  2. The Essence of Net Centricity It’s the opposite of system-centricity or enterprise integration It’s about dynamic crossing of system and organizational boundaries to achieve objectives Greater operational effectiveness through better use of what already exists – not just what you “own” or control It’s not about the network – it’s about who/what you can interact with via the network for your purposes when you need to It challenges existing business/acquisition and doctrinal paradigms and incentive models more revolutionary than most realize It challenges system/enterprise-centric system engineering and architecture paradigms Net-Centricity – a full contact social sport

  3. The Cloud and the Net • The Net enables the Cloud • Without a net there is no cloud • Arguably, the net IS the cloud • Network accessible services decoupled information system functionality from execution platform attributes • Advent of net-centric SOAs, albeit within the enterprise • The Cloud decouples services from execution platform ownership • Some coupling remains, however: • Platform and network performance still matter • Human/Institutional tolerance for risk • Incentives for assuming risk (contracts, treaties, enforcement)

  4. Scope and Interdependence • What information and services are you willing to entrust to the cloud? • Not a binary issue; It’s a balancing act between trust, risk and potential reward • Some information and services are more critical or sensitive than others; select appropriate scope • Your own ability to resource and protect your information and services is limited by your business model/budget • Dependence on others is both risk and reward • Risk of failure to perform (negligence, accident, ill-intent) • Reward of sharing resource costs with others, agility • Enabled by legal framework and recourse mechanism • The net enables/entails a global perspective on this • Also a constraint (e.g., ITAR, privacy laws)

  5. NCOIC and the Cloud • Currently exploring formation of a Cloud Computing WG under Specialized Frameworks • Would complement Services WG charter • SCOPE model for exploring information/services scope, institutional alignment/interdependence risk, and technical feasibility issues over the net • Patterns to facilitate alignment of architecture fragments among systems and institutions • Operational Patterns (including business/policy models) • Capability Patterns (specific purpose driven) • Technical Patterns (implementation models)
