Purpose of the JA-SIG

- to develop a global academic community of interest among practitioners and institutions and to inform that community of international activities, projects, and opportunities in the field of open technology architectures and systems in higher education
- to educate by coaching, collaborating, and sharing good practices, and disseminating the results of innovative approaches in this field
- to create, through its various activities including conferences, projects, and outreach, an atmosphere of trust, goodwill, and mutual respect amongst all participants
Activities
The JA-SIG membership is engaged in three activities. The first is the sponsorship of a twice-annual conference. The conference, having two technical and one management track, is held in the east during the winter and in the west during the summer. The second activity, the JA-SIG Clearinghouse, is a place on the Web to facilitate the sharing of Java components. The third JA-SIG activity is the development of a free, open source, open standard portal for higher education: uPortal.
