GLASgow university early adoption of Shibboleth (GLASS): was concerned with the exploration and uptake of Shibboleth technologies across the university of Glasgow, building upon a unified institutional account management system. A key focus of GLASS was exploring Shibboleth technologies in a Grid environment and numerous scenarios were explored showing how advanced authorisation infrastructures could be seamlessly linked in forming trusted federations including access to and usage of brain trauma data sets at Glasgow Southern General Hospital and a range of e-learning scenarios. A paper describing the outputs of GLASS is given here.

ESP-Grid was based on collaboration with the University of Oxford. The work focused on development of a demonstrator showing how Shibboleth could be used for access to and usage of Grid services. This included support for linkage of Shibboleth and services with advanced authorisation infrastructures to support single sign-on across multiple consortium clinical resources. A paper describing the outputs of ESP-Grid is given here.
