B2B Frameworks/1Overview/1
  • The first step towards this goal has already been
    taken in the past using Electronic Data
    Interchange (EDI) concept.
  • However, the increasing use of Web protocols,
    such as HTTP, and the remarkable success of HTML
  • have favoured more flexible solutions, notably
    XML.
  • Hence, most B2B frameworks are built heavily on
    XML.
  • Typically a B2B framework is a XML-based and
    middleware-neutral document specification
  • though most of the B2B frameworks require the use
    of Internet and Web protocols
  • such as HTTP, SSL, and MIME.

7
B2B Frameworks/2Overview/2
  • Originally, B2B frameworks focused solely on
    developing vendor-independent specifications
  • for a set of documents to be exchanged between
    business partners.
  • Lately, the frameworks realised the need to
    coordinate the actions of different business
    partners
  • so that, business partners should definitely
    agree on the structure of documents they exchange
  • but they should also know when to exchange those
    documents
  • and how to articulate those external exchanges
    with their internal business processes.

8
B2B Frameworks/3Overview/3
  • As a result, B2B frameworks have begun focusing
    both on document format and on CBPs (Cross
    organizational Business Processes)
  • that concern the exchange of those documents.
  • Some of these B2B frameworks specify the
    infrastructure required for business partners
  • to implement those exchanges.
  • In other words, some frameworks specify both
    message format and exchange sequence
  • and some specify the message format and an
    infrastructure
  • which allow business partners to define and
    implement their own interactions.

9
B2B Frameworks/4Summary/1
  • Electronic business is not an invention of the
    Web
  • Already in the 80s a standard for Electronic
    Data Interchange (EDI) was established
  • Mainly focusing on business data
  • Technological driver of B2B frameworks was XML
  • United Nations bodies, OASIS (Organization for
    the Advancement of Structured Information
    Standards) and vendors fostered the development
    of standards
  • Partly standards are focusing on business data
  • Whereas the others tried to standardize business
    processes
  • Between the involved companies of electronic
    business

10
B2B Frameworks/5Summary/2
  • To the first group belong
  • ebXML which focuses on CPP (Collaboration Partner
    Profile) and CPA (Collaboration Partner
    Agreement)
  • Are in some way a superset of WSDL
  • cXML defining structures of purchase orders or
    order acknowledgment
  • UBI ended in a standard and is more or less
    successor of EDI

11
B2B Frameworks/6Summary/3
  • To the second group belong
  • RosettaNet providing dictionaries, PIP (Partner
    Interface Processes), and TPAs (Trading Partners
    Agreement) -including 5 modules
  • OBI entailing a buying organization
  • Biztalk specifies message formats that encloses
    documents provided on MS servers
  • Bolero.net is running on a server owned by an
    independent third party-focusing on trading
    processes
  • tpaML provides a special language to express
    agreements between business partners

12
B2B Frameworks/7Summary/4
  • Two of them are meta frameworks
  • eCO architecture is an abstract architecture for
    B2B frameworks
  • XCBL is a set of XML building blocks and a
    document framework

13
B2B Frameworks/8Summary/5
  • There are some of B2B frameworks such as
  • ebXML, RosettaNet, OBI, cXML, BizTalk, bolero.net
  • The most relevant important standards are ebXML,
    RosettaNet and cXML
  • even if they are very different.
  • Web service standards defines a standard
    infrastructure
  • for locating and invoking remote application
    services
  • within and between organisations.
  • This is a primitive set of standards
  • really an approach to application development,
    similar to older standards
  • such as distributed objects and component-based
    programming
  • but easier to understand and deploy.

14
B2B Frameworks/9Summary/6
  • The ebXML, RosettaNet and to a lesser extent cXML
    standards
  • generally speaking, relate to, how information
    moves between companies
  • including format and process.
  • cXML and UBL offer a standard definition of
    commonly used business documents.
  • From the largest software companies
  • to new industry solution providers
  • to open source projects
  • providers of such tools are world-wide.

