"2007 Midwest Grid Workshop"

DATE: March 24, 2007 to March 25, 2007
TIME: 9:00am to 6:00pm
LOCATION: East Student Center, University of Illinois at Chicago

Description:
We wish to bring to your attention an exciting two-day weekend workshop in large-scale and high-performance grid computing.

This intensive workshop introduces the techniques of grid and distributed computing for science and engineering fields, with hands-on training in the use of national grid computing resources. The workshop introduces essential skills that will be needed by researchers in the natural and applied sciences, engineering, and computer science to conduct and support large-scale computation and data analysis in emerging grid and distributed computing environments.

Workshop participants will work with some of the world's leading experts in grid computing. The workshop will focus on enabling the use of the national cyberinfrastructure � Open Science Grid and TeraGrid � to perform large-scale computations and data-intensive processing in the your field of research. Participants will learn to use grids of thousands of processors and will be able to continue to use these resources for their research after the workshop.

More Information:
Applicants should have at least intermediate programming skills (one to two semesters experience in C/C++, Java, Perl, and/or Python) and hands-on experience with UNIX / Linux in a networked environment.

The deadline for application is March 2, 2006. Applicants will be notified of
acceptance by March 9, 2006.
