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.

A quarter century ago, OMG's Unified Modeling Language (UML) absolutely redefined efficiency in modeling software intensive systems. It has had such a lasting impact, that engineers today continue to unconsciously use it despite stating they don't. It has indeed become second nature in the way modeling is done. Now, there is a well-founded expectation that OMG's Essence standard will not only follow suit, but have a greater resonating effect when working with methods in software engineering because it doesn’t just deal with modeling, it involves every facet in the software engineering process.
 
During this webinar you will learn the essence (fundamentals and values) of Essence. Carlos Mario Zapata-Jaramillo (Professor of Computer & Decision Science, Universidad Nacional de Colombia) once said, “400 years from now people will talk about Essence in the same way as people talk about what Newton and Galileo did 400 years ago”. In short, Essence has and will continue to have a profound impact on software engineering operations. We will also discuss how and why Essence facilitates the elimination of the irrelevant when working with methods, such as the proliferation of gurus and methodological sects, having no common ground for methods, and no bridge between learning and action. We will also discuss and demonstrate various “killer use cases”, which Essence brings to teams and organizations developing software.

We won’t force you to take our words at face value. Rather, we will invite key individuals from large organizations that have either adopted Essence or are in the process of doing so. We will also invite well-known methodologists who have streamlined their work using Essence. Finally, we will discuss work that is nearly underway in OMG generalizing Essence to be effective across the engineering spectrum.

We guarantee an eye and mind opening webinar, which you will reference long after viewing.

Essence – Redefining Software Engineering

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. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and ask questions to our expert speaker. Register now!

SBOM 101: How to Control Software Supply Chain Risks Like a Pro

Join us for a tour of the Responsible Computing Self-Assessment. The self-assessment charts a journey and provides recommendations based on responses to achieving sustainable practices in ICT environments for technology vendors and their clients, assessing six domains: Code, Data Center, Data Usage, Impact, Infrastructure, and Systems. 

The self-assessment is available to the public on our website: https://responsiblecomputing.net/responsible-computing-self-assessment/

Our members are working on a maturity model and deeper assessment, which will be available to our member organizations to provide a more profound framework of how to be a responsible computing leader.

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.

There's been a push in our industry to make security real-time, continuous, and complete. As such, many tools have emerged, including Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solutions, Vulnerability and Code Scanners, etc., to try and find issues before they occur. However, we're still managing compliance in Word documents and Excel spreadsheets that are instantly out of date the moment they are created. With the rise of the API economy, cloud, and modern development tools, the time has come for compliance to be reimagined leveraging a cultural transformation coupled with standards and tooling. During this session to learn how we can bring the principles of DevOps to Compliance in a new discipline called Regulatory Operations (RegOps).

2023 DevSecOps Info Day: Tales From the Front Lines – Delivering on The Promise

Bill Beckwith, CEO (Objective Interface Systems)

DevOps is frequently defined as "a set of practices intended to reduce the time between committing a change to a system and the change being placed into normal production, while ensuring high quality". The tools that became commonly used in DevOps to automate the system configuration required pervasive privileged system access. Unfortunately these tools did not have
the requisite security robustness to support the broad responsibilities of pervasive privileged system access. Initially, DevSecOps was an attempt to configure these tools so that the system security was not dramatically weakened by their use. Over time, many organizations redefined DEVSECOPS as the processes to ensure that the system is born with and maintains a secure configuration.

Metron delivers multi-mission performance across a wide range of mission parameters and commercial applications. Through multi-agent system integration and control, we can reduce real-time decision making processes to save time, resources and achieve mission objective results. Deep water applications require a robust AUV solution designed with modularity and fault tolerance, guided by a dynamic world model. When you can efficiently obtain modularity through the loose coupling of typical AUV tasks such as navigation, sensor processing, and interaction with platform specific hardware, then you can achieve the maximum impact for your operations. Metron has spent the past 12 years as a leader in UUV development, and DDS has enabled rapid development and deployment of our technology for underwater applications.

Commercial Resilient Underwater Autonomy Solutions Utilizing The DDS Standard

The DDS® standard is for data-centric distributed systems that enables developers to build distributed applications with real-time, highly available, secure, low latency data access and exchange. Its architecture is based on the publish/subscribe messaging paradigm, allowing applications to send and receive data without having to establish direct connections with each other. Applications can subscribe to topics published by other applications and vice versa, allowing for a wide range of data exchange scenarios, data delivery reliability and scalability. It is often used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, industrial automation, healthcare, and finance. Its distributed data communication capabilities make it well-suited for use cases such as autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, smart grids, logistics systems, and more.

Join the DDS Foundation for an informative and interactive mini-forum on the DDS® standard. Whether you're new to DDS or an experienced user, this event will provide you with updates on the DDS protocol, interoperability with other standards, use cases and more. The session concludes with a panel discussion and audience Q&A. Learn why the DDS standard has been adopted by companies such as Intel, IBM, Microsoft, Bosch, and Siemens.

So you have to be MOSA compliant? What does that mean? A Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) according to Title 10 of the U.S. Code means that a compliant system will employ a modular design and that major systems interfaces be compliant with consensus-based standards. The better question then is, how do you get started? We have developed an approach in UAF that gives system developers a leg-up to MOSA compliance at least with respect to the identification and application of consensus-based standards. It was after we created this approach that we became aware of the Domain Overlay concept work being done by the Model-Based Acquisition Working Group, and in a great sense of irony, validated our approach. This is the story of that journey, and how we see this approach being useful to our MBSE community.

For over two decades the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) has served as the bedrock on with architects have conveyed complex architectures to decision makers. Now with advisories accelerating, we must modernize our practice to communicate exponentially more complex architectures while simultaneously reducing the decision-making timeline. Industry has risen to meet this need with the development of the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF). A whole encompassing framework that combines the best parts of industry, NATO, and DoD architecture frameworks into a digital structured model. This session addressed the importance of UAF in the digital transition, the role it serves within the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), and roadmap for updates to policy and guidance.

In his Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln spoke of “government of the people, by the people and for the people.” The INCOSE Smart Cities Initiative (SCI) is proceeding along these lines to support municipal governments in considering people first in smart city efforts. This Initiative will support municipalities and public agencies in adopting Smart Cities technologies by applying systems engineering principles and tools. This Initiative will support holistic development of Smart Cities infrastructure and Concepts, Applications, Technology and Services (CATS) through an open framework. Their initial set of models and metrics focused on the people and communities to determine how a smart city can improve life for its residents. Towards that end, a modeling initiative using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) to put the human at the center of the system. The model looks at a city as an enterprise to examine the organizations, people, and communities using the human factors set of views. As a city of any size is a complex system of systems, the initial model is focused on Unhoused/Homeless People, how they interact with other organizations and people in the community, and how to improve outcomes for both them and the city. This session addresses the SCI and its goals, and then shows how MBSE can help planners understand the problem before looking for solutions.
