3.4. Technical Services

17. Technical services provide fundamental support to service based frameworks both in the form of information integration and communication services, and in the form of COI independent general service building blocks.

18. COI services provide more specialized services in order to give the business more specific business benefits within a “domain” or “area of interest”.

19. A COI is a collaborative group of users who have shared goals, interests, missions or business processes that result in information exchange and shared vocabulary.

20. Information services include services that are either made available to all users by the infrastructure, or are mandatory to be provided by all users, by all providers or by all consumers. Information services also include specification of services of general interest that may be voluntarily exchanged by any parties on the network.

21. Actually information services are based only on core enterprise services (CES), but may be extended in the future.

22. Any service based framework, such as the Business Process Infrastructure Framework (BPIF), needs to provide a basic set of services that support and facilitate implementation and deployment of actual business services and processes. Such basic services are usually referred to as Core Enterpise Services.

23. Here we will provide an overview of such CESs in a BPIF context in terms of the way such services are categorized. A few examples of CESs in each category is also provided, but a complete set of well defined core services cannot be provided as it to a large extent will depend on the actual implementation of the BPIF.

24. Core services in a BPIF context are divided into two main categories according to their primary role in the implementation of business services and processes.

  ACP 190 (B)

Spectrum Supportability Request/Comment is a two-way commitment between the (host)nation owing the system and each nation hosting the system:

- it is a prerequisite for the procuring nation/agency to perate SDEs in a host nation.

- host nations granting support to a SDE is expected to assign frequencies when requested.

Failure to follow this process will have very negative long-term impacts:

- an ever growing risk of interference between own systems.

- the ever-increasing pressure from the commercial sector: having an accurate view of military use of spectrum is an essential precondition to be able to defend it against civil encroachment.
