The Object Management Group® (OMG®) is an international, open membership, not-for-profit technology standards consortium. Founded in 1989, OMG standards are driven by vendors, end-users, academic institutions, and government agencies.

In this webinar, you will learn how to use the Cloud Working Group discussion paper on “Domain Taxonomies for Data Governance,” issued by OMG in December 2023, to identify, inventory, tag and manage sensitive information stored in the cloud. The “domains” of the title refer to personal data protection, export controls, classified or defense information, and intellectual property. The paper also presents some of the mechanisms and tools that can be used to secure such information, and a scheme to attach classification labels to each dataset.

Domain Taxonomies for Data Governance

We have been developing software for well over half a century. Throughout that time, people have proposed practices and methods that promise high performance for teams that choose them. Yet, beyond the few case studies accompanying the advertising and the hype, we don’t seem to see the promised results.  
This inevitably leads to new and better methods that promise to address the failings of their predecessors. But they don’t. They also have their shortcomings, and beyond the few case studies accompanying the new hype, they fail to bring the promised results to teams that adopt them. 

The answer is not to create new and better methods and frameworks. Instead, we must look into why methods fail to deliver what they promise and overcome those problems. That’s what Ivar Jacobson set out to do and what led to Essence being adopted as an OMG Standard ten years ago.  

In those ten years, we have seen a growing number of experts and methodologists use Essence to describe their frameworks and practices, and an increasing number of teams and organizations adopt Essence. 

This talk will explore some of the use cases of Essence and the value it can provide to various stakeholders, including the methodologist, the team, and the organization. We will share some success stories and look to the future by describing some of the changes proposed for Essence 2.0 and the drivers behind them. We will also explain why Essence is designed for a world of living and breathing AI.

Whether you are entirely new to Essence or already enjoying its benefits, there will be something to interest you in this talk.

Essence – The Standard Bearer for High-Performing Teams

Cybersecurity is critical in developing and running complex, distributed systems.  As systems become more interconnected and intelligent, protecting data against cyberattacks and unauthorized participants becomes increasingly challenging. The first step to securing a distributed system is to protect its data.  

As a publish/subscribe protocol, DDS helps ensure that only authorized users and nodes can transmit and receive data, providing zero-trust, end-to-end data protection and data-origin authentication. 

The DDS Security specification defines the security model and Service Plugin Interface (SPI) architecture for DDS-compliant implementations. This enables out-of-the-box security between compliant DDS applications. Specifically, the use of SPIs allows DDS users to customize the authentication, access control, encryption, message authentication, digital signing, logging and data tagging.

The OMG will release an updated version of the DDS Security specification later this year. Last updated in 2018, the updated version includes new cryptographic algorithms, key rotation, support for dynamic revocation of credentials and hardness against DoS attacks. This webinar will provide an overview of the DDS Security spec with an emphasis on the new features. The presentation will be followed by audience Q&A.

What’s New in the DDS Security Standard

Developers of systems running Data Distribution Service (DDS) use Quality of Service (QoS) policies to configure the behavior of the service.  For example, a user can declare that a DataWriter and DataReader are reliable, which obligates the service to deliver each and every sample from the DataWriter to the DataReader.  QoS separates the concerns of "what" (reliable data transfer) from "how" (resends, acknowledgments, etc.).
 
In this talk, we will
• introduce the 22 QoS policies in the DDS Specification
• describe use cases for various QoS policies
• look at a few "gotchas" related to QoS
 
The session will include an audience question and answer.

DDS, the US Navy, and the Need for Distributed Software

Application modernization is more than ever at the top of the agenda across different industries. Some of the reasons involve cost, business agility, availability of skilled workforce, end of life of certain technologies and platforms, etc. 

Whatever the reasons, every transformation comes with its own set of challenges and risks. Many of these risks are related to organizational complexity, functional complexity, or lack of understanding of the current systems and applications. In this session, we will try to address this last aspect, and we’ll see how understanding your current systems blueprints and inner workings can help you make informed decisions on a relevant modernization strategy. 

Join CAST on Thursday, December 14th at 11:00am ET to gain some insights on what they’ve learned while working with some of their clients.

Essence – Redefining Software Engineering

25 years ago, the Object Management Group's (OMG) Unified Modeling Language enhanced modeling efficiency in software intensive systems and continues to be used by engineers worldwide today. It is now considered by many, that OMG's Essence standard along with its updated 2.0 version will have an even greater global impact because it can be integrated into every facet of the engineering process. Going beyond software engineering to include all engineering processes.

This webinar provides an overview of the intent of Essence v2.0 and how to get involved in this latest version.

Towards Essence 2.0: Removing Engineering Limitations

Governments, social scientists, technologists, and even the heads of AI organizations are expressing concerns about the potential misuse of the power unleashed by Foundation Models and Generative AI. Many nations and organizations have already started taking steps to regulate this powerful technology to prevent possible misuse and disruption of the societal fabric. Fear and concerns are synonymous with the approach toward nuclear technology worldwide. 

The teams of the Object Management Group (OMG) Responsible Computing Initiative launched a Tiger team to study and evaluate the potential concerns regarding Generative AI Techniques (GAIT) and recommend ways to channel the capabilities of GAIT responsibly to benefit society. 

