OMG recently published the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud Computing discussion paper. This discussion paper, created by OMG’s Cloud Working Group and endorsed by OMG’s AI Platform Task Force, explores the symbiotic relationship between AI and cloud computing. The paper focuses on how cloud platforms have enabled AI's growth and how AI, in turn, has improved cloud services. It highlights key considerations, options, risks, and benefits for organizations seeking to leverage cloud-based AI services and offers a roadmap for successful implementation. “Cloud computing and AI, including the emerging field of Generative AI (GenAI), developed as distinct technologies over time,” said Claude Baudoin, Owner and Principal at cébé IT & Knowledge Management LLC and co-chair of the OMG Cloud Working Group. “Still, the fusion of AI and the cloud allows organizations to use AI in a way previously hindered by limited on-premises computing resources. Cloud platforms have become the backbone for hosting many AI systems. They democratize access to vast computational resources, facilitating rapid development and deployment.” Download PDF or Word: https://bit.ly/3QyaCWs #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #CloudComputing #GenerativeAI

Now on YouTube: "OMG Modeling Foundations: Past, Present & Future" Ed Seidewitz, Model Driven Solutions, Inc. and Chair, OMG Foundations Special Interest Group Object Management Group (OMG) modeling language standards include the Unified Modeling Language (#UML), the Systems Modeling Language (#SysML), the Business Process Modeling Notation (#BPMN), the Unified Architecture Framework (#UAF), and many more. Underlying all these specifications is the foundational Meta Object Facility (#MOF) standard, first adopted by OMG in 1997 along with #UML1. Since that first version, MOF has evolved with UML up to the current versions of MOF 2.5.1 and UML 2.5.1. In this clip, Ed describes the MOF foundation and it's origins. The long-awaited second version of SysML, adopted by OMG in 2023, is also built on MOF. However, unlike previous versions of SysML, SysML 2.0 is not based on UML. Instead, it is based on a new Kernel Modeling Language (KerML), which adds important foundational capabilities for specifying the formal semantics of modeling languages. And now there is discussion of also defining a new UML 3.0 that is also based on KerML. But MOF is itself based on UML, so would UML 3.0 also necessitate MOF 3.0? How can OMG maintain the stability of its current, well-tested modeling-language foundation, while continuing to promote technical innovation for the next generation of modeling languages?

New OMG Podcast! In this episode, Richard Robinson chats with OMG Chairman & CEO Bill Hoffman about his new book, "Cracking the Data Code: Pragmatics for Better Management & Governance." If you are interested in data, and why understanding language and jargon can help you crack the data code, this book is for you. If you’ve had a data challenge and have struggled to find a way to understand it, the practical foundational principles inside can help you frame your problem in a different way. And in doing so, help you crack the data code. Rich is the Chief Strategist, Open Symbology & Standards at Bloomberg; Co-Chair of the OMG's Financial Sector Domain Task Force, and an OMG Board Member. The book is now available!

Artificial Intelligence and related technologies, such as multi-agent generative AI, are transforming digital engineering, simulation, modeling, and design by enabling rapid, autonomous optimization and decision-making, reducing the need for manual intervention. To ensure that industry keeps pace and fully embraces the capabilities of AI, OMG created a cross-consortia AI Joint Working Group. This joint working group brings together the collective intelligence of the OMG community of consortia. To achieve this, the AR for Enterprise Alliance, the Digital Twin Consortium, and the OMG Standards Development Organization, aligned their AI-related activities. The joint working group will advance AI integration with digital twins and related technologies across four primary areas of expertise: 1. Standardization & Semantics 2. Interoperability & Intelligent Automation 3. eXtended Reality (AR/XR/MR) 4. Responsible AI.

Special DDS Event Next Week in Reston: "Validating Vendor Interoperability in the DDS Standard" Tuesday, March 18 | 10:00-11:00am Hyatt Regency Reston Town Center Presented by OMG and the DDS-Foundation Applications built on DDS are designed to rapidly exchange data across multiple systems based on an open publish/subscribe protocol. Seamless data sharing is at the core of the standard. To ensure vendor interoperability across DDS implementations, the OMG? DDS Special Interest Group (DDS SIG) recently conducted a series of comprehensive tests using the interoperability RTPS (Real-Time Publish Subscribe) protocol. These tests covered a wide range of DDS functionality and features across vendors. The test results and detailed reports are automatically generated in GitHub, providing specific insights into the interoperability status per vendor per feature. The DDS Foundation invites you to attend this special event to review the findings and discuss the methodology and results with the DDS SIG.

The Business Architecture Guild? and OMG? are pleased to present the 13th annual Business Architecture Innovation Summit?. March 18-20 Hyatt Regency Reston Town Center This year's Summit will again be offered as a hybrid event, with a mix of virtual and in-person sessions for speakers and attendees. One thing that continues to inspire is that, based on all indicators, there are more organizations beginning their business architecture journey today than at any time in the past. Leadership is finally beginning to shift from asking "why do we need a business architecture practice?" to "why don't we have a business architecture practice?" Regardless of where your organization is in its journey, the Innovation Summit remains the premier place to answer the call. Presenters across multiple industries and geographies will share their experiences in leveraging business architecture across a wide range of business scenarios. CEU Credit Opportunity For individuals attending the Summit, Business Architecture Associates (BAA) offers a 3.5-hour Business Architecture Primer the afternoon prior to day 1 of the Summit. The Primer is ideal for Summit attendees who are new to the discipline or just want to refresh their understanding of the topic. It is Business Architecture Guild accredited, where attendees who have obtained Certified Business Architect? (CBA?) status will receive continuing education units (CEU).
