Program Guideibm.com/innovate
On behalf of the IBM Rational team, I want to personally thank you for joining us for our most important client event of the
year. Innovate provides you with an excellent opportunity to network and share ideas with thousands of your peers, meet
industry experts, and learn more about the IBM solutions that are helping us all build a Smarter Planet.
Innovate 2012 is where you can discover what’s NEXT in software technology, development methodologies, and industry
trends from IBM as well as client thought leaders and practitioners. You’ll also learn how IBM and our partners are going
to help you get there NOW. IBM will share the stage with clients, business partners, and your peers, all of whom will show
how software and systems innovation creates new business opportunities. You’ll see how improved development and
delivery methods help you achieve desired business outcomes, execute with reduced risk and cost, and accelerate the
pace of software and systems delivery. With the proliferation of mobile devices, the consumerization of IT, and the growth
of cloud computing, NOW is the time for enterprises to integrate every aspect of the software and systems life cycle.
Value creation in almost every industry is shifting towards software, and your role in software innovation has never been
more critical. As software and systems professionals, you are building a future that is increasingly reliant on software as the
heart of interconnected and intelligent products and services. I sincerely believe that, at Innovate 2012, you will learn new
and better ways to integrate your processes and deliver the software innovations of tomorrow with the help of our solutions.
More than ever, Innovate 2012 is built around your needs and interests. It is more focused, streamlined, and interactive
than ever before. We have added new elements to the conference such as ScrumMaster® Training, The Innovate Race Car
Challenge and the WebSphere Developer Jam; and, by popular demand, we’ve brought back more interactive sessions,
like Birds-of-a-Feather. We have assembled a strong educational curriculum with a set of new tracks including Agile
Transformation, Cloud Development & Deployment, Mobile Application Development, Direct from the Jazz Developers,
Rational Genius and Packaged Applications. And we could not have done it without you. In fact more than 150 of our
sessions are delivered by you and your peers. Innovate 2012 is itself a true example of how integration, collaboration, and
optimization help drive innovation.
It is a pleasure to have you here and I’m con dent you’ll nd Innovate 2012 a valuable experience. I look forward to seeing
you at the opening keynote session, Monday, June 4th at 8:00am, ET.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kristof Kloeckner

Introducing IBM Champions! For a second year, Rational software selected awardees
for the IBM Champion program. These champions are
non-IBMers who influence and mentor others to help drive
the best use of IBM software, solutions, and services.
IBM Champions are IT professionals, business leaders,
developers, or educators who go above and beyond to:
1) share their knowledge and expertise, 2) evangelize IBM
solutions and 3) grow the community of people focused on
IBM solutions.
Become an IBM Champion
IBM Champion online nominations for Rational open
in January. An IBM panel evaluates each nominee’s
contributions over the past 12 months, considering
factors such as community impact, expertise, and the
quality, quantity, and scope of their contributions. Existing
Champions are eligible to renew their status if they have
made significant contributions to the community over the
previous 12 months. We will announce the next set of
champions in March 2013.
Why be an IBM Champion?
In addition to being rewarded with IBM Champion
merchandise, champions are highlighted and recognized
online and at live events. They receive invitations and
discounts to IBM conferences and are granted access to
key IBM business executives and technical leaders to
share their opinions, learn about strategic plans, and ask
questions. In addition, they may be offered various speaking
opportunities that enable them to raise their visibility and
sphere of influence.
Get to Know the Champions!
As you engage with conference attendees this week, please
notice those with a blue “IBM Champion” ribbon affixed
to their conference badge. These are the “go-to” folks for
IBM Rational software and solutions and will be able to
help you navigate the conference schedule, get involved in
the community, and connect with the right influencers or
technical leaders.
Learn more about the IBM Champion program and how
you can nominate yourself or someone else. http://ibm.co/

Going Green!IBM Rational is teaming together with the Walt Disney World
Swan and Dolphin Resort to implement a variety of “Green”
initiatives during Innovate 2012. During your stay and
throughout the conference, you will notice we have taken
many steps to reduce paper and utilize recycled materials as
well as conserve water, reduce waste and encourage energy
efficiency. Some of the changes we’ve made to promote
these “Green” efforts include:
Paper Reduction—Online Schedule Building: In
an effort to reduce paper, we encourage all conference
attendees to utilize the online session schedule builder
available at the conference kiosks to preview sessions
to determine which sessions are of interest. Printers
are available for printing personalized schedules (and
recycled paper is utilized), but we encourage attendees
make notes in their copy of the conference guide or
personal notebooks to reduce paper waste.
Post-Conference url for Technical Session
Presentations: An additional effort to reduce the amount
of paper utilized at the conference is creating a post-
conference url versus printing handouts of conference
presentations.

Consultant
As an agile coach supporting organizations with varying
levels of maturity with agile practice adoption, it is often
necessary to adjust the implementation methodology to
fit a client’s business environment. While studies on the
adoption rate of agile development vary, by-and-large these
studies are trending upward in most IT sectors. As larger
organizations with well-established waterfall solution delivery
lifecycle move toward agile software development, it is
imperative that the approach is broadened and does not
simply rely on any single set of practices, such as scrum, to
meet the organizational and cultural challenges, which these
organizations often possess. In this session, presenters share
experiences with regards to some of essential principles,
practices, and skills that scrum masters, project managers,
and other software professionals need to help teams
transform so they can deliver the highest business value
possible faster with higher quality and customer satisfaction.

Mythbusters: A new Data Warehouse can’t be delivered
with Agile? Busted, Plausible or Confirmed?
Elizabeth Parnell, Manager, Product Deliver, Blue Cross Blue
Shield of North Carolina; Ken France, Managing Partner,
Blue Mercury Consulting
There are lots of myths out there about Agile. One of these
myths is that you can’t build a new Data Warehouse using
Agile -- it just won’t work. Join the combined team from a
large Health Care organization and an Agile consulting firm
(Blue Mercury Consulting) as they attempt to bust the myth
by building out a brand new enterprise warehouse in record
time, using Agile methodologies and Rational Team Concert.
And, just to add in a layer of complexity, see it done with a
globally distributed team. Follow their trials, tribulations and
triumphs, learn from their mistakes, and finally, decide if

Agile Transformation
Many companies are adopting Agile practices (or thinking about it). Whether you’re part of a small
or pilot team taking your first steps towards Agile adoption or if you’re part of a larger team that is
looking to scale their Agile success, the road to Agile transformation can be a rocky one. Questions
inevitably emerge such as: Which Agile methodology should we embrace? How will Agile practices
affect our existing team culture? What criteria should we use to measure our Agile projects? What
tooling do we need to effectively implement an Agile process? How do traditional Agile practices
need to be modified to address the complexities of our environment? This track will cover the
spectrum of the Agile journey, including tips for successful Agile adoption, “tales from the trenches”
of teams who have learned from their early failures and have found their way to greater agility, and
practical guidance on how to effectively scale Agile in complex environments.

Seven Habits of Highly Effective Agile Teams
Richard Knaster, IBM, WW Practice Manager, Agile & RTC
Agile teams are highly effective when individuals can make a
paradigm shift in their thinking and can adopt the agile values
and principles. The next stage to becoming a highly effective
team is to make habits of the right set of agile practices to
employ just enough rules to support autonomy while avoiding
chaos, establishing a rhythm to maintain momentum and
synchronize efforts, act supportively and transparently to
cultivate trust and respect, and exchange ideas to realize the
benefits of diverse skills. Since there are no set standards
for agile, what exactly are those practices that are essential
for teams to thrive? Come learn these habits and share with
other like minded agile enthusiasts.

How could an agile adoption go wrong? We will count the
ways. Starting with building the wrong thing all the way to
building the thing wrong, we will look at ways that large
companies have struggled with agile. But we won’t stop
there—we will also look at ways to identify and avoid the
most common land mines of agile development, and feature
a few companies which have had highly successful agile
adoption programs.

Agility to Grow: From Small Teams to
Enterprise-Wide Adoption
Scott Ambler, IBM Rational, Chief Methodologist for IT;
Scott Rich, IBM, Distinguished Engineer, Technical Lead for
Rational CLM
Many organizations are struggling to adopt agile beyond
a few teams. For these enterprises, implementing agile
across the enterprise and reaping the benefits is still
very challenging. Geographical distribution, large teams,
compliance, and entrenched waterfall organizational
culture quickly diminish the benefits of adopting agile
and the organization quickly reverts back to its old ways.
Agility across the enterprise doesn’t happen overnight.
The Agility2Grow strategy helps organizations take bite
size chunks of organization change within the context of a
proven framework, taking into account the unique needs of
organizations and teams, This session shares the lessons
learned from IBM’s Agile journey and from key customers to
help agile adoption succeed and stick.

How to Be Successful with Agile at Enterprise Scale:
Experiences in a Large Retail Organization
Jesus Hernando, El Corte Ingles, Head of IT Department;
Jose Ordax Cassa, IBM, Technical Professional; Alan W.
Brown, IBM, CTO for Europe
There are many pressures on software delivery organizations
to produce more software faster in the context of extreme
cost pressure and growing globalization of the software
delivery organization. How can these pressures be
addressed while maintaining software delivery quality and
productivity? This presentation explores the changes in
software delivery models that have taken place in recent
years, and the ways in which overall software delivery quality
can be managed in the current environment. In particular,
presenters discuss specific real-world experiences in a large
retail organization that has achieved significant improvements
in software quality and productivity when adopting more agile
practices. Presenters conclude with a set of best practices
for adopting “agile at scale” that can be applied to an
organization to provide measured improvements in software

At Innovate 2011, a large health insurance company showed
how it saved $2 million by adopting agile practices, some
good coaching, and IBM® Rational Team Concert™ on three
different large, highly visible projects. The next step was to
scale the adoption. But how does a company scale agile
and still repeat earlier successes? How must IBM Rational
Team Concert be modified to support this effort? How does
a company handle distributed teams? Scaling does not just
mean adopting more independent scrum teams, it must
include the interdependencies and cross an entire business
unit. Learn how multiple inter-dependent agile scrum teams
worked together to do just that. Find out how tweaking
the management model made this successful. See why
incorporating a scrum of scrum technique, IBM Rational

Agility@Scale: IBM’s Journey of Agile Transformation
Mike O’Rourke, IBM, Vice President,
Strategy and Product Delivery
Many large organizations want to adopt agile development
methodologies as a means of delivering software to
customers and internal stakeholders more quickly and
efficiently in “bite-sized” increments. However, large projects
can pose significant challenges to agility. IBM Software
Group, with almost 30,000 engineers in 84 locations,
started its agile transformation in 2006. While this journey
continues today, extensive improvements in quality, time-to-
market, and customer satisfaction show that the rewards
of agile adoption far outweigh the obstacles. IBM learned
that a haphazard implementation of agile may result in more
frequent development “turns,” but can also fail to deliver true
business benefits. In effect, the wrong agile implementation
may just mean that bad code is being released to market
faster than before.

Achieving Better Requirements on Agile Projects:
User Stories and Beyond
Kurt Solarte, IBM, Sr. Managing Consultant;
Bhawana V. Gupta, IBM, Rational Brand Architect;
Cherifa Mansoura, IBM, Solution Architect, IBM Rational
Worldwide Solution Delivery
Agile development has emerged recently. Much of the rise
has to do with the failing of other methodologies like the
waterfall model and the bureaucracies in implementing
other prescribed methodologies. The principles of the agile
movement strive to match business needs with development
realities and reduce waste as much as possible: Detailing
requirements is something teams do even in an agile world
but when and how makes the difference from a traditional
requirement definition and management (RDM) process.
One of the challenges of agile projects is ensuring that the
requirements remain “agile.” While requirements are not
necessarily neglected on agile projects, this may erroneously
take a waterfall approach to requirements. This session
outlines reasons why RDM is critical to success in agile
development and discusses eight habits that agile teams
should adopt for highly effective requirements definition
and management.

