Implementing Standards to Achieve Reliable Transacting

2. THE STUMBLING BLOCKS THAT PREVENT RELIABLE SYSTEMS
Transport Layer capabilities
Technology choices
Lack of RM features
Security
Application Layer Incompatibilities
No common XML vocabularies
Description of business semantics
Business Process Layer
New technologies
Role of modeling approaches

3. SUMMARY Many factors limit reliability across the communications stack
Transport layer reliability is only one part of the problem
Discuss reliability issues BEYOND the pure technology limitations
Goal: Understand what major factors influence the overall quality of a complex B2B communications system
