InCommon and the Committee on Institutional Cooperation

drupal — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:35:40 -0500

All dozen institutions comprising the CIC recently decided to join the InCommon Federation. This session will describe the motivation for and experience of joining InCommon. We'll also describe some of the use cases, including interactions with the federal government, interinstitutional access, and community source development projects.

Collaborators at the Gates of Troy: Extending E-Services at USC

drupal — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 11:04:17 -0600

This session will describe and explain the policy, practices, and technologies implemented at the University of Southern California to allow the extension of electronic services for learning, research, and collaboration to guests and colleagues at other higher education institutions.

Campus Infrastructure and Collaborative Application Integration

drupal — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 11:24:28 -0500

Campuses will provide part of the solution to the problem of managing access to resources supporting scholarly collaborations. We'll look at campus identity management tools and practices that hold promise for collaboration support, including a demonstration of a prototype "collaboration platform" to help shift our discussion from the abstract to a concrete casting of some of its elements and operational processes.

Building on Distributed Access Management

drupal — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 15:41:07 -0600

What is beyond or outside Stage 2 and 3? What is around the edges? Where is this architecture going? We will discuss possibilities and challenges for using these technologies in distributed or virtual organizations and identify needs not yet addressed, such as policy editing and standardized provisioning tools.

Federated Identity Management: Addressing the Risky Business

drupal — Tue, 18 Apr 2006 10:56:53 -0500

Accessing restricted resources held by a partner can be risky for both parties. This presentation will include a discussion of national and international federations, what the policy dimensions are for campuses, and how federations can be used as a basis for real-time security exchange.

The Future of Interboundary Collaboration

drupal — Tue, 14 Feb 2006 12:11:51 -0600

It all fits together: the campus authentication (and identity management) infrastructure is leveraged to share resources without divulging identity (if required) in a way that scales. So what's next? What if we successfully enable entirely new types of applications and relationships? How will this affect libraries, curriculums, and research projects? Will the boundaries between institutions blur? How will vendors play a role? Will we outsource our identity for someone else to manage because of liability and resource constraints? This session looks into the future and how our interboundary work might inform our institutions and change the nature of how we teach, research, and collaborate.