Disciplined Agile Delivery – Adoption in the Trenches
★ Mark Lines, UPMentors, Co-founder
Mainstream agile methods suggest that agile projects
have small, collocated, and self-sufficient teams. However,
research shows that in reality, agile teams seldom work in
such idealistic circumstances. This session features a light-
hearted look at the agile rhetoric versus reality. Need to know
how to be agile in a world of program management offices,
database groups, maintenance groups, development/
operations, distributed, offshore, and other things not
covered by the 16-page “scrum guide”? In this session, see
concrete examples of organizational and cultural challenges
from experiences with large-scale agile adoption and how
these barriers were overcome. Learn how IBM’s disciplined
agile delivery (DAD) process framework takes mainstream
agile methods to the next level and provides guidance for
effectively being agile in enterprise environments.

Driving Agile Practices Maturity Through IBM® Rational
Team Concert™ Agile Coaching Index
Jonathan Walsh, INTEL, Engineering Manager; Raj
Anantharaman, Intel India Tech Private Limited, Engineering
Manager; Tim Gallagher, Intel, Manager; Marcin Neyman,
Intel, SW Manager
While adoption rates of agile practices are increasing, not all
teams that adopt agile may be implementing them correctly
without the guidance of a coach (“scrum-but”) and hence
fail to accrue all benefits of agile. This has been true at Intel.
While recruiting agile coaches to overcome this challenge
is one option, it is not scalable. Instead, Intel leveraged
IBM® Rational Team Concert™, which was fast growing in
adoption, and implemented the agile coaching index (ACI).
Intel identified 37 points of goodness (PoGs) and developed
an automated mechanism to measure the hygiene of agile
practices and scored the teams against the PoGs. Teams
get weekly feedbacks of PoGs, and then use this feedback
to drive continuous improvement. Teams can also set their
own goals against the PoGs and see how they compare
to others. While ACI is not a replacement for a coach, it is
proving to be very effective in improving the basic hygiene
of Intel’s agile practices.

The Death of Innovation in a Typical Agile Environment
Elizabeth Woodward, IBM, Senior Software Consultant
Teams using scrum, currently the most widely-used agile
development framework, focus on turning a section of
a project backlog into a releasable increment of work
within fixed time boxes of less than a month. Their work is
done at a sustainable pace so that the team can continue
the delivery process indefinitely. Unfortunately, it is quite
common for teams to become so engaged in delivering
value for the current iteration that they, at best, deliver
incremental innovations that apply only to their immediate
work efforts. Little time and focus are left for the team to
develop transformational insight and breakthroughs that
are known to provide the greater return on innovation
investment. This session focuses on the urgency of
innovation, aspects of agile known to suppress innovation,
approaches to innovation, and tips for driving innovation in
agile environments.

Typical Agile Failure Points and How to Avoid Them
Mark Speich, Ascendant Technology, Director of the PMO
Becoming agile for most software project teams requires a
significant change in how they operate. While in theory, agile
theory and practice are the same; in practice, they often
are not. Going through this transformation can be difficult
and tricky, especially if certain scaling factors are in play that
increase complexity. This presentation discusses typical agile
failure points, the negative ramifications if they occur, and
practical ways to avoid or mitigate them.

Transforming organizations to deliver software development
projects better, faster, and cheaper is the rallying cry from
CIOs in most industries. The agile movement has taken on
this challenge and has the characteristics to improve the
quality of projects (better), deliver “must have” functionality
in a timely fashion (faster), by spending less capital (cheaper).
But many teams often fail to incorporate a strategy to identify,
collect, and communicate the value delivered by their
agile pilots.

Putting the “Integration” into Continuous Integration
with Green Hat
Monica Luke, IBM, CLM Strategic Offerings Lead
An organization may have adopted agile, committed to
“continuous build,” and run unit tests. But what happens
when an organization brings the system together for real
system testing? What is the level of quality and does it take a
team days, weeks, maybe months to get a working system?
Does it turn out that unit tests are superficial or insufficient?
Real continuous integration requires early and ongoing
complex integration testing. Oftentimes organizations skip
that testing on their daily or nightly builds because it is too
hard, time consuming, or hardware and third-party resources
are not available. By virtualizing stable components of a
complex system, organizations can reduce complexity
sufficiently to do integration testing on every team
integration build.

Integrated System and Software Engineering
Tool Suite: An Evaluation of a Cloud and IBM®
Rational® Tools
In this day of declining defense budgets and increased
competition, an efficient platform for developing proposals
and small projects is critical. Lockheed Martin MS2 and IBM
co-defined the requirements for the platform. It needs to be
easy to use, maintain, and deploy to accomplish the systems
and software development lifecycle. One of the challenged
requirements is that various team members at different
locations on different networks must be able to evaluate
the platform. A suggested prototype is to establish the
platform as a cloud image. The cloud image allows different
evaluators to access the tools on the platform and to try the
workflows. Moreover, it allows the team to experiment with
different combinations of tools and workflows to determine
the affordable and appropriate tool mix.

Organizations recognize all the reasons they should move to
the cloud for their application development and deployments,
but are uncertain whether today’s standardized one-size-
fits-all cloud offerings can ensure the integrity and success
of their businesses. The emergence of cloud platforms,
which encompass a wide range of integrated application
development and deployment services, provides a reliable
foundation for organizations to achieve the improved
economics and speed expected from using cloud, while still
maintaining the ability to deliver competitive differentiation
at the application layer. Success begins with selecting the
proper cloud platform—one based on technologies that
ensure portability and interoperability across both public and
private delivery models, one that enables adoption based
on unique needs, and one that evolves to drive long-term
business momentum.

Transforming and Accelerating Client Evaluations of
IBM® Rational® Products Using Cloud
Ian Barnard, IBM, Rational WW Cloud Enablement Lead and
Manager, Rational Demonstration Cloud
When buying IBM® Rational® software products to enhance
their development and business processes, IBM Rational’s
clients often need to perform some level of evaluation,
whether by a hands-on workshop or a full onsite installation
for a mini-project. Both these take valuable time to setup—
up to 2-3 months or even longer in some cases. For a year
now IBM Rational has been using a service called IBM®
Rational® Demonstration Cloud, which is an account on
the IBM® SmartCloud™ Enterprise, that enables clients to
evaluate products over the Internet. This bypasses the delays
previously associated with the client evaluation; for example,
no customer hardware is required. This presentation
describes how the IBM Rational Demonstration Cloud is
used with clients and describes some of the improvements
achieved, including new ways of helping customers evaluate
IBM Rational capabilities that were not previously possible.

Rational® Quality Manager, and IBM® Rational® Insight
Ryan Rayner, BlueCross BlueShield of Michigan (BCBSM),
Software Testing Manager
BlueCross BlueShield of Michigan (BCBSM) is the largest
health insurer in Michigan with more than 4.3 million
members and the third largest health insurance claims
processor in the country. BCBSM wanted to provide
executive leadership with a standard defect detection score
for each completed project to measure project success.
The company chose IBM® Rational® ClearQuest® to obtain
pre-production VS warranty defect yield rates. An open
services for lifecycle collaboration bridge is used to interface
with defects originating from IBM® Rational® Quality Manager.
External vendors and customers collaborate around IBM
Rational ClearQuest defect entry via the Web. After project
warranty, the quality score is pulled from IBM Rational
ClearQuest via a query. BCBSM has saved two hours per
project looking for metrics, eliminated two competing defect
tracking systems, improved accuracy of metrics reporting
by over 100 percent, and eliminated 40 hours of manual
defect tracking.

Disciplined Agile Delivery with DevOps
Scott Ambler, IBM Rational, Chief Methodologist for IT
DevOps addresses the integrated activities that streamline
the collaboration between development and operations
groups, activities that occur through all phases of the
development/delivery lifecycle. Disciplined agile delivery
(DAD) is a hybrid process framework adopting strategies
from scrum, XP, lean, agile modeling, unified process, and
other sources. DAD addresses the full delivery lifecycle
from end to end and explicitly includes operations and
support staff, amongst many others, as key stakeholders
throughout the delivery lifecycle. DAD also includes explicit
governance practices, an explicit transition/release phase,
and explicitly includes production-oriented activities that
affect development. This presentation describes how to
systematically include DevOps principles and practices in an
agile delivery process.

IBM Rational’s Role in Provisioning for the Cloud – How
the Multi-Brand Puzzle Fits Together
Jeffrey B. Jakubiak, IBM, Architect; Steve Mirman, IBM,
Architect; Gary Pahlow, IBM, Architect
While some products can be provided in a software-as-a-
service scenario, the role of IBM Rational in the cloud is more
significant. IBM Rational products are sometimes overlooked
in an overall multi-brand cloud solution; however, they can
take on one of the primary roles in support of provisioning
for an elastic cloud. Customers want business capabilities
available in the cloud, and this can’t be done without full
deployment of applications. This session walks through
the multi-brand private cloud PoC implementation done
for a large financial services customer that included the
IBM Service Delivery Manager suite and IBM® WebSphere®
IWD for service management and virtual infrastructure
provisioning. IBM Rational Automation Framework was
integrated to support middleware configuration and
application deployment. IBM® Rational® Software Architect
and IBM® Rational® Asset Manager were also brought into

DevOps: Building One Team Through Integrated Social
Collaboration
Jason Plurad, IBM, Software Engineer; David G. Robinson,
IBM, Software Architect
This session demonstrates a social collaboration tool
developed to facilitate DevOps communications based
on real use cases from operations and development
organizations, including cloud infrastructures. The
architecture behind the demo is discussed, along with the
challenges encountered both developing and using the tool.
The discussion includes examples of how social capabilities
helped streamline project management processes by
leveraging the same IBM® Rational® and IBM® Tivoli® tools
used by the developers and operations staff. The demo
embraces that operations and development teams often
use different tool sets as their primary interfaces into the IT
processes and shows that applying new social technologies
based on the latest standards, teams can increase
communication and transparency into the Agile DevOps
process. By maintaining a high level of engagement, the right
set of experts can collaborate to resolve deployment issues,
ultimately leading to increased team velocity.

The Five Imperatives—An Application Lifecycle
Management Energy Drink Boosts the Whole Team
Monica Luke, IBM, CLM Strategic Offerings Lead
Today software is everywhere. It’s powerful, complex,
and fundamental to business. There can be serious
consequences to failure. Some failures can result in
significant human harm. Others, like security breaches,
violations of regulations, or product recalls, can have
catastrophic business implications. Companies need
strategies for delivering software that not only “do no harm”
but add real value. IBM developed the “five imperatives for
application lifecycle management” to demonstrate how to
overcome the high cost of organizational silos using in-
context collaboration, real-time planning, lifecycle traceability,
development intelligence, and continuous improvement.

Tim R. Feeney, IBM, CLM Solution Architect; Dennis W.
Schultz, IBM, Solution Architect
In order to truly impact product quality and do so in a way
that reduces delivery time, testing cannot be an after-the-fact
verification exercise, but rather must be done as an integral
part of the development effort. However, quality assurance
and development have traditionally operated independently.
How can these teams be brought together to collaborate and
share information? This session introduces ways to leverage
the IBM® Rational® collaborative lifecycle management
solution to start testing earlier, improve collaboration between
teams, and reduce fix times resulting in higher quality in a
shorter time. Presenters discuss topics such as associating
tests to development work, test-driven development,
build management, version control of test artifacts, defect

Jazz Application Frameworks Lead and Jazz Product
Architect
The IBM® Rational® collaborative lifecycle management
(CLM) solution and open services for lifecycle collaboration
embrace the concepts of linked data, providing an
architecture for better integration between disparate sources
of lifecycle data. It is based on the architecture of the Web,
utilizing the principles of RESTful design, defining artifacts
as Web addressable resources, and using URLs to express
relationships between artifacts in separate repositories,
applications, and systems. This architecture implies the
need for URL stability, to maintain referential integrity
and traceability across the lifecycle data, and has been a
constraint for CLM deployment until now. In CLM 2012,
greater flexibility is provided for changing a deployment and
moving servers permanently when standard Web techniques
such as DNS are not suitable. This session discusses the
options for changing the topology or location of existing
deployments and discuss the facilities to enable it.

