This year the main theme is communication, and building bridges between science and business, users and infrastructures, countries, scientific disciplines and projects. EGEE'07 provides a platform to discuss connections with different community users and related projects which is reflected in the rich Related Projects track.

gLite Training Event in conjunction with EGEE'07 Conference

A gLite Training Event will be organised in conjunction with the EGEE'07 Conference on 29 & 30 September 2007 in Budapest.

This event will interest those who are seeking to develop applications and managing jobs and advanced workloads on EGEE.

The focus is primarily on different techniques for creating, submitting and orchestrating workloads on EGEE:

•   Scripting to interact with gLite and higher level services
•   GANGA tool to manage jobs
•   P-GRADE Portal to develop and manager workflows and parameter studies
•   GridWay metascheduler to broker resources and manage jobs

The course will provide brief introduction session on the security and job management capabilities of the gLite middleware for those who are not familiar with the EGEE grid. More advanced job management examples and higher level tools will demonstrate advanced EGEE workloads. Participants should be familiar with editing UNIX commands and text files. Members of the EGEE Application Porting Support Group will also attend the event and will provide technical consultancy for those who wish to port applications to the EGEE Grid.
