SOA RM: "...in SOA, services are the mechanism by which needs and capabilities are brought together"
Recently OASIS voted the SOA Reference Model (SOA RM) into a standard. In spite of its high level of abstraction, this model emphasizes the business orientation of SOA. This two-part article will elaborate on the business aspects of the standard. Part 1 discusses one of the possible business grounds for SOA and design-for-changes uses cases. Part 2 will describe several technical design pillars of SOA in light of the standard.
Business Agility
The SOA Reference Model (SOA RM) is the first standard that shifts SOA from a pure technical realm into the business world; you can see it right away from the SOA service description. You can wonder what "needs" and "capabilities" means; why an application in IT, which is considered to be an SOA service, becomes a mechanism; and, finally, where all the technical definitions of interfaces, clients, providers, QoS controls, etc., are. Don't worry, they're all in their places but now they have been repurposed toward business agility.
In particular, the SOA RM says: "the central focus of service-oriented architecture is the task or business function - getting something done." That is, in SOA, we're talking about a business function of the organization rather than about isolated business operations that implement the function today. The function is something the organization cannot exist without; the organization business model is the combination of such functions while the actual implementation of the function is the secondary category. Unfortunately, up 'til now, the majority of IT applications fit exactly into that category. Now SOA creates an opportunity for IT to become the business partner and perform as a function for its enterprise rather than just a support provider.
The SOA RM states that an SOA service operates in an "execution context," which is defined as a "set of technical and business elements that form a path between those with needs and those with capabilities." The standard expands the interpretation of "those with needs" and "those with capabilities"; "those" are not only IT applications and operations, they are the business elements as well, and, moreover, the business elements are first. If IT looks at its organization from the business perspective (versus operational/procedural ones), it can find that very few applications correspond directly to the core business tasks; other applications support a lot of just-this-moment operational requirements that were real years ago. If you add runtime and procedural application integration to this view, it becomes easier to see why IT has difficulties implementing and supporting frequent business changes required by the modern market.
Finally, when explaining how SOA differs from other models, the SOA RM outlines that it reflects business-motivating considerations that are expressed "within service descriptions and service interfaces." This is what SOA brings to the table the first time because a service description in the form of the service contract includes policies that "may also express business-oriented policies - such as hours of business, return policies, and so on." That is, some services in SOA elevate to the level of business entities. Now that it's more clear what "capabilities" are, we are saying that an SOA service can implement much more than the interface "API"; it's responsible for the functional and non-functional aspects, many of which might be invisible to the consumer though the service interfaces. Nonetheless, the invisible capabilities are just as important to the service consumer as the visible ones, because consumers now depend on the honest behavior of the service outside of the consumer's control. For example, your enterprise service engages a third-party service to publish your results on the Internet. Would you like to use that service if you find that it doesn't filter porn ads and they get or can get published with your data?
You are right, not every SOA service is that complex and there are a lot of simple and very useful services that IT can offer. However, the power of SOA is in the services that implement business services and, accordingly, get involved in the risks of real business life. In this article, I will go a step further and elaborate on how a business may be decomposed into elements useful for building SOA service applications, and what the IT managers and architects have to understand and deal with if they really want to modernize IT to be agile in business. That is, the article tries to position SOA as a business-centric application architecture driven by business (not by technology) and organized in a way that is oriented to support business changes, both today and tomorrow.
Business Model Decomposition
Since the SOA RM standard attempts to facilitate an enterprise technical architecture to mind real business functions, it would be worth finding out what they are. This way, one of the working assumptions we make is that every organization operates on the basis of its business model. A business model definition is still evolving; in this article, we'll use the one below:
A business model is "a conceptual tool that contains a set of elements and their relationships and allows expressing the business logic of a specific firm. It is a description of the value a company offers to one or several segments of customers and of the architecture of the firm and its network of partners for creating, marketing, and delivering this value and relationship capital, to generate profitable and sustainable revenue streams."
A business model also has instrumental and structural elements. For example, distribution channels and revenue models are instrumental elements while value configurations (the configuration of activities and resources) and core capabilities (the capabilities and competencies necessary to execute the company's business model) are structural elements. Talking about structural elements of the business model, we can recognize Business Services and Business Processes, the compositions of which constitute core capabilities. Both Business Service and Business Process have internal structures as illustrated in Figure 1 and described below.
The functional organizational decomposition of an enterprise model helps in recognizing its Business Services and Processes. Each Business Service is unique in the organization but may formally be described in the same way as other services. In particular:
A Business Service consists of at least one business unit of work, which encapsulates some business data and data processing activities. The entities of the data processing activities are different heterogeneous "things" representing additional data, applications, communication processes, human activities, information containers (e.g., a spreadsheet), and more. The business unit of work defines how a particular business task of the Business Service is implemented. The implementation is not crucial for the enterprise and is the subject of change based on solution availability (including technical ones) and market trends.
Business Service changes, in its core, are infrequent and usually reflect industry and corporate policies or corporate restructuring. Instead, the Business Service may be extended or split into several new Business Services. What can and may happen to the Business Service is defined in the enterprise business model.
