Member Newsletter
June 2004
Welcome to a new edition of The Open Group Member Newsletter!
We hope it will be a valuable resource for our members, and
a tool as useful as The Open Group website.
Please let us know if there is anything you would like to
see in this newsletter, or on our website, by contacting us
at memnews@opengroup.org.
We look forward to hearing your feedback.
In This Issue:
Chairman’s Corner with Alan Doniger
It is a pleasure for me to have this opportunity to communicate
with all The Open Group member organizations through this
newsletter. At the Governing Board meeting in early February
at The Open Group’s Conference in San Diego, I was honored
to be elected to serve as Board Chairman for 2004. For the
past six years, I served as a Governing Board representative
for the customer members and Co-Chair of the Customer Council.
Now, I have the chance to connect with all The Open Group
members as your Board Chairman.
I am keenly interested to work with the entire Governing Board,
the members, and the staff to achieve “win-win”
success for The Open Group and for each and every member organization.
To achieve this, we should use the many lines of communication
that exist within The Open Group’s “extended family.”
I encourage each member organization to take the initiative
to participate in Forums and Conferences of interest and to
participate in either the Customer Council or Supplier Council.
The Councils have valuable perspective that transcends all
The Open Group’s activities and interests. Each Council
has representation on the Governing Board on behalf of their
sector of the membership; this supplements the direct representation
afforded to Platinum members.
Generating member value doesn’t stop with participation
in current activities of The Open Group. The unique amalgam
of Forums, Conferences, Testing and Certification, and Research
activities allows The Open Group to be nimble and responsive
to industry needs in a very comprehensive, end-to-end manner.
This is best achieved by the concerted work of The Open Group’s
members to sense and bring forward the challenges and highlight
the opportunities of the open system environments of today
and tomorrow. The collective voice of The Open Group’s
members is a great measure of the needs of industry and the
marketplace at large. Needs and ideas can be delivered to
an existing Forum, to a Council, to a staff member, or to
a Board representative. If you don’t know where to take
a specific idea or if you have a question for which you don’t
find an answer, I and many others would be happy to help.
Consider the role of conferences in the overall process of
focusing resources on value-adding collaborative activities.
Within the long-term strategy to achieve unfettered flow of
knowledge, information, and data known as Boundaryless Information
Flow™, the theme for the Boston conference in July is
Enterprise Information Management. This is a theme that reflects
The Open Group’s fundamental enterprise-wide perspective
as well as the ongoing theme of management as it supports
information flow -- the life-blood of our organizations.
From the expert presenters, we will learn about emerging adaptive
architecture, telecommunications infrastructure, network centricity,
information infrastructure, and achieving security while expanding
information accessibility. These map well with our Forums.
Sometimes, conferences will inspire the Forums. Other times,
the Forums inspire Conference themes: if you then mix in members
expressing their needs, we are assured a viable, valuable
program of activities by The Open Group. Let’s get together
in Boston!
That’s all for now. Oh, in case you are wondering about
my other life, my bio is posted on the Web site. My current
position is a Chief Technology Officer for the Petrotechnical
Open Standards Consortium, Inc. (POSC), a standards organization
operating in the geoscience, engineering, and operations upstream
sectors of the global Oil and Gas industry.
Please contact me any time to discuss The Open Group, membership
value, and member contributions at a.doniger@opengroup.org.

CIO Corner with Terry Blevins
Last weekend I traveled to my hometown to attend my niece’s
high school graduation party. I was far away from San Francisco,
far away from Reading, far away from Boston and Washington,
far away from work, far away from Boundaryless Information
Flow. Or was I?
Toward the end of the day’s festivities people had a
tendency to collect in small groups and chat about what’s
going on in their lives, work included. I sat down and chatted
with an old friend who happens to be the Chief of the Fire
Department. He knows what I do so he asked for some thoughts
on what’s going on with the information technology that
supports the public. It was a very interesting discussion.
It started with an eerily similar story. The Fire Department
and the Police Department were actually starting to discuss
sharing information to improve the overall effectiveness of
public safety services. A great goal!
I heard that the subject information was essential to daily
operations of each department. Management decisions were constantly
being made based on this data, from long-term decisions, such
as planning decisions, to short term decisions, such as resource
allocations. Having the right information was critical. Sounds
familiar? I think so. It doesn't matter how big or small an
organization is, information drives decision making, and decision
making is what management is all about!
After the Fire and Police Departments established that information
is a shareable asset they embarked on a discussion of how
to realize its potential. A group of personnel got together
to discuss how to improve overall management through information
sharing and discussed issues of their information technology
environments. I'm sure you guessed the key issue; the group
that got together discovered that their information was stored
away in silos that didn't readily give up information to outsiders
like organizations on a different side of a boundary.
The next step for these organizations was pretty clear: they
needed help so they brought in a consultant. The consultant
was more focused on implementation than understanding the
bigger picture, so suggested that the right approach was to
replace the systems that managed the information with a common
set of applications and underlying database technologies.
Well, this didn't fly with the Fire Chief. Why? Because it
was suggested that everyone change. That everyone replace
their applications, databases, processes, and that everyone
be retrained who maintained or used the systems. Who is going
to pay for this? He mentioned that his ability to make decisions
would also be thwarted; his information is currently presented
in an optimal way for his decision-making. His counterparts
were likely in the same situation. The consultant also didn’t
realize that what was being suggested took away flexibility
from the autonomous organizations. Nor did he realize that
this approach was short sighted. How would it support sharing
of information with hospitals that might be the next target
for information sharing? Not the best approach.
I suggested to my friend that his problem was indeed an example
of the problem that inspires the work at The Open Group and
that our vision of Boundaryless Information Flow™ captures
the essence of a desired future state. The approach that we
see is not one of consolidation and homogenization, but one
of support for heterogeneous environments. What he needed
to do was look for holistic approaches to understand and describe
his environment, such as our Business Scenario process, and
look for open technologies that allowed information to be
freed from silos and delivered to those that need them, in
an optimal form. He understood this and was glad to hear that
his concerns about the consultant’s approach were valid
and a different solution was needed. And he was hopeful that
information technology providers would start to realize the
need for holistic solutions instead of saying replace this
and that and then all your problems will be solved.
Sometimes it is surprising that you really do not have to
go far to understand what’s going on. Real people are
having real problems with information technology, real people
that are providing real services to each of us, services that
someday might even save our lives.

