| theme |
Middleware is a layer of
software that acts as glue between applications and the Internet.
Although it is somehow difficult to define what middleware is (see
RFC2768), it surely provides fundamental services in various situations
such as authentication, authorization, accounting, directories,
resource management, information discovery and retrieval, and
security. Middleware solutions are starting to mature with a
number of frameworks emerging that should ideally make use of common
reusable components and tools to deliver specific middleware services
for communities such as researchers in GRID communities and teaching
and learning in Higher education for example. This workshop aims
to share experiences of developing and managing middlewares from both a
technical and policy aspect. It aims to bring together the
domains of applications developers and middleware and security experts
to identify areas of overlap and best practice so that the development
of solutions can be simple and ideally modular in nature to ensure
applications can be develop quickly and easily whilst conforming to
middleware and security standards. |