Collaborative Lifecycle Management
Cherifa Mansoura, IBM, Solution Architect, IBM Rational
Worldwide Solution Delivery; Bhawana V. Gupta, IBM,
Rational Brand Architect
Scope and requirements are two important aspects a team
needs to manage during software development. The two
are often used interchangeably or mistaken as one. Are they
the same? Definitely not. What is the difference? When does
requirements management start? What triggers the scope
activities? What are the factors and outputs to consider for
scope negotiation? Which stakeholders are involved in each
stage? How can teams effectively use the strategy of divide
and conquer to scope a project and manage requirements?
Find answers to these questions in this session and hear
how a collaborative lifecycle management (CLM) solution
using IBM® Rational® Requirements Composer and IBM®
Rational Team Concert™ helps draw the boundaries between
these fundamental aspects of project management. The
audience benefits from an illustrated experience report of
a banking institution that deployed CLM with IBM Rational
Requirements Composer and IBM Rational Team Concert for
the purposes they serve best.

Just Enough Quality: Knowing When to Say When
Scott Rich, IBM, Distinguished Engineer, Technical Lead for
Rational CLM
Knowing when done is truly done is one of the hardest things
to say in software development, especially given that teams
almost always know there’s more to do. Having the ability to
effectively ensure broad coverage and linkage of all essential
lifecycle artifacts to help make that determination is critical.
Moreover, providing teams with complete transparency
and measured improvement metrics enables them to more
accurately assess “launch readiness,” which of course helps
teams adapt, and more importantly, optimize their ability to
do it all over again with more predictability and efficiency.
This session is the day two keynote for the Lifecycle

The approach has been gathered from the experience of
application lifecycle management (ALM)/product lifecycle
management (PLM) integration for the automotive industry
where no previous open services for lifecycle collaboration
(OSLC) specification existed for product type resources.
An extension to the OSLC specification was developed in
collaboration with the OSLC PLM and Core workgroup,
then an implementation was successfully realized using
Eclipse Lyo alongside ALM and PLM applications. The Lyo
framework provides ways to store, parse, and query RDFs
present in the specific server. The Lyo framework was
extended to support new features that can provide seamless
integration of aspects of lifecycle management. This session
generalizes the method and provides a reusable approach to
integrate two lifecycle management aspects.

The “integration problem” is one faced by all businesses and
is often solved in an unsatisfactory manner. For examples,
tight coupling makes changes difficult, multiple copies of
data can increase storage requirements and worse, and
problem determination and resolution in such systems can
be costly. Through open services for lifecycle collaboration

of common problems and solutions, and have published
open specifications to make software integrations easier and
more robust, and expose more lifecycle data so that it can
be effectively used. Learn from the experiences of OSLC

organizations struggle with teams working in silos, broken
lines of communication, lack of collaboration, inadequate
traceability, and poor project visibility. This often results in
organizations “doing the wrong things” and “doing things
wrong,” with associated higher costs, project delays, and
lower quality. Breaking down these silos can be enabled
by providing a collaborative platform where the whole
organization can prioritize, share, and govern delivery.
The result is better informed decision making at all levels
and greatly improved communications and traceability
between teams, which drives greater delivery efficiency and
effectiveness and an overall increase in the business value
created by delivery teams.

Finding Common Ground between Agile and Waterfall
for Large Enterprises
Richard McMullin, National Bank of Canada, Senior Manager
– Research and Development Standards; Martin Morgentaler,
IBM, Senior Software Technical Professional
Large waterfall organizations are still wary of the agile
movement. Complexity, strong architecture commitment,
and political alignment to process that are familiar, all work to
breed skepticism of newer agile approaches. While people
loathe change, disciplined agile delivery (DaD, not dAd) can
help. Small “a” agile practices can improve and strengthen
traditional waterfall practices. This presentation uses a real-
life example of a reasonably large business project (>$15M),
to demonstrate how agile practices can be introduced
within a waterfall organization with the goal of improving

Application Lifecycle Management Imperatives: A
Customer’s Implementation Story pre-IBM® Rational
Team Concert™
★ Andrew Detandt, Lender Processing Services, Resource
Manager; Monica Luke, IBM, CLM Strategic Offerings Lead
Are tools getting in the way of development? Hung up on
the pursuit of perfect methodology? Are tools configured
to support territorial turfdom instead of supporting smarter
development? Ideally, pursuit should be the well-known five
application lifecycle management Imperatives: accelerate
time to delivery with real time planning, improve quality
with lifecycle traceability, maximize product value with in-
context collaboration, refine predictability with development
intelligence, and reduce costs with continuous improvement.
This presentation proposes cultural change in an organization
and how a current tool set can support that improvement.
Setting tools up to house that single source of project
truth so that organizations can effectively collaborate might
be easier than attendees think. Hear how LPS made the
transition to work items, resulting in rapid and adaptable
iteration planning, project transparency, predictability, and
improved collaboration.

Case Study: Break the Barrier of Process Silos —
Prepare to Achieve Collaborative Lifecycle
Management Goals
Subodh Atal, SSA, Technical Project Manager; Anirban
Mukherjee, IBM, Senior IT Architect; Dave Remmel, IBM,
Senior Managing Consultant
How to break the barrier to improve software development
using comprehensive collaboration? Existing proven
processes were not well integrated so disciplines did not
talk with each other. Instituting a comprehensive process
covering multiple disciplines broke down these barriers while
gaining collaborative lifecycle management (CLM) benefits.
Learn how a standardized document-centric monolithic
requirement elicitation process was replaced with a modern
requirements authoring technique, leveraging an existing
investment in lifecycle tools. UML modeling of requirements,
software design, architecture, and deployment facilitated
by an intelligent web of traceability relationships further
enhanced CLM while improving reporting across disciplines
and end-to-end impact analysis. An interesting process twist
using application flow scenarios added to the collaboration
between disciplines and scenario-based testing. Learn
how to leverage investments in existing tools and gain
CLM benefits.

Add Sync to Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration
Link: Large-Scale Application Lifecycle Management
Integration for IBM® Rational Team Concert™
Mik Kersten, Tasktop Technologies, Founder and CEO
The collaborative lifecycle management support in IBM®
Rational Team Concert™ is key to many agile transformations.
But many customers deploy this tool into heterogeneous
application lifecycle management (ALM) environments that
include third-party tools such as Microsoft TFS, HP Quality
Center, and Atlassian JIRA. To productively use this product
requires integration among the disparate ALM tools to
provide real-time data visibility and reporting. While a growing
number of systems support open services for lifecycle
collaboration (OSLC)-based linked lifecycle data integration,
many do not. This session demonstrates how an integration
approach based on data synchronization using Eclipse Mylyn
connectors can co-exist with and leverage OSLC integrations
and how OSLC interoperability can be provided for multiple
systems even when they don’t natively support the OSLC
specification. Attendees leave the session with practical
integration strategies in real-world heterogeneous scenarios.

Configuration Management; Ashok Reddy, IBM, Director,
Offering Strategy & Delivery, Cloud
In today’s high paced, high delivery world, the ability to
automate effectively with trusted, reliable, and reusable
assets is more important than ever. The truth is that
the greatest development efforts can only bear fruit if
organizations are able to successfully deploy them. Come
learn how IBM® Rational® is leading the way in providing
world-class solutions to address automation, deployment,
and asset management needs.
Automation, Deployment & Asset Management
In order to optimize software delivery, organizations must focus on streamlining the flow of
information and removing critical bottlenecks. One way to achieve this is through automation and
the use of a trusted asset library. As virtualization and the cloud make IT environments increasingly
complex, and the pressure to be agile accelerates the pace of software delivery, the key to
enhanced productivity, repeatability, and reliability lies in solutions and best practices covered in
this track. IT managers, practitioners, and operations teams will learn how the IBM® Rational®
Automation Framework, IBM® Rational® Build Forge®, and IBM® Rational® Asset Manager, as well
as integrations with IBM WebSphere and IBM® Tivoli®, can help to provide “a single source of the
truth”, automate processes, and dramatically improve efficiency and costs.

Customizing Change by Adding Project Specific
Features and CGI Scripts
Robert Doerr, L-3 MPRI, SW Configuration Manager
Rather than use IBM® Rational® Change™ as just an
integrated Web-based, change control and management
solution, make it an integral software development tool
by adding CGI-based forms, reports, and scripts used
by software developers, quality assurance personnel,
and managers. For example, using a CGI-based quality
assurance test log, quality assurance marks a task as having
failed a test and email is automatically sent to the responsible
engineer. At any time, managers can refresh either the quality
assurance test log or any other related report, including pie
charts to see the current quality assurance status of the
weekly build or overall project codeline. Or an engineer at a
test event on the other side of the globe can pull up the latest
build reports, see what tasks and objects were included,
and clink on an object and immediately see a “diff” listing
between that object and its predecessor.

10 Teams, 4 Sites, 1 Project—No Problem Using
IBM® Rational® ClearCase® to Succeed in a Global
Multisite Environment
Robert Duffy, Siemens, Software Engineer; Duzgun Aral,
Siemens, Software Engineer; Mike Pawlowski, Siemens,
Software Engineer
Siemens has taken IBM® Rational® ClearCase® as its
primary software configuration management tool. One
implementation of IBM Rational ClearCase is a development
effort that has 10 teams spanning four countries using
IBM Rational ClearCase. The goal was to move this global
project from a unified change management-based approach
to a more flexible IBM Rational ClearCase implementation.
Siemens had to create flexibility for each site to work on
its own without impacting any other sites’ ability to build/
test code and to avoid mastership issues when setting the
strategy. Siemens attained a solution utilizing a combination
of branching and labeling to keep sites separate and
ignorant of one another during the Agile development
cycles. It devised a simple, yet elegant, solution for dealing
with “common” files that each site needed to modify during
development. Ultimately, Siemens created an environment
where teams in multiple locations can work independently yet
still achieve the end goal.

Using IBM® Rational Team Concert™ to Achieve
Successful, Sustainable, and Scalable Source Code
Management
David J Arnone, Citi, SVP/Chief ALM Architect,
Citi Global Technology
In 2011, Citi Global Consumer Technology began an
enterprise deployment of IBM® Rational Team Concert™
across its lines of business. One of the goals is to
migrate all the development teams from their current
software configuration management tools to IBM Rational
Team Concert to achieve greater transparency into how
development teams are collaborating. To employ the software
configuration management of IBM Rational Team Concert
effectively, it is important to understand the mechanics of
how it works to implement sustainable strategies for parallel
development using effective stream, component, and team
structures. The presentation offers a brief overview of how
IBM Rational Team Concert works; provides examples
of parallel development at several levels of abstraction;
discusses system architecture and its relationship to teams,
streams, and components; and explains several stream
strategies that support access control, separation of duties,
and release management patterns.

Organization Are Never as Prepared as They Think—
Surviving a Natural Disaster
Richard Sheehan, BAE Systems Electronic Systems, System
Admin Senior Principle
In the early morning hours of September 8, 2011, BAE
System’s Johnson City facility in upstate New York was
destroyed by a catastrophic flood. Nearly 1,400 employees
were displaced. The centralized IBM® Rational® Change™
and IBM® Rational® Synergy™ server for geographically
dispersed sites within the platform solutions line of business
was submerged beneath several feet of water. This session
offers details on the disaster recovery efforts, including
what worked and what didn’t, what was planned for and
what wasn’t, what the company did right, and what it will
do differently going forward. Attendees can take this unique
opportunity to adapt and improve their disaster recovery
plans based on real-world events that hopefully they will
never have to experience. The presentation offers steps
organizations can take to prepare for a natural disaster, steps
organizations may have to take to recover from a natural
disaster, and advice about how to prepare for these worst
case scenarios.

