Innovate 2012 conference guide

June 3–7 | Orlando, Florida

Program Guideibm.com/innovate

On behalf of the IBM Rational team, I want to personally thank you for joining us for our most important client event of the

year. Innovate provides you with an excellent opportunity to network and share ideas with thousands of your peers, meet

industry experts, and learn more about the IBM solutions that are helping us all build a Smarter Planet.

Innovate 2012 is where you can discover what’s NEXT in software technology, development methodologies, and industry

trends from IBM as well as client thought leaders and practitioners. You’ll also learn how IBM and our partners are going

to help you get there NOW. IBM will share the stage with clients, business partners, and your peers, all of whom will show

how software and systems innovation creates new business opportunities. You’ll see how improved development and

delivery methods help you achieve desired business outcomes, execute with reduced risk and cost, and accelerate the

pace of software and systems delivery. With the proliferation of mobile devices, the consumerization of IT, and the growth

of cloud computing, NOW is the time for enterprises to integrate every aspect of the software and systems life cycle.

Value creation in almost every industry is shifting towards software, and your role in software innovation has never been

more critical. As software and systems professionals, you are building a future that is increasingly reliant on software as the

heart of interconnected and intelligent products and services. I sincerely believe that, at Innovate 2012, you will learn new

and better ways to integrate your processes and deliver the software innovations of tomorrow with the help of our solutions.

More than ever, Innovate 2012 is built around your needs and interests. It is more focused, streamlined, and interactive

than ever before. We have added new elements to the conference such as ScrumMaster® Training, The Innovate Race Car

Challenge and the WebSphere Developer Jam; and, by popular demand, we’ve brought back more interactive sessions,

like Birds-of-a-Feather. We have assembled a strong educational curriculum with a set of new tracks including Agile

Transformation, Cloud Development & Deployment, Mobile Application Development, Direct from the Jazz Developers,

Rational Genius and Packaged Applications. And we could not have done it without you. In fact more than 150 of our

sessions are delivered by you and your peers. Innovate 2012 is itself a true example of how integration, collaboration, and

optimization help drive innovation.

It is a pleasure to have you here and I’m con dent you’ll nd Innovate 2012 a valuable experience. I look forward to seeing

you at the opening keynote session, Monday, June 4th at 8:00am, ET.

Sincerely,

Dr. Kristof Kloeckner

Introducing IBM Champions! For a second year, Rational software selected awardees

for the IBM Champion program. These champions are

non-IBMers who influence and mentor others to help drive

the best use of IBM software, solutions, and services.

IBM Champions are IT professionals, business leaders,

developers, or educators who go above and beyond to:

1) share their knowledge and expertise, 2) evangelize IBM

solutions and 3) grow the community of people focused on

IBM solutions.

Become an IBM Champion

IBM Champion online nominations for Rational open

in January. An IBM panel evaluates each nominee’s

contributions over the past 12 months, considering

factors such as community impact, expertise, and the

quality, quantity, and scope of their contributions. Existing

Champions are eligible to renew their status if they have

made significant contributions to the community over the

previous 12 months. We will announce the next set of

champions in March 2013.

Why be an IBM Champion?

In addition to being rewarded with IBM Champion

merchandise, champions are highlighted and recognized

online and at live events. They receive invitations and

discounts to IBM conferences and are granted access to

key IBM business executives and technical leaders to

share their opinions, learn about strategic plans, and ask

Going Green!IBM Rational is teaming together with the Walt Disney World

initiatives during Innovate 2012. During your stay and

throughout the conference, you will notice we have taken

many steps to reduce paper and utilize recycled materials as

well as conserve water, reduce waste and encourage energy

efficiency. Some of the changes we’ve made to promote

these “Green” efforts include:

Paper Reduction—Online Schedule Building: In

an effort to reduce paper, we encourage all conference

attendees to utilize the online session schedule builder

available at the conference kiosks to preview sessions

to determine which sessions are of interest. Printers

are available for printing personalized schedules (and

recycled paper is utilized), but we encourage attendees

make notes in their copy of the conference guide or

personal notebooks to reduce paper waste.

Post-Conference url for Technical Session

Presentations: An additional effort to reduce the amount

of paper utilized at the conference is creating a post-

conference url versus printing handouts of conference

presentations.

As an agile coach supporting organizations with varying

levels of maturity with agile practice adoption, it is often

necessary to adjust the implementation methodology to

fit a client’s business environment. While studies on the

adoption rate of agile development vary, by-and-large these

studies are trending upward in most IT sectors. As larger

organizations with well-established waterfall solution delivery

lifecycle move toward agile software development, it is

imperative that the approach is broadened and does not

simply rely on any single set of practices, such as scrum, to

meet the organizational and cultural challenges, which these

organizations often possess. In this session, presenters share

experiences with regards to some of essential principles,

practices, and skills that scrum masters, project managers,

and other software professionals need to help teams

transform so they can deliver the highest business value

possible faster with higher quality and customer satisfaction.

Agile Transformation

Many companies are adopting Agile practices (or thinking about it). Whether you’re part of a small

or pilot team taking your first steps towards Agile adoption or if you’re part of a larger team that is

looking to scale their Agile success, the road to Agile transformation can be a rocky one. Questions

inevitably emerge such as: Which Agile methodology should we embrace? How will Agile practices

affect our existing team culture? What criteria should we use to measure our Agile projects? What

tooling do we need to effectively implement an Agile process? How do traditional Agile practices

need to be modified to address the complexities of our environment? This track will cover the

spectrum of the Agile journey, including tips for successful Agile adoption, “tales from the trenches”

of teams who have learned from their early failures and have found their way to greater agility, and

practical guidance on how to effectively scale Agile in complex environments.

Seven Habits of Highly Effective Agile Teams

Richard Knaster, IBM, WW Practice Manager, Agile & RTC

Agile teams are highly effective when individuals can make a

paradigm shift in their thinking and can adopt the agile values

and principles. The next stage to becoming a highly effective

team is to make habits of the right set of agile practices to

employ just enough rules to support autonomy while avoiding

chaos, establishing a rhythm to maintain momentum and

synchronize efforts, act supportively and transparently to

cultivate trust and respect, and exchange ideas to realize the

benefits of diverse skills. Since there are no set standards

for agile, what exactly are those practices that are essential

for teams to thrive? Come learn these habits and share with

other like minded agile enthusiasts.

Agility to Grow: From Small Teams to

Enterprise-Wide Adoption

Scott Ambler, IBM Rational, Chief Methodologist for IT;

Scott Rich, IBM, Distinguished Engineer, Technical Lead for

Rational CLM

Many organizations are struggling to adopt agile beyond

a few teams. For these enterprises, implementing agile

across the enterprise and reaping the benefits is still

very challenging. Geographical distribution, large teams,

compliance, and entrenched waterfall organizational

culture quickly diminish the benefits of adopting agile

and the organization quickly reverts back to its old ways.

Agility across the enterprise doesn’t happen overnight.

The Agility2Grow strategy helps organizations take bite

size chunks of organization change within the context of a

proven framework, taking into account the unique needs of

organizations and teams, This session shares the lessons

learned from IBM’s Agile journey and from key customers to

help agile adoption succeed and stick.

Agility@Scale: IBM’s Journey of Agile Transformation

Mike O’Rourke, IBM, Vice President,

Strategy and Product Delivery

Many large organizations want to adopt agile development

methodologies as a means of delivering software to

customers and internal stakeholders more quickly and

efficiently in “bite-sized” increments. However, large projects

can pose significant challenges to agility. IBM Software

Group, with almost 30,000 engineers in 84 locations,

started its agile transformation in 2006. While this journey

continues today, extensive improvements in quality, time-to-

market, and customer satisfaction show that the rewards

of agile adoption far outweigh the obstacles. IBM learned

that a haphazard implementation of agile may result in more

frequent development “turns,” but can also fail to deliver true

business benefits. In effect, the wrong agile implementation

may just mean that bad code is being released to market

faster than before.

Achieving Better Requirements on Agile Projects:

User Stories and Beyond

Kurt Solarte, IBM, Sr. Managing Consultant;

Bhawana V. Gupta, IBM, Rational Brand Architect;

Cherifa Mansoura, IBM, Solution Architect, IBM Rational

Worldwide Solution Delivery

Agile development has emerged recently. Much of the rise

has to do with the failing of other methodologies like the

waterfall model and the bureaucracies in implementing

other prescribed methodologies. The principles of the agile

movement strive to match business needs with development

realities and reduce waste as much as possible: Detailing

requirements is something teams do even in an agile world

but when and how makes the difference from a traditional

requirement definition and management (RDM) process.

One of the challenges of agile projects is ensuring that the

requirements remain “agile.” While requirements are not

necessarily neglected on agile projects, this may erroneously

take a waterfall approach to requirements. This session

outlines reasons why RDM is critical to success in agile

development and discusses eight habits that agile teams

should adopt for highly effective requirements definition

and management.

Driving Agile Practices Maturity Through IBM® Rational

Team Concert™ Agile Coaching Index

Jonathan Walsh, INTEL, Engineering Manager; Raj

Anantharaman, Intel India Tech Private Limited, Engineering

Manager; Tim Gallagher, Intel, Manager; Marcin Neyman,

Intel, SW Manager

While adoption rates of agile practices are increasing, not all

teams that adopt agile may be implementing them correctly

without the guidance of a coach (“scrum-but”) and hence

fail to accrue all benefits of agile. This has been true at Intel.

While recruiting agile coaches to overcome this challenge

is one option, it is not scalable. Instead, Intel leveraged

IBM® Rational Team Concert™, which was fast growing in

adoption, and implemented the agile coaching index (ACI).

Intel identified 37 points of goodness (PoGs) and developed

an automated mechanism to measure the hygiene of agile

practices and scored the teams against the PoGs. Teams

get weekly feedbacks of PoGs, and then use this feedback

to drive continuous improvement. Teams can also set their

own goals against the PoGs and see how they compare

to others. While ACI is not a replacement for a coach, it is

proving to be very effective in improving the basic hygiene

of Intel’s agile practices.

The Death of Innovation in a Typical Agile Environment

Elizabeth Woodward, IBM, Senior Software Consultant

Teams using scrum, currently the most widely-used agile

development framework, focus on turning a section of

a project backlog into a releasable increment of work

within fixed time boxes of less than a month. Their work is

done at a sustainable pace so that the team can continue

the delivery process indefinitely. Unfortunately, it is quite

common for teams to become so engaged in delivering

value for the current iteration that they, at best, deliver

incremental innovations that apply only to their immediate

work efforts. Little time and focus are left for the team to

develop transformational insight and breakthroughs that

are known to provide the greater return on innovation

investment. This session focuses on the urgency of

innovation, aspects of agile known to suppress innovation,

approaches to innovation, and tips for driving innovation in

this challenge and has the characteristics to improve the

quality of projects (better), deliver “must have” functionality

Putting the “Integration” into Continuous Integration

with Green Hat

Monica Luke, IBM, CLM Strategic Offerings Lead

An organization may have adopted agile, committed to

“continuous build,” and run unit tests. But what happens

when an organization brings the system together for real

system testing? What is the level of quality and does it take a

team days, weeks, maybe months to get a working system?

