Spotlight: Exploration, Mining, Metals and Minerals (EMMM) Forum

The EMMM™ Forum

The Open Group Exploration, Mining, Metals, and Minerals (EMMM) Forum is an industry forum operating under the auspices of The Open Group. The Forum is responsible for delivering the applicable models and standards for the exploration and mining industry, focusing on metals and minerals, and thus owns the EM Model.

The Forum is a collaboration between organizations in the exploration, mining, metals, and minerals industry sectors and the suppliers to these industries. It is specifically identified as an industry vertical effort, since it does not extend its focus beyond the specific industry. The EMMM Forum applies a disciplined approach to produce an industry reference framework that spans both business and technology in order to support business agility, understand complexity, and enable the acceleration of change towards enterprise goals such as shared services.

Download the Exploration and Mining Business Reference Model: Concepts and Definitions

This document explains the concepts and definitions within the Exploration and Mining Business Reference Model – the first reference model delivered by The Open Group EMMM Forum.

This Standard consists of two deliverables:

• The business reference model diagram
• The concepts and definitions document that define the concepts in the diagram.  

TOGAF® as a Powerful Tool to Kickstart Business Transformation

Peter Haviland, Chief Business Architect, Ernst & Young
Martin Keywood, IT Advisory Partner, Ernst & Young

TOGAF® is a powerful tool to kickstart business transformation -- "12 weeks + 500K = twice the accuracy, half the risk."
Business transformation is a tricky beast. It requires many people to be bought in to a singular vision, and it requires even more people to be aligned to an often multi-year execution program throughout which personal and organization priorities will change. As a firm with considerable business architecture and transformation experience, Ernst & Young deploys multi-discplinary teams of functional and technical experts and uses a number of approaches, anchored on TOGAF®, to address these issues. This is necessary to get a handle on the complexity inherent to today's business environment so that stakeholders are aligned and remain actively engaged, past investments in both processes and systems can be maximized, and transformation programs are set up for success and can be driven with sustained momentum. 

In this session Peter Haviland and Martin Keywood will take us through EY's Transformation Design approach; an approach that, within 12 weeks, can define a transformation vision, get executives on board, create a high level multi-domain architecture, broadly outline transformation alternatives and finally provide initial estimates of the necessary work packages to achieve transformation. They will also share case studies and metrics from the approach from financial services, oil & gas, and professional services sectors. The session should interest executives looking to increase buy-in amongst their peers, or professionals charged with stakeholder engagement & alignment. It will also show how specifically to use the TOGAF framework within this situation.

Audience:
Business executives in charge of transformations, business leaders looking to start transformation, strategy or planning professionals seeking new ways to improve estimate accuracy, transformation professionals looking for different ways to engage stakeholders, architects looking for different ways to use architecture

Key learning points:
1) See how others are using this approach to engage a broad selection of stakeholders in super quick time
2) Learn how to use TOGAF for transformation planning
3) See what other companies are doing to combat transformation fatigue and staff attrition
4) Learn how to link architecture to solution alternatives, and alternatives to estimates

Cloud Infrastructure as an Enabler of Innovation in Enterprises

Peter Dalmaris, Principal, EA Principals, US

Cloud computing is transforming the way enterprises implement and use technology. The impact is material in multiple levels: functional, financial, geo-spatial, strategic. This kind of transformation is predominately top-down, whereby high-level management considers, decides, and executes Cloud initiative. Typically, such initiatives have a considerable cost and depth in time.

At another level, Cloud computing is a force that brings extra-ordinary freedom to enterprises, and for some this freedom is daunting. This freedom relates to the confidence enterprises have in being innovative.

In my talk I wish to present some insights on the use of Cloud infrastructure to energise the creativity of people at the 'bottom' level of the enterprise, and especially the influence of the Cloud in delivering capability for rapid and low-cost prototype development and scalable design principles. I will do this by drawing examples from my own small projects completed in the last two years, and how the Cloud enabled a small team of innovators to deliver real applications that can be easily scaled indefinitely without a need for architectural change.

During my presentation I will briefly discuss the specific technologies I have used in my own work, how these technologies made rapid prototyping possible, how they translated to a competitive advantage, and how they can be used by enterprises large and small.

