3.00 – 3.30 Scott Wilson, CETIS: MAMS (Meta-Access Management System)
MAMS is a DEST-funded project which Scott has been working on in Australia;
investigating critical issues in middleware which affect educational
institutions. The initial phase has been investigating access management
(authentication and authorization), both within an institution (e.g. single
sign-on), and between partner institutions ('federations').
Other relevant work in this area has included a US 'Internet 2' project called
Shibboleth, and the Liberty Alliance initiative within the e-business
community. The MAMS project is looking at the potential of these and other
technologies to be effective and practical solutions for education, and
investigating how they integrate with the key educational applications within
libraries, e-learning and e-science.
Scott will discuss what MAMS is investigating (including the current MAMS
reference model for inter-institutional access management), what they plan to
deliver, and how that could be of practical value to institutions.
3.30 – 3.45 Questions to Scott
3.45 – 4.00 Tea and coffee and final networking
