| Design service interfaces with industry models
Read how industry models can help architects overcome the difficult
task of defining enterprise service interfaces. Understand the need to strike
a balance between competing design principles, in particular, reuse and
loose coupling, and how the type of SOA governance model embraced by an
organization is in itself an important element to take into account for an
effective service design.

| Innovations within reach: Elastic cache beyond the Java heap with IBM eXtremeMemory
The 7.1.1 release of IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale introduces an additional in-memory model for elastic caching called IBM eXtremeMemory, which enables you to utilize the system memory outside of the Java heap as elastic cache. This allows for smaller Java heap sizes of the WebSphere eXtreme Scale containers and minimizes the effects of garbage collection pauses on transaction response times. Since eXtremeMemory is outside of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) environment, a new transport called IBM eXtremeIO was developed to facilitate fault tolerance of the eXtremeMemory elastic cache. eXtremeIO enables efficient memory to memory replication between WebSphere eXtreme Scale containers. This article provides an overview of the eXtremeMemory and eXtremeIO features.

| Design a message and service definition integration strategy based on Common Information Model standards
Users of IBM Rational Software Architect are familiar with its UML modeling capabilities, as well as its ability to transform a model into other domains, including Java, XSD, and WSDL. However, when it comes to using an energy industry information model and evolving the model into definitive message and service definitions that can be used directly in an SOA messaging infrastructure, there is very little guidance. This article describes a process and the use of Rational Software Architect extensions that use the International Electrotechnical Commission's Common Information Model (IEC CIM) to guide message and service definitions.

2: Transportation
In this series, learn about data model standards for smarter cities.
Information exchange is challenging among city agencies, regardless of city
size. The proliferation of different vendor solutions deployed across agency
and departmental boundaries is the root of the problem. The solution is
defining a common, standards-based smarter city data model that determines how
information is structured and what it represents on a semantic level. This
article focuses on the core concepts and standards that are common in the
smarter city transportation domain.

| Case study of model-based systems engineering (MBSE): Part 2. Develop data-focused processes for distributed systems analysis and design
Distributed systems are inherently data-oriented, with data entities dictating the sub-system
boundaries and specific data interaction that defines the dynamic characteristic of a system. The focus on
data entities and their behavior in distributed environments cannot be undermined. Thus the derivation of
ports and interfaces (data interactions and attributes) being a consequence of functional analysis in a
typical MBSE workflow, such as the IBM Rational Harmony systems engineering process seems an oddity in such
a case. In this article, we explore how to develop an MBSE process suited for analysis and design of
distributed systems.

| Case study of model-based systems engineering (MBSE): Part 1. The centralized systems model of IBM Rational Harmony
Modeling has been an important part of systems engineering since its inception.
During the last decade, engineers have significantly increased their use of model-based
technologies to evolve a new discipline of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). This
discipline differs from traditional systems engineering in that it emphasizes a central
system model that captures both system requirements as well as the design decisions that
fulfill them. In addition to serving as a knowledge repository for systems engineering
work artifacts, the system model can also be simulated to validate cost or performance
studies and design choices. Highly practiced MBSE processes like IBM Rational Harmony
for Systems Engineers focus on system functional analysis, which is the translation of
functional requirements into a coherent description of system operations. The system
operations are then used to derive ports and interfaces among the allocated system
architecture blocks. These interfaces form the basis of the formal hand-off among
various sub-systems.

In this installment, part 1 of this series, you will first learn about the basic functionalities of the currently available Enterprise Service Buses (ESBs). In this part 1, you will also learn about some of the difficulties in the use of the currently available ESBs. In the later installments of this series you will learn about the new concept of the Universal Ports type for ESB. Universal Ports provide solution to the many of the problems that the current users of the ESBs experience. A Universal Port works analogous to the USB port of a computer, which is to connect devices of varied kind to connect to the computer. In a similar manner a Universal Port can be used to connect to any application to the ESB and, indirectly, to the other applications. These applications may employ disparate forms of services to expose some or all of their functionality and still use a single port type.

| Solution isolation in service-oriented environments
Many IT environments are often designed and deployed in what you might call a vertical fashion. This means that each line of business has its own set of solutions, which are isolated from each other. Among other things, the concept of SOA is an attempt to establish a more horizontal view, promoting better reuse of IT functionality and operational resources across organizational boundaries. And while this is all good, of course, it requires extra care and due diligence to achieve operational excellence. This article describes some of the operational challenges introduced by this view and suggests approaches for how to address them, namely by isolating solution components from each other. Included are examples showing how this isolation can happen on many levels, either individually or in concert, all based on a set of prioritized criteria.

| Integrating Rational Software Architect with InfoSphere Data Architect
Model-driven software development generally starts with either application
modeling or data modeling. Application modeling and data modeling, however, are closely
related to and complement one another. IBM has recognized the importance of
integrating application modeling with data modeling in model-driven software
development, and has developed the Unified Modeling Language (UML)-to-logical data
model (LDM) and the LDM-to-UML transformations. These transformations integrate
application modeling using Rational Software Architect (RSA) and data modeling using
InfoSphere Data Architect (IDA). This article provides a quick overview of RSA and IDA,
outlines the high-level steps in three RSA-IDA integration scenarios, and discusses the
UML-to-LDM and the LDM-to-UML transformations and the UML logical data model profile.