Does it turn out that unit tests are superficial or insufficient?

Real continuous integration requires early and ongoing

complex integration testing. Oftentimes organizations skip

that testing on their daily or nightly builds because it is too

hard, time consuming, or hardware and third-party resources

are not available. By virtualizing stable components of a

complex system, organizations can reduce complexity

sufficiently to do integration testing on every team

integration build.

Integrated System and Software Engineering

Tool Suite: An Evaluation of a Cloud and IBM®

Rational® Tools

In this day of declining defense budgets and increased

competition, an efficient platform for developing proposals

and small projects is critical. Lockheed Martin MS2 and IBM

co-defined the requirements for the platform. It needs to be

easy to use, maintain, and deploy to accomplish the systems

and software development lifecycle. One of the challenged

requirements is that various team members at different

locations on different networks must be able to evaluate

the platform. A suggested prototype is to establish the

platform as a cloud image. The cloud image allows different

evaluators to access the tools on the platform and to try the

workflows. Moreover, it allows the team to experiment with

different combinations of tools and workflows to determine

the affordable and appropriate tool mix.

Partners, LLC, General Manager

Organizations recognize all the reasons they should move to

the cloud for their application development and deployments,

but are uncertain whether today’s standardized one-size-

fits-all cloud offerings can ensure the integrity and success

of their businesses. The emergence of cloud platforms,

which encompass a wide range of integrated application

development and deployment services, provides a reliable

foundation for organizations to achieve the improved

economics and speed expected from using cloud, while still

maintaining the ability to deliver competitive differentiation

at the application layer. Success begins with selecting the

proper cloud platform—one based on technologies that

ensure portability and interoperability across both public and

private delivery models, one that enables adoption based

on unique needs, and one that evolves to drive long-term

business momentum.

Transforming and Accelerating Client Evaluations of

IBM® Rational® Products Using Cloud

Ian Barnard, IBM, Rational WW Cloud Enablement Lead and

Manager, Rational Demonstration Cloud

When buying IBM® Rational® software products to enhance

their development and business processes, IBM Rational’s

clients often need to perform some level of evaluation,

whether by a hands-on workshop or a full onsite installation

for a mini-project. Both these take valuable time to setup—

up to 2-3 months or even longer in some cases. For a year

now IBM Rational has been using a service called IBM®

Rational® Demonstration Cloud, which is an account on

the IBM® SmartCloud™ Enterprise, that enables clients to

evaluate products over the Internet. This bypasses the delays

previously associated with the client evaluation; for example,

no customer hardware is required. This presentation

describes how the IBM Rational Demonstration Cloud is

used with clients and describes some of the improvements

achieved, including new ways of helping customers evaluate

IBM Rational capabilities that were not previously possible.

The Five Imperatives—An Application Lifecycle

Management Energy Drink Boosts the Whole Team

Monica Luke, IBM, CLM Strategic Offerings Lead

Today software is everywhere. It’s powerful, complex,

and fundamental to business. There can be serious

consequences to failure. Some failures can result in

significant human harm. Others, like security breaches,

violations of regulations, or product recalls, can have

catastrophic business implications. Companies need

strategies for delivering software that not only “do no harm”

but add real value. IBM developed the “five imperatives for

application lifecycle management” to demonstrate how to

overcome the high cost of organizational silos using in-

context collaboration, real-time planning, lifecycle traceability,

development intelligence, and continuous improvement.

Integrations Gearbox, Senior Development Manager

The IBM® Rational® Jazz® initiative focuses on improving

collaboration across the software and systems lifecycle

Lifecycle Solutions

IBM Rational ALM services and solutions can help organizations reduce the high costs and risks

of inefficient, multiplatform software development and are unique in the market as they allow them

to unify their infrastructure with a single open, extensible, integrated Jazz platform. Having a single

platform across the software delivery lifecycle allows forward-thinking organizations to extend

their software infrastructure investments. This enables all stakeholders real-time collaboration and

transparency in the context of the work at hand, automation and better process control from the

initial requirements definition to software change and release management and beyond. This track

features the latest agile and formal solutions, services and best practices for enabling a real-time

flow of information spanning teams, tools, and geographies. All stakeholders, from developer

to high-level CIO to software engineer, will find the necessary insight to drive fundamental

improvement in delivering software and business results.

Infusing Testing into Development Throughout the

Application Lifecycle

Tim R. Feeney, IBM, CLM Solution Architect; Dennis W.

Schultz, IBM, Solution Architect

In order to truly impact product quality and do so in a way

that reduces delivery time, testing cannot be an after-the-fact

verification exercise, but rather must be done as an integral

part of the development effort. However, quality assurance

and development have traditionally operated independently.

How can these teams be brought together to collaborate and

share information? This session introduces ways to leverage

the IBM® Rational® collaborative lifecycle management

solution to start testing earlier, improve collaboration between

teams, and reduce fix times resulting in higher quality in a

shorter time. Presenters discuss topics such as associating

tests to development work, test-driven development,

build management, version control of test artifacts, defect

management, task management, and monitoring project and

test team progress.

Ritchard L. Schacher, IBM, Technical Manager, Architect,

Jazz Application Frameworks; Philippe Mulet, IBM, STSM,

Jazz Application Frameworks Lead and Jazz Product

Architect

The IBM® Rational® collaborative lifecycle management

(CLM) solution and open services for lifecycle collaboration

embrace the concepts of linked data, providing an

architecture for better integration between disparate sources

of lifecycle data. It is based on the architecture of the Web,

utilizing the principles of RESTful design, defining artifacts

as Web addressable resources, and using URLs to express

relationships between artifacts in separate repositories,

applications, and systems. This architecture implies the

need for URL stability, to maintain referential integrity

and traceability across the lifecycle data, and has been a

constraint for CLM deployment until now. In CLM 2012,

greater flexibility is provided for changing a deployment and

moving servers permanently when standard Web techniques

such as DNS are not suitable. This session discusses the

options for changing the topology or location of existing

deployments and discuss the facilities to enable it.

Divide and Conquer: Bridging the Gap Between Scope

and Requirements Management Using IBM® Rational®

Collaborative Lifecycle Management

Cherifa Mansoura, IBM, Solution Architect, IBM Rational

Worldwide Solution Delivery; Bhawana V. Gupta, IBM,

Rational Brand Architect

Scope and requirements are two important aspects a team

needs to manage during software development. The two

are often used interchangeably or mistaken as one. Are they

the same? Definitely not. What is the difference? When does

requirements management start? What triggers the scope

activities? What are the factors and outputs to consider for

scope negotiation? Which stakeholders are involved in each

stage? How can teams effectively use the strategy of divide

and conquer to scope a project and manage requirements?

Find answers to these questions in this session and hear

how a collaborative lifecycle management (CLM) solution

using IBM® Rational® Requirements Composer and IBM®

Rational Team Concert™ helps draw the boundaries between

these fundamental aspects of project management. The

audience benefits from an illustrated experience report of

a banking institution that deployed CLM with IBM Rational

Requirements Composer and IBM Rational Team Concert for

Just Enough Quality: Knowing When to Say When

Scott Rich, IBM, Distinguished Engineer, Technical Lead for

Rational CLM

Knowing when done is truly done is one of the hardest things

to say in software development, especially given that teams

almost always know there’s more to do. Having the ability to

effectively ensure broad coverage and linkage of all essential

lifecycle artifacts to help make that determination is critical.

Moreover, providing teams with complete transparency

and measured improvement metrics enables them to more

accurately assess “launch readiness,” which of course helps

teams adapt, and more importantly, optimize their ability to

do it all over again with more predictability and efficiency.

where no previous open services for lifecycle collaboration

(OSLC) specification existed for product type resources.

An extension to the OSLC specification was developed in

collaboration with the OSLC PLM and Core workgroup,

then an implementation was successfully realized using

Eclipse Lyo alongside ALM and PLM applications. The Lyo

framework provides ways to store, parse, and query RDFs

present in the specific server. The Lyo framework was

extended to support new features that can provide seamless

integration of aspects of lifecycle management. This session

generalizes the method and provides a reusable approach to

integrate two lifecycle management aspects.

The “integration problem” is one faced by all businesses and

is often solved in an unsatisfactory manner. For examples,

tight coupling makes changes difficult, multiple copies of

data can increase storage requirements and worse, and

problem determination and resolution in such systems can

be costly. Through open services for lifecycle collaboration

(OSLC), experts have gathered together for public discussion

of common problems and solutions, and have published

open specifications to make software integrations easier and

more robust, and expose more lifecycle data so that it can

be effectively used. Learn from the experiences of OSLC

community members who have participated in specification

development, implemented a specification, and realized

benefits from doing so. Attendees have an opportunity to

Delivery Management: Aligning Software Delivery

with Business Strategy

Marty Levesque, IBM Rational, Market Manager,

Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM)

“Doing the right things” and “doing things right” are the

essential ingredients for successful software and systems

delivery. Unfortunately, with distributed delivery spanning

multiple disciplines, geographies and time zones, many

organizations struggle with teams working in silos, broken

lines of communication, lack of collaboration, inadequate

traceability, and poor project visibility. This often results in

organizations “doing the wrong things” and “doing things

wrong,” with associated higher costs, project delays, and

lower quality. Breaking down these silos can be enabled

by providing a collaborative platform where the whole

organization can prioritize, share, and govern delivery.

The result is better informed decision making at all levels

and greatly improved communications and traceability

between teams, which drives greater delivery efficiency and

effectiveness and an overall increase in the business value

created by delivery teams.

To Migrate Is Human, to Integrate Is Divine: Lessons

Learned Deploying Application Lifecycle Management

Products into Infrastructures and Processes

Roger Dunn, SCM Solution, Inc., Chief Scientist; Samit

Mehta, IBM, Senior Software Engineer; Dan Rasmussen,

SCM Solution, Directory of Product Development

Today’s development organizations rely on a variety of

application lifecycle management (ALM) products. Many of

these products have been in use for significant time spans,

building up an important body of information that chronicles

the trajectory of products, projects, and contributors.

