Enterprise Application Integration in the U.S. Military
McDonald Bradley Corporation (Herdon, VA) has played an important role in the U.S. military's Horizontal Fusion project. According to John Sutton, Senior VP of their Advanced Programs Group, the military recognizes that it has the same problems with stovepipe systems isolation as industry has. The goal of the Horizon Fusion project is to provide a version of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) over these separated military systems.
Mr. Sutton explained that the project uses XML Web Services as key technology and plans call for a central (and innovative) use of UDDI as well as the other web services standards (WSDL and SOAP). You can find an excellent summary and an informative tutorial here.
