Ken Klingenstein, Benn Oshrin CoManage and CoCoA
CoManage and CoCoA • CoManage • An identity management system for virtual organizations and collaborations • Addresses identity and access control; leverages Shibboleth, federation, Grouper and … • CoCoA (Comanage + Conext + Applications) • Integrates Comanage with • Connext, an open source Dutch collaboration platform • Any domesticated application, including lists, wikis, audioconferencing, videoconferenceing, Google Docs, Al Fresco, Adobe Connect, doodle, command line, etc.
Collaboration platforms • Drive identity and access control for both general collaboration and domain-specific research apps • Leverage existing IdM technologies • Leverage existing IdM deployed infrastructure • Offer a variety of implementation and deployment options • https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/COmanage/Video
Use Cases • LIGO – a major international gravitational physics community with scientists and instruments • Raising – a collaborative effort with community, K-12 and university to preserve the history of an old school • Tenuring – a typical academic process
ABC: A Typical Collaboration and IdM • Has 50 researchers who can schedule ABC instruments, run compute jobs on the TG with ABC allotments, etc • Has 500 academics who need access controlled wikis, ad hoc calendaring (ala Doodle), lists, VO event calendaring, file sharing, chat rooms, videoconferencing, etc. • Has administrators at fifteen universities who can access rosters, change roles, etc. • Has partner VO’s in other countries, with varying privileges on what they can see and use on ABC resources • Has outreach coordinators at 50 school districts who can post/read to certain wiki sections • Works closely with publishers, funding agencies, etc.
Key collaboration questions • What is the anticipated collaboration lifecycle? • Drives deployment models • Who will use/participate? • Drives IdM • Who will administer/manage access controls? • Drives management strategies • What tools and apps does the collaboration need? • Pick from a growing buffet of choices
LIGO • A long-term international cluster of gravitational physicists and their instruments, with hubs in the US, Netherlands, Japan, Italy, and soon India • Complex sharing rules across groups • Seeking integration across instrument management, data analysis, document sharing, outreach • Enabling competition and collaboration
Who participates • Researchers on four continents and their grad students • Undergraduates and K-12 for outreach • Scientific agencies and their program officers
Who manages • PI’s and admins manage large scale permissions • Individual teams create subareas to work on experiments • Coopition among groups creates security issues
The first LIGO List for domestication • wiki/web (read, read-write, admin) • mailing list (subscribe, moderate, post-only, view-archive, admin) • repository (read, read-write, admin) • ticketing system (post, view, modify, manage) • voting system (create, vote, view) • calendaring • polling • dcc- document control center • command line tools • grid space • guests • googleapps • conferencing • activity streams • roster
Raising A School Lifecycle • A collaboration among the students in an old school, alumni, university departments to capture and preserve the history of the building, as it is being razed and a new school built. • Classes in education and history at the university are working with teachers, students, and community in driving the collaboration • Collaboration to exist for two years in development and outreach, then be preserved in the new school and periodically annotated • The history includes photos, journals, records, audio tapes of interviews, discussions, etc.
Raising Participants • Faculty and classes in the University Depts of History and Education • Students in K-12 classes • Community participants
Raising A School Managers • Initially, project leaders, university faculty • University classes will create the initiative, under guidance of faculty and school district staff • Bring in community leaders • Then add Community driven groups • Any group can create a small set of services (wiki, list, photo service, etc) - Distributed and delegated
Raising applications • Wiki • Lists • Doodle • Google Docs • Adobe Connect • On-line photo sharing site with access controls for tagging, etc. • Event calendar with distributed authority
Tenuring lifecycle • Gathering of materials • Internal review processes • Committees within the College • Committees across the university • Student input mechanisms • External reviewers
Who participates • Internal faculty • External scholarly reviewers • Students
Applications • Wiki • Scheduling committee tools • Lists • Secure, synchronizing external storage (alaDropbox) • Anonymous but restricted student input mechanisms
