Abstract
Globally-oriented, service-oriented systems and infrastructures will form the backbones of a new generation of information networks. These systems are being implemented throughout the business world. Yet, much remains to be done to realize the Department of Defense (DoD) objective of deploying capable, reliable, and affordable service-oriented systems. The current ability to implement systems in the DoD based on service-oriented architecture (SOA) technologies falls short, as we cannot yet meet requirements for systems that are highly secure to protect classified content in the face of malicious attacks, readily configurable to allow for multiple deployment choices, highly adaptable to changes in the environment, and reliable and precise in mission-critical contexts.
