GRIDFoRCE
(GRID For Research Collaboration and Education)
Dr.Bina Ramamurthy's
NSF supported Grid courses.
This page is a point of dissemination for the grid computing-related research, collaboration & teaching.
This work is partially supported by the NSF CCLI A&I DUE-0311473.
Mission
To increase grid awareness so that we are ready to met the IT workforce needs when the grid technologies mature into commercial products similar to how
World Wide Web (www) evolved into Internet commerce.
Vision-Mission is achieved through education, collaboration and research in grid computing.Our first step is to adapt the grid computing to
undregraduate CSE curriculum. The next step is to dessimate the adaptation details (course plans, lab descriptions and implementation), project experience
and the assement methods to the educator and developer communities.
Courses
2004-2005
- CSE486/586
- This course addresses some of the fundamental challenges in the design, implementation and deployment of large scale distributed systems including connection establishment,
event handling, interprocess communication, storage management, static and dynamic component configuration, concurrency and synchronization. It also covers issues related to distributes objects such as mobility, security, naming and location.
- CSE487/587
- The objective of this is to give an overview of the use of information technology in large scale commercial and scientific systems, with course emphasis on the use of
state of the art computing in the realizing various services and the frameworks supporting these services.
