I've attended a couple of the NCSI workshops, and others for which Bob
Panoff has grants, the past three summers. This looks like a good
opportunity for students.

Subject: Invitation for Student Participation in Grid computing
Call for Student Participation - 2006 Summer Grid Workshop
June 26-30, 2006
South Padre Island, Texas.
Dear Colleagues,
We wish to bring to your attention an exciting one-week summer workshop
on Grid computing and its application in scientific data analysis for
graduate and advanced undergraduate students.
This 3rd annual event, first held in 2004, is jointly sponsored by
the Center for Gravitational Wave Astronomy (CGWA), a NASA University
Research Center at the University of Texas at Brownsville,
the International Virtual Data Grid Laboratory, the Grid Physics
Network and the Open Science Grid.
The aim of this intensive school workshop is to provide a basic
foundation in distributed computing, and valuable hands-on training in
distributed computing techniques. The workshop introduces essential
skills that will be needed by students in the natural and applied
sciences, engineering, and computer science to conduct and support
large-scale scientific analysis in the emerging Grid computing
environment.
Undergraduate or graduate students in Computer Science, Physics, Math
and other sciences may apply. Applicants should have at least
intermediate programming skills (one to two semesters of hands-on
experience in C/C++, Java, Perl, and/or Python) and hands-on experience
with UNIX or Linux in a networked environment.
Workshop participants will work with some of the world's leading experts
in Grid computing, through a blend of lectures, discussions, and
hands-on computing exercises on large-scale Grid hardware and software
resources.
The curriculum will cover:
* Overview of distributed computing concepts and tools
* Concepts, tools, and techniques of Grid computing
* Discovering and using Grid resources
* Grid work scheduling and distributed data management
* Web-service and Grid-service concepts
* Tracking, managing and sharing data and applications
* Techniques for workflow and collaboration
Full or partial scholarships (including travel, accommodation, and per
diem) are available for students, subject to evaluation of their
application. Students from Minority Serving Institutions are strongly
encouraged to apply.
The school will take place at the University of Texas facility on South
Padre Island (off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico) from June 26 to 30,
2006.
The deadline of application is April 23, 2006. Selected candidates will
be informed by April 30, 2006.

(Phone: 956 882 6765, Fax : 956 882 6722).
Thank you!
