Tuning Emerging Technologies…Making Them Play Together: From Stovepipes to Wind Chimes! Jim Disbrow, Project Manager Susan Turnbull, Co-Chair, ET Subcommittee Richard Spivack, Co-Chair, ET Subcommittee Owen Ambur, Former Project Manager Blue Sky Forum, Department of Energy October 24, 2007

CIOC Emerging Technology Life- Cycle Management Process Overview Authority FY08 Activities Benefits Discussion

Emerging Technology Subcommittee, Architecture and Infrastructure Committee, CIO Council Tuning ET Together - From Stovepipes to Wind Chimes Purpose: An “incubator” organizing process to accelerate discovery, maturation, and validation of capabilities that leverage FEA principles and priorities. The key components of charter : Greater foresight and discernment as established and emerging technologies compete and converge Longer life-cycles through market-based, open standards technologies Common understanding of business scenarios to anticipate performance outcomes and mitigate risks. Improve strategic foresight and collaboration capacity around strategic IT assets. Key FY08 Activities 1.Conduct ET Life-cycle process 2.Conduct Collaborative Expedition Workshops with GSA and Subcommittee on Networking for IT Research and Development ET SC Co-chairs Susan TurnbullRichard Spivack

CIOC ET Life-Cycle Management: ET.gov FY05 CIOC - Develop identification and validation processes for emerging technologies Examine crosscutting emerging technology components and develop recommendations for government use Governmentwide IT innovation lifecycle management process to accelerate discovery, validation, and maturation of components Accept submissions from vendor/integrators Approved components in governmentwide repository: CORE.gov FY07-09 CIOC Strategic Plan Interoperable IT solutions, identified and used efficiently and effectively across the Federal Government. Goal 3 Continue to develop more efficient and effective methods for sharing information on emerging technologies. Obj. 9 Continue to implement & refine life-cycle management process and website (ET.gov) to enable the identification and discovery of emerging technology components and specifications, via full-text searching as well as mappings to the FEA Service Component Reference Model (SRM) and Technical Reference Model (TRM). Major Activity History, Principles and Authority

Key FY08 Activities 1.Conduct Purpose: “Continue to develop more efficient and effective methods for sharing information on emerging technologies.” CIOC Strategic Plan ET.gov stages: 1. Identification: anyone registers ET component using XML schema >80Identification: 2. Subscription: community forms around high potential component 14Subscription: 3. Stewardship: community recognized by ET SC (i.e. IPv6, StratML)) 5Stewardship: 4. Graduation: component recognized by Services SC for inclusion in CORE.gov 2Graduation: Key FY08 Actions 1.Explore partnering with other federal settings involved in technology evaluation and transfer 2.Conduct Collaborative Expedition workshops to support networking among ET communities Contact Information Jim Disbrow, Project Mgr. Susan Turnbull Richard Spivack, Former Project Mgr.

Key FY08 Activities 2. Conduct Collaborative Expedition WorkshopsCollaborative Expedition Workshops Purpose: Monthly open workshops to encourage collaboration among government and community implementers of IT and to demonstrate promising capabilities emerging from IT research that aligns with FEA principles “Facilitate strategic dialogue among communities of interest. Through the Expedition Workshops, sponsored by AIC, interested participants experience and learn about new opportunities to adhere to sound architectural principles and implement shared, service- oriented solutions.” from CIOC Strategic Plan Leadership in virtual collaboration (i.e. Data Reference Model, Geospatial Profile) Key FY08 Activities/Deliverables 1.Organize around business scenarios from ET.gov & IT R&D communities that address CIOC Strategic Plan and Architecture Principles for the US Government.IT R&D communities 2.Organize around CIO requests.

Key FY08 Activities – Graduation to Services SC 3. Strategy Markup Language - StratMLStratML Purpose: To facilitate collaboration around shared missions and reduce the number of duplicative performance metrics XML vocabulary and schema Federal agency strategic plans and potential for performance plans, and performance reports all aligned with FEA More than 50 Federal strategic plans rendered in StratML Support strategic alignment among partners and maintain currency readily 4. IPv6 Purpose: To provide leadership and coordination in the adoption of IPv6 Explore business scenarios to anticipate performance outcomes and mitigate risks. Key FY08 Actions 1.Establish agreement with Services SC for ET components graduating to CORE.gov 2.Explore interest in StratML from science & IT R&D agencies StratML IPv6 XML CoP Adam Schwartz, chair StratML CoP Phil Wenger, XML,co-chair p.gov Peter Tseronis, IPv6 chair Ed Coia, XML,co—chair Tim Schmidt, IPv6 vice- chair, DoT

ET.gov Enables…. –Identification & Discovery of ET Components By anyone Regardless of whether component exists yet or not –Formation, Identification & Discovery of CoPs By.gov folks with “business” expertise In partnership with.com,.edu &.org technical experts –Potential Direction of Additional Resources By CIOC leaders Based upon need, interest & priorities –Collaboration to Assess Viability & Utility By ET CoPs Through proofs-of-concept, pilots –Delivery of Proven Components For Consideration By Services Subcommittee & Governance Subcommittee, Agencies, LOBs & eGov Projects
