Capability Patterns as the Enablers for Model-based Development of Business C...CaaS EU FP7 Project
Lately the notion of capability has emerged in information system engineering as the means to support development of context dependent organizational solutions and supporting IT applications. To this end a Capability Driven Development (CDD) approach has been proposed. As key part of CDD is the concept of patterns that is used to support the capability design from existing solutions as well as the adjustment of the capability delivery at run-time. A pattern template and meta-model is presented together with the CDD lifecycle that incorporates pattern development and use. The initial experiences of use of the patterns as part of CDD at three industrial use cases are also presented.

A Reference Model Based Design of Supply Chain Management CapabilitiesCaaS EU FP7 Project
This document discusses using the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model as a reference for designing supply chain management capabilities. It outlines mapping SCOR processes and attributes to a capability model. An example capability for demand fulfillment is presented, showing how it is based on SCOR delivery processes and uses patterns to operationalize process variants according to different contexts. The capability design process applies patterns after selecting a process, variants, goals and contexts. SCOR provides specifications for capability processes while patterns allow for contextualization.
Applying Capability Modelling in the Genomics Diagnosis Domain: Lessons Learned CaaS EU FP7 Project
Because of the evolution of sequencing technologies, tailored software is a must in the genetic diagnosis domain. Bioinformatics Workflow Management Systems (BWMS) are a popular software for geneticists to describe workflows for analysing genomic data. Although these systems improve development productivity, they are far from being widely accepted by this community. The lack of rigorous conceptual modelling-practices explains the complexity to adapt this genetic analysis software to context changes. In order to face this adaptation issue, we propose using the capability notion as a modelling primi-tive for providing a sound conceptual background. This paper analyses, from a capability-driven perspective, how daily practices in a bioinformatics SME could be represented as capabilities. From this real scenario, we state current capabilities and explain how they can be supported using current BWMS. As a lessons learned, we discuss how the introductions of capability-driven de-velopment could improve their daily work.
Authors: Francisco Valverde & Maria José Villanueva
The document summarizes the key concepts and methodology of Capability Driven Development (CDD) for designing context-aware enterprise applications.

COBI 2014 - Designing a Meta Model as the Foundation for Compliance CapabilityCaaS EU FP7 Project
The goal of this paper lead by FR, which was presented at the Cobi 2014 workshop as full paper, is to depict compliance concepts and the relations between them, as a conceptual meta-model. It aims to assist business analysts to extract compliance rules from compliance documents and to enable compliance enforcement in all the phases of business process lifecycle.
2014 Asdenca - Capability-based business model transformationCaaS EU FP7 Project
These slides present an approach to support organizational change by the use of a capability based recursive analysis, and a set of improvement patterns. The recursive analysis is based on resource types, and capability sub-types. Also the approach is illustrated by using several examples taken from the industry.
2014 Asdenca - Capability-driven development of a soa platform, a case studyCaaS EU FP7 Project
These slides describe the EVR case study that focuses on capability modelling within a service-oriented architecture development project. The paper discusses the lessons learned, as well as open challenges to feedback the improvement of the CDD methodology.
This document discusses the concept of capability and proposes using a capability-driven approach to software development. It defines capability as the ability and capacity to continuously deliver business value in changing circumstances. It suggests taking a goals-process-context approach by (1) defining organizational goals, (2) modeling the processes to achieve those goals, and (3) adding context to plan for different situations. This capability-based framework would integrate goals, processes and dynamic contexts using a capability metamodel. It argues that many software systems fail because these elements are not properly integrated.
2014 Asdenca - On the applicability of concepts from variability modelling in...CaaS EU FP7 Project
The document introduces concepts from variability modeling into capability modeling. It discusses definitions of capabilities, capability meta-models, and variability modeling concepts. An industrial case study of a business process outsourcing company is presented where variability points and aspects are applied. Variation points identify locations of variation in capability models, while variation aspects represent contextual factors. The concepts are formally defined and applied to the industrial case to demonstrate how variability modeling can enhance flexibility in capability models. Future work to further develop and validate the approach is discussed.
2014 asdenca - An outlook on patterns as an aid for business and it alignment...CaaS EU FP7 Project
This document discusses the use of patterns to aid in business and IT alignment capabilities. It defines patterns, provides examples of pattern use from various organizations, and discusses challenges in supporting capability delivery through patterns. Patterns capture recurring solutions to problems in a generic and reusable way. They can be used to share and apply organizational knowledge and best practices. However, challenges remain in formalizing patterns and representing different types of models and solutions within patterns.
The main goal of the CaaS project is to bring about a shift from the service-oriented paradigm to a capability delivery paradigm. This puts particular focus on the context in which digital enterprises make their business, requiring customisation of the business offerings as the context of delivery changes. The CaaS project aims to facilitate configuration of business services and development of executable software to monitor the fitness of purpose of these services to evolving business contexts and where necessary to adjust these services according to the context. To this end, the CaaS project will deliver the Capability Driven Development (CDD) approach that will allow digital enterprises to exploit the notion of ‘capability’ as a means of both designing for services and operating with services.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
