Dear all,
The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) would like to announce the
11th international summer school "GridKa School 2013: Big Data, Clouds
and Grids". It is one of the leading summer schools for advanced
computing techniques in Europe. The school provides a forum for
scientists and technology leaders, experts and novices to facilitate
knowledge sharing and information exchange. The target audience are
different groups like grid and cloud newbies, advanced users as well as
site administrators, graduate and PhD students in computing and science
disciplines.
GridKa School is hosted by Steinbuch Centre for Computing (SCC) of
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). It is organized by KIT and the
HGF Alliance "Physics at the Terascale". This year the 11th school will
be held in Karlsruhe, Germany from August 26 to 30, 2013.
The technical program of the school comprises plenary talks and hands on
tutorials on the following topics:
* Large scale data management
* Multi-core computing
* Cloud services and applications
* Cloud installation and administration
* Effective programming
* GPU computing
* Storage technologies
* Grid middleware administration
* Security and incident management
You could check the full agenda of the school following the link:
https://indico.scc.kit.edu/indico/conferenceTimeTable.py?confId=26#all.detailed
Half of the school consists of expert talks, which cover the fundamental
and theoretical aspects of the topics. While the other half consists of
hands-on sessions and workshops, which give the participants the
excellent chance to gain the practical experience of techniques and tools.
Security is a key aspect of any modern computer technology. The security
track will remain one of the main topics of the school also this year.
The team of security experts will present a broad program on security
starting with introductory talk on Monday, which will cover the most
common threats to computer security in the Grid and Cloud Computing
environment, followed by the 3-day workshop. During the workshop the
participants with help of a virtual environment simulating grid sites
will learn how to react on security incidents and perform a forensic
analysis after simulated security incidents in real time.
The program is completed by two social events ('tarte flambee' evening
at the German WLCG Tier-1 center GridKa and the school dinner in the
city center). Detailed information and registration form can be found at
http://gridka-school.scc.kit.edu. Please distribute this announcement
among your colleagues and friends.
Looking forward to welcoming you in Karlsruhe.
