As a result of our
early vision, today we have the most advanced, mature OSS application on the
market.0 in Q3 2005
* Extending the current set of APIs to support SOA environments in Q4 2005
* Further extending the scalability and availability of the NetCracker OSS
Solution by combining SOA architecture with other NetCracker
capabilities, such as application server-level clustering,
* Establishing a dedicated team to work with NetCracker clients on
designing and implementing an SOA architecture and to "productize" best
practices for an SOA-based OSS
* Participation in industry standards bodies such as OSS/J (OSS through
Java) and the TeleManagement Forum's Next Generation OSS (NGOSS)
working group to further SOA-based approaches to building OSS
solutions , and to ensure standards applicability and relevancy in
actual OSS implementations

"To truly be 'Next Generation OSS', adopting industry standards and
demonstrating 'ease of software integration' are absolutely critical.
Service-Oriented Architecture is a software architecture in which all
functions, or services, are defined using unified service description language
and have well-defined public interfaces.----The Object
Management Group(TM) (OMG(TM)), a software consortium responsible for
establishing distributed computing specifications, today announced the
program for its sixth annual workshop on Distributed Object Computing
for Real-time and Embedded Systems . There
will also be technology exhibits and demonstrations on Tuesday and
Wednesday of the workshop . More information about OMG can be found at www.

SOA is becoming the standard for
solution architecture because interfaces are platform-independent, and because
the ubiquitous and abstracted nature of the service supports flexibility in
choosing which service implementation to use.
