Subject: Re: [soa-rm-ra] Fwd: [ZapFlash] Understanding the Value of ReferenceArchitectures


I hope you're right about the incentive. I get referred to/from these 
guys fairly often (2-4 times over the last 3 or so years). The federal 
inter-agency community pays attention to them, but not religiously.

Cheers,
Rex

>> ZapThink. Since we can't leave a good argument behind, we're going to 
>> use this ZapFlash to explore what reference architectures are all 
>> about and what value they have to add to the Service-Oriented 
>> Architecture (SOA) story.
>>
>> *What is a Reference Architecture?*
>> One commonly accepted definition for reference architecture 
>> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_architecture> is that it 
>> provides a methodology and/or set of practices and templates that are 
>> based on the generalization of a set of successful solutions for a 
>> particular category of solutions. Reference architectures provide 
>> guidance on how to apply specific patterns and/or practices to solve 
>> particular classes of problems. In this way, it serves as a 
>> "reference" for the specific architectures that companies will 
>> implement to solve their own problems. It is never intended that a 
>> reference architecture would be implemented as-is, but rather used 
>> either as a point of comparison or as a starting point for individual 
>> companies' architectural efforts.
>>
>> Others refine the definition of reference architecture 
>> <http://wiki.oasis-open.org/soa-rm/What_Is_A_Reference_Architecture%3F> as 
>> a description of how to build a class of artifacts. These artifacts 
>> can be embodied in many forms including design patterns, 
>> methodologies, standards, metadata, and documents of all sorts. Long 
>> story short, if you need guidance on how to develop a specific 
>> architecture based on best practices or authoritative sets of 
>> potential artifacts, you should look to a reference architecture that 
>> covers the scope of the architecture that you're looking to build.
>>
>> One of the most popular examples of reference architectures in IT is 
>> the Java Platform Enterprise Edition (Java EE) architecture, which 
>> provides a layered reference architecture and templates addressing a 
>> range of technology and business issues that have guided many 
>> Java-based enterprise systems.
>>
>> *Reference Architectures vs. Architecture Frameworks*
>> While the above definition(s) may seem fairly cut and dried, there is 
>> a lot in common between the concepts of reference architectures and 
>> architecture frameworks. For some, this is where things get dicey and 
>> definitions get blurry. Architecture frameworks, such as the Zachman 
>> Framework 
>> <http://www.zachmaninternational.com/index.php/the-zachman-framework>, the 
>> Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) 
>> <http://t.ymlp38.com/mbwmavaeuqataujqhadauewmw/click.php>, 
>> and Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) 
>> <http://t.ymlp38.com/mbwjalaeuqataujqhagauewmw/click.php> provide 
>> approaches to describe and identify necessary inputs to a particular 
>> architecture as well as means to describe that architecture. If a 
>> particular architecture is a cookbook that provides guidance on how 
>> to go about solving a particular set of problems with a particular 
>> approach, an architecture framework is a book about how to write 
>> cookbooks. So, architecture frameworks give enterprise architects the 
>> tools they need to adequately describe and collect requirements, 
>> without mandating any specific architecture type. More specifically, 
>> architecture frameworks describe an example taxonomy of the kinds of 
>> architectural "views" that an architect might consider developing, 
>> and why, and provides guidelines for making the choice for developing 
>> particular views.
>>
>> This differs from the above concept of a reference architecture in 
>> that a reference architecture goes one step further by accelerating 
>> the process for a particular architecture type, helping to identify 
>> which architectural approaches will satisfy particular requirements, 
>> and figuring out what a minimally acceptable set of architectural 
>> artifacts are needed to meet the "best practices" requirements for a 
>> particular architecture. To continue our analogy with cookbooks, if 
>> an architecture framework is a book on how to write cookbooks, then a 
>> reference architecture is a book that provides guidance and best 
>> practices on how to write cookbooks focused on weight loss, for 
>> example. This would then mean that the particular architecture you 
>> develop for your organization would be a specific cookbook that 
>> provides weight-loss recipes targeted to your organization. Indeed, 
>> if you get puzzled with the definitions, replacing the term 
>> "architecture" with "cookbook" is helpful: cookbook frameworks, 
>> reference cookbooks, and your particular cookbook.
>>
>> Furthermore, most reference architectures emphasize the "template" 
>> part of the definition of a reference architecture. Both frameworks 
>> and RAs provide best practices, and while it might be argued that RAs 
>> provide more of a methodology than a framework does, RAs are still 
>> not really characterized by their methodology component. Most can be 
>> characterized by their template component, however. From this 
>> perspective, patterns are instances of templates in this context. In 
>> fact, multiple reference architectures for the same domain are 
>> allowable and quite useful. Reference architectures can be 
>> complementary providing guidance for a single architecture, such as 
>> SOA, from multiple viewpoints.
