What
Steve doesn't have napkins where he is?
I am
interested in Steve presenting NNL (Napkin Notation Language) as
well.

[soa-blueprints] Microsoft Motion Modeling Methodology
(M*4?)
Hi Mike and company,
I'm looking forward to discussing and resolving the
"layers" approach which is implicit in the MW2 consulting blueprints (distinct
from the OASIS blueprint effort, just sharing the name) and how this can
inform the path towards stratifying the appropriate architectural models,
patterns and practices.
I'm also looking forward to seeing Steve demonstrate his
notation and methodology on Coalogic, although I understand he is travelling
and may be unable to draw for us at the moment.
Best,
Miko

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?
Mike

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.