Key takeaways:

-- Cloud computing is a competitive playing field leveller
-- Cloud computing is a powerful enabler of innovation and scalable design principles
-- Enterprise must consider carefully the use of Cloud computing infrastructure and design principles as part of their innovation strategy

Peter Dalmaris is an Electrical Engineer, and an educator for over 10 years teaching programming, management information systems and Innovation Management. He has completed a PhD in Business Process management and Knowledge Management. He also holds two Masters degrees in Engineering, and likes making cloud-based applications. He is fascinated by the potential of the cloud to transform enterprises, small or large.

A Business Interoperability Framework for Government

Christine Stephenson, Enterprise Services Manager, Enterprise Architects, Australia

Despite the focus on eGovernment and the delivery of seamless services to citizens, Government continues to be challenged to deliver business interoperability goals. Interviews with Government Enterprise Architecture stakeholder and a search of the literature suggests why government has failed to achieve seamless service delivery. It appears that interoperability in government is largely a combination of bottom-up, standards or application design based approaches. These result in Information Systems solutions that achieve interoperability within the application and technology domains, but not the business domain. Consequently, the public sector operates as a fractured collection of departments, with much complexity and bureaucracy reducing the effectiveness and efficiency of service delivery. The Business Interoperability Framework (BIF) draws from three disciplines of management practice and applies industry standards. These practice areas are; Enterprise Architecture; Service Oriented Architecture; and Business Process Management. The frameworks, standards/specifications that will be referenced are ISO/IEC 10746 (RM-ODP), TOGAF®, OASIS, UMM, BMM, BPMN and ISO 15000.

Key takeaways:

-- How to achieve top-down business interoperability outcomes
-- An architected framework for business success
-- Methods and tools that can be used to deliver business/IT alignment

With industry expertise that includes strength in manufacturing and logistics, airline, travel, tourism, health and government Christine Stephenson has managed a broad spectrum of projects, for global organisations and government agencies. She is completing a Professional Doctorate in IT Management through UNISA and will deliver a Business Interoperability Framework for Government.

You Can Forget an Integrated Mining Value Chain without a Reference Architecture

Mark Winship, BedrockMG Pty Ltd, Australia; and
Peter Mclure, CIO, Minerals and Metals Group (MMG), Australia

Most miners are looking to move to an integrated business model encompassing diverse areas such as mine planning, pit to port supply chain and workforce management. With the surging volume of available data and the integrated relevance of this data, the complexity of delivering automation and management information is skyrocketing. The presentation will discuss how reference models with broader industry recognition can address this challenge across different levels of the business and ICT management.

Key takeaways:

• Clarity around the challenges related to an integrated mining value chain.
• How to practically align reference models to the maturity level of different mining businesses.
• Contribution of reference models in guiding systems investments

Mark Winship had a senior leadership and executive (General Manager) role in the strategic development and execution of Rio Tinto’s global Business Transformation project, ABS. He also lead the development of Rio Tinto’s global and corporate Information Systems & Technology strategies. Prior to Rio Tinto he was a Principal at Deloitte Consulting where he consulted to a large number of mining companies on five continents, where he specialised in bringing Manufacturing Best Practices to the Resources Industry. He also Directed or Quality Assured large Business Transformation projects at, amongst others, Defence, John Deere, Smiths Snackfoods and Queensland Cotton. Mark’s previous nine years at Unilever in Process Control, Business Analysis and SAP Project Management included significant international training in manufacturing, maintenance, supply chain and management accounting best practices.

Mark’s early years in process control in the sugar industry gave him a good grasp of the variability issues faced in a process plant with variable (sugar cane) inputs. This background puts Mark in a good position to once again take Manufacturing Best Practice in the form of Theory of Constraints (TOC) and, with suitable adaptation and extensions, to apply this best practice to the Resource Industry in the form of Mineral Resource Throughput Management (MRTM), which has both an academically accepted sound theoretical basis as well a very creditable and proven implementation track record.

