SW Framework for enhancing the interoperability and reusability of e-Health Services

1. SW Framework for enhancing the interoperability and reusability of e-Health Services April, 2012. National Information Society Agency, Korea eGovframe Center Eunju Kim, Ph.D. outframe@nia.or.kr

2. E-Health Services implementation issues • How can we implement them efficiently and effectively. • - Every e-Health service is not same but not so different • - we can reuse the patterns and components of e-Health • services among projects • - reusability, interoperability and extensibility are needed E-Health Service A E-Health Service B E-Health Service C Unique Area Unique Area Unique Area Development Area Common Business Area in e-Health Common Business Area in e-Health Common Business Area in e-Health Common Technical Area Common Technical Area Common Technical Area OS OS OS HW HW HW

3. E-Health Services implementation issues • How can we assure the quality of the e-Health services? • Usually, e-Health Services perform very critical missions • Developing skills are not even among developers • Technical issues frequently causes lack of time for • developing business issues Package composition? Screen layout? Error handling? Operation Business functions? Interface with Tuxedo? Transaction control? Framework A Thin Client? Text transformation? System log? cache? Business requirement? Business log Batch?

4. Software Framework • SW Frameworks are a special case of software libraries in that they are reusable abstractions of code wrapped in a well-defined API[Wikipedia] • Key features of SW frameworks that separate them from normal libraries • Inversion of control: In a framework, unlike in libraries or normal applications, the program's flow of control is not dictated by the caller, but by the framework • Default behavior: A framework has a default behavior. This default behavior must actually be some useful behavior and not a series of no-ops • Extensibility: A framework can be extended by the user usually by selective overriding or specialized by user code providing specific functionality • Non-modifiable framework code: The framework code, in general, is not allowed to be modified. User can extend the framework, but not modify code.

5. Software Framework benefits In application development stage, 20 to 30% of development cost and effort can be saved by applying Software Framework. Service application < IS* without SW framework > < IS with SW framework > Service application Development area (approx. 70~80%) Development area (100% done by developers) SW framework used (approx. 20 ~ 30%) Middleware Operating system Middleware Hardware Operating system Hardware * IS : Information System

6. Software framework benefits • We can assure SW quality independent of the individual developer by asking them to focus on the biz logics while other technological issues are handled by SW framework. Error handling? Screen layout? Package composition? < Separated development of applications> < Integrated development of applications> Operation Transaction control? Business functions? Business requirement? Business functions? Interface with Tuxedo? Thin Client? Screen layout? Text transformation? Business improvement? System log? Framework A cache? Business requirement? Business log Batch? SW Framework Common biz service Common technological service Architecture policy

7. Software Framework Benefits • Reduction of TCO and enhancement of ROI can be achieved System development System operation • 20~30% productivity enhancement through the reuse of design and source codes • Simplification and Standardization of development process • System quality enhancement with the help of proven architecture • Time and cost reduction of system development • Minimize incidents of error • Efficiency improvement through operation process standardization • Secure performance and stability

8. The needs for standardizing SW Framework SW framework became a basic tool for application development in Korea (71% of e-Government system from 2004 to 2007). 29% 71% • If an application is implemented on the basis of a vender’s SW framework, Biz logic becomes dependent on the SW framework. • Conventionally, SW framework is delivered as a black box • So only the framework provider can modify or maintain the application, bringing the dependency on the framework provider.

9. Standard Framework(eGovFrame) Standard Framework(eGovFrame) for developing and operating e-Government Services eGovFrame • Basic functions always needed to develop e-Government services • Composition [eGovFrame + new functions] e-Government services • e-Government services eGovFrame Login Board PKI

10. Vision of e-Government Standard Standard Framework Vision Improving the quality of e-government services and the efficiency of ICT investment Objectives Reusing common functionalities Improving interoperability among services Sustainable & fast technical evolution Ensuring independence from vendors Enhancing the competitiveness of IT SMEs Standardization Openness & Participation Sharing & Vitality Strategies • Setting the standard framework for developing e-government application • Providing a stable technical infrastructure • Ensuring the fairness and neutrality of e-government standard framework • opening information publicly and allowing various stakeholders’ participation • Sharing e-government framework through various channels such as portal • Promoting e-government framework to be applied by institutional measures

11. Open innovation of eGovFrame Open Ecosystem Open Sourcing • Founded open community with large and SMEs • Established public-private cooperation center • Developed with 11 large and SMEs and shared knowledge • Utilized 40 Open Source Software(OSS) • Opened 664 thousand code lines & IPRs • Carried out free training courses and 2,792 developers are certified • Collected extensive opinions from over 500 stakeholders • Ran over 20 public-private meeting Open Outputs Open Processes

12. Open sourcing process of eGovFrame • Define basic functions and architecture • Analyze 3 big vendor’s frameworks and e-Gov. projects from 2004 to 2007 • 54 functions and 219 common components Function Design Final Result 40 open sources selected Best Open Source Selection • [Major open sources] • Biz. transaction: Spring & 22 • Data:ibatis,Hibernate &1 • Development tool: Eclipse & 3 • Test tool: Junit & 5 • Distribution tool: Maven & 1 • Configuration Management tool: Subversion & 1 • Define Open Source Selection Policy • Open Source Evaluation Process • License with no restriction on distribution and usage Policy Setting • Evaluate candidate open sources(175) • Functional/non-functional requirements • Constraints for integration and interfaces Logical Test • Physically test candidate open sources(85) • Basic functions • Non-functional requirements(SW Quality) Physical Test
