WGs, especially medical WG, for possible demonstration of HDTV technology (at New Zealand) • Pursue a focused meeting on the inter-operability testing and joint development of HD video over IP S/W (at New Zealand)

  5. eScience Working Group • Working group meeting attendance increase. • Created a sub group to discuss live eScience application demos in New Zealand. • Identify applications, contacts, resource requirements • Partner with HD working group to create an HD Optiportal resource which could be shared with other APAN working groups. • Low bandwidth HD video conference • Visualization • Interest in creating discipline specific focusing on areas such as Genomics, Climate, Geoscience.

  6. APAN Middleware WG: Background • Established on the 27th January 2006 for a period of 2 years. • WG Chair: Professor Yasuo Okabe (Kyoto University) • WG Co-Chair: James Sankar (AARNet). • Goals • Opportunity to discuss and participate in the latest middleware developments on topics such as • Identity Access Management (same and single sign on authentication and authorization infrastructures) • Federation frameworks (for scalable anywhere secure easy access to online resources) • Middleware solutions (Shibboleth, A-Select, Edugain, eduroam etc.) • Application integration to middleware (frameworks for common reusable components and tools to deliver specific middleware services) • Middleware policy • Work in conjunction with the Grid Committee to cover topics on (1) Middleware (2) Middleware for Higher Education (Identity Access Management) and (3) Grid Middleware (Grid application access and work flow).

  7. APAN Middleware WG: Charter/Work plan

  8. APAN Middleware WG: Summary of experiences • Positives • Lots of good information gathered and presented within and outside of APAN • Good synergies created with Grid Committee folks. • Many discussions on the development/role PKI offers • Eduroam in APAN has informally become a responsibility of this group • Areas for improvement • Little collaborative work done due to other priorities to develop the network infrastructure. Need to identify and acknowledge members’ development tracks as “fast & immediate”, “average” and “in consideration but not important” to develop subgroups within the WG, as some are more ready than others. • Identity Mgt on campus is becoming a real issue, IdM best practice and national/regional federations focus needs to continue. A survey of APAN members could be a good way to assess current status.

  9. APAN Middleware WG: Discussion notes on the future • The Group has requested an extension of its term to Jan 2010 • The Group will discuss and finalise a new name at the next conference because Middleware is too ambiguous • The new group will focus on the following key areas • Identity Management (campus/federated) • Eduroam • Grid Middleware • Elections have been held and positions confirmed as follows • Chair – Yasuo Okabe • Co-chair – Nate Klingenstein • Secretary – Kento Aida • The Group thanks APAN for its support over the past 2 years and hopes that its request for an extension can be approved at the APAN General Assembly.
