Induction to Grid Computing and the National Grid
Service (NGS)
e-Science Institute 29th September 2005
The recent run of the Induction to Grid Computing and the National
Grid Service (NGS) training event was attended by 12 people from a
wide range of backgrounds from Arts and Humanities to Bio-Medical
and Physics. As with all such events this range of backgrounds
provided for cross-disciplinary discussions at breaks and positively
contributed to the event. The event included talks and tutorials on
many aspects of grid computing from "What are Grids?" to "Job
Submission" and "Data Management". A consensus opinion was
expressed by the attendees that the event had prepared them for
future use of the NGS.
