The Essence of Net Centricity
It’s the opposite of system-centricity or enterprise integration It’s about dynamic crossing of system and organizational
boundaries to achieve objectives– Greater operational effectiveness through better use of
what already exists – not just what you “own” or control It’s not about the network – it’s about who/what you can
interact with via the network for your purposes when you need to
It challenges existing business/acquisition and doctrinal paradigms and incentive models– more revolutionary than most realize
It challenges system/enterprise-centric system engineering and architecture paradigms
Net-Centricity – a full contact social sport 2
The Cloud and the Net
The Net enables the Cloud– Without a net there is no cloud– Arguably, the net IS the cloud
Network accessible services decoupled information system functionality from execution platform attributes– Advent of net-centric SOAs, albeit within the enterprise
The Cloud decouples services from execution platform ownership
Some coupling remains, however:– Platform and network performance still matter– Human/Institutional tolerance for risk – Incentives for assuming risk (contracts, treaties, enforcement)

Scope and Interdependence
What information and services are you willing to entrust to the cloud?– Not a binary issue; It’s a balancing act between trust, risk and
potential reward– Some information and services are more critical or sensitive
than others; select appropriate scope– Your own ability to resource and protect your information and
services is limited by your business model/budget
Dependence on others is both risk and reward– Risk of failure to perform (negligence, accident, ill-intent)– Reward of sharing resource costs with others, agility
Enabled by legal framework and recourse mechanism– The net enables/entails a global perspective on this– Also a constraint (e.g., ITAR, privacy laws)

NCOIC and the Cloud
Currently exploring formation of a Cloud Computing WG under Specialized Frameworks– Would complement Services WG charter
SCOPE model for exploring information/services scope, institutional alignment/interdependence risk, and technical feasibility issues over the net
Patterns to facilitate alignment of architecture fragments among systems and institutions– Operational Patterns (including business/policy models)– Capability Patterns (specific purpose driven)– Technical Patterns (implementation models)
