Summary of requirement pre-interview,

by

Reviewer:

Application

developers

need

to

be

able

to

easily

use

the

infrastructure to create workflows without having to figure out how to integrate the data or services, the infrastructure should step them through it and just ask for things that are not already available - need to be able to reuse stored Platform Independent Models (PIMs) to create Platform Specific Models (PSM) - almost transparent to the end user (application developers) - the metadata should be compared and possible integration points served up. 

Ideally, the workflow authoring tool would lead the user through steps to fit data to the service, or services together at different levels (1,2,3,4)

where

the

output

from

one

level

can

be

used

as

input

to

another

level

-

such

as

a

pre-processing

step

that

is

needed

before

inputting

the

data

to

another

service.

  Alternatively,

the

system

could

serve

up

data

sources

that

can

be

used

with

a

particular

service,

and

note

the

services

that

might

be

interesting

to

run

before

or

after

the

one

you

are

looking

at.

  The

system

shoudl

be

able

to

find

and

reuse appropriate transformation services,

and

save

the

workflow

for

use/resue

by

the

author

or

others.

Everything needed to use the application should be available from the download, like Scratch from MIT scratch.mit.edu

(good

example):

Click

through

setup,

 instructions,

release

notes,

faqs,

 links to

support

desk.

caIntegrator

is

a

project

that

will

help

SI

team

understand

the

use

cases.

Recommended Next Step Enter one: Follow-up

interview,

Observe,

Use

Case

Template

(text),

Use

Case

Model

(formalized/UML

diagram),

Group

Discussion,

Prototype,

Waiting

Room

Use

case decomposition.
