The sixth in the highly successful series of International Summer   
Schools on Grid Computing will be held at the Hotel Füred Conference  
and Congress Centre of Balatonfüred, Hungary, from 6th to 18th July  
2008.



The School will include lectures, discussions, laboratory sessions,  
tutorials and group work delivered by leading authorities in the  
fields of advanced grid technology, applications of e-Science and  
distributed systems research. Reports from world leaders in deploying  
and exploiting Grids will complement lectures from research leaders  
shaping future e-Infrastructure.



Hands-on laboratory exercises will give students experience with  
widely used Grid middleware. The school will conclude with an  
integrating practical that will enable students, working in teams, to  
bring together all they have learnt on an extended exercise that  
simulates collaborative research using e-Infrastructures. Indeed  
during the school, participants will meet like-minded students from  
many parts of the world, working in many disciplines, and form  
valuable long-term working relationships.


We invite applications from enthusiastic and ambitious researchers who  
have recently started or are about to start working on Grid projects.  
Students may come from any country. We expect participants from  
computer science, computational science and any application  
discipline. The School will assume that students have diverse  
backgrounds and build on that diversity. However, in order to fully  
participate in the practical exercises you should be a confident  
programmer who will have fulfilled certain prerequisites.
