MAP, the MIT Application Platform is a set of services provided by MIT IS&T. The primary team members are from ISDA (Infrastructure Software Development and Architecture). MAP is part of IS&T's goal of better supporting of, and engaging with, the larger MIT developer community.
The current priorities of MAP are:
- Mechanics: Continued support and improvement of server and core web-application environments
- Identity: Services for sign-on, authentication, authorization; application identities for service integration
- Client Integration: Environment for community-built applications with a migration path to services integration such as "Web 2.0," "mashups," and "portals"
- IDE: Standard workstation environment for developers with MIT security, standard tools and packages, standard localhost server environments, etc
- Reference: Reference implementations for Identity, Client Integration, and Service Integration tracks with documentation and community support; standardized J2EE "stack"
- Service Integration: Development of SOA-style services around content and collaboration for use in community-built applications.
