ProActive and GCM Tutorial and Hands-On Grid Programming

Organizer:

Alexandre di Costanzo

Speakers:

Christian Delbé, Virginie Legrand, Matthieu Morel, Mario Leyton, Clement Mathieu

Tutors:

Ian Stokes-Rees, Wasseim Al Zouabi, Fabien Viale, Vladimir Bodnartchouk, Paul Naoumenko, Guillaume Chazarain, Jean-Michael Legait, Arnaud Contes, Viet Dung Doan

Objective:
Present the ProActive middleware through a morning tutorial, followed by an afternoon session of interactive testing (different tracks will be held at the same time). This will be performed through light conceptual slides presentations, and demonstrations. At the end of the day, participants should be able to develop, to deploy, and to test ProActive applications.

This Tutorial will also present in depth the ProActive implementation of the GCM (Grid Component Model), being defined as a standard for Grid component programming within the two EU projects: CoreGrid and GridCOMP.

The features to be covered include:

• Active Objects
• Group communications
• Components
• Deployment
• File Transfer
• ssh and Security
• Fault-Tolerance
• Peer-to-Peer
• Web Service
  
• IC2D GUI and Eclipse Plugins

Participants will have the freedom to chose the features and the applications most significant to them, potentially their application to be solved on the GRID. The number of tutors ensures that each participant will benefit from a personnal guidance. Full beginners as well as users with a first ProActive experience are welcome.

The tutorial attendees should bring a laptop for actually programming and deploying.
We will probably illustrate concepts with the following examples
