Cyberinfrastructure Seminar Series: "GridShib: An Attribute-Based Authorization Framework"
11:00am-12:30pm PDT
December 6, 2005
Access Grid, SDSC Auditorium, Webcast
The Globus Toolkit is the leading toolkit for the deployment of grids. Shibboleth is a project from the Internet2 community that allows for cross-organizational sharing of web resources. GridShib builds on these existing technologies to allow for interoperability between them so that virtual organizations built on Globus Toolkit can leverage Shibboleth. This talk provides overviews of the Globus Toolkit, Shibboleth, and GridShib, as well as future challenges. The talk will be technical, but will not presume an understanding of security. The Cyberinfrastructure Seminar Series is a set of presentations on cyberinfrastructure and related research organized by NCSA and SDSC. These seminars are available on site at the presenting institution and remotely via the Access Grid and webcast via CI Channel. For more details regarding the AG venue for this seminar, please refer to the AG scheduler. All Access Grid sites are welcome to participate in this seminar. If you have any questions, contact Jennie File, NCSA Training and Outreach Group.

SC05 Tutorial: The Globus Toolkit in e-Science: Examples and Lessons
November 13, 2005
Seattle, WA
This half-day tutorial provides three case studies from successful e-Science projects and highlights the lessons learned from those experiences. Three challenging IT problems will be presented in the context of specific science projects. The tutorial will explore the science requirements, the technical approach taken in each solution, and the results. Reusable Grid technologies from the Globus Toolkit such as GridFTP, MyProxy, and GRAM will be introduced. Along the way, we will highlight the general lessons that these experiences provided and the implications for new e-Science projects.

GGF-15 Community Event: Building a Java Service Using The Globus Toolkit v4
October 6, 2005
Boston, MA
This half-day tutorial is designed to teach developers how to build a Java Service using the Globus Toolkit (GT4). This course is a compressed version of our standard, full-day, hands-on tutorial. Attendees are invited to follow along with the exercises on the laptops, though tech support will be very limited due to the amount of material to be covered.

Globus Toolkit Version 4: Status and Experiences - A Workshop at GGF-14
June 27, 2005
Chicago, IL
This workshop at GGF-14 will include an introduction to the Globus Toolkit, version 4.0, by members of the Globus Toolkit development community. It will also include descriptions of early experiences with GT4 in Grid application deployment projects, presented by members of the Globus Toolkit user community.

2005 GRIDS Center Community Workshop
June 23-24, 2005
Chicago, IL
This workshop brings together leaders and technical staff from leading Cyberinfrastructure development and deployment projects to encourage cross-discipline interactions involving Grid middleware. Many groups have overlapping or very similar middleware needs, and the GRIDS leadership wants to help identify these targets of opportunity that will maximize benefits to the greater scientific community through coordinated effort and reduced duplication.

Globus Toolkit 4 Tutorial
June 16-17
Champaign-Urbana, IL
A two-day tutorial on Globus Toolkit v. 4 will be held June 16-17 at the Beckman Institute on the University of Illinois campus. The tutorial is co-sponsored by NCSA, Argonne National Laboratory, and the GRIDS Center. The tutorial will include an overview of GT4, GT4 security, and how to build a Java service using GT4. A full agenda and other details are available online. The tutorial is free; to register, email Mike Freemon at mfreemon@ncsa.uiuc.edu. [Directions to Beckman Institute and hotel information]

2 Day Programming Tutorial with WSRF and the Globus Toolkit Version 4
May 3-4, 2005
San Diego, CA
These two days of tutorials provide an in-depth introduction to programming with the latest version of the Globus Toolkit (GT4). The course is geared toward developers who want to learn about the newest work of the Globus Alliance and how to apply fundamental concepts in Grid computing. The first day teaches developers how to build a Java Service that makes use of GT4 mechanisms for state management, security, registry, and related topics. The second day is less hands on and more presentation-oriented. It provides a comprehensive introduction to GT4, covering execution management services, data movement and management services, and security services, and also reviewing some of the higher-level tools that build on Globus mechanisms. A brief introduction to administering a GT4-based Grid is also provided. To register, send email to gt4tutorial@novgp.com. Prep materials for the developer tutorial are available.