Using IBM® Rational® Synergy™ Over a WAN
Todd Alden, Delphi, Sr. Software Strategist
For many, software development has become a cross-
site, globally collaborative environment. With more than
20 sites developing software and a majority of software
projects having teams that span multiple sites, coordinating
changes can be a challenge. In the past IBM® Rational®
Synergy™ DCM (distributed code management) was used
to synchronize changes between separate databases and
servers at each location. IBM Rational Synergy 7.x has
opened up the viability of working over the WAN with all
team members working out of the same database. This
creates a better team dynamic and addresses collaboration
issues such as timely sharing of code and immediate visibility
of parallel development. In addition, entire servers can be
consolidated, saving IT and support costs. This session looks
the successes and roadblocks to using IBM Rational over the
WAN and consolidating servers. Presenters also discuss the
hurdles overcome and hurdles still to be addressed.

Lessons Learned from IBM® Rational Team Concert™
and Lean IT
Markus Sprunck, UniCredit Global Information Services
S.C.p.A., Head of Global Competence Center SW
Engineering & Quality Mgmt.
Unicredit Group is one of the leading banks in Europe,
with a highly distributed IT in eight countries. In 2010,
the company started a lean IT transformation program
to optimize its software development and infrastructure.
Lean IT is a still young approach to bring principles of lean
management and production into IT companies. This change
lasts typically three months for a single team in a holistic
approach. The main purpose of lean IT is to reduce waste
and create more value for the customer. A lot of methods
and techniques of classical agile approaches are used. Lean
IT looks similar to agile, but because of its roots, lean IT
follows an industrialized approach. For example, lean IT is
not about democracy in development teams. The company
customized the IBM® Rational Team Concert™ to support the
collaboration needs of the teams that apply lean IT methods
in their daily work.

Engineer
In this presentation, a collaborative team that has been
working at Panasonic Automotive describes a simple
method garnered from their real-world experience using
IBM® Rational Team Concert™ to manage large global cross-
functional development teams to deliver multiple products
and variants to a broad expectant customer base. Using
three critical planning items and combining a consistent set
of plan/work item patterns with some thoughtful querying
and dashboards, enabled Panasonic to keep its team on
track and its customer informed. The real-world experiences
of managing global customers and the evolutions of working
with multiple customers are detailed. The information is
critical to those organizations that manage multiple complex
programs, with staggered timing, the need to manage
resources, and different customer work management and
reporting practices. All of this work has been executed within
the IBM Rational Team Concert package.

How Accenture’s Application Outsourcing Environment
Uses IBM® Rational Team Concert™ and Open Services
for Lifecycle Collaboration
Gary Dang, Accenture, Technical Architect; David E. Bellagio,
IBM, Integration Architect
Accenture is a world leader in application outsourcing. It
has created an environment and process to manage and
host development and maintenance of client assets around
the world. Accenture recently adopted IBM® Rational
Team Concert™ to evolve this environment to support the
IBM® Rational® Jazz® collaboration framework based on
open services for lifecycle collaboration (OSLC) for work
item management. There were two integration points
that initially needed to be supported: integration between
IBM Rational Team Concert work items and a help desk
support system to manage work request changes, and
integration between IBM Rational Team Concert work
items and a project time tracking system to manage effort
and due dates. This solution helped Accenture deliver its
next generation application maintenance and development
platform to customers. This talk outlines the challenges and
effort involved in implementing the integration between IBM
Rational Team Concert and these systems using OSLC.

Testing Is Dead, Long Live Quality
Ewald Roodenrijs, Sogeti, R&D Engineer
Why do teams test? They want quality delivered in their
software applications. More simply put, testing finds
defects—defects that must be resolved. But as Boehm told
us in 1979, solving defects later in the software development
lifecycle is expensive. So why is testing still done primarily
at the end of the lifecycle when 50-70 percent of defects
are attributed to requirements and design flaws? These
are defects that could have been found much earlier and
prevented before they are embedded in the requirements.
Wondering how one identifies defects early to improve
quality throughout the whole lifecycle? Attend this session

When Is Testing Done?
Michael T. Lundblad, IBM, Program Director, Rational
Offering Strategy & Delivery Enablement; Murray Cantor,
IBM, Distinguished Engineer, Rational CTO Council
Enhancing the ability to avoid financial disaster from a late
and/or failed-in-production software innovation project
requires going beyond the standard technical metrics
for software and systems release. Millions of dollars are
spent yearly on software testing. IBM’s direct experience
and data gathered by researchers working with hundreds
of companies show that most firms invest 25 percent
or more of their development lifecycle time and cost
in quality assurance. A key point in any development
process, therefore, is the point at which testing ends and
the organization moves ahead with deployment. This is
the time in the life of every development project when the
program manager has to ask the very practical questions
like “Is the software ready for release?” or “How do we know
when we’re done testing?” This presentation (also an IBM
whitepaper) is an innovative framework for measuring the
business risk of release versus the cost of continued testing.

Julen Mohanty, Citigroup Technology Services, Manager
A requirements-based testing (RBT) process describes a
strategy to integrate testing throughout the development
lifecycle and focus on the quality of the requirements
specification. The result is early defect detection and
prevention, reducing costs by finding and fixing defects
earlier in the development process. The RBT process
addresses two major issues: validating that the requirements
are correct, complete, unambiguous, and logically
consistent; and designing a necessary and sufficient set of
test cases from the requirements to ensure that the design
and code fully meet those requirements. In designing the
associated tests, two issues need to be overcome: reducing
the immensely large number of potential tests down to a
reasonable size set and ensuring that the tests deliver the
right answer for the right reason. The RBT process does
not assume that the requirements specifications are good
and aids in driving out ambiguity and driving down the level
of detail.

Rational Performance Tester; Moti Demri, EverBank , AVP –
QA Manager
Companies delivering software are challenged to produce
defect-free and responsive products while cutting
costs. Performance testing should be a priority for many
organizations but where does one begin? Know how
to properly size an IBM® Rational® Performance Tester
deployment running on physical hardware, in virtual images,
or on the cloud? During this session, sizing guidance is
provided in the form of general rules-of-thumb and from
real-world workloads. Learn new tips and techniques to
get the highest possible scalability out of an IBM Rational
performance test environment. Not ready to create a test
environment or simply need to increase load levels? An
alternative is to utilize cloud-based testing and quality
management services. Traditional test lab management and
load generation can be expensive. Using Testing as a Service
(TaaS) offers benefits of cost savings, agility, and the ability to
quickly scale up capacity. Attend this session to learn more.

Test Data Management in a Software
Development Lifecycle
Kimberly Madia, IBM, IBM InfoSphere Product
Marketing Manager
Testing is a critical part of any software development lifecycle.
Creating realistic and consistent test databases is the first
step in delivering reliable applications. But with multiple
database clones to configure and manage, costs can
quickly spiral out of control. Testing cycles are extended, and
releases are delayed. So, what is the way to deliver Agile
applications while controlling costs? During this session, learn
how to speed iterative testing cycles by creating right-sized
test environments, including automating the comparison of
baseline data against successive test run results to quickly
identify application errors. In addition, learn how to speed
delivery of applications while reducing cost by enabling
testers and developers to access and refresh test data. Test
data management starts with creating realistic right-sized test

Agile Test Management Practices with IBM® Rational®
Quality Manager
Chip Davis, IBM, Accelerated Value Program Leader
Agile development has numerous benefits to a software
development effort, including improved quality in the software
that is produced. However, in order to gain these benefits,
correct and effective agile practices must be followed.
Likewise, software testing in agile has many benefits, but also
requires a thorough understanding of how to successfully
apply it. Without comprehensive planning and insight, one
might not reap all the rewards of agile software testing.
Test management practices are central to driving quality
improvements in agile development, as well as any other
type of software development effort. The concurrent testing
practice in agile projects is different from more traditional
testing approaches, and may require a change in testing
attitudes and culture. Both test management and concurrent
testing practices together, in an agile effort, will lead to
significant and measurable improvements in the quality of the
resulting product.

Field by Field, Row by Row…Automating Data Testing
Using IBM® Rational® Functional Tester
Kirk Juhas, CDPHP, Quality Assurance Architect
This session outlines how CDPHP, a provider of healthcare
products, extended IBM® Rational® Functional Tester to
create a modular test automation framework that focuses
on data testing and validation, something every company
that processes large amounts of data should have. This
automation was applied to large test projects such as major
system upgrades, changes in federally mandated data
formats (HIPAA 5010 & ICD-10), annual healthcare product
enrollments, data warehouse balancing, and more. Some of
the implemented types of data-centric testing techniques are
database schema comparisons, fixed width and delimited
file validations, environment change detection, cross server
file directory comparisons, and log file error detection. Within
CDPHP, the use of IBM Rational Functional Tester data
validation has increased the total test coverage for data
tests from 5 to 100 percent and decreased regression
testing time by 97 percent for manual data validation efforts
once implemented.

After Wow—Integrating iRise with IBM® Rational®
Requirements Composer to Speed Time-to-Market
Mike Hughes, iRise, Director, Customer Solutions
What happens after teams wow users with mobile
simulations that are so real some users think they are the
final application? Many organizations undergo extremely
positive transformations when they start using iRise
visualizations to document the look, feel, and behavior
of applications before coding begins. The recent iRise
integration with IBM® Rational® Requirements Composer
now helps in other phases of the solution delivery lifecycle.
It gives users a simple way to associate these iRise visual
requirements artifacts to other types of artifacts required
to describe, implement, and test applications, including
business process, flow diagrams, and use cases. Such
associations improve software quality and user experience
by describing requirements and behavior visually and
dynamically, rather than verbally or with static images. See
an example of customers that use iRise and IBM Rational
Requirements Composer to achieve shorter times to market
than organizations had thought possible.

Iterative Requirements Analysis: Implementing
Lean and Agile Principles for Software
Requirements Analysis
Hari Narayanaswamy, Nationwide Insurance,
Director, IT Analysis
The advantages of applying lean and agile techniques to
design and development activities of software development
is now well established and known widely in the IT industry.
IT organizations that have implemented agile techniques
have either continued to do analysis activities as practiced
in waterfall approaches or skipped upfront analysis as
advocated by agile purists. Nationwide Insurance’s IT
is currently executing a few pilot projects to assess the
feasibility of an iterative analysis approach that will augment
the currently established Agile software development
practices. The approach could be highly beneficial to large
organizations that are transitioning to or executing agile-
based development. This paper explains the iterative analysis
approach that is being piloted and discusses results, lessons
learned, and plans for further deployment, including using
IBM® Rational® Requirements Composer and IBM® Rational
Team Concert™.

Performing Systems Engineering Requirements
Analysis with SysML Parametrics
Yvonne Bijan, Lockheed Martin, Software Engineer
Poor requirements engineering is a common cause of failure
in system development. Not only are text requirements
ambiguous, the domain conditions under which they are
to be satisfied are vague. Until operating conditions and
requirements are formally captured, they will continue to be
vague with ill-defined verification criteria. SysML used in a
model-based systems engineering (MBSE) development
process can help mitigate these errors. Requirements can be
formalized in a precise manner by representing the system
under design and its operating environment as a composite
SysML model with parametric diagrams. Formalization of
requirements and constraints with parametric diagrams
enables them to be verified and flowed down during the
development process. An example is used to illustrate how
IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® parametric diagrams can be used
to develop requirements and constraints.

