Today introduces the National Grid Service, with an emphasis on practicals.
Many concepts will already have been introduced on day 1 of this event, and so today\'s focus is therefore strongly upon giving experience of using the NGS middleware.
The day will include:
- authorisation and authentication on the NGS (GSI, proxy certificates, MyProxy)
- computation services (Globus)
- data services (SRB and OGSA-DAI)
- case studies
This session is derived from the 2-day course, "Induction to Grid Computing and the National Grid Service". Material from the Induction course can be found at: http://www.nesc.ac.uk/action/esi/contribution.cfm?Title=633
