Course 1: Grid Middleware “Fundamentals of Grid Computing”
Date: 05-01-2005 Description: The objective of this lecture is to introduce some of the basic concepts of the Grid Technology. Among other topics addressed in this lecture are the types of resource targeted by the Grid technology, the different categories of the users of the Grid, and the problems and the concerns of each category of users. Keywords: Grid Technology, OGSA, WSRF Course material: Slides [PPT] References: V. Berstis, “Fundamentals of Grid Computing” IBM Redbooks paper
Course 2: A service Oriented Architecture & Web Service Technology
Date: 07-01-2005 Description: The objective of this lecture is to discuss the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), why it is becoming important, in which context it can be used, and what are the main components composing its architecture. The lecture presents the Web service as a case study of the SOA. Keywords: SOA, OGSA, WSRF, Course material: Slides [PPT] References: Paul A Moore “Characteristics of a Service Oriented Architecture”, www.iryx.com David S.

Course 3: WS-Resource Framework
Date: 12-01-2005 Description: The WS-Resource construct has been proposed as a means of expressing the relationship between stateful resources and Web services. In this lecture, we introduce here the WS-Resource framework, and discuss the set of proposed Web services specifications composing the WS-Resource approach. The specifications describe the means by which a view of the state of the resource is defined and associated with a Web services description, forming the overall type definition of a WS-Resource. Keywords: WSRF, WS-ResourceProperties, WSResourceLifetime, WS-RenewableReferences, WS-ServiceGroup, and WS-BaseFaults Course material: Slides [PPT] References: Karl Czajkowski et al. “The WS-Resource Framework” Ian Foster et al. “Modeling Stateful Resources with Web Services”
Course 4: The Grid Security System
Date: 14-01-2005 Description:.This course addresses the Security issues of the Grid Technology. For end-users, the primary requirement of the secure system is simplicity: Access to the virtual organization's resources should not be significantly different from access to the local organization's resources. There should be a single sign-on, where users need to log on only once to access all permitted resources. Programs running on a user's behalf should possess a subset of the user's rights and have access to the permitted resources. To support such a requirement the Grid security infrastructure must transparently interface. The course introduces the basic mechanisms on which the Grid security infrastructure is based. The course does not extensively explains standards security mechanisms such as the public security infrastruc Keywords: PKI, Grid Credential, Multiple-security domains Course material: Slides [PPT] References: Randy Butler et al.
