Object Management Group Chairs Announce Updates on Standards Adopted and Technology Processes Underway
Chairs of the various task forces participating in the Object Management
Group® (OMG®), presented status of their work to
ensure that mission-critical information systems and applications are
rooted in enterprise integration standards for a wide range of
technologies and an even wider range of industries as new hardware
capabilities and software platforms arise.
An international, open membership, not-for-profit technology standards
consortium, OMG recently held its quarterly membership meeting in
Reston, Virginia. Standards
were adopted in robotics, metalanguages and financial services and
RFIs, RFCs and RFPs as well as finalization reports were issued.
On the last day of the membership meeting, the Chairs summarized their
evolving standards work in the following areas:
-
Claude Baudoin, co-chair of the Business Modeling & Integration Domain
Task Force: "The Business Modeling & Integration Task Force is
taking to heart the end users' need for guidance on how to select
and/or combine BPMN™, CMMN™ and DMN™ to describe how a business works,
and plans to hold a complimentary
webinar on Thursday, May 12, 2016 from 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm ET."
-
Fred Cummins, co-chair of the Business Modeling & Integration Domain
Task Force: "A successful joint meeting of the Architecture-Driven
Modernization Task Force and the Business Modeling & Integration Task
Force produced a consensus on the scope of an upcoming RFP for a
Business Architecture Metamodel, to be issued later this year."
-
Matthew Hause, co-chair, Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF™ (UPDM™
2.0) Finalization Task Force: "The UPDM Group had a successful and
informative UAF information day."
-
Kenichi Nakamura, co-chair of the Hardware Abstraction Layer for
Robotic Technology™ 1.0 Finalization Task Force (HAL4RT™): "We
discussed the issues of HAL4RT version 1.0-Beta1 specification."
-
Kenneth Rubin, co-chair of the Healthcare Domain Task Force: "Our
emphasis was on reviewing an initial submission of the Coordination
of Care Service RFP - an emerging service standard to support
shared care planning and care transitions among and between health
provider organizations, en route to anticipated adoption later this
year."
-
Ed Seidewitz, co-chair of the Model Interchange AB SIG: "The BPMN
working group of the Model Interchange SIG ran an
extraordinarily-impressive BPMN tool interoperability demonstration
involving 10 vendors and 13 different tools. The UML®/SysML® working
group of the Model Interchange SIG discussed preliminary work on an
'industrial-strength' SysML test case that will be used to test tool
interoperability for realistic scenarios that often occur in large
modeling projects using multiple modeling tools."
-
Evan Wallace, co-chair of the Ontology (News - Alert) Platform SIG: "The Ontology
Platform SIG is pleased to announce that the Distributed
Ontology, Modeling, and Specification Language™ became an adopted
specification, and the Languages,
Countries and Codes RFC was recommended for adoption, pending
final Platform Technical Committee and BOD votes (which will likely
occur in June)."
-
Charlotte Wales, co-chair of the Middleware and Related Services
(MARS) Platform Task Force: "MARS prepared itself to receive responses
to the Data
Residency RFI which seeks any and all information about issues and
practices related to the protection of data as it traverses
geographies and jurisdictions. MARS also laid the groundwork to add to
the family of DDS™ specifications: it issued a new
RFP calling for a new protocol to enable DDS applications to
operate in extremely resource constrained (XRCE) environments.
-
Virginie Watine, co-chair of the Data-Distribution Service Platform
SIG: "Two new DDS specifications, DDS
Security™ and RPC
over DDS, have finalized their beta stages and are transitioning
to formal specifications."
