Basing Grid infrastructures on the principles of Service Oriented Architectures has become an increasingly important topic during the last years: although a plethora of Grid middleware solutions have been proposed and many value-added systems have been successfully developed and deployed, key issues such as loose coupling, interoperation, and standardized protocols are yet to be addressed.
One of the major key objectives of the CoreGRID Network of Excellence project is education and training with the aim to provide a good background in several disciplines in order to enable researchers to conduct their activity in the broad range topic of Grid Computing. Please encourage your students, colleagues, existing and especially new members of the CoreGRID project to register and attend the school.
The CoreGRID Summer School 2008 provides a platform for young researchers to discuss these issues and gives the perfect opportunity to network with colleagues from all over Europe in order to develop solutions to these mission-critical problems while at the same time talk to leaders from the industry. Within the larger topic of "Linking Grids and Service Oriented Architectures" internationally recognized experts in research and development will give lectures and tutorials on the following areas:
* State of the Art in Research and Development
* Key Issues in Design, Implementation and Usage of Grid and SOAs
* Assessment and Evaluation of Grids and SOAs
* Security and Management for Resources, Services, and Applications
* Grid and SOA Frameworks, Developer Tools and Frontends
* Industry Impact and Standardization
* Community Approaches to Common Problems
The Robotics Research Institute at Dortmund University of Technology is pleased to host the CoreGRID Summer School 2008. The event will take place from July 7, 2008 to July 11, 2008 and offers a high-quality program accompanied by great social events in the light of the vivid culture of the Ruhr Industrial Heritage Area.
