The MAP is ISDA's service to software developers and other technical power-users at MIT. We will leverage all necessary technologies to make software development and system implementation by the MIT Community community faster and easier, and to make access to enterprise data both easier and more secure.

The current priorities of MAP are:

  1. Mechanics: Continued support and improvement of server and core web-application environments
  2. Identity: Services for sign-on, authentication, authorization; application identities for service integration
  3. Client Integration: Environment for community-built applications with a migration path to services integration such as "Web 2.0," "mashups," and "portals"
  4. IDE: Standard workstation environment for developers with MIT security, standard tools and packages, standard localhost server environments, etc
  5. Reference: Reference implementations for Identity, Client Integration, and Service Integration tracks with documentation and community support; standardized J2EE "stack
  6. Client Integration: Environment for community-built applications with a migration path to services integration such as "Web 2.0," "mashups," and "portals"
  7. Service Integration: Development of SOA-style services around content and collaboration for use in community-built applications.
  8. Mechanics: Continued support and improvement of server and core web-application environments

Here are some concrete results expected from pursuing these priorities:

  • Simple, reusable reference implementations in Java and PHP for accessing enterprise services from your web application.
  • Touchstone: web single-sign-on, and other services, to make authenticating MIT users easier.
  • SOAP and REST services to information about people and groups.
  • A standard web server package for running PHP and Java applications.
  • Modernized Athena/Linux workstation with support for a battery of developer tools.
  • References and standard tools for monitoring, testing, and logging web applications.
