Description
The project EGEE (Enabling Grids for e-Science in Europe) is developing a service grid infrastructure to support international collaboration in science. Day 1 of this event will introduce researchers to Grid Computing and to the EGEE middleware. No prior Grid experience is required for day 1. Participants in Day 1 will gain: 1. Understanding of general Grid and e-Science concepts 2. Orientation to the EGEE infrastructure and middleware 3. Experience from use of an EGEE testbed, GILDA, via the GENIUS portal. The morning of Day 2 is designed to give participants an understanding of the goals, context and structure of the EGEE project, which is bulding with regional and national grid projects to operate a production Grid infrastructure to support international e-Science. The talks will continue the programme of Day 1, but they are also suitable for additional participants with an understanding of Grid concepts. The afternoon of Day 2 includes presentations from several regional and national grid projects. The agenda is chosen to be resonant with the planned Baltic Grid initiatives.
