------------- Original Message

In concert with both the SOA 
community of practice (http://web-services.gov/soacop/) and IAC (www.actgov.org) a 
group has started a “SOA Demo” that will provide a resource for use by 
government and industry as we communicate and validate SOA as a strategic 
approach.  This was initiated at the last SOA Conference and we have made a 
commitment to a demo for the Oct 30th SOA-COP conference.  While 
we are focused on that conference as a deadline, our goal is to be able to use 
such a demo for multiple venues.
 
The demo is intended to involve a 
scenario that will resonate with government stakeholders and also allows 
multiple industry participants to play a role.  Industry participants will 
be given the opportunity to show how they can support a SOA architecture with 
their services and tools, interacting with each other across the scenario’s 
service interfaces.  We also expect the demo to be a living resource, to be 
“up” continuously to show SOA collaboration across the internet.  The 
specifications for the last phase of the demo can be found here; http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?AnnouncementofSOACoP.  
Enclosed is the presentation from the last 
conference.
 
The initial demo scenario is going 
to be revisited to make sure we have a scenario and specification that both 
resonates with out business stakeholders and is something that our industry 
participants can use and implement.  Defining that scenario and the “rules 
of engagement” for the demo will be the subject of an upcoming face-face 
meeting.  This is a meeting for those specifically involved in and having a 
role in producing, sponsoring or defining the demo.  The industry 
participants will be expected to provide implementations and/or other supporting 
materials and the government participants will be asked to identify and validate 
our subject scenario as something that will resonate with government 
stakeholders.  
 
Various scenarios have been 
proposed, such as:
  - A commerce example, 
  similar to the current scenario 
  
- An emergence Response 
  scenario 
  
- SOA Integration 
  between government lines of business 
  
- Records 
  Management 
Our goal at the end of this meeting 
will be to have decided on a demo scenario and identified the key players who 
will then work together to refine that scenario into an SOA specification and 
ultimately a working demo system. This is an open and inclusive process and we 
would like to invite others who are interested and we encourage “outreach” to 
get more participants.  However, this is a working meeting primarily among 
those who have already decided to expend resources on producing the demo and 
will maintain that focus.  Others will still be able to enter the demo 
process later, after the scenario has been defined.
 
Note that once the demo scenario and 
SOA is defined it will be up to individual vendors, integrators and government 
participants to “show their stuff” in relation to that shared scenario. 
 There will be multiple opportunities for exposure of participant’s 
capabilities.
 
Our proposed time is Monday Sept. 
11th at 2pm-4pm.  Location to be determined as we get a 
head-count, but most probably in the Tyson’s Corner area.  Please respond 
with your interest and availability to attend.
