The document discusses the development of the Cloud Interactive Ecosystem Language (CIEL) by The Open Group, aimed at visualizing complex ecosystems in cloud computing. It highlights the need for new notations to represent interactions and relationships in multi-system environments and presents various concepts, symbols, and frameworks for ecosystem modeling. CIEL seeks to augment existing modeling tools while promoting ease of use to facilitate strategic planning and communication across diverse domains and systems.

What this session is about is exploring a new way to visualize and communicate this ecosystem of systems, interactions and resources ? What is the current notations and methods ? What is CIEL as a concept ?

- 18. | Capgemini CIEL Mark Skilton Oct 2012Capgemini copyright 2012 Visualization of Ecosystems How these work is very different from 10 , 20 years ago when most modeling notations for Architecture requirements we first created. Some significant examples include: • UML It was first added to the list of OMG adopted technologies in 1997 • Business Process Modeling, • BPMN created early 2001/2 – merged with OMG in 2005 • BPEL4WS April 2003 (IBM,Microsoft, SAP, Siebel) submitted to OASIS. WS-BPEL Sept 2004. • June 2007 BPEL4People (Active Endpoints, Adobe Systems, BEA, IBM, Oracle, SAP) • ArchiMate is a technical standard from The Open Group and is based on the concepts of the IEEE 1471 standard. 2004, ownership by The Open Group 2008. Archimate 2.0 foraml technical standard January 2012 • Business Model Canvas , proposed by Alexander Osterwalder, 2004, 2010 • Value Stream mapping - a lean Manufacturing technique Rother and Shook 2003 • Software Visualization , Focused on Code quality visualization • Visual Studio, AgileJ StructureViews, Imagix 4D, Ndepend, SonarJ, Sotoarc, Code Rocket

- 22. | Capgemini CIEL Mark Skilton Oct 2012Capgemini copyright 2012 The first steps We established a new Project called CIEL – Cloud Interactive Ecosystem Language in Mid 2011 in The Open Group Cloud Computing Work Group We introduced CIEL into our own companies to test the ideas and launched initiatives to engage University and open discussion We developed ideas to understand how better to Visualize the Ecosystem Challenges: • What are the Boundaries or Domains? • How do we visualize solutions ? • How do we define the symbols ? • What problems are we trying to solve ? • How do we manage semantics , meaning of the symbols and relationships ? • How do we link with other symbols and standards ? • ..
- 23. | Capgemini CIEL Mark Skilton Oct 2012Capgemini copyright 2012 We want to define the context of the total ecosystem in the sense of internal and external forces and entities Macro Systems Micro Systems Informal Social Systems Information Systems Formal Systems Suppliers Buyers Customers Substitutes Competitors New Entrants People, Structure Technology Finance Power Business Processes Culture Strategy Social Political Economic Legal Technology Environment Markets, regions, Policies,.. Entities, resources, relationships,.. N o t a t i o n Part of our research in 2011 identifies Macro Economic and Micro Economic perspectives
- 24. | Capgemini CIEL Mark Skilton Oct 2012Capgemini copyright 2012 We can summarize our approach into three areas we are aiming at Visualization of Conceptual Domain • Position the model as a visualization method first Symbol System - Signage - Semiotics • Designing a Set of Symbols that could be easy to use Augment – fit it along side and support current architectural design styles (not replace them) • Aim to has some meaning in the symbols notation such that it supports the aims of the notation goals. We must define some Semantic notation to make the symbols meaningful We believe the key benefits is in the ability to use a new way to show Human and System communities and multiple devices, and services that represent a distributed Architectural Environment

- 30. Synthetic Spheres copyright 2012 Our aim in CIEL is to focus on the Practical Intentions of the systems and people involved using a simple notation So how can we create a new Visualization Notation ? Create Symbols Library (Semiotics) Create Visualization model (Pragmatics) Create Vocabulary of Visualization (Semantics) But just enough to support basic meaning We link to specific Semantic and Information systems Design Ease of use Focus on Multi-system Multi-use Focused at Conceptual level Aimed at Ecosystems “architectures” Core Principles
- 31. Synthetic Spheres copyright 2012 Basic CIEL example – An ecosystem may have domains and entities that interact. The example here is groups of users and resources being shared or dedicated to a group Ecosystem entity entity entity entity User Community User Community

- 33. Synthetic Spheres copyright 2012 Basic CIEL example – the ecosystem may have many relationship and interactions inside, outside and between ecosystem boundaries Ecosystem Ecosystem Ecosystem entity entity entity entity entity entity entity entity
- 34. Synthetic Spheres copyright 2012 Basic CIEL example – The Ecosystem boundary between a user group and a cloud service for example User Community Cloud Service Ecosystem Ecosystem

- 39. Synthetic Spheres copyright 2012 We have starting to build a Symbols Library Examples
- 40. Synthetic Spheres copyright 2012 Vocabulary • Ecosystem (Financial, Technical, Social, Enviro..) • Domain (Virtualization, organization, marketplace..) • Node (Connection point) • Edge Domain (Meta data) • Community • Network (open, closed, Public, Private) • Group • Connection (open , closed, Public, Private) • Information • Metric • Entity (Resource – tangible, Intangible) • .. We aim to use references to existing Terminology where possible For example in ISO JC38 In The Open Group TOGAF Or OASIS (TOSCA) is using these terms We recognize some terminology may be ambiguous and want to remove these where possible example: Boundary.
- 41. Synthetic Spheres copyright 2012 Existing notations • Our aim is to create a visualization notation that redefined how system domains are drawn to express social, agile cloud enabled ecosystems • Its intended to be a communication tool, easy to use and create visuals representations for business and IT strategic planning and communication • We aim to introduce an abstraction that is showing groups of systems, communities and services • We aim to introduce symbols that visualize specific strategic planning conceptual requirements that CIEL can help visualize. These can include symbols and model methods to visualize – Metrics for business and IT performance of a system or an entire ecosystem (example a marketplace) – status of trust of each domain (open , closed) – Sustainability and green credentials of domains and behavior • The symbol set and model relations may be potentially different to existing UML, Process and Architecture because – It aims to show visual groups of systems to systems – Its aim is to show social networks and resources groups – Its aim is to show processes but within communities and groups (not specific business process design)
- 42. | Capgemini CIEL Mark Skilton Oct 2012Capgemini copyright 2012 Conclusions Aim to develop CIEL as a Visualization aid for Strategic Ecosystem Design It “Augments” the existing methods and tools, not replace them • Help visualize Strategic Scenarios, Solution Architectures, Visualize RAs It can sit on top of formal Architecture methods , not replace it • Augment technical solution models • Augment Business Architectural design • It could be a symbol library plug in to many existing Architect tools Business Case • Its fast and ease of use to communicate large scale system of systems ideas and concept • It’s a Visual notation that is language independent and system independent • Its an accelerator to improve modeling and planning of the strategic value of Cloud enabled environments Next immediate Step: White Paper on Basic Visualization Method of CIEL and vocabulary with examples
