  3. 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…

  4. 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

  5. Now Show of hands for Wednesday’s BOF’s Camp evaluation: value, timing (length and weekends), frequency, what can make them better? Ongoing Join working groups React to developing standards Subscribe to the lists mw-announce and mw-discuss What is needed from you…

  6. Schedule

  7. Wednesday Night BoFs

  8. Acknowledgments • MACE • Internet2 Membership • Corporate Partners, including Sun, IBM, and others • International Participants • Federal Agencies, including NSF, NIST and NIH

  9. MACE (Middleware Architecture Committee for Education) • Purpose - to provide advice, create experiments, foster standards, etc. on key technical issues for core middleware within higher education • Membership - Bob Morgan (UW) Chair, Scott Cantor (Ohio State), Steven Carmody (Brown), Michael Gettes (Georgetown), Keith Hazelton (Wisconsin), Paul Hill (MIT), Jim Jokl (Virginia), Mark Poepping (CMU), Bruce Vincent (Stanford), David Wasley (California), Von Welch (Grid) • European members - Brian Gilmore (Edinburgh), Ton Verschuren (Netherlands), Diego Lopez (Spain) • Creates working groups in major areas, including directories, interrealm access control, PKI, medical issues, etc. • Works via conference calls, emails, occasional serendipitous in-person meetings...

  10. Internet2 Membership • Todd Pickett (Michigan Tech), Egon Verhoren (SURFnet), Brendan Bellina (Notre Dame), Philip Galanter (NYU), Albert Steiner (Northwestern), Art Vandenburg (Georgia State), Tyler Johnson (North Carolina), Walter Hoehm (Columbia), Mairead Martin (Tennessee), Tom Barton (Memphis), Saul Tannenbaum (Tufts), Chad LaJoie (Virginia Tech), Peter Brantley (NYU), Jim DeRoest (Washington), Eric Norman (Wisconsin), Paula Vaughan (Colorado), Michael Grady (Illinois), Derek Atkins (MIT), Steve Kellogg (PSU), Jack Buchanon (Tennessee), Chris Misra (UMass), Tom Dopirak (CMU), etc...

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. 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

  16. 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

  17. 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

  18. A Map of Middleware Land

  19. 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…

  20. 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

  21. 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

  22. 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

  23. 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…

  24. 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

  25. 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

  26. The Last Six Months:Some Campuses…

  27. 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…