Organizations are likely to have established policies and

procedures for access and usage, and enlistment into

the systems often involves many roles and departments/

divisions. Presenters discuss the key decision points involved

in introducing new ALM technology into an existing, mature

development infrastructure. Industry examples from financial

services, healthcare, and others provide real-world examples,

and a live demonstration, showing how IBM Rational

customers have solved these problems, and the lessons

learned from those experiences. The session outlines the

use of a decision matrix that helps solve the “migrate versus

integrate” question, accelerating adoption of contemporary

ALM tools.

With the explosive growth of mobile devices, enterprises

now have an imperative to extend their existing business

capabilities and to transform their businesses by creating

new opportunities with mobile applications. However, the

fragmented and rapidly changing mobile landscape brings

significant challenges that must be overcome. The IBM

Mobile Platform is aimed at addressing these challenges by

offering an open platform that speeds the delivery of existing

and new mobile applications to multiple devices. This session

explains the components and capabilities of the platform.

Presenters show how it can help enterprises build mobile

applications that connect to backend systems, as well as

how it can be used to manage and secure mobile devices

and applications.

Mobile Application Development

Mobile computing is and will continue to grow at exponential rates. The explosion in mobile

data and applications growth is a phenomenon that touches many industries. Although some

aspects of mobile applications development are the same as that of traditional software, mobile

development has many unique aspects. Development organizations need to deal with the large

diversity of platforms, different models of programming models and the scarcity of skills associated

with mobile development. Furthermore, security and compliance requirements present important

new challenges in developing mobile applications. This track will focus on software engineering

issues that are associated with mobile applications, and how to adapt existing tools and skills to

mobile application development. This track is targeted for mobile application developers, business

analysts, development managers, executives, product managers, QA managers, requirements

managers, team leads, testers, architects, and strategists.

assurance test log, quality assurance marks a task as having

failed a test and email is automatically sent to the responsible

engineer. At any time, managers can refresh either the quality

assurance test log or any other related report, including pie

charts to see the current quality assurance status of the

weekly build or overall project codeline. Or an engineer at a

test event on the other side of the globe can pull up the latest

build reports, see what tasks and objects were included,

and clink on an object and immediately see a “diff” listing

10 Teams, 4 Sites, 1 Project—No Problem Using

IBM® Rational® ClearCase® to Succeed in a Global

Multisite Environment

Robert Duffy, Siemens, Software Engineer; Duzgun Aral,

Siemens, Software Engineer; Mike Pawlowski, Siemens,

Software Engineer

Siemens has taken IBM® Rational® ClearCase® as its

primary software configuration management tool. One

implementation of IBM Rational ClearCase is a development

effort that has 10 teams spanning four countries using

IBM Rational ClearCase. The goal was to move this global

project from a unified change management-based approach

to a more flexible IBM Rational ClearCase implementation.

Siemens had to create flexibility for each site to work on

its own without impacting any other sites’ ability to build/

test code and to avoid mastership issues when setting the

strategy. Siemens attained a solution utilizing a combination

of branching and labeling to keep sites separate and

ignorant of one another during the Agile development

cycles. It devised a simple, yet elegant, solution for dealing

with “common” files that each site needed to modify during

development. Ultimately, Siemens created an environment

where teams in multiple locations can work independently yet

still achieve the end goal.


What’s New and Next with IBM® Rational Team Concert™

Rolf Nelson, IBM, Product Manager

Come learn about the latest enhancements in IBM® Rational

Team Concert™ 4.0, including enterprise deployment,

scalability and reliability, deeper enterprise integrations,

along with a preview of what’s coming next.


Nuts and Bolts: How IBM Uses IBM® Rational®

Collaborative Lifecycle Management with IBM®


Eleonora Ludin, IBM, Senior Software Engineer;

Yuhong Yin, IBM, Sr. Development Manager, Sr. Software

Engineer; Richard Rakich, IBM, Architect – Rational Solution

Developers Platform

This presentation takes a real IBM Rational internal

project as an example to explain some of the deployment

considerations integrating ClearCase/ClearQuest with CLM

(RTC/RQM/RRC) products. These considerations include,

but are not limited to, load balancing/clustering, single

sign on (SSO), server sizing, setting up, migrating, and

renaming. It introduces the basic concept of OSLC (Open

Service for Lifecyle Collaboration) and how to leverage it to

link assets in different repositories and domains together,

using Friendships, in one-way or two-way linking fashion,

and how to leverage the OSLC interface through scripting

to automate Lifecycle processes outside of these tools. This

presentation focuses on technical discussion on integrating

ClearCase/ClearQuest with CLM, how it works, how to

configure it, caveats to look out for, and what it feels like as

an administrator and as an end user.

backwards for very long. We keep moving forward,

opening up new doors and doing new things, because

we’re curious… and curiosity keeps leading us down new

paths.” At Walt Disney, developing a process with a purpose

and keeping that process separate from a tool allows for

continuous process improvement. These principles guide

the evolution of the problem management process while

using the global ITIL foundation strategy for guidance and

Using IBM® Rational® Synergy™ Over a WAN

Todd Alden, Delphi, Sr. Software Strategist

For many, software development has become a cross-

site, globally collaborative environment. With more than

20 sites developing software and a majority of software

projects having teams that span multiple sites, coordinating

changes can be a challenge. In the past IBM® Rational®

Synergy™ DCM (distributed code management) was used

to synchronize changes between separate databases and

servers at each location. IBM Rational Synergy 7.x has

opened up the viability of working over the WAN with all

team members working out of the same database. This

creates a better team dynamic and addresses collaboration

issues such as timely sharing of code and immediate visibility

of parallel development. In addition, entire servers can be

consolidated, saving IT and support costs. This session looks

the successes and roadblocks to using IBM Rational over the

WAN and consolidating servers. Presenters also discuss the

hurdles overcome and hurdles still to be addressed.

Lessons Learned from IBM® Rational Team Concert™

and Lean IT

Markus Sprunck, UniCredit Global Information Services

S.C.p.A., Head of Global Competence Center SW

Engineering & Quality Mgmt.

Unicredit Group is one of the leading banks in Europe,

with a highly distributed IT in eight countries. In 2010,

the company started a lean IT transformation program

to optimize its software development and infrastructure.

Lean IT is a still young approach to bring principles of lean

management and production into IT companies. This change

lasts typically three months for a single team in a holistic

approach. The main purpose of lean IT is to reduce waste

and create more value for the customer. A lot of methods

and techniques of classical agile approaches are used. Lean

IT looks similar to agile, but because of its roots, lean IT

follows an industrialized approach. For example, lean IT is

not about democracy in development teams. The company

customized the IBM® Rational Team Concert™ to support the

collaboration needs of the teams that apply lean IT methods

in their daily work.

Testing Is Dead, Long Live Quality

Ewald Roodenrijs, Sogeti, R&D Engineer

Why do teams test? They want quality delivered in their

software applications. More simply put, testing finds

defects—defects that must be resolved. But as Boehm told

us in 1979, solving defects later in the software development

lifecycle is expensive. So why is testing still done primarily

at the end of the lifecycle when 50-70 percent of defects

are attributed to requirements and design flaws? These

are defects that could have been found much earlier and

prevented before they are embedded in the requirements.

Wondering how one identifies defects early to improve

quality throughout the whole lifecycle? Attend this session

to find out.

Navigating the Road to IBM® Rational® Insight: An

Administrator’s Journey Implementing IBM Rational

Insight at BlueCross BlueShield of Michigan

James Roach, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan,

Technology Specialist

Developing true performance metrics that are quick to

produce can be a challenge. Blue Cross Blue Shield of

Michigan (BCBSM) was already capturing test defects

with IBM® Rational® ClearQuest®, but it lacked the ability

to quickly summarize the rich information being captured

and generate the powerful metrics needed to make

strategic decisions. Working with IBM, BCBSM installed

and integrated IBM® Rational® Insight with IBM Rational

ClearQuest and IBM® Rational® Quality Manager. Metric

reports that took days to produce by painstaking extraction

and manipulation of spreadsheets became Web-based

reports available at the click of a button. This session

explains the old process used to produce these metrics

and how BCBSM reduced this process from more than

two days down to the click of a button. In addition, the

session describes some of the challenges that BCBSM

encountered installing and configuring IBM Rational Insight

with IBM Rational ClearQuest and how these challenges

were overcome.

When Is Testing Done?

Michael T. Lundblad, IBM, Program Director, Rational

Offering Strategy & Delivery Enablement; Murray Cantor,

IBM, Distinguished Engineer, Rational CTO Council

Enhancing the ability to avoid financial disaster from a late

and/or failed-in-production software innovation project

requires going beyond the standard technical metrics

for software and systems release. Millions of dollars are

spent yearly on software testing. IBM’s direct experience

and data gathered by researchers working with hundreds

of companies show that most firms invest 25 percent

or more of their development lifecycle time and cost

in quality assurance. A key point in any development

process, therefore, is the point at which testing ends and

the organization moves ahead with deployment. This is

the time in the life of every development project when the

program manager has to ask the very practical questions

like “Is the software ready for release?” or “How do we know

when we’re done testing?” This presentation (also an IBM

whitepaper) is an innovative framework for measuring the

business risk of release versus the cost of continued testing.

Requirement Based Testing—A Different Approach

Julen Mohanty, Citigroup Technology Services, Manager

A requirements-based testing (RBT) process describes a

strategy to integrate testing throughout the development

lifecycle and focus on the quality of the requirements

specification. The result is early defect detection and

prevention, reducing costs by finding and fixing defects

earlier in the development process. The RBT process

addresses two major issues: validating that the requirements

are correct, complete, unambiguous, and logically

consistent; and designing a necessary and sufficient set of

test cases from the requirements to ensure that the design

and code fully meet those requirements. In designing the

associated tests, two issues need to be overcome: reducing

the immensely large number of potential tests down to a

reasonable size set and ensuring that the tests deliver the

right answer for the right reason. The RBT process does

not assume that the requirements specifications are good

and aids in driving out ambiguity and driving down the level

of detail.

Agile Test Management Practices with IBM® Rational®

Quality Manager

Chip Davis, IBM, Accelerated Value Program Leader

Agile development has numerous benefits to a software

development effort, including improved quality in the software

that is produced. However, in order to gain these benefits,

correct and effective agile practices must be followed.

Likewise, software testing in agile has many benefits, but also

requires a thorough understanding of how to successfully

apply it. Without comprehensive planning and insight, one

might not reap all the rewards of agile software testing.

Test management practices are central to driving quality

improvements in agile development, as well as any other

type of software development effort. The concurrent testing

practice in agile projects is different from more traditional

testing approaches, and may require a change in testing

attitudes and culture. Both test management and concurrent

testing practices together, in an agile effort, will lead to

significant and measurable improvements in the quality of the

resulting product.

