Implementing Standards to Achieve Reliable Transacting

THE STUMBLING BLOCKSTHAT PREVENT RELIABLE SYSTEMS

Transport Layer capabilities●Technology choices

●Lack of RM features

●Security

Application Layer Incompatibilities●No common XML vocabularies

●Description of business semantics

Business Process Layer●New technologies

●Role of modeling approaches

SUMMARY

Many factors limit reliability across the communications stack

Transport layer reliability is only one part of the problem

Discuss reliability issues BEYOND the pure technology limitations

Goal: Understand what major factors influence the overall quality of a complex B2B communications system
