  1. SOA Community of Practice:Do We Have a SOA Business Opportunity for You! Brand Niemann, U.S. EPA, and SOA CoP Co-chair, Best Practices Committee, CIO Council

  2. First Stops on the SOA CoP Tour • ACT/IAC’s* SOA Committee, January 29, 2007, at SAIC, McLean, VA. • Federal Computer Week’s SOA Essentials: What Department Heads Need to Know, February 13, 2007, Grand Hyatt, Washington, DC. • INPUT, Service Oriented Architecture – Status Report and Update, February 28, 2007, Ritz Carlton, McLean, VA. * American Council on Technology/Industry Advisory Council.

  3. SOA is… • Good Enterprise Architecture: • Pat Heinig, Project Performance Corporation, on the 2nd SOA for E-Government Conference, October 30-31, 2006. • Everywhere: • Panel at ArchitecturePlus Town Hall for SOA Management Strategies, December 19, 2006. • Inevitable: • Dave Mayo, Everware-CBDI, Collaborative Expedition Workshop, January 23, 2007, Opening Up Networked Improvement Activities Around Service Oriented Architecture in 2007. • Preparation for Service Systems: • More later on this.

  4. A Business Opportunity • What you came looking for, right? • Learn more about SOA by working on the Practical Guide to Federal SOA (PGFSOA). • Participate in the Phase 3 Super-pilot built on Open Source SOA Infrastructure. • Participate in the 3rd SOA for E-Government Conference (May 1-2, 2007, MITRE). • ACT/IAC SOA Committee Survey: • http://www.soa-iac.org/soasurvey

  5. The Process • Openness: Characterized by an attitude of ready accessibility (especially about one's actions or purposes); without concealment; not secretive. • Collaboration: Act of working jointly. • Open Collaboration Everywhere: Ready accessibility of working jointly in any or all places.

  6. Recent Results of the Process • Collaborative Expedition Workshop, January 23, 2007, Opening Up Networked Improvement Activities Around Service Oriented Architecture in 2007: • Dave Mayo: Need a SOA vocabulary. • Duane Nickull: The OASIS SOA Reference Model is a concept model and we need a SOA Ontology. • Chris Harding: We are doing a SOA Ontology. • Haiping Luo: SOA fits within the Enterprise Architecture Management Guide Framework. • Eric Sweden: State and Local governments need SOA to implement governance of multiple business processes in multiple organizations. • Bob Marcus: DISA and NCOIC need SOA to implement multiple standards in multiple business problems and infrastructures. http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ExpeditionWorkshop/CollaborativeOrganizingWorkshopToPlanWorkshops_01_23_07

  7. The SOA CoP Process • Infrastructure: The basic structure or features of a system or organization. • Open Source: Practices in production and development that promote access to the end product's source materials — typically its source code — allowing users to create user-generated software content. • Inclusive: Including much or everything.

  8. Practical Guide to Federal SOA (PGFSOA) http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PracticalGuideToFederalSOA

  9. SOA CoP Co-Chair & IONA CTO • E-Government needs a comprehensive guide to SOA with Web Services standards and best practices for implementation to get from the current "as is" to the future "to be" architecture. This book meets that need superbly. • Brand Niemann, Ph.D., Co-Chair, SICoP, U.S. Federal CIO Council IONA CTO SOA CoP Co-Chair

  10. Phase 3 Super-pilot Built on Open Source SOA Infrastructure • IONA Federal Jumpstart Program - Accelerate the adoption of Open Source SOA*: • Confusion about how to get started with SOA. • A Federally-applicable demonstration delivered on a pre-configured virtual appliance. • A reference implementation geared to incremental adoption of SOA components. • A “sandbox” for SOA experimentation - Allows experimentation of SOA components and/or intermediaries. • Visualize applicable use cases with a highly scalable, easily accessible SOA infrastructure. * IMPORTANT NOTE: All vendors with Open Source SOA Enterprise Service Buses (ESB) are especially invited to participate.

  11. Phase 3 Super-pilot Built on Open Source SOA Infrastructure • IONA Jumpstart Roadmap: • Design and develop “sandbox” • Design semantics/vocabulary: • Use SICoP Semantic Wikis • Design object registration and location services • Map technologies to design • Develop • Test iteration • Incrementally adopt additional services and technologies

  20. Service Systems • Steps Toward a Science of Service Systems, Jim Spohrer, et al, IBM Almaden Research Center, IEEE, January 2007, pp. 71-77: • The Service sector accounts for most of the world’s economic activity, but it’s the least studied part of the economy. A service system comprises people and technologies that adaptively compute and adjust to a system’s changing value of knowledge. A science of service systems could provide theory and practice around service innovation.

  21. Service Systems • Steps Toward a Science of Service Systems (continued): • A service system is a value-coproduction configuration of people, technology, other internal and external services systems, and shared information (such as language, processes, metrics, prices, policies, and laws). • The capabilities required to provision a services between service systems are distributed among people, technology, other service systems, and shared information.

  22. Service Systems • Steps Toward a Science of Service Systems (continued): • The result of the coevolution is a capability infrastructure that can augment knowledge workers and improve organizations collective intelligence (Doug Engelbart, 1962 and 1980). • Service systems integrate people, technology, and information resources in different proportions. As a result, each system is unique, resulting in situations in which the revenue and profits scale differently (see next slide figure).
