	Flex machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It used a tagged storage scheme to implement a capability architecture, and was designed for the safe and efficient implementation of strongly-typed procedures.
		In a similar way, remote capabilities allowed data and procedures on other machines to be accessed over a network connection, again without the application program being involved in external encodings of data, parameters or result values.
		The capability would grant access to the procedures, but could not be used in any way to obtain access to the data.

	Space Communications Architecture
		The architectural goal of the EHF satellite system is to provide adequate protected and survivable communication service to maintain freedom of action during the deployment, maneuver, and engagement phases of military operations.
		This capability should be designed to allow backward compatibility with MILSTAR II, while making an incremental step toward a single channel protected service capacity of 10's of Mbps using a waveform that is inoperable with the space communications capability provided by the other systems of the architecture, especially those system operating in the Ka spectrum.
		An acceptable approach to achieving this architectural goal and transition strategy is to consider the network management and satellite control systems as the integrating component of the architecture, designing it from an architectural perspective rather than as a component unique to each system.

	System/38 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		System/38 and its descendants are unique in being the only existing commercial capability architecture computers.
		The earlier Plessey 250 was one of the few other computers with capability architecture ever sold commercially.
		Additionally, the System/38 and its descendants are the only commercial computers ever to use a machine interface architecture to isolate the application software and most of the operating system from hardware dependencies, including such details as address size and register size.

	KeyKOS Nanokernel Architecture
		Objects are exclusively invoked through protected capabilities, supporting high levels of security and intervals between failures in excess of one year.
		KeyKOS is founded on three architectural concepts that are unfamiliar to most of the UNIX community: a stateless kernel, single-level store, and capabilities.
		Capability systems allow authority to be minimized to just that required to do the job at hand.

		This architecture is stable only in terms of the levels that can be measured, but otherwise much more fluid in terms of the people "moving through it," following their trajectory of life span development.
		The task of matching the two architectures is thus one of coordinating two very different "contents": role responsibilities, on one hand, and people of increasing capability level over time, on the other.
		Capability Metrics using these criteria show exactly to what extent the left and right side of the Table match, thereby indicating the degree of requisite organization in a particular work stratum.

	Enterprise Architect - An SOA for the Federal Enterprise (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Capabilities are often mapped across another logical abstraction in an enterprise architecture to show their relation to a subarchitecture.
		Because capability-driven architectures don't directly communicate the value of information technology investments or the services citizens receive, we should consider them only for a supporting role in a strategic information asset base.
		It's not that capability-driven architectures are wrong, but there is a better choice to crisply abstract citizens and services in enterprise architecture to reflect the value of information technology investments.

		A capability of class Foo to be given to class Boo is simply a reference to an interface object which groups all the methods Foo allows Boo to invoke.
		All capabilities for a protection domain could be generated according to the security policy and be granted to the domain when it is initialized.
		Since capabilities can be passed around without mediation of the system, whenever you trust a domain to use the capability, you must also trust it to pass the capability.

		Their capability-based security architecture was general purpose and could have implemented many different security models.
		Intel planned to skip that whole generation of architecture and move to a capability architecture like that of the PP250 and Cambridge CAP, then thought by many to be the next big thing.
		Instead of a kluge architecture based on the 8088, we might have had a 432-based PC - with no MS-DOS as we know it, because the initial development of the 432 was cross-hosted on a VAX.

	What's New About EROS?
		Architecturally, the EROS system is most closely descended from an earlier system known as KeyKOS.
		Holding a capability is a necessary and sufficient condition for accessing the associated object with the authority granted by that capability.

	Architecture Maturity Models
		This section introduces into TOGAF the topic of capability maturity models and their associated methods and techniques, as a widely used industry standard that is mature enough to consider for use in relation to enterprise architecture.
		The first two sections explain the architecture capability maturity levels and the corresponding IT architecture characteristics for each maturity level to be used as measures in the assessment process.
		Their application to enterprise architecture has been a more recent development, stimulated by the increasing interest in enterprise architecture, combined with the lack of maturity in the discipline of enterprise architecture.

