CNI Podcast: nanoHUB.org: Future Cyberinfrastructure - An Interview with George B. Adams IIICreated by Gerry Bayne (EDUCAUSE) on April 25, 2008
This podcast features an interview with George B. Adams III, Associate Director for Programs, Network for Computational Nanotechnology at Purdue University. Our interview was recorded at the CNI 2008 Spring Task Force Meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. nanoHUB provides users with “fingertip access” to over 70 simulation tools for research and education. Users not only launch jobs that are executed on the state-of-the-art computational facilities of Open Science Grid and TeraGrid, but also interactively visualize and analyze the results--all via an ordinary Web browser. nanoHUB middleware hides the complexity of Grid computing, handling authentication, authorization, file transfer, and visualization, and letting the researcher focus on research. This approach also helps educators bring these tools to the classroom, letting them bypass the difficulties of Grid computing and focus instead on learning science and engineering.

In this 42-minute recording from the 2006 EDUCAUSE Annual Conference, we'll hear from Thomas Barton and Michael Gettes in a session entitled NSF Middleware Initiative: Managing Identity on Campus. Sponsored by the NMI-EDIT Consortium of Internet2 and EDUCAUSE, this session explores the infrastructure needed and tools avaialble for managing identity data on campus. The Wizard of SOACreated by Susan Miltenberger (Maryland Institute College of Art) on February 02, 2007
I spent all day yesterday at an Oracle Fusion Middleware: Higher Education Oracle SOA Workshop. It was a great opportunity to get an introduction to SOA methodology and the Oracle toolset. In a past life (for about five minutes) I pretended to be a programmer and application developer (OK, even a DBA). But really, I just knew enough to break stuff. The first part of the workshop was thrilling. I had one of those “a-ha” moments where suddenly everything you’re working on and technology finally align; and in that one perfect moment everything comes together in absolute clarity! A few weeks ago we launched an initiative at Maryland Institute College of Art called “MICA Connected”. The goal of this two year project is to re-define our web presence and our web services – to connect all of our systems and processes in a way that is much more accessible to our communities -- and in a way that greatly improves our business and the services we offer. (Reminder: this is a blog. I work in the Technology department – not PR or Communications. This is my characterization of the project; not an official statement from Maryland Institute College of Art.) Some key components to MICA Connected are:
For more than a year, I’ve been absolutely convinced that this vision of MICA Connected is the direction we need to go in (from a technology perspective). However, I have such a minimal understanding (OK….no understanding) of the current tools and methodologies that can be used to make this a reality. My “a-ha!” moment came today when we were talking about SOA and standards based communications. The concept that components of our Oracle system (PeopleSoft Enterprise is what they’re calling it these days) can be exposed and accessible so that we can seamlessly integrate information into Blackboard, Resource25, our public website, WebTMA, Diebold and anything else we could hope for. In the first two hours of this class it was as if all the grand forces aligned to deliver a real solution to our goals. I didn’t see it coming, and it was…of course…to good to be true. The next four hours of the class were a lab where we got to build our own SOA services using data from an Oracle/PeopleSoft Learning Solution database. I cannot overstate the value of this kind of hands-on work. Even though we followed templates and utilized some shortcuts – the experience of building not one; not two; but three SOA applications in the lab environment was terrific. For me, however, this also paralleled Dorothy’s experience of seeing the wizard revealed. Here’s what’s behind the curtain:
