XSIM Mission

• We now have 15 years of applied experimentation in VO IdM.

• A number of approaches have been tried, both in terms of technology (VOMS, Glide-ins, Science gateways, etc.) and trust models.

• XSIM’s mission is to develop a model that expresses the different collaboratory identity architectures and and provides guidance to a collaboratory in the selection.
