Overheard Yesterday
TINA is Terminated

Reality is Quite Different

• The TINA-C structure that exists today will no
  longer exist on 1 January 2001.
• The International Scientific Community will
  shepherd the concepts in future.
• TINA has succeeded in changing/organizing the
  model
• Now comes the hard part!

The Business Model
Every application is part of your business
model you must make them work together!
10
The Problem

• Constructing information-sharing distributed
  systems from diverse sources
• heterogeneous
• networked
• physically disparate
• multi-vendor

11
OMGs Mission

• Develop a single architecture, using object
  technology, for distributed application
  integration, guaranteeing
• reusability of components
• interoperability portability
• basis in commercially available software.

Focus on swiftly-developed, easily usable (off
the shelf) component standards.
12
OMG Background

• Worlds largest software industry consortium.
• Founded April 1989, has run over 150 processes.
• Small staff (32 full time) no internal
  development.
• Sponsors worldwide Ziff-Davis trade shows and 101
  Communications magazines.
• Dedicated to creating and popularizing
  object-oriented standards for application
  integration based on existing technology,
  integrating past, present and future technologies.

Specification Availability

• 1. OMG adopts publishes interfaces.
• 2. Interfaces must be commercially available or
  in use from OMG Contributing, Domain or Platform
  member.
• 3. Interfaces freely available to members and
  non-members alike.
• 4. Interfaces chosen from existing products in
  competitive selection process.

15
Technical Plenaries

• Representatives of all member companies.
• Determines direction of architecture standards.
• Meets every ten weeks.
• Includes 3 plenary groups

Some Vertical Standards

• Manufacturing Product Data Management (PDM),
  simulation, data acquisition, CAD services
• Insurance risk management
• Finance general ledger, agreements

  sequence analysis
• Utilities data access control

18
A Perhaps Interesting Vertical

• Telecommunications
• CORBA/TMN
• CORBA/IN
• logging
• notification
• wireless management
• Service Subscription this week!

19
Many more to come

• Analytical Data Management
• Enterprise Customer Interaction Systems
• Retail Systems
• Space/satellite systems
• More to come!

20
Cooperative Vision

• Focus on consensus
• Build on existing infrastructure
• Leverage specifications built over our first ten
  years history
• Use existing technology where possible
• Move quickly to fill openings
• Enable portability and interoperability

21
But Back to TINA

• TINA-C OMG have long cooperated
• CORBA as the backbone of the TINA DPE
• OMGtelecom standards
• strong impact on basic OMG standards including
  UML and CORBA
• even closer cooperation since reorganization of
  TINA-C as an actual entity

22
OMG TINA in Future

• TINA will continue to affect OMG standards (UML,
  CORBA, OMGtelecoms) for the forseeable future
• OMG offers to host TINA-ISC and other relevant
  meetings
• OMG is willing to help in the liaison efforts
  with other organizations
• But we need your participation!
