2 The real-world is dynamic, distributed and diverse Traditional IT methods don t respond, scale or adapt fast enough

3 Recreating Silos in the Cloud Infrastructure is virtualized and horizontal, but apps are still 3-tier vertically integrated

4 As operations fragment management is lost Policies? Version Control? Governance? Security? Change? Analytics? Copyright 2013, EnterpriseWeb LLC

5 The Application Model is broken

6 but what we really need is flexibility

7 Rate of Change Reality Gap Time to cope with accelerating rate of change

8 varied perspectives

9 and increasing demands for interoperability

10 EnterpriseWeb has re-invented middleware enabling the real-time data-driven enterprise +1 (646) x444

11 A lightweight, scale-out architecture for responsive and highly-connected processes personalize user-experiences dynamically enforce compliance automate IT governance optimize Agile, DevOps, Cloud IoT and system pipelines integrate value-chains

12 Radically Simplifying Distributed Processes unified object model shared methods/common management middleware functions delivered as services immutable-shared memory, horizontal scale-out plug-in fabric

15 From Mass Production of to Mass Customization Compute Cycles and IOPS More stuff Application Stack

16 Application middleware stacks are inadequate for distributed intelligent systems Stacks distribute a problem over a network of isolated components (cost, footprint, complexity, latency) Minimal state is passed in a linear chain of messages (no shared memory for transaction, constrains reasoning) Not conceived for dynamic data-driven interactions (tightly-coupled, brittle, siloed applications) Components don t all scale the same so applications cannot scale-out (increased activity = more middleware, not elastic) To support more complex applications you add more components (e.g. management, big data, IoT, etc. )

23 The platform is based on an abstraction, every endpoint is a graph object Modeled as set of loosely-coupled relationships

24 Modeling the Application Graph Codebase Pointers to Repository Dependencies Application Resources Configuration Environment Variables Contract Pre-Conditions Contract Post-Conditions Logs Ordered, Time-Series Event Port Binding Connection Details Backing Service Databases, Systems, Machine/Devices

25 Objects can be composed to form higher-order functions, entities, data models, processes The abstraction harmonizes the representation of diverse and distributed resources, in order to simplify distributed computing

31 At run-time events are handled by goal-oriented software agents The agents use interaction metadata to semantically interpret graph object

32 Anatomy of an Interaction Calls Agent EVENT Agent delivers custom payload including next-best-actions and updates repository, logs, indexes and tags Agent Interprets Model Isolated thread provides run-time container Agent connects, transforms Resources to advance processing Agent fetches representations of Resources and resolves queries to URIs Stateless Asynchronous ACID Transactions Distributable Threads
