REMINDERS 2/X : FIRST NETWORK ARCHITECTURES
A
long time ago, systems were alone: one framework per company, no
communication from one company to another
 Then
the networks arrived, and the distributed architecture arrived too
 More applications
 Needs for consistency checks or for multi application (or multi databases) report
building
 Quickly,
a solution is found: federated architecture
 Heimbigner, D., McLeod, D.: A federated architecture for information management.
ACM Transactions on Office Information Systems (TOIS), Vol. 3, No. 3, p.253-278,
juillet 1985
 Case 1: use database synchronization tools
 Case 2: use federal database, filled from requests to other databases, usually readonly
 BUT: no reproductible & efficient process to build that, and usually read-only, and not
distributed

REMINDER 3/X: MEDIATION ARCHITECTURE
 Next
step: mediation architecture
 Wiederhold, G.: Mediators in the architecture of future information systems. IEEE
Computer Magazine, Vol. 25, No. 3, 3849, mars 1992
 The basic idea is to have adapters and mediators between applications
 Mediations may use ontologies to translate models from one application to another
 I3 Architecture (Hull, R., King, R.: Reference architecture for the intelligent integration
of information. Rapport technique (ARPA), 1995. http://ise.gmu.edu/I3_Arch/) is an
example of such architecture
 Coordination mediators accept queries and sequences them, translate them for other
mediators
 Management mediators discover dynamically new mediators, and configure them
 Semantic integration and transformation mediators translate from one ontology to another,
manipulates ontologies, split queries into many elementary queries that can be dispatched
to spetialized services
 Functionnal mediators are value added services
 Adapters ensure the connection to the applications and take care of physical, protocole
and syntaxic adaptation

REMINDER 4/X: OSI VS INTEROPERABILITY LAYERS
 OSI
(or IP) layers and Interoperability layers are not the same
 First
layers are common:
 Physical (Ethernet…)
 Protocol (IP, TCP or UDP, HTTP or FTP or …)
 Then
OSI continues with applications while Interoperability deals with
mediators

C2-SENSE
REMINDER 5/X: MULTI COMPANY IMPACT
 Today
issue is beyond multi application interoperability: it is multi
organization interoperability
 Networks are heterogeneous (not all IP based!)
 Networks are closed (for security concerns), then direct access to an application is
more difficult
 Use of DMZ for incoming messages/requests
 Use of proxies for outgoing requests, usually blocking all except the port 80
 Finding a common goal is also a matter or human relations (compared to a central
decision)
 Use
of HTTP based communications (SOAP, REST, …)
