Big data and digital ecosystem mark skilton jan 2014 v1Mark Skilton
The convergence of data and technology in business has created a range of digital experiences that are revolutionizing all industries and organization.
This is not just a “top and tail” exercise of innovation and development resulting in quick fixes for parts of your organization to launch marketing services on a mobile device or data analysis but needs to be taken into a serious framework for your operating strategy that drives all touch points in the front and back of your organization. Often “technoconfusion” is created or even encouraged with lots of technologies and integration layers which result in a piecemeal digital strategy for business performance and an ineffective business case and governance process. Often the results are seen in lack of data visibility, increasing costs of platform integration and complex services and contractual issues limiting longer term choice.
The realities of the digital world are more subtle and expansive in 2014 and beyond; the old style of layers of technology is giving way to a new era of digital modularity of systems and devices that enable generative business growth effects from self-service and massive scaled social and marketplace services. This is born out with the exponential scaling of open APIs, massive data and social networking and the growth of a range of internet enabled modular devices and cloud enabled platforms.

Luis Garza - Changing the way people find experts at CEMEXLetsConnect
In the last three years CEMEX has generated large amounts of knowledge by using communities in their Shift communities based on Connections. CEMEX now needed to take advantage of the content in Shift communities to:
Identify expertise topics and “hidden” experts, develop new experts and drive value creation through knowledge sharing. Together with IBM Research, they developed a functionality called “Expediting Expertise” with the objective of providing an expertise model where information is analyzed automatically, content is organized in relevant topics and personalized action plans are created.
Other projects are also being developed with IBM partners as we speak in CEMEX, in order to leverage the use of the Activity Stream and to display community information in an organized manner, depending on the development of those tracks until the day of the event, those topics could also be gladly shared during the case study session.

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).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

for Architecture requirements we first created. Some significant examples include:
• UML It was first added to the list of OMG adopted technologies in 1997
• Business Process Modeling,
• BPMN created early 2001/2 – merged with OMG in 2005
• BPEL4WS April 2003 (IBM,Microsoft, SAP, Siebel) submitted to OASIS. WS-BPEL Sept 2004.
• June 2007 BPEL4People (Active Endpoints, Adobe Systems, BEA, IBM, Oracle, SAP)

The first steps
We established a new Project called CIEL – Cloud Interactive Ecosystem
Language in Mid 2011 in The Open Group Cloud Computing Work Group
We introduced CIEL into our own companies to test the ideas and
launched initiatives to engage University and open discussion
We developed ideas to understand how better to Visualize the Ecosystem
Challenges:
• What are the Boundaries or Domains?
• How do we visualize solutions ?
• How do we define the symbols ?
• What problems are we trying to solve ?
• How do we manage semantics , meaning of the symbols and relationships ?
• How do we link with other symbols and standards ?
• ..

We can summarize our approach into three areas we are
aiming at
Visualization of Conceptual Domain
• Position the model as a visualization method first
Symbol System - Signage - Semiotics
• Designing a Set of Symbols that could be easy to use
Augment – fit it along side and support current architectural design styles
(not replace them)
• Aim to has some meaning in the symbols notation such that it supports the aims of the
notation goals. We must define some Semantic notation to make the symbols
meaningful
We believe the key benefits is in the ability to use a new way to show Human and
System communities and multiple devices, and services that represent a distributed
Architectural Environment

Our aim in CIEL is to focus on the Practical Intentions of
the systems and people involved using a simple
notation
So how can we create a new Visualization Notation ?
Create Symbols
Library (Semiotics)
Create Visualization
model (Pragmatics)
Create Vocabulary
of Visualization (Semantics)
But just enough to support basic
meaning
We link to specific Semantic and
Information systems Design
Ease of use
Focus on
Multi-system

Aimed at Ecosystems

Core Principles
31. Synthetic Spheres copyright 2012
Basic CIEL example – An ecosystem may have domains and entities
that interact. The example here is groups of users and resources being
shared or dedicated to a group
Ecosystem

32. Synthetic Spheres copyright 2012
Basic CIEL example – the ecosystem may have many
ecosystems inside it. The ecosystem can also be part
of other ecosystem of ecosystems

Summary – basic CIEL example shows how
ecosystem has many parts and may contain many
systems, resources and relationships.
These have a common structure.

Summary – Basic CIEL example shows the development of
boundary and domain structures in the ecosystem. These
are system of systems structures

Vocabulary
• Ecosystem (Financial, Technical, Social, Enviro..)
• Domain (Virtualization, organization, marketplace..)
• Node (Connection point)
• Edge Domain (Meta data)
• Community
• Network (open, closed, Public, Private)
• Group
• Connection (open , closed, Public, Private)
• Information
• Metric
• Entity (Resource – tangible, Intangible)
• ..
We aim to use
references to existing
Terminology where possible
For example in ISO JC38
In The Open Group TOGAF
Or OASIS (TOSCA) is using
these terms
We recognize some terminology
may be ambiguous and want
to remove these where possible
example: Boundary.

Existing notations
• Our aim is to create a visualization notation that redefined how system domains are
drawn to express social, agile cloud enabled ecosystems
• Its intended to be a communication tool, easy to use and create visuals representations
for business and IT strategic planning and communication
• We aim to introduce an abstraction that is showing groups of systems, communities and
services
• We aim to introduce symbols that visualize specific strategic planning conceptual
requirements that CIEL can help visualize. These can include symbols and model methods
to visualize
– Metrics for business and IT performance of a system or an entire ecosystem (example a marketplace)
– status of trust of each domain (open , closed)
– Sustainability and green credentials of domains and behavior
• The symbol set and model relations may be potentially different to existing UML, Process
and Architecture because
– It aims to show visual groups of systems to systems
– Its aim is to show social networks and resources groups
– Its aim is to show processes but within communities and groups (not specific business process design)

Conclusions
Aim to develop CIEL as a Visualization aid for Strategic Ecosystem Design
It “Augments” the existing methods and tools, not replace them
• Help visualize Strategic Scenarios, Solution Architectures, Visualize RAs
It can sit on top of formal Architecture methods , not replace it
• Augment technical solution models
• Augment Business Architectural design
• It could be a symbol library plug in to many existing Architect tools
Business Case
• Its fast and ease of use to communicate large scale system of systems ideas and concept
• It’s a Visual notation that is language independent and system independent
• Its an accelerator to improve modeling and planning of the strategic value of Cloud enabled
environments
Next immediate Step: White Paper on Basic Visualization Method of CIEL and
vocabulary with examples