A Business Process is defined in Wikipedia as:
"a collection of related structural activities that produce something of value to the organization, its stakeholders or its customers. A business process can be part of a larger, encompassing process and can include other business processes that have to be included in its method. In that context, a business process can be viewed at various levels of granularity."
In the Business Process, Business Services interact with each other according to special methods, activities, and/or rules. The interactions may be viewed as an exchange of the results (actual or logical) produced by the Business Services. That is, a Business Process consists of methods, activities, and rules for exchanging results between Business Services. Methods, activities and exchange result rules constitute the "things" the enterprise business usually changes to adapt to market needs. The richer the spectrum of changes available and the easier the changes are to do, define the market adaptability and business stability of the enterprise. SOA targets this exact area; however, without implementing Business Services (in addition to the technical services), SOA can't help in the Business Processes.
At the entrance point into a Business Service, the foreign results become new data and the Business Service's stack starts again. Sometimes, metadata transformation is needed to convert foreign result interpretation into the local one. The transformation may be done either by adding additional metadata (i.e., accepting metadata provided with the foreign results) or by replacing some or all of the foreign metadata with internal metadata - business data interpretation.
Thus, we can rephrase the goal of SOA:
Thus, SOA may be viewed as a technical architecture built around an enterprise business model, not around isolated business procedures or just-this-moment operational needs. SOA is supposed to address current and upcoming business requirements, diversity, which is limited by a particular business model. If the business model is unclear in the organization, Services and Processes, SOA won't help but rather will confuse the company a lot.
Design for Business Changes
Forrester Research states, "The reality of the digital age is that your business is embodied in your technology - you don't have a business until you have it implemented in your technology base, and your business can change only as fast as your technology can." SOA promises to make the changes faster and easier. Let's observe these changes.
Looking from the enterprise perspective, we can find three types of possible change in the business that the technology has to support:
- Changes in the business methodology of doing things (e.g., changes required by the Basel II regulations in financial credit management)
- Changes in the set of tasks performed by a business service and/or in a business process (e.g., adaptation to the market trends)
- Changes in the core of the business service, i.e., in the business model, dictated by the market dynamics (e.g., enterprise strategy change)
- Offering services that can be easily combined in different compositions
- Hiding change implementations behind the service interfaces
The second way is the IT hope of SOA. However, those who hope are usually forgetting that the changes are not free due to the cost of retesting and revalidating all the dependencies (in the Service Contracts) and the actual support for multiple service versions - not all service consumers "are in need" of the changes at once.
The following examples illustrate the third way of designing SOA services - the design for changes. This approach is based on an a priori knowledge of the business model and its potential modernization. Certainly, this way does not help in converting the service to a completely new one, but it covers the majority of other, smaller change-cases.
Access Control System
Assume we build an access control service based on roles. A user or subject in a role is permitted to operate on a resource - client's data - and perform the activities associated with or defined for the role. The role is equivalent to only one activity, e.g., "read," "write," or "edit."
Due to business responsibilities, many users may or have to perform several activities but individual role assignment demands costly operational support. The business requires reducing the cost of the access control management and maintenance.
Traditional Application-Centric Design
IT decides to simplify management and maintenance by gathering users into groups and each group is assigned multiple roles. That is, all users in the group inherit all the roles from the group. The business objective of reducing costs is reached.
In a while the market has changed and the client's data has received new internal dependencies. For some users, their duties have become conflicted with the new data dependencies and those users had to be restricted from acting in one of the roles, but they still have to perform in others.
Since a group has been designed to provide inheritance of all the roles to all group members, the only possible way to restrict a user in the role is to create another group with a reduced set of roles and put those users into a new group. It's easy to imagine that if a group has a relatively small number of associated roles (three, for example), eventually we have to create seven groups to represent all possible combinations of the roles. Considering the realistic number of different clients and original groups in the firm, this becomes a maintenance nightmare. Plus, adding a new role to the initial group increases the number of group variations almost exponentially, and the operational cost rises correspondingly.
SOA Design Style
We have started by studding the business model and found that users may be grouped (to make management cheaper) based on their business responsibilities that follow certain corporate policies. This means the grouping should be changed if user activities are in conflict with the policies. Another potential reason for the access change is a reassignment of the business responsibilities to a user. With this business knowledge, the access control service has to be designed in such a way as to accommodate access changes even if current business requirements don't say anything about it (which, actually doesn't mean there isn't any problem).
Instead of explicit role inheritance from the group to the users, each user becomes associated with a mask specified for the given group. The mask addresses all roles in the group and defines which concrete roles a particular user inherits from the group. As a default, all roles are inherited. If a user's access should be changed, the user's mask is modified and no new masks or groups are created. Plus, the modification may be based on corporate business policies. What we get is this: almost the same savings for the business but it works now and in the future.
This described case fits into SOA very well because the change may be done behind the service interface transparently for the service consumers. However, if the service has not been designed for change from the beginning, it would be too risky adding the masks later (even behind the interface) because, in case of a mistake, it could create problems with resource access for many users and negatively affect corporate business service.

