Add to basketDruck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Corporate information is skyrocketing in business values; for enterprise, what is best practice for developing and maintaining goals and standards to enhance information management and business operations The growing need to incorporate and exchange information across n- works has driven corporations to establish infrastructure for high-distribution communities in a timely and safe manner. Service-Oriented Enterprise (SOE) is lauded as a mainstream business-information collaboration solution due to its decentralized, loosely coupled, and highly interoperable nature. Through SOE, composite applications can be created, modified, and removed in a dynamic use of services. This allows corporate information to be abstracted from existing applications and data, and creating new possibilities for assets to be either provided by external platforms or provisioned from external sources. Within a business/commercial paradigm, SOE translates to a set of flexible services and processes that an organization wishes to make available to its customers, partners, and/or associates. From a technical perspective, SOE evolves existing integration concepts into the notion of a contract - a technology-neutral and business-specific representation of the function. The history of the term network-centricity has represented different p- ceptions in the realm of enterprise services. In such traditional Information Technology (IT) domains as the telecommunications industry, networking has comprised a complex and expensive asset-management effort for service carriers. Network operators are consistently challenged to manage techno- gies and associated procedures that are continually growing and changing. Efficiency of resource management via network-centricity has widely been regarded as acornerstone of business assurance. ix x Preface.

(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.
