There are several representations of a SOA architecture that I have worked with. For the moment I  tend to use the representation of the Open Group SOA RA  :

Using Archimate this can be represented like this:

The application interface concept can be used to model both application-to-application interfaces, which offer internal application services, and application-to business interfaces (and/or user interfaces), which offer external application services.

“Quand tu vois un grand que tu connais, vas toujours  lui dire “bonjour”. Puis,  à tous ceux qui sont autour, tu leur dit aussi “Bonjour”. Et comme ça, petit à petit, tu vas te faire connaître …”

Big Process is when senior-most business and technology leaders embrace business process change by shifting the organization’s focus from isolated BPM and process improvement projects to a sustainable, enterprise-wide business process transformation program that is then supported and driven by top executives.

My customer : Today we integrate our backends with an “optometric” interface

Me : hmm?  Is it a feature of your ESB ?

My customer: “no, it means they do it with their eyes and their hands…”

I have only 1 big problem with Dimitri : he died way to soon, at 37 (29 Jan 1975 – 03 Apr 2012).

Dimitri was a great guy.

Dimi, we will miss you.

You may know I like to ride a bicycle. The weather was great after work and I decided to test Villo, the bicycle system here in Brussels.  I went from the office at the midi station to the Etterbeek station.

A nice alternative to the metro. I’ll do it often when the weather is nice.

I also just installed the villohelper app, which will probably prove to be very usefully.

On s’amuse dans le bus…

“Livre numérique : un livre est dit numérique lorsque l’ensemble qu’il constitue est originellement réalisé, sous forme de fichiers informatiques, par un ou plusieurs auteurs dont il exprime, sous une forme achevée, le discours construit avec le concours d’un éditeur. Pour être numérique, l’ouvrage ne peut être réalisé, publié, exploité et transmis que sous la forme immatérielle d’un fichier. (…) L’ouvrage numérique ne peut être lu que sur un écran, fixe ou mobile.” Définition de Jean Sarzanna et Alain Pierrot, Livre Hebdos n°798, 20 novembre 2009, p12

Le livre numérique pourait aussi être lu sur papier, s’il est imprimé…

Je fais rien et je gagne 1000 euros par mois, c’est le “Win For Life” (produit de la lotterie Belge). Bon ben j’ouvre 10 librairies sur le web alors ? ou bien 20…

Un peu plus tard…

Le libraire : “Vous pouvez pas comprendre, vous êtes pas libraire. Mr X il est spécialiste du numérique et il est libraire, il pourrait comprendre ”.

Moi :

«Si Mr X était ici à ma place, vous lui diriez quoi ? »

Le libraire :

« Moi, j’ai rien à dire à Mr X »

Difficile de comprendre quelque chose qu’on ne dit pas, non ?

That’s it.  Those three.

Strengths, Motivation, and Fit.

Prise à l’Esplanade à Louvain-La-Neuve…

Henri Volans : “The phrase which keeps coming up in my mind about ebooks is evolution” . “I have absolute certainty that we have not reached anything close to the evolutionary ideal of the ebook… I find it absolutely inconceivable that the book can’t evolve and change and grow.”

In his role at Faber, Volans commissioned the iPad edition of The Waste Land, working with partner company Touch Press on the tablet version of T.S. Eliot’s poem.

Volans picked out Thames & Hudson’s Cyclepedia iPad app as another good example of book-app innovation during his speech at the event. “It seems a good example of an e-book that does justice to an art book,” he said.

To better explore these challenges and advantages, it helps to consider a few different school library ebook-use scenarios. A common desire in K–12 buildings is to adopt ebook readers as a replacement for costly and heavy printed texts. An English department that considered making this change was stymied by the lack of availability of some of the texts on their reading list.
