Profile of the Web-Based Infrastructure Implementation Task Force

Many styles of multimedia conferencing are likely to co-exist on the Internet, and many of them share the need to invite users to participate. The Session Invitation Protocol (SIP) is a simple protocol designed to enable the invitation of users to participate in such multimedia sessions. It is not tied to any specific conference control scheme, providing support for either loosely or tightly controlled sessions. In particular, it aims to enable user mobility by relaying and redirecting invitations to a user's current location. This document is a product of the Multiparty Multimedia Session Control (MMUSIC) working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force. Comments are solicited and should be addressed to the working group's mailing list at [email protected] and/or the authors. Status of this Memo This document is an Internet-Draft.

Executive Summary National Science Foundation support for scientific cyberinfrastructure dates to the 1960s. Since about 2000, however, efforts in cyberinfrastructure development have gathered momentum, guided by an increasingly comprehensive vision. Yet assembling the range of NSF-sponsored projects into a genuine infrastructure���highly reliable, widely accessible basic capabilities and services supporting the full range of scientific work���remains an elusive goal. Close study of other infrastructures, from ...

The WebReports website allows children to create text-based and interactive content that is accessible on line and to comment on each other's work, thereby being provided with opportunities to collaboratively build knowledge around a range of different learning domains. In this document we first summarise our key findings. We then provide an account of the evolution of the system during the three years of the project, giving the rationale for our major changes. Finally, we describe the functionality and architecture of the final version ...

The Turn to Infrastructure in Internet Governance, 2016

Discussing results of our joint project that examines the complex interactions among intergovernmental organizations and other transnational institutions and nonstate actors in the global Internet governance ecosystem, this study highlights themes related to the changing architecture and roles of international organizations from WSIS (World Summit on the Information Society) until NetMundial. Attention is paid to old and new categories of organizations that emerged in this context; and how they have been recognized as stakeholders in the process. These organizations form a network, set in an environmental context, thus constituting the interorganizational infrastructure for internet governance today. Additionally, tracing knowledge flows and power differentials over time among the different stakeholder organizations helps to illustrate a major finding, the pro-active role of the international organizations studied here in the messy, complex, and cross-national internet governance ecosystem, shaped by and, at the same time, shaping the technical infrastructure.

IFIP International Federation for Information Processing

What has IFIP contributed to the field of information systems and organizations through the activities of Working Group 8.2, its central working group in information systems? What has WG 8.2 delivered to its constituents? What have the results and impacts of the WG 8.2 been on the larger community? This panel will not shy away from controversy as it discusses the history, contributions, and unrealized potential of research spawned by this working group over the past 30 years.
