Problem Statement Activity Problem Statement Company «improvehealth» recently spotted a significant gap in their services landscape: Lacking an IT-Systemt which is possibly internet-based and emulates paperbased Vaccination Cards By closing this gap the company wants to allow Patients, Physicians, as well as «improvehealth» themselves to more efficiently Provide information of new vaccinations in a very targeted manner Alert patients and physicians of overdue vaccinations Capture, track and report vaccination incidents «improvehealth» has decided to launch a project called evaccine Card that is expected to assess this first ideas value as well as feasibility 10 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Problem Statement Activity Problem Statement A project (called evaccine Card project) is funded, staffed, and kickstarted in order to Investigate the business value (cost-benefit ratio) Plan, implement, and deploy an appropriate solution (optional) The project manager invites to a constitutional workshop... Business Representative Solution Architect <other groups as appropriate> Project Manager Solution Architect Business Representative 11 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Problem Statement Result Problem Statement During the initial workshop the team drafts a first version of a problem statement 12 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Analyse Stakeholders Activity Stakeholder Analysis Then the team analyzes concerned stakeholders like for example Business Sponsor Quality and Compliance Representative Security Expert Service Management and Operations Representative During stakeholder analysis the Solution Architects ensures that architecture-significant stakeholders are taken into account significance of «something» means that Business criticality of this «something» is considered high or severe Cost of change of this «something» is anticipated high Risk of this «something» is seen as high (high probability and impact) 13 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Analyse Stakeholders Result Stakeholder Analysis After intense discussions the results of the stakeholder analysis are caputed 14 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Identify Customer Needs Activity Customer Needs A few days later the «evaccine Card» team invites key stakeholders to a «needs & requirements gathering» workshop At this workshop stakeholders could raise their views of the problem at hand Informally express their thoughts, concerns, and demands Key of the workshop is not to capture all requirements in all details but to stipulate a discussion and gather a first impression of needs The Solution Architect ensures that quality aspects are sufficiently taken into account (1) stakeholders understand the impacts of needs they express to - Cost - Risks - Future evolution 15 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel (1) Often these are neglected or not adequately taken into account

Identify Customer Needs Result Customer Needs Customer needs are semi-formally captured at the end of the workshop 16 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Define Enterprise Context Context Step 1: Enterprise Context Objective Roles Understand project and envisioned solution within a company s broader Enterprise and Domain context Analyse impacts and changes to the As-Is Enterprise architecture landscapes based on envisioned solution s future shape Understand gaps, overlaps, deficiencies, strengths of As-Is Enterprise architecture context regarding Capabilities Services Processes Information Applications Technologies - Solution Architect, Business Analyst, Enterprise Architect 30 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Define Enterprise Context Context Very early in the project the «evaccine Card» Solution Architect has to Understand the anticipated solution s broader enterprise architecture (1) context Understand an organization s standards, policies, and constraints The enterprise architecture assessment is based on the EA viewpoints Business (Capabilities and Processes) Information (Information and Data Structures) Application (Applications and their functionality) Technology (Technology platforms hosting applications) Outcomes of such an assessment could for example be Something is missing and not existing today (gap) Something is available but not perfectly fitting (extension, adjustment) Something is available and perfectly fitting (reuse) Several solutions already exist (overlap potential for decomission) (1) «Enterprise» may refer to the architecture of an entire enterprise, the architecture of an 31 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel entire sub-organization, the architecture of a selected domain (e.g. Network, CRM)

Define Enterprise Context Activity During the capabilities assessment (1) the Solution Architect detects «Patient Tracking» capability is not available, yet «Physician Tracking», and «Vaccination Reporting» capabilities already exist During the application assessment the Solution Architect detects «Vaccination System», «Vaccine Reporting & Analysis System», as well as «Vaccination Marketing Material System» already exists «Patient Register», «Physician Register», or «Vaccine Card System» do not exist yet The Solution Architect performs similar assessments for Information Technology 32 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel (1) Results of the EA assessments are outlined on the following slides

