UC Davis, like many other institutions, is faced with a number of critical technology infrastructure and middleware issues. To facilitate the investigation of several of these issues and recommend a course of action for them, Dr. John Bruno, Vice Provost for Information and Educational Technology (IET) has initiated a number of Advanced Technology Project Teams. The first of these projects was initiated in Fall 2000.

Advanced Technology Project (ATP) teams are defined as small groups charged with investigating within a defined timeframe a major technological issue with possible campuswide applications. The ATP teams typically include members of Information and Educational Technology (IET) as well as representatives from the Technology Infrastructure Forum (TIF) and campus departments or organizations.

The work of the ATP teams results in a report to Dr. Bruno summarizing the group's findings and recommendations for the possible implementation of the technology they were charged to investigate. The reports are posted on this ATP site. Whenever applicable, an implementation workgroup is formed following the completion of an advanced technology project (as was the case, for example, with the Windows 2000 Active Directory and the Enterprise Directory projects).

Questions or comments about this site or any of the ATPs can be directed to vpiet-info@ucdavis.
