Copies of working papers are available from the author. The Architecture of Platforms: A Unified View Carliss Y. Baldwin* C. Jason Woodard† *corresponding author: Harvard Business School Boston, MA, 02163 [email protected] † Singapore Management University [email protected] Copyright © Carliss Y. Baldwin and C. Jason Woodard, 2008 2 The Architecture of Platforms: A Unified View Carliss Y. Baldwin and C. Jason Woodard Abstract The central role of “platform” products and services in mediating the activities of disaggregated “clusters” or “ecosystems” of firms has been widely recognized. But platforms and the systems in which they are embedded are very diverse. In particular, platforms may exist within firms as product lines, across firms as multi-product systems, and in the form of multi-sided markets. In this paper we argue that there is a fundamental unity in the architecture of platforms. Platform architectures are modularizations of complex systems in which certain components (the platform itself) remain stable, while others (the complements) are encouraged to vary in cross- section or over time. Among the most stable elements in a platform architecture are the modular interfaces that mediate between the platform and its complements. These interfaces are even more stable than the interior core of the platform, thus control over the interfaces amounts to control over the platform and its evolution.

  • Annual Report 2011
    ANNUAL REPORT 2011 TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS: I am pleased to report that KLA-Tencor performed at record levels on several fronts in fi scal year 2011. We achieved company records in our most critical fi nancial metrics, including revenues, net income, earnings per share and profi t margins, and our year-over-year revenue growth signifi cantly exceeded that of our peer group and our industry. At the same time, we generated record free cash fl ow and continued to deliver meaningful returns to our stockholders in the form of dividends and stock repurchases. This performance was the result of our unwavering focus on develop- ing market-leading technology, addressing our customers’ most critical needs and driving operational effi ciency. Though our industry has seen a recent slowdown in demand, we remain very excited about KLA-Tencor’s prospects for the future. The long-term demand drivers for KLA-Tencor and our industry remain intact, and we are well positioned to grow as demand for semiconductor capital equipment recovers. Our record results in fi scal year 2011 demonstrate that our strategies are working. Looking back over our 35-year history, we have established a pattern of achievement and leadership, which has enabled us to create the strong foundation from which we now look ahead to the future. Our accomplishments during fi scal year 2011 in each of our four strategic objectives (Customer Focus, Growth, Operational Excellence and Talent Development) are highlighted below: CUSTOMER FOCUS: MARKET LEADERSHIP Our customer focus strategic objective is measured in customer satisfaction and market share. We maintained our market leadership positions among our foundry and logic customers in fi scal year 2011 and improved our market position in memory, as evidenced by achieving record new order levels across all our end markets during the year.

Fields of application for such systems, amongst others, range from large scale, distributed enterprise solutions down to modularised embedded systems. The presented work was moti- vated by the complex design process of avionics for unmanned systems, where the increased demand for enhanced system autonomy implies high levels of system collaboration and infor- mation exchange. For such system designs a clear separation between the application logic implemented by system components, the means of interaction between them and finally the realisation of such communication on target platforms is essential. In particular, this sep- aration leads to simplification of the complex design processes and increases the individual components’ re-use potential.

  • Cloud Computing Simplified: the Thoughts on Cloud Way
    Front cover Cloud Computing Simplified: The Thoughts on Cloud Way A selection of posts published on the IBM Thoughts on Cloud blog IBM Thoughts on Cloud bloggers team RedBlook Abstract This IBM® RedBlook™ publication is a collection of selected posts published on the IBM Thoughts on Cloud (http://thoughtsoncloud.com) blog. Thoughts on Cloud is IBM’s official cloud blog, contributed by hundreds of cloud computing specialists worldwide from IBM and IBM Business Partners. Most of the authors have hands-on experience implementing cloud solutions for various industries. The goal of the blog is to provide readers with a forum to discuss and debate various cloud computing topics. Starting with the basic building blocks of cloud computing, we cover a wide range of cloud topics in this book. We do not go into details of specific cloud products on the market, so this book serves as a cloud primer for readers who are new to this exciting technology. If you are already familiar with the fundamentals of cloud computing and would like to explore more advanced cloud topics, you can still benefit from this book. Each section is independent of the others, so it is OK to skip the sections you are familiar with and go directly to the section you’d like to read first. This book has the following sections. After reading this book, you will have a good understanding of all these concepts. Fundamentals of cloud computing The promise of cloud: How cloud is reshaping our world Cloud taxonomy: Deployment and service models Going deeper into the cloud: Cloud computing internals, dynamic clouds and composable business Cloud and your career Considerations for moving to cloud Cloud and friends: DevOps, mobile, big data, patterns, software-defined environments, software-defined networking and Internet of Things A brief look at the Cloud Open Standards and IBM Cloud Offerings What lies ahead for the future of cloud? © Copyright IBM Corp.

  • 1. the Scope of Life Cycles 2
    http://www.ambysoft.com/essays/agileLifecycle.html http://www.implementingscrum.com/2006/09/11/the-classic-story-of-the-pig-and-chicken/ http://www.agiledata.org/ http://www.agiledata.org/essays/agileDataModeling.html http://mike2.openmethodology.org/w/index.php/Category:Software_Delivery_Lifecycle Projectsmart http://www.projectsmart.co.uk/ m often asked by clients to facilitate workshops overviewing the ideas presented in the Agile Manifesto and agile techniques such as Test-Driven Design (TDD), database refactoring, and agile change management. One issue that many people seem to struggle with is how all of these ideas fit together, and invariably I found myself sketching one or more pictures which overview the life cycle for agile software development projects. I typically need one or more pictures because the scope of life cycles change -- some life cycles address just the construction life cycle, some address the full development life cycle, and some even address the full IT life cycle. Depending on your scope, and how disciplined your approach to agile software development is, you will get different life cycle diagrams. The goal of this article is to describe the agile system development life cycle (SDLC), putting it in context from what you may have heard about within the agile community and more importantly within the context of your overall IT efforts. This article covers: 1. The scope of life cycles 2. Iteration -1: Pre-project planning 3. Iteration 0: Project inception 4. Construction iterations 5. Release iterations 6. Production 7. Retirement 1. The Scope of Life Cycles As we described in the book The Enterprise Unified Process (EUP) the scope of life cycles can vary dramatically.
