Description
The purpose of this tutorial is to give a practical introduction to Grid Computing and the international EGEE grid. The tutorial gives experience of the current middleware during practicals using the GILDA training testbed, as provided by INFN/University of Catania and partners. This agenda may be subject to minor alteration. Day 1 introduces the EGEE project and its middleware. Day 2 has an application development focus - practicals are used to give experience of more advanced data and workload management. In the afternoon participants will be invited to run their own applications. These should be able to be compiled on LINUX, should NOT be interactive (i.e. they should read input files and write output files). The code and data for these should be held in a tar ball, accessible for example by wget. This requires preparation before the tutorial begins.