Panel: The Use of Cloud in the Finance and Commercial Sectors

Facilitator: Dr. Chris Harding, Director of Platform 3.0, The Open Group

Panelists: Peter Haviland, Ernst and Young, US; Peter Dalmaris, EA Principals, US; and Sunil KempeGowda, CC&C Solutions, Australia

This panel session will explore the provision of cloud-based financial and commercial services. Cloud Computing has proven benefits, particularly in delivering lower operational costs and faster development of new features, but it is also a source of major concerns, particularly over data ownership and security. Many people feel that it is not an appropriate technology for the financial and commercial sectors, because of these concerns. Others see things rather differently. For example, a report from Accenture last year (http://www.accenture.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/Microsites/cloudstrategy/Accenture-A-New-Era-In-Banking-Cloud-Computing.pdf) suggests that, for banks, Cloud Computing is the future of IT. 

For internal, back-end functions, the concerns can easily be overcome by using private cloud, and this is an increasingly attractive option as the technology matures. A much more interesting question is the use of cloud for customer-facing systems. Major cloud providers have entered the financial sector with e-payment services. Traditional financial and commercial enterprises are coming under pressure to be available on-line 24 hours a day, and deliver the kind of products that e-customers now expect. 

The panel will discuss the new customer expectations, the security and data ownership concerns, and the kind of cloud-based technical solutions that financial and commercial enterprises can use and are using to deliver their products on-line.

Governance Gangnam Style

Geri Born, Enterprise Architect, Oracle Corporation, US

Governance often gets overlooked or becomes a point of contention for the architects responsible for delivering technical services. Through iterative and repeatable processes governance can enable both the technology and the business. Successful delivery of architecture includes a governance roadmap.

Examples will include:
1. Oracle: Information Technology faced similar hurdles as any public or private sector company struggling in trying to deliver business value.
2. State of Texas: Through the use of governance explained and mapped to the technical goals, the state of Texas is also on their way to providing a shared service model.

Key takeaways:

1. Governance can be a positive enabler for any organization struggling to offer shared services and/or cloud.
2. Governance forces the conversation of business and technical alignment.
3. Governance prioritizes and aligns the technical capabilities to business goals.

How to Ensure Privacy in Data Mining

Professor Ljiljana Brankovic, University of Newcastle, Australia

Data mining and statistical analysis are routinely used for research and strategic planning by companies, governments and research institutions alike. They both depend on massive databases often containing personal information collected by doctors, hospital, marketers, telephone providers and social networks, to mention but a few. It is commonly assumed that removing unique identifiers from personal records is sufficient to ensure that only aggregate values and patterns will be made available to users and that no confidential individual values could be disclosed. Unfortunately, this is not the case and additional measures are needed to ensure privacy. There are two general approaches to ensure this:

1) adding noise to the original data, and

2) restricting queries that can be asked of the database.

In either case, it may still be possible to "compromise" the database, that is, to compute individual values or other sensitive information from a suitable combination of aggregate values. In general, it is the matter of balance between utility and confidentiality of the data: absolute confidentiality would render data unusable, while unrestricted access to the data would provide little or no confidentiality.

In this talk we present novel protection techniques that allow data owners to find a preferred balance between the utility of data and the privacy of the individual records in the database.

Key takeaways:

This talk will
1) raise awareness of privacy issues in data mining
2) explain basic techniques for protecting privacy
3) give an insight into new techniques that can balance privacy and utility

Building a More Cohesive Organization Using Business Architecture

In shifting the focus away from enterprise architecture being seen purely as an IT discipline, organizations are beginning to formalise the development of business architecture practices and business architecture outcomes. The Open Group has made the differentiation between business, IT and enterprise architects through their various working groups and certification tracks. However, industry at present is grappling to try and understand where the discipline of business architecture resides in the business and what value it can provide separate of the traditional project based business analysis focus.

This presentation will take the audience through an overview of some of the critical questions being asked by business and how these are addressed through the discipline of business architecture. Using both method as well as case study examples, I will show the audience an approach to building more cohesion across the business landscape using business architecture techniques and artefacts. The presentation will focus on using business motivation models, strategic scenario planning and capability based planning techniques to provide input into the strategic planning process. It will also highlight some of the outputs examples from engagements.

