Open Problems (Partial list!)
What are the right (meta)-models to support this end-to-end
lifecycle
Is UML adequate as the underlying modeling language
How do you support traceability and iterations
How do we enable formal reasoning on the qualities of
designed systems
How do we address different roles and needs in the lifecycle:
governance, strategy, architecture, development, singleservice, cross-org….
How do we make all this effective and easy to use for
practitioners
