CHEF 1.0
• Fall 2001: CHEF Development begins – Generalized extensible framework for building collaboratories
– “Best-of” CourseTools, SPARC, WorkTools
• Integrate across current UM projects and adopt relevant standards
• Funded internally at UM as replacement for CourseTools• All JAVA - Open Source
– Jakarta Jetspeed Portal
– Jakarta Tomcat Servlet Container
– Jakarta Turbine Service Container
• Build community of developers through workshops and outreach
![Page 9: From Your Course Syllabus to Earthquake Engineering: Collaboration using the CHEF Framework](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681521a550346895dc05c5a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CHEF Technology
• Provide a mechanism for software development which will allow organizations to share and re-use each other’s work
• Utilize existing technologies wherever possible and add value rather than invent all new
• Enable code reuse across multiple organizations• Lead to portal technology - Jetspeed
![Page 10: From Your Course Syllabus to Earthquake Engineering: Collaboration using the CHEF Framework](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681521a550346895dc05c5a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Not “just” a portal
• Portals are a framework to deploy tools (aka rectangles) and focus on how the user wants to arrange their own “rectangles”
• While CHEF technically is a portal, the goal is for the tools to work together closely and seem to really be parts of a larger “tool”
• CHEF has a lot of features, (services, presence, notification, etc..) which bridge the gap between portal and application framework
![Page 11: From Your Course Syllabus to Earthquake Engineering: Collaboration using the CHEF Framework](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681521a550346895dc05c5a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Servlet
In addition to Jetspeed, CHEF operates within a Servlet container called Jakarta Tomcat. Whereas portlets operate in one “recatangle” which is a subset of the screen, Servlets control the entire HTTP response or even talk non-HTTP protocols.

Services
• Long-term lifecycle• One instance (Singleton)
– Must be aware that multiple users can use service– Can use memory resident information (often used for
cache)• Contains as much of the implementation as
possible• Pluggable implementations
– Memory version– XML implementation– Web services implementation– Database implementation

The API is an Interface – There can be any number of different service implementations which implement the Interface. At run-time Turbine reads a configuration file and associates the appropriate service implementation with each API and provides lifecycle services to the service.

• Other derived variants of CHEF– NMI 1.0 Beta from www.ogce.org– NEESGrid 2.1 from www.neesgrid.org
![Page 25: From Your Course Syllabus to Earthquake Engineering: Collaboration using the CHEF Framework](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681521a550346895dc05c5a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What is Next: SAKAI• U Michigan, Indiana U, MIT, Stanford, uPortal
– All have built portals / course management systems– JSR-168 portlet standard requires us all to re-tool and look at new approach to
portals
• Course Management System Standards– Open Knowledge Iniative (OKI) needed full implementation– IMS standard such as Question and Testing Interoperability (QTI)
• Why not coordinate this work , do the work once, and share each others solutions?
• Integrate across projects at multiple institutions and adopt relevant standards• Collaboration at the next frontier - implementation• Tool Portability Profile (TPP)
– Truly portable tools and services– Tools built at different places look and feel the same and share data and services– This is difficult - Interoperbility is harder than portability
• Mellon Foundation funding
![Page 26: From Your Course Syllabus to Earthquake Engineering: Collaboration using the CHEF Framework](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681521a550346895dc05c5a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Open/Open Licensing
• “..all work products under the scope of the Sakai initiative for which a member is counting matching contribution and any Mellon Sakai funding” will be open source software and documentation licensed for both education and commercial use without licensing fees.

Portability Profile (as of today)
• Tools– JSF GUI Layer– JSR 168 Portlet– JSR Servlet Standard
• Services– Level 1-3 Inversion of Control– Avalon, Turbine, OKI, Spring, Pico
• J2EE / EJB / JBoss - Enterprise Services– Stateless Session– Entity beans for clustering and scaling
• This is in progress - so it may change
