[DAIS-WG] International Summer School on Grid Computing - Applications Open

[Amy Krause]

The sixth in the highly successful series of International Summer Schools 
on Grid Computing will be held at the Hotel Füred Conference and Congress 
Centre of Balatonfüred, Hungary, from 6th to 18th July 2008.

The School will include lectures, discussions, laboratory sessions, 
tutorials and group work delivered by leading authorities in the fields of 
advanced grid technology, applications of e-Science and distributed 
systems research. Reports from world leaders in deploying and exploiting 
Grids will complement lectures from research leaders shaping future 
e-Infrastructure.

Hands-on laboratory exercises will give students experience with widely 
used Grid middleware. The school will conclude with an integrating 
practical that will enable students, working in teams, to bring together 
all they have learnt on an extended exercise that simulates collaborative 
research using e-Infrastructures. Indeed during the school, participants 
will meet like-minded students from many parts of the world, working in 
many disciplines, and form valuable long-term working relationships.

We invite applications from enthusiastic and ambitious researchers who 
have recently started or are about to start working on Grid projects. 
Students may come from any country. We expect participants from computer 
science, computational science and any application discipline. The School 
will assume that students have diverse backgrounds and build on that 
diversity. However, in order to fully participate in the practical 
exercises you should be a confident programmer who will have fulfilled 
certain prerequisites.
