About
the Workshop
The RM-ODP standard (ISO/IEC 10746 | ITU-T Rec. X.901-X.904, Reference
Model of Open Distributed Processing) provides a comprehensive and
coherent framework of concepts for the specification of complex large
scale IT systems, and has taken on a new significance in the light of
the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) initiative from the OMG and the
wide-scale adoption of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) as well as
the emerging concepts of Enterprise Architecture. Thus, we are
witnessing major companies and organizations starting to use RM-ODP as
an effective approach for structuring their large-scale distributed IT
system specifications.
With this increase in the significance of the RM-ODP comes the need to
address a range of issues arising both from the practical application
of its concepts and from its relationship with other enterprise
architectural frameworks and methodologies.
From a practical point of view, there are issues related to the use of
the RM-ODP to achieve effective and integrated business and service
modeling, and to handle the complexity of specifying policy, security
and system management requirements of current IT systems. The
integration of disparate technologies under the same framework should
also be addressed to be able to specify large “systems of systems”.
There are also issues related to the notations required for modeling
RM-ODP viewpoints. UML is probably the natural candidate, but its use
as the language and notation of choice for ODP system modeling is not
free from problems. Besides, what is the role that Model-Driven
Software Development, and in particular MDA, can play here? Should
other modeling notations be considered, such as SysML?
Since tool support for ODP system specifications is paramount to
support the practical application of the RM-ODP framework
demonstrations of such tools are warmly welcome for presentation at the
workshop. Relevant tools include viewpoint language editors, viewpoint
correspondence management tools, model analyzers, code generators,
viewpoint model repositories, etc. The advent of the MDD and the
proliferation of modeling languages and tools have provided an
excellent environment for the development of tools for ODP system
specifications.
With regard to the relationship of the RM-ODP with other frameworks and
methodologies, there are issues concerning development methods and
processes, and current and emerging architectural approaches. How can
an approach based on the RM-ODP accommodate architectural approaches
such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), the Component-based
Architecture (CBA), and the Event Driven Architecture (EDA)? Can it
accommodate aspect-oriented development approaches? Can it be
successfully integrated into development processes such as RUP? What is
the relationship of the RM-ODP to enterprise architectural frameworks
such as TOGAF, DoDAF, Archimate?
Following the success of WODPEC 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 as a
traditional IEEE EDOC Workshop, WODPEC 2008 aims to continue to provide
a discussion forum where researchers, practitioners, system modelers,
tool developers and representatives of standardization bodies can meet
and exchange experiences, problems and ideas related to the ODP
framework for system specification, its practical application and long
term evolution, and its use in conjunction with other architectural
practices and approaches (e.g., MDA, SOA, CBA, EDA) in the realm of
Enterprise Distributed Computing.
Topics
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- RM-ODP system specifications:
- conceptual and formal foundations of the RM-ODP;
- the relationship of an ODP enterprise
specification to, and its integration with, more general business
models;
- the relationship of ODP system specification
concepts to the concepts of Enterprise Architecture;
- specification for the management of enterprise
federations;
- specification of business rules;
- specification of policy;
- specification of security and system management;
- specification for system evolution;
- the impact of developments in technology on the
ODP computational, engineering and technology languages;
- the use of ODP for specific application domains
(finance, telecomms, health care, aerospace, utility, etc.);
- identification and management of correspondences
between viewpoints;
- Use of UML:
- current issues, limitations and problems in using
UML profiles to represent ODP concepts;
- formal semantics for UML Profiles for the
representation of ODP concepts;
- definition of UML Profiles for ODP viewpoints and
for extensions and refinements of the RM-ODP for particular application
domains.
representation of viewpoint correspondences using UML;
- enablers for the industrial adoption of UML for
ODP system
specification;
- use of domain-specific or general purpose
modelling languages other than UML for ODP system specification.
- Development practices/approaches and RM-ODP:
- relationship of the RM-ODP approach to, and its
integration with, the MDA;
- relationship of the RM-ODP approach to, and its
integration with, architectural approaches such as SOA, CBA, EDA and
aspect-oriented development;
- relationship of the RM-ODP approach to, and its
integration with, development processes such as RUP;
- relationship of the RM-ODP approach to enterprise
architectural frameworks such as TOGAF or DoDAF.
- Tool support for enterprise architecture:
- requirements on supporting tools or tool chains
(currently in use or under development);
- MDD tools for ODP system specifications.
- Case studies and experiences
- examples of the application of the RM-ODP
approach to the specification of IT systems, in particular large-scale
distributed systems;
- teaching the system of RM-ODP concepts to
students, especially to graduate (experienced) students, not only in IT
but also in IS, MBA, and other programs.
Submission Guidelines and
Workshop Format
To enable lively and productive discussions submission
of a paper or a
position statement is required. All submissions will be formally peer
reviewed.
Submissions should be 4 to 8 pages long in IEEE Computer
Society format and include the author's name, affiliation and contact
details. They should be submitted by e-mail as postscript or PDF files
before 13 June 2007, to jrromero 'at' uco.es. A package with
formatting instructions and a template for Word and style files for
Latex is available here.
Authors will be notified of acceptance by 18 July 2007.
At least one author of accepted papers should participate in the
Workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library.
The duration of the Workshop is one day. The Workshop
will be divided into two main sessions (morning and afternoon). The
first session will be dedicated to the brief presentation of papers,
initial discussions, and the joint identification of specific issues
that participants consider to be of particular relevance and deserving
further joint analysis. These issues will be discussed in groups during
the afternoon, closing the Workshop with one hour wrap-up session
dedicated to drawing the Workshop's conclusions, identifying the open
issues, and outlining some future work.