Refine Principles and Requirements Context Step 2: Refine Principles and Requirements Objective Roles This step is about generating and documenting a common understanding of what is expected and possible under the given conditions, taking into account all factors driving the architecture. Describe the quality attributes of the Computer System, and the constraints that the solution must satisfy to deliver the business goals, objectives, or capabilities. Assess sizing, cost, and viability of the proposed Computer System, which is very much driven by given non-functional requirements. Crucial within this step is to differentiate those requirements that are architecture significant from the ones that are not. - Solution Architect, Business Analyst, Enterprise Architect 40 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Refine Principles and Requirements Context What happened so far A first cut of Needs & Requirements had already been captured Customer Needs 41 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Refine Principles and Requirements Context What happened so far (continued) High-level functional needs were captured in the form of SIPOCs 42 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Refine Principles and Requirements Context A SIPOCs main process steps indicate System Use Case candidates Register Patient Vaccination Alert Report Vaccination Incident Add Vaccine to an evaccine Card 43 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Refine Principles and Requirements Activity The Solution Architect creates a Use Case Overview diagram that Is based on the spotted Use Case candidates May further be based on - Needs that were captured in the «Needs & Requirements» session - Reference architectures Provides a very comprehensive overview of targeted functionality (1) Includes a list of Actors that are associated to targeted functionality Outlines dependencies that may exist among use cases Serves as a basis to conduct discussions with stakeholders in order to - Discuss and agree on completeness, correctness and relevance of functional vision - Define priorities with regards to standing up the system incrementally 44 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel (1) Use Cases express functional needs / requirements

Refine Principles and Requirements Result System UC Overview 45 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Refine Principles and Requirements Activity The Solution Architect will elaborate Use Case specific non-functional needs separately when further investigating respective Use Cases System-wide non-functional needs however must be managed as well The Solution Architects ensures that system-wide non-functional needs are Captured Discussed Prioritized Tracked & traced The Solution Architect pays attention only to those requirements (functional as well as non-functional) that are assessed as architecture significant 46 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Refine Principles and Requirements Result First sketch of significant non-functional requirements 47 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Refine Principles and Requirements Activity Requirements express what an organization wants and needs Constraints however rather express crash barriers which determine a frame within which an organization is striving to meet its own needs Constraints Express framing conditions which a solution but also a project has respect Distinguish between organizational and technical constraints Usually have an impact on solution design and approach 48 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Refine Principles and Requirements Result The «evaccine Card» team has identified the following constraints 49 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Develop Alternatives Context People, groups, whole organizations have a tendency to follow their own conditioning To break such conditioning and habits (at least counter balance them) is the key purpose of the «develop architecture alternatives» step «Many roads lead to rome» is true not just for rome but for all other problems that seek a solution 60 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Develop Alternatives Activity The «evaccine Card» team meets in order to develop alternative architecture approaches to creating the required solution The team uses the following quite helpful technique to systematically develop solution alternatives 1. Draw a topological sketch of the envisioned system s building blocks 2. Traverse all building blocks and determine dimensions that span alternatives - WHAT Vertical (data center, devices, communication stack, application middleware, app,..) Horizontal (break-down of components, alternative COTS products,..) Black-boxedness (build, buy and assemble, hybrid) - WHO Differentiation of Actors Plan ownership (internal, strategic partner,..)

