Subject: Fw: APRIL 14: Maj Gen. Ret. George Norwood and Andras Szakal IBM Chief Architect - "eBusiness on Demand"
Joe, As I was saying moments ago - no need to go inventing new stuff - just look how creative consultants can be - left on their own!! Already ebSOA is obsolete and last years news - and we've not even had the kick-off meeting yet. The British Army has a lot to answer for - I would have allowed new acronyms only by Royal Decree and then only once they had been approved by the Oxford Dictionary Review Board and published. eBOD - happy Googling... ; -) DW. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Swenson, Bruce" <BRUCE.J.SWENSON@saic.com> To: <david@drrw.info> Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 7:45 AM Subject: APRIL 14: Maj Gen.

"Nordie" Norwood, Vice President, Strategic > Programs > Andras Robert Szakal, Chief Architect / IBM Federal Software Group Manager > > DESCRIPTION: > Our guests will speak about eBusiness on Demand (eBOD). They will define > the On Demand Operating Environment Reference Architecture and how it > relates to building a Service Oriented Computing IT environment. They will > then discuss how government IT can transform to an On Demand Enterprise. > The dynamic provision and consumption of services as an integral part of the > business processes of an organization may take place either within or across > organizational boundaries. The possibility of a business process crossing > organizational boundaries raises the need to view the service > provision-consumption as a business relationship with all the complexity > such a relationship entails, e.g. information exchange, matchmaking, > negotiation, contracts, dynamic creation of configurable service instances, > etc. The e-Business on Demand lifecycle is a description of the steps that > two organizations have to go through in order to establish, enact, maintain > and manage the desired business relationship between them. The dynamic > aspect of e-Business requires automating as much as possible of its > lifecycle. This work looks at the models, services and tools needed to > facilitate the automation of certain phases of the lifecycle. One topic of > focus is Web Services Matchmaking. A service which is central to the > e-Business lifecycle is that of matchmaking. The technological as well as > the business aspects of finding compatible Web services and consumers pose a > number of requirements on matchmaking, namely: > > symmetry of information exchange and selection, > > powerful description and requirement languages, and > > dynamic service configuration. > > BIOS: > > Mr. Andras Robert Szakal, Chief Architect, IBM Federal Software Group > Manager, Federal Software IT Architect Team > Mr. Szakal is the Chief Architect and a Senior Certified Software IT > Architect for IBM's Federal Software Sales business unit.