Specific objectives include investigations on how to:

- Instill trust and reduce bias in the data used to build GAI models.
- Recommend proper and ethical use of AI models whilst protecting the intellectual rights of authors, artists, and other professionals.
- Regulate the proliferation of AI models to ensure no disruptive effects on employment, society, and the environment.
- Educate the consumers, administrators, and governmental bodies on the dangers and limitations of excessive use of AI models.

The different tracks of this initiative are:

• Ensure trustworthy Generative AI Models, which must be based on accurate and unbiased data.
• Impact on the Labor market, especially many white-collar jobs like copywriters, interpreters, and even professionals like investment advisors, editors, lawyers, customer support professionals, creative writers, doctors, etc.
• Issues related to IP, copyright violation, ownership, royalty, etc.
• Impact on the environment with the power-hungry deep learning process to build(train) GAI models.

Michael Linehan (OMG) and Cheranellore Vasudevan (IBM) will present their thoughts as they start their work on this initiative.

Responsible Generative AI

Systems Modeling Language™ v2 (SysML® v2), whose beta version was just adopted by our Board of Directors and is currently in its finalization phase, will enable modeling of increasingly complex systems as part of the evolving practice of model-based systems engineering, and provide improved precision, expressiveness, consistency, usability, interoperability, and extensibility over SysML v1.

The collection of SysML v2 specifications were submitted to the OMG Board of Directors for approval as beta specifications and have entered their finalization phase. The SysML v2 submission concluded five years of development with representation from over 80 organizations, resulting in three specifications and an open-source pilot implementation to validate them. It is anticipated that the final adopted specifications will be approved by the OMG in 2024 and that some of the tool vendors will have commercial SysML v2 implementations available at that time.

This webinar includes two parts presented by the co-leaders of the SysML v2 Submission Team. The first part includes an overview of SysML v2 capabilities and a comparison of SysML v2 with SysML v1, while the second part addresses some of the key language design decisions that led to the current specifications and the rationale for those decisions.

Systems Modeling Language™ v2 (SysML® v2) Overview

Cloud users are constantly subjected to a confusing barrage of claims and counterclaims. Myths about cloud computing abound, from exaggerated promises from vendors to the FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) that is sometimes no more than resistance to change.

There are websites and publications that address cloud computing myths and some of these sources are useful, but many are derivative, repetitive, simplistic, or poorly reasoned. The OMG Cloud Working Group has captured the collective knowledge of its members to publish a neutral analysis of thirteen prevalent myths entitled Cloud Myths & Realities, which covers such hotly debated topics as cost, security, ease of management, and more. This webinar briefly addresses those myths and most will find this discussion paper a useful companion to our other 37 Publications, such as the Practical Guide to Cloud Computing, and will help cloud customers make better decisions about cloud services.

Cloud Computing Myths & Realities

How to Spot the Waste in IT and Web Development

Software now powers everything from smartphones and cars to medical devices and critical infrastructure. However, with the rise of cyber threats and recent government orders, it is crucial to clearly understand what components are in the system, where they came from, who has had access to them, whether they are subject to licenses, and whether they harbor known vulnerabilities. This is where Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) comes in.
 
Join us for an informative webinar on SBOM. In this webinar, you will learn how Software Component Analysis (SCA) is key to having an up-to-date SBOM and get answers to these critical questions:

1. Why are SBOMs critical for software development, security, and compliance?
2. How are SBOMs implemented and used to control software supply chain risks?
3. What are the contents of an effective SBOM?
4. What are the challenges and risks associated with SBOM implementation?
5. What are tools and best practices for creating and maintaining an effective SBOM?
 
This webinar is ideal for software developers, security professionals, compliance officers, IT managers, and anyone interested in learning about SBOM and its impact on software supply chain management.

Introducing the Responsible Computing Self-Assessment

The UAF is the latest modeling specification for systems of systems (SoS) modeling. It is designed to cover all the viewpoints from the latest defense architecture frameworks, namely DoDAF, MoDAF, NAF and others. The UAF is a very rich specification with several layers (domains) and aspects (“model kinds”) and while it is very rich and expressive, how to apply it in a real-life context can be quite challenging. One challenge is how to translate concepts of operation, existing and future capabilities, planning and acquisition strategy into a concrete UAF model. Another challenge is how to properly use the various levels of abstractions across its domains to enable reuse across different concrete realizations. Yet another challenge is that UAF does not exist in isolation and needs to be integrated with a broader set of lifecycle tools, such as requirement tools, system models in SysML, planning tools, simulation tools and others.  

In this demo, we describe how we transform conops documents and requirements into an actual UAF model using an emergency response system, which is a SoS. We demonstrate how the various UAF aspects are modeled, how the UAF modeling environment is integrated with a requirements management system, how the UAF technical views are integrated and transformed into SysML system models, and how roadmaps and plans are integrated with planning tools. We will also show how behavioral aspects of the SoS UAF models are simulated to validate them and reason about the behavior of the overall SoS. The overview will include demonstrations using an actual set of tools typically used in engineering environments.