Elaborate System Context Context Step 5: Elaborate System Context Objective Roles This step describes the solution as a whole and from a black-box perspective by capturing its highest level solution structures as well as relationships which exist between these and external entities crossing the given system s boundaries. To provide an overview of interfaces to be considered in the solution design. To verify that the information flows between the system and its external factors (i.e. external systems and actors) are in alignment with the external system owners expectations and commitments. To communicate at a high level the system boundaries to respective stakeholder groups. - Solution Architect, Business Analyst, Enterprise Architect 82 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate System Context Context Alternative «profecard» The «profecard» system is put onto a test bench thus system documentation is carefully studied As a first step the profecard system s context is investigated in detail Further input is taken from the Enterprise Context 83 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate System Context Activity A System Context represents the entire system under design as a single element System Context identifies the information and control flows that cross the system boundary from / to from external entities (e.g. human actors, external systems) The System Context highlights important aspects of the system such as: External events to which the system must respond. Events the system generates and that affect external entities. Data that the system receives from external systems Data produced by the system and provided to external systems 84 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate Vision Context Step 6: Elaborate Vision Objective Roles Where the System Context provides a black box view on the system(s) in scope of the solution, the Vision provides a very highlevel first white box view on it. Primary focus of this step is to provide the Architect a handy tool for communicating with a broad variety of different stakeholder groups. The Vision viewpoint combines multiple aspects which are captured in a more focussed fashion throughout the following steps. Be able to communicate a comprehensive overview of the envisioned architecture s future shape, its advantages, functional coverage, implications, and consequences to different stakeholder groups. - Solution Architect 92 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate Vision Context Alternative «profecard» The system context shows profecard from a black-box point of view As a next step the evaccine Card Solution Architect sketches an overview of the envisioned solution s... corner stone elements ( different types can be shown since purpose is to provide a one-glance overview rather than a distinct viewpoint, only) relationships among these corner stone pillars of profecard An Overview Diagram might already include Candidate Subsystems Components Nodes Connections Data Stores Users External Systems 93 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate Application Context Step 7: Elaborate Application Objective Roles In this step the architect develops a model, which depicts the solution s core functional building blocks (i.e. Application Components) as well as their inter-dependencies. Beyond the solution s functional decomposition, this step also elaborates the realization of use cases which were captured by use case descriptions in the functional requirements step. Identify potential or final Application Components that will be responsible to provide the required functionality. Outline the relationships that exist between Application Components. - Solution Architect 99 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate Application Context This step includes a description of the Computer System s Functional elements Their main responsibilities Their interfaces and primary interactions among themselves The Application is described based on Functional Structure Model (modeling static aspects) Functional Behavior Model (modeling dynamic/collaborative aspects) First orientation for stakeholders regarding functional scope functional decomposition functional cooperation and interaction Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel 100

Refine Principles and Requirements Context Step 2: Refine Principles and Requirements Objective Roles This step is about generating and documenting a common understanding of what is expected and possible under the given conditions, taking into account all factors driving the architecture. Describe the quality attributes of the Computer System, and the constraints that the solution must satisfy to deliver the business goals, objectives, or capabilities. Assess sizing, cost, and viability of the proposed Computer System, which is very much driven by given non-functional requirements. Crucial within this step is to differentiate those requirements that are architecture significant from the ones that are not. - Solution Architect, Business Analyst, Enterprise Architect 158 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Refine Principles and Requirements Context Two additional requirements were brought up during iteration #1 Requirement 1 - Patients and physicians who self-register are to be semi-automatically provisioned to improvehealth s Identity system. - Manual approval of requested registration is required by Actor «Maintainer» Requirement 2 - The solution is to be set-up in such a way that it can be rolled-out / adopted / scaledup to other business units of the improvehealth enterprise - This is important since several of improvehalth s business units maintain a notion of a patient-centric «passport» - This requirement indicates that there is a set of common need-characteristics across all business units as well as a set of business unit specific needs and that profecard has to be set-up and configured to be able to cope with both: Common business unit needs Specific business unit needs 159 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Refine Principles and Requirements Result Updated significant non-functional requirements 160 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Refine Principles and Requirements Context An important consideration that Requirement 2 brought up Can be dealt with by a COTS system via - Multi-tenancy capability of the COTS system - Alternatively: by an architecture approach where the COTS system (which is not multi-tenancy capable) is surrounded by solution structures that allow the coresystem (COTS) to be cloned multiple times while always being connected to a single back-end broker. This helps avoid cloning everything that the overall system has in common. Fundamental structures are only built-out once and can then be re-used by each cloned/deployed COTS system instance Will be further looked at throughout the next steps 161 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate System Context Context Step 5: Elaborate System Context Objective Roles This step describes the solution as a whole and from a black-box perspective by capturing its highest level solution structures as well as relationships which exist between these and external entities crossing the given system s boundaries. To provide an overview of interfaces to be considered in the solution design. To verify that the information flows between the system and its external factors (i.e. external systems and actors) are in alignment with the external system owners expectations and commitments. To communicate at a high level the system boundaries to respective stakeholder groups. - Solution Architect, Business Analyst, Enterprise Architect 165 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate System Context Context The e-vaccination Card team elaborates the System Context further based on this recently added requirement profecard s documentation clarified that the system is not multitenancy capable Therefore the team decides to complement the overall approach by additional solution structures 166 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate Application Context Step 7: Elaborate Application Objective Roles In this step the architect develops a model, which depicts the solution s core functional building blocks (i.e. Application Components) as well as their inter-dependencies. Beyond the solution s functional decomposition, this step also elaborates the realization of use cases which were captured by use case descriptions in the functional requirements step. Identify potential or final Application Components that will be responsible to provide the required functionality. Outline the relationships that exist between Application Components. - Solution Architect 174 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate Application Context In order to elaborate on the multi-tenancy capability first, the team Wants to understand application architecture implications of an addtional component («multi-tenancy broker» as per the System Context) better And therefore decides to investigate an appropriate brokerage scenario 175 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate Application Context This step helped clarify «Multi-Tenancy Broker» responsibilities and lead to the following conclusions «multi-tenancy broker» shall be made part of the e-vaccination Card system s scope This means it is again taken out of the System Context (will be updated later) Decision was taken due to the fact that «Multi-Tenancy Broker»... - Enables key non-functional capabilities (e.g. reusability) of e-vaccination Card - Makes e-vaccination Card a lot more generic 176 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate Data Context The introduction of «Multi-Tenancy Broker» has an impact to the Data viewpoint There are several questions that this introduction raises: Onto which system will this information be placed? Who will own and maintain this information? Since this information drives the fundamental architecture of e-vaccination Card: how does the team cope with this from a security and compliance perspective? 183 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate Technology Context Step 9: Elaborate Technology Objective Roles Where the Application describes a solution s key functional building blocks (aka: Application Components) and their interconnections, the Technology elaborates the Application Components operational underpinnings. With the Technology an Architect creates a model of System Components and their respective inter-connections.

