8. Accountability for the technical components of the design and successful operation of the ESB solution within DOE

9. Document standards and procedures for the definition of reference architectures

10. Provide inputs in architecting, designing, and implementing a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

11. Responsible for the delivery of architecture artifacts that will demonstrate the projects adherence to strategy, design patterns, and best practices

12. Provide detailed guidance and direction for design and implementation of development frameworks and design patterns for consumption across multiple development teams
