Abstract

Fulfilling the promise of a net-centric service oriented architecture for information systems depends on the availability of dynamic discovery of services. The premier standards-based service oriented architecture of today is based on Web services; the specifications include those for the Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) Registry service. These specifications are geared to the eCommerce world; the development of UDDI standards supports development of commercial-off-the-shelf software tools. As long as the UDDI specifications meet the needs of the Navy, it is able to leverage the commercial tools for its mission needs. Problems arise when there is a mismatch of Navy needs and the specifications or standards. Our innovation offers a standards-based solution to the Navy needs with our proposed Multi-Enclave Federated UDDI (MEF-UDDI) framework for use in a Dynamic Service Oriented Architecture. The MEF-UDDI will support federation of UDDI registries, policy-based access to registry service information and agent proxy capability. In order to realize the MEF-UDDI, we propose a two-fold approach, with (1) engagement with the standards organization OASIS and the UDDI TC in order to address development of architectural recommendations and potentially new (or extended) specifications that serve Navy needs and (2) a software agent-based implementation.
