Introduction to PROMCODE
Dr. Mikio Aoyama
Nanzan University
http://www.nise.org
Dr. Mikio Aoyama is a professor at the department of software
engineering, Nanzan University, Japan. Before he joined the
university, he has 15 years of experiences in the industry
including managing large-scale software development. Currently,
he is a chair of PROMCODE consortium, a joint research
consortium with IBM, Fujitsu, NEC, NTT DATA, Hitachi and
Nomura Research Institute founded on May 21, 2012.
His research interest include software architecture, including
cloud computing, SOA and automotive software, and
requirements engineering. He published many books and more
than 100 refereed papers. He has been serving many
international conferences, including ICSE, IEEE Cloud, IEEE
RE, and APSEC.

OSLC BACKGROUND
© 2014 OSLC UG for Communications
The Integration Problem
Point-to-point
Integrations
don’t scale
Monocultures
lock you in
Maintenance, management,
and change costs go up over time
Ongoing and unexpected
costs drain resources
End-user productivity suffers:
Either stuck with the wrong tool,
stuck doing manual integration;
often stuck doing both
Creating new
integrations is
unpredictable
Past choices
restrict present
action and
future vision
Integrations consume more of the IT budget:
integration failures are the top 2 causes
of software project delays*
More limited ability to respond to change
Constrained by exhausted IT budget and lower productivity

* Commissioned study conducted by
Forrester Consulting on behalf of IBM.

OSLC’s Simple Solution
Users can work seamlessly across their tools
(complex and fragile synchronization schemes not required)
Architecture of the Web
Standard Interfaces
Automation
Linked Data
“Just Enough” integration
Increased reuse
Increased traceability
Monitoring
Decreased maintenance costs
Better visibility
OSLC is an open and scalable approach to lifecycle integration.
It simplifies key integration scenarios across heterogeneous tools
10

The Basics: What is OSLC, and why should I care?
OSLC is an open community building practical specifications for integrating software
Tool
Maker
• create software using reusable and open assets that will
interoperate with other tools both inside and outside your influence
providing time and cost savings
Tool
Manager
• reduce the complexity and risk of increasingly complex software
infrastructures, and improve the value of software across a broader
set of internal and external stakeholders
Tool User
• choose the best tools for your job and have them interact
seamlessly to achieve traceability and visibility with the rest of your
organization
Systems
Integrator
• focus energy and resources on higher-value customizations,
deliver more business value to your clients, and increase client
satisfaction
OSLC is beneficial to many stakeholders

Aspirations for OSLC
(From the OSLC Steering Committee)
Foundational technology for all
integration
The household name for integrations
Natural choice for standardizing looselycoupled integrations in new domains

OSLC HISTORY
© 2014 OSLC UG for Communications
OSLC History Lesson (through October 2013)
OSLC Steering Committee votes
to pursue OASIS:
The plan that will eventually see
OSLC specification development
happen at OASIS is approved
OASIS OSLC Core TC co-founded by Ericsson, fluid
Operations, IBM, KTH, Software AG, and Tasktop
First OSLC Member Section Election:
Boeing joins the Steering Committee
W3C Linked Data Platform WG approved:
Parts of OSLC Core V2 spec contributed and used as the
seed document; OSLC Core V3 work started with plans to
rebase off of this future W3C Standard
OSLC Member Section
at OASIS created by 22
co-founders
OSLC V2 specs start finalizing:
there are a growing number of
implementations, many popular ALM
tools are made available through
adapters using a façade pattern
OSLC Architecture matures:
OSLC Core WG founded, it will
serve as the common basis for
the OSLC V2 specs
OSLC Change Mgmt
V1 spec released:
impls available from 3
vendors and in open
source
OSLC Governance Matures:
More rigorous IP policies introduced and
Steering Committee created; members
from: Accenture, Creative Intellect,
EADS, IBM, Siemens, and Tasktop
OSLC WGs start to address new segments:
DevOps and Product Lifecycle Management first,
Integrated Systems Management follows
Eclipse Lyo project created:
it is to become the resource for
OSLC developers
Many new WGs get started, including: Quality Mgmt,
Requirements Mgmt, and Architecture Mgmt
OSLC Change Mgmt is the first WG:
scenario discussions will lead to a draft, implementations, and the V1 spec

OSLC announced: a revolutionary way to make application integrations simple
& effective, building on the experience of the Web and the Jazz Platform

OSLC Governance History
Community governance of OSLC
OASIS
 Internationally recognized
independent SDO
 Formal support from 22
organizations (at launch)
 Participation governed by
established OASIS model
Steering committee
IBM de facto
governance
(with
community
support)
 Multi-organization steering
committee established
 New governance model

Why OSLC and Standardizing at OASIS Matters
Software runs the world
But it is heterogeneous and disjoint
And it needs to be integrated
Traditional approaches to software integration require custom software
Custom software is expensive to maintain and a limit on future choice
Custom integrations drive software TCO higher and limit choice
Open standards are key enablers for broad and large-scale integration
OSLC standards simplify lifecycle integration leading to cost savings and increased flexibility
OSLC is helping the world run more efficiently
Standardizing OSLC at OASIS will increase adoption and acceptance of OSLC
The world will benefit from standardized integration through OSLC
