Book excerpt: Mashup Corporations: The End of Business As Usual tells the tale of Vorpal Inc., a company that pioneers the implementation of service-oriented architecture to transform its business model. CEO Jane Moneymaker believes in marketing manager Hugo Wunderkind's idea of creating a new market using non-traditional methods based on mashups, but struggles to achieve this vision. The story illustrates what it takes to achieve cultural change, overturning established business and IT structures. By embracing a service-oriented approach Moneymaker makes Vorpal faster, flexible and more responsive, bringing an end to business as usual. Mashup Corporations takes a unique approach to communicating its message. From the first page, readers will find themselves in a story populated with people who interact in ways that will ring true to others who have struggled to make technology work in an organization, large or small. The conflicts that naturally arise between CEOs, CIOs, and line of business managers illustrate the important issues at stake within Vorpal and most other companies. As the leaders of Vorpal find their way out of their predicament, rules about how mashups and service orientation can be properly applied emerge. These rules, which may be the most enduring contribution of the book, are illustrated and analyzed using real-life examples. Introduction to the Second Edition Since the publication of the first edition of Mashup Corporations: The End of Business as Usual in October 2006, the adoption of business models related to mashups, Web 2.0, and service oriented architecture (SOA) has continued to accelerate. New applications, new products, new techniques, and, most importantly, new ideas are blooming. The authors are pleased to report that the first edition of the book has met with a warm reception. Forrester, the analyst firm, recommended it as one of the two most entertaining and informative books on the subject. The book has been adopted by several different companies as an educational tool. Capgemini created a live-action play based on characters in the book that was presented at Oracle Open World during a keynote address by Andy Mulholland. (See http: //www. oracle.com/openworld/attendees/program-overview/keynotes.html to view the video, which appears about half way down the page. A condensed version is also available on www.capgemini.com.) Sales of the book have been brisk and so have suggestions for improvements. Based on this success, the authors decided it was time for a second edition. What We Added You will find two additional chapters in this second edition: "Chapter 7: Overcoming Barriers" and "Chapter 9: Changing the Game". The idea for chapter 7 came out of discussions between the authors and Avrami Tzur, VP of SOA at Hewlett Packard. Avrami pointed out that even though the story of the book covered the process of adopting mashups and SOA from top to bottom, a different sort of struggle emerged as the early adopters in a company attempted to convince the rest of the company to come along. Based on Avrami's experience, we added a chapter that covers the struggle to overcome barriers to adoption of mashups and SOA. Anyone who knows Andy Mulholland is well aware of his prodigious output in the form of blogs, white papers, and of course, books. Andy's analysis of how to think about mashups, SOA, and Web 2.0 in an integrated, strategic fashion is contained in "Chapter 9: Changing the Game". As the body of experience and knowledge about mashups and SOA grows, we hope that others like Avrami approach us and add their experience. Only by harvesting such knowledge can we move this story forward and make the book even more effective in explaining the potential business value of mashups and SOA. In this way, our effort may become a successful instance of a blook, content that combines aspects of a blog and a book.

Download or read book Mashups written by Florian Daniel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mashups have emerged as an innovative software trend that re-interprets existing Web building blocks and leverages the composition of individual components in novel, value-adding ways. Additional appeal also derives from their potential to turn non-programmers into developers. Daniel and Matera have written the first comprehensive reference work for mashups. They systematically cover the main concepts and techniques underlying mashup design and development, the synergies among the models involved at different levels of abstraction and the way models materialize into composition paradigms and architectures of corresponding development tools. The book deliberately takes a balanced approach, combining a scientific perspective on the topic with an in-depth view on relevant technologies. To this end, the first part of the book introduces the theoretical and technological foundations for designing and developing mashups, as well as for designing tools that can aid mashup development. The second part then focuses more specifically on various aspects of mashups. It discusses a set of core component technologies, core approaches and architectural patterns, with a particular emphasis on tool-aided mashup development exploiting model-driven architectures. Development processes for mashups are also discussed and special attention is paid to composition paradigms for the end-user development of mashups and quality issues. Overall, the book is of interest to a wide range of readers. Students, lecturers, and researchers will find a comprehensive overview of core concepts and technological foundations for mashup implementation and composition. Even without low-level coding details, practitioners like software architects will find guidance on key implementation concepts, architectural patterns and development tools and approaches. A related website provides additional teaching material which can be used either as part of a course or for self study.

