The International Collaboration to Extend and Advance Grid Education

20 - 31 August 2007, Dubrovnik, Croatia

CSC 2007, CERN School of Computing

The two-week programme of the CSC series comprises lecture series and hand-on exercises.

The hands-on part is a central component of the school, and is often structured in the form of projects to be carried out by groups of students. To this end, a complete computing infrastructure has to be created on the site of the school. As the themes usually focus on the most advanced topics, hands-on projects usually require modern software and hardware settings at the forefront of technology. One outcome of the school is therefore to leave at the end of the school, an advance technical environment, which may benefit the local university or institute. This is exemplified with the creation, in the local university or institute, of a GRID system, connected to the European DataGrid infrastructure.

An optional examination is organized at the end of the school and formal certificates of proficiency are delivered by CERN in case of success. This may be used by some students also engaged in university curricula for obtaining credits.

22nd - 27th July 2007

ISSPR’2007

The vision of the summer school is to empower its participants with the state-of-the-art techniques in pattern recognition and machine learning - to provide a deep understanding of how techniques work, their strengths and limitations, and the future of things to come in this field.

Biomed GRID School

The Biomed GRID School is aimed at biomedical research students, post-docs, and senior researchers with an interest in using or developing applications for distributed computing environments.

The GRID school will focus on:

1. New and future grid developments
2. New challenges brought by projects the students and staff are involved in

The aim of the school is to provide bioinformatics and biomedical developers the opportunity:

1. to learn to use new services and functionalities made available by new middleware releases (gLite).
2. to implement applications in the EGEE GRID environments.
3. to build high level interfaces for GRID and Web Services for data provision and management.
4. to improve skills in Web Services, Workflow technology and GRID services for Bioinformatics e Biomedical applications.
5. to learn how to generate complex workflows of Bioin formatics and System Biology analysis.

EWSCS '07

Science
EWSCS is a series of regional-scope international winter schools held annually in Estonia. EWSCS are organized by Institute of Cybernetics (IoC), a research institute of Tallinn University of Technology. EWSCS '07 is the twelfth event of the series. The main objective of EWSCS is to expose Estonian, Baltic, and Nordic graduate students in computer science (but also interested students from elsewhere) to frontline research topics usually not covered within the regular curricula. The subject of the schools is general computer science, with a bias towards theory, this comprising both algorithms, complexity and models of computation, and semantics, logic and programming theory. The working language of the schools is English.

Stockholm

Introduction to High-Performance Computing

The PDC Summer School in High-Performance Computing is an annual offering to researchers to improve on their skills in scientific computing. The course is held for its twelfth consecutive year at KTH, Stockholm, Sweden. During two intensive summer weeks at the KTH campus students will be able to learn and improve their skills in writing efficient programs for serial and parallel scientific applications. The course will carry four or five academic credits.

MET CS 894 Grid Computing

Prereq: MET CS 565 and CS 575. Grid computing realizes the concepts of distributed computing and data resources such as processing, network bandwidth and storage capacity by creating a single system image -- granting users and applications uniform and seamless access to vast IT capabilities. A grid user essentially sees a single, large virtual computer. The new Open Grid Services Architecture defines interfaces and protocols that make it easier to construct decentralized, dynamic, large-scale systems. In this course, we will explore and evaluate this technology by using it to develop a range of scalable distributed services. With grid computing, organizations can optimize computing and data resources, pool them for large capacity workloads, share them across networks and enable collaboration. Laboratory course. 4 cr. Tuition: $2520 USD