Disney unveils first-of-its-kind water show
Disney California Adventure has never given visitors what one official calls "a kiss good night."
Starting Friday, guests can end their day with a splashy finale – including a bunch of smooches between animated Disney characters – projected onto a 19,000-square-foot water screen.
The theme park is premiering the "World of Color" – a massive light-and-water show that is expected to be a crucial piece of California Adventure. The "World of Color" is the biggest attraction so far to open out of a $1-billion park expansion project at the park that began three years ago.
The show will serve as the conclusion to the park's day, much like the fireworks do at Disneyland.
"It brings what Disney is all about – a big, over-the-top spectacle," said Steve Davison, show director and a Walt Disney Imagineering vice president of parades and spectaculars, after a dress rehearsal earlier this month.
Disney officials say "World of Color" is unlike any other production ever done, combining fountains, animation, lasers and flames into a 25-minute show with Disney music and characters. Read a previous story about Disney's "World of Color" details.
The equipment, which can be raised and lowered, is on a platform that is larger than a football field in Paradise Bay.
"World of Color" has about the same number of fountains – 1,200 – as the music-and-light display at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. But Disney adds animation on mist screens of classic and Pixar films and other effects.
The show is somewhat similar to Fantasmic! in Disneyland, with movies seen on mist screens. But California Adventure's largest screen is nearly eight times wider any in Fantasmic!
On Thursday, California Adventure is holding a red-carpet event to debut the show – one day before general park-goers see it for the first time.
Since the initial announcement of the attraction in 2007, fans have tracked every development and watched the installation and testing of fountains.
With the Fastpass system, visitors can get tickets guaranteeing a spot in a viewing area. On the first day, visitors who line up early outside the California Adventure gates will be led to the Fastpass machines when the park opens, said Mary Niven, vice president of Disney California Adventure.
Guests can make reservations for dining packages or order picnic boxes online to secure spaces.
There are fewer spaces than originally expected in an amphitheater area, originally meant to hold about 9,000 viewers. Now, between 4,000 and 6,000 standing people are expected to fit.
Latecomers who don't use Fastpass can watch from around the bay. Those who are behind the mist screen will see the show in reverse, Davison said.
Visitors who stand in the front rows should expect to get wet, although workers will adjust fountains depending on the weather.
"You are always going to get the spray in the front row," Davison said. "It's going to be the fun zone."
Five years ago, Disney officials came up with the idea for "World of Color." The park has drawn fewer visitors than the next-door Disneyland since opening in 2001.
"I think it will change how guests use Disney California Adventure," said Sayre Wiseman, a show producer.
About half of the final show is made up of the initial ideas, including a scene where Pocahontas rows through the water, Sayre said.
Much of the show, however, was hashed out over the past few months, or even weeks, when the fountains were done and real testing started. Even Bob Iger, the Walt Disney Co. president, weighed in on the details, including the song selection, in the final few months, according to The New York Times.
The show, which includes scenes from "Finding Nemo" and "The Little Mermaid," isn't expected to stay the same forever. New scenes can be installed quickly. The park has plans to create holiday shows. Encores may be added.
Disney officials anticipate a lot of excitement – and viewers.
"I think it's going to be kind of wild out there the first few months," Davison said.

