The TOGAF® Architecture Development Method recommends that "an architecture description be encoded in a standard language". As the Open Group standard for enterprise modeling, Archimate is a strong candidate for this role. This presentation will explore how a diversified financial services company selected and is using Archimate for its TOGAF® implementation. The speaker will compare available enterprise modeling languages and explain why Archimate was selected, and will explain how his organization developed an enabling metamodel and diagram templates using a leading enterprise modeling tool. Methodology transition will also be covered, including how existing diagram types were mapped to TOGAF®, and how TOGAF® diagram content was mapped to Archimate.

A Brief Introduction to Enterprise Architecture Daljit Banger
Presentation to Metropolitan University (London) on the 16th Feb 2017.
The purpose of the session was to introduce core basic concepts around Enterprise Architecture and discuss the role of the Enterprise Architect .
How to Articulate the Value of Enterprise Architecturecccamericas
Ever struggled with the question, What is the Value of Enterprise Architecture? In this facilitated conversation, Michael Fulton will share his perspective on Enterprise Architecture and the value it provides to the CIO, to IT, and to the business.
Come ready to engage, because in the conversation we will discuss:
•The EA 7-year itch
•Several External Perspectives on EA Value
•The CC&C perspective on a simplified approach to EA Value
•Ensuring your perspective on EA Value is relevant for your stakeholders
At the end of this conversation, you should walk away with:
•A new perspective on the value of EA
•Tips and tricks on how to articulate and quantify EA Value for your key stakeholders.
The latest version of the TOGAF standard has special emphasis on Business Architecture, Digital Trends, and Business Transformation beyond IT. Stuart Macgregor takes us through some of these changes to the TOGAF® 9.2 standard and discuss how they will benefit us.
Structured Approach to Solution ArchitectureAlan McSweeney
The role of solution architecture is to identify answer to a business problem and set of solution options and their components. There will be many potential solutions to a problem with varying degrees of suitability to the underlying business need. Solution options are derived from a combination of Solution Architecture Dimensions/Views which describe characteristics, features, qualities, requirements and Solution Design Factors, Limitations And Boundaries which delineate limitations. Use of structured approach can assist with solution design to create consistency. The TOGAF approach to enterprise architecture can be adapted to perform some of the analysis and design for elements of Solution Architecture Dimensions/Views.
Integrated Project and Solution Delivery And Business Engagement ModelAlan McSweeney
Projects are a continuum from initial concept to planning, design, implementation and management and operation of the implemented solution (and ultimate decommissioning) and across IT and business functions.
Therefore it is important to have an integrated project delivery approach that crosses these core dimensions.
This describes an integrated approach to solution delivery encompassing Stages - project stages/timeline, Activities - IT and business functions/ roles/ activities, Gates - project review and decision gates and Artefacts - project results and deliverables. This combines project management into all other aspects and activities of project and solution delivery:
• Business
• Business Analysis
• Solution Architecture
• Implementation and Delivery
• Test and Quality
• Organisation Readiness
• Service Management
• Infrastructure
It emphasises early business engagement and solution definition and validation to detail a solution that meet a clear and articulated business need that will deliver a realisable and achievable set of business benefits. It ensures that the complexity of what has to be delivered is understood so there is a strong and solid foundation for solution implementation, delivery and management and operation.
An overview of The Open Group IT4IT Reference Architecture. It is a vendor and product-agnostic value chain-based operating model for managing the business of IT. While providing guidance on the design, procurement and implementation of the functionality needed to run IT, it also enables the systematic tracking of the state of IT services across the service life-cycle using four value streams - Strategy to Portfolio, Request to Fulfill, Requirement to Deploy, and Detect to Correct.

