Presentations
TUTORIAL: Business Modeling in TOGAF™

In this tutorial, the speaker will describe how to execute Phase B: Business Architecture of TOGAF. Topics of discussion will include:

  • 1) the appropriate level of detail for the Baseline and Target Business Architecture,
  • 2) relevant industry standards and reference models for business modeling,
  • 3) how to identify business architecture building blocks, and
  • 4) and how to perform gap analysis and produce the Business Architecture Report

Model-Driven SOA

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is the latest rage promising increased agility in meeting changing business needs and offering higher levels of interoperability. While the many SOA standards and technologies can and have provided these benefits, it is not always clear how an organization goes about describing a SOA and how that description relates to other business and systems models they already have (or need to develop). In this presentation, the speaker will describe one of the submissions to the Object Management Group (OMG) for the UML Profile and Metamodel for Services (UPMS) specification, how it can be used to describe a SOA, and be integrated into the typical business and system models that organizations have traditionally created.
