Session descriptions
| Session | Description | Duration | Presentation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keynote: Introduction and Innovate highlights | Senior Forrester Analyst, Dave West provides insights on Agile and Collaborative ALM. In addition an IBM executive will share key video highlights from the keynote presentations during the IBM Rational Innovate 2011 Conference in Orlando. | 75 minutes | Presentation - Forrester | Presentation - IBM |
| Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices for Managing IBM WebSphere Environments with the IBM Rational Automation Framework for WebSphere | The IBM Rational Automation Framework for WebSphere is an extremely powerful framework for managing IBM WebSphere family product installations, maintenance, configuration, and application deployments. With over 775 actions, this framework provides an incredibly broad set of functionality. This presentation demonstrates various ways to effectively leverage this framework to manage IBM WebSphere environments. The scenarios include monitoring environments for configuration drift, promoting configuration across the environments that make up the software lifecycle, application deployment management between development/operations, and migration of IBM WebSphere versions. | 75 minutes | Presentation |
| Deploying Model-Based Systems Engineering with IBM Rational Rhapsody | Model-based systems engineering (MbSE) using IBM Rational Rhapsody has been successfully applied at various customer sites. This presentation gives an overview of a typical deployment engagement. First the use case-driven approach based on the IBM Rational best practices for MbSE will be outlined, covering requirements analysis, system functional analysis, and architectural design through use case realization/integrated use case realization. For the management of the underlying tasks, typical estimates of time and performance metrics are given. Presenters address the support available through the IBM Rational Rhapsody Systems Engineering Toolkit and the standardization of the chosen approach, including requirements management and change and configuration management in a customer-specific MbSE handbook. | 75 minutes | Presentation |
| Get the most out of your Rational ClearCase, ClearQuest, Synergy, and Change Investment | As a Rational ClearCase, ClearQuest, Synergy, or Change customer, you know change happens. Teams are going agile, new regulations are driving the need to govern and automate new processes, and people and projects constantly move around.
This session is for Rational Change and Configuration Management (CCM) customers to learn about:
| 75 minutes | Presentation |
| DoDAF 2.0 Overview | The DoDAF 2.0 specification presents an entirely new metamodel (the DM2) and approach to developing architectures. Data centricity; inheritance in the model; instance modeling; new capability, service, and project views; and fit-for-purpose views are amongst the major new changes introduced with DoDAF 2.0. This paper covers this new ground, telling attendees how architectures are built in DoDAF 2.0. It also describes new technologies introduced in IBM Rational System Architect 11.4 the most widely used DoDAF tool to provide direct support for DoDAF 2.0 and its DM2 metamodel. | 75 minutes | Presentation |
| Agile Planning and Development with IBM Rational Team Concert Hands-on Workshop, Parts 1 and 2 | This workshop dives into the developer and project lead roles of the Rational collaborative lifecycle management solution powered by IBM Rational Jazz. It introduces the out-of-the-box support for scrum and agile development available from IBM Rational Team Concert. A hands-on component covers all the major benefits of IBM Rational Team Concert through a scrum/agile development scenario. These include planning and project/team management, project/customer collaboration, individual planning, collaborative software configuration management, continuous integration, metrics, dashboards, and transparency. The session outlines practical considerations when implementing scrum and agile development practices such as multi-level planning, factoring risk into projects, and managing scrum of scrums (multiple teams). Attendees receive a copy of the workshop materials so they can replicate it within their companies or share it with colleagues. | Half day | Presentation |
| Introduction to IBM Rational DOORS and IBM Rational Publishing Engine Hands-on Workshop, Parts 1 and 2 | This workshop shows the principles of requirements data migration and setup in IBM Rational DOORS. The session highlights many of the best practices to achieve the best importing results and data configuration inside of the IBM Rational DOORS requirements repository. Presenters outline requirements management, which includes an overview of the concepts for review processes, traceability, and milestone management. Attendees learn how current requirements and attributes data can be published to final deliverable documents/PDF based upon company or industry standard templates directly from IBM Rational DOORS and with the IBM Rational Publishing Engine. | Half day | Presentation |
| AppScan 101 | Web application security is often an afterthought during the software development lifecycle (SDLC). The false sense of security based on phrases such as: "SSL protects the data," "vulnerability assessments are routinely run on the network," and "the firewall will cover that," don't ensure the Web application itself is secure. Two thirds of all web applications have some vulnerability. The value of making security a first-class citizen in the SDLC allows organizations to identify potential risks early in the development lifecycle were development costs are much lower, mitigate those risks based on priority, and utilize best practices to remove those risks before they enter a production environment. Discover how IBM Rational AppScan can turn "the site is safe" from a myth to reality. | 1 hour and 45 minutes | Presentation |
| Feeling Trapped? Automated Conversion of Legacy Applications: A Modernization Strategy That Works | Learn how businesses are reducing costs by minimizing or eliminating software licensing expenses, deploying to lower cost environments, and eliminating duplicate development tools and processes using IBM Rational solutions. IBM Rational Migration Extension and related services automate the conversion of legacy code and data to a modern language, development tool set, and database. Application transformation is low risk, highly maintainable, and highly flexible. This solution also increases responsiveness and time to market by reducing development time and enables reuse of proven applications. This session spotlights how other businesses have successfully migrated away from Software AG Natural/ADABAS, CA technologies, and legacy user interfaces to dramatically increase business agility, improve user productivity, and reduce costs. | 90 minutes | Presentation |
| Why Cloud Computing Matters for Development and Test | Cloud computing is more than just the latest buzzword. The combination of technologies that make up "the cloud" can dramatically improve the effectiveness and efficiency of development and test organizations. This session explains IBM Rational's view of what cloud computing is and why it matters for an organization. Presenters introduce IBM Rational's cloud-based solutions that can help whether users responsible for development, test, or deployment. They also lay out the company's vision and roadmap for the future of cloud computing. | 90 minutes | Presentation |
