GridForce

This site contains information about Dr. Bina Ramamurthy's NSF Supported Grid Research and Courses.

Two courses support the GridForce project. CSE486/586 Distributed Systems and CSE487/587 Information Structures. The core curriculum of the courses does not change from the previous offerings. Adapting the grid technology is realized through a set of labs. This adaptation is supported by the NSF grant. The part of the grant relevant to the courses and the grid technology is available in the link provided below.

Grant proposal for CSE486/487.
