12. A Resource-Oriented FrameworkA Context-Aware Information System implemented as a RESTful Intermediary. All system communications are based on a Uniform Interface.Clients traverse links consistent with HATEOAS.Generative - all payloads, including generalized next steps, are generated dynamicallyNo Domain Specific Languages, just generalized capabilities from coordinated Resources. A Framework for Situationally-Aware Composite Applications and Emergent Process.3Copyright 2011, Consilience International LLC

13. Out-of-Band ContextThe System exploits out-of-band context to return targeted responses that optimize business relevance and support precise in-flight application of policies (i.e. business rules; system governance; transaction controls). Out-of-Band context includes any URI accessible to the system via its virtual information layer (e.g. data; business entities; program code; RESTful Services; RESTfully encapsulated legacy systems; etc.).Responses are run-time constructions because context is temporal.The System provides Lifecycle Management of all system Resources with automatic version control and roll-back capability. Version is part of context, applications co-evolve with their constituent Resources.4Copyright 2011, Consilience International LLC

14. Connectedness - It’s a Small World After AllVirtual Information layer induces a graph information model, the system is a ‘Small World Network’.An Agent fetches Out-of-Band Context based on machine and user generated metadata tags as guided by Metaprograms and policies.5Copyright 2011, Consilience International LLC

15. READ-WRITE-EXECUTECoordinates loosely-coupled Resources (Nouns) to act like Services (Verbs) without the cost, indirection, or latency of middleware-centric approaches (i.e. no ESB, BPEL, BPMN, CEP, etc). Interoperability with the opportunity to consolidate patterns by devolving capabilities from middleware to generalizable capabilities of a system of systems.Moves web from Read/Write (CRUD) to Read/Write/Execute, where execute is RESTful coordination of loosely-coupled distributed Resources.6Copyright 2011, Consilience International LLC

16. Emergent ProcessInteraction-driven system supports emergent processes without limitations of finite state map.The degree of structure (i.e. control logic) is a runtime variable. The system balances interests, as flexible as possible for business relevance and as procedural as necessary for compliance. Addresses a gap in process collaboration technologies; current product offerings are either too rigid (e.g. ERP; Expert Systems; BPMS; etc.) or too ad hoc (e.g. activity streams; email; case management).7Copyright 2011, Consilience International LLC

17. ImplementationsTargeted at complex, long-running, human-centered, indeterminate goal-driven work that are impacted by events and characterized by exceptions – ‘knowledge-work’.Initially focused on R&D sector with deployments and test sites around the world, and in discussions with Enterprise Architects at Financial Companies, Hotel Chains, and other Industries.8Copyright 2011, Consilience International LLC
