I2 Stuff • Divorce with NLR now final; competition is on • Changes in governance, may lead to change in leadership, may lead to a change in culture… • Newnet rolling out well; lots of delta politics; control plane is real need; DICE and global scheduling • InCommon slowly growing; other US federations occurring at state and medical levels • US Gov interfederation peering is as strange as the US Gov • InQueue is going away…
Product Update • Shib • Signet • Grouper • Diagnostics • CAS, pubcookie, etc…

General collaboration tools • The standard suite… • List serve, protected wiki, IM buddy list, audioconferencing, access-controlled web site, videoconferencing, shared calendaring, etc… • Integrated with enterprise-based systems • No separate calendars to maintain • Consistent user interface in managing local and virtual lives
An Archetype: Jean Blue and VOGUE • Professor Jean Blue • Professor of Micro-astro Physics at Sandstone U, teaching MAP 1010 • PI of international VOGUE project • Fiscal authority of local VOGUE funds • Parking permit for Lot 421 • ID Card
Things that Jean Blue wants to do • As PI of VOGUE, she gets lots of VOGUE privileges. She wants to • Assign to students of MAPS 101 permission to read the VOGUE mass-hypometer • Assign to the four TA/discussion leaders permission to reset the mass-hypometer • Facilitate on-line discussions among the students taking classes at other universities from her co-PI’s • Have read/write privileges on the VOGUE wiki, and give her students read access to parts of the Wiki
Vision in one slide • Build a campus/enterprise core middleware infrastructure that • Serves the overall enterprise IT environment, providing business drivers and institutional investment for sustainability and scalability • Is designed to support the research and instructional missions • Implies consistent approaches and common practices across campuses and internationally • Build, plumb, and replumb the tools of research on top of that emergent infrastructure • Domain-specific middleware (grids, sensor nets, etc) • Common collaboration tools (video, protected wikis, shared calendaring, audioconferencing, etc.)
The Current Kool-aid • Campuses build consistent and sustainable middleware infrastructures • Federating software and federations create effective inter-institutional collaboration infrastructure • Federations peer internationally and across sectors to extend the value • Virtual organizations leverage campus infrastructure and peered federations for user-centric enterprise-manageable teams
