2 ABRAHAMSSON S PROFILE Tenured full professor in Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy (Jan/2011 onwards) Tenured full professor in University of Helsinki, Finland (on leave) Adjunct Chief Scientist, SINTEF, NO ( ), Research professor, VTT, FIN, Software developer & quality manager, The academic coordinator of Cloud Software Research Programme, 60MEUR, 30 partners, ( ITEA-Achiement Award (silver) winner in 2007, Nokia Foundation Award 2007, 100+ scientific publications Organized more than 15 international SW conferences including recent 1st int. Conf. On Lean Enterprise Software & Systems (

3 Contents Motivation: Viewpoints to the state of software-intensive industry Context: Rapid evolution of process frameworks from standardized development to agile/lean paradigm New solutions: Cloud software technology Cloud Software Program Promises Reality Future Wrap up: New openings 3

4 KEY MESSAGES The business climate of software industry has radically altered in the past decade Recently, apart from the expectations, the agile transformation efforts have shown dysfunctionalities in people, structures, organization & customers -> organizations are facing more problems than ever before! Now, Cloud software or software in the clouds shows *again* massive opportunities which are claimed to bear tremendous impacts from common people to large software corporations While many cloud technology benefits are readily reachable today, the cloud transformation is still years away and requires changes in the organization, its management, processes and business models. Cloud is not just about the technology. This is likely to come as a surprise for most companies. 4

10 PROCESS BUZZWORDS OF 2010 S Lean Enterprise Thinking Tools: FLOW, Waste, kanban, etc. Beyond Budgeting principles Tools: Strategy-Action (no budgets), removing KPI s, etc. New stuff Old stuff Agile software Tools: practices, visibility, frameworks, etc. 10

11 Change is the only certainty in software design & development The production of Technical Specifications for a 3rd Generation Mobile System based on the evolved GSM core networks. 11

13 CRITICAL MISCONCEPTIONS IN LARGE SOFTWARE INTENSIVE SYSTEMS DESIGN Dependable large systems can only be attained through rigorous application of the engineering design process The key design objective is an architecture that meets specifications derived from knowable and collectable requirements Individuals of sufficient talent and experience can achieve an intellectual grasp of the system The implementation can be completed before the environment changes very much Source: Denning, Gunderson, Hayes-Roth (2008) 13

14 Best Method Fallacy Cool Method (Structured, OO, SPI, Agile, Cloud, Lean, WhatEver) We should know this? Malouin, J. L. and M. Landry (1983). "The miracle of universal methods in systems design." Journal of Applied Systems Analysis 10:

18 How to move beyond the state-of-the-art in Cloud Software? Technologies in the Cloud Mission: Building the future software infrastructure and technologies for services in the cloud State-of-the-art Cloud software is a computing paradigm where dynamically scalable resources are provided as readily available services over the internet. Currently operated by individual companies -> no need for open interfaces to other systems. Cloud computing in general is dominated by large international companies, such as Amazon, Google, IBM, and Yahoo, who also support research aiming at improved sustainability in their operations. Éurope plays currently a small role in cloud computing Beyond state-of-the-art Cloud computing also serves other research fields by offering improved computing infrastructure In the near future, open source components and open interfaces between information systems play an important role. Successful development of a cloud computing ecosystem requires excellence in a number of these There is an opportunity for European research to be in the front-line as the area by combining the ingredients in a new and innovative fashion

19 Cloud Software Program: Targets Competitiveness via superior user experience Efficiency & profitability via significantly faster cycle-times Building the future open software infrastructure Emphasis on software assets - innovations & high value creation Creating new centers of cloud ecosystems

20 Cloud Software Building Blocks of Success Technologies In the Cloud Lean Software Enterprise in the Cloud Business In the Cloud Building the future open software infrastructure and technologies for services in the cloud Bringing the operational efficiency to a new level increasing productivity and profitability significantly Paving the way for software business to succeed in the cloud 20
