> Grid computing has emerged as an important new field, distinguished
> from conventional distributed computing by its focus on large-scale
> resource sharing, innovative applications, and, in some cases, 
> high-
> performance orientation. The Globus Project is leading the
> definition
> of standard Grid protocols and APIs, in such areas as security,
> resource management, data management, and information discovery. 
> The
> open source Globus Toolkit, which provides a reference
> implementation
> of these Grid protocols and APIs, has been adopted my most of the
> major Grid projects world-wide, to provide a common, robust
> infrastructure for building applications that exploit distributed,
> heterogeneous, Grid-enabled resources.
>
> On January 28 - February 1, 2002, we will be presenting an in-depth
> tutorial on Grid computing and the Globus Toolkit. The first day is
> a standalone "Introduction to Grid Computing and the Globus
> Toolkit."
> Starting on day two we will split into two tracks -- one for
> developers (to conclude at noon on Friday), and one for systems
> administrators (to conclude at noon on Thursday). This tutorial 
> will
> be structured similar to the tutorial to be conducted in Edinburgh
> (see http://www.globus.org/about/events/Edinburgh2002/index.html),
> with the addition of various guest speaker presentations throughout
> the week.
>
> There will be ample time for questions, discussions, and breaks
> throughout these tutorials. However, due to the size of the 
> expected
> audience, we do not intend for these to be a "hands-on"
> tutorials.
> Nonetheless, we expect to have wireless network available so that
> people can follow along on their laptops as desired.
>
> Additional information, including registration details, will be
> placed
