Federative behavior in business networks is

maintaining each member’s independence

while obligating them to perform for the common good according to their ability.

Federalism is

the structural and organizational principle by which

basically independent, autonomous entities (agents) join forces

to form a higher form of order

to combine a required level of uniformity

with the kind of diversity

that is indispensable, if the organization wants to be successful.

The federated computing manifesto


4

Federalism in evolution

Federative behavior is an effective strategy for all living entities

from the basic building blocks of life (cells, organs) to social

communities.

The evolution of multi-cellular organisms was a big step for the

efficient exploitation of the environment by modularity. This is

also a means to hide interoperation complexity

Diversity is the concept of the evolution to survive.

Husky: Secure transfer of electronic identities over heterogeneous system platforms

Citizens want to move from St. Gallen to Zurich

Advantages with Husky ©

Situation today

First time ever electronic transfer leads to enormous cost efficiency

Tax fraud can be minimized One stop shop for citizens

At least two government visits Inconvenient desk opening hours High administration effort Tax fraud possible

A 20 years interoperation perspective

“The Global Ubiquitous Computer

- subsumes both the Internet and instrumented environments.

- Its name reflects the reasonable prediction that,

- within two decades,

- virtually all computing agents (heart-monitors, satellites, laptops,..)

- will be connected,

- forming an organism that is partly artifact and natural phenomenon —

- In either case one of the most complex ever constructed or studied.”

Robin Milner (Pi Calculus, Turing Award)

18

Federative interoperation elements (1)

Technical platform elements

Technology independence of client and server applications; no type or name sharing

Long transactions and process compensations; time-outs

Information and identification synchronization on demand

Openness of security mechanisms

Opaque decisions in orchestrated services

Multiple interaction styles, protocols, format transformations, event notifications, routing (the Enterprise Service Bus)


19

Federative interoperation elements (2)

Organizational/social elements

Service sharing

Fair service level agreements (performance, availability, security)

Contracts (Non Disclosure, Non Compete, Warranty)

Trust (while delayed interoperations)

Modular organization (subsidiary, autonomous decisions)

Problem escalation and collaborative trouble shooting


20

Suggested research topics

Agent technologies based on “social” concepts may help to understand and construct this new kind of federative platforms.

We also need a design methodology for federated service agents. This may provides a new concept for modularization of systems without central control, possibly a new paradigm for software engineering.

Social sciences & philosophy may converge with computer sciences to find a new foundation for federative business interoperations and their corresponding infrastructures.

IT should not be seen sub-ordinate to business economics any more.

Our last slide

The figures in this presentation weretaken partly from our book.

Opinions on it:

Dr. Michael Mrva, from Infineon:

„That’s not just a book, it’s a super book!The content is based on different scientificdisciplines, which never have been presented in this form anywhere. “

Prof. Dr. Ulrich Walter, from Space Technology Technical University Munich (former Program Manager IBM Development and before that astronaut on space shuttle Columbia):

„I am startled: All essentials are condensed perfectly.”
