This document discusses the importance of governance in software development for service-oriented architectures (SOA). It notes that while developers are often resistant to governance requirements, governance is necessary to realize the benefits of SOA like reuse and agility. The document recommends that organizations provide training, tools, and incentives to help developers adopt governance practices and reduce the perceived burden on their work.
This document provides an introduction to service modeling for SOA projects. It discusses that service modeling is part of the service-oriented analysis process and produces conceptual service definitions called service candidates. It describes different types of services like entity services, utility services, and task services. It also covers topics like service layers, service granularity, and SOA project roles. The document aims to establish foundational concepts and terminology for service modeling in SOA.

How to Evaluate a Clinical Analytics Vendor: A ChecklistHealth Catalyst
Based on 25 years of healthcare IT experience, Dale outlines a detailed set of criteria for evaluating clinical analytic vendors. These criteria include 1) completeness of vision, 2) culture and values of senior leadership, 3) ability to execute, 4) technology adaptability and supportability, 5) total cost of ownership, 6) company viability, and 7) nine elements of technical specificity including data modeling, master data management, metadata, white space data, visualization, security, ETL, performance and utilization metrics, hardware and software infrastructure.
Organizational Structure Of A Hospital[1]jawadorak
The organizational structure of a hospital facilitates efficient management by establishing lines of authority and accountability. Larger hospitals have more complex structures than smaller facilities. Hospital departments are generally grouped into administration services, informational services, therapeutic services, diagnostic services, and support services. Administration oversees budgets, policies and public relations. Informational services handle admissions, billing, records and technology. Therapeutic services provide treatment. Diagnostic services determine causes of illness or injury. Support services maintain supplies and the facility. Understanding the organizational chart helps navigate a hospital's departments and staff.
The MD Anderson / IBM Watson Announcement: What does it mean for machine lear...Health Catalyst
It’s been over six years since IBM’s Watson amazed all of us on Jeopardy, but it has yet to deliver similar breakthroughs in healthcare. The headlines in last week’s Forbes article read, “MD Anderson Benches IBM Watson In Setback For Artificial Intelligence In Medicine.” Is it really a setback for the entire industry or not? Health Catalyst’s EVP for Product Development, Dale Sanders, believes that the challenges are unique to IBM’s machine learning strategy in healthcare. If they adjust that strategy and better manage expectations about what’s possible for machine learning in medicine, the future will be brighter for Watson, their clients, and AI in healthcare, in general. Watson’s success is good for all of us, but it’s failure is bad for all of us, too.
Join Dale as he discusses:
The good news: Machine learning technology is accelerating at a rate beyond Moore’s Law. Dale believes that machine learning algorithms and models are doubling in capability every six months.
The bad news: The healthcare data ecosystem is not nearly as rich as many would believe, and certainly not as rich as that used to train Watson for Jeopardy. Without high-volume, high-quality data, Watson’s potential and the constant advances in machine learning algorithms will hit a glass ceiling in healthcare.
The best news: By adjusting strategy and expectations, there are still plenty of opportunities to do great things with machine learning by using the current data content in healthcare, while we build out the volume and breadth of data we need to truly understand the patient at the center of the healthcare picture… and you don’t need an army of PhD data scientists to do it.
Healthcare Information Systems - Past, Present, and FutureHealth Catalyst
The document discusses the evolution of healthcare information systems from the 1960s to present day. It begins with early systems focused on hospital accounting and administrative functions. Over time, systems expanded to support clinical departments, integrated hospital operations, and began incorporating patient data. The proliferation of these transaction systems created large amounts of siloed healthcare data. Today, chief information officers are under pressure to implement enterprise analytics solutions to merge this data and drive performance improvement through analysis of comprehensive clinical and operational information.