Kander Preps for Mo. Secretary of State Takeover
JEFFERSON CITY - Missouri's next secretary of state has begun preparing to assume office in January.
Democrat Jason Kander defeated Republican Shane Schoeller last week in the race to succeed Robin Carnahan, who decided against seeking a third term.
Kander will be the only new member of Missouri's executive branch when statewide elected officials take the oaths of office in January.
One of the first jobs for Kander's transition is reviewing resumes. The transition team has asked all current employees in the secretary of state's office to indicate if they wish to remain by providing their resumes. The team says it's a common practice during a change of administration.

Self-Storage Security: Choosing the Real Deal
A few months ago the neighbor across the street from me was the victim of a middle-of-the-night break-in. His barking dog alerted him to a couple of guys in his carport, rifling through his work van. My neighbor is a repairman for a large retailer so he carries quite a few parts and tools on a regular basis.
Of course his arrival scared off the burglars, but not before they got away with a fair amount of loot. Even though my neighbor has insurance to cover the theft, the hassle is still enormous. Plus, he had to report the break-in to his superiors, whom I can only assume questioned whether their work vehicle was indeed safe in our neighborhood. The guy does have a garage, but his new mustang is parked there, leaving the work van in the carport.
The day after the break-in, he installed a very bright security light at the top of his garage. Believe me, that sucker works well. Any time a cat passes by, I get light glowing through my front window. But, hey, if it keeps a few baddies off the block then it's worth it.
While there's no denying security is a critical deterrent at every storage facility, sometimes the just perception of security is enough to ward off crime. Have a look at thisarticle on giving the "illusion" of security.
Of course, some operators are taking the word "illusion" too literarily. Last week, an ISS news item spotlighted a N.C. storage owner who employs fake cameras to keep crime at bay. The camera at the front gate is legit, but the eight devices mounted around the facility are fake. Why he told a news crew this info is beyond me. Talk about opening up a can of worms! I bet real cameras will be installed soon at this facility. Read what other operators have to say about this on this Self-Storage Talk thread.
I'm sure there are few operators who employ fake cameras. But even real cameras are not the only security solution operators should use. In the next week or so you'll receive the June edition of Inside Self-Storage magazine. Inside you'll find several articles about security, including a great primer from Sentinel Systems' David Essman. There's also information about a new device—radio frequency wireless-alert systems. Of course, you can also find these articles and dozens of others on the topic of security on our website. Just look under security on our topics page.

Pentax 1.4X Rear Converter/DA 300 for Widllife
May 18, 2014
I thought I would share some shots with the rear converter since I acquired it about 1 month ago. After having used the Tamron 1.4 X, Tamron 2.0 X, Pentax 1.7X and the Kenko 1.5 X this is my favorite TC. It has excellent build quality and IQ appears slightly better than the other I have tried. While the price is higher than the alternatives, it is great to have a TC built especially for SDM lenses. The DA*300 and the rear converter are a great match.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Extracting business value from Internet of Things (IoT) data doesn't happen overnight. There are several requirements that must be satisfied, including IoT device enablement, data analysis, real-time detection of complex events and automated orchestration of actions. Unfortunately, too many companies fall short in achieving their business goals by implementing incomplete solutions or not focusing on tangible use cases.

In politically divided Tamil Nadu, a tiny sign of changeWhen M K Stalin attended the Jayalalithaa government's swearing-in and the chief minister thanked him for the gesture, a new page was turned in the state's political lexicon, reports B Srikumar.

