  1. Web Service Directions Presenter: Bruce Locke

  2. IT Standing Committee Meeting September 09, 2003 First Web Service Initiative in progress • first IMO initiative is an inter ISO project • facilitate intertie scheduling checkout process between IMO and neighbouring control areas • 2 services: • request intertie schedule query for a specific hour, receive XML response with schedule • post notice to neighbouring ISO when schedule is newly available or modified

  3. IT Standing Committee Meeting September 09, 2003 What is a Web Service? • web services replace traditional APIs • unlike traditional APIs, which lock users into a specific object model and language interface, web services are interfaces supported by all major enterprise architectures (J2EE, MS, IBM, BEA) • in many web service implementations, the following interface standards apply • the shared object model becomes SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) • PKI is abstracted using SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) • each of these are XML text messages across an anonymous or secure socket connection on TCP/IP

  4. IT Standing Committee Meeting September 09, 2003 What does this mean to the Market? • IMO is developing the internal capability to deploy and support web services for the marketplace • web services will be deployed if and when future projects are defined and approved • benefits: • will lower the implementation cost and time for market participants relative to traditional APIs • market participant need not apply design, programming and support skills that are the same as the IMO and which may be foreign to their internal architectures and staff • APIs become standard compared to current deployed interfaces (MIM = Java/J2EE, IOMS = DCOM, MTR/NOD = Epic Workflow proprietary, etc.)
