This course provides delegates with a practical hands-on experience in AutomagicKB’s approach to utilising the NGOSS SID Business Entity model to analyze and design NGOSS-styled Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Entity-centric Service Contracts. This third party approach uses the NGOSS SID to explore the requirements of a typical Service Provider to identify opportunities for utilizing new and existing business application capability. The approach uses the NGOSS SID business entity models to 'discover' the business information required to support the operation of the organization. Models are created for specific contexts from which SOA Entity-centric Business Service Candidates become evident. A fictitious company 'EveryThing Works' is used to characterize the context of the challenge.
The course is intended for those who have a basic understanding of the NGOSS framework and its reference models (particularly the SID) and are familiar with UML modeling. Delegates will leave the course understanding a methodology for making practical application of the NGOSS SID and reference models to create NGOSS-styled SOA Entity-centric Business Service Contracts. |

Cliff Faurer |
| Day: |
Thursday, November 8, 2007 (8:30am - 5:30pm) |
| Course level: |
Intermediate |
Intended for:
|
This course provides attendees with detailed examples & hands-on training in a practical methodology for using NGOSS artifacts to develop Business & System View Contracts utilizing defined Entity-centric SOA Services. This course is geared towards business analysts, enterprise and solution architects, and solution designers. |
| Pre-requisites: |
Attendees should have familiarity with UML 2 and have a good understanding of the NGOSS SID entity model. Familiarity with the eTOM process model, the TAM application map and the NGOSS lifecycle and method of problem solving are a plus. |
| Length: |
One day |
| Upon completion, delegates will be able to: |
- Leave the course with the view that using NGOSS to develop SOA Entity-centric Business Service Contracts is realistic and practical;
- Understand how to utilize the NGOSS SID Business Entity model to characterize the organizational need for information;
- Understand how to create platform-neutral models (Business & System View Contracts) that will support the auto-generation of executable artifacts (Implementation & Deployment View Contracts);
- Have confidence in using the NGOSS-styled SOA methodology by engaging in a hands-on experience through practical exercises.
|
| Agenda: |
- Overview of the TeleManagement Forum NGOSS framework;
- Overview of the AutoMagicKB NGOSS-styled SOA using MDA methodology;
- Scoping the 'Everything Works' challenge;
- Using a business-entity driven approach to refining the understanding of the 'Everything Works' challenge;
- Identifying Service Candidates from the business entity models - Entity-centric;
- Describing the business information requirements as an NGOSS Business View Contract that utilizes the SOA Service Candidates;
- Working the Service Candidates (Business View) into Service Specifications (System View);
- Specifying the system design for the organization use of the information as an NGOSS System View Contract that utilizes the SOA Services;
- Reviewing possible implementation choices for the SOA Entity-centric information access services.