	The Three Security Architectures
		There are essentially three architectures used to secure computer systems: the out-of-band security architecture, the principal security architecture, and the capability security architecture.
		The out-of-band security architecture does not rely on software to maintain security; instead, it relies on other factors, such as an air gap, a big gun, the innate goodness of human nature, financial incentives, or the ignorance or stupidity of adversaries.
		A capability system also has a single global namespace for all actions, too, but security is enforced by preventing programs from requesting actions they are not authorized to perform, rather than by refusing them after they are requested.

	Capability Cases: A Solution Envisioning Approach - $39.99
		In particular, software and technology capabilities are sometimes as elusive, amorphous, and difficult to pin down as they are valuable and essential to the core operations and processes of most modern businesses and organizations.
		But, as we all know, as soon as we attempt to acquire and make use of capabilities, there is suddenly a pressing demand for a blend of vision, planning, and know-how to take advantage of and make capabilities actual or realized through their successful application.
		In the everyday sense of the words, the Capability Case is intended to build a case for a capability by illustrating its potential and value.

		A capability for a memory segment describes: The segment base address, The segment length, The type of the segment (data or capability), An activity code, indicating whether the segment is in primary Memory or secondary store, and An access code, indicating how the segment may be used.
		The capabilities are initially obtained from two places: the called procedure object (these are known as inherited capabilities), and capability actual parameters passed by the caller.
		Return a capability for a new instance to the caller requesting its creation (this capability identifies the object but must not allow its owner to access the object’s representation directly) Retain the ability to access the object’s representation when passed a capability for an object it created.

	Motion Lite: A Rapid Application of the Business Architecture Techniques Used by Microsoft Motion
		Capability architecture, not process architecture, is at the core of the Motion methodology.
		Capability maps are an effective and efficient way to expose, in very objective terms, the similarities and differences between business units.
		Once those capability maps exist, then, when looking at how they are implemented in terms of people, IT, processes, and so forth, it becomes easier to expose where the same capability is being performed by the same people, and where the same capability is not being implemented the same way.

	EROS: A High-Performance Capability System
		Possession of a capability is a necessary and sufficient proof of authority to perform the operations authorized by the capability on the object that it designates.
		The EROS architecture is unique in its reduction in number and complexity of abstractions, in its reduction to practice, and in a new and simplified object storage system.
		The access descriptor architecture is similar to the segmentation architecture of the Pentium family; access descriptors reference a global descriptor table entry, which in turn describes the location of an object or subsystem in main memory and its associated access rights.

	Weblogs Forum - Scaling: Not Just About Architecture
		Another architecture objective is to be able to handle peak loads, and for components to gracefully degrade under unusual load or in the case of system failures.
		Based on the overview of the various architecture stages, one cannot help but wonder to what extent eBay's architects were solving urgent present scaling problems, and to what extent they were looking to build scalability into the system to handle future loads.
		That's not a purely technical capability, but more of an organizational one: a question of resources, perhaps, but resources don't just show up automatically, and they have to be managed in order to provide that scaling capability.

	Darpa Review
		A crucial point of the capability architecture is that every privilege an application might have is conveyed by a capability.
		The second point—evaluating the capabilities a malicious renderer might have—requires studying every capability the renderer is initially given and every way the renderer could acquire new capabilities. We will consider this in great detail later, but a few general comments on our review methodology seem relevant here.
		Thus, the architecture diagram shows the high-level components for each of the various layers, and shows where the security boundaries are between the layers.

	Communicating Conspirators
		To see the difficulty of restricting capability passing, we need only consider processes A, B, and S pictured in fig.
		Suppose that A has a capability to a resource serviced by S. Also suppose that A can communicate with B (if not, then A cannot pass anything to B, so no special capability-passing restriction is necessary).
		Despite Ralph's demonstration of this subtle expressiveness gap of pure capabilities under certain conditions, E remains a pure capability architecture.

		In the context of different enterprise architecture, domains like the Business Domain, Application Domain and Technology Domain and at different IT organizational levels like the Senior Execs, Middle Management and project teams the word 'Capability' means entirely different things causes heaps of confusion.
		All of these uses of the word ‘Capability’ are correct but have totally different meanings and it is now cause the word to fail to communicate.
		We resolved that the litmus test for identifying a business capability and not a business process isn’t so much to work from the definition itself but rather to check that the object/entity that you have identified has people, process and potentially technology included.
