Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The need for organizations to operate in changing environments is addressed by proposing an approach that integrates organizational development with information system (IS) development taking into account changes in the application context of the solution. This is referred to as Capability Driven Development (CDD). A meta-model representing business and IS designs consisting of goals, key performance indicators, capabilities, context and capability delivery patterns, is being proposed. The use of themeta-model is validated in three industrial case studies as part of an ongoing collaboration project, whereas one case is presented in the paper. Issues related to the use of the CDD approach, namely, CDD methodology and tool support are also discussed.

Deliverable 1.2 : Initial version of requirements specification for CDD
- 2013
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The CaaS project will elaborate the Capability Driven Development (CDD) approach that will allow digital enterprises to exploit the notion of 'capability' as a means of both designing for services and with services. This deliverable defines an initial set of requirements for CDD. These requirements are provided by the industrial partners through exploration of their use cases. The goal of this deliverable is to identify potential benefits that the CaaS approach could bring to the use cases as well the features to be included the CDD methodology. The requirements are elicited from the use case partners during semi-structured interviews. They are documented in a form of goal models, actor models and concept models for each partner separately. Information documented in these models is used to define envisioned capabilities to be design and delivered during the project as well as to establish the scope of each use case. The use case scope definition focuses on use case goals, causes of capability delivery variability, capability delivery context, functions to be provided in the use case as well as potential capability delivery adjustments. The use case specific models are combined together to obtain a preliminary set of general requirements for CDD. These requirements show CDD goals, types of stakeholders, types of context and types of adjustments. The deliverable ends with concluding remarks about the partners’ expectations for CDD. The requirements for the use cases described in this deliverable will be further elaborated in the final requirements document deliverable D1.4 and will be iteratively refined during the use case elaboration performed in work packages WP2, WP3 and WP4.

CaaS Deliverable 5.3 : The Final Version of Capability Driven Development Methodology
- 2016
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The overall objective of the CaaS project is to create an integrated approach consisting of methods, tools and reusable best practices that allow digital enterprises to take advantage of changes in business context and technologies. This deliverable primarily contributes to CaaS Objective 1, namely, “to elaborate a methodology and supporting methods for Capability Driven Development (CDD) which is adopted by the industrial partners involved in the project and their customers”. To this end the deliverable presents the final version of the CDD methodology, which consists of a number of method components supporting different aspects of the CDD process. More specifically, methodology components addressing capability design, enterprise and business process modelling, context modelling, supporting reuse, as well as adjusting capability delivery at run-time have been developed. Furthermore, there is a method component supporting the decision making about whether or not CDD is suitable and how to get started. The methodology also includes method extensions for specific application domains, namely business process outsourcing, collaborative software development and project management office. The deliverable reflects the modular and incremental approach to methodology engineering and documentation in CaaS, which is manifested in the methodology components and extensions. The modularity allows for the users to focus only on those parts of the methodology that are needed for their work. The CDD methodology is described from three conceptual aspects – (1) The modelling languages in terms of concepts and notations used to represent the modelling product, i.e. the models and capability designs created. (2) The way of working, the procedures and tools used, in order to arrive at a capability design that fits organization’s needs, i.e. the modelling process. (3) The technical foundation and formal definition of algorithms for run-time adjustments of capabilities. The deliverable also includes extensive examples of capability design, context modelling and run-time adjustments. These examples are meant to support understanding and selection of the method components.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Open Data (OD) is data available in a machine-readable format and without restrictions on the permissions for using or distributing it. OD may include textual artifacts, images, maps, video content, and other. The data can be published and maintained by different entities, both public and private. Despite its power to distribute knowledge freely and availability of a large number of datasets, OD initiatives face important challenges related to its widespread take up. More specifically, OD provisioning is based on a unidirectional linking from OD providers to OD users without considering requirements and preferences of the users. The OD users also lack metadata, and they need to develop specific technical solutions for providing a continuous OD flow and processing, which is particularly difficult when real-time OD are to be used. In this paper, we propose solving these challenges by envisioning a business ecosystem for OD. It is network-based, federated, and supports interplay between OD provisioning and knowledge management. As a methodological solution, we have applied the capability-driven development approach, which allows modeling of OD processing ecosystems, facilitates knowledge exchange about OD usage among members of the ecosystem, and supports configuring information systems for OD processing. The proposal is explicated with a theoretical study of its usability for the service of road maintenance in varying conditions.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Organizations operate in increasingly dynamic and diverse environments. This leads to high variability within the organization, and the necessity to create context-aware information systems. As a part of these systems, context and business process metrics need to be monitored and acted upon. Capability Driven Development (CDD) addresses these challenges and integrates organizational development with IS (Information System) development. This paper integrates results from an industry survey and three industrial cases to define the key methodology goals for CDD.

A Repository for Pattern Governance Supporting Capability Driven Development
- 2017

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Patterns have a great potential for improving various aspects of Information System (IS) designs by reuse. While they have been routinely used for conveying reusable design solutions in books and knowledge repositories, there is an ongoing debate about their impact in practice. This is due to the fact that insufficient efforts are devoted to elaborating effective solutions for eliciting and documenting patterns, evaluating them, tracing IS designs back to the applied patterns, and assisting the designer in choosing the right pattern in a given contextual situation. These tasks need to be supported by advanced pattern repositories that are able to manage patterns at runtime. The article presents the usage of a Capability Pattern Repository (CPR) in support of an approach for design and delivery of context dependent IS, namely, Capability Driven Development (CDD). The CPR together with CDD provides a tool and a method that support pattern governance for addressing both the design and run-time of IS. The described approach is not bound to CDD and can be adapted to support different types of patterns and development methodologies.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Lately the notion of capability has emerged in information system engineering as the means to support development of context dependent organizational solutions and supporting IT applications. To this end a Capability Driven Development (CDD) approach has been proposed. As key part of CDD is the concept of patterns that is used to support the capability design from existing solutions as well as the adjustment of the capability delivery at run-time. A pattern template and meta-model is presented together with the CDD lifecycle that incorporates pattern development and use. The initial experiences of use of the patterns as part of CDD at three industrial use cases are also presented.

Using Open Data to Support Organizational Capabilities in Dynamic Business Contexts
- 2018

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In essence, Open Data (OD) is the information available in a machine-readable format and without restrictions on the permissions for using or distributing it. Open Data may include textual artifacts, or non-textual, such as images, maps, scientific formulas, and other. The data can be publicized and maintained by different entities, both public and private. The data are often federated, meaning that various data sources are aggregated in data sets at a single “online” location. Despite its power to distribute free knowledge, OD initiatives face some important challenges related to its growth. In this paper, we consider one of them, namely, the business and technical concerns of OD clients that would make them able to utilize Open Data in their enterprise information systems and thus benefit in terms of improvements of their service and products in continuous and sustainable ways. Formally, we describe these concerns by means of high-level requirements and guidelines for development and run-time monitoring of IT-supported business capabilities, which should be able to consume Open Data, as well as able to adjust when the data updates based on a situational change. We illustrated our theoretical proposal by applying it on the service concerning regional roads maintenance in Latvia.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Capability-Driven Development (CDD) methodology is supported by the CDD environment, a set of tools that allow design and deployment of capabilities. The environment is constructed to support the CDD method by providing the functionality to model the capabilities and their contexts. Moreover, the environment also receives run-time support for the monitoring and adjustments of capabilities. The run-time functionality is meant to work in tandem with existing IT systems that an organization already has invested in. Thus, the environment tools have several interfaces that allow them to work together and with external systems. This chapter describes the main features of the CDD environment tools and their interfaces. Examples are given for each of the tools.
