South-Caucasus Grid & Cloud Computing Workshop

20 Oct 2014, 14:00 → 24 Oct 2014, 18:00 Etc/GMT+4

Georgian Technical University, Tbilisi (Georgia)

Alexander Sharmazanashvili (Computer Aided Design Center (GE)), Dario Barberis (Università e INFN Genova (IT))

This event follows on from the workshops held in October 2010 and 2012 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 and Cloud computing technologies. The workshop will take place in the rich and pleasant cultural environment of Tbilisi. 

Topics:  

 Distributing Computing and Cloud Computing for scientific applications: 

• Scientific Clouds 

• Global Networking Architecture 

• Cloud Middleware 

• Algorithms for Cloud Computing 

• Cloud Projects in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia 

 ATLAS and CERN Technologies and Applications: 

• WLCG Grid past, present and future 

• Big Data: challenges and perspectives 

• Data Monitoring 

• Collaborative projects 

• CERN Accelerator Technologies
