SID ‘how to..’

NGOSS ‘jigsaw’ is finally coming together…NGOSS ‘jigsaw’ is finally coming together…• eTOM complete• Heavily used across the

industry• ITU have accepted it as a

formal standard

• Technology Neutral Architecture defined

• Real route to implementation (Java) in place through OSS/J

• SID being adopted by all TMF activities as the standard approach

• DMTF, Oasis, OMG, etc. all looking at using the SID

The “How to Use NGOSS” Methodology in Place

Worked examples proving that methodology

Great progress on Compliance

OSS/J FundamentalsOSS/J FundamentalsFoster a market of interoperable and interchangeable OSS componeFoster a market of interoperable and interchangeable OSS componentsnts

... defining and agreeing on usefulDesign Patterns and functional

APIs

... building upon mainstream J2EE platform to enable Java, XML and Web Services implementations

... creating a market placeof interoperable products

... proving the APIs with real systems,best practices and solution patterns

14

Introduction and GoalsIntroduction and Goals

Motivation: NGOSS has delivered OSS business solutions; OSS/J has delivered OSS implementations—is there synergy?

Plan: compare the respective programs for technical alignment as a basis for closer collaboration

Deliverable: a white paper and recommendations for further work

15

Areas of investigationAreas of investigation

The white paper explores alignment of:architectural principlescontractslifecycleinformation modeling techniquesthe overall direction of the programscertification

Architectural PrinciplesArchitectural Principles

NGOSS principles are either supported directly by J2EE or by OSS/J Design

Contracts and InterfacesContracts and Interfaces

Contracts model behaviour in terms of rights and obligations NGOSS System Capability Objects (SCOs) are part of NGOSS contracts Java declarations and SCOs follow a contract model for interface-behaviour specificationSchemata for SCOs and Java declarations both include input and output parameters, pre-conditions, post-conditions, and exceptions

SummarySummary

Findings:Programs are deeply aligned architecturallySID and CBE initiatives are closely linkedCertification programs are complementaryOSS/J program direction is firmly rooted in eTOM

Next steps:Collaborative technical and marketing programsInvestigate Web-services-based OSS managementBoFs on new APIs at future TMWs

TMF and OSS/J tomorrowTMF and OSS/J tomorrowTMF and OSS/J have built complementary assets to address the same goals.

Call to action to TMF and OSS/J members for much stronger deliverables than the usual liaisons, cross-alignment studies, or cross-positioning statements.

We can map and synchronize assets.

Our limit is our own creativity !