Manas Deb Maturity Models And Roadmap PlaningSOA Symposium
This document summarizes a presentation on SOA maturity and roadmap planning given at the International SOA Symposium in Amsterdam in October 2008. The presentation discusses exploring business agility, expectations and realities of SOA adoption, and a methodology-based approach for SOA success. It provides background on SOA and its potential to integrate applications, build business process agility through composable services, and improve operational control.
This document discusses project management methodologies for service-oriented architecture (SOA) projects. It introduces established project management approaches and how SOA can be integrated. Key points of SOA-driven project management discussed include using SOA artifacts for control, leveraging SOA to decompose projects, and an iterative development approach using service contracts. It also covers configuration management and testing considerations for SOA projects.
The document introduces service-oriented architecture (SOA) and provides recommendations for adopting an SOA approach. It states that SOA is something you do through architectural design principles rather than something you build or buy. It notes that SOA can deliver significant benefits but also risks, and requires changes to culture, processes and incentives. The document recommends taking a long term, incremental approach to SOA adoption, prioritizing high value projects, and focusing on governance.
SOA is an architectural paradigm for building distributed systems from loosely coupled services. It allows different systems with different owners to interoperate. Key concepts of SOA include services, interoperability, and loose coupling. Realizing SOA requires the right infrastructure, architecture, processes and governance to handle heterogeneity and flexibility across systems. SOA is not a specific technology, but rather a style of building applications.
Business Results: Get there faster with SOA GovernanceKelly Emo
This presentation was developed for Integration Developer News SOA GovCon VII. It is HP's Point of View on how SOA Governance can accelerate IT's ability to successfully roll out new SOA projects to meet business needs.
The SOA Alliance is a global community dedicated to advancing service-oriented architecture (SOA) as the dominant IT model for 21st century enterprises. The Alliance consists of end-users, vendors, standards groups, and academics with the mission to position SOA as the prevailing enterprise computing paradigm. The document outlines three strategies for the Alliance: 1) prove and promote SOA's value to business executives, 2) accelerate enterprise business architecture as a critical competency, and 3) create a robust global Alliance.
SOA is one of the most important trends in Information Technology today.
SOA is now a top priority in most organizations.
SOA is receiving all this attention because of the great potential value it offers to those who pursue it.
If an organization achieves a mere fraction of the total potential value of SOA, it will be significant to that organization's bottom line, competitive posture, and overall operational effectiveness.
That is why SOA is such an important strategic initiative to pursue. SOA makes too much sense technically and financially .
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) [4/5] : SOA GovernanceIMC Institute
This document discusses SOA governance. It begins by outlining some of the challenges of SOA adoption, including lack of standards and organizational change. It then defines SOA governance as the processes used to oversee and control SOA implementation according to recognized practices. Key components of governance include a registry, policies, and testing. The document also discusses design time and runtime governance, as well as technologies that support governance like ESBs, repositories, and governance products. It concludes with checklists and best practices for implementing SOA governance.
This whitepaper discusses how a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach can help build interoperability, agility, and flexibility in mission critical systems like Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) systems. SOA involves exposing independent application functions as reusable services that can be combined to create composite applications. This loose coupling allows systems to evolve incrementally. The paper provides an example of an SOA-based work order processing system that leverages existing applications from different vendors to create a centralized business process. Benefits of the SOA approach include effective reuse of enterprise components, increased interoperability, data standardization, and the flexibility to modify business processes over time.

Transformation of the Enterprise to SOAtom termini
A Service Oriented Architecture SOA Roadmap provides guidance and coordination. All roadmap building follows the same four steps:
•Where are we now?
•Where do we want to be?
•What is the gap between the two?
•What is the path to get to where we want to be?
These steps require a consistent measurement to
assess current state and progress toward the goal.
Enterprise architecture and service oriented architecture (SOA) go hand-in-glove, as Tom Termini writes in his book, Zen of SOA. “The Zen of SOA,” Tom Termini, co-founder of BlueDog — which designs SOA solutions for the public and private sectors — contends that a Zen approach can give organizations a comprehensive blueprint for modern software architectures. BlueDog has helped federal organizations such as the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission implement SOA and Web services.
SOA governance is important for aligning IT initiatives like web services and SOAs with business requirements and managing risks. Key components of SOA governance include a service registry, policies, and testing. Governance ensures quality, consistency and performance across the service lifecycle from design to production. Implementing SOA governance provides benefits like greater business alignment, control over services, and compliance with regulations. Technologies like ESBs and service registries play important roles. Success requires organizational acceptance, communication, and monitoring business value.
The information overload on SOA is largely on describing the merits of SOA, principles of SOA and the vast variety of products intended to address SOA needs. There is, however, an acute scarcity of information on SOA implementation to bridge the gap between wanting to get started and actually
deploying a game plan where the rubber hits the road. This document is written to identify the factors to be considered, articulate the principles and questions to be asked that will drive the decisions within each enterprise towards creating a road map for implementation.