Industry; Matt Jones, Jaguar Land Rover, Vice President
Infotainment systems keep users connected to information
and entertainment while in the car and are a key
differentiator in the automotive industry. The need for more
complex functions and data requirements drives code
size and processing power, and in turn, brings escalating
development and validation cost for the software effort
of these new-generation infotainment devices. The goal
of GENIVI, an open standards-based consortium, is
to standardize the non-differentiating elements of the
Infotainment solution stack. In this session, learn about DNA-
changing industry trends of the lucrative, yet challenging,
automotive Infotainment space and how IBM Rational
solutions help control costs and complexity by helping
organizations comply and embrace these industry-wide
standardization initiatives.

Hardware/Software Co-Design Using SysML
and SystemC
Sandeep Desai, Sodius, Engineering Director
System-level design has become quite complex. Time-to-
market pressures; multiple dimensions of design tradeoffs;
and issues in quality, safety, and reliability all factor in, as well
as overall cost. SysML-based methodologies have emerged
as the preferred choice for high-level system description
and collaboration in the system engineering domain. In
addition, the electronic design community is coalescing
around SystemC and TLM 2.0 to raise the abstraction
level. Therefore, it is critical and natural to leverage SysML
model artifacts further down in the flow, including hardware
design, verification, and implementation. SysML-to-SystemC
synthesis technology from Sodius bridges the automation
gap between these tool chains through automated synthesis
of SystemC models from SysML. This presentation provides
an overview of the technology, as well as case studies
describing the success of this approach.

Better Co-Development for Real-Time Saves Real
Time in a Project—Timing and Performance Modeling,
Simulation, and Analysis Along the Lifecycle
Manprit Singh, IBM, Market Manager for Automotive
Industry; Tapio Kramer, INCHRON GmbH, Marketing
Manager; Martin R. Bakal, IBM, WW Offering Manager,
Electronics Industry
With the increasing demands on the functionality of
embedded systems, the challenges in development
grow seemingly exponentially. This is due to the growing
complexity and need to still have reliability. By optimizing
the collaboration among developers, the challenges in
project management and development can be mitigated.
This takes strong collaboration tools. A growing demand
for optimization lies in the dynamic real-time behavior
domain, since rising functionality generates complexity
from interconnections leading to challenging interferences.
Starting with requirements, over to systems design, and
finally throughout configuration and defect management, the
timing and performance aspects have to be well managed
by an integrated development platform for product lifecycle
management. Addressing the dynamic behavior continuously
will result in higher quality and faster time-to-market.

Model-Based Systems Engineering Approach-Based
on SysML in a Multiple-Team/Multiple Site Environment
Dietmar Pfeiffer, Cassidian, Systems Engineer
Based on the IBM® Rational® Harmony® best practices, a
multi-team, multi-site approach is presented allowing the
definition of the system use cases by independent teams
at different sites. The approach has been defined and
exercised in a case study by an integrated team of Cassidian
system engineers and IBM consultants. After appropriate
tailoring, it is currently being introduced into a Cassidian
UAS project utilizing IBM® Rational® DOORS® and IBM®
Rational® Rhapsody® with SysML. The approach starts with
the definition and prioritization of the system use cases. Each
of the use cases is then elaborated as a black box model
and the functionality is allocated to the system elements
(“sub-systems”). For each sub-system, a separate model
is generated that can be worked at independently by a
separate team. After completion of the sub-system models,
they are integrated again and tested against the black box
model behavior by running the respective sub-system state
charts concurrently.

How IBM® Rational® DOORS® Helps JPL Get to Mars
and Beyond: Best Practices in Metrics, Verification,
and Traceability
Margaret Smith Holzmann, Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
Technical Group Supervisor
JPL has used IBM® Rational® DOORS® for 15 years to
capture requirements and plan and track verification for
projects ranging from deep space missions to Mars rovers.
Through trial and error, JPL identified and codified a set
of best practices centered on the use of a set of standard
attributes. Uniform usage of these attributes has allowed JPL
to develop a robust metrics reporting capability that gives
project teams quick and easy access to a snapshot of their
requirements maturity and verification progress. New projects
provide a requirements tree and JPL’s IBM Rational DOORS
administrators generate a turn-key system with the JPL
standard attributes, standard views, and a set of working
DXL scripts for generating metrics and graphics. Because
requirements span many levels, JPL has developed a tool
for visualizing IBM Rational DOORS requirements database
linkages and quickly navigating links.

Cliff Sadler, Brockwell Technologies, Inc., Senior Systems
Engineer – Rational Deployment Professional
Walking the walk of application lifecycle management is
always a challenge of compromises, existing tool capabilities,
and user adoption. Redstone Arsenal has adopted a
minimalist approach of implementation by introducing
additional capabilities as schedule and understanding allows,
for both the creators and consumers of project data. To that
end, the company has developed a support environment
that leverages the best practices of IBM® Rational® DOORS®,
IBM® Rational® DOORS Web Access™, IBM® Rational®
Rhapsody®, and IBM® Rational® Publishing Engine™ to

Achieve High-Quality Technical Requirements
Using IBM® Rational® DOORS® with INCHRON’s
Real-Time Capabilities
Tapio Kramer, INCHRON GmbH, Marketing Manager
In the development process, requirements need specific
semantics for different domains and design levels. The
IBM® Rational® Jazz® platform enables domain-specific
tools to provide refined requirements to IBM® Rational®
DOORS®. System level requirements for the real-time
behavior of embedded systems are often defined informally
using weak phrases like “in time” or “fast enough.” To
derive formal technical requirements for the system’s
implementation, a translation into formulas with precise
events and physical time units is needed. By coupling the
INCHRON Tool-Suite with IBM Rational DOORS using open
services for lifecycle collaboration (OSLC), the semantics
of a system-level requirement can be redefined to formal
timing and performance requirements for the design. The
relationship between the refined INCHRON Tool-Suite
specific requirement and the original IBM Rational DOORS
requirement is kept. That guarantees traceability between
design steps and across tools.

platform, used in different ranges and products, is a great
challenge. For a truck to be competitive, all customers’
requirements must be supported, leading to a high variant
diversity that can have significant impact on the embedded
software. AB Volvo is a global company with products that
include trucks, buses, construction vehicles, and drivelines
for boats. The range of products, together with different local
requirements, drives the diversity. This session describes
the approach taken at AB Volvo to implement a flexible and
scalable systems design approach that encompasses product

Andre van de Velde, IBM, Client Technical Professional
Building a system of systems is a complex endeavor. It is
an architectural challenge with many interdependencies,
dealing with multiple disciples, RAMSHE (reliability,
availability, maintainability, safety, health, environment),
physical and other constraints, trade-offs, and a given set
of building blocks. Add to this a dramatically changing set
of requirements due to new legislation during the course of
a project and all ingredients for disaster are present. This
session shares how an integrated approach and tooling
helped in delivering one of Europe’s safest tunnels on target,
on budget, and ahead of schedule. The focus is on electrical
and software engineering with touch-points to mechanical
engineering. The “Westerschelde Tunnel” is a 6.6-kilometre
(4.1 mi) tunnel in The Netherlands under the Westerschelde
estuary. It is the longest tunnel for highway traffic in The

Public Sector Planning and Budgeting
James R. Amsden, IBM, Government Industry
Solution Architect
For public sector organizations to address decreasing
revenues, the inability to create new revenue sources,
increased mandates, and greater citizen needs, they must
find ways to do more with less. That means they need
to optimize not only what they do, but also how they do
it. Optimizing what a public sector organization does is a
planning process to determining how to deliver the most
high-priority outcomes with available revenue. Optimizing
how those outcomes are realized is a performance
management process to determine how to close
performance gaps to provide service levels that deliver the
expected outcomes at acceptable costs. This talk explores
how enterprise architecture and portfolio planning techniques
and reusable industry assets can be used to facilitate
public sector planning and budgeting and performance
management. These techniques evolved through

How does an organization know that it needs an enterprise
architecture (EA) program? How do top performers
implement a successful EA program one project at a time?
What are the consequences of not implementing an EA
program when one is needed? Which EA framework should
be used? How should IT investments be used to enable
business transformation? Learn how to identify the need
for an EA program and initiate, implement, and govern
a practical EA program that transforms a business and
delivers business value from the people who have done it for
themselves. Learn about tools and methods to implement
an EA framework selected by an organization, and link and

Smart Business Transformation Information
Technology Solutions Tools Management
Cheryl Rabenstein, IBM, Manager, BT/IT Process
Management Services; Bradford J. Sandler, IBM, Executive

Manager – BT/IT Tools
In 2010, IBM presented a five-year plan to shift its business
to higher growth areas, investing in acquisitions, focusing
on growth markets, and driving enterprise productivity.
Toward the goal of driving enterprise productivity, the
Business Transformation/Information Technology (BT/
IT) team has undertaken the task to evaluate the various
processes and tools that IBMers use to do business, then
to streamline those processes by updating, consolidating,
and integrating the tools required to do that work across
the enterprise—all in accordance with the standards and
guidelines the company has established. The result will
be a set of enterprise-wide business processes that are
more productive, efficient, and cost-effective. And there
are important advantages to IBM to use its own software
technology: Lower cost, making BT/IT a more highly
productive organization. Also, IBM becomes a key reference
account to many external clients that are potential users of
what IBM sells.
IT Portfolio Strategy & Management
The IT Portfolio Strategy & Management track will address disciplines that both inform IT strategy,
and enable the translation of IT strategy to actionable delivery by enabling executive and cross-
functional business-IT teams to make better-informed strategic and tactical decisions. In addition
to treating enterprise architecture, portfolio management, and delivery management as discreet
topics, the track will also bring together these topics to showcase the latest techniques for
managing IT from strategy to delivery in order to resolve more complex IT challenges, including, for
example, application portfolio management.

Strategic Planning for IT: Creating a Framework to
Embrace Organizational Change
Jamie Knowles, Corso, CTO; Martin Owen, Corso,
Managing Partner
How does an organization embrace market- and business-
driven change? Some organizations turn to their enterprise
architecture (EA) or IT architectures for answers. Others use
program boards to evaluate options based on lightweight
business cases that lack a broader context. In most cases,
IT is a follower, not a leader, in the strategic planning and
transition process. What’s needed is a systematic, flexible
approach for strategic planning for IT. An approach that helps
the organization unite the business and architecture view into
a central platform and leverage existing tools and the Web to
share information and decision-making across IT, EA, and the
business. The strategic planning platform (SPP) framework
is the next evolution in IT management. It is designed to
systematically manage change across an organization. It
draws upon new trends in Web technology to facilitate a
more decentralized approach to analyzing and prioritizing
market changes and business demands.

Align, Plan, and Execute Projects with Confidence
Neil Leblanc, IBM, Product Manager; Gregg Sporar,
Planview, Product Manager
How do organizations ensure that their teams work on the
business’ highest impact initiatives and that projects are
planned and implemented efficiently and that resources
are available? How do they ensure that team members
are working on the correct tasks? Different parts of the
organization answer those questions, and each has its own
tools and processes. So how do organizations manage the
full lifecycle of a project or product across those communities
and tools? Integrating those disparate applications is the
key to success. Planview Enterprise integrates with IBM®
Rational® Focal Point™ and IBM® Rational Team Concert™.
Portfolio managers use IBM Rational Focal Point to prioritize
initiatives. Project managers use Planview to plan and track
all projects and resources. Development managers track
detailed coding assignments in the same tool the teams use
for development. This session explores customer use cases
and demos this comprehensive three-level planning and

Certified IT Specialist
Caixa Econômica Federal has a complex software
development environment with more than 1,500 people. It
is a geographically distributed environment in three different
Brazilian cities. The company executives need to gather
metrics and indicators collected automatically to support
their decision-making process. Many times software
development organizations are not seen as a source of
business benefits. In general it happens because software
development and IT metrics are not linked to business
metrics and dashboards. This presentation highlights how
Caixa Economica created a business dashboard using
IBM® Rational® Insight to demonstrate the value of the
software development organization. This presentation also
demonstrates the Caixa Economica metrics pyramid from
business metrics to IT metrics to software development
metrics. This presentation shows some best practices on
metrics identification and modeling using IBM Rational Insight
in this complex deployment scenario.

