I’ve been with NASA for over 25 years and Nebula is by far the most dynamic project I’ve worked on to date. Truly inspired, Nebula has many lessons to share with others on how a small group can drive innovation within a larger, highly structured organization. I’m glad to be a part of Team Nebula so that can I experience daily the energy that pumps through this project team. Innovation doesn’t always come easily… especially in a large federal government agency. True, rules and regulations are needed to manage behemoth organizations and protect taxpayers, but this always has to be balanced so that creativity and innovation are nurtured, not stifled.

The senior NASA managers responsible for the oversight of Nebula understand this key point. How does Nebula do it? Fortunately, Nebula has become a magnet for IT talent. The use of leading edge communications brings us together as a team. Shoot me an email at nebula-inquiries@lists.nasa.gov. Modeling and Analyzing Enterprise Cloud Service Architecture - Part I. Abstract: Enterprise Cloud Computing (ECC) is a new paradigm of distributed computing.

Modeling and Analyzing Enterprise Cloud Service Architecture - Part I

ECC enables a new business model for enterprise computing and provides a new enterprise architectural style which brings new patterns and design principles into Enterprise Architecture (EA). The enterprise service-oriented architecture (ESOA) is an enterprise architectural style which is an abstraction of concrete enterprise service-oriented architectures. The ESOA includes SOA architectural elements, service design patterns as well as principles, and SOA quality attributes. Both styles share several common goals as well as conceptual foundations and they can connect and refine each other.

This paper first presents a framework for modeling architectural styles and then defines a new hybrid architectural style, Enterprise Cloud Service Architecture (ECSA), by combining and refining the ESOA and ECC.

Information technology has enabled new approaches to business architecture.

Outside-In Business Architecture with VDML

It has changed relationships with business partners and customers, enabled business operations to be globally distributed, and reduced the time and cost of business operations. However, optimal business design can no longer be achieved by simply automating the existing business design—an inside-out approach. An optimal architecture requires a design that takes advantage of the capabilities of modern information technology but is driven by an outside-in perspective. The design of the business must be driven by the values and relationships of customers and other participants in the business ecosystem as well as optimization of business operations to achieve competitive cost, quality and timeliness objectives. This change in perspective is reflected in my earlier blog, “Rethinking Business for a Changing World.”

VDML is designed as a business design language for business people. TOGAF® Information Site - The Open Group. TOGAF exam prep.
