in many ways.
This book is about using business analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) as a
computerized support portfolio for managerial decision making. It concentrates on the

theoretical and conceptual foundations of decision support as well as on the commercial
tools and techniques that are available. The book presents the fundamentals of the tech-
niques and the manner in which these systems are constructed and used. We follow an
EEE (exposure, experience, and exploration) approach to introducing these topics. The
book primarily provides exposure to various analytics/AI techniques and their applica-
tions. The idea is that students will be inspired to learn from how various organizations
have employed these technologies to make decisions or to gain a competitive edge. We
believe that such exposure to what is being accomplished with analytics and that how
it can be achieved is the key component of learning about analytics. In describing the
techniques, we also give examples of specific software tools that can be used for devel-
oping such applications. However, the book is not limited to any one software tool, so
students can experience these techniques using any number of availa ...

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.

12. Workshop « Modeling »
Which modeling approaches are needed
for the engineering of
future complex systems ?
Objective:
Identify trends and necessary improvements
in modeling techniques and tools
Attendance:
– 40 persons, 70% industry
25
13. Topics (1/4)
« One (model) to rule them all ?»
A universal/unified SE modeling language,
Or a combination of specialized languages ?
Modeling dimensions:
• Multi-disciplines,
• Multi-levels, concurrent engineering,
• Covering the whole system life-cycle
Combining specialized languages Common meta-model ?
How to manage changes coming from one viewpoint, and
impacting others ?
26
14. Synthesis (1/4)
A universal/unified SE modeling language,
Or a combination of specialized languages ?
Domain Specific languages for domain engineers
• A system level model can be considered as intrusive
• Any generic, universal language will end up being customized per domain
Transverse techniques for transverse disciplines
• Using safety, performances modeling in addition to functional modeling
Organising the consistency of multi-dimension modeling
• Simplified models for the communciation between domains
• Synthesis/abstraction for upper level modellng
• Requirements as the simplest, minimal exchange model ?
27
15. Topics (2/4)
Is the precise (formal) definition of language semantics
helping or hampering a wide usage of modeling ?
Plus:
– Better tools accuracy, interoperability, automation
– Formal proof, simulation and test generation while keeping the
exact semantics
– Now recognized as a credit for aeronautical certification
– ….
Minus:
– Accuracy and rigidity can hamper a creation process
– Limitation of the usage scope
– Higher cost (training, competences, tools)
– …
28
16. Synthesis(2/4)
Is the precise (formal) definition of language semantics
helping or hampering a wide usage of modeling ?
Two distinct class of needs
– Exchange with stakeholders, understand, negociate, « What »
Formalism shall be open, flexible, easy to understand
– Design, Verify& validate, « How »
Formalism shall be precise, simulation ready
Bridge between the two worlds « Contratualize »
– Two different viewpoints
– Synthesis/abstraction from the formal level, to communicate with
stakeholder using an appropriate formalism
– Manage traceability
29
17. Topics (3/4)
Is a standardized language like SysML appropriate
for an efficient modeling ?
Does « standardization » bring value ?
o E.g.: SDL standardized by ITU-T, but limited usage by the industry
A bridge between vairous industrial approaches:
o SysML and Architecture Frameworks,
o Scade-SysML, Matlab/SysML, SysML and Modélica ?
Is SysML still seen as an IT language ?
Should it be used in continuity with UML ?
30
18. Synthesis (3/4)
Is a standardized language like SysML appropriate
for an efficient modeling ?
SysML:
• SysML being a « standard » is a major reason for the growing interest
– Risk minimisation: « Being wrong alone » < « Being wrong together » <
« Being right alone »
SysML acceptance is variable
• For computer science people, it is a generic language
• For non IT people, it is a sowtware oriented language
• No standard methodology
– Need for CSEP/OCSMP engineers
Efficent use
• Reuse is a must (design patterns, products line modeling)
Standardized Domain Specific Languages ?
31
19. Topics (4/4)
What is missing for system-level validation
based on simulation ? Or formal proof ?
Level of details necessary for simulation
Simulation partial models, abstract models
Relationship with the real world
o Real-time, human factors, non-determinism, dysfunctionnal …
Modeling properties is an additional cost
o Learning an additional language
o Doubling the modeling effort
32
20. Synthèse(4/4)
What is missing for system-level validation
based on simulation ? Or formal proof ?
Not so many feedbacks for system-level simulation
o ROI hard to evaluate
o Large gap between a descriptive model and a simulated model
o Modeling transverse aspects is hard(eg: Human Factors)
Most of the simulation is done at sub-systems level, with domain specific languages
and tools
System-level simulation is applied when mandatory (e.g.: Safety)
Property verification
– Identification of emerging properties
• Dimension constraints, constraints on environment
– Some isolated exampels of projects using formal verification
