e-Framework Update

Toward services-enabled infrastructure: The e-Framework in action

Wednesday 11th October

The e-Framework for Education and Research is an international initiative instigated by the UK's Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) and Australia's Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST).

The central aim is to facilitate technical interoperability within and across education and research through improved strategic planning and implementation processes.

The purpose of this one day update is to:

• Provide an overview of the e-Framework for Education and Research;
• Show the application of a service-oriented approach to the development of technical infrastructure;
• Provide an update on recent activities and priority areas for development;
• Stimulate Australian interest in contributing to its continued development; and
• Garner community input on Australian priorities for the e-Framework.

The update is aimed at anyone involved in the processes that result in deployment of services for higher education and research
