Middleware Announcements

[Renee Frost <>]

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the
Internet2 webinar "Deploying and Supporting Federations" to be
held Tuesday, June 22 at 11 am EDT. Space is limited, so please register
today at
http://webinar.internet2.edu
______________________________________________________________________________________

Internet2 Webinars are "low-tech," 60 - 90 minute seminars on
advanced networking topics designed primarily for Internet2 corporate
members.  Although the content of the June 22 webinar will have a
corporate focus, all Internet2 members are invited to
participate.   With just a phone and web browser, members can
attend this unique educational seminar and interact with the
presenters.  Admission is free.

Federated administration has emerged as a promising new direction for
inter-realm trust models, and companies from a diverse range of
industries are investigating sector federations. Please join Ken
Klingenstein, Internet2 Director of Middleware and Security, along with
industry experts, for a discussion of real-world practices for deploying
and supporting federations and approaches to addressing the challenges of
federated administration. First speculations on inter-federation issues
will also be shared.

Please pass this invitation on to others in your organization who might
be interested in federations or middleware generally.
