The Components Subcommittee is responsible for fostering the identification, maturation, use and reuse of Component-Based Architectures and architectural components in the Federal Government. Expected Outcomes Identification of business processes, service components, and technologies for reuse through analysis of the FEA reference models Reduction of IT costs for Federal agencies achieved through the reuse of business processes, service components, and technologies Rapid solution development through the reuse of components Rapid integration of disparate business services Development and implementation of e- Gov solutions based on Component- Based Architectures Expected Outcomes Identification of business processes, service components, and technologies for reuse through analysis of the FEA reference models Reduction of IT costs for Federal agencies achieved through the reuse of business processes, service components, and technologies Rapid solution development through the reuse of components Rapid integration of disparate business services Development and implementation of e- Gov solutions based on Component- Based Architectures FY 2004 Focus Areas Complete and publish Component White Paper and Component Life Cycle Guide to promote awareness and understanding of architectural components and their use Launch CORE.GOV, a cross- agency forum for component development, registration, and re-use Establish and launch an on- line resource for EA best practices for Federal, State and Local use FY 2004 Focus Areas Complete and publish Component White Paper and Component Life Cycle Guide to promote awareness and understanding of architectural components and their use Launch CORE.GOV, a cross- agency forum for component development, registration, and re-use Establish and launch an on- line resource for EA best practices for Federal, State and Local use

The Emerging Technology Subcommittee is responsible for identifying technologies with the potential to improve FEA value and quality, examining cross-cutting components, and developing recommendations for their use. Expected Outcomes Improved value and common understanding of the FEA Faster adoption of validated capabilities for FEA use, based on registry creation and pilot findings Better understanding of FEA tradeoffs as established and emerging technologies compete and converge Greater FEA valuation and longer component life cycles through market-based, open standards technologies and decreased usage of proprietary technologies Expected Outcomes Improved value and common understanding of the FEA Faster adoption of validated capabilities for FEA use, based on registry creation and pilot findings Better understanding of FEA tradeoffs as established and emerging technologies compete and converge Greater FEA valuation and longer component life cycles through market-based, open standards technologies and decreased usage of proprietary technologies FY 2004 Focus Areas Develop and implement processes for identifying and scanning for potential components, based on AIC priorities Develop and implement processes for evaluating identified components FY 2004 Focus Areas Develop and implement processes for identifying and scanning for potential components, based on AIC priorities Develop and implement processes for evaluating identified components

The Administration supports market-based solutions that embrace the ideals of competition, innovation and choice. Federal acquisition practices must:  Provide for consistent use of competition, well-structured contracts designed to produce cost-effective quality performance from contractors, and solid contract management  Ensure that taxpayer dollars are well managed, wisely used, and deliver positive results Agency acquisition decisions must be based on sound, integrated planning processes, that effectively:  Maximize the value and minimize the risks of IT investments  Promote the integration, interoperability and adaptability of IT investments, as well as management of their scale and flexibility  Ensure that IT investments contribute measurable results to mission performance
