  1. TINA & Standards Richard M. Soley Chairman & CEO, OMG

  2. Overheard Yesterday: TINA is Terminated

  3. Reality is Quite Different • The TINA-C structure that exists today will no longer exist on 1 January 2001. • The International Scientific Community will shepherd the concepts in future. • TINA has succeeded in changing/organizing the model • Now comes the hard part!

  4. A Short History of TINA Semi-outsider’s view: 1 Phase 1: The Core Team

  5. A Short History of TINA Semi-outsider’s view: 2 Phase 1: The Core Team Phase 2: The Consolidation

  6. A Short History of TINA Semi-outsider’s view: 3 Phase 1: The Core Team Phase 2: The Consolidation Phase 3: Scientific Community

  7. A Short History of TINA Semi-outsider’s view: 3 Phase 1: The Core Team Phase 2: The Consolidation Phase 3: Scientific Community Transition to standards & to products: OMG, TMF, ITU-T, etc.

  8. What is the OMG Vision? The Global Information Appliance

  9. Sales Engineering Accounting Manufacturing Payables/ Receivables Shipping/ Receiving Inventory The Business Model Every application is part of your business model; you must make them work together!

  10. The Problem Constructing information-sharing distributed systems from diverse sources: • heterogeneous • networked • physically disparate • multi-vendor

  11. OMG’s Mission Develop a single architecture, using object technology, for distributed application integration, guaranteeing: • reusability of components; • interoperability & portability; • basis in commercially available software. Focus on swiftly-developed, easily usable (“off the shelf”) component standards.

  12. OMG: Background • World’s largest software industry consortium. • Founded April 1989, has run over 150 processes. • Small staff (32 full time); no internal development. • Sponsors worldwide Ziff-Davis trade shows and 101 Communications magazines. • Dedicated to creating and popularizing object-oriented standards for application integration based on existing technology, integrating past, present and future technologies.

  13. Worldwide Scope 2AB Alcatel AOL AT&T BEA Systems BT CA Citigroup Compaq Concept 5 CSELT Deutsche Telekom Ericsson EURESCOM France Telecom Fujitsu HP Hitachi Inprise IBM ICL IONA John Deere Lucent Microsoft MITRE NCR Netgenics Nortel Novell NTT OASIS Oracle Peerlogic Protoco SAGA SAP Siemens AG Sprint Sun Microsystems Telefonica TRW Unisys US West Vertel

  14. Specification Availability 1. OMG adopts & publishes interfaces. 2. Interfaces must be commercially available or in use from OMG Contributing, Domain or Platform member. 3. Interfaces freely available to members and non-members alike. 4. Interfaces chosen from existing products in competitive selection process.

  15. Technical Plenaries • Representatives of all member companies. • Determines direction of architecture & standards. • Meets every ten weeks. • Includes 3 plenary groups: • Architecture Board • Platform Technology • Domain Technology

  16. Leveraging Infrastructure Telecommunications, Healthcare, Finance, Electronic Commerce, Business Objects, Manufacturing, Transportation, Life Sciences, Utilities, Analytical Data Management, C4I, Customer Information Systems, Retail, Space Systems……. CORBA - UML - MOF The OMG Process

  17. Some Vertical Standards • Manufacturing: Product Data Management (PDM), simulation, data acquisition, CAD services • Insurance: risk management • Finance: general ledger, agreements • Transportation: air traffic control, road traffic systems, flight planning, rail • Medical Systems: Person Identification, Lexicon, Record Security, Image access • Life Sciences: human genome data, biomolecular sequence analysis • Utilities: data access control

  18. A Perhaps Interesting Vertical • Telecommunications: • CORBA/TMN • CORBA/IN • logging • notification • wireless management • Service & Subscription this week!

  19. Many more to come • Analytical Data Management • Enterprise Customer Interaction Systems • Retail Systems • Space/satellite systems • More to come!

  20. Cooperative Vision • Focus on consensus • Build on existing infrastructure • Leverage specifications built over our first ten years history • Use existing technology where possible • Move quickly to fill openings • Enable portability and interoperability

  21. But Back to TINA • TINA-C & OMG have long cooperated: • CORBA as the backbone of the TINA DPE • OMGtelecom standards • strong impact on basic OMG standards including UML and CORBA • even closer cooperation since reorganization of TINA-C as an actual entity

  22. OMG & TINA in Future • TINA will continue to affect OMG standards (UML, CORBA, OMGtelecoms) for the forseeable future • OMG offers to host TINA-ISC and other relevant meetings • OMG is willing to help in the liaison efforts with other organizations • But we need your participation!