Intended audience: Business Stakeholders, Strategic and Business Planners, Enterprise Architects, Business Architects, Business Analysts

Key takeaways:
•    Overview of the business architecture discipline and how to differentiate this from the other disciplines
•    An overview of how to provide input into strategic scenarios using business architecture
•    Insight into the expected outcomes of a business architecture exercise using case examples
•    A view into some of the data reports that can be extracted and what business questions these can answer
•    A view into where business architecture provides value to business at a strategic level
•    An overview, using examples, of a strategic business architecture technique that complements the TOGAF® framework.

Finance Transofrmation Panel

Moderator: Chris Forde, VP Enterprise Architecture, The Open Group

Panelists include: 

This panel will discuss and field questions on the spectrum of use for Enterprise Architecture in Financial Services companies.  Topics will range from IT Architecture to Business Transformation and how Architecture relates to Corporate Governance, Mergers & Acquisitions.

Discussion will include:

How is architecture practice positioned in your Enterprise? For example, do you or others regard it as an EA or IT Architecture practice? What is your role and what do you find yourself and your team having to extend into?

What are the key drivers for your enterprise this year and looking forward?

How does architecture help address these drivers?

In your enterprise how is the value of architecture measured? Is there any difference in how you measure internally within the architecture practice, internally for the larger organisation and finally to your 3rd party partners and customers?

How has the approach to architecture changed in your enterprise since an architecture practice was initiated. What transitions or transformations have you seen and why were they necessary?

Agile EA in Government Business Transformations

Anders Jensen-Waud, Capgemini, Australia

Governments globally are increasingly focused on areas of priority to provide a public sector that can respond more effectively to the needs and expectations of its citizens. These priorities have to be delivered in a fiscal environment that has reducing resources, a demanding public, and increasing expected levels of service.

Large government change proigrammes are being forced to consider more immediate outcomes for government. For Enterprise Architecture functions, this requires radical re-think in the way that they support the transformational agenda.

We look at how an agile enterprise architecture approach can support large scale business transformations in government, balancing the need to deliver solution outcomes while supporting a wider cross government agenda.

Key takeaways:

-- Key insights into applying TOGAF in an agile manner to support a government business case process
-- How to balance top down architecture and bottom up architecture effort to drive transformational outcomes
-- How agile enterprise architecture forces a "conversation" with the business, accelerating transformational outcomes

Merger Transformation of Three Financial Firms: How TOGAF® and ArchiMate® Made This Possible

Henry Franken, CEO, BizzDesign, Netherlands

The case concern the merger of three previously independent insurance companies (named A,B, C), located in different metropolitan areas:
• A: specialized in homeowners and travel insurancance.
• B: specialized in auto insurance.
• C: a small company specialized in legal expense insurance.

ABC now offers all the insurance products of the original companies. It has a common front-office for customer contacts, and for each class of insurance products, there is a separate back-office, located at the headquarters of the original companies. The merger has resulted in a fragmented IT landscape: each of the original companies brought in their ‘heritage’ of legacy applications.tions. ABC wanted to rationalize their IT applications portfolio, to simplify the application landscape, improve consistency, reduce maintenance costs.This presentation shows how they did it using:

• TOGAF®: an Open Group standard - the leading method for EA development, including a process, techniques and best practices.
• ArchiMate®: an Open Standard modeling language for Enterprise Architecture

Henry Franken is chair of the ArchiMate Forum at The Open Group. Henry is co-founder of the BPM Forum Netherlands. He has co-authored several international publications and Open Group white papers.

Transforming DoD Avionics Software Industry through the Use of Open Standards

David Lounsbury, Chief Technical Officer, The Open Group
Kirk Avery, FACE™ Technical Working Group, Lockheed Martin, US

It is widely acknowledged throughout the DoD aviation community that most future expansion of aviation capability will come from integration of systems controlled by software. However, long lead times, cumbersome improvement processes, lack of re-use, platform-unique design, and extensive testing requirements characterize current DoD aviation software capability. Avionics software has been acquired and implemented without adherence to open standards, resulting in tightly coupled systems with unique interfaces that inhibit re-use and adversely affect interoperability. In addition, the current DoD procurement system does not support the process of hardware and software re-use across different programs. This results in higher costs and the inability to deliver capabilities to the war fighter in a timely manner.