Organizations appreciate that requirements engineering (RE)

capabilities are critically important to their businesses but

find that the associated practices are not always as well-

defined, agile or as useful as they need to be. They need to

quickly gauge their levels of competence in RE and identify

where improvements must be made in existing practices?

In 2011, a group of senior cross-industry information

technology practitioners in Ireland decided that the status

quo was unacceptable and formed an innovative community

of practice to begin collaborating on improving their software

development abilities. The group was keen to take advantage

of industry collaboration through peer learning and the

definition and sharing of good practices. The first area of

focus for this Irish initiative was RE, and with assistance

from IBM, this group developed what became known as the

requirements engineering maturity model (REMM).

Performing Systems Engineering Requirements

Analysis with SysML Parametrics

Yvonne Bijan, Lockheed Martin, Software Engineer

Poor requirements engineering is a common cause of failure

in system development. Not only are text requirements

ambiguous, the domain conditions under which they are

to be satisfied are vague. Until operating conditions and

requirements are formally captured, they will continue to be

vague with ill-defined verification criteria. SysML used in a

model-based systems engineering (MBSE) development

process can help mitigate these errors. Requirements can be

formalized in a precise manner by representing the system

under design and its operating environment as a composite

SysML model with parametric diagrams. Formalization of

requirements and constraints with parametric diagrams

enables them to be verified and flowed down during the

development process. An example is used to illustrate how

IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® parametric diagrams can be used

to develop requirements and constraints.

Pushing the Boundaries of Architectural Design of

Complex Safety-Critical Systems at EADS

Andreas Keis, EADS, IW Systems Manager; Nir Mashkif,

IBM, Researcher

The complexity of contemporary systems causes systems

engineers great pains during early architectural design

phases. Architecture optimization is a tedious manual process

requiring a mathematician to work with the systems engineer.

The process is error prone, difficult to manage, and often

yields worthless results. In a joint initiative, an IBM/EADS

team has developed a generic methodology for taking the

architectural design to a different level. Using an en example

from a future Airbus jet, EADS engineering leaders share their

insight on the value of applying an alternative way to formalize

requirements, define design alternatives, automate design

space exploration using code generation, and advanced

optimization techniques supported by IBM® Rational®

Rhapsody® Design Manager for managing the process.

Industry; Matt Jones, Jaguar Land Rover, Vice President

Infotainment systems keep users connected to information

and entertainment while in the car and are a key

differentiator in the automotive industry. The need for more

complex functions and data requirements drives code

size and processing power, and in turn, brings escalating

development and validation cost for the software effort

of these new-generation infotainment devices. The goal

of GENIVI, an open standards-based consortium, is

to standardize the non-differentiating elements of the

Infotainment solution stack. In this session, learn about DNA-

changing industry trends of the lucrative, yet challenging,

Hardware/Software Co-Design Using SysML

and SystemC

Sandeep Desai, Sodius, Engineering Director

System-level design has become quite complex. Time-to-

market pressures; multiple dimensions of design tradeoffs;

and issues in quality, safety, and reliability all factor in, as well

as overall cost. SysML-based methodologies have emerged

as the preferred choice for high-level system description

and collaboration in the system engineering domain. In

addition, the electronic design community is coalescing

around SystemC and TLM 2.0 to raise the abstraction

level. Therefore, it is critical and natural to leverage SysML

model artifacts further down in the flow, including hardware

design, verification, and implementation. SysML-to-SystemC

synthesis technology from Sodius bridges the automation

gap between these tool chains through automated synthesis

of SystemC models from SysML. This presentation provides

an overview of the technology, as well as case studies

describing the success of this approach.

Better Co-Development for Real-Time Saves Real

Time in a Project—Timing and Performance Modeling,

Simulation, and Analysis Along the Lifecycle

Manprit Singh, IBM, Market Manager for Automotive

Industry; Tapio Kramer, INCHRON GmbH, Marketing

Manager; Martin R. Bakal, IBM, WW Offering Manager,

Electronics Industry

With the increasing demands on the functionality of

embedded systems, the challenges in development

grow seemingly exponentially. This is due to the growing

complexity and need to still have reliability. By optimizing

the collaboration among developers, the challenges in

project management and development can be mitigated.

This takes strong collaboration tools. A growing demand

for optimization lies in the dynamic real-time behavior

domain, since rising functionality generates complexity

from interconnections leading to challenging interferences.

Starting with requirements, over to systems design, and

finally throughout configuration and defect management, the

timing and performance aspects have to be well managed

by an integrated development platform for product lifecycle

management. Addressing the dynamic behavior continuously

will result in higher quality and faster time-to-market.

Model-Based Systems Engineering Approach-Based

on SysML in a Multiple-Team/Multiple Site Environment

Dietmar Pfeiffer, Cassidian, Systems Engineer

Based on the IBM® Rational® Harmony® best practices, a

multi-team, multi-site approach is presented allowing the

definition of the system use cases by independent teams

at different sites. The approach has been defined and

exercised in a case study by an integrated team of Cassidian

system engineers and IBM consultants. After appropriate

tailoring, it is currently being introduced into a Cassidian

UAS project utilizing IBM® Rational® DOORS® and IBM®

Rational® Rhapsody® with SysML. The approach starts with

the definition and prioritization of the system use cases. Each

of the use cases is then elaborated as a black box model

and the functionality is allocated to the system elements

(“sub-systems”). For each sub-system, a separate model

is generated that can be worked at independently by a

separate team. After completion of the sub-system models,

they are integrated again and tested against the black box

model behavior by running the respective sub-system state

charts concurrently.

and Traceability

Margaret Smith Holzmann, Jet Propulsion Laboratory,

Technical Group Supervisor

JPL has used IBM® Rational® DOORS® for 15 years to

capture requirements and plan and track verification for

projects ranging from deep space missions to Mars rovers.

Through trial and error, JPL identified and codified a set

of best practices centered on the use of a set of standard

attributes. Uniform usage of these attributes has allowed JPL

to develop a robust metrics reporting capability that gives

project teams quick and easy access to a snapshot of their

requirements maturity and verification progress. New projects

provide a requirements tree and JPL’s IBM Rational DOORS

administrators generate a turn-key system with the JPL

standard attributes, standard views, and a set of working

DXL scripts for generating metrics and graphics. Because

requirements span many levels, JPL has developed a tool

for visualizing IBM Rational DOORS requirements database

linkages and quickly navigating links.

Cliff Sadler, Brockwell Technologies, Inc., Senior Systems

Engineer – Rational Deployment Professional

Walking the walk of application lifecycle management is

always a challenge of compromises, existing tool capabilities,

and user adoption. Redstone Arsenal has adopted a

minimalist approach of implementation by introducing

additional capabilities as schedule and understanding allows,

for both the creators and consumers of project data. To that

end, the company has developed a support environment

that leverages the best practices of IBM® Rational® DOORS®,

IBM® Rational® DOORS Web Access™, IBM® Rational®

Rhapsody®, and IBM® Rational® Publishing Engine™ to

enable clear understanding of systems and rapid response

to changes for all stakeholders. Come see how a little bit of

technology can leverage a lot of trust and accuracy

for projects.

engineering that revolve around eliciting, defining, elaborating, understanding, organizing,

reviewing, communicating and tracking market/customer, product, and system requirements.

These activities help to ensure that the products/systems developed truly solve the customer/

market need. This track explores the experiences of product development and systems

engineering organizations with tools, techniques, and processes used to effectively define and

manage requirements. This track is for systems engineers, requirements engineers, engineering

managers and others interested in methodology and tools for requirements engineering. From

a tools perspective this track will focus on Rational DOORS (and its role as a key element of a

systems and software engineering solution).

Achieve High-Quality Technical Requirements

Using IBM® Rational® DOORS® with INCHRON’s

Real-Time Capabilities

Tapio Kramer, INCHRON GmbH, Marketing Manager

In the development process, requirements need specific

semantics for different domains and design levels. The

IBM® Rational® Jazz® platform enables domain-specific

tools to provide refined requirements to IBM® Rational®

DOORS®. System level requirements for the real-time

behavior of embedded systems are often defined informally

using weak phrases like “in time” or “fast enough.” To

derive formal technical requirements for the system’s

implementation, a translation into formulas with precise

events and physical time units is needed. By coupling the

INCHRON Tool-Suite with IBM Rational DOORS using open

services for lifecycle collaboration (OSLC), the semantics

of a system-level requirement can be redefined to formal

timing and performance requirements for the design. The

relationship between the refined INCHRON Tool-Suite

specific requirement and the original IBM Rational DOORS

requirement is kept. That guarantees traceability between

design steps and across tools.

Using IBM® Rational® DOORS® in an Agile Environment

Kimberly Cobb, IBM, WW Systems Solution Executive

Is there a conflict between agile, nimble, and “light” user

stories and “real” requirements that facilitate understanding

between business and development? Is the idea of

requirements as a written contract of sorts, especially in

ISO 26262 (derived from IEC 61508), is a functional safety

standard for automotive that describes how to manage

the safety lifecycle. This session outlines a model-based

lifecycle approach to ISO 26262 compliance governed by

IBM® Rational Team Concert™ and using process content

managed by IBM® Rational® Method Composer. Users are

guided through the process and managers get an overview

of the project progress, while engineers can learn on the

job. A key element of compliance relates to the reliability of

the software tools used to develop safety-critical software.

For each tool used to develop and test software, a use

case-based risk assessment must be performed and the

tool may require qualification to provide confidence that it

does not add additional risk into a development process.

This is not only applicable to ISO 26262 but also IEC 61508.

The session uses IBM® Rational® Test Conductor as an

example of how users can benefit from tool pre-qualification

performed by a tool vendor.

Public Sector Planning and Budgeting

James R. Amsden, IBM, Government Industry

Solution Architect

For public sector organizations to address decreasing

revenues, the inability to create new revenue sources,

increased mandates, and greater citizen needs, they must

find ways to do more with less. That means they need

to optimize not only what they do, but also how they do

it. Optimizing what a public sector organization does is a

planning process to determining how to deliver the most

high-priority outcomes with available revenue. Optimizing

how those outcomes are realized is a performance

management process to determine how to close

performance gaps to provide service levels that deliver the

expected outcomes at acceptable costs. This talk explores

how enterprise architecture and portfolio planning techniques

and reusable industry assets can be used to facilitate

public sector planning and budgeting and performance

management. These techniques evolved through

collaboration between IBM and the City of New Orleans

during a Smarter Cities Challenge in September of 2011.

Manager – BT/IT Tools

In 2010, IBM presented a five-year plan to shift its business

to higher growth areas, investing in acquisitions, focusing

on growth markets, and driving enterprise productivity.