Bank of Canada Deploys IBM® Rational® Focal Point™
to Drive Its Application Portfolio Management Initiative
Stefan Zaichkowski, Bank of Canada, Assistant Director,
Enterprise Portfolio Management; Roger Le Blanc, IBM,
Strategic Offerings Lead
Following the 2008 global recession, Bank of Canada
realized it needed to improve its overall efficiency and agility,
so it decided to launch a strategic application portfolio
management (APM) initiative. In support of this initiative, the
bank implemented IBM® Rational® Focal Point™ to create a
comprehensive picture of its existing technology roadmap.
IBM Rational Focal Point provided portfolio management
capabilities and an integration with IBM® Rational® System
Architect®, which was also being deployed at the bank.
This session discusses the journey to implement the APM
initiative and highlights some of the key benefits realized.
These included a reduction of supported applications from
600 to 147 and a reduction in service level agreements from
17 to 4, which dramatically improved IT staff productivity and
provided greater visibility, helping improve long-term planning
and development of roadmaps, budgets, and change
management.

Lower Costs and Increase Business Agility Through
Application Portfolio Management
Per Kroll, IBM, Application Portfolio Management Architect
Most organizations spend 70-90 percent of their funds
keeping lights on, making it difficult to fund projects needed
to grow and transform the business. Application portfolio
management (APM) aims at analyzing an operational
application portfolio to identify initiatives that will reduce
the cost and improve the business agility of that portfolio.
This session walks through a pragmatic approach to APM,
including criteria that can be used to determine how to
rationalize and modernize a portfolio, which applications
to move to the cloud, which applications would benefit
from streamlining of service level agreements, and which
applications need compliance remediation. Presenters
demonstrate how IBM® Rational® Focal Point™ and other IBM
Rational tools can be used to aid in decision making. They
walk through case studies showcasing what companies have
accomplished by adopting APM.

Application Portfolio Management in the Context of
Enterprise Architecture in a Large Nordic Bank
Morgan Björkander, Danske Bank, Enterprise Architect
As part of a newly-created enterprise architecture
and strategy function in the bank, application portfolio
management works in conjunction with project portfolio
management to revise and realize the IT strategy. This
presentation describes the setup used to achieve this.
Initial steps focus on establishing an architecture overview
to ensure a common understanding of the application
portfolio across the organization, essentially consisting
of an application inventory that highlights critical system
dependencies. The main goal is to support decision-making
based on application health assessments, where both
business and technical aspects are taken into account to
help determine the needs for application modernization
and platform renovation, and to manage how investments
are distributed. A large part of the application portfolio
management relies on a set of architecture boards that are all
part of a federated governance model under the oversight of
an enterprise architecture council.

High Performance Product Management
Colin Williams, IBM, Rational Tiger Team for Product
Development
In today’s business environment, organizations are required
to perform on a global basis, entering new markets, driving
global operations, and succeeding in creating a portfolio that
is market driven and running at a high return on investment.
One aspect of achieving this is through high-performance
product management and the utilization of the power of
information and data around portfolio and processes to make
accurate decisions, govern activities, and optimize actions.
On average, product managers spend more than 50 percent
of their working day gathering, sorting, compiling, and
presenting data and information in the collaborative cobweb
of their operations. This information is often business critical
and there is a very large risk that the quality of what is
presented in forums like a product council lacks the accuracy
of what is happening in reality. More than often, decisions are
made on more guess work than real-time facts.

Use of a Decision Framework to Drive Alignment
Across Critical Business and Engineering Roles
Gary DeGregorio, Decision Innovation, Inc.,
CTO & Co-Founder
Currently, enterprises of all sizes have no framework from
which to organize and manage all the decisions across the
business and/or its roles. This makes it extremely difficult to
understand how any one decision is influenced or impacted
by previously made decisions. In addition, there is an inability
to manage the consequences of key decisions across
the enterprise, and over time, making strategic alignment
accidental instead of by design. Since strategy development,
business planning, portfolio management, and engineering
are key application areas that are fundamental to long-term
business success, improvements in decision management
drive superior results in the individual roles and the alignment
and leverage of work across the roles. This presentation
focuses on the key decisions that support and drive
project portfolio management and discusses how strategic
alignment is achieved through the decision framework.
Where possible, customer examples are provided.

traceability, and poor project visibility. This often results in
organizations “doing the wrong things” and “doing things
wrong,” with associated higher costs, project delays, and
lower quality. Breaking down these silos can be enabled
by providing a collaborative platform where the whole
organization can prioritize, share, and govern delivery.
The result is better informed decision making at all levels
and greatly improved communications and traceability
between teams, which drives greater delivery efficiency and
effectiveness and an overall increase in the business value
created by delivery teams.

The Benefits of Well-Managed Requirement
Traceability
Edward J. Gentry, IBM, RDM Web Client Architect; Muhtar
Burak Akbulut, IBM, Development Manager
The specification and realization of complex hardware and
software systems produces many artifacts. From high-
level product features and user requirements to system
requirements and verification requirements, the value of these
artifacts lies not only in their content but more importantly
in the relationship between them. These relationships show
how each component of the system relates to the whole
system. Properly managed traceability saves development
resources and time. Since each artifact is linked to their
dependent artifact, change and impact analysis is more
accurate and simpler. Artifacts without links to the user
requirements can be identified and eliminated, decreasing
overall development costs. Changes in higher level artifacts
can make dependent artifacts suspect, helping to effectively
manage changes in the system. Overall well-managed
traceability helps keep the forest in view despite the
many trees.

Getting any software development team to effectively scale
to meet the needs of a large integration project is harder
than it sounds. For a large automotive retailer in Florida, this
is exactly what was needed–-a large amount of integration
to be built between its new point-of-sale system and its
new SAP back-end. This integration had to be built cost
effectively within ambitious timescales to meet business
goals. It requires a certain level of organization for an effective
team—one of the key tenets of a software factory. But
even then, good organization is only going to go so far. For
a software factory to be really efficient, and cost effective,
requires the right tools. Hear how IBM® Rational® Software

Getting Requirements Right with Model-Based
Functional Analysis
Edmund J. Mayer, IBM, Rational Systems Practice Lead
Requirements definition is a critical part of the development
lifecycle, but it is common for system-level requirements
to be inconsistent and incomplete. The IBM® Rational®
solution for systems and software engineering provides
process guidance and tooling for model-based system
functional analysis. By visualizing requirements, engineers
have a better understanding of intended behavior. The IBM
Rational solution does not replace traditional approaches,
but instead applies modeling in a non-implementation way to
refine and improve upon system requirements. The outcome
is requirements that have been validated through model
execution and the avoidance of costly specification errors.

vulnerability, the true nature of the risk it introduces, and
some new terminology and updated definitions about what
differentiates a DOM-based XSS vulnerability from the well-
understood Stored and Reflected XSS. It will then discuss
the difficulties that security analysts face when trying to find
DOM-based XSS flaws and provide recommended analysis
techniques that help move DOM-based XSS discovery from
an art towards more of a science. And finally, it will discuss
simple techniques for avoiding DOM-based XSS issues as
well as how to mitigate issues that are uncovered during a

IBM Research Global Technology Outlook
Gabi Zodik, IBM, Department Group Manager (DGM),
Software and Services
Since 1992, IBM Research has marshaled the unique
capabilities of its global community of 3,000 scientists to
create the Global Technology Outlook (GTO). The GTO is
a comprehensive analysis that looks 5-10 years into the
future and considers the cultural and business contexts in
which new technology will be used and the impacts it will
have on IBM, its customers, and the world. In the past, it
has predicted trends such as autonomic computing, the
implications of pervasive connectivity, and the potential of
nanotechnology in systems development. Inside IBM, the
results of the GTO are used to determine areas of focus
and investment. Externally, it is shared broadly with a
range of IT influencers, including clients, academics, and
even competitors, through education and client briefings.
Throughout the process of creating the GTO, IBM Research
takes an unflinching look at trends that often extend well
outside of IBM’s own offerings. Attendees get an unvarnished
view of the GTO.

Smarter Systems Engineering—How Analytics are
Transforming the Role of Today’s Systems Engineers
Amit Fisher, IBM, Senior Manager, Business and Systems
Solution, IBM Research ; Asaf Adi, IBM, Manager, Simplified
Middleware & Tools
When designing the complex systems of tomorrow, systems
engineers have to deal with a vast number of subsystems
and components. These systems require large teams of
engineers working years to conceive, design, implement,
and maintain them. The engineering processes have become
extremely expensive and complex, and regularly exceed the
capacity of human “processing.” The role and importance
of the modern systems engineer is rapidly changing from
“design as an art” to “computational engineering,” in
which advanced technologies are applied to address the
complexity, multi-domain, and multi-scale challenges of 21st
century systems. This talk provides an overview of leading-
edge research directions and client projects in this area.
Presenters highlight new methods and algorithms to allow
systems optimization, simulation, verification, validation, and
testing. Early results from research projects with UTC, Airbus,
and IAI are shared with the audience.

Weaver—Advanced Development/Test Platform for
Integrated Infrastructure Development
Florian Rosenberg, IBM, Research Staff Member; Tamar
Eilam, IBM, Senior Manager and Research Staff Member
The industry has a pressing need to streamline software
delivery to reduce cost and time-to-market. However,
inefficiencies in IT operations lead to extraordinary long
release and low quality. This is rooted in the misalignment
incentives between development and operations teams
(maximize function versus maximize uptime). DevOps is
an industrial trend approach to better align the practices,
methods, and tools for software development and IT
operations. In this session, presenters describe the basic
IBM DevOps capabilities and the advanced IBM Research
capabilities. The advanced capabilities developed as part
of the Weaver project include an approach for adding
semantics to the application and infrastructures models by
providing a higher-level domain-specific language (DSL). The
available semantics enables impact analysis and pre- and
post-deployment validation checks to reduce the number of
potential problems that can occur during deployment.

Imagine Clear Diagnostics on a Cloudy Day
Matthew Arnold, IBM, Research Staff Member; Peter
Sweeney, IBM, Research Staff Member; Erik Altman, IBM,
Manager and Research Staff Member
IBM Research has developed a cloud-based tool for
performance diagnostics in cloud and other environments.
The tool is Whole-system Analysis of Idle Time, or “WAIT” for
short. Indeed WAIT helps find critical places where enterprise
workloads wait unnecessarily and harm performance. WAIT
has been used internally in IBM for more than 2.5 years by
more than 700 IBMers on six continents. WAIT is seamless
to use: it requires no changes to other software, no particular
versions of software, and no changes to deployment scripts
or command line options. Despite WAIT’s low touch and
fast time-to-value, WAIT can diagnose many common
problems, including lock contention, memory leaks, file I/O,
database bottlenecks, and too many or too few CPUs in an
elastic cloud. From the high-level problem, WAIT has many
drilldowns, including to code stacks, thread pools, and who
wrote problem code. WAIT reports can be shared via the URL.

