Excerpt

...

ITANA steering committee we discussed the possibility of a mid-term ITANA f-2-f workshop (April ).  This workshop would be focused on building out a reference library of conceptual models and example real-life use cases.   There is an email survey making the ITANA email list rounds.

Subject: EA Conceptual Models

Enterprise Architects use a variety of conceptual models and tools to convey their ideas.  These include:

  1. Brick Diagrams
  2. Pace Layers
  3. Capability Maps
  4. Core Diagrams
  5. TIME models
  6. Roadmaps

Workshop goals

  1. A deep dive into each tool using a selected use case from Higher Education as an illustrative example (eg using Core diagram to describe the Advising ecosystem on campus)
  2. Document usage of the tool and “how to get started” information for architects 
  3. Find a broad set examples where people have used them

Format

This would be like an (un)Conference where we would be agile in the agenda and deliverables but focused on creating a set of resources for ITANA members

Deliverables

  1. In person idea sharing and exchange
  2. Provide a "meta-template" for each tool
  3. On the ITANA wiki: Provide a set of guidelines on the use of different the different tools(with illustrative examples and case histories. 

Proposed schedule (note: there will be breaks during the morning and afternoon sessions).

See the Spring F2F Hotel Page for details. The UW does have a price agreement with several hotels close to campus.  (I do not care for the Deca Hotel.  It isn't bad but it also isn't good. YMMV. - ed.)

Transportation

If you are driving at rush hour, give yourself extra time, especially if you plan to take I-5.

For bus and light rail service, see Google Maps transit information or the King County Metro Trip Planner. The mobile app OneBusAway is very handy for bus arrival times.

Seattle has ZipCar and Car2Go coverage, if you are a member of those services.

Other Info

The U-District has a lot of "college" restaurants. Nearby is University Village - an open-air mall with several better restaurants. The nearby neighborhood of Wallingford has lots of good restaurants.

There are two small art galleries on campus.

Rowing is really big in the area and you can always go to a bridge and watch crew.