Invitation from the Messaging Forum – Learn about the Future of E-mail
The next meeting of The Open Group's Messaging Forum takes
place as part of the upcoming conference of The Open Group
in Boston, MA on July 19-22, 2004.
The mission of The Messaging Forum is to maintain and enhance
the effectiveness of e-mail for interpersonal communication
and as a backbone for e-commerce. In the 30-year history of
e-mail, never has there been a time when its effectiveness
has been more under threat than now. The worldwide e-mail
infrastructure is being overwhelmed by a tidal wave of unsolicited
e-mail (Spam) and legislators are forcing organizations to
take seriously the security of e-mail, and in particular the
basic right to privacy. These factors will be the stimuli
for the most significant change to the Internet mail system
since its inception.
Within the last few weeks, the industry has converged on a
single approach to strengthen authentication of the sending
organization of an e-mail. While not a silver bullet to eliminate
the problem of Spam, this merger of two competing approaches,
Sender Policy Framework and Caller_ID is a crucial foundation
on which future solutions will be built. In this meeting,
you will hear the advocates for this new approach explain
how it works and what it means to the industry. The meeting
will also consider how a certification program for products
and domains that support and conform to this new standing
will build confidence in it and will support the aggressive
roll-out schedule.
For many years, there have been approaches to encryption of
e-mail. Mostly these have been based around the use of public
key cryptography at the desktop. This approach tends to be
restricted to large companies because of the inherent complexity
of key management, and does not permit any processing of e-mail
to trap Spam and viruses before they reach the recipient's
desktop. One approach being introduced to address both of
these drawbacks is encryption of e-mail at the enterprise
boundary before transmission over public networks. The meeting
will feature the launch of a certification program to guarantee
the interoperability of products that encrypt e-mail at the
domain boundary.
The lack of a global infrastructure for cross-recognition
of the certificates which convey the public keys for encryption
has reduced the value to those organizations that have tried
to implement highly encrypted e-mail from the desktop. The
meeting will bring together security experts from Europe and
the US to look at approaches to bridge between Certification
Authorities, specifically looking at interoperability between
approaches being developed in Europe and North America.

OMG and The Open Group Exploit Synergies between TOGAF ADM and MDA
The Object Management Group™ (OMG™) and The Open
Group detailed the synergies between The Open Group’s
TOGAF ADM and OMG’s Model Driven Architecture® (MDA®)
in a white paper highlighting the benefits of using both methods
to develop an architecture using the TOGAF ADM and then implement
that architecture using MDA.
The TOGAF Architecture Development Method (TOGAF ADM) is a
detailed industry standard method and resource base for development
of enterprise architecture. It offers a method to fill out
any framework of choice, provides a guideline on how to scope
out the architecture activity, and a step-by-step method for
discovering and understanding what the architecture deliverables
should contain.
OMG MDA is the industry’s leading standards-based approach
to model-based system development. It assists with selecting
the right modeling approach and provides means to capture
models, manage those models, translate between models, and
deal with downstream generation of code.
Members of The Open Group and OMG plan to get together in
a workshop environment during an upcoming OMG meeting in Washington,
D.C., November 1-5, 2004, and discuss how these synergies
can be further exploited.

Mobile and Directory Architecture Technical Study
The Open Group's Mobile and Directory Architecture Technical
Study is now available from our online bookstore. This technical
study describes an architecture that could be the basis of
a common standard infrastructure for mobile computing, for
deployment by service providers and enterprises. It grew from
work in The Open Group Mobile Management Forum (MMF). The
MMF developed a demonstration of seamless session management
across different networks, which was given at The Open Group
conference in Berlin, April 2001.
The Open Group then worked on a Challenge to vendors of directories
and related products to provide support for mobile computing.
The idea of the Challenge received broad support. The Distributed
Management Task Force (DMTF) and the Network Applications
Consortium (NAC) joined The Open Group as Challenge partners.
The architecture described in the technical study was developed
by the Challenge team.
Its central feature is the use of directory technology to
make information about users and the network available to
applications, management systems, and intelligent network
components.
