Application Interoperability for Halliburton Workstation Application s S . M . DiPietro (dipietro@sierra .com ) Sierra Geophysics, Inc . 11255 Kirkland Way Kirkland, WA 9803 3 (206) 822-520 0 Halliburton Workstation (HWS) is an ongoing, multi-year effort within the Halliburton Energy Service s Group to develop a set of base technologies that can support the present and future data management an d processing needs of the corporation and its customers . One aspect of the HWS vision is "to create a commo n theme of data throughout the system . " One aspect of this common theme is to provide "applicatio n interoperability" so that applications developed by different teams at different locations within th e corporation can work together " seamlessly " at run-time . Another key aspect of this vision is development o f a common logical data model that encompasses the needs of HWS applications, together with a Share d Database Management System (SDBMS) to manage the physical data used by HWS applications . The key problem that must be addressed to attain application interoperability for HWS applications is tha t of maintaining consistency among the data contained in and the associated visualizations provided by a set o f cooperating applications . It is vitally important to ensure the consistency of the various views of the dat a presented to the end-user in order to prevent confusion and to ensure a high level of application usability . "Seamless interoperability" implies automatic data synchronization and coordination of "state" informatio n among a set of cooperating applications . In "seamless interoperability" the actions taken by an application i n response to a local data change notification include automatically updating the data content of th e application as well as any visual displays that depend upon the changed data . The information provided b y and visually displayed by a set of interoperating applications is kept synchronized, thereby providing a consistent set of information to the end-user . Significant effort at Sierra Geophysics has been devoted to exploring the subject of applicatio n interoperability . This work has included an exploration of application architectures, data sharing strategies , and interprocess communication (IPC) requirements . Work has also included prototypical implementatio n of various aspects of a working software system to accomplish application interoperability . The emphasis in this work has been data sharing for multiple cooperating applications operated by a singl e user . The lessons learned in attaining application interoperability will provide a reasonable first ste p toward attaining the more lofty goals of CSCW where data sharing among multiple applications operated b y multiple users is required .
