This
is a very interesting evolution in our direction.
When I
get time next week I will toss more things on the wiki helping to flush out the
Coalogic example in this way.

Microsoft Motion Modeling Methodology (M*4?)
There are some very interesting approaches that
Microsoft is taking across the stack here. They are really pushing their
System Definition Model as a part of their DSI strategy to model (hardware,
applications, IT web services, etc) from the infrastructure
domain.
Granted, you have to use all Microsoft tools (eg.
Visual Studio 2005, Virtual Server 2005, etc) but they do provide a DSL
builder to allow others to create tools that generate models that can be
leveraged in other modeling environments.
I'd like to see if we may want to take a vendor
agnostic modeling approach with the SOA Blueprint:
* Start with the business problem and
define it
* lets model a business problem utilizing
a set of business tools - use CapGemini's contribution and put this metadata
in a model.
* Then can we find the right DSLs (they
don't have to be Microsoft) that produce artifacts for every "layer" of the
architecture that we can tie together in a reference solution model to solve
that particular business problem.
* We can utilize a semantic integration
approach to tie together multiple models
* Package this as a best practice approach
to the industry
just an idea on an
approach...
Thoughts?

Hasn't Rational XDE been covering that
one?
[Marchant, Dan
R.] Yes but it doesn't have microsoft's plan for world domination in
mind. Starbucks and Microsoft should probably merge at some
point.

This is old news. Visio has been doing
UML models since they bought it.
The concept of linking that to a .NET
IDE is cool IMO.

I believe that you may be very close based on
what I have seen.

I believe this is the major tool initiative
they are working on for the
end of the year or q1 next year
release.
Think of RUP with a microsoft toolset and microsoft framework
applied to
it.
That is basically what they are looking at doing I
believe.
But I can neither confirm or deny this
:)

Anyone have any insights on this?

Microsoft
Motion Business Modeling Methodology
At the Tech Ed 2005 Europe
Architecture pre-con Beat Schegler and
Arvindra Sehmi talked about a
methodology framework that MCS have been
working on called Motion which
is supposed to be:
"The Motion Methodology uses the concept of
Business Capabilities to
model a business. A Capability describes the
what, not the how. A
Capabilities Model abstracts structural information
(capabilities and
connections) separately from dynamic information
(processes)"
Motion decomposes the whole business into capabilities
on many levels of
granularity ( level 1-3), where level 1 represents
core business
capabilities (eg. Warehousing), level 2 represents
capability groups
(eg. Manage Products/Orders) and level 3 represent the
business
capabilities (order products, track etc. ). Each business
capability
then has 80 attributes which describe it, such as who owns
it, input and
outputs, best practices and exceptions.
On top of
this we then layer our business processes. which manage and
orchestrate
messages going between these business capabilities.
The Framework is
supposed to come with a complete set of deliverables
templates and tasks
and a unique "go in, go up, go out" approach to
modeling these business
capabilities and processes, FAQs, case studies
and the while
shebang.
When goggling around for this, I've not been able to come up
with
anything so far. Are there any news on this, when this will be
released
and to whom ? Will it be publicly available like MSF or only to
partners
?
I can see the tooling for this going hand in hand with
DSL tools in the
future.