15
Cloud Computing/Definition
  • The notion of what exactly is cloud computing is
    ... cloudy -- numerous definitions exist. A
    rather well-founded definition is provided by the
    US National Institute for Standards and
    Technology (NIST)
  • Cloud computing is a model for enabling
    convenient, on-demand network access to a shared
    pool of configurable computing resources
  • e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications,
    and services
  • that can be rapidly provisioned and released
  • with minimal management effort or service
    provider interaction.
  • As most other definitions, NIST's definition
    describes three service-delivery models for cloud
    computing

16
Cloud Computing/Service Delivery Levels
  • Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS)
  • The capability provided to the consumer is to use
    the provider's applications running on a cloud
    infrastructure and accessible from various client
    devices through a thin client interface such as a
    Web browser (e.g., web-based email).
  • Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS)
  • The capability provided to the consumer is to
    deploy onto the cloud infrastructure
    consumer-created applications using programming
    languages and tools supported by the provider
    (e.g., java, python, .Net).
  • Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
  • The capability provided to the consumer is to
    provision processing, storage, networks, and
    other fundamental computing resources where the
    consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary
    software, which can include operating systems and
    applications.

17
Cloud Computing/SaaS Layer
  • The SaaS layer is regarded as the application
    layer, delivering applications over the browser
    or composite high-level services.
  • It's important to mention that cloud computing is
    not stuck to thin-clients.
  • The smart phone shows that the smart client is
    used in practice. Therefore, new client
    technology, running as plug-in in the browsers,
  • for example Microsoft's Silverlight, Adobe's AIR,
    Flash, Java FX,Google Chrome, are required to
    deliver the required user experience.
  • Prominent examples are, Microsoft online (BPOS)
    and live, Goggle Apps, Salesforce CRM,
  • SuccessFactors, Apple's AppStore and many more.

18
Cloud Computing/PaaS Layer/1
  • The PaaS layer consists of a platform technology
    and typical foundation infrastructure services.
    This could be split up in the platform and
    service.
  • The architectural platform aspect can be compared
    to a typical desktop operating system and
    infrastructure services to typical network
    services required in an enterprise environment.
  • The platform part covers the abstraction for
    resource management
  • computation, storage, network
  • The service part covers services for
  • directories, search, billing.

19
Cloud Computing/PaaS Layer/2
  • Current examples are Windows Azure, Goggle App
    Engine, Force.com. All three offerings can be
    regarded as PaaS, but are very different.
  • Windows Azure is much like an .net operating
    system open for developing like for an on-premise
    OS
  • Google App Engine is intended to allow glue logic
    in Java and Python for Google Apps
  • Force.com is a fully proprietary platform with
    specific programming language and useful services
    in the CRM domain.
  • The common advantage of cloud platforms is their
    focus on scalability, reliability and low
    operating cost.
  • Existing applications cannot be transferred from
    on-premise to cloud
  • platforms
  • they typically have to be reengineered in order
    to gain the benefit of seamless Internet scale.

20
Cloud Computing/IaaS Layer
  • The IaaS layer covers all the current offerings
    in the virtualization domain.
  • The market leader is Amazon (Elastic Cloud)
  • typically offering hosted operating systems like
    Windows or Linux.
  • These virtualized offerings allow fast scale of
    virtualized hardware, but does not scale up
    applications, if they are not developed for
    scalability already.
  • But also the new types of services, called
    storage services are related to the
    infrastructure level.
  • Prominent offerings are Amazon Simple Storage
    (S3), SimpleDB, Windows Azure Storage, Google
    Storage.
  • Furthermore, infrastructure services for
    synchronization are provided.

21
Cloud Computing/Deployment Models
  • Private cloud
  • The cloud infrastructure is operated solely for
    an organization. It may be managed by the
    organization or a third party and may exist on
    premise or off premise.
  • Community cloud
  • The cloud infrastructure is shared by several
    organizations (e.g. SC, CNO) and supports a
    specific community that has shared concerns
    (e.g., mission, security requirements, policy,
    and compliance considerations). It may be managed
    by the organizations or a third party and may
    exist on premise or off premise.
  • On-premises software is installed and run on
    computers on the premises (in the building)
  • off-premises software is commonly called
    "software as a service" or "computing in the
    cloud."
  • Public cloud
  • The cloud infrastructure is made available to the
    general public or a large industry group and is
    owned by an organization selling cloud services.