Toward the goal of driving enterprise productivity, the

Business Transformation/Information Technology (BT/

IT) team has undertaken the task to evaluate the various

processes and tools that IBMers use to do business, then

to streamline those processes by updating, consolidating,

and integrating the tools required to do that work across

the enterprise—all in accordance with the standards and

guidelines the company has established. The result will

be a set of enterprise-wide business processes that are

more productive, efficient, and cost-effective. And there

are important advantages to IBM to use its own software

technology: Lower cost, making BT/IT a more highly

productive organization. Also, IBM becomes a key reference

account to many external clients that are potential users of

what IBM sells.

IT Portfolio Strategy & Management

The IT Portfolio Strategy & Management track will address disciplines that both inform IT strategy,

and enable the translation of IT strategy to actionable delivery by enabling executive and cross-

functional business-IT teams to make better-informed strategic and tactical decisions. In addition

to treating enterprise architecture, portfolio management, and delivery management as discreet

topics, the track will also bring together these topics to showcase the latest techniques for

managing IT from strategy to delivery in order to resolve more complex IT challenges, including, for

example, application portfolio management.

Strategic Planning for IT: Creating a Framework to

Embrace Organizational Change

Jamie Knowles, Corso, CTO; Martin Owen, Corso,

Managing Partner

How does an organization embrace market- and business-

driven change? Some organizations turn to their enterprise

architecture (EA) or IT architectures for answers. Others use

program boards to evaluate options based on lightweight

business cases that lack a broader context. In most cases,

IT is a follower, not a leader, in the strategic planning and

transition process. What’s needed is a systematic, flexible

approach for strategic planning for IT. An approach that helps

the organization unite the business and architecture view into

a central platform and leverage existing tools and the Web to

share information and decision-making across IT, EA, and the

business. The strategic planning platform (SPP) framework

is the next evolution in IT management. It is designed to

systematically manage change across an organization. It

draws upon new trends in Web technology to facilitate a

more decentralized approach to analyzing and prioritizing

market changes and business demands.

planned and implemented efficiently and that resources

are available? How do they ensure that team members

are working on the correct tasks? Different parts of the

organization answer those questions, and each has its own

tools and processes. So how do organizations manage the

full lifecycle of a project or product across those communities

and tools? Integrating those disparate applications is the

key to success. Planview Enterprise integrates with IBM®

Rational® Focal Point™ and IBM® Rational Team Concert™.

Bank of Canada Deploys IBM® Rational® Focal Point™

to Drive Its Application Portfolio Management Initiative

Stefan Zaichkowski, Bank of Canada, Assistant Director,

Enterprise Portfolio Management; Roger Le Blanc, IBM,

Strategic Offerings Lead

Following the 2008 global recession, Bank of Canada

realized it needed to improve its overall efficiency and agility,

so it decided to launch a strategic application portfolio

management (APM) initiative. In support of this initiative, the

bank implemented IBM® Rational® Focal Point™ to create a

comprehensive picture of its existing technology roadmap.

IBM Rational Focal Point provided portfolio management

capabilities and an integration with IBM® Rational® System

Architect®, which was also being deployed at the bank.

This session discusses the journey to implement the APM

initiative and highlights some of the key benefits realized.

These included a reduction of supported applications from

600 to 147 and a reduction in service level agreements from

17 to 4, which dramatically improved IT staff productivity and

provided greater visibility, helping improve long-term planning

and development of roadmaps, budgets, and change

management.

Lower Costs and Increase Business Agility Through

Application Portfolio Management

Per Kroll, IBM, Application Portfolio Management Architect

Most organizations spend 70-90 percent of their funds

keeping lights on, making it difficult to fund projects needed

to grow and transform the business. Application portfolio

management (APM) aims at analyzing an operational

application portfolio to identify initiatives that will reduce

the cost and improve the business agility of that portfolio.

This session walks through a pragmatic approach to APM,

including criteria that can be used to determine how to

rationalize and modernize a portfolio, which applications

to move to the cloud, which applications would benefit

from streamlining of service level agreements, and which

applications need compliance remediation. Presenters

demonstrate how IBM® Rational® Focal Point™ and other IBM

Rational tools can be used to aid in decision making. They

walk through case studies showcasing what companies have

accomplished by adopting APM.

presentation describes the setup used to achieve this.

Initial steps focus on establishing an architecture overview

to ensure a common understanding of the application

portfolio across the organization, essentially consisting

of an application inventory that highlights critical system

dependencies. The main goal is to support decision-making

based on application health assessments, where both

business and technical aspects are taken into account to

help determine the needs for application modernization

and platform renovation, and to manage how investments

are distributed. A large part of the application portfolio

management relies on a set of architecture boards that are all

part of a federated governance model under the oversight of

an enterprise architecture council.

In today’s business environment, organizations are required

to perform on a global basis, entering new markets, driving

global operations, and succeeding in creating a portfolio that

is market driven and running at a high return on investment.

One aspect of achieving this is through high-performance

product management and the utilization of the power of

information and data around portfolio and processes to make

accurate decisions, govern activities, and optimize actions.

On average, product managers spend more than 50 percent

of their working day gathering, sorting, compiling, and

presenting data and information in the collaborative cobweb

of their operations. This information is often business critical

and there is a very large risk that the quality of what is

presented in forums like a product council lacks the accuracy

of what is happening in reality. More than often, decisions are

made on more guess work than real-time facts.

Use of a Decision Framework to Drive Alignment

Across Critical Business and Engineering Roles

Gary DeGregorio, Decision Innovation, Inc.,

CTO & Co-Founder

Currently, enterprises of all sizes have no framework from

which to organize and manage all the decisions across the

business and/or its roles. This makes it extremely difficult to

understand how any one decision is influenced or impacted

by previously made decisions. In addition, there is an inability

to manage the consequences of key decisions across

the enterprise, and over time, making strategic alignment

accidental instead of by design. Since strategy development,

business planning, portfolio management, and engineering

are key application areas that are fundamental to long-term

business success, improvements in decision management

drive superior results in the individual roles and the alignment

and leverage of work across the roles. This presentation

focuses on the key decisions that support and drive

project portfolio management and discusses how strategic

alignment is achieved through the decision framework.

Where possible, customer examples are provided.

Introduction to Cloud Development and Deployment

Steven M. Huntington, IBM, Program Director, Cloud

Computing, Rational Software; Steven J. Weaver, IBM,

Rational Cloud/DevOps Marketing Manager

Today, teams are being asked to continually deliver new

and innovative products to market faster and faster, and

software is increasingly the key differentiator in those smarter

products. Development leaders understand success in this

new world depends on adapting application development

and deployment processes—and are constantly hearing that

cloud computing is the answer. This session explains what

cloud computing is and why it matters for development and

test. Presenters review the IBM® Rational® solutions for cloud

computing and how they can help speed time-to-market and

reduce the total cost of software delivery.


Delivery Management: Connecting Strategy with Delivery

Andrew Wallace, IBM, PPM Market Manager, IBM Rational;

Marty Levesque, IBM Rational, IBM Rational Solution Advisor

“Doing the right things” and “doing things right” are the

essential ingredients for successful software and systems

delivery. Unfortunately, with distributed delivery spanning

multiple disciplines, geographies, and time zones, many

organizations struggle with teams working in silos, broken

lines of communication, lack of collaboration, inadequate

traceability, and poor project visibility. This often results in

organizations “doing the wrong things” and “doing things

wrong,” with associated higher costs, project delays, and

lower quality. Breaking down these silos can be enabled

by providing a collaborative platform where the whole

organization can prioritize, share, and govern delivery.

The result is better informed decision making at all levels

and greatly improved communications and traceability

between teams, which drives greater delivery efficiency and

effectiveness and an overall increase in the business value

created by delivery teams.

The Benefits of Well-Managed Requirement

Traceability

Edward J. Gentry, IBM, RDM Web Client Architect; Muhtar

Burak Akbulut, IBM, Development Manager

The specification and realization of complex hardware and

software systems produces many artifacts. From high-

level product features and user requirements to system

requirements and verification requirements, the value of these

artifacts lies not only in their content but more importantly

in the relationship between them. These relationships show

how each component of the system relates to the whole

system. Properly managed traceability saves development

resources and time. Since each artifact is linked to their

dependent artifact, change and impact analysis is more

accurate and simpler. Artifacts without links to the user

requirements can be identified and eliminated, decreasing

overall development costs. Changes in higher level artifacts

can make dependent artifacts suspect, helping to effectively

manage changes in the system. Overall well-managed

traceability helps keep the forest in view despite the

many trees.

to be built between its new point-of-sale system and its

new SAP back-end. This integration had to be built cost

effectively within ambitious timescales to meet business

goals. It requires a certain level of organization for an effective

team—one of the key tenets of a software factory. But

even then, good organization is only going to go so far. For

a software factory to be really efficient, and cost effective,

Getting Requirements Right with Model-Based

Functional Analysis

Edmund J. Mayer, IBM, Rational Systems Practice Lead

Requirements definition is a critical part of the development

lifecycle, but it is common for system-level requirements

to be inconsistent and incomplete. The IBM® Rational®

solution for systems and software engineering provides

process guidance and tooling for model-based system

functional analysis. By visualizing requirements, engineers

have a better understanding of intended behavior. The IBM

Rational solution does not replace traditional approaches,

but instead applies modeling in a non-implementation way to

refine and improve upon system requirements. The outcome

is requirements that have been validated through model

execution and the avoidance of costly specification errors.

Unraveling Some of the Mysteries Around DOM-based

XSS

Dave Wichers, Aspect Security, Chief Operating Officer

DOM-based XSS was first revealed to the world back in

2005, when it was an interesting theoretical vulnerability.

In 2012, with the push toward Web 2.0 well into the

mainstream, DOM-based XSS has become a commonly

exploited but poorly understood vulnerability. This talk will

focus on the full range of issues around DOM-based XSS.

It will start with a discussion of the technical details of the

vulnerability, the true nature of the risk it introduces, and

some new terminology and updated definitions about what

differentiates a DOM-based XSS vulnerability from the well-

understood Stored and Reflected XSS. It will then discuss

the difficulties that security analysts face when trying to find

DOM-based XSS flaws and provide recommended analysis

techniques that help move DOM-based XSS discovery from

an art towards more of a science. And finally, it will discuss

simple techniques for avoiding DOM-based XSS issues as

well as how to mitigate issues that are uncovered during a

security review.