Nicely done.
I love the message it sends to the viewer. Person vs. Society is shown throughout the flash and shows that it is capable of breaking a person down mentally as well as controlling. Very nice flash! I enjoyed it.
So this will be life if emotions weren't allowed...
Pretty amazing.
Really loved the story and concept. Animation could have used a little work, but overall excellent.
Thanks :) This was one of the few times when I got an idea that was actually complete from the start, so I knew exactly what I wanted it to have happen. I'm still pretty terrible at frame-by-frame animation though, and I guess I tried more just to achieve atmosphere than to get all the motion smooth. Oh well.
Only presents the question, not the answer
I give this a 9 instead of a 10 because it only presents us with a question, and doesn't really show us the answer.
Parents pretend to happy to avoid depressing their kids. Teachers pretend to be angry to scare students into doing what they want.
It's all common knowledge.
The question is - Should this be stopped? And if so, how?
This animation provides us with none of the answers. Instead, the boy gets the easy way out by having some girl magically appear to comfort him.
In real life you have to take the hard way out, you have to confront the problem. You can't rely on strangers magically appearing and comforting you.
Good job on presenting the question, now we just need the answer.
All that may be true; however, that was not the purpose of the video. It was not made to answer any of those questions because, really, they can't be answered. The point was just to give the message that it's ok, you're not alone, and not all is bad.
an interesting and abstract animation

I have it, it's not fun. It's really been messing up my life. I say I only have a few good hours in me and then I hit the wall. I sneak off at work at breaks and lunch to nap, after about 15 minutes, I'm go to go again.
I have the kind where I also get temporary muscle paralysis too for about 20 seconds or so. Or I feel like I'm dreaming while I'm awake and keep taking - yesterday I was talking about diabetes and went off about the coating on the eggs, (WTF??), even as it was coming out I knew it was so wrong, lol...
I know mainstream says take stimulants, but I'm iffy on it.
I did take Ritalin one day just to see what would happen, and I was like a new person, but I didn't like the inside "jitters". Did have the best night's sleep in 20 years though, go figure.
I'm supposed to go to a Sleep Clinic but want to know other options. (No Red Bull in Canada, and I need 2 at a time).

This strange apparition, shot with my mediocre camera in practically no light, is the grilled Caesar salad at The Porter Beer Bar (404-223-0393), the latest gastropub to open in town.
Located in Little Five Points at 1156 Euclid Ave., The Porter has received a lot of attention since owner-chef Nick Rutherford and sous-chef Austin Dreier are both former employees of the defunct Seeger's, long regarded as one of the nation's best restaurants. Molly Gunn, Rutherford's fiancee and co-owner, also worked at Seeger's. Rutherford was last at the Chocolate Bar in Decatur, where he produced some of the city's most whimsical desserts.
This partial decontruction of the classic Caesar salad includes a grilled "boat" of Romaine lettuce, stuffed with white anchovies, aged Asisago and some garlicky croutons. My entree was a special of beef Stroganoff made with meatballs. It's great, slightly kinky food at low prices. And there are over 100 bottled and draft beers avaialable.
The new gastropub has been attracting capacity crowds, so you might want to go early....or late. It's open until midnight every day except Saturday night when it closes at 2 a.m. I'll have more to say in next week's Grazing column.

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

UK government to set up Cyber Reserve to boost online security defences
Under the Ministry of Defence
THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT will set up a "Cyber Reserve" to boost the UK's online defences against security threats and cyber crime.
According to the first annual update of the government's cyber security strategy, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) will run the operation and will bring in experts to support work protecting the country online.
Minister Francis Maude said in a written ministerial statement that the move was taken as the UK, which is "the most internet-based major economy", also suffers from cyber security breaches from "terrorists, fraudsters, rogue states and individual activists".
Maude, the Cabinet Office minister, said that full details of the scheme will be unveiled next year.
"Working with the private sector to improve awareness of the need for better cyber security continues to be a priority," Maude said.
"We are now focusing our efforts on making sure that the right incentives and structures are in place to change behaviour in a sustainable way."
He added that the coalition government is also looking to "move towards the establishment of a UK National Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT)", to act as a "focus point for international sharing of technical information". µ