22
Cloud Computing/Hybrid Cloud
  • These deployment models can be mixed as a "hybrid
    cloud"
  • the cloud infrastructure is a composition of two
    or more clouds (private, community, or public)
    that remain unique
  • entities but are bound together by standardized
    or proprietary technology that enables data and
    application portability (e.g., cloud bursting).

23
Service View vs. Architecture View
  • The big number of different definitions and the
    current buzz around cloud computing, leads to
    different interpretations of cloud computing.
  • Therefore, a cloud computing reference
    architecture model is introduced which allows
  • relating technological and architectural aspects
    to service view aspects.
  • Cloud computing novelty comes from the
    composition of existing technologies combined
    with new business models for software and service
    selling. It's not a single new technology.

24
Cloud Computing Architecture
25
Cloud Computing/Standards
  • Cloud computing heavily relies on Web standards
    (protocols, e.g. SOAP and REST, security, e.g.
    SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language ),OAuth
    (Open Authorization) , etc.)
  • but there are no specific cloud computing
    standards for elements and processes
  • such as APIs, the storage, data import and
    export, and backup.
  • Furthermore, application portability is
    difficult, because the platform concepts differ
    in resource scheduling and resource access and
    control from current on-premise concepts.

26
Cloud Computing _at_ SIS
  • Establishing an all over concept of Cloud
    Computing
  • Dynamic delivery of ICT services in the form of
  • Applications (SaaS)
  • Platform services (PaaS)
  • Infrastructure services (IaaS)
  • The three blocks SaaS, PaaS and IaaS should
    not be looked at in isolation they have mutual
    interrelationships that have to be taken into
    account in forming business models.

Business Models
33
Maturity Model
  • The business models can be classified and
    assessed by means of a maturity models and the
    value chain. The maturity model has different
    service level development stages in SaaS, PaaS
    and IaaS.

34

SaaS (Software as a Service)/1Origins
  • Some ideas are coming from the Big Iron
  • also some similar ideas as Thin Clients and
    Application service providing are going back to
    the late nineties
  • The primary idea of SaaS is the following
  • provide the user with application functionality
    via web clients
  • instead to force to install the whole application
    on his PC.

Pricing and Licensing value based and dynamic How to determine value? How to measure usage? What gets metered? (Customers) How to price SW based on, e.g. Number of cars built, Number of cars hired, Number of airline passengers, Number of banking deposits, etc (Providers) How to meter based on, e.g. business processes, peak/off peak pricing, tariffs, auctions, location hosting discounts, forecasting penalties, others?
Payment pay only for what is used What exactly gets billed? How many meters? How to get an invoice? How to pay? Alignment between pricing and metering? One meter per product, per service? What are the payment and clearance mechanisms? Who gets paid?
Standards and Interoperability What are the guaranteed properties for Availability Accessibility Security Reliability Interoperability Usability Others?

Utility based business models SaaS business
model for an Independent SW Vendor (ISV)
  • Software as a Service is the business of
    delivering software-powered services, not
    delivering software
  • The ISVs mission is no longer the creation of
  • packaged software for the customer to
    install.
  • Instead, they ISVs create functional
    services
  • and applications for customers to use
  • delivered to agreed performance levels
  • throughout the life of the service
    contract. Summit Strategies

MethodologySaaS/1
  • EI Services which are available on the GSP
    (Generic Service Platform) will be provided via
    the SaaS concept.
  • which is an emerging concept for current and
    future networked enterprises
  • SaaS is a model for SW deployment with the
    following characteristics
  • application is hosted as a service provided to
    customers across the Internet.
  • application must neither be installed nor run on
    the customer's own computer
  • alleviates the customer's burden of software
    maintenance, ongoing operation, and support.
  • customers relinquish control over software
    versions or changing requirements.
  • conceivably reduce that up-front expense of
    software purchases
  • through less costly, on-demand pricing.

54
MethodologySaaS/2
  • From the software vendor's standpoint following
    issues are from importance
  • it has the attraction of providing stronger
    protection of its intellectual property
  • establishing an ongoing revenue stream
  • may host the application on its own web server
  • this function may also be handled by a
    third-party application service provider (ASP).
  • This way, end users may reduce their investment
    on server hardware too.

