2nd ATLAS-SouthCaucasus Software/Computing Workshop & Tutorial

chaired by Dario Barberis (Università e INFN Genova (IT)), Alexander Sharmazanashvili (Computer Aided Design Center (GE))
from to (Etc/GMT+4)
at Georgian Technical University, Tbilisi (Georgia)
77, Kostava Str. 0175 Tbilisi Georgia
Description

 

This event follows on from the first workshop (SCSWT'2010) in October 2010 that brought together for the first time the ATLAS groups from the South Caucasus countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) to discuss common computing related issues. It aims at fostering contacts between ATLAS collaborators and computing people in these countries and experts in ATLAS software and Grid computing technologies. The workshop/tutorial will take place in the rich and pleasant cultural environment of Tbilisi. 


Objectives:  


•   Perspectives of Installation and development of local GRID clusters
•   Integration between low-level Grid middleware and higher-level ATLAS software packages for distributed computing 
•   Experience and evolution of end-users working models in South Caucasus Region 
•   Test of current status of Grid clusters in the South Caucasus region 
•  Tutorials + technical discussions
