  3. Agenda • Costaisa Overview • A long journey to modernization • Prior attempts. • AMC (Arquitectura Marco de Costaisa) • Description • Building Blocks • The role of EGL in detail / Demo • Roadmap • Summary

  4. Costaisa Overview • From 1968 an IT consulting firm…. • Developing software • Integral outsourcing • From IBM 360 to zSeries • Specialized in the IBM Mainframe Area (VM, VSE, z-LINUX, etc.) • Specialized in the Insurance and healthcare business domain. • Main outsourcer for a national Healthcare organization in Spain (5000 users, 200 facilities: hospital, primary care, etc.) • Around 230 FT employees.

  5. Costaisa Overview - Technology • Look at IBM’s history + other mainframe providers • Persistence • VSAM (5%) • DL/I (15%) • DB2 (VSE & UDB) (20%) • DOMINO (5%) • ADABAS C from Software AG (50%) • Other (ms-sql..) 5%

  6. Costaisa Overview • Language / Development IDE • Assembler 370 • COBOL (PACBASE, CICS, BATCH) • Natural , predict case (from software AG) • Visual Basic 6, .Net, ms-VFoxpro • Domino / Notes • J2EE (EJB 2, jsp) • Environment • Z-Mainframe (VSE, VM) • Z-linux • Wintel (w2k, vmware, citrix)

  7. Costaisa Overview - Samples

  8. Prior Attempts in App. Modernization • Conversion projects • Natural to Java • Fail • Case tools (for j2ee) • Versata (pseudo case tool) • Poor customization • Proprietary solution • No evolution • J2EE • 1 project in production • Very expensive • No trained people • Complexity

  9. AMC Arquitectura Marco de Costaisa“toward the Software Factory” • Software Factory / Product Lines • AMC: Building blocks • AMCGen: Development Process • Based on controlled IBM tooling (AMCDev) • Generated artifacts based on AMCBase architecture • AMCBase: EGL Business Components • AMCLib: Infrastructure Services and Components

  10. Legacy IT House vs Web2.0 • UML, XML,Relational DB, EGL, SOA, J2EE, Portal, HTTP, HTML, Javascript, CSS, Web2.0,… • Legacy IT House Where is the ball? Am I reinventing the wheel? Who is who? Every project is similar Everyone knows its place

  11. The Paradigm Shift • For several decades, the software industry has created software systems to support the needs of its customers, but... • Despite all that experience, however, quality and productivity are not improving quickly. • We realize about the same level of productivity today as we did 10 years agoStandish group • Confront a group of developers or project managers, and ask them if they think they are successful in building software today. • They almost always tend to laugh a little • Few teams regularly reuse solutions created in the past • We can see that we have a predictable problem on every new project

  12. Software Factory /Product Line Software asset inputs: a collection of software assets – such as requirements, source code components, test cases, architecture, and documentation – that can be configured and composed in different ways to create all of the products in a product line Decision model and product decisions: The decision model describes optional and variable features for the products in the product line. Each product in the product line is uniquely defined by its product decisions - choices for each of the optional and variable features in the decision model. Production mechanism and process: the means for composing and configuring products from the software asset inputs. Product decisions are used during production to determine which software asset inputs to use and how to configure the variation points within those assets. Software product outputs: the collection of all products that can be produced for the product line. The scope of the product line is determined by the set of software product outputs that can be produced from the software assets and decision model.

  13. AMCLib AMCBase Related to components and utility libraries with specific function: reporting, xml processing, etc. Related to the access to the framework: documentation, guidelines, change management, components, etc. Related to resources for visual design: stylesheets, layouts, etc. AMC: COSTAISA’s Framework Architecture AMCForge AMCGen AMCDev AMCGui AMCOp Presentation Business Persistence Integration Related to AMC kernel: architectural framework based in EGL AMCInfra Related to the control and monitoring of production AMC’s based application Related to the MDA development: Uml profile, plug-in, ant extension, template customization, etc. Related to IDE (Rational Business Developer) + all supporting tooling: configuration, continuous integration, etc. Related to the deployment of AMC applications

  45. Summary • RBD (egl) • Productive, easier than Java J2EE • Your “legacy” people will be grateful • Don’t worry about how will be j2ee in the future (IBM will do for you) • But.. • You must invest in a software factory framework (or adopt one as AMC). • Invest on adapting tooling for MDA (RSM, RDA) and you will have EGL3.

  46. COSTAISA AMC, How can we help you? • There are a variety of approaches for transitioning to, or adopting, a new software product line approach , but we recommend… • Use an incremental transition strategy • Lifecycle strategy, product strategy, subsytem, people. • Create a Pilot as a catalyst for change • The pilot helps to build momentum by demonstrating to managers and engineers a practical, operational example of software product line practice and the tangible benefits it delivers. • Choose an expert to help define your best approach for getting started (and become one) • By leveraging our technology, pragmatic methods and proven expertise you can reduce your effort transition. • Combining the right tooling (IBM) and an intense, accelerated, hands-on program that brings leading-edge software product line development methods, knowledge and experience into your organization (AMC).