Exploiting Application Assets: Using Legacy GUI Test
Scenarios for Quantitative Usability Testing
Rachel Bellamy, IBM, Research Staff Member; Bonnie E.
John, IBM, Research Staff Member; Peter Santhanam, IBM,
Senior Manager, Software Engineering
Only a small percent of business applications are developed
from a clean slate. So, developers must find ways to improve
an existing application through its many versions to meet
the increasing user demands and competitive pressures.
Presenters outline a method and tooling for quantitative
evaluation of an existing application user interface by
exploiting the legacy GUI test scenarios captured by tools
such as IBM® Rational® Functional Tester. They perform an
automatic UI-model extraction from the screens touched
by a test scenario and create storyboards and a usability
model. From an analysis of the model, they infer alternative
task paths beyond the original test scenario. Quantitative
metrics produced from the usability model can be used
for competitive evaluation or to evaluate proposed design
ideas versus the existing version. Preliminary feedback from
designers reveals that the approach resonates well with a key
pain point in real-world software application development.

Multicore: Design Matters When Cores Multiply
Neil Patterson, IBM, Marketing Manager – Design,
Development & Deployment; Martin R. Bakal, IBM, WW
Offering Manager, Electronics Industry
As multi-core processors become more pervasive, the
demands on organizations developing software for these
systems rapidly increase. The advantages of multi-core
architectures are many and include higher performance,
lower power consumption, lower cost, and more flexibility,
but these can only be realized if the corresponding software
is developed to unlock these benefits. Software is truly key
to delivering innovation in today’s multicore-based products.
More importantly, software and the needs of software
are now the drivers in determining the optimal multi-core
architecture for these products. The only way to handle the
complexity in this new environment is through a development
approach that allows early assessment of alternative designs,
automated generation of configurations and code to support
design decisions, and reuse with refactoring of existing
software optimized for the new multicore-centered
product architecture.

Tracing Test Cases to Non-Traditional Requirements
Jeffrey R. Cohen, IBM, Rational Specialty Architect
Traditionally engineers capture high-level requirements in text
to develop documents such as a CONOPS or SSDD. They
derive requirements for each subsystem and capture them
in detailed documents. As teams move toward specifying
systems with model-based systems engineering, they use
model artifacts to capture the key system concepts. Good
practice requires maintaining end-to-end traceability from
requirements to test. However, the traditional practice of
tracing test cases to textual requirements breaks down when
activity diagrams, sequence diagrams, and state charts
are used to specify the system’s behavior. This session
discusses a process where test cases are traced through
various model-based requirements artifacts. It shows how
to specify the system behavior in IBM® Rational® Rhapsody®
and expose that behavior with Remote Deployment Manager,
use IBM® Rational® Quality Manager to manage the test
cases, and use IBM® Rational® DOORS® to maintain the end-
to-end traceability.

Capturing and Managing Architectural Requirements
Paula White, IBM, Senior Technical Architect
Capturing requirements has always been difficult. Capturing
architectural requirements is particularly difficult. Today, this
is even more important than ever before. Thankfully, in the
context of iterative and evolutionary lifecycles, there are
some additional opportunities for feedback and learning that
can help. This session looks at the current trends that make
architectural requirements so important. Discover a systematic
approach to gathering architectural requirements primarily in
the context of an iterative or evolutionary approach, common
pitfalls to avoid, and tools and techniques that can be adopted
to help de-risk projects. This approach can help in finding
and managing those elusive and essential parts of a system’s
specification, executable behavior and evolutionary abilities.

Agile Systems Engineering
Bruce Douglass, IBM, Chief Evangelist
The arrival of the SysML modeling language changed the
face of systems engineering from a process of creating and
reviewing documents to the construction, analysis, and
execution of high-fidelity systems models. This evolution of
systems engineering has resulted in improved requirements
specification, better architectural definition, and better
hand-off to downstream engineering, including mechanical,
electrical, and software development. Agile methods have
proven successful in the software domain, but how can
these incremental, iterative, and agile methods be applied
to systems engineering? Bruce Powel Douglass, author of
Real-Time Agility, talks about how agile methods have had a
tremendous impact on the development of embedded and
real-time software and how to best gain the advantages of
agile methods within the systems engineering domain.

How Security Can Enable Your Business
Patrick Vandenberg, IBM, Program Director, IBM Security
Segment Marketing; Steve Robinson, IBM, VP Development,
Strategy and Product Management
For IT security to be optimized, it must be integrated
with existing technology infrastructure, investments, and
processes. Integration builds bridges across and between
“security silos,” reducing risks. For example, vulnerability
data discovered in a core application can automatically feed
into network protection devices, providing near real-time
updates on vulnerabilities. Security is more than technology;
it’s about understanding business processes and driving and
Application Security
Industry research, combined with high profile breaches, have illustrated that vulnerable applications
remain a dominant threat to today’s organizations. As online business grows, new challenges for
meeting application security and compliance emerge, resulting in the need for greater security
measures. Traditional reactive or manual security assessment approaches are cost prohibitive,
fall short of effectively protecting an organization, and cannot facilitate ongoing compliance
requirements. Security needs to be built in from the beginning, not bolted on as an afterthought,
and must be considered from the early stages of development throughout the final phases
of implementation. This track focuses on the fundamentals of application security—analysis
techniques, innovations, and best practice approaches for integrating security testing across the
development lifecycle. Emerging threats and common attack types are also explored. This track is

continuous integration approaches. Security scanning
products tend to overwhelm continuous integration minded
developers with a large quantity of findings and underwhelm
the developers with the quality of these findings. This
session takes a real-world look at how to automate security
source code scanning as part of continuous integration and
identifies common problems in this solution. This session
presents an automated source code scanning deployment
methodology that allows organizations to automatically
reduce false positives and deliver reports that represent the
high confidence security risk of the latest software changes.

Allstate Case Study: Better Managing Security Risks in
Software Development Lifecycle with People, Process,
Technology Using IBM® Rational® AppScan®
Kenny Alperstein, Allstate Insurance, Security Architect;
Yabing Wang, Allstate Insurance Company, Sr. Manager, Sr.
Security Architect
To better manage security risks in its applications, Allstate
launched an application security assurance program (ASAP)
to integrate security into Allstate software development
lifecycle (SDLC) processes. This approach takes a holistic
view to incorporate people, process, and technology, and
brings enforcement, governance, and compliance to truly
make this program alive. The success of the program launch
has reduced the creation of vulnerabilities in the applications,
helped leadership to better understand and manage the
risks, and ultimately improved the security posture in the
company. At the same time, the mentality of “security is part
of the SDLC” has reduced the remediation cost via process
improvements and by introducing IBM® Rational® AppScan®
Source into the build phase of SDLC.

Source Edition Is Working to Make It Simple
Jeff Turnham, IBM, Development Manager, AppScan Source
Edition; Steve Carlucci, IBM, Architect/Development Lead,
AppScan Source Edition
Most organizations understand that application security
vulnerabilities represent critical threats to their reputation
and bottom line. However, most of these organizations also
lack the expertise, process, or tooling to find and remediate
these vulnerabilities. This session outlines the current
application security landscape, the most critical threats,
and best practices for mitigating these risks. In particular,
presenters demonstrate how IBM® Rational® AppScan®
Source Edition can be used to uncover, understand, and
remediate security issues in source code. They focus on best
practice workflows and how the product team is constantly
working to streamline the process of configuration analysis
scans to get solid actionable results. The discussion should
be valuable to users who are new to security analysis, as well
as long-time users of the product.

Most developers have some level of awareness of application
security, and most development teams aspire to some
form of application lifecycle management (ALM). What
development teams have not addressed, however, is the
role that ALM can play in reducing the cost of being secure.
This presentation demonstrates the benefits that an ALM

War Games—Learning and Defeating
Application Defenses
Lotem Guy, IBM, Security Researcher
XSS vulnerabilities are everywhere. New technologies, such
as HTML5, bring about new attack vectors. Attacks are
becoming more and more sophisticated. Organizations are
asking if their scanners are smart enough to deal with this.
A new IBM technology revolutionizes DAST scanning by
breaking the mold. Instead of simply sending a bulk of pre-
canned tests, the new “XSS Analyzer” module actually learns
application defenses and then generates a step-by-step
exploit that is specifically crafted to defeat those defenses.
This allows an unprecedented level of detection rate for
vulnerabilities that no older-generation scanner can find. In this
session, presenters outline this exciting new technology, how it
works, and why DAST scanning will never be the same.

Security for Mobile Applications
Salvatore Guarnieri, IBM, Software Engineer
Mobile applications are increasing in popularity, both for
users and attackers. Mobile applications can be very useful,
but they also pose as a new attack vector. They interact
directly with users, contain confidential information for a
business and an individual, and often communicate with
servers during the course of their execution. The bugs and
attacks highlighted in the media suggest that one major
cause for problems in mobile applications is a lack of
understanding of security issues in development. Since there
are several application types in the mobile environment, IBM®
Rational® AppScan® provides several tools that developers
can use to identify security problems in their code. These
tools range from scanning the server code responsible
for sending data to and receiving data from the mobile
application to scanning code that runs natively on the smart
phone. This session will cover security problems in mobile
applications and how to use IBM Rational AppScan to
detect them.

Agile Practices and IBM® System z® Development:
A Customer Case Study
Joseph Rounceville, Nationwide Insurance, Director, IT App
Development; Chris Trobridge, IBM, Product Line Manager
Traditional software development methods don’t dictate
how frequently or regularly teams integrate all the source
code on a project. Programmers can work separately for
days or even weeks on the same code without realizing
how many conflicts (and perhaps bugs) they are generating.
Because they are producing robust code with each iteration,
agile teams find that they are slowed down by the long
resolution and debugging sessions that occur at the end
of long integration cycles. For these reasons, agile teams
often choose to use continuous integration. For teams doing
traditional IBM® System z® development (COBOL/IBM®
CICS®/IMS) that are adopting agile, achieving automated
continuous integration comes with a number of challenges,
but the promises inherent to it remain an enticing objective.
This session discusses Nationwide Insurance’s experience in
mapping continuous integration concepts used in distributed
development to the IBM System z domain —both successes
and remaining challenges.

IBM® CICS®: From Waterfall to Agile—A One-Year
Retrospective
N. L. Hopper, IBM, CICS Platform Focus Team Leader
IBM® CICS® has been developed for over 40 years using
the most current best practices. In 2005, the IBM CICS
team moved to using iterative development, and then in
2009, the team started the migration to IBM Rational tools
for a single end-to-end development environment. In June
2011, this transformation was completed when the IBM
CICS TS for IBM® z/OS® product was developed (and now
maintained) using IBM® Rational Team Concert™. In addition,
for effective requirement management, IBM CICS customers
can now open requirements to the IBM CICS team using
IBM® Rational® Requirement Composer for elaboration, and
these requirements then are synchronized with IBM Rational
Team Concert for further evaluation by the CICS team.
Come learn how this team has moved even further with its
implementation, as members discuss the reasons for the
move, the challenges in getting there, the benefits realized,
and some of the innovation being delivered using IBM
Rational solutions.

Application Portfolio Management in Action—
Improving Business Agility while Reducing Costs
James R. Slade, IBM, Executive IT Consultant,
Rational Tiger team
Most organizations spend 70-90 percent of their software
budget maintaining the current application portfolio. This
makes it difficult to fund the projects needed to grow and
transform the business. Application portfolio management
(APM) helps organizations better manage application
portfolio investments and identify software initiatives that will
improve business agility and reduce software maintenance
costs. This session walks through the IBM Rational approach
to enterprise APM and how it will help organizations
determine application modernization strategies that lead
to rapid reductions of costs and improved business agility.
Presenters demonstrate how IBM® Rational® Focal Point™
together with other IBM Rational tools can be used to aid in
decision-making.

