1. Internet2 and other US WMD Update

2. Topics Update on non-merger, Newnet (and the control plane), InCommon and other feds “Product” update – Shib, Grouper, Signet, Diagnostics, CAS, etc. New NSF Solicitation CAMP plans Sakai, Chandler, the Kuali administrative family Areas of ferment – GridShib, workflow, attribute/identity linking, collaboration and virtual organizations

3. 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…

4. Product Update Shib Signet Grouper Diagnostics CAS, pubcookie, etc…

5. New NSF Solicitation Three areas of emphasis – HPC improvements, distributed data, middleware for collab and VO’s New work and improvements on existing work Due Jan 22, 2007

6. CAMP plans Nov 2-3 IdM Summit Nov 7-9 Signet/Grouper Dec 4-7 I2 Fall Member Meeting Teragrid-campus IdM alignment? Feb 07 Federations and VO’s

8. Areas of ferment The GridShib family Workflow SOA architectures Attribute movement/identity linking Virtual organizations

10. 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

11. 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

12. 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

13. 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.)

14. 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