Elaborate Technology Context Multi-tenancy Broker as it is introduced conceptually as well as to the Application and Data raises two questions here Which technology component can be used to cover the need to maintain the «business unit name bind target» information Which technology component will underpin the application component «multi-tenancy broker»? The separation of infrastructure underpinnings of.. Multi-Tenancy Broker And the remaining proportions of e-vaccination Card (i.e. profecard)... makes a lot of sense, since «Multi-Tenancy Broker» will exist only once for all clones / instances of the profecard system 189 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate Technology Context Furthermore the team wants to zoom into more detail around the development environment s design of the e-vaccination Card system profecard documentation is consulted in order to determine required ITinfrastructure underpinnings among these are: X86 / WinServer7 vsphere Virtual Servers CISCO HW LoadBalancers SSL accelerator cards (recommended) Also attention is paid to standards-conformance regarding improvehealth s technology standards vcenter needs to be consumed via improvehealth s VBlock (1) service (1) VBlock is an applicance which provides an integrated platform comprised of.. - hypervisor (vsphere) - Network - Storage (SAN) 190 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate Technology Context Reflecting back on iteration #1 Technology the team realizes that not all technology architecture layers are covered, yet What s covered so far is this technology architecture layer: - Application infrastructure / middleware These components, for example, are not yet covered: - X86 / WinServer7 - vsphere Virtual Servers 191 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate Technology Context Technology covers a broad variety of technical systems where these systems are often categorized by the notion of vertically stacked layers (i.e. layered system) A coarse grained notion of this is introduced by the view model used Application infrastructure IT-infrastructure 192 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel

Elaborate Security Perspective Case Study For each cross-cutting perspective the given chapter s key concern (e.g. Security) is elaborated across all relevant core views: -Application -Data -Technology For each of the core views only those building blocks are elaborated in detailed which are considered crucual from an architecture perspective. This allows, for example a Security Architect, to exclusively focus on those building blocks that the given solution s Security is comprised of while ignoring others. Architecting Security and other crosscutting concerns requires an Architect to work these out in an integrated (and cross-core-view) fashion. Beyond sketching, and observing these components across the core views, an Architect will also depict and describe how these components collaborate in order to realize specific scenarios 297 Department of Computer Sciences University of Basel
