COmanage Developers List

Hi,

Here is a draft of the CAMP session abstract (due today):

Title: Enhancing collaboration for researchers across campuses using COmanage

Research and scholarship today is more collaborative than ever before and
collaborations extend beyond a single campus. Groups of researchers and
students from around the world need to come together and collaborate
efficiently. Identity federations like InCommon in the United States go a
long way to help make collaboration more efficient but identity federation
by itself is not enough. Research faculty need a collaboration management
platform (CMP) to help them create and manage collaboration spaces for
their project teams and streamline access to the data, applications, and
collaborative tools that power the collaborative research engine.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the Laser Interferometer
Gravitational-wave
Observatory (LIGO) have deployed COmanage, a CMP focused on supporting
research virtual collaborative organizations (COs). LIGO is using
COmanage to manage
the collaboration between itself and its sister project KAGRA in Japan. We 
will
demonstrate how a member of the KAGRA-LIGO working group enrolls, is approved,
and then gains access to LIGO web services that support joint KAGRA-LIGO
research.

Thanks,

Scott
