"SOA at the U.S. Joint Forces Command"
Speaker: Howard Cohen (Booz Allen Hamilton)
There are many significant SOA efforts within the DoD, but the most mature ones are closer to "stove-pipes" of excellence than they are cross-cutting enablers of information exchange and operations. One of the most difficult parts of creating these cross-cutting SOA solutions is analyzing the numerous policies, directives and standards a developer must understand. One of the DoD system engineering efforts that has succeeded in working across all the Services (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, etc) is the DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF), which serves as the overarching architectural framework for the DoD.
US Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) J89, Systems Engineering and Integrated Architectures Division, is currently involved in an effort to federate DoDAF architecture data across domains to create, update and use data from multiple sources in order to compose and present federated architecture views that are (DoDAF) compliant. This challenging project requires constant synchronization, exceptional leadership, community acceptance, and development within common standards.
This presentation will provide an insight into how USJFCOM has succeeded with realizing SOA at the DoD, while raising additional issues that must still be resolved for to fully establish SOA and services that are usable throughout all of the DoD.