IBM Research Global Technology Outlook

Gabi Zodik, IBM, Department Group Manager (DGM),

Software and Services

Since 1992, IBM Research has marshaled the unique

capabilities of its global community of 3,000 scientists to

create the Global Technology Outlook (GTO). The GTO is

a comprehensive analysis that looks 5-10 years into the

future and considers the cultural and business contexts in

which new technology will be used and the impacts it will

have on IBM, its customers, and the world. In the past, it

has predicted trends such as autonomic computing, the

implications of pervasive connectivity, and the potential of

nanotechnology in systems development. Inside IBM, the

results of the GTO are used to determine areas of focus

and investment. Externally, it is shared broadly with a

range of IT influencers, including clients, academics, and

even competitors, through education and client briefings.

Throughout the process of creating the GTO, IBM Research

takes an unflinching look at trends that often extend well

outside of IBM’s own offerings. Attendees get an unvarnished

view of the GTO.


Smarter Systems Engineering—How Analytics are

Transforming the Role of Today’s Systems Engineers

Amit Fisher, IBM, Senior Manager, Business and Systems

Solution, IBM Research ; Asaf Adi, IBM, Manager, Simplified

Middleware & Tools

When designing the complex systems of tomorrow, systems

engineers have to deal with a vast number of subsystems

and components. These systems require large teams of

engineers working years to conceive, design, implement,

and maintain them. The engineering processes have become

extremely expensive and complex, and regularly exceed the

capacity of human “processing.” The role and importance

of the modern systems engineer is rapidly changing from

“design as an art” to “computational engineering,” in

which advanced technologies are applied to address the

complexity, multi-domain, and multi-scale challenges of 21st

century systems. This talk provides an overview of leading-

edge research directions and client projects in this area.

Presenters highlight new methods and algorithms to allow

systems optimization, simulation, verification, validation, and

testing. Early results from research projects with UTC, Airbus,

and IAI are shared with the audience.

Weaver—Advanced Development/Test Platform for

Integrated Infrastructure Development

Florian Rosenberg, IBM, Research Staff Member; Tamar

Eilam, IBM, Senior Manager and Research Staff Member

The industry has a pressing need to streamline software

delivery to reduce cost and time-to-market. However,

inefficiencies in IT operations lead to extraordinary long

release and low quality. This is rooted in the misalignment

incentives between development and operations teams

(maximize function versus maximize uptime). DevOps is

an industrial trend approach to better align the practices,

methods, and tools for software development and IT

operations. In this session, presenters describe the basic

IBM DevOps capabilities and the advanced IBM Research

capabilities. The advanced capabilities developed as part

of the Weaver project include an approach for adding

semantics to the application and infrastructures models by

providing a higher-level domain-specific language (DSL). The

available semantics enables impact analysis and pre- and

post-deployment validation checks to reduce the number of

potential problems that can occur during deployment.

Imagine Clear Diagnostics on a Cloudy Day

Matthew Arnold, IBM, Research Staff Member; Peter

Sweeney, IBM, Research Staff Member; Erik Altman, IBM,

Manager and Research Staff Member

IBM Research has developed a cloud-based tool for

performance diagnostics in cloud and other environments.

The tool is Whole-system Analysis of Idle Time, or “WAIT” for

short. Indeed WAIT helps find critical places where enterprise

workloads wait unnecessarily and harm performance. WAIT

has been used internally in IBM for more than 2.5 years by

more than 700 IBMers on six continents. WAIT is seamless

to use: it requires no changes to other software, no particular

versions of software, and no changes to deployment scripts

or command line options. Despite WAIT’s low touch and

fast time-to-value, WAIT can diagnose many common

problems, including lock contention, memory leaks, file I/O,

database bottlenecks, and too many or too few CPUs in an

elastic cloud. From the high-level problem, WAIT has many

drilldowns, including to code stacks, thread pools, and who

wrote problem code. WAIT reports can be shared via the URL.


Exploiting Application Assets: Using Legacy GUI Test

Scenarios for Quantitative Usability Testing

Rachel Bellamy, IBM, Research Staff Member; Bonnie E.

John, IBM, Research Staff Member; Peter Santhanam, IBM,

Senior Manager, Software Engineering

Only a small percent of business applications are developed

from a clean slate. So, developers must find ways to improve

an existing application through its many versions to meet

the increasing user demands and competitive pressures.

Presenters outline a method and tooling for quantitative

evaluation of an existing application user interface by

exploiting the legacy GUI test scenarios captured by tools

such as IBM® Rational® Functional Tester. They perform an

automatic UI-model extraction from the screens touched

by a test scenario and create storyboards and a usability

model. From an analysis of the model, they infer alternative

task paths beyond the original test scenario. Quantitative

metrics produced from the usability model can be used

for competitive evaluation or to evaluate proposed design

ideas versus the existing version. Preliminary feedback from

designers reveals that the approach resonates well with a key

pain point in real-world software application development.

Multicore: Design Matters When Cores Multiply

Neil Patterson, IBM, Marketing Manager – Design,

Development & Deployment; Martin R. Bakal, IBM, WW

Offering Manager, Electronics Industry

As multi-core processors become more pervasive, the

demands on organizations developing software for these

systems rapidly increase. The advantages of multi-core

architectures are many and include higher performance,

lower power consumption, lower cost, and more flexibility,

but these can only be realized if the corresponding software

is developed to unlock these benefits. Software is truly key

to delivering innovation in today’s multicore-based products.

More importantly, software and the needs of software

are now the drivers in determining the optimal multi-core

architecture for these products. The only way to handle the

complexity in this new environment is through a development

approach that allows early assessment of alternative designs,

automated generation of configurations and code to support

design decisions, and reuse with refactoring of existing

software optimized for the new multicore-centered

product architecture.


Tracing Test Cases to Non-Traditional Requirements

Jeffrey R. Cohen, IBM, Rational Specialty Architect

Traditionally engineers capture high-level requirements in text

to develop documents such as a CONOPS or SSDD. They

derive requirements for each subsystem and capture them

in detailed documents. As teams move toward specifying

systems with model-based systems engineering, they use

model artifacts to capture the key system concepts. Good

practice requires maintaining end-to-end traceability from

requirements to test. However, the traditional practice of

tracing test cases to textual requirements breaks down when

activity diagrams, sequence diagrams, and state charts

are used to specify the system’s behavior. This session

discusses a process where test cases are traced through

various model-based requirements artifacts. It shows how

to specify the system behavior in IBM® Rational® Rhapsody®

and expose that behavior with Remote Deployment Manager,

use IBM® Rational® Quality Manager to manage the test

cases, and use IBM® Rational® DOORS® to maintain the end-

to-end traceability.


Capturing and Managing Architectural Requirements

Paula White, IBM, Senior Technical Architect

Capturing requirements has always been difficult. Capturing

architectural requirements is particularly difficult. Today, this

is even more important than ever before. Thankfully, in the

context of iterative and evolutionary lifecycles, there are

some additional opportunities for feedback and learning that

can help. This session looks at the current trends that make

architectural requirements so important. Discover a systematic

approach to gathering architectural requirements primarily in

the context of an iterative or evolutionary approach, common

pitfalls to avoid, and tools and techniques that can be adopted

to help de-risk projects. This approach can help in finding

and managing those elusive and essential parts of a system’s

specification, executable behavior and evolutionary abilities.

Agile Systems Engineering


The arrival of the SysML modeling language changed the

face of systems engineering from a process of creating and

reviewing documents to the construction, analysis, and

execution of high-fidelity systems models. This evolution of

systems engineering has resulted in improved requirements

specification, better architectural definition, and better

hand-off to downstream engineering, including mechanical,

electrical, and software development. Agile methods have

proven successful in the software domain, but how can

these incremental, iterative, and agile methods be applied

to systems engineering? Bruce Powel Douglass, author of

Real-Time Agility, talks about how agile methods have had a

tremendous impact on the development of embedded and

real-time software and how to best gain the advantages of

agile methods within the systems engineering domain.

Using IBM® Rational® Software for Data

Consistency Assurance

Sandeep Katoch, IBM, Senior Software Engineer; Maneesh

Goyal, IBM, Product Manager; Praduemn Goyal, IBM,

Distinguished Engineer

Delivering sophisticated product offerings requires complex

IT solutions with a large number of application components

and multiplicity of tools for design and development. A

common problem faced is breakages resulting from a lack of

data consistency between various application components

and across multiple views of the data in the various tools.

This session describes how to use IBM® Rational® Software

Architect and unified modeling language modeling to develop

solutions and achieve a higher level of validation and reduce

the number of defects. Presenters demonstrate how to use

IBM Rational Software Architect to bring in external data

from other tools, such as user interface design tools, and

transform the imported data using custom transformations

into application data models. Traceability can be established

and maintained between imported data models and

application design model. Presenters show how changes

in data can be visualized and incorporated into the

application design.

For IT security to be optimized, it must be integrated

with existing technology infrastructure, investments, and

processes. Integration builds bridges across and between

“security silos,” reducing risks. For example, vulnerability

data discovered in a core application can automatically feed

into network protection devices, providing near real-time

updates on vulnerabilities. Security is more than technology;

it’s about understanding business processes and driving and

Application Security

Industry research, combined with high profile breaches, have illustrated that vulnerable applications

remain a dominant threat to today’s organizations. As online business grows, new challenges for

meeting application security and compliance emerge, resulting in the need for greater security

measures. Traditional reactive or manual security assessment approaches are cost prohibitive,

fall short of effectively protecting an organization, and cannot facilitate ongoing compliance

requirements. Security needs to be built in from the beginning, not bolted on as an afterthought,

and must be considered from the early stages of development throughout the final phases

of implementation. This track focuses on the fundamentals of application security—analysis

techniques, innovations, and best practice approaches for integrating security testing across the

Edition; Steve Carlucci, IBM, Architect/Development Lead,

AppScan Source Edition

Most organizations understand that application security

vulnerabilities represent critical threats to their reputation

and bottom line. However, most of these organizations also

lack the expertise, process, or tooling to find and remediate

these vulnerabilities. This session outlines the current

application security landscape, the most critical threats,

and best practices for mitigating these risks. In particular,

presenters demonstrate how IBM® Rational® AppScan®

Source Edition can be used to uncover, understand, and

remediate security issues in source code. They focus on best

practice workflows and how the product team is constantly

working to streamline the process of configuration analysis

scans to get solid actionable results. The discussion should

be valuable to users who are new to security analysis, as well

as long-time users of the product.


Reduce the Cost of Being Secure Through Application


Kelli Houston, IBM, Operational Excellence Leader,

Accelerators – Rational Offering Strategy an; Karl Snider,

IBM, Market Segment Manager, Application Security

Most developers have some level of awareness of application

security, and most development teams aspire to some

form of application lifecycle management (ALM). What

development teams have not addressed, however, is the

role that ALM can play in reducing the cost of being secure.

