OMG Announces New Processes Open for Participation
Architecture Board Election Results
Needham,
MA, USA – January 3, 2012 –
OMG®
members met in Santa Clara, Calif., the week of December
12-16, 2011, sponsored by No Magic, SPARX Systems, and Real
Time Innovations. At this meeting members began work on six
new standards processes and elected five members to the
Architecture Board.
Architecture Board Election
Members of the OMG Architecture Board (AB) are responsible for ensuring the architectural consistency of OMG’s specifications. The following members have been elected by the membership to serve on the AB:
- Manfred Koethe, 88 Solutions
- Steve Cook, Microsoft
- Hugues Vincent, Thales
- Doug Tolbert, Unisys
- Daniel Brookshier, No Magic
New Processes Initiated
The following processes are now open for comment and participation. Non-members may download information on any Request process from http://www.omg.org/public_schedule. For more information on any process, send an email to info@omg.org.
Information Exchange Framework Information Exchange
Policy-based Packaging Services (IEPPS) RFP:
The Information Exchange Framework (IEF) Policy-based
Packaging Service (PPS) will provide organizations an
automated way to apply user defined policies that govern the
sharing and protection of information.
Application Instrumentation RFP:
The goal of the Application Instrumentation standard will be
to to provide a standard method to collect and distribute
internal application data and status information for
Command, Control, Computers, Communication, and Intelligence
(C4I) systems.
Assuring
Dependability of Consumer Devices RFI:
This RFI is the first step toward standardizing the process,
methodologies, and tools to assure the software
dependability of consumer devices. Unlike industrial
machineries, consumer devices including automobiles, service
robots, consumer electronics, and smart houses refer to a
new category of industrial products used by general end
users. A supporting whitepaper is posted at
http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?sysa/2011-12-08.
Semantic
Information Modeling for Federation (SIMF) RFP:
SIMF will address the federation of information across
different representations, levels of abstraction,
communities, organizations, viewpoints, and authorities.
Federation, in this context, means using independently
conceived information sets together for purposes beyond
those for which the individual information sets were
originally defined.
Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) RFP:
This RFP solicits proposals for a standard Interaction Flow
Modeling Language in terms of: concrete syntax, metamodel,
UML® profile and associated interchange format.
Precise Semantics of UML Composite Structures RFP: The objective of this RFP is to solicit specifications containing more precise semantics for UML composite structures and their extensions (e.g., profiles) to enable execution, model checking, and reduce ambiguities in UML models.
Next Meeting; Links to
