Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is the specification of The Open Group IT4IT Standard, Version 3.0, a standard of The Open Group. It describes a reference architecture that can be used to manage the business of Information Technology (IT) and the associated end-to-end lifecycle management of Digital Products. It is intended to provide a prescriptive Target Architecture and clear guidance for the transformation of existing technology management practices for a faster, scalable, automated, and practical approach to deploying product-based investment models and providing an unprecedented level of operational control and measurable value. This foundational IT4IT Reference Architecture is independent of specific technologies, vendors, organization structures, process models, and methodologies. It can be mapped to any existing technology landscape. It is flexible enough to accommodate the continuing evolution of operational and management paradigms for technology. It addresses every Digital Product lifecycle phase from investment decision-making to end-of-life. The IT4IT Standard addresses a critical gap in the Digital Transformation toolkit: the need for a unifying architectural model that describes and connects the capabilities, value streams, functions, and operational data needed to manage a Digital Product Portfolio at scale. The IT4IT Standard provides an approach to making digital investment decisions and managing digital outcomes that is particularly useful for: • C-level executives responsible for Digital Transformation, as a top-down view of digital value creation • Product Managers and Product Marketing Managers whose portfolios include significant digital content, as a way to integrate marketing priorities with product delivery practices • Governance, risk, and compliance practitioners, as a guide to controlling a modern digital landscape • Enterprise and IT Architects, as a template for IT tool rationalization and for governing end-to-end technology management architectures • Technology buyers, as the basis for Requests for Information (RFIs) and Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and as a template for evaluating product completeness • Consultants and assessors, as a guide for evaluating current practice against a well-defined standard • Technology vendors, as a guide for product design and customer integrations • Technical support staff, as a guide for automating and scaling up support services to deal with modern technology deployment velocity

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Open Group IT4IT Reference Architecture, Version 2.0, an Open Group Standard, provides a vendor-neutral, technology-agnostic, and industry-agnostic reference architecture for managing the business of IT. The Open Group IT4IT Reference Architecture standard comprises a reference architecture and a value chain-based operating model. The IT Value Chain has four value streams supported by a reference architecture to drive efficiency and agility. The four value streams are: Strategy to Portfolio Request to Fulfill Requirement to Deploy Detect to Correct Each IT Value Stream is centered on a key aspect of the service model, the essential data objects (information model), and functional components (functional model) that support it. Together, the four value streams play a vital role in helping IT control the service model as it advances through its lifecycle. The IT4IT Reference Architecture: Provides prescriptive guidance on the specification of and interaction with a consistent service model backbone (common data model/context) Supports real-world use-cases driven by the Digital Economy (e.g., Cloud-sourcing, Agile, DevOps, and service brokering) Embraces and complements existing process frameworks and methodologies (e.g., ITIL®, CoBIT®, SAFe, and TOGAF®) by taking a data-focused implementation model perspective, essentially specifying an information model across the entire value chain The audience for this standard is: IT Professionals who are responsible for delivering services in a way that is flexible, traceable, and cost-effective IT Professionals / Practitioners who are focused on instrumenting the IT management landscape IT Leaders who are concerned about their operating model Enterprise Architects who are responsible for IT business transformation Topics covered include: An introduction to the standard and the purpose of the IT4IT work Key terminology of the standard An introduction for executives and others introducing the IT Value Chain and IT4IT Reference Architecture concepts IT4IT Core, which defines the structure of the IT4IT standard as well as the process and document structure used by the IT4IT standard The Strategy to Portfolio (S2P) Value Stream The Requirement to Deploy (R2D) Value Stream The Request to Fulfill (R2F) Value Stream The Detect to Correct (D2C) Value Stream Background information on the standard.

Download or read book The Standard Model and Beyond written by Paul Langacker and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 884 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of The Standard Model and Beyond presents an advanced introduction to the physics and formalism of the standard model and other non-abelian gauge theories. It provides a solid background for understanding supersymmetry, string theory, extra dimensions, dynamical symmetry breaking, and cosmology. In addition to updating all of the experimental and phenomenological results from the first edition, it contains a new chapter on collider physics; expanded discussions of Higgs, neutrino, and dark matter physics; and many new problems. The book first reviews calculational techniques in field theory and the status of quantum electrodynamics. It then focuses on global and local symmetries and the construction of non-abelian gauge theories. The structure and tests of quantum chromodynamics, collider physics, the electroweak interactions and theory, and the physics of neutrino mass and mixing are thoroughly explored. The final chapter discusses the motivations for extending the standard model and examines supersymmetry, extended gauge groups, and grand unification. Thoroughly covering gauge field theories, symmetries, and topics beyond the standard model, this text equips readers with the tools to understand the structure and phenomenological consequences of the standard model, to construct extensions, and to perform calculations at tree level. It establishes the necessary background for readers to carry out more advanced research in particle physics. Supplementary materials are provided on the author’s website and a solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.
