1 Teaching and Learning with Open Science Grid quarknet.fnal.gov/e-labs/

2 Outline of Talk Introduction to QuarkNet/Grid Overview of the e-Lab Implementation Reusability Lessons Learned

3 QuarkNet The primary education program for US-ATLAS and US-CMS, large scale experiments Developing a research community of physicists, high school teachers & their students Engaging teachers & subsequently students in scientific investigations

4 Goals of QuarkNet/Grid Students participate in a scientific collaboration and make real contributions to a scientific field. Students use virtual data tools and techniques to upload, access, process and publish data, report their results as online poster, and have online discussions about their work with peers. Educational researchers evaluate the effectiveness of such an endeavor. Grid specialists explore interface designs that enhance accessibility to Grid data and computational resources.

13 Outline of Talk Introduction to QuarkNet/Grid Overview of the e-Lab Implementation Reusability Lessons Learned

14 Design Basics for e-Lab Requires the GriPhyN Virtual Data System (VDS) Serves JavaServer Pages from Apache Tomcat Interfaces to local and Grid planners, such as Euryale and Pegasus

15 Detailed Design Student viewpoint Grid Middleware Grid Execution

16 Transformations & Derivations Transformations stitch together code into one workflow for local or grid execution. Derivations invoke transformations with specific inputs, like a function call. Transformation Derivation TR Quarknet.Cosmic::LifetimeStudy( inout combineOut, none detector, none extraFun_alpha_guess, none extraFun_alpha_variate, none extraFun_constant_guess, none extraFun_constant_variate) DV Quarknet.Cosmic::LifetimeStudy> anonymous( combineOutfile, 180, 2.3, 7, 1.73, 100.27)

17 Provenance Virtual Data Language Provenance TR Quarknet.Cosmic::LifetimeStudy( inout combineOut, none detector, none extraFun_alpha_guess, none extraFun_alpha_variate, none extraFun_constant_guess, none extraFun_constant_variate) Provenance is the audit trail for the computation of a data product. Students collaborate by extending others computations using provenance.

18 Metadata Data about data Exist on transformations, files and virtual files

20 Reusability = Rethinking Our Original Design QuarkNet/Grid started as a pilot program with primary focus on a working model. Now, we aim to support new e-Labs using the same tools, look and feel, general architecture, etc. CMS test beam data is a near-term goal.

23 We have users! 243 teachers 240 high schools 259 student research groups 10 4 analyses performed since May 2005 200 detectors in high schools (with CROP) 70 more detectors ready soon

24 Grid work is bleeding-edge and harder than it looks. Professional development for teachers is critical. Developers must work within technical constraints of schools. It’s premature to understand how the Grid enhances education. We have lessons!
