2. What is a Services Oriented Architecture
A Framework for interoperability that is:
A Design for an environment that:
 is made up of applications, data, and tools (called “services”) 
Where the services are:
distributed throughout the network
Location is irrelevant
defined/described using a common language and put in a registry (much like the yellow pages)
independent of whatever communications they are traveling on
platform independent
And once discovered:
they can be retrieved/pulled to the user
are combined to perform functions
“Composeable” applications and data

3. What is Horizontal Fusion?
An accelerant for the operational implementation of the GIG Services Oriented Architecture (framework for interoperability)
Provide funds to Programs of Record to modify their operational baselines to join the SOA
“web”front ends/data labeling/security, etc…
Maximize ROI of legacy investments
Modify vs. rebuild
Capitalize on existing training
A Pathfinder for NCES, DoD Data Management Strategy and Net-Centric IA
In a microcosm, find the SOA implementation pitfalls and recommend vector checks in specifications/developers guidance
A Pillar of the overall DoD CIO investment strategy for DoD IT

5. 2003/2004 Participants

6. 2004 Accomplishments
Provided a web environment with search, discovery, collaboration, language translation, etc…) for warfighters
Enabled web access to a myriad of data sources (person-based degree of separation analysis, track data, NGA/NGIC/DIA data and products, weather, HUMINT spot reports) meta-tagged with registration (I can find it) and security tags (and match it to user clearance)
Created specifications and services supporting over 30 programs in a net-centric environment
Provides the springboard for widespread net-centric operations and warfighting
Implemented a single sign-on for applications and data access for users including coalition
Implemented a set of web-based security services that are more secure than any available
Ensures that users are exposed only to the data and services consistent with their clearances
First use of mobile code PKI signing hard cards on the SIPRNET
Proved that integration at the data level will save the DoD time and effort
5 months start to finish to 30 projects

7. FY2003/04 Take Aways
Implementation of a Net-centric environment is technically doable
Cultural and Policy issues make implementation difficult
Net-Centric implementation is an integration effort
Not about building “shiny objects”
It’s about attaching capability to a common environment
Focus is on interoperable services and accessible data
We CAN capitalize on legacy investments
Using web interfaces and tagging data
Net-centric processes need continued investment and refinement
Development
Test and Integration
Certification and Accreditation
User Operations (JFCOM)

8. Out in Front
HF deployment baseline is already in conformance with pending Information Sharing Environment Legislation
Proposed McCain/Lieberman Legislation inspired by 9/11 report
Calls for an Information Sharing Network (Title II, Section 201)
A “decentralized, distributed coordinated environment” which shares “…information horizontally across agencies, vertically between levels of government, and, as appropriate with the private sector” (Section 201(c)(2)(A), page 201)
“building on existing systems capabilities …” (Section 201(c)(2)(B), page 201)
“utilizing industry best practices, … minimizing the centralization of data and seeking to use common tools and capabilities whenever possible” (Section 201(c)(2)(C), page 201)
“employing an information rights management approach that controls access to data rather than to whole networks” through “access controls, authentication and authorization, audits, and other strong mechanisms” (Section 201(c)(2)(D)&(I), page 201)
“providing directory services for locating people and information… (Section 201(d)(1), page 202)

9. FY2005 Plan
First user operational assessment of net-centric implementation
FusionNet (18th Airborne) and JEODNet
Operational Access to SOA Core Enterprise Services/Collateral Space
FusionNet and JEODNet plug into Collateral Space as a Data Provider and Consumer
Pass lessons learned to cognizant organizations (DISA, NSA, …)
Prepare for FY2006 activities
Continue work on standards and specifications
Identify implementation issues/forge path ahead
Federation, Scalability, Security
Incorporate next version of CES and new CES(es)
Continue to bring in additional data sources and functional capabilities into the environment (as funding allows)
