  2. Presentation Outline • Levels of Interoperability • Tools and Frameworks that support interoperability • Standards for interoperability • Relevant EU projects        • Enterprise Interoperability Research Roadmap issued by the EC

  3. Interoperability… only data exchange? • Different enterprise divisions both intra- and inter-country level • Different policies/ processes applied • Different IT systems (ERP/SCM/CRM, etc.) • Different data to be exchanged • Different Legal/ Business rules applied to the above A B Outline • Levels of Interoperability • Tools and Frameworks that support interoperability • Standards for interoperability • Relevant EU projects        • Enterprise Interoperability Research Roadmap issued by the EC

  4. Levels of Interoperability • In an increasing order of complexity and difficulty,interoperability can be classified into several levels (depending on the model used) • Levels of Conceptual Interoperability Model (LCIM): • Based on research at the Virginia Modeling Analysis & Simulation Center (VMASC) • The LCIM has been successfully applied not only in the domain of Modeling & Simulation, but generally in model-based interoperability challenges Outline • Levels of Interoperability • Tools and Frameworks that support interoperability • Standards for interoperability • Relevant EU projects        • EnterpriseInteroperability Research Roadmap issued by the EC

  5. Levels of Interoperability (cont’d) • To achieve meaningful interoperability between enterprises, interoperability must beachieved on all layers: • Interoperability at business level should be seen as the organisational and operationalability of an enterprise to factually cooperate with other, external organisations, whetherthese organisations are enterprises or public institutions. • Interoperability at knowledge level should be seen as the compatibility of the skills,competencies, and knowledge assets of an enterprise with those of other, externalorganisations. • Interoperability at ICT systems level should be seen as the ability of an enterprise’s ICTsystems to cooperate with those of other, external organisations. Outline • Levels of Interoperability • Tools and Frameworks that support interoperability • Standards for interoperability • Relevant EU projects        • EnterpriseInteroperability Research Roadmap issued by the EC

  6. Technologies/ Aporoaches for Interoperability • Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) • Interoperability of applications across platforms • Interoperability of MDA tools • Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) • Common payload and protocol • Published and discoverable interfaces • Loose coupling • Multiple communication interfaces • Composability Outline • Levels of Interoperability • Tools and Frameworks that support interoperability • Standards for interoperability • Relevant EU projects        • Enterprise Interoperability Research Roadmap issued by the EC

  7.

Outline • Levels of Interoperability • Tools and Frameworks that support interoperability • Standards for interoperability • Relevant EU projects        • Enterprise Interoperability Research Roadmap issued by the EC

  8. Model Driven • Model: A set of statements in some modeling language made in order to describe or specify some system.1 • Model Driven: Using models as primary artifacts to direct the course of understanding, design, construction, deployment, operation, maintenance and modification of a system.2 • Model Driven Architecture™: An (OMG) approach to system specification that separates (models for) the specification of functionality from the specification of the implementation of that functionality on a specific technology platform.2 1Ed Seidewitz, “What Models Mean,” IEEE Software, September/October 2003 2Object Management Group, MDA Guide Version 1.0.1 Outline • Levels of Interoperability • Tools and Frameworks that support interoperability • Standards for interoperability • Relevant EU projects        • Enterprise Interoperability Research Roadmap issued by the EC

  9. Model Driven Architecture Object Management Group Terminology (as applied here) • Computation Independent Model (CIM) • The business model • Platform Independent Model (PIM) • Technology independent system specification • Conforms to the business model (CIM) • Platform Specific Model (PSM) • Technology specific (e.g., middleware, application platform, etc.) system design • Conforms to the system specification (PIM) Outline • Levels of Interoperability • Tools and Frameworks that support interoperability • Standards for interoperability • Relevant EU projects        • EnterpriseInteroperability Research Roadmap issued by the EC

  10. Modeling Approach • Models will be expressed in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) • Using a proposed UML Profile and Metamodel for Services (UPMS)1 • Based on experience with service-oriented business modeling using the older Enterprise Distributed Object Computing (EDOC) Component Collaboration Architecture standard • The models become primary artifacts • To the greatest extent possible, technology-specific products are generated from the models • Generated artifacts may be augmented, but not replaced, by hand-coded artifacts as necessary • No “round trip” engineering 1Currently under development in response to an OMG RFP. Outline • Levels of Interoperability • Tools and Frameworks that support interoperability • Standards for interoperability • Relevant EU projects        • Enterprise Interoperability Research Roadmap issued by the EC

  11. Service Oriented • Service: A logical representation of a repeatable business activity that has a specified outcome, is self-contained and maybe composed of other services and is a black box to consumers of the service.1 • Service Oriented: A way of thinking in terms of services and service based development and the outcomes that services bring.1 • Service Oriented Architecture: An architectural style for a community of providers and consumers of services to achieve mutual value, that:2 • Allows participants in the community to work together with minimal co-dependence or technology dependence • Specifies the contracts to which organizations, people and technologies must adhere in order to participate in the community • Provides for business value and business processes to be realized by the community • Allows for a variety of technologies to be used to facilitate interactions within the community 1The Open Group, SOA Definition V 2Object Management Group, SOA SIG, Draft SOA Definition, April 2006 Outline • Levels of Interoperability • Tools and Frameworks that support interoperability • Standards for interoperability • Relevant EU projects        • Enterprise Interoperability Research Roadmap issued by the EC

  12. Perspectives on “Service Oriented Architecture” SOA is: • An enterprise and business architecture approach – a way to understand and integrate the enterprise in the context of its community and as a network of business services. “A SOA” at the business level is part of the enterprise architecture showing how this network of services delivers business value • A system of systems solution architecture – a way to understand and integrate enterprise systems internally and externally as a network of technology services. “A SOA” at the systems of systems level is the solutions architecture showing how this network of systems works together to delivers business value. • A system integration approach – a way to expose existing capabilities to integrate applications and create new composite solutions. Outline • Levels of Interoperability • Tools and Frameworks that support interoperability • Standards for interoperability • Relevant EU projects        • Enterprise Interoperability Research Roadmap issued by the EC

  13. Service Oriented Architecture • A SOA consists of a set of business aligned I/T services that support an organization’s business process goals and objectives, …using interface-based service descriptions that decouple the provider and consumer through openstandards and protocols. These services can be combined and choreographed to produce composite enterprise scale services that allow dynamic re-configuration of business value-nets and I/T systems.