This presentation demonstrates the benefits that an ALM

approach can provide, using hard data to demonstrate that

security is a business requirement, typical approaches are

unnecessarily expensive, and ALM can reduce the cost of

with a demonstration of how solutions based on IBM®

Rational® Jazz® can help teams build more secure products.


Identifying and Mitigating Web Application Security

Risk by Integrating IBM® Rational® AppScan® with

Network Security Solutions

Vio Onut, IBM, Research and Development; Constantine

Grancharov, IBM, Product Manager, IBM Security

AppScan Enterprise

In today’s market, Web application vulnerabilities account for

49 percent of all discovered vulnerabilities according to IBM

X-Force 2010 Trend & Risk Report, with cross-site scripting

and SQL injection vulnerabilities continuing to dominate. The

costs associated with Web application security breaches

are staggering—bordering on billions of dollars in losses

for corporations. This session outlines a solution that

enables Web application security analysts to collaborate

with network security analysts to quickly identify application

vulnerabilities using IBM® Rational® AppScan®, raise visibility

of security risk by publishing vulnerabilities information to

IBM® SiteProtector™ and IBM® QRadar products, monitor

vulnerable application assets and raise threat alerts using

the IBM SiteProtector SecurityFusion™ module and IBM

QRadar, and take action for mitigating risk by configuring

virtual patches with IBM Security IPS until application security

updates are available.

War Games—Learning and Defeating

Application Defenses

Lotem Guy, IBM, Security Researcher

XSS vulnerabilities are everywhere. New technologies, such

as HTML5, bring about new attack vectors. Attacks are

becoming more and more sophisticated. Organizations are

asking if their scanners are smart enough to deal with this.

A new IBM technology revolutionizes DAST scanning by

breaking the mold. Instead of simply sending a bulk of pre-

canned tests, the new “XSS Analyzer” module actually learns

application defenses and then generates a step-by-step

exploit that is specifically crafted to defeat those defenses.

This allows an unprecedented level of detection rate for

vulnerabilities that no older-generation scanner can find. In this

session, presenters outline this exciting new technology, how it

works, and why DAST scanning will never be the same.

with IBM® InfoSphere® Guardium and IBM® Security

AppScan®

Eric Naiburg, IBM, Program Director, Information

Governance Solutions

There are daily reminders in the news on how devastating

a data breach can be to a company or agency. The loss

of personal information, financial records, or intellectual

capital means fines and loss of revenue, customers, and

brand image. Locking down an application and database

environment using vulnerability assessments is a great

way to protect valuable information and prevent becoming

tomorrow’s headline. IBM® Rational® AppScan® and IBM®

InfoSphere® Guardium provide hundreds of best practices

assessments, recommendations, tracking, and escalation

processes to help organizations get proactive in securing

their environments. In this session, learn how IBM Rational

AppScan and IBM InfoSphere Guardium work together

to provide robust security for applications and databases.

Security for Mobile Applications

Salvatore Guarnieri, IBM, Software Engineer

Mobile applications are increasing in popularity, both for

users and attackers. Mobile applications can be very useful,

but they also pose as a new attack vector. They interact

directly with users, contain confidential information for a

business and an individual, and often communicate with

servers during the course of their execution. The bugs and

attacks highlighted in the media suggest that one major

cause for problems in mobile applications is a lack of

understanding of security issues in development. Since there

are several application types in the mobile environment, IBM®

Rational® AppScan® provides several tools that developers

can use to identify security problems in their code. These

tools range from scanning the server code responsible

for sending data to and receiving data from the mobile

application to scanning code that runs natively on the smart

phone. This session will cover security problems in mobile

applications and how to use IBM Rational AppScan to

detect them.

Agile Practices and IBM® System z® Development:

A Customer Case Study

Joseph Rounceville, Nationwide Insurance, Director, IT App

Development; Chris Trobridge, IBM, Product Line Manager

Traditional software development methods don’t dictate

how frequently or regularly teams integrate all the source

code on a project. Programmers can work separately for

days or even weeks on the same code without realizing

how many conflicts (and perhaps bugs) they are generating.

Because they are producing robust code with each iteration,

agile teams find that they are slowed down by the long

resolution and debugging sessions that occur at the end

of long integration cycles. For these reasons, agile teams

often choose to use continuous integration. For teams doing

traditional IBM® System z® development (COBOL/IBM®

CICS®/IMS) that are adopting agile, achieving automated

continuous integration comes with a number of challenges,

but the promises inherent to it remain an enticing objective.

This session discusses Nationwide Insurance’s experience in

mapping continuous integration concepts used in distributed

development to the IBM System z domain —both successes

and remaining challenges.

IBM® CICS®: From Waterfall to Agile—A One-Year

Retrospective

N. L. Hopper, IBM, CICS Platform Focus Team Leader

IBM® CICS® has been developed for over 40 years using

the most current best practices. In 2005, the IBM CICS

team moved to using iterative development, and then in

2009, the team started the migration to IBM Rational tools

for a single end-to-end development environment. In June

2011, this transformation was completed when the IBM

CICS TS for IBM® z/OS® product was developed (and now

maintained) using IBM® Rational Team Concert™. In addition,

for effective requirement management, IBM CICS customers

can now open requirements to the IBM CICS team using

IBM® Rational® Requirement Composer for elaboration, and

these requirements then are synchronized with IBM Rational

Team Concert for further evaluation by the CICS team.

Come learn how this team has moved even further with its

implementation, as members discuss the reasons for the

move, the challenges in getting there, the benefits realized,

and some of the innovation being delivered using IBM

Application Portfolio Management in Action—

Improving Business Agility while Reducing Costs

James R. Slade, IBM, Executive IT Consultant,

Rational Tiger team

Most organizations spend 70-90 percent of their software

budget maintaining the current application portfolio. This

makes it difficult to fund the projects needed to grow and

transform the business. Application portfolio management

(APM) helps organizations better manage application

portfolio investments and identify software initiatives that will

improve business agility and reduce software maintenance

costs. This session walks through the IBM Rational approach

to enterprise APM and how it will help organizations

determine application modernization strategies that lead

to rapid reductions of costs and improved business agility.

Presenters demonstrate how IBM® Rational® Focal Point™

together with other IBM Rational tools can be used to aid in

decision-making.

The Mobile Revolution

Ayushman Jain, IBM, System Software Engineer

It could have started back in 1998 when Nokia developed the

snake game app. Yet it only came about 10 years later when

iOS and Android came into being. “The Mobile Revolution”

now promises to be the biggest disruptive force in computing

since the Internet. While a rapid increase in capability of

the devices and sophistication of the audience opens new

opportunities, it begets several new questions. Does a

business need a mobile app? How can organizations start?

What considerations go into building a good app? What are

the different ways of building a mobile app? How are other

people doing it? How do organizations test and deploy their

app? How do they empower their mobile development team

to be agile? How do they maintain the customized OS distros

that ship with device models? IBM shares experiences at this

mobile development session. Understand how IBM Rational

and IBM solutions can help overcome the challenges in

delivering value via mobile computing.

Building the Orchestra: Advocating for IBM® Rational

Team Concert™ in an Organization

Bonnie E. John, IBM, Research Staff Member; Evelyn

Duesterwald, IBM, Manager, Software Governance; Patrick

A. Wagstrom, IBM, Research Staff Member

One of the most important roles in any organization is the

person who finds out about leading-edge technologies,

determines whether and how they should be used, becomes

a local expert, and then helps champion the adoption of that

technology within their organization. Whether that person is

called an advocate, champion, or maestro, that role is vital

both to the organization and to every advance in information

technology. Yet, there are relatively few courses or articles

that teach personnel how to fill this role. In session, people

who have had some positive success experiences being

the maestro for IBM® Rational Team Concert™ are invited,

as well as those who would like to learn more. People are

encouraged to share their success stories and lessons

learned, as well as gather ideas from the community on

future steps to further and support the creation and sharing

of knowledge on this vital topic.

The World of Testing Is Changing

Moshe S. Cohen, IBM, QM Makt Manager/Offering Manager;

Allan Wagner, IBM, Marketing Solution Manager

In pursuit of the ultimate in quality, organizations are looking

to their test professionals or independent test teams for help.

For some organizations, testing processes seem old and

tired, where test resources follow the same steps over and

over because that is the way testing has always been done.

As the world of testing is changing, now is the time to ask if

one’s approach to quality is the best that it could be. Attend

this session to openly discuss and collaborate with others on

how testing is changing, what challenges teams are facing,

and what others are doing in their pursuit of ultimate quality.


Come and Discuss How to Optimize Delivery of SAP

James Hunter, IBM, Segment Manager, System Integrators

and Package Applications

To successfully implement and maintain SAP, organizations

need to act faster, more efficiently, and smarter. It’s about

speeding up the implementation of SAP solutions, process

changes, enhancements, and support packs by using the

tools and insights needed to make optimal, fact-based

business decisions. Most organizations face challenges in

their efforts to become smarter, better SAP-run businesses.

Siloed teams or tools and poorly integrated systems can

make it difficult to act with speed and agility, which hurts

competitiveness and can hamper efforts to respond to

new business demands. This session is an opportunity for

attendees to discuss their challenges, experiences, and

best practices in delivering more agile, more effective SAP

implementations.

Enterprise Software Delivery: Balancing Agility and

Efficiency in the Global Software Supply Chain

Alan Brown, Distinguished Engineer & CTO Europe,

IBM Rational

In enterprise organizations, software delivery is essential

for the efficient and stable delivery of core capabilities to

the business, and it is the driving force for the innovation

and differentiation of new services and products to the

market. Businesses are enhancing their own enterprise

software delivery organizations with systems integrators

and technology partners to create centers of excellence

and capability centers that specialize in delivering value to

the business. This is called a software factory approach to

solution development.

At the same time, enterprise organizations are demanding

rapid innovation and evolution of existing enterprise software

solutions to support deployment to new platforms, address

new market needs, and overcome competitive threats. While

standardization using software factories helps reduce cost

and improve predictability of enterprise software delivery,

agile ways to approach innovation are essential for solution

differentiation and to enhance the value delivered to the

enterprise’s clients. Significant invention, adaptation, and

flexibility is essential in research and development activities to

drive forward the solutions brought to market, and to improve

the services made available. Yet we often find these aspects

to be in conflict with the needs for efficiency and control.

The Executive Summit at Innovate 2012

012 This talk proposes that success in enterprise software

delivery highly depends on an organization’s ability to balance

agility and efficiency. These strategies must be supported by

team-based practices that encourage and enhance scalable

approaches to agility that allow the organization to:

Collaborate among and across global team

Deliver solutions with agility and flexibility in light of

dynamic market needs

Focus on quality to ensure delivery of high-value

capabilities that meet stakeholder needs and

expectations

Continuously monitor and measure enterprise software

delivery to offer honest, accurate assessments of

progress and value.

