Welcome • Welcome to the Camp, I guess you all know why we're here.Tommy, byPete Townsend, The Who • We're not gonna take itNever did and never willWe're not gonna take itGonna break it, gonna shake it,let's forget it better still
Orientation Orientation • Camp Goals, Schedules and Processes • Acknowledgements • What’s Been Happening Since We Last Met • the global tides • campus currents • The next few days…
CAMP Desiderata • Interaction • Technical/political drill-downs on key topics • Development of a body of knowledge on the N-Tier Problem • Sharing of campus experiences • Feedback mechanisms • to the priorities • to the white papers, conventions and best practices, policies • to this meeting and this process • Volunteers

National Science Foundation • Catalytic grant in Fall 99 started the organized efforts, with Early Adopters and Early Adopters • NSF Middleware Initiative - three year cooperative agreement, begun 9/1/01, with Internet2/EDUCAUSE/SURA and the GRIDs Center, to develop and deploy a national middleware infrastructure for science, research and higher education • Work products are software, community standards, best practices, schema and objectclasses, reference implementations, open source services, corporate relations • Work areas are identifiers, directories, authentication, authorization, GRIDs, PKI, video
The Last Six Months… • Context – NMI and A RoadMap • The Basic Directory Work • Higher Ed Efforts • The Marketplace • The Rise of Federated Administration • Shibboleth and PKI • Grids and OGSA • Web Services – WS, GXA and OASIS
What is the NMI? • NSF award for integrators to • Globus (NCSA, UCSD, University of Chicago, USC/ ISI, and University of Wisconsin) • Internet2, EDUCAUSE, and SURA • Build on the successes of the Globus project and the Internet2/MACE initiative • Multi-Year Effort • A practical (deployment) activity that necessitates some research and much development • Separate awards to academic pure research “throw it long” components
Desired NMI Outcomes • Enable scientific and research sharing of resources • Collaboration tools • A model for achieving interoperability for the research and higher ed communities (8 testbeds to walk the walk) • Influence and leverage commercial development
NMI Release 1 • A collection of middleware materials of benefit to research and education • A recipe of ingredients and integration that enable researchers to use remote resources • Includes • major new releases of Grid software and some new software tools • extensions to community objectclasses for collaboration • white papers on the middleware architectural issues in video conferencing and video on demand • best practices in directories • groups • Metadirectories • Available on www.nsf-middleware.org on May 7, 2002
Grid 2.0 – advanced computing and instrumentation software Condor-G – harnessing idle workstations for compute power Network Weather Service – predict host-destination performance but not end-end performance KX.509 – convert Kerberos tickets into temporary PKI certs Pubcookie – Web initial sign-on software, to provide intrarealm web single login CPM – software to help configure certificate profiles Release 1 Software
NMI Release 1 White Papers • Video • Architectural Issues in Videoconferencing Authentication and Authorization – H.323, SIP, VRVS, AG, etc. • Directories and Objectclasses in Support of Videoconferencing • Resource Discovery Issues and Recommendations for Videoconferencing • The Role of Directories in Video on Demand • PKI • A Draft Certificate Policy for Higher Ed Institutions • A Draft Lightweight Certificate Policy/Practice Statement for Higher Education
The Last Six Months:Basic Directory Work (NMI Release 1 Directory Items) • eduPerson 1.5 – an objectclass for higher ed collaboration • eduOrg 1.0 – an objectclass to store higher ed institutional information • comObj 1.0 – an object superclass to support desktop videoconferencing • LDAP Recipe 2.0 – a guidebook on how campuses can build enterprise directories and enable applications. • Best Practices in Metadirectories – technical recommendations for enterprise-wide directory services • Best Practices in Groups – technical recommendations on managing groups and group math in directories • International Adoption…
The Last Six Months:Directory Marketplace Development • Directory enabled apps emerge, although the directories are internal • Sun One becomes a product line • IBM acquires Metamerge • Identity Management Services becomes the buzz • It’s the XML, stupid… • The rise of OASIS
The Last Six Months:Federated Administration • Passport adopts a federated angle. • Liberty Alliance grows and announces 1.0 specs • Federal e-Authentication initiative announced • WS-Sec and WS-Trust conceived as part of GXA • SAML becomes a standard • Burton Group conducts first SAML bake-off with a dozen participants • Federated digital rights management emerges as an area of interest
The Last Six Months:Shibboleth • 1.0 design completed • Alpha-1 code released • OpenSAML released • IP issues largely worked out • Alpha-2 code released • Beta team (CMU, OSU, MIT) now at work • International interest in deployment and development • Flying pigs and clubs
The Last Six Months:PKI • HEBCA briefly exists in NIH grant submission pilot • I2/NIST/NIH PKI Research Conference • Federal bridge edges forward • One-off CA’s spring up in Europe and US to support Grids • U Texas Medical Center continues roll-out • No one gives it up once they get it…
The Last Six Months:Grids and OGSA • Some 80 global scientific experiments intend to use Grid technologies; Federal and European agencies endorse • Leverage of campus infrastructure a stated but unmet need of NMI • Globus Tool-kit 2.0 released as part of NMI • Globus 3.0 and beyond to be built on Open Grid Services Architecture, joint venture of IBM and Argonne, with involvement from Microsoft • Non-Globus Grid components emerge • The Global Grid Forum struggles to become an international standards body
The Last Six Months:Web Services • Web Services gets more buzz as the web grows and firewalls happen • GXA and the WS-* family from Microsoft • UDDI is slow in adoption • Companies vend web services • OASIS role as standards • Other “standards” groups include W3C, WS-I.org, and IETF
The Next Few Days • Catch up on some of the stuff that the press of business obscures • Ask lots of questions • Help build the collective knowledge base and folklore • Offer recommendations on future programmatic directions • Help us figure out the ongoing interactions • Enjoy Boulder • Leave water…
