Agenda

• Introduction
• TCSC Overview
• The current standard activities in the world
• Missing part in the Web services standard stack?
• Some ideas on the Standard activities of TCSC
• Collaboration with IEEE SAB
• Summary

Strategic Thinking

• Newest TC idea -gt encouraged to think broadly
  to present a challenge to TAB Create a Technical
  Community with the resource from the Society
  and IEEE to build a Web portal for the
  community (not any individual TC, but a group
  of TCs with similar professional interests)
  Services Computing
• It is a new concept endorsed by the SP-5 planning
  committee Service-centric Community-driven
  Society

Introduction

• Services-oriented Architecture based computing ?
  Services Computing
• Covers Web Services, Grid Computing, Business
  Computing, and Autonomic Computing
• Web services are based on a set of standards
• Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
• Web Services Description Language (WSDL)
• Universal Description, Discovery and Integration
  (UDDI)

5
TCSC

• Technical Community for Services Computing
  (TCSC)
• Approved in Nov. 2003 at TAB Meeting
• Collaborating with the existing Technical
  Committees in IEEE CS TAB
• Coordinating all the technical activities on
  Services Computing within IEEE CS
• Online Portal (the existing Online Community)
• Conferences
• Standards
• Publications
• Controlling the direction of Services Computing
  within IEEE CS

TCSC Activities

• Since November 2003, what have we done so far?
• Building an online portal (need a Web server)
• Organizing the 2004 IEEE International Conference
  of Web Services (ICWS 2004)
• Preparing the 2004 IEEE Services Computing
  Conference (SCC 2004)
• Publishing the inaugural issue of International
  Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR) and
  International Journal of Business Process
  Integration and Management (IJBPIM)

Potential Standard Activities

• Web Services
• Participate JCT1 Web Services Study Group
• Grid Computing
• Initial connection with GGF (Global Grid Forum)

Open Grid Service Architecture (OGSA) Evolution
WS-Resource Framework WS-Notification are an
evolution of OGSI

• OGSA Services can be defined and implemented
  asWeb services
• OSGA can take advantage of other Web services
  standards
• OGSA can be implemented using standard Web
  services development tools
• Grid applications will NOT require special Web
  services infrastructure

TCSC Proposed Items (v0.1)
16
Collaborate with SAB

• TCSC will contribute specification
• Create visibility at IEEE Conferences
• Create visibility at other events
• SAB will coordinate the activities
• SAB will recruit industry players to join this
  effort
• Like to hear advice from SAB.

17
ISO/IEC JTC 1 Web Services Study Group

• First Meeting
• 26-27 February meeting at AFNOR in Paris, France
• Second meeting of the Study Group
• Planned to be in North America the week of the
  7th of June.

18
Web-Services Activities Outside JTC 1

• World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
• Organization for the Advancement of Structured
  Information Standards (OASIS)
• Web Services Interoperability (WS-I)
• Java Community Process (JCP)
• Object Managememnt Group (OMG)
• Other invited organizations (not yet confirmed)
