D -- COMPONENT BROKER PLANNING SESSION SOL 142599PG7000142 DUE 040699 POC Cindy Nguyen 303/969-7235 E-MAIL: click here to contact the contracting officer, ccnguyen@dasc.doi.gov. The Department of the Interior's National Business Center (NBC), Products and Services Group is undertaking an initiative to establish a state-of-the-art systems development environment at its Denver Office. This office hosts an IBM-configured, mainframe-based Data Center. The framework for this environment is the Denver Administrative System Architectural Reference Model (DASARM). Information technology standards important to this model include but are not limited to Open Database Connectivity, Structured Query Language, and Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). The fundamental objective of this development environment is the web-enablement of the NBC's administrative systems. The NBC intends to employ IBM's Component Broker or equal to satisfy the CORBA standard. Therefore, the NBC requires assistance in planning for a Component Broker implementation. An intensive planning session is anticipated, during which the application of Component Broker to the DASARM and ultimately to the target open/web development environment would be thoroughly explored. The objective of the planning session is to provide the NBC with a project plan for the development of an open/web proof-of-concept application and a Statement of Work that would effect the plan.
