Tutorial 1 : An Introduction to TOGAF
Sunday 20th April 2008, 17:30-18:30, Judith Jones,
Architecting-the-Enterprise
Overview
The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is a
comprehensive framework and methodology which enables the design,
evaluation
and implementation of the right Architecture for an Enterprise. It has
been evolved continuously within The Open Group's
Architecture Forum over the past twelve years, and its development has
been guided by and based on the knowledge and experience of
Open Group members who are practicing Enterprise and IT Architects
working for a wide range of enterprises throughout the
world.
This tutorial describes what the Architecture Forum has
achieved so far in the development of the "Enterprise Edition" of
TOGAF,
Version 8, and shows how the Forum is responding to new challenges.
Topics covered include: The Open Group Architecture Forum; the
motivation for developing TOGAF; TOGAF components; the TOGAF
Architecture Development Method (ADM); other aspects of TOGAF; other
activities of the Architecture Forum; plans for the future.

Tutorial 2 : I've downloaded
TOGAF Now What?
Sunday 20th April 2008, 18:30 - 19:30, Sanda Morar,
Infosys
Overview
This
tutorial is based on the author's real life experience. Sanda has
walked the journey from literally "I've Downloaded TOGAF
Now What?" to delivering a very successful customisation of the
TOGAF framework for a big corporation. This session will cover a real
life definition of TOGAF, what it is and what it is not and key
framework concepts. It includes how to approach the ADM; the pros and
cons of different approaches; what is missing from the ADM; how
to create a metamodel in two weeks,;how to extend TOGAF for example to
incorporate SOA or security, and what to do next. At key points real
examples will be provided from the author's own experience.
