Topics to be covered include data modeling, Web Services, and geographic information systems. A brief introduction will also be provided to key concepts in grid computing, parallel programming, and scientific workflows. While the institute is open to everyone, graduate students and postdocs are especially encouraged to apply.
This workshop is made possible through funding provided by the National Science Foundation. Participants' local expenses (on-campus accommodations and meals) will be paid for, as well as all CSIG-related materials. Travel arrangements and expenses will be the responsibility of each participant.
