As a result, information became increasingly difficult to find, access, and manage. Using Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007 as a development platform, AW Systems worked with Habitat to rebuild PartnerNet into an organized collection of global and regional program and department websites, tailored to Habitat's current and expanding needs.

Design of Agent-Based Middleware for Extranet Management | 2007-06-01 | Tohoku University |
| This paper proposes a novel, agent-based middleware for efficient management of an extranet. To keep an extranet in full working order, its network connections (e.g., routing, bandwidth assigning, etc.) have to be customized for the specific network services in a particular group. However, such customization work imposes a heavy workload on the extranet administrator, and this makes it very difficult to achieve efficient management of the extranet. To overcome this difficulty, they propose an agent-based middleware between the application layer and the transport layer of the extranet. This middleware controls network connections based on known specifications of the extranet, and thus it provides well-customized network connections for users and extranet applications.
