Object Management Group Chairs Report on Technology Processes Underway at Brussels Members Meeting
Chairs of Object
Management Group® (OMG®) Task Forces (TFs) and Special Interest
Groups (SIGs) delivered updates about their standards work during a
plenary session on the last day of the OMG quarterly membership meeting,
which took place from June 5-9 in Brussels, Belgium. OMG is
an international, open membership, not-for-profit technology standards
consortium where members develop and maintain standards that influence
the future direction of technology as well as impact industries
including space, government, finance, manufacturing, robotics and
healthcare.
The following Chairs reported on their groups' accomplishments:
-
Claude Baudoin, co-chair of the Business Modeling & Integration (BMI)
Domain Task Force and Owner and Principal Consultant at cébé IT and
Knowledge Management: "The BMI Task Force made progress toward
a plan to offer a clear and more integrated suite of modeling
specifications to users-including through appropriate connections
between BPMN™ (process modeling), CMMN™ (case modeling) and DMN™
(decision modeling)."
-
Michael Bennett, co-chair of the Finance Domain Task Force and Head of
Semantics and Standards at the EDM Council: "The Finance Domain Task
Force had presentations and discussions on the increasing role of
semantic models (called ontologies) in the financial standards space,
including practical proofs-of-concept and a workshop on the use of
semantics in blockchain and related technologies."
-
Graham Bleakley, co-chair of the Unified Architecture Framework®
(UAF®) 1.0 Finalization Task Force (FTF) and Solution Architect at
IBM (News - Alert): "The UAF FTF successfully submitted UAF 1.0 to the OMG
Architecture Board for finalization and chartered a UAF 1.1 RTF. The
group also had a series of meetings with representatives of NATO and
the NATO Architecture Capabilities Team (ACaT). The OMG received
suggestions from the NATO ACaT for the first revision of the OMG
Unified Architecture Framework. These have been entered as six issues
for the UAF 1.1 Revision Task Force. The group also held a successful
UAF information day, that was attended by members of the US and
European industry and defence community."
-
Dr. William Curtis, Executive Director of the Consortium for IT
Software Quality™: "In addition to having its Technical Debt
specification approved for finalization, CISQ™ held a successful one
day Cyber Resilience Summit, which focused on measuring and managing
software risk, security and technical debt."
-
Professor Charles E. Dickerson, Mathematical Formalism Special
Interest Group (MathSig) chair and professor of Systems Engineering at
Loughborough University: "The MathSig met with the Middleware and
Related Services (MARS) Platform Task Force to propose new profile
called ROSETTA for precise transformation between system architecture
models and detailed system design specifications."
-
Sanford Friedenthal, chair of the Systems Engineering Domain Special
Interest Group (DSIG) and Consultant at SAF Consulting: "The SysML® v2
RFP Working Group presented an overview of a comprehensive review
document containing the requirements and context for the SysML v2
requirements, with the goal of presenting the SysML v2 RFP at the next
OMG meeting in September."
-
Denis Gagné, chair of the Business Process Model & Notation Model
Interchange Working Group (BPMN MIWG) and CEO and CTO of Trisotech:
