Welcome to MAPS
MAPS (Middleware Action Plan and Strategy) is a project to develop a strategic roadmap for middleware activities that will support research and higher education in Australia. Middleware is a set of common software and services designed to connect people to a range of resources in distributed environments. These resources include major research facilities, information and communications technology infrastructure, data repositories, and other resources that support e-research, scholarly communication, and e-learning.
The MAPS project is funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research (DIISR). The funding has been provided through the Systemic Infrastructure Initiative (SII).
