CoNSIS: Demonstration of SOA Interoperability in Heterogeneous Tactical Networks Trude H. Bloebaum, Ketil Lund Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), Kjeller, Norway, {trude-hafsoe.bloebaum, ketil.lund}@ffi.no Abstract: The Coalition Network for Secure Information Sharing (CoNSIS) conducted a large scale experiment in Germany in June 2012. During this experiment, multiple aspects of interoperability in the tactical domain were tested in practice. This paper presents the challenges faced by Task 2, which focuses on service orientation, and the use of Web services technology as a means to achieve interoperability between nations. Furthermore, it describes how these challenges were addressed by the different information infrastructures involved. We also present our experiences with several central Web service standards, and describe some lessons learned when it comes to utilizing these standards in tactical networks. Keywords: SOA; Web services;service discovery; publish/subscribe I. Introduction The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) concept, most commonly implemented as Web services, is seen as a key enabler for meeting the technical interoperability requirements needed to achieve the NATO Network Enabled Capabilities (NNEC) vision. Within NATO, Web services technology has been the focus of the Core Enterprise Services (CES) working group, which has defined a number of common infrastructure services as core enterprise services. Having a common understanding of how these services are to be implemented and used is critical when attempting to achieve interoperability across national and systems boundaries. An important part of the work towards achieving this common understanding is to utilize these services in experimentation, in which the candidate technologies are tested under conditions similar to those found in an operational network. The Coalition Network for Secure Information Sharing (CoNSIS) is a multinational group consisting of members from Germany, France, USA, and Norway, with participants from both research institutions and industry. The objectives of this group are to develop, implement, test, and demonstrate technologies and methods that will facilitate the partners’ abilities to share information and services securely
