Jean-Paul De Baets is Integration Architect at FEDICT, the organisation in charge of the initiation, implementation and assistance of e-government projects for the Federal Government of Belgium. He initiated the Federal Service Bus Program by defining the vision and the requirements and is the technical lead on the project. The FSB is an implementation of the Enterprise Service Bus pattern enabling different government agencies to exchange information using SOA concepts. In addition to the technical platform, an important part of this project was to define and implement a SOA governance program, in other words, to define the processes, organisation and supporting tools to enable Fedict to correctly manage its web services. Jean-Paul is also lead architect for various large e-gov projects and provides technical expertise to other government agencies around SOA, Web Services, BPM and EAI. Prior to Fedict, Jean-Paul worked as a consultant for Cap Gemini, Forté Software and Sun Microsystems. Click Here to View Speaker Profile |
"The Federal Service Bus: A Case Study About Governance"
Speaker: Jean-Paul De Baets (FedICT)
Day 1: Real World SOA Case Studies
The Federal Service Bus developed for the Belgian government has been operational for more than a year now. Our service inventory is growing and we have more and more consumers (re)using our services. More services and more consumers means more potential issues and challenges to keep a consistently satisfactory level of service. In this session we will explore those new issues and challenges and on the actions we have taken to overcome them. Different governance aspects will be discussed, focusing on their potential impact for service support and change management. We will cover the service creation process from the service creation request to the service delivery in production focusing on the different deliverables needed to document the service. We will see that quality control throughout the process is mandatory and explain how we have implemented it. We will also cover the service consumption process insisting on the importance of service usage agreements. We will explain why those service usage agreements are so important and what aspects should be absolutely covered. We will then focus on some runtime governance aspects such as service monitoring, logging and reporting. For those aspects we will explain what our minimal requirements were and how those were implemented. Finally we will discuss how our architecture and organization should evolve to overcome the remaining and forthcoming challenges.
