This ‘hands-on’ course is aimed at those who are interest ed in exploring the potential of grid computing to enhance their life scie nces or health research. \n\n\nWith an emphasis on application to the Bio /Health domain\, this course has been designed to:\nReveal and explain the architecture of Grids. Grids provide infrastructure for collaboration\, b y permitting resources such as computers\, data\, software to be orchestra ted across and between research communities that span different organisati ons. \nExplore the potential for established grids and e-science technolog ies to enhance research.\nCommunicate an understanding of how to exploit G rids\n\nThe course focuses on technologies and infrastructures that are in production use at different scales (project\, national\, international)\, and then explores progress towards what has sometimes been called “The Grid.”\n\nAudience and pre-requisites\nThe course is primarily intended for informaticians\, members of research projects who are responsible for creating and deploying software applications for the bio/health domains. Although prior experience of command-line or file editing using Linux will be useful in a minority of the practicals\, this is not an essential pre- requisite.\n\n\nTeaching outcomes\nIn this course attendees will:\n Learn and understand the concepts and architecture of Grids including the UK’s National Grid Service (NGS) and the EU’s EGEE infrastructures.\n Learn how e-Science technologies have been applied in the Bio/Health domain\n Ga in hands on experience using a variety of software\, including for:\n Work flow (with Taverna and also P-GRADE)\n Computation on Grids \nData managem ent on Grids\n\n Gain insight into the challenges of using the technologie s\n\nBy the end of the course attendees should be able to communicate effe ctively about e-Science technologies\, and also have gained sufficient kno wledge and hands-on experience to begin working with them\n\nLocation: Roo m IT407.\nSchool of Computer Science\, Kilburn Building\, Oxford Road\nA c ampus map can be found here.

No date for these events is fixed yet. To see details of scheduled events\, go to http://training.omii-europe.org/.\n\n\nOMII- Europe is creating standards-based middleware components that will permit e-scientists to access resources runnning on grids that are based on any o f the gLite\, UNICORE\, Globus or CROWN middleware. This course explains the concepts behind the OMII-Europe project\, and gives experience of usin g the components. \n\n\nThis one-day course will interest application deve lopers who need grid interoperabillity - for example\, to run high-perfor mance applications on UNICORE/DEISA and trivially parallelisable applicati ons on gLite/EGEE\; to access data resources across grids via OGSA-DAI. I t will also interest creators of higher middleware services - for example\ , brokers.\n\n It is assumed that participants will be familiar with the c oncepts of grid computing. An extended course can be arranged if this is not the case. \n\nThe goals of the course are to permit developers to begi n to plan for use of the interoperable components provided by OMII-Europe\ , and to accomplish this by giving participants:\n an understanding of int eroperability \n initial experience of OMII-Europe components based on gr id standards\n an orientation to be able to further explore these compone nts by use of the OMII-Europe Evaluation Infrastructure \n an introductio n to the OMII-Europe repository from which the components can be downloade d.\n\n\nto be determined:\ndate. location\n\n\n This draft agenda will be tailored for different events\, and will also be revised in the light of d ates of events and the release schedule fo components \n\nhttp://indico.ce rn.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=23662 LOCATION:to be determined URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=23662 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Draft OMII-Europe training for D-Grid DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20080311T114500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20080312T140000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130524T122528Z UID:indico-event-24057@cern.ch DESCRIPTION: This page is no longer in use.
