Maybe you have noticed it. Privacy is becoming an issue. A bit strange since there are only 24 days left until the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will become fully enforceable throughout the European Union.
Retrieving requirements and principles using the official GDPR document is crucial to make sure you apply to the regulation. Luckily the GDPR contains besides (a lot of) requirements also some key principles. (more…)
You should have noticed it. Privacy is in the digital world still an issue. A bit strange since there are only 25 days left until the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will become fully enforceable throughout the European Union . This regulation is an important change in data privacy regulation for every company who deals with EU individuals. (more…)
Architecture is a minefield. And creating a good architecture for new innovative machine learning systems and applications is an unpaved road. Architecture is not by definition high level and sometimes relevant details are of the utmost importance. But getting details of the inner working on the implementation level of machine learning algorithms can be very hard. So a reference architecture on machine learning should help you in several ways. (more…)
Everyone wants to create smart solutions. You want a smart home, smart city and maybe even a smart government. I never meet people who want to create stupid software. The use of software should be idiot proof, but making things really simple to solve a complex problem is very hard.
Machine learning enables everyone to create smart solutions for very complex problems. At least that is a promise claimed by many commercial vendors selling you Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) driven solutions. But getting the essence of machine learning means you must reset your brain. (more…)
Business IT Complexity prevention is a must for keeping your company agile and adaptive. Stop wasting time and money on complexity. Effective complexity prevention prevents hidden cost, improves quality and enforces an in-depth understanding of problems and customer needs. The 0CX (zero complexity) standard defines architecture and design principles to prevent complexity for new products. A high level of complexity often means serious risks and cost for systems. Especially for systems where humans, processes, software and new technology play a major role. (more…)
When we try to solve problems one of the difficulties is that we humans are lazy. This means that we like to think of problems in terms of simple causal relations between a cause and the effect we see. It is not that we do not know it. We just like to think of problems and solutions in a very simple way. Linear and straightforward. (more…)
When you are trying to solve an existing problem differently you may call it innovation. Yes a bloated term but still sexy when it comes to announcing new technology products. When you want your company to bring something new on the table you should have some kind of a strategy. Scenario thinking helps. (more…)
I faced a problem. I think a complex problem since it involved: people, openness and IT. So an ideal mix for testing tools suited for complex problem solving. A simple description of the problem is:
How to get more collaborators for working on the next version of the ‘Open Reference Architecture for Security and Privacy Reference Architecture’ publication? (more…)
You should be very happy! You are living in a time of accelerating changes happening within the business IT industry. Businesses innovate faster using IT innovations. Faster innovation cycles are enabled by innovations in software, hardware and business science. (more…)
Architecture is a minefield. Architecture is not by definition high level and sometimes relevant details are of the utmost importance. It is not strange that the added value of architecture and architects within large companies and projects is under heavy pressure due to architecture failures at large and the emergence of agile approaches to solve business IT problems.