>>
>> *The Value of a SOA Reference Architecture*
>> In many ways, SOA projects are in desperate need of well-thought out 
>> reference architectures. ZapThink sees a high degree of variability 
>> in SOA projects. Some flourish and succeed while others flounder and 
>> fail. Many times the reason for failure can be traced to bad 
>> architectural practices, premature infrastructure purchasing, and 
>> inadequate governance and management. Other times the failure is 
>> primarily organizational. However, what is common in most successes 
>> is well-documented and/or communicated architectural practices and a 
>> systematic method for learning from one's mistakes and having a low 
>> cost of failure.
>>
>> Furthermore, we find that many architects spend a significant amount 
>> of their time researching, investigating, (re-)defining, 
>> contemplating, and arguing architectural decisions. In many cases, 
>> these architects are reinventing the wheel as their peers in other 
>> companies, or even the same company, have already spent that time and 
>> effort defining their own architectural practices. This extra effort 
>> is not only inefficient, but also prevents the company from learning 
>> from its own experiences and applying that knowledge for increased 
>> effectiveness.
>>
>> From this perspective, SOA reference architectures can provide some 
>> help to those struggling with their SOA efforts or thinking about 
>> launching a new one. SOA reference architectures allow organizations 
>> to learn from other architects' successes and failures and inherit 
>> proven best practices. Reference architectures can provide missing 
>> architectural information that can be provided in advance to project 
>> team members to enable consistent architectural best practices. In 
>> this way, the SOA reference architecture provides a base of assets 
>> that SOA efforts can draw from throughout the project lifecycle.
>>
>> Indeed, in order to gain the promised SOA benefits of reuse, reduced 
>> redundancy, reduced cost of integration, and increased visibility and 
>> governance, companies need to apply their SOA efforts in a consistent 
>> manner. This means more than buying and establishing some vendor's 
>> infrastructure as a corporate standard or adhering to the latest WS-* 
>> standards stack. SOA reference architectures can serve as the basis 
>> for disparate SOA efforts throughout the organization, even if they 
>> use different tools and technologies. Good SOA reference 
>> architectures provide SOA best practices and approaches in a vendor-, 
>> technology-, and standards-independent way. Therefore, don't go 
>> hunting for one from your favorite vendor of choice. In fact, if you 
>> got your SOA reference architecture from that vendor, you might want 
>> to consider dropping it in lieu of something more vendor-neutral.
>>
>> In particular, OASIS offers a SOA Reference Architecture (RA) 
>> <http://t.ymlp38.com/mbwbadaeuqaiaujqhazauewmw/click.php> that 
>> "models the abstract architectural elements for a SOA independent of 
>> the technologies, protocols, and products that are used to implement 
>> a SOA. Some sections of the RA will use common abstracted elements 
>> derived from several standards." Their approach uses the concept of 
>> "patterns" to identify different methods and approaches for 
>> implementing different parts of the architectural picture. While the 
>> OASIS SOA Reference Architecture is certainly not the only valid one 
>> on the block, it certainly makes a good starting point for those 
>> looking for a vendor-neutral SOA reference architecture on which to 
>> base their own architectural efforts.
>>
>> *The ZapThink Take*
>> Enterprise architects needs all the help they can get to make sure 
>> that they deliver reliable, agile, resilient, vendor-neutral 
>> architectures to their organization that meet the continuously 
>> changing requirements of the business. While certainly the art and 
>> practice of enterprise architecture continues to mature, companies 
>> should look to borrow as much best practices as they can and learn 
>> from others who have already gone down the EA and SOA path. If you 
>> plan to learn SOA, or any form of EA for that matter, as you go 
>> along, or even worse, from a vendor, then you risk the entire success 
>> of your SOA efforts. Rather, leverage (for free) SOA reference 
>> architectures so that you can advance at a faster pace and lower 
>> risk. Bernard of Chartres put it best in the well-known saying 
>> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_on_the_shoulders_of_giants>: 
>> "we are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see 
>> more than they, and things at a greater distance, not by virtue of 
>> any sharpness of sight on our part, or any physical distinction, but 
>> because we are carried high and raised up by their giant size." Stand 
>> on the shoulders of other enterprise architecture giants and let them 
>> increase your vision and success.

>> being presented by John Schmidt, Vice President of Global Integration 
>> Services at Informatica. John is also the Chairman of the Integration

>> The focus will be placed on the implementation of an ICC as a shared

>> introductory in nature but will have value for those that already 
>> have an established ICC and want to take it to the next level. The 
>> webinar will present practical examples for justifying business 
>> investments in shared infrastructure and for organizing chargeback 
>> models for a shared service function. These techniques are also 
>> applicable to other shared service group such as Enterprise 
>> Architecture, BI COE, or SOA COE.