With the fiscal environment being more constrained than ever, the US DoD avionics software community recognized that it is no longer possible to continue "business as usual", and is adopting a revolutionary approach, the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE™), to transform the DoD Avionics Software Industry through the use of open standards. In the current world of plug-and-play standards and portable applications for cell phones, the FACE Consortium Government and industry member organizations are defining both the technical and business infrastructure to enable avionics capabilities to be acquired in a similar manner. Business processes to adjust DoD procurement and incentivize industry, processes to support and promote development of re-usable software components, a technical standard for a software computing environment that promotes development of portable components between differing aviation architectures, and a conformance process to ensure these components are certified to conform to the technical standard are all methods to ensure Government and industry can both benefit from the broad adoption and implementation of the FACE Standard and business practices, and reach the ultimate goal of the FACE approach: to ensure that the warfighter continues to get best-in-class systems while lowering costs and reducing implementation times.

Key takeaways:

-- FACE Approach enables getting capabilities to the Warfighter faster and at an affordable cost

Has Anybody Seen My Data?

Stephen Whitlock, Information Security Chief Strategist, The Boeing Company, US

As the value of information and the extent of internet connectivity increase, the current model for protecting information is inadequate. This talk will focus on technical and business requirements for protecting information as well as an architecture for implementing fine grained data access control. The information will derive largely form the 2012 Data Protection paper published by the Open Group Jericho Forum.

Key takeaways:

-- Threats that increase the risk to information are growing.
-- Current information protection mechanisms are inadequate for business and technical needs.
-- There are new techniques for protecting information.

Stephen Whitlock has been responsible for information security vision, strategy and architecture for the Boeing Company for the past twelve years.

Risk-driven and Business-outcome-focused Enterprise Security Architecture Framework

Ana Kukec, Lead Enterprise Security Consultant, Enterprise Architects, Australia

The Open Group Architecture Forum and Security Forum agree that the coverage of security in TOGAF should be updated and improved. The understanding and focus of security architecture has moved from a threat-driven approach of addressing non-normative flaws through systems and applications to a risk-driven and business outcome-focused methodology of enabling a business strategy.

Following this trend, we defined fundamental characteristics of effective security architecture. 1) Capabilities are primary assets at risk, while information systems and technology components are secondary assets at risk supporting the primary assets. 2) Security requirements include the business aspects and not only the technology aspects of confidentiality, integrity and availability. 3) IT risk management is business-opportunity-driven. It requires understanding of risk appetite across business, information systems and technology architecture to manage security risks of vulnerabilities and compliance issues, which may arise at any layer of enterprise architecture in a business-outcome-focused way. 4) Security services are aligned to business drivers, goals and objectives, and managed in a risk-driven way.

Yet, there is no single security architecture development methodology to deliver these characteristics. We believe that existing information security standards and frameworks in a combination with the TOGAF are sufficient to meet the aforementioned fundamental characteristics of effective security architecture. However the challenge is in their integration. Our Enterprise Security Architecture Framework integrates key industry standards and best practices for information security and risk management, such as COBIT 5 for Information Security, ITILv3 Security Service Management, ISO/IEC 27000 and ISO/IEC 31000 families of standards, using the TOGAF Architecture Development Method and Content Meta-model as the key integrators. It is a pragmatic security architecture framework which establishes a common language between IT, security, risk and business organisations within an enterprise and ensures effective and efficient support of long-term security needs of both business and IT, with a risk-driven enterprise as a final outcome.

We will present a case study of the implementation of the aforementioned business-outcome-focused and risk-driven Enterprise Security Architecture Framework at the University of New South Wales.

Key takeaways:

-- Overview of a risk-driven and business-outcome-focused security architecture methodology seamlessly integrated with the TOGAF
    -> Security strategic planning
    -> Enterprise-wide compliance, internal (policies and standards) and external (laws and regulations
    -> Business-opportunity driven management of security risk of threats, vulnerabilities and compliance issues across business, information systems and technology architecture

ArchiMate® and the Australian Government Architecture (AGA): Realising the Vision of Whole-of-Government Coordination

Dr Daniel Moody, Director, Ozemantics Pty Ltd., Australia

The Australian Government Architecture (AGA) defines a standard framework (consisting of a set of reference models) against which government agencies can map their enterprise architectures. Its aim is to improve coordination both within and across agencies, streamline processes, reduce duplication and promote standardisation. It has been adopted by the Commonwealth and Victorian Governments, with other state governments likely to follow. ArchiMate is a language for modelling enterprise architectures, recently adopted as an international standard by the Open Group. It is one of the three most significant developments in the history of the enterprise architecture field, along with the Zachman framework and TOGAF®, and possibly the most influential of all. It provides enterprise architects with a common language, something they have never had before, and has the potential to unite the field in the same way UML has done in software development.

This presentation shows how ArchiMate can be used to translate the vision of the AGA into reality. It shows how the AGA itself can be modelled in ArchiMate and also how agency-level enterprise architectures can be modelled and mapped to the AGA classifications. ArchiMate provides a way of formalising the AGA reference models (that are currently only described informally) and for modelling agency architectures in a consistent way that supports reuse and standardisation. This greatly simplifies the process of adopting the AGA and supports systematic analysis of synergies, duplication and gaps.

Key takeaways:

-- How to model the Australian Government Architecture (AGA) using ArchiMate
-- How to model a government agency enterprise architecture using ArchiMate
-- How to map an enterprise architecture to the AGA
-- How to analyse an enterprise architecture for opportunities for integration, rationalisation and reuse

Dr. Daniel Moody is Director of Ozemantics Pty Ltd, a Sydney-based information management consultancy firm. He is recognised as one of Australia's leading experts in data modelling and data management and has an international reputation in these fields.

Driving Improved Customer Experience through Technology

Tien-Ti Mak, Chief Technology Officer, Australia Post, Australia

In many organizations, there is a huge amount of data about customers and what they expect (e.g. surveys, research etc). However, there is usually no way to translate those customer insights into technology requirements that can be architected, developed and implemented.

As part of a drive towards customer centricity, Australia Post, with the help of outside experts, recently developed a methodology and process to:

1) Understand and measure the customer experience using techniques such as Customer Journey Mapping
2) Map each part of the customer experience to the Business and IT Capabilities that enable it
3) Determine which capabilities would need to be created / enhanced in order to improve the customer experience
4) Prioritise enhancements based on which ones would drive the most value for our customers as well as our business

Creating a strong link (or line of sight) from technology to the customer experience has been a challenging and difficult task for Australia Post (and most other organisations). However, when done successfully, it provides a very strong motivation model for driving IT investments.

This presentation seeks to share some of our key techniques, experiences, and learnings on this topic.

Key takeaways:

-- How to understand and quantify the customer experience
-- How to map it to capabilities to create line of sight
-- How to prioritise in order to drive value for both customers as well as your business

Successful EA with the TOGAF® Framework and the ArchiMate® Modeling Language

Henry Franken, CEO, BizzDesign, Netherlands

A complete approach to Enterprise Architecture (EA) requires:

-- A framework describing architectural viewpoints;
-- A language for architectural descriptions;
-- A method for constructing architectures.

The TOGAF® 9 standard, an Open Group standard, is the defacto global standard for Enterprise Architecture. It is used by the world's leading organizations to improve business efficiency. ArchiMate®, an open and independent modelling language for enterprise architecture, provides instruments to enable enterprise architects to describe, analyze and visualize the relationships among business domains in an unambiguous way. It is supported by different tool vendors and consulting firms.

Just as an architectural drawing in classical building architecture describes the various aspects of the construction and use of a building, ArchiMate offers a common language for describing the construction and operation of business processes, organizational structures, information flows, IT systems, and technical infrastructure. This insight helps stakeholders to design, assess, and communicate the consequences of decisions and changes within and between these business domains. standard is the leading language for integrated EA modelling, describing the business, application and technology layers and their relationships. In a recent update of the language, two extensions have been added for modelling the motivation for the architecture (e.g., goals, principles and business requirements) and implementation and migration planning.

Based on a comprehensive case study of application portfolio rationalization in a post-merger insurance company, this presentation will show how ArchiMate is used with TOGAF to improve business efficiency.

