The Second International Summer School on Trends in Concurrency - TiC 2008Concurrency is a pervasive and essential characteristic of modern computer systems. Whether it is the design of new hyper-threading techniques in computer architectures, specification of non-blocking data structures and algorithms, implementation of scalable computer farms for handling massive data sets, or the design of a robust software architecture for distributed business processes, a deep understanding of mechanisms and foundations for expressing and controlling concurrency is required. Recent architectural advances in multi-core and many-core architectures have made this an essential topic for any serious student of computer science.
This summer school will bring together outstanding researchers from academia and industry to discuss current research and future trends in concurrent systems design and implementation. All instructors have had significant impact in the area of concurrency, and play an active role in substantial ongoing research and commercial efforts.
The speakers include the following researchers.
- Byron Cook, Microsoft Research - Neal Glew, intel Research - Jan-willem Maessen, Sun Laboratories. - Martin Odersky, EPFL. - Vivek Sarkar, Rice University. - Peter Sewell, Cambridge University

13th Estonian Winter School in Computer Science, EWSCS '08Background and objectives
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 '08 is the thirteenth 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.
Programme
The schools' scientific programme consists of short courses by renowned specialists and a student session.
The course list for EWSCS '08 is the following:
* Nick Benton (Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK): Modelling and Reasoning about State
* David Harel (Weizmann Institute, Rehovot, Israel): Biological Systems as Reactive Systems
* Eyal Kushilevitz (Technion, Haifa, Israel): Randomization Techniques for Secure Computation and Parallel Cryptography
* José Meseguer (Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA): Specification, Verification and Programming in Rewriting Logic
* Giuseppe Persiano (Università di Salerno, Italy): Zero Knowledge and the Construction of Secure Encryption Schemes
The purpose of the student session is to give students an opportunity to present their work (typically, thesis work) and get feedback. Registrants are invited to propose short talks (20 min) or posters. The selection will be based on abstracts of 150-400 words.
The social programme consists of an excursion and a conference dinner.
Venue
Palmse is a small settlement 80 kms to the east from Tallinn in the county of Lääne-Viru. It is renowned for a large manor that used to belong to the von Pahlen family, today hosting the visitors' center of the Lahemaa National Park, a museum, and a hotel.
Tallinn, Estonia's capital, is famous for its picturesque medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. There are direct flights to Tallinn from London, Dublin, Milan, Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Warsaw, Moscow, Kiev, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Helsinki, Vilnius, Riga, ferries from Stockholm and Helsinki. From Vilnius, Riga, St Petersburg the Eurolines coach services are the practical travel option.
Application and cost
The deadline for application and submission of abstracts is 18 January 2008. All applicants will be notified of acceptance to school and acceptance of their student talks/posters by 1 February 2008. The participation fee 5000 EEK / 320 EUR includes course materials, full board accommodation at Palmse, transportation from Tallinn to Palmse and back, excursion and conference dinner.

The Joint EGEE and SEE-GRID Summer School on Grid Application Support aims at introducing EGEE – SEE-GRID grid technologies to potential user communities and studying and practicing application development methods on EGEE grid networks. Existing EGEE and SEE-GRID users can advance their knowledge on core and third party tools available for EGEE application developers and users. Experienced lecturers from the EGEE and SEE-GRID projects deliver talks and hands on exercises on grid concepts, components, application development methods and tools. During dedicated sessions the attendees - with the help of our grid experts - can port their own applications onto EGEE and SEE-GRID infrastructures.
The summer school is open for anyone interested in the use of EGEE and SEE-GRID tools, technologies and infrastructures.
The primary focus of the school is on how end-users can apply the gLite middleware and related software services to define and operate large-scale distributed applications on top of inter-organizational Grids. The school provides a perfect occasion to learn the usage of grid systems without the irrelevant low-level technical details. Besides getting first-hand user experience the school will be an excellent forum to meet the representatives of grid user communities, grid infrastructure providers and grid tool developers.
The summer school will be conducted in English, no simultaneous translation will be available.

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
