Sixth Service-Oriented Architecture for E-Government Conference September 29-30, 2008 Welcome and Opening Remarks Presented by Dr. Jason Providakes, MITRE
Conference Theme - Federal Collaboration and SOA • U.S. government agencies need enabling services that: • reduce complexity in their business processes • streamline their technical profile • address their security issues. • Topics on collaboration in a services environment you will hear over the next two days: • Transitioning with the new Federal administration • Human aspects of collaborating in a shared services environment • Success stories and lessons learned
An Opportunity for Collaboration • The Conference is designed for collaboration: • Cross agency collaboration • Collaboration with industry • Collaboration with MITRE in its FFRDC role • Designed with 2 hours lunch/networking time each day • MITRE is also facilitating two separate SOA-related communities of practice to meet concurrent with conference attendance: • Spacial Ontology • Semantic Exchange • These sessions will take place during the 2 hour lunch/networking breaks
MITRE’s Approach to SOA • Everything begins with the business needs of the agencies • There is a set of enablers for those business needs, the processes and organization • SOA is the disciplined approach which establishes the connection between business processes and the enabling services. Strategy, People, Core Business Processes Business Architecture • Current MITRE SOA Capabilities • Services Modeling • Services Engineering • Services Management • Technical Standards Performance Enabling Services Services Architecture Security Information Standards Technical Architecture
Evolving a MITRE SOA Laboratory Capability • Purpose of a SOA Laboratory • Educational platform for our Federal Partners • A Link and an Offering to compliment exiting industry laboratory capabilities • Enhance existing MITRE expertise • Testing & Innovation Platform • Current Capabilities • “SOA In a Box” – Bedford led MITRE Research Project • C2C and FFA use of the Fuse API, a commercial open source SOA platform • ACME – Agile Capability for Mash-Ups Environment
Evolving MITRE SOA Knowledge Management • MITRE as a SOA Knowledge Management Hub • Continued SOA Conferences • Evolving MITRE SOA Laboratory • Knowledge Sharing • Proceedings • Whitepapers • Wiki, Blog Participation
