Introduction to gLite & RESPECT tools at EGEE'09 conference

This training event will interest those who are seeking to develop applications and managing jobs and advanced workloads on EGEE. The event is held prior to the EGEE '09 Conference.

Topics and details of presentations will be finalised later, however, the focus of the course is primarily expected to be a brief introduction to gLite job management followed by tutorials on tools from the EGEE RESPECT program. The RESPECT program (Recommended External Software for EGEE CommuniTies) aims to publicize grid software and services that work well in concert with the EGEE gLite software and thereby :

- Expand the functionality of the grid infrastructure for users,

- Reduce duplicated development when porting applications, and

- Speed the porting of new application to the grid.

The course will provide a brief introduction session on the capabilities of the gLite middleware for those who are not familiar with this software, followed by sessions highlighting the folowing RESPECT tools:

- P-GRADE Portal to develop and manage fault tolerant workflows and parameter studies

- GridWay metascheduler to broker resources and manage jobs

- g-Eclipse framework that allows users and developers to access Computing Grids and Cloud Computing resources in a unified way

Members of the EGEE Application Porting Support Group will also attend the event and will provide technical consultancy for those who wish to port applications to the EGEE Grid.

Speakers

Speakers are from European research institutes that are members of the User Training and Induction and Application Identification and Support activities of the EGEE project.