Key takeaways:

-- Short introduction to the TOGAF® standard and the ArchiMate® EA modeling language
-- Demonstration of a complete real life case study.

Henry Franken is chair of the ArchiMate Forum at The Open Group. Henry is co-founder of the BPM Forum Netherlands. He has co-authored several international publications and Open Group white papers.

Role of the Enterprise Architect: From Corporate Strategy to IT Business Plan and Beyond

Glen Willis, Manager - Solution Architecture, Sydney Water, Australia

Enterprise architects are tasked with producing IT roadmaps that align to corporate strategy.

It is important to look at how this can be achieved and understand the strategic devleopment process, with the capability anchor model at its core.

It is not uncommon to encounter confusion around operational and strategic initiatives when formulating roadmaps and the subsequent programs of work.

Currently TOGAF is not strong in the solution architecture space, we need to understand the role of solution architecture in execution of the corporate strategy and Enterprise Architecture Roadmaps and how the capability anchor model again plays a central role.

Key takeaways:

-- Understand the drivers of corporate strategy

-- Understand the difference between strategic initiatives and operational initiatives in the program of work

-- Understand how to apply architecture assessments in solution design to keep strategic objectives the focus.

Enterprise Architect as Broker of Services

Marnix Gillis, IBM Distinguished Engineer, IBM, Belgium

With the growing success of cloud, most consultant companies agree that the job of a CIO is evolving from (business) manager of an IT department to a function as "broker of services", but shouldn't that be the role of an "enterprise architect". And if so, are the current methods good enough to support this role, or isn't there anything fundamentally different, apart from some minor changes in focus. And what are the pitfalls with this potential increase of sourcing granularity ? Looking at the job description of a financial stock broker, it seems that there isn't that much difference, or is there ? This presentation illustrates the impact of Big Data, Cloud, Internet of Things on the role of an enterprise architect.

Key takeaways:

-- New technologies like cloud, big data and internet of things will not change the life of an enterprise architect
-- Focus will change towards service modeling, but the methods - that are supposed to be technology agnostic - will still work

Marnix Gillis is a senior technical advisor, leading and shaping the technical strategy and direction for IBM's most complex accounts. He has a reputation for strong technical leadership, demonstrated by his success in leading large and complex infrastructure projects. He has gained the depth and breadth of this technical skills through more than 25 years of experience from a varied range of challenging services projects and from working with advanced technologies inside and outside IBM

The Agile Architecture Revolution

Jason Bloomberg, President, ZapThink, US

Cloud Computing, Big Data, Social Media, Enterprise Mobility...the techies are as excited as kids in a candy store, but the business executive's head is spinning. The old days where you wrote up a requirements document, tossed it over the wall to IT, and they built what you wanted are long gone. Business needs are far too dynamic and the technology too complex and diverse.

In fact, the entire notion of what it means to implement a technology solution to a business problem is undergoing a radical shift. That tired old requirements document just doesn't cut it anymore -- because the business doesn't just want functionality, they want business agility.

Business agility is the promise of Cloud and the rest of the candy store full of tech goodies, after all. Technology that can help the organization deal better with change, and leverage change for competitive, strategic advantage. If only we knew how to put it all together properly.

Enter Agile Architecture. How can we design systems that provide such agility? Take the best part of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), combine with what works from the Agile Manifesto, and mix with Complex Systems Engineering to create a revolutionary approach to meeting changing business needs in the context of today's ever-changing set of technology capabilities.

Attendees of this session will learn:

* How to think of business agility as a requirement that drives a new approach to architecture
* What we can learn from both the successes and failures of SOA
* How Cloud Computing, Big Data, Social Media, and Enterprise Mobility fit together to support long-term agility at large organizations

One attendee will receive a free copy of the book The Agile Architecture Revolution by Jason Bloomberg.

Jason Bloomberg is President of ZapThink, a Dovel Technologies Company. He is a global thought leader in the areas of Cloud Computing, Enterprise Architecture, and Service-Oriented Architecture. He created the Licensed ZapThink Architect (LZA) SOA course and associated credential, and runs the LZA course as well as his Cloud Computing for Architects course around the world.

Securing Personas

Professsor Clark Thomborson, University of Auckland, New Zealand

We all have many personas: we share different information with different people and organisations, depending on whether we are acting as a friend, an employee, a parent, a citizen, or a consumer. Most people shift fluidly and rapidly -- often unconsciously -- between their personas.

Persona management is an everyday routine. Every hiring officer must determine, quickly and accurately, whether an interviewee is exhibiting an appropriate persona for a responsible role in an organisation. Security officers create lists of suspects, by considering the people who show signs of having a malfeasant persona.

Ideally, our computer systems would help us with our routine tasks in persona management, and this is a key requirement in The Jericho Forum's Identity Commandments of May 2011. In July 2012, persona management entered Gartner's Hype Cycle at the Technology Trigger phase.

In this presentation, I will explain how we introduce security risks into our organisations, whenever we use our personal computing devices to act as an employee, and whenever any of our private personas is allowed to use an organisationally-managed device without a major context-shift (into a private login account). We risk our own privacy, whenever we expose our personal information to an inappropriate context. These risks could be mitigated if our computing platforms were better at deducing an appropriate context, and if we (as computer users) were more conscious and careful about our persona-shifts on computing systems.

Key takeaways:

-- What is persona management, and why is it important?

-- How can I manage my own personas more safely?

-- What are the near-term prospects for persona management on a computer?

Clark Thomborson is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Since 2005, he has been an active participant in The Jericho Forum's internal discussions on identity, entitlement and access management. His research interests also include the modelling of privacy requirements, software obfuscation, and software watermarking.

The Value Proposition of the Certified Professional ICT Practitioner

 Brenda Aynsley, Chairman, IFIP  International Professional Partnership Program (IP3), Australian Computer Society, Australia

Being professional means being an expert. It means being competent and skilful, trustworthy and ethical. It means putting your client first and acting in the best interests of the public or society. It means taking responsibility for your actions whether you are an employee or an employer. It means that you will make a life long commitment to your profession through membership of your professional body and commit to maintaining the currency of your skills and in providing service to the Society in which you live.

Key takeaways:

Payoffs to being a professional:
-- the individual - recognition and reward
-- the employer - reduced risk, reduced costs, higher value of company to client
-- the client - trust and confidence in value and application of the company
-- the society - assured of professionalism in ICT

She is active in ICT Governance, was most recently the ACS Vice President Membership Boards (2010-11), and is currently the Chair of IFIP IP3 project concerned to build a global partnership that will define international standards of professionalism in ICT including standards for knowledge, experience, competence and integrity. Brenda is both a Fellow of the Australian Computer Society and an Honorary Life Member.
 

Architecting for the Cloud with TOGAF®

Sunil KempeGowda, SOA Architect, CC&C Solutions, Australia

Enterprises are now seriously considering cloud as a viable architectural style . However, without a disciplined process and techniques for evolution, governance, change management and measurement, it will be disastrous to adopt cloud in a random fashion . TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) can provide the approach for adopting cloud in an orderly way. 

Key takeaways:
-- Importance of EA for successful implementation of Cloud Computing
-- Identifying the road map for adoption of cloud computing

Sunil Kempe Gowda is SOA Architect in CC&C Solutions, specialized in Cloud Computing, Enterprise Architecture, Business Process Design and Service Oriented Architecture. He has worked in large scale business critical systems in domains such as Accounting, e-Commerce, Education, Banking and Video on Demand.

Security at the Speed of Light

Stephen Whitlock, Information Security Chief Strategist, The Boeing Company, US

Protecting data and IT systems often relies on several disconnected processes:

1. First, we create a standard configuration
2. Second, we monitor to detect changes. These changes can be the results of admin error, attackers, malware, etc.
3. Third, we send out a message or alert when a change is discovered.
4. Finally we repair the damage - this may result in a new standard configuration.

Today although there are many tools available to perform these tasks, this is a largely manual process and will not keep up as threat evolve. There needs to be formal recognition of this cycle, an architecture governing it, and international open standards for the component to work together.

Key takeaways:

-- Cyber attacks are outpacing defense mechanisms.
-- Automating the security response cycle is necessary to keep up.