DevOps, Microservices and containers - a high level overviewBarton George
This is deck is meant as a high-level overview of the concepts of DevOps, Microservices and containers and how they serve as key enablers for Digital Transformation.
ArchSummit Shenzhen - Using sagas to maintain data consistency in a microserv...Chris Richardson
This is a talk I gave at QCON ArchSummit in Shenzhen.
The microservice architecture structures an application as a set of loosely coupled, collaborating services. Maintaining data consistency is challenging since each service has its own database to ensure loose coupling. To make matters worse, for a variety of reasons distributed transactions using JTA are not an option for modern applications.
In this talk we describe an alternative transaction model known as a saga. You will learn about the benefits and drawbacks of using sagas. We describe how sagas are eventually consistent rather than ACID and what this means for developers. You will learn how to design and implement sagas in a Java application.
Document gives overview of Microservices and how Websphere commerce can be leveraged as microservices. It gives pros and cons of various approaches and challanges.
Continuous Delivery and Micro Services - A SymbiosisEberhard Wolff
Continuous Delivery profits from Micro Services - and the other way round. This presentation shows how the two technologies work together - and how Micro Services can be used to simplify the transition to Continuous Delivery.
This deck is about Microservices Architecture and why do we need it, architecture patterns which need to be followed during Microservices development, and about few tricky questions like API Versioning and
Decomposition Recipes

Yes systems engineering, you are a disciplineJoseph KAsser
Systems engineering is currently characterized by conflicting and contradictory opinions on its nature. The paper begins by describing the evolution of systems engineering in the National Council on Systems Engineering (NCOSE)/ International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) and the difficulty in defining and differentiating systems engineering as a discipline. The paper then identifies and discusses six different and somewhat contradictory camps or perspectives of systems engineering. After identifying the cause of the contradictions the paper suggests one way to reconcile the camps is to dissolve the problem to distinguish between the activity known as systems engineering and the role of the systems engineer with a return to the old pre-NCOSE systems engineering paradigm. The paper then continues by testing the hypothesis and shows that systems engineering is a discipline that can be differentiated from other disciplines. However, it is not a traditional engineering discipline.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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!

Value of Enterprise Architecture
● Provides a clear view of how the business and technology resources will support and
achieve an organization’s business goals and initiatives.
● Understand the strategy, the business, the systems and the infrastructure and how
they interrelate.
● Moving "need to know" information to those that "know they need" upstream and
down stream and in both directions.
● Helps us prioritize and decide which things to do and in what order.
“Doing the Right Things”
● Governs the change and building of things.
“Doing the Things Right”

Definition of TOGAF
● The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is a framework and detailed
method for building, maintaining, and gaining value from an enterprise architecture
for an organization.
● TOGAF 9 is the latest evolution of the framework, and its accompanying Architecture
Development Method (ADM)
● The TOGAF specification is an open standard that has been created and is
maintained by The Open Group (www.opengroup.org).
13. The Paradise Architect's Lounge – Bali, Indonesia
Types of Architectures in TOGAF
● Business Architecture -- addresses the needs of users, planners, and business
management,
● Data/Information Architecture -- addresses the needs of database designers,
database administrators, and system engineers,
● Application (Systems) Architecture -- addresses the needs of system and software
engineers, and
● Information Technology (IT) Architecture -- addresses the needs of acquirers,
operators, administrators, and managers.
15. The Paradise Architect's Lounge – Bali, Indonesia
● Deliverable is a work product that is contractually specified and in turn formally
reviewed, agreed, and signed off by the stakeholders. Deliverables represent the
output of projects and those deliverables that are in documentation form will typically
be archived at completion of a project, or transitioned into an Architecture Repository
as a reference model, standard, or snapshot of the Architecture Landscape at a point
in time.
● Artifact is a more granular architectural work product that describes an architecture
from a specific viewpoint. Examples include a network diagram, a server
specification, a use-case specification, a list of architectural requirements, and a
business interaction matrix. Artifacts are generally classified as catalogs (lists of
things), matrices (showing relationships between things), and diagrams (pictures of
things). An architectural deliverable may contain many artifacts and artifacts will form
the content of the Architecture Repository.
● Building block represents a (potentially re-usable) component of business, IT, or
architectural capability that can be combined with other building blocks to deliver
architectures and solutions.
17. The Paradise Architect's Lounge – Bali, Indonesia
Architecture Repository
● The Architecture Metamodel describes the organizationally tailored application of
an architecture framework, including a metamodel for architecture content.
● The Architecture Capability defines the parameters, structures, and processes that
support governance of the Architecture Repository.
● The Architecture Landscape shows an architectural view of the building blocks that
are in use within the organization today (e.g., a list of the live applications). The
landscape is likely to exist at multiple levels of abstraction to suit different
architecture objectives.
● The Standards Information Base (SIB) captures the standards with which new
architectures must comply, which may include industry standards, selected products
and services from suppliers, or shared services already deployed within the
organization.
● The Reference Library provides guidelines, templates, patterns, and other forms of
reference material that can be leveraged in order to accelerate the creation of new
architectures for the enterprise.
● The Governance Log provides a record of governance activity across the enterprise

