Describing Architectures Using RM-ODP
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes how the RM-ODP approach for system specification is applied to the description of the IT architectures of a large Swiss bank. The IT organization of UBS AG is defining several architectures based upon a business model which describes the main objectives of the bank considering the IT requirements. The semantics and the components of each architecture are explained using the basic five viewpoints of RM-ODP. Besides the viewpoint concept it is demonstrated how the relationships among all architectures and their components can be specified from an information viewpoint. Additionally, using the General Relationship Model (GRM) has proved its benefits in order to express the semantics of those architectures.

The Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) was a joint effort by the international standards bodies ISO and ITU-T to develop a coordinating framework for the standardisation of open distributed processing (ODP). The model describes an architecture within which support of distribution, interworking, interoperability and portability can be integrated. The RM-ODP framework defines...

A goal of Open Distributed Processing (ODP) is to allow the interconnection of existing heterogeneous systems and to support the introduction of new services at run-time (to allow for system evolution). One of the greatest problems in achieving this goal is managing the heterogeneity of the environment. The Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) introduces a Type Repository fun...

This paper argues that the Reference-Model for Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) is a suitable basis for developing new standards pertaining to domain architectures, common business facilities, and common objects. However, the RM-ODP is difficult to understand, and there appears to be several divergent interpretations of it. This paper proposes and discusses an interpretation of information ...
