>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
> Current sessions offered during this CAMP include:
>
> - Three-Tier Problem: There are many instances in the Internet where
> one
> entity needs to act on behalf of or imitate another. For example,
> portals often access the user's own e-mail or class information on
> the
> user's behalf. This situation creates difficulties in protecting 
> the
> privacy of the end party, maintaining a secure connection, and
> appropriately evaluating authorization. 
>
> - Shibboleth Deployment: Shibboleth is an initiative to develop and
> deploy new middleware technologies that can facilitate
> inter-institutional collaboration and access to digital content. It
> supports a new model for access management control that is designed
> to
> be both scalable and easily administered for both campuses and
> content
> providers.
>
> More information on the tutorial and Advanced CAMP can be obtained
> on
> http://www.nmi-edit.org/news/adcamp.html.
> The number of tutorial
> participants is limited to 35, so sign up soon by choosing Yes on
> the
> drop down menu next to the question referencing Metamerge on the
> Advanced CAMP registration page.
>
> We will be offering wireless networking so bring your laptop and
> cards.
