4. It gives customers control over the data they create and want to share Vendors create innovative solutions that bridge technologies to address real customer needs in an innovative manner The nature of software allows for translatability in lieu of uniformity Interoperability means connecting people, data, and diverse systems

5. Why Interoperability? Interoperability is Connecting People, Data and Diverse Systems http://www.microsoft.com/interop/ Interoperability is now as important to must customers as security or reliability But interoperability is still just a means to an end Interoperability helps to: Reduce costs / Improve operational efficiencies Open access to new markets / Enable new business opportunities / Increase agility Maximize choice of solutions and vendors Ensure access to data across all applications

6. Enabling Wire Interoperability Metadata Data Formats Protocols

7. Microsoft’s Commitment to Interoperability Bill Gates’ Executive E-mail – February 2005 – “Building Software That Is Interoperable By Design” http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/execmail/2005/02-03interoperability.asp http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/execmail/2005/02-03interoperability.asp Plus deep commitment at the execution level Specification development and standardization WS-* Spec authorship Participation in Standards bodies – W3C, OASIS, DMTF, etc, etc Participation in WS-I – Web Services Interoperability Organization Shipping products: Early WS-* implementations (WSE) Strategic WS-* platform (WCF – Windows Communication Foundation) Easy-to-use development environment (Visual Studio) Community feedback and testing WS-* Workshop Process Plug-fests - Product testing of multi-vendor interop Adopting XML and WS-* as the universal glue eg. Systems Management, Connected Devices, Identity Management

8. Step 2 Broader Community Participation Step 1 Initial Development Process reconciles conflicting goals Quality of engineering Time to market Breadth of industry support Step 3 Standardization Step 4 Profiling Increasing Industry Participation Specification Published Feedback and Interop Workshops Revise spec Standards Org WS-I, ITU, ACORD WSP Idea

9. Main reason for the WS-* workshop process Produce well-engineered, quality specifications Secondary benefits of WS-* workshops: Proof of the interoperability of the WS-* specifications Discover inconsistencies with other WS-* specifications Gain implementation experience earlier Foster community involvement Apply software testing disciplines to specs Determine readiness for standardization

10. Feedback Workshops Open to everyone Obtain community feedback on specifications Interoperability Workshops Open to teams with implementations Demonstrate / prove spec interoperability Refine the important spec scenarios Ground the spec development efforts

11. Typical Steps:  Spec is developed among a small number of companies  1 st Publication – publicly available  Feedback Workshop  2 nd Publication – publicly available  Interop Workshop  3 rd Publication – publicly available  Submission to standards org

12. The SOAP and WSDL specifications proceeded through a prototype version of the workshop process during 2001 and 2002 This experience led to the refined and formalized WS-* workshop process now in use.

20. Workstream In progress Resolved

21. Run multiple frameworks on a single runtime environment Allow.NET framework to run on non-Windows platform (mono) Built-in support for third-party tools in Visual Studio and other products Need evidence of wider support and adoption of WS-* standards and high-performance implementations SAML and other standards support Need for ECM features (workflow, search, record management) to work across multiple servers Management of virtualization environments from a single console and integration with VMWare

22. All WS-* specs are progressing through the WS-* Workshop Process WS-* Workshops Process drives specification revision Yields well-engineered specifications in a timely manner Microsoft is delivering implementations for the WS-* specs Many other vendors also delivering implementations for WS-* specs too WS-* specs becoming part of the normal plumbing for connected systems dev

25. What Are Interop Profiles? Define a subset of specifications that are: ComposableScoped Work together Examples: Secure RM – WS-ReliableMessaging + WS- Trust/SecureConversation/Security ACORD Messaging Profile – WS-* + ACORD payload schemas Who defines the profile? Vertical domain org – eg. ACORD Horizontal org – eg. WS-I Customer – singly or in groups

26. Profile Recipe: Staple, Redline, Glue - Device Profile Example “Staple” Pull relevant specs into scope “Redline” Add constraints on use of those specs “Glue” Define missing bits between specs Some will migrate back into specs SOAP 1.2WS- Addressing WS- Metadata Exchange WSDL 1.1WS- Discovery WS- Eventing ThisModel Metadata ThisDevice Metadata Action Filter Conformance Claim Policy Assertions Policy Assertions

27. Why Do We Need Interop Profiles? Need to constrain (soften) runtime options to achieve out-of-box interoperability WS-* Architecture is designed for general applicability across a wide range of industries / scenarios Often too much optionality in the base specifications Tailor to specific domain / environment E.g. Devices Profile only requires SOAP 1.2 not SOAP 1.1 to lower implementation footprint Guide implementation and deployment choices Achieve a proven composition of protocols and payloads Allows simplification of application deployment e.g. WCF allows selection of interop profile to use