IBM® Rational® solutions, tools, and processes. The participant will be able to see the Rational
solutions come to life by experiencing a complete usage scenario of the IBM Rational Solution
with simulated, but real-world data and assets, to accelerate their Rational solution and tool-usage
expertise. The open lab workshop scenarios complement the learning from the speaker sessions
by offering a list of scenarios for the participant to select and work through at their own pace.
Innovate staff is available in the workshop room to assist the users. Open Lab workshops are open
to all Innovate attendees at no additional cost. Sponsored by:

Enterprise Software Delivery: Balancing Agility and
Efficiency in the Global Software Supply Chain
Alan Brown, Distinguished Engineer & CTO Europe,
IBM Rational
In enterprise organizations, software delivery is essential
for the efficient and stable delivery of core capabilities to
the business, and it is the driving force for the innovation
and differentiation of new services and products to the
market. Businesses are enhancing their own enterprise
software delivery organizations with systems integrators
and technology partners to create centers of excellence
and capability centers that specialize in delivering value to
the business. This is called a software factory approach to
solution development.
At the same time, enterprise organizations are demanding
rapid innovation and evolution of existing enterprise software
solutions to support deployment to new platforms, address
new market needs, and overcome competitive threats. While
standardization using software factories helps reduce cost
and improve predictability of enterprise software delivery,
agile ways to approach innovation are essential for solution
differentiation and to enhance the value delivered to the
enterprise’s clients. Significant invention, adaptation, and
flexibility is essential in research and development activities to
drive forward the solutions brought to market, and to improve
the services made available. Yet we often find these aspects
to be in conflict with the needs for efficiency and control.

Analyst, Ovum; Sky Matthews, CTO Systems Solutions,
IBM Rational; David Mitchell, VP, Siemens PLM Software
Product Development; Kurt Sand, Program Director, Product
Management & Strategy, IBM Rational; Brian Wells, VP,
Corporate Engineering, Raytheon
To stay ahead of competition, product manufacturers are
increasingly relying on software to provide the functionality
that differentiates their products from the rest of the field.
The increase in software seen only over the last few years
is forcing significant changes in product development. A
traditional mechanical-centric approach to product definition
is no longer sufficient to model the complexity inherent in
today’s software-intensive products.
Product development organizations are now seeing an
increased need for greater interaction across engineering
disciplines, particularly between software engineering and
electrical/electronics engineering. This panel, featuring
experts from Raytheon, INCOSE, Ovum, Siemens PLM,
IBM and others, will investigate the impact of this trend
on product development, and discuss solutions for using
a systems engineering approach to converge engineering
disciplines, particularly early in product development when
the cost of change is relatively low.

Agile Metrics: How Do You Know You’re Becoming
More Agile?
Mike O’Rourke, VP, Offering Strategy & Delivery, IBM
Rational; Walker Royce, Chief Software Economist,
IBM Rational
Many organizations are transitioning to agile development
methodologies to increase quality and improve cycle times.
As Ken Schwaber has noted: “Agile development will not
solve any of your problems, it will just make them so painfully
visible that ignoring them is harder.” Becoming more agile is
a popular means to an end, but how do you measure those
means so that you predictably improve business outcomes?
Are your project assessments exposing true progress
and quality trends? Or, are you encouraging dysfunctional
measurement behaviors which dilute the open and honest
communications you need in an emerging agile culture?
This discussion will spotlight lessons learned in measuring
progress, quality, and productivity in an agile transformation.
Monday, 4:15pm – 5:15pmEXEC-2343 Swan 9
Virtualization—A Key Ingredient for Improving Quality
and Business Agility
Peter Cole, Director of Quality Management, IBM Rational
Taking advantage of market place opportunities is key to
business success. Successful organizations require that their
software development teams quickly assemble innovative
solutions to establish competitive advantage. In meeting
demands, composite applications are being deployed
connecting legacy and new software or services developed
in house or provided by other sources. However, testing
these interconnected and interdependent components is
creating a new set of challenges in one’s pursuit of increasing
quality. It could actually be said that testing has become the
new Agile development bottleneck with delays, inefficiencies,
and labor resources are all contributing to a single
outcome—the cost of testing is still rising. While you have
probably heard quality cannot be tested in, you can improve
your testing process achieving an increased level of quality
and consumer satisfaction. Attend this session to hear how
virtualization of dependent software and services can help
you balance quality and speed, reduce your testing costs,
and help to make quality a responsibility shared by all.

If Product Quality Is an Afterthought, It’s Too Late!
Phil Hester, Senior Vice President of R&D, National
Instruments; Jeffrey Schmitz, Vice President, Networks and
Applications, Spirent Communications
Product quality used to be a differentiator. Today, however,
it’s an expectation. But we know that increasing development
time or cost is not an option. Somehow, we must build in
quality from the earliest stages of product development and
ensure it by working smarter, not harder.
In this session, learn from National Instruments, Spirent, and
IBM how to build in and deliver the quality your customers
demand while reducing development costs and meeting your
risk and time-to-market objectives.

When Technology Is Not Enough
Chuck Ratigan, Director of Services, IBM Rational;
Kurt Sand, Program Director, Product Management &
Strategy, IBM Rational
Technology is powerful. It can lead to tremendous benefits,
or it can become a stumbling block to an otherwise savvy
company if not properly used to address specific business
needs. Today’s leading companies are not only implementing
the latest technology tools, but they are also adopting
best practices to ensure that technology that they acquire
adequately addresses their business objectives. Join industry
and practice leaders from IBM to learn about best practices
for accelerating development, establishing repeatable
processes, and introducing organization change that impacts
the bottom line.
Tuesday, 1:45pm – 2:45pmEXEC-2347 Swan 9
Architecting for the Cloud
Jamie Thomas, VP, Development & Strategy, IBM Tivoli
The first “Optimizing the World’s Infrastructure” will be
delivered hosted by Jamie Thomas, IBM’s Vice President
of Strategy and Development for IBM® Tivoli®. You can see
from the title of this session just how comprehensive IBM’s
perspective is; what you may not realize is that the IBM
Tivoli portfolio backs up that perspective with a similarly
comprehensive range of the capabilities you need to achieve
superior visibility, control, and automation in your business
operations.
Attendees will be taken through that portfolio, touching on
recent IBM innovations that reflect the emerging needs and
interests of IBM customers today. As organizations strive to
create a competitive distinction—really standing out from
the pack by delivering top-tier, in-demand services—IBM
is empowering them by helping them drive up service
performance and availability and drive down business costs
and risks. Also discussed will be particular case studies
in which IBM clients have already achieved some of these
goals, becoming more agile both in creating new business
strategies and in executing them via the IT infrastructure.

Secure Application Development in an Increasingly

Dan Hannigan, Senior Vice President, Sogeti; Steve
Robinson, VP, Development & Product Management,
IBM Security
Security has become one of the most discussed topics with
IBM clients and the net message to us has been, “Help us
to do security differently. Help us to do it smarter.” IBM is
raising the bar in security—helping our clients keep pace with
emerging threats while optimizing and simplifying their overall
security posture. This panel discussion will cover:
Security intelligence applied to the application domain
Application security by design
Application security as an enabler for cloud, mobility,
and new innovations

Building Next Generation Enterprise Systems Skills
Moderator: Phil Weintraub, VP, North America Software
Sales, IBM; Carmen DeArdo, Director of Application
Development, Nationwide; Dave Dischiave, Professor,
Global Enterprise Technology Program, Syracuse University;
Jonathan Sayles, Business Application Developer, IBM;
Eric Simone, Founder and CEO, ClearBlade
There is a perception in the marketplace that as baby
boomers retire, it will be difficult to replace their IT skills
(COBOL, client/server, legacy architecture, institutional
knowledge, etc). Various surveys have highlighted the
increasing need to groom the next generation of enterprise
development skills as existing staff begins to leave the
workforce. How do you retain your current staff who have
the domain knowledge, while attracting and integrating new
talent with very little experience in traditional development
tools and processes? Hear from members of the Academic
163
Initiative, IBM customers and Business Partners who have
successfully leveraged the Enterprise skills building, training
and awareness programs within their organizations in
bridging skills gaps including addressing growing need for
cloud, mobile, and agile methodologies.

You Need an “App for That”: Cost Effective Mobile
Application Development and Delivery
Leigh Williamson, Distinguished Engineer, Rational CTO Team
Mobile Strategy Leader, IBM Rational
You and your customers are demanding mobile access to
your business. You need to meet that demand immediately
with compelling, easy-to-use mobile apps that attract
your target audience. But you need to create these mobile
apps at a reasonable cost in a constantly changing mobile
landscape. The wrong choice of implementation and
tools can delay projects, drive up costs, and prevent you
from meeting changing customer needs. We’ll discuss
these challenges and how IBM can help optimize your
development organization, processes, and tools to deliver
the right app at the right time and at the lowest cost.

Elizabeth Woodward, Research Scientist, IBM
Join Industry pundits, Senior Development Executives from
Customers, and IBM Agile Transformational leaders in a
lively “debate” on the challenges and successes surrounding
implementing programs, governance, and measuring
success (or failure) of complex, distributed agile projects.
Join other executives sharing their experiences in areas such
as governance in software supply chains, agile implications
for HR, budgeting and measuring agile projects, and best
practices for leadership of agile teams. Due to the open,
honest and brave nature of this discussion, attendance will
be limited to 50 attendees (only Executive Summit members
invited).

The Next Generation of Risk-Aware Business Cases—
Rational and Customers are Using it Now!
Kamal Bherwani, Chief Digital Officer, Grupo Prisa SA;
Murray Cantor, Business Strategist, IBM Rational; Michael
Rowe, Distinguished Engineer and CTO Office, IBM Rational
Managing a complex portfolio of software development
projects must account for the uncertainty of markets,
customers, and the development process. IBM Rational,
like its customers, face investment decisions in the face of
several kinds of uncertainty:
Competitive Landscape
Evolving Customer/user needs and regulations
Costs to create and the benefits (both monetary and
non-monetary) of new products or IT capabilities
Even so, we expect the business case to be populated with
firm values. And so, the cases we build have low credibility.
It is especially challenging to build credible business cases
for potentially high value, innovative efforts. IBM Rational
provides the Investment Analytsis capability in Focal Point—
a tool for building and tracking credible, probability-based
business cases for risky, uncertain investments.
Mr. Kamal Bherwani will describe why and how he used
the tool as well as his vision for better managing innovation.
Further, Michael Rowe will describe Rational’s adoption of the
tool for building business cases.
Finally, we will share our lessons learned from these
experiences and will highlight the recent customer-driven
additions to Focal Point.

Leveraging Cloud to Transform Software Delivery
Ashok Reddy, IBM, Director, Offering Strategy & Delivery,
Cloud; John Penoyer, Panasonic, Group Manager,
Engineering; Scott Farnum, McDonald’s Corporation,
Global Infrastructure Leader
Organizations keep hearing how the evolution of cloud in IT
computing models can provide revolutionary implications
for business, including being more efficient, with greater
flexibility, and with lower costs. What’s reality and what’s
hype? This session will explore the most common adoption
patterns for cloud, identify how IBM can help, and reveal
how several organizations handled the move, overcame
challenges, and successfully moved to cloud to streamline
and enhance the work of their software developers and
delivery professionals. Leveraging cloud can help you and
your teams throughout the lifecycle—in development, test,
staging, and production.

Best Practices in Enterprise Modernization
Tim Hahn, Distinguished Engineer and Chief Architect,
IBM Rational; Richard Moran, VP, Architecture, Fidelity
Investments; Phil Murphy, Analyst, Forrester Research; Rick
Slade, Executive IT Consultant, Tiger Team, IBM Rational
Poor alignment between the IT strategy and the business
strategy, high application maintenance costs and
inflexible, aging, and poorly integrated IT systems or lack
of collaboration among different development teams are
some of the common challenges organizations are trying to
address as part of their enterprise modernization initiatives.
Join our enterprise modernization panel of experts to hear
about their experiences in how they have been able to
help drive down the overall cost of computing while
improving productivity and infrastructure efficiency through
application modernization, portfolio rationalization, and
adoption of modern tools and processes as part of their
modernization efforts.
