OSLC ALM-PLM Interoperability - Proof of Concept
Presentation Date and Time: 18 September 2012, 11 AM EDT
Abstract:
This presentation describes results of ongoing work to evaluate interoperability between Teamcenter and various tools from the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) domain, using the emerging Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) Standard. The standard is already in use to enable collaboration between Change Management, Requirements Management, Source Code Control and other ALM domain tools. To support a complex Mechatronic product (i.e. an Automobile), the standard must also support collaboration with PLM domain tools. Development of this connector has exposed the need for OSLC extensions to cover concepts such as Product Definition and Structure, Effectivity and Variants.
Presenter:
Mike Loeffler is Systems Engineering IT specialist at GM. Mike is focused on application of IT systems such as Teamcenter to support Systems Engineering across the entire vehicle development life cycle. Mike has vehicle engineering domain experience in both electrical hardware and embedded software development, and standards development experience with ISO-STEP. Mike represents GM on various OSLC workgroups including PLM.

Any Record, Any Where, Any Time: OSLC-enabled Applications System Development
Presentation Date and Time: 26 June 2012, 11 AM EDT
Abstract:
We have deployed a set of five OSLC-enabled applications, created independently by business specialists from different divisions within our company. Each application was independently vetted in a production environment by hundreds of engineers around the world using them on a 24 hour X 7 day basis for more than a year. Each application has its own security facilitated by Single Sign-On technology. Some benefits and outcomes:
- Application context switching is minimized by mouse hover and UI preview of OSLC linked records
- This loosely-coupled system replaces a tightly-coupled, synchronization-replicating application whose design required interdisciplinary business knowledge and code needing many conditions
- Synchronization-replication of data across applications has been minimized; duplication has been reduced to only the data that does not change and needs real-time reporting
- Records are extracted from various application databases and transformed into standard format; once loaded into a Data Warehouse, OSLC-linked records are reported as though they are one record
- An index database created from the Data Warehouse provides system-wide, string-based, text searching Join us to learn more details of our success, and some of the challenges we overcame to realize it.

Announcing the Rational OSLC Adapter for Atlassian JIRA
Presentation Date and Time: 1 March 2012, 11 AM EST
Abstract:
IBM Rational recognizes that diverse environments are a reality for our customers, and that reliable integrations between their tooling are crucial to their success. Leveraging the power of OSLC, IBM Rational has built a CM 2.0 provider that allows data in Atlassian JIRA 4.4.x to be linked to or created from any compliant CM 2.0 consumer. In our case, we’re addressing the need of our customers to integrate the Rational solution for CLM 3.0.1.x with Atlassian JIRA for situations where they have JIRA users that need to be fully incorporated into their development lifecycle traceability. Join this webcast to see the adapter in action, and to learn about how it was developed.

Using OSLC in the context of Strategic Planning for IT
Hosted and Presented by Corso.
Presentation Date and Time: 16 February 2012, 11 AM EST
Abstract:
The Strategic Planning Platform (SPP) framework is the next evolution in IT management. It is designed to systematically manage change across an organisation. It draws upon new trends in Web technology such as OSLC to facilitate a more decentralised approach to analyzing and prioritizing market changes and business demands. The framework helps organisations understand how they operate today to manage future change. By embracing EA, IT and business into the change process, an organisation can elevate decision-making to a strategic level. IT becomes a full partner in the process.

Systems Engineering Tools Integration and Interoperability using OSLC in the SPRINT project
Presentation Date and Time: 2 February 2012, 11 AM EST
Abstract:
Systems engineering such as in the A&D industry is not only challenged by the increasing complexity of modern cyber-physical systems but also by the engineering process itself. This process includes the collaboration between globally distributed engineering teams operating within different companies and domains. The SPRINT project addresses these needs by building a collaboration platform based on the interoperability technologies proposed by the OSLC. The SPRINT collaboration platform provides a seamless, large-scale integration of system engineering tools and services.

Making ALM work across multi-vendor and open source solutions with OSLC
Hosted and Presented by Tasktop.
Presentation Date and Time: 19 January 2012, 11 AM EST
Abstract:
For most medium and large organizations the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) stack has become so diverse and disconnected that the traceability and cross-stakeholder collaboration limitations have become a substantial bottleneck for software delivery. OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration – see http://open-services.net) aims to alleviate this by providing open specifications for diverse systems to communicate and support integrated scenarios. While a growing number of systems implement the specification, it will take more time for OSLC to be widely supported by all leading ALM solution vendors. But there is no need to wait for increased OSLC adoption. Join this webinar to learn how Tasktop is harnessing the thriving open Eclipse Mylyn community of ALM integrations to realize the OSLC value proposition by providing broad multi-vendor OSLC support today.
Speaker Bio:
Robert Elves is co-founder of Tasktop Technologies where he is leading delivery of OSLC-enabled integration technologies. Robert has served on the OSLC specification committee since its inception and participates in the OSLC CM, Automation, and Core working groups. In the Eclipse community, Robert is a committer on the Mylyn ALM integration framework as well as the Lyo project, which is focused on providing an SDK to enable adoption of OSLC specifications. At Tasktop, Robert leverages OSLC to improve communication, traceability and reporting across heterogeneous software development solutions including IBM Rational Team Concert, IBM Rational ClearQuest , HP Quality Center, Microsoft TFS, and many others.