It describes how extracting decision logic from processes into transparent decision services supported by a BRMS allows business users to define and maintain rules-based decisions. This improves process maintenance, consistency, and transparency while reducing costs and speeds up change cycles. The presentation provides examples of how various organizations have benefited from taking this approach.
Jim Webber Guerrilla S O A With Web ServicesSOA Symposium
This document summarizes a presentation on implementing SOA without relying on proprietary integration middleware like ESBs. It argues that SOA is best realized using open web services standards and keeping integration logic decentralized rather than centralized in a vendor-controlled bus. Adopting this "guerrilla SOA" approach avoids lock-in and allows services to evolve independently over time in a loosely coupled way.
This document discusses an ESB symposium that took place in Amsterdam on October 7-8, 2008. It includes information on sponsors and an agenda item about real-life ESB use cases, deployment scenarios, and experiences. The remainder of the document consists of presentation slides covering various ESB patterns and concepts such as protocol bridging, security, transformations, routing, monitoring, and asynchronous delivery. Risks of ESB implementations are also examined.
The document discusses operationalizing service-oriented architecture (SOA). It recommends integrating development and operations to improve service quality. It also recommends building an SOA architecture with a vision for the future, focusing on SOA management best practices from past projects, and taking an exemplary project approach that runs functional and operational activities in parallel.
The document discusses several key organizational and management issues that are vital to the success of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business process management (BPM) initiatives. It notes that SOA and BPM projects often cross organizational boundaries and systems, requiring new approaches to areas like project management, development processes, and governance. Specifically, it recommends having an enterprise architecture group to provide guidance and ensure cohesion across projects, as well as establishing an enterprise projects group and key leadership roles to manage multi-silo initiatives.
This document summarizes an SOA case study of a flight data processing system used by an air traffic control organization. It describes how the system uses an enterprise service bus architecture with decision services, routing services, transformation services, and message-oriented middleware. The system allows flight plans to be processed according to business rules, routed to the correct recipients, and supports various data and protocol standards.
This document summarizes a presentation on policy-based runtime governance for SOA applications. It discusses how policies can specify governance constraints declaratively, provide benefits like improved productivity and reduced policy obsolescence, and be enforced at runtime using a policy engine. The architecture involves defining policies for stakeholders like business operations and security, and enforcing them at runtime execution points across the service network.
Mark Little Web Services And TransactionsSOA Symposium
This document summarizes a presentation on transactions for web services. It discusses relaxing the ACID properties for web services, including relaxing isolation, atomicity, and consistency. It describes the WS-AtomicTransaction and WS-BusinessActivity specifications that define transaction models for closely coupled and long duration activities respectively. The presentation concludes that transactions are still important but the definition needs to be rethought for web services, and that OASIS WS-TX provides standard transaction protocols.
This document provides a summary of a presentation on developing a Composability Index to evaluate how well designed SOA interfaces support composition. The presentation discusses 11 composability quality aspects that could be used to calculate an Index, including considerations around ACID transactions, loop invocations, exception handling, availability and statelessness.

This presentation discusses SOA governance essentials. It defines SOA as services being shared across organizational boundaries, requiring governance to establish rules for service creation, usage, and management. It outlines the need for both run-time governance, enforced by systems to monitor service usage, and design-time governance, enforced by processes to guide service development. Finally, it addresses organizational issues in coordinating governance across multiple projects and establishing an enterprise architecture function to manage overall SOA adoption.

In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
