Regional ITU Consultation on Conformance Assessment and Interoperability for the Africa region (Nairobi, Kenya, 30 -31 July 2010 ) Measuring Interoparability: From Theory to Practice Dr. Ulrich Sandl, Head of Division Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010
The political dimension of interoperability Interoperability means (not only) Functional capability But also Competition Lower prices Innovation Independence Transparency and Openness (security) 2 Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010
The political framework(s) in Germany and the EU On European level The Digital Agenda The European Interoperability Framework In Germany The ICT Strategy (Germany 2015) SAGA (Standards and Architectures fo e-government) 3 Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010
The carrot and the stick strategy The carrot R&D Public Procurement The stick Competition law(s) Regulation And. . . 4 Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010
The practice: testing wether it works 5 Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010
The challenges for interoperability testing The dynamic technological environment The different application areas The convergence of new technologies Downwards interoperability The costs. . . 6 Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010
The areas of needs from public procurement in Germany (1) Application Area Application software System software IT security Plug in card Network interfaces Micro cpontroller Storage media Chipset (CPU) Yes, there are problems 73, 5 72, 1 53, 6 25, 6 28, 6 25, 8 22, 5 21, 9 7 Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010 Institut IW, 2009 für Wirtschaft, 2009
The areas of needs from public procurement in Germany (2) High • • • Guidelines for the implementation of standards Consistent interpretation of standards Acceptance testing incl. interoperability confirmation Low • Conformance testing addressed with early and continuous consideration of interoperability aspects in public procurement 8 Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010
How to achieve interoperability – in general Standards are the basis for interoperability • • Profiling is the framework for the use of a standard • Gaps of interpretation anticipate interoperability BUT: standard conformity means not (necessarily) interoperability Reduction of interpretation gaps Testing methods and guidelines for the documented evidence of interoperability • Closing of interpretation gaps 9 Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010
The cost benefit relationship interoperability time and effort 10 Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010
Precondition of a testing body Vendor neutrality Uses consistent and mature (acknowledged) testing methods Is incorporated in a mutual recognition network 11 Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010
How to achieve interoperability in public procurement Enable public procurers to integrate „interoperability“ as criteria in public procurement processes establish testlabs as a test environment to prove interoperability and to develop and demonstrate a transparent, standardized and robust valuation methodology develop typical scenarios with the objective of analyzing, testing, verifying and demonstrating interoperability of selected systems in specific areas of application Set up an information and communication portal to deliver common and specific information to stakeholders and foster the building of an interoperability-community and assure equal access to information 12 Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010
Five basic steps of an interoperability methodology 13 Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010
Test process Scenario-based testing Identification of typical and relevant requirements and scenarios (Semi-)Automated test execution Specification-based testing Extension of scenario-based tests with conformance-oriented tests Objective test specifications (TTCN-3) Fully automated test execution 14 Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010
Project aims • Proof and publication of interoperability of between products, systems and solutions Developing actions to support the enhancement of interoperability, with a special focus on public procurement Developing and upgrading of testbeds Specifying and profiling of existing standards Developing certifiable test processes and –solutions Facilitation of an acknowledged proof • Make products, systems and solutions more transparent Providing best-practice examples, experiences, instructions and publications • Reduction of the lack of information Setting up a modern communication- and information platform Promoting the dialogue with interoperability-community • And… 15 Nairobi, Kenya, 30 – 31 July 2010 15
