Welcome and Presentation Course Grid & E-Science 2010 Álvaro Fernández Casaní IFIC computing & GRID researcher

History of the course This is the 7th edition of the course 2009: IFCA (Santander) 2008: IFIC (Valencia) 2006-2007: IFCA 2005 :IFIC 2004: IFCA Official post-graduate course of CSIC: http://www.csic.es/web/guest/cursos-de-postgrado Organized by the Group of “E-Science and Grid Computing for physics at IFIC” 4 staff members and 8 contracted people We have been working since `2001 with distributed and grid-computing technologies DataGrid, Crossgrid, EGEE I, II and III. Currently within European Grid Initiative (EGI) To support the Computing of HEP communitities, ATLAS specially. Currently to a wider e-Science Community:

Objectives of the course http://ific.uv.es/grid/curso2010/ The course is aimed at students and researchers who want to run applications in the GRID-CSIC, and within international initiatives EGI (European Grid Initiative), and national e-Science. You will learn basic skills to use the grid, tools and known advanced applications. Will be discussed in detail the various components, user-level middleware, and sample applications, and use of grid infrastructure at international level and in production environments. Practice in a real environment can also show the tools available, frequent errors and possible solutions.

Ask me for a slot Or you can just raise questions that have not been clear in the talks or practice sessions. Also things that would like to see in the future or that could be improved We will finish the afternoon with a visit to the IFIC Computing Centre.

We Invite you to a Dinner on Thursday night at the Valencia Beach: Thursday Dinner We Invite you to a Dinner on Thursday night at the Valencia Beach: Restaurant “La Pepica” Avenida de Neptuno, 6 46011 Valencia Cómo llegar And later on great places where going around and having some fun
