occurring at state and medical levels• US Gov interfederation peering is as strange as the

US Gov • InQueue is going away…

Vision in one slideVision 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-aidThe 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