The Framework of TOGAF 9
● The TOGAF framework
provides the core phases of the
Architecture Development
Method (ADM), presented as
circles surrounding
requirements.
● Bidirectional lines are drawn
from each of the outer ADM
circles to the center
Requirements circle. This
represents how requirements
drive the creation of the
architecture, and how the
architecture is created to satisfy
requirements.

Architectural Vision
● In Phase A of the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) you establish the
scope of the architecture effort, get buy in from senior management and line
management, and develop the vision of the architecture effort.
● The phase starts with a Request for Architecture Work, delivered from the sponsoring
organization to the architecture organization, and results in a Statement of
Architecture Work.

Technology Architecture
● The Technology Architecture phase seeks to map application components defined in
the Application Architecture phase into a set of technology components, which
represent software and hardware components, available from the market or
configured within the organization into technology platforms.
● As Technology Architecture defines the physical realization of an architectural
solution, it has strong links to implementation and migration planning.
● Technology Architecture will define baseline (i.e., current) and target views of the
technology portfolio, detailing the roadmap towards the Target Architecture, and to
identify key work packages in the roadmap. Technology Architecture completes the
set of architectural information and therefore supports cost assessment for particular
migration scenarios

Editor's Notes
Multiple entry points for realizing value All recognize the need to manage both upstream planning and downstream delivery Some organizations will move through a progressive set of phases as they progress … I want to avoid any confusion that, in order to make EA work, you need to do it all. In fact, far from it: it could be an excellent recipe for disaster, to include all the ingredients right at the start. There are many aspects to EA’s value propositions – these are just four of the most common. Some emphasize how EA can help take cost out of an enterprise’s business and IT infrastructure, others focus on the creation of value. While there is some degree of increasing sophistication left to right, these things do not need to be done in sequence, or in depth before embarking on another. The vital point here is that the purpose behind an enterprise’s architecture needs to be clear: its value propositions are worthless, if the enterprise does not understand how they can indeed bring value. Cost Reduction phase Often a small team driven by IT involving collection of data from many people Where is the collected data assembled and analyzed? Implications: Few people involved for a short time is unattractive, ongoing use of data by many people is very attractive, so encourage promotion to Dynamic EA. Thus let people know the vision—many will see the value—yet embrace the first steps Standardization phase Drive cost reductions throughout organization Similar in structure to cost reduction Implications: Beginning to take a longer-term view of cost reduction Broaden Scope phase Embraces business side Broader scope often requires a leader or sponsor spanning business and IT Formalizes the organizational structure for EA Easier if both business and IT are split along business unit lines. Implications: EA tool must handle broader scope Channel sells higher in business Actionable EA phase Formal organizational structure for EA with clearly-defined roles Implications: Solution tooling that connects to and leverages the EA will be highly-prized, especially if it supports governance. Applies to all phases, hottest here.
The Enterprise Direction diagram enables graphical modeling of the motivation and goals of your organization, the strategies and tactics devised to obtain those goals, and the business rules and policies that effect the strategies and tactics. Here we are showing only Vision, Goals, Objective and Strategy.
The Strategy Map diagram enables describes visually the organization's key Business Objectives and how they align with the four Balanced Scorecard perspectives to support corporate strategies. Point out that this use the same Objectives from the Enterprise Direction diagram Map out key Business Objectives against the four Balanced Scorecard perspectives your organization's financial perspective, what you would like your customers' perspective of your organization to be, your organization's internal process-oriented perspective, and your organization's human-capital perspective.
Explain that there are many forms of Requirements and these are explicitly handled as definition types, a generic form of definition is “Requirement” and that this is used to capture key needs of functionality that the enterprise must do. An explicitly defined relationships is one that exists as in the meta-model, e.g. Requirements as a listof in an Architectural Building Block definition. Or loose relationships via the addresses relationship.
