| Description: An article from the Government Computer News discussing how, "Defense officials say the department is too big to push its Business Enterprise Architecture down to all the military services and agencies. So, they’re promoting a federated approach that focuses on the component agencies." This article points out the need for an approach to architecture and infrastructure that supports federation as described in the BMA Federation Strategy and Roadmap.

| Description: In cooperation with experts and practitioners throughout the SOA community and with involvement of members from the DoD, MITRE, and other organizations in the defense community, author Thomas Erl brings together the de facto catalog of design patterns for SOA and service-orientation. More than three years in development and subjected to numerous industry reviews, the 85 patterns in this full-color book provide the most successful and proven design techniques to overcoming the most common and critical problems to achieving modern-day SOA.
|
|
Many of the patterns in this book are part of the BOE, as documented in the chapter written by Dennis Wisnosky, Chief Architect of the DoD Business Mission Area.

| Description: An article published in the SOA Magazine. The abstract reads: "The United States Department of Defense (DoD) understands the value of information. While this understanding is very clear, it does not yet have a fully functional or satisfactory prescription for the strategic and technical ailments that pains its communities. Service-oriented architectures are not magic but the concepts, if applied with logic, leadership and continuity, make sense. Any mission or objective must be clearly defined with planning and the use of blueprints to build solutions that have meaning to those who will be served. There is disparity in data across domains within the DoD, but there are emerging ideas and technical strategies in development to address this issue. And SOA is a key part of this solution."

| Description: This book provides a foundation for the composition of the Web Services standards within a framework or pattern like the BOE. It guides the BOE approach to the integration of Web Service-based SOA in the BOE and provides descriptions of the various WS* Web Services specifications and how they can be composed to enable more robust and policy-driven implementations of a Web services-based SOA.
