Special Features:
GRID SCHOOL TO BE HELD IN ITALY
IN JULY
GGF is pleased to announce its sponsorship of the 2003 International School
on
Grid Computing. The school -- to be held in Vico Equense, Italy (near Naples)
July 13 - 25, 2003 -- will provide an in-depth introduction to Grid
technologies and applications. A Web page for the school has been set up with
information on how to apply, logistics, cost, etc. Please see
www.dma.unina.it/~murli/SummerSchool/ for more details.
The site includes a Web-based form to apply for participation in the
school.
Applications must be submitted by May 11, 2003.
The school's curriculum is being finalized. It will provide an in-depth
introduction to Grid technologies, covering widely deployed grid middleware
(Globus, Condor, Unicore), as well as grid services and data services. There
will also be focused lectures on specialized topics such as applications and
experiences with bringing up production grids. Hands-on laboratory exercises
will give participants practical experience with widely used Grid middleware
software for basic Grid activities. To support the laboratory sessions, a
testbed will be established that will host widely used middleware produced by
projects in the US, the EU, and in Asia Pacific (AP). The testbed will be
connected to major international science grids and thus provide a rich
environment for hands-on learning and experimentation.
By the end of the school, students will be
- familiar with the fundamental components of Grid environments, such as
authentication, authorization, resource access, and resource discovery
- able to use grid environments for basic and advanced job submission
- and conversant in Grid efforts worldwide and key emerging Grid
applications.
The final program will be posted on the school's Web page. Questions
regarding the school should be addressed to grid-school@ggf.org. Please check the
Web page periodically, as it will be kept up to date.
