Grid Programming with Components

An Advanced Component Platform for an Effective Invisible Grid

Information Technologies require standards for interoperability; they are a true catalyst for scientific and business development. GridCOMP project will define and implement a Grid Component Model (GCM) for the IT sector. Standard grid components will make it possible to seamlessly compose applications and services deployed on large scale infrastructures, e.g. several thousand machines all over the world.

GridCOMP main goal is the design and implementation of a component based framework suitable to support the development of efficient grid applications. The framework will implement the "invisible grid" concept: abstract away grid related implementation details (hardware, OS, authorization and security, load, failure, etc.) that usually require high programming efforts to be dealt with.

GridCOMP Workshop and Tutorial - 30 Oct - 1 Nov 2007 - Beijing, China
BeijingThe GridCOMP meetings took place in Beijing from 30 October to 1 November 2007. The internal meeting and workshop were hosted by the Computer Network Information Center, while the GridCOMP tutorial was held at Tsinghua University. This event was organised in cooperation with two EC funded projects, EchoGRID and Bridge, and was in conjunction with the Fourth Grid Plugtests jointly organised by ETSI , INRIA and ERCIM.

On October 30, fifteen GridCOMP members participated to the internal meeting. The research progresses were presented by each partner. Agenda
On October 31: the ProActive/GCM workshop was held at CNIC. The GridCOMP partners discussed technical details of their research.  Agenda
On November 1st, the ProActive/GCM tutorial gathered 30 students from several Chinese universities. Agenda
