Educational goals of the International Winter School in Grid Computing 2009 are to:
Provide participants with the necessary theoretical background for practical exercises
Enable participants for using Condor, OGSA-DAI, Globus, UNICORE and gLite
Direct participants towards available GRID services
Encourage collaboration between participants.
:: Curriculum
IWSGC'09 consists of five technology slots. Each technology is allocated
a period of one week as its prime delivery period and a separate tutor.
Technology 1: Condor
Technology 2: UNICORE
Technology 3: Globus
Technology 4: OGSA-DAI
Technology 5: g-Lite
There will be no tutoring available during week 2-8 March (between weeks 2 and 3) due to the Open Grid Forum and EGEE User Forum. Students should use this time to catch up with previous weeks work, or for a short break. IWSGC'09 consists of 8 live online events and asynchronous work in between. In order to successfully complete the Winter School, participants are obliged to attend at least 4 live events in their full duration.
