Boundaryless Information Flow & Enterprise Architecture

Washington DC

Responses to Call For Boundaryless Information Flow Architecture Papers

The Open Group solicited papers and presentations from vendors and other technology providers addressing "Architectures for Boundaryless Information Flow." The selected papers were presented during the Washington Conference.

All in all the conference demonstrated that 1) Boundaryless Information Flow is a real and relevant problem, and 2) Enterprise Architecture plays a significant role in achieving Boundaryless Information Flow.

In that call for papers The Open Group asked for papers that describe architectural approaches addressing one or more of six models of Boundaryless Information Flow listed below:

  1. Strategic Decision Support
  2. Retail Sales Boundarylessness
  3. Relationship-Based Retail Services
  4. Online Publishing
  5. Supply Chain Automation
  6. Interpersonal Interactions

Eliot Solomon has written a paper on Approaches to Boundaryless Information Flow Architecture (.pdf) a report from the Washington Conference and the call for papers. His paper reviews the papers and presentations that were submitted in response to the call for papers. In this paper Eliot looks at commonalities and differences, and begins to draw conclusions about the future of IT architecture in general, and the Reference Architecture for Boundaryless Information Flow in particular.

The following table provides pointers to the responses to the call.
