--CAMP SHIBBOLETH: ENABLING CAMPUS AND FEDERATED SINGLE SIGN-ON--
OVERVIEW: At this workshop, learn how Internet2's Shibboleth System can
provide Web single sign-on functionality that can be used for both
local applications and federated environments.
* Learn strategies for managing identity and privilege information
  used by the Shibboleth System
* Understand the management issues involved in running a Shibboleth-
  enabled learning management system
* Learn about SAML 2.0, the mechanism that carries the identity
  information
* Find out the questions you should ask your information/library
  vendors about SAML and Shibboleth System support

PREWORKSHOP SEMINARS: To help you prepare for the workshop, two
seminars will be held the morning of June 26 (separate registration and
fee required):
* Shibboleth Technical InstallFest
* Introduction to Identity Management: The Big Picture

IS THIS FOR YOU? The workshop is designed for IT managers, project
managers, identity management architects, and systems analysts. Prior
familiarity with identity management is recommended.

If you attended the 2004 CAMP Shibboleth workshop, this upcoming
workshop will show you real-world applications of the software, the
next steps for the software development team, and tips for running the
package in production.

--ADVANCED CAMP: WORKFLOW MODELS AND TECHNOLOGIES--
OVERVIEW: At this meeting, we will explore middleware-enhanced workflow
models and their requirements, and identify additional areas for
research and development. Among the topics we will discuss are:
* security use patterns in workflow, including the role of document
  digital signatures
* emerging technologies associated with workflow
* current workflow deployments and how middleware can support such
  deployments

IS THIS FOR YOU? The exploratory focus of this meeting will be fitting
for central campus IT strategists, technology architects, and related
leadership who have an in-depth knowledge of and experience with
implementing identity management.
