Network-Centric Service Oriented Enterprise

Beschreibung

There is a major effort underway in the area of network-centric operations that promises to redefine networking applications. These applications have the potential to raise Enterprise operational efficiency to a whole new level. Following the successful invention of TCP/IP and the Internet, which have tremendous economic impacts on our society, the Department of Defense (DoD) is initiating a new IT revolution, based on Global Information Grid (GIG) model, with a focus on performance outcomes of organizational adaptation, survival, and competence. To ignore this technological trend of converging business and process management would be to jeopardize our competitive edge.

The emergence of Enterprise services has triggered a major paradigm shift in distributed computing: from Object-Oriented Architecture (OOA) to Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). As the need grows to incorporate and exchange information across wire-line and wireless networks, so grows the necessity to establish an infrastructure for high-distribution communities in a timely and safe manner. Network-Centric Service-Oriented Enterprise (NSCOE) is seen as heralding the next generation of mainstream Enterprise-business information collaboration solution that can enforce information and decision superiority in the decentralized, loosely-coupled, and highly interoperable service environments. Network-Centric Service Oriented Enterprise establishes a system-of-systems (SoS) view of information technologies, offering a synergistic combination of data and information-processing capacity upon an innovative networked-management framework.

(a). This is the first comprehensive book about the emerging technology of Network-Centric Service-Oriented Enterprise (NCSOE). It discusses the practical capability of a competitive ecosystem in terms of how to achieve decision superiority from exploiting information and situation awareness as a key enabler in multiple sectors of the economy.

(b). GIG (designed by Department of Defense) is directed toward providing critical networking infrastructure, and is essential for achieving network-centric operations. To help leverage Enterprise’s best practices in both business and IT operations with the values provided by GIG, this book profiles the architecture hierarchy and major elements of GIG in detail; it also provides the evolutionary path of its information management. For those readers familiar with Telecommunication Management Forum (TMF) model, Telecommunication Operational Maps (TOM) and enhanced TOM (eTOM) are correlated with GIG functions in this book to identify management building blocks that are potentially exchangeable, allowing for smooth transition if desired.

(c). A network-centric, service-oriented Enterprise solution may contain single or multiple families of systems. A family is basically a grouping of systems that share some common characteristics, but lack the synergy of common missions. This book details the integrated IT architecture necessary to support agile service-oriented architecture at the System of Systems (SoS) level, ranging from network technologies, network management, data management, and knowledge management, to e-business processes. At the conclusion of this chapter, it synthesizes the SoS elements from each chapter into a full-functioning solution.