55
MethodologySaaS/3
  • Many types of software are well suited to the
    SaaS model
  • where customers may have little interest or
    capability in software deployment, but do have
    substantial computing needs.
  • Such Application areas are for instance
  • Customer relationship management (CRM) i.e.
    Salesforce
  • Video conferencing
  • Human resources
  • IT service management
  • Accounting
  • IT security
  • Web analytics
  • Web content management
  • e-mail are
  • These are the initial markets showing SaaS
    success

56
MethodologySaaS/4
  • SaaS solutions were developed specifically to
    leverage web technologies
  • such as the browser, thereby making them
    web-native.
  • Both data design as well as architecture of SaaS
    applications are specifically built with a
    'multi-tenant' backend
  • Multi-tenancy refers to a principle in software
    architecture where a single instance of the
    software runs on a server, serving multiple
    client organizations (tenants).
  • thus enabling multiple customers or users to
    access a shared data model.
  • This further differentiates SaaS from
    client/server or 'ASP' (Application Service
    Provider) solutions
  • because SaaS providers are leveraging enormous
    economies of scale
  • in the deployment, management, support and
    through the Software Development Lifecycle.

57
MethodologySaaS/5
  • A new implementation of the SaaS vision is
    expected
  • supporting the various collaborative business
    forms, from supply chains to business ecosystems
  • and becoming for them like a utility, a
    commodity, the so-called Interoperability Service
    Utility (ISU)
  • ISU will not just create a service platform
  • but mainly a new business concept the
    Software-as-a-Service Utility (SaaS-U) model.

58
MethodologySaaS-U/1
  • can be seen as a software application delivery
    model
  • where a software vendor develops Web-native
    software services
  • hosting and operating them for use by its
    customers over the Internet.
  • Customers do not pay for owning the software
    itself any longer but rather for using it
    on-demand.
  • They use it through an API accessible over the
    Web and often written using Web services.
  • fits also well with modern SOA architectures
  • aiming to promote software development in a way
    that leverages the construction of dynamic
    software systems
  • which can easily adapt to volatile user
    environments and be easily maintained as well.

59
MethodologySaaS-U/2
  • SOA enables flexible connectivity of applications
    by representing every application as a service
    with a standardized interface.
  • enabling to exchange structured information
    quickly and flexibly.
  • This flexibility enables new and existing
    applications to be easily and quickly combined
  • to address changing business needs, and the
    ability to easily combine and choreograph
    applications
  • allowing IT services to more readily reflect
    business processes

60
MethodologySaaS-U/3Open Issues/1
  • Are there success stories/lessons learned in
    specific domains concerning experience of
    ISU/SaaS-U?
  • SaaS-U will undergo further transformation
  • In business models for SaaS-U the providing of
    platforms should be taken into account
  • Whats the borderline between value added
    services and utility services concretely is
    payment an utility service?
  • Do utility services belong to horizontal
    services?
  • Consider the differentiation between horizontal
    and vertical services.
  • Assessment respectively certification authorities
    could be another type of stake holder especially
    in the crucial issues as QoS (Quality of
    Service), liability, reliability, SLA (Service
    Level Agreement).
  • There are doubts that ISU will bring intelligence
    in the network.
  • Discussions about the different types of
    metaphors especially concerning the tab is
    mixture of cold and warm water really a metaphor
    for ISU?
  • Distinguish among cost based and market based
    prices
  • IPR (and patents) also for SW solutions are
    encouraged by CMMI assessments could this fact
    increase prices for ISU

MethodologySaaS-U/3Open Issues/2
  • Legal aspects must be solved
  • Above all liability issues
  • The crucial issue seems to be the Ontology.
  • Without Ontology UDDI will not work properly.
  • So no customer will really find the respective
    services!
  • Its also very questionable, if Ontology will be
    standardized.
  • Some fears are concerning the quality of
    services.
  • Are they again technical services at the end of
    the day?
  • as we experienced with objects

62
MethodologySaaS-U/3Open Issues/3
  • Another hype?
  • Ontology neither exists nor chance to agree on
    it.
  • Often on political reasons (i.e. Automotive
    sector Odette)
  • Services dont meet the expectations of end
    users.
  • Neither value proposition nor relevant business
    models are met.
  • Interfaces/connectors to ERP/legacy systems are
    too heavy to be implemented.
  • Are there enough technicians or business experts
    available?
