Description
The purpose of this event is to teach the usage of the P-GRADE Portal on production Grids for current and future Grid application developers and Grid end users. On the first day lectures and hands-on excercies will introduce the P-GRADE Portal, while on the second day the speakers will help attendees port their own applications onto Grids by the Portal.

Short introduction to the P-GRADE Portal:
The P-GRADE Grid Portal enables the creation, execution and monitoring of data-driven computational workflows in distributed Grid environments by high-level intuitive graphical interfaces. Workflows developed within the P-GRADE Portal are portable among EGEE and Globus based Grids without learning grid-specific commands or tools. Using the GEMLCA specific version of the P-GRADE Portal Portal legacy applications can be turned into software services and shared with other portal users. The event will be a perfect forum to learn the concept and usage of the P-GRADE Portal on EGEE Grids.