Download or read book Opening Government written by John Wanna and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transparency and citizen engagement remain essential to good government and sound public policy. Indeed, they may well be the key to restoring trust in government itself, currently at an all-time low in Australia. It is ironic, then, that this has occurred at a time when the technological potential for information dissemination and interaction has never been greater. Opening Government: Transparency and Engagement in the Information Age explores new horizons and scenarios for better governance in the context of the new information age, focusing on the potentials and pitfalls for governments (and governance more broadly) operating in the new, information-rich environment. Its contributors, a range of international and Australian governance academics and practitioners, ask what are the challenges to our governing traditions and practices in the new information age, and where can better outcomes be expected using future technologies. They explore the fundamental ambiguities extant in opening up government, with governments intending to become far more transparent in providing information and in information sharing, but also more motivated to engage with other data sources, data systems and social technologies.

This book was released on 2009-08-07 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent economic, political, and technological forces are changing the landscape of electronic business and electronic commerce. Although great strides have been made over the past in understanding, researching and advancing e-business, rarely have we witnessed its use so profound and yet its limitations so pronounced, than what has been on global public display for the past 18 months. As a result, new e-commerce strategies and techniques are emerging, collaborative value creation is essential and e-business models are being refined and developed, with special attention towards IS in financial markets, health care and related institutions. It is for these reasons (and many more) that we are so particularly excited and grateful for the collection of papers included in this Value Creation in e-Business Management LNBIP volume number 36. The papers selected in this volume address these emerging e-business issues and are organized into four research lines: Business Models for the Digital Economy, Electronic and Mobile Commerce Behavioral and Global Issues, IS in Financial M- kets and Institutions, Web 2. 0 and E-Commerce and Collaborative Value Creation. The first group, Business Models for the Digital Economy, provides a closer exami- tion of business models from a rich mixture of segments in the IT industry. They - clude Hoyer and Stanoevska-Slabeva’s business model types for enterprise mashup intermediaries, Riehle’s ‘commercial’ open source business model, Chen’s interesting comparison between i-Phone versus Kindles in electronic book sales, and Lyons and coauthors business models in emerging online services.

Download or read book Virtual Words written by Jonathon Keats and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technological realm provides an unusually active laboratory not only for new ideas and products but also for the remarkable linguistic innovations that accompany and describe them. How else would words like qubit (a unit of quantum information), crowdsourcing (outsourcing to the masses), or in vitro meat (chicken and beef grown in an industrial vat) enter our language? In Virtual Words: Language on the Edge of Science and Technology, Jonathon Keats, author of Wired Magazine's monthly Jargon Watch column, investigates the interplay between words and ideas in our fast-paced tech-driven use-it-or-lose-it society. In 28 illuminating short essays, Keats examines how such words get coined, what relationship they have to their subject matter, and why some, like blog, succeed while others, like flog, fail. Divided into broad categories--such as commentary, promotion, and slang, in addition to scientific and technological neologisms--chapters each consider one exemplary word, its definition, origin, context, and significance. Examples range from microbiome (the collective genome of all microbes hosted by the human body) and unparticle (a form of matter lacking definite mass) to gene foundry (a laboratory where artificial life forms are assembled) and singularity (a hypothetical future moment when technology transforms the whole universe into a sentient supercomputer). Together these words provide not only a survey of technological invention and its consequences, but also a fascinating glimpse of novel language as it comes into being. No one knows this emerging lexical terrain better than Jonathon Keats. In writing that is as inventive and engaging as the language it describes, Virtual Words offers endless delights for word-lovers, technophiles, and anyone intrigued by the essential human obsession with naming.
