[news.eclipse.technology.almiif] Re: Proposal question 
Cliff,

We are going to focus initially on establishing a common ALM vocabulary with the appropriate level of abstraction that models entity types, relationships and events. Subsequently, we will identify loosely-coupled "services" that interact with the meta-model and entities. These services could then be orchestrated to assemble applications that span the lifecycle.

Given that these services might share interdependent underlying data, we also need to create a data abstraction layer for both applications and data.

We are currently investigating various open source technologies that could address some of these requirements. As an example, we might be able to leverage Mule as a lightweight messaging framework and an object broker that handles the interactions between applications or JBPM for service orchestration.

Are you aware of other open source initiatives that might be applicable here?

Thank you,
Ali.

Ali,

Will ALMIIF be reusing an existing open source ESB product or are you
proposing that this project also develops its own ESB platform?  If the
proposal includes building an ESB platform, can you tell us more about that
aspect?

Thanks,
Cliff