In this context, this talk discusses global enterprise software

delivery, explores approaches to enterprise software

delivery in use today, and provides a set of examples and

recommendations for effectively balancing agility and

efficiency across the global software supply chain.

Smarter products, with intelligence powered by software,

are changing the way people live, work, and play. However,

the intelligence embedded within these products comes

with a price—complexity. Managing complexity is often

difficult using business approaches that were implemented

years ago. In fact, delivering these products requires a new

way of thinking about business and product development

objectives. Join representatives from leading companies,

including Raytheon, Volvo, and Diagnostic Grifols, to hear

how they are addressing product complexity challenges,

Product Development; Kurt Sand, Program Director, Product

Management & Strategy, IBM Rational; Brian Wells, VP,

Corporate Engineering, Raytheon

To stay ahead of competition, product manufacturers are

increasingly relying on software to provide the functionality

that differentiates their products from the rest of the field.

The increase in software seen only over the last few years

is forcing significant changes in product development. A

traditional mechanical-centric approach to product definition

is no longer sufficient to model the complexity inherent in

today’s software-intensive products.

Product development organizations are now seeing an

increased need for greater interaction across engineering

disciplines, particularly between software engineering and

electrical/electronics engineering. This panel, featuring

experts from Raytheon, INCOSE, Ovum, Siemens PLM,

IBM and others, will investigate the impact of this trend

on product development, and discuss solutions for using

a systems engineering approach to converge engineering

disciplines, particularly early in product development when

the cost of change is relatively low.

The Business of Open Services for Lifecycle: Save

Money, Integrate Better

Dibbe Edwards, VP, Development, IBM Rational; Karla

Wallace, Senior Manager, Vehicle Engineering Electrical

Systems, General Motors

As businesses continue to move toward agile practices,

they have increasingly complex environments and diverse

tools, including open source, homegrown, and multiple

vendor tools. They are looking for ways to simplify the IT

costs associated with their development lifecycles, as well

as ensure their teams are increasing their collaboration

and effectiveness across systems. Determining the best

ways to leverage integration architecture, from linked data

to redundant synchronizations to fragile API level code, is

not just a technical problem but a business decision. Dibbe

Edwards, VP of Rational Development, and Karla Wallace,

Sr. Manager of Electrical Systems, Program Manager for

Controls Next Generation Tools and Process, will explore

some of the reasons that understanding Open Services for

Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) and Rational’s strategy for

simple, loosely coupled integration inspired by the proven

methods of internet architecture are critical at a business

level. Selecting the right model of integration can lead to

better maintainability, reduced IT and support costs, and

more efficient development processes.

Dibbe will share best practices from IBM Rational’s

integrations development process, including how Rational

is utilizing the OSLC SDK and developing strategic third-

party adapters. By reviewing the value Rational has seen

by adopting OSLC as their integration strategy, Dibbe will

expand at an executive level on the ROI and improved quality

in Rational’s integrated product portfolio. Karla will explore

how OSLC unlocks the value and flexibility General Motors

needs to configure its robust next generation control systems

development tool chain. Karla will share an example of how

supplier adoption of OSLC makes possible General Motor’s

integration of PLM and ALM engineering processes.

Agile Metrics: How Do You Know You’re Becoming

More Agile?

Mike O’Rourke, VP, Offering Strategy & Delivery, IBM

Rational; Walker Royce, Chief Software Economist,

IBM Rational

Many organizations are transitioning to agile development

methodologies to increase quality and improve cycle times.

As Ken Schwaber has noted: “Agile development will not

solve any of your problems, it will just make them so painfully

visible that ignoring them is harder.” Becoming more agile is

a popular means to an end, but how do you measure those

means so that you predictably improve business outcomes?

Are your project assessments exposing true progress

and quality trends? Or, are you encouraging dysfunctional

measurement behaviors which dilute the open and honest

communications you need in an emerging agile culture?

This discussion will spotlight lessons learned in measuring

progress, quality, and productivity in an agile transformation.


Virtualization—A Key Ingredient for Improving Quality

and Business Agility

Peter Cole, Director of Quality Management, IBM Rational

Taking advantage of market place opportunities is key to

business success. Successful organizations require that their

software development teams quickly assemble innovative

solutions to establish competitive advantage. In meeting

demands, composite applications are being deployed

connecting legacy and new software or services developed

in house or provided by other sources. However, testing

these interconnected and interdependent components is

creating a new set of challenges in one’s pursuit of increasing

quality. It could actually be said that testing has become the

new Agile development bottleneck with delays, inefficiencies,

and labor resources are all contributing to a single

outcome—the cost of testing is still rising. While you have

probably heard quality cannot be tested in, you can improve

your testing process achieving an increased level of quality

and consumer satisfaction. Attend this session to hear how

virtualization of dependent software and services can help

you balance quality and speed, reduce your testing costs,

and help to make quality a responsibility shared by all.

When Technology Is Not Enough

Chuck Ratigan, Director of Services, IBM Rational;

Kurt Sand, Program Director, Product Management &

Strategy, IBM Rational

Technology is powerful. It can lead to tremendous benefits,

or it can become a stumbling block to an otherwise savvy

company if not properly used to address specific business

needs. Today’s leading companies are not only implementing

the latest technology tools, but they are also adopting

best practices to ensure that technology that they acquire

adequately addresses their business objectives. Join industry

and practice leaders from IBM to learn about best practices

for accelerating development, establishing repeatable

processes, and introducing organization change that impacts

the bottom line.


Architecting for the Cloud

Jamie Thomas, VP, Development & Strategy, IBM Tivoli

The first “Optimizing the World’s Infrastructure” will be

delivered hosted by Jamie Thomas, IBM’s Vice President

of Strategy and Development for IBM® Tivoli®. You can see

from the title of this session just how comprehensive IBM’s

perspective is; what you may not realize is that the IBM

Tivoli portfolio backs up that perspective with a similarly

comprehensive range of the capabilities you need to achieve

superior visibility, control, and automation in your business

operations.

Attendees will be taken through that portfolio, touching on

recent IBM innovations that reflect the emerging needs and

interests of IBM customers today. As organizations strive to

create a competitive distinction—really standing out from

the pack by delivering top-tier, in-demand services—IBM

is empowering them by helping them drive up service

performance and availability and drive down business costs

and risks. Also discussed will be particular case studies

in which IBM clients have already achieved some of these

goals, becoming more agile both in creating new business

strategies and in executing them via the IT infrastructure.

There is a perception in the marketplace that as baby

boomers retire, it will be difficult to replace their IT skills

(COBOL, client/server, legacy architecture, institutional

knowledge, etc). Various surveys have highlighted the

increasing need to groom the next generation of enterprise

development skills as existing staff begins to leave the

workforce. How do you retain your current staff who have

the domain knowledge, while attracting and integrating new

talent with very little experience in traditional development

tools and processes? Hear from members of the Academic

successfully leveraged the Enterprise skills building, training

and awareness programs within their organizations in

bridging skills gaps including addressing growing need for

cloud, mobile, and agile methodologies.


You Need an “App for That”: Cost Effective Mobile

Application Development and Delivery

Leigh Williamson, Distinguished Engineer, Rational CTO Team

Mobile Strategy Leader, IBM Rational

You and your customers are demanding mobile access to

your business. You need to meet that demand immediately

with compelling, easy-to-use mobile apps that attract

your target audience. But you need to create these mobile

apps at a reasonable cost in a constantly changing mobile

landscape. The wrong choice of implementation and

tools can delay projects, drive up costs, and prevent you

from meeting changing customer needs. We’ll discuss

these challenges and how IBM can help optimize your

development organization, processes, and tools to deliver

the right app at the right time and at the lowest cost.

The Next Generation of Risk-Aware Business Cases—

Rational and Customers are Using it Now!

Kamal Bherwani, Chief Digital Officer, Grupo Prisa SA;

Murray Cantor, Business Strategist, IBM Rational; Michael

Rowe, Distinguished Engineer and CTO Office, IBM Rational

Managing a complex portfolio of software development

projects must account for the uncertainty of markets,

customers, and the development process. IBM Rational,

like its customers, face investment decisions in the face of

several kinds of uncertainty:

Competitive Landscape

Evolving Customer/user needs and regulations

Costs to create and the benefits (both monetary and

non-monetary) of new products or IT capabilities

Even so, we expect the business case to be populated with

firm values. And so, the cases we build have low credibility.

It is especially challenging to build credible business cases

for potentially high value, innovative efforts. IBM Rational

provides the Investment Analytsis capability in Focal Point—

a tool for building and tracking credible, probability-based

business cases for risky, uncertain investments.

Mr. Kamal Bherwani will describe why and how he used

the tool as well as his vision for better managing innovation.

Further, Michael Rowe will describe Rational’s adoption of the

tool for building business cases.

Finally, we will share our lessons learned from these

experiences and will highlight the recent customer-driven

additions to Focal Point.

Leveraging Cloud to Transform Software Delivery

Ashok Reddy, IBM, Director, Offering Strategy & Delivery,

Cloud; John Penoyer, Panasonic, Group Manager,

Engineering; Scott Farnum, McDonald’s Corporation,

Global Infrastructure Leader

Organizations keep hearing how the evolution of cloud in IT

computing models can provide revolutionary implications

for business, including being more efficient, with greater

flexibility, and with lower costs. What’s reality and what’s

hype? This session will explore the most common adoption

patterns for cloud, identify how IBM can help, and reveal

how several organizations handled the move, overcame

challenges, and successfully moved to cloud to streamline

and enhance the work of their software developers and

delivery professionals. Leveraging cloud can help you and

your teams throughout the lifecycle—in development, test,

staging, and production.


Best Practices in Enterprise Modernization

Tim Hahn, Distinguished Engineer and Chief Architect,

IBM Rational; Richard Moran, VP, Architecture, Fidelity

Investments; Phil Murphy, Analyst, Forrester Research; Rick

Slade, Executive IT Consultant, Tiger Team, IBM Rational

Poor alignment between the IT strategy and the business

strategy, high application maintenance costs and

inflexible, aging, and poorly integrated IT systems or lack

of collaboration among different development teams are

some of the common challenges organizations are trying to

address as part of their enterprise modernization initiatives.

Join our enterprise modernization panel of experts to hear

about their experiences in how they have been able to

help drive down the overall cost of computing while

improving productivity and infrastructure efficiency through

application modernization, portfolio rationalization, and

adoption of modern tools and processes as part of their

modernization efforts.
