Banking Industry is going through fundamental transformation and continues to evolve in unprecedented ways. Architects designing the future banks need to adopt robust frameworks and models that ensure efficiency, resilience, standardization, and adaptability. BIAN, or Banking Industry Architecture Network, provide a banking architecture framework that aims to standardize and streamline the IT infrastructure in the banking industry, allowing for seamless integration, reduced complexity, and enhanced efficiency.

Gain insight into how to model decisions using the Decision Model and Notation language and unify your business and technology teams. You will learn how to create pure business decision models using diagrams and tables, simplify Business Process diagrams, run what-if scenarios with simulations, and create executable code. The session is suitable for strategists, business modelers, and technologists and is guaranteed to change the way you think about business decisions forever.

The development of an AI-driven Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodology within a robust ecosystem that bridges industry and academia - this is the Penta Project ECOMAI (Ecological Motor Control and Predictive Maintenance with AI). This research project is founded by the European Union under the umbrella of the European Chips Act. Its goal is to address critical challenges such as energy efficiency and skill shortages in the semiconductor market. With members of the ECOMAI consortium, we explore the MBSE methodology, the barriers to adopt and the benefits of implementing. Features like call graph visualization are essential for the understanding, the modelling language essential for broad adoption. The ECOMAI design kit for AI-enhanced drive systems will orchestrate hard- and software and will include the ECOMOD Modelling Toolbox. In this talk, we will give you an insight of this ongoing development.

At the DCSA new data interchange standards are core business. The standards enable parties involved in cargo shipment by means of containers to make interoperable applications. Achieving a standard can be a monumental task in this industry so a step-by-step approach, lots of design interaction and high quality publication are required. In this talk this will be presented with actual examples.

The issues facing architecture practice teams change as they mature. Once platform deployment is done and the initial models have been created, the focus shifts to data quality, completeness and making it more consumable for stakeholders. In this session, Nathalie Pelser and Chris Armstrong will discuss the issues facing the architecture practice team at AT&T Mexico and the efforts underway to make the architecture more useful and consumable for stakeholders in order to maximize business value to the organization

The value of architecture comes from how it is consumed and used to solve business problems. This panel of architecture practice leaders will discuss how they are using architecture to solve business problems for their organizations along with the emerging trends they are seeing in the practice of architecture, workforce dynamics and the impact of AI and emerging technology.

For federal and state agencies, Enterprise Architecture isn't optional… it is mandated by law. Patrick Simon will explain the regulatory landscape and share insights into the unique challenges and constraints facing government organizations in implementing their architecture practices.

Government regulations provide unique constraints to how agencies procure, deploy and operate architecture platforms. In this session Ryan Schmierer from Sparx Services North america will discuss prourement vehicles, deployment options, security related topics and services available to support government deployments.
