This first half of this 2 day event will cover the basic concepts underlying SAGA, provide an in-depth review of the API and its design. The second half will provide hands-on training and an opportunity to understand how SAGA can be help your application development and requirements.

The Simple API for Grid Applications (SAGA) provides a simple, uniform, integrated interface for performing distributed functionality. SAGA has been used to develop distributed applications and tools that support distributed applications. Application Scientists, Tool Developers and Resource Providers will find this event of use. On Day One of this tutorial & training event, we will provide an overview of the landscape of distributed applications, followed by a detailed introduction to SAGA and some basic exercises aimed at becoming familiar with the API and deploying SAGA. Day Two of the event will involve further examples and simple programming excercises.

Participants are advised and requested to bring along their application or tooling needs, as the final half of the second day will be devoted to discussions of how SAGA can help your requirements.

Target Audience

This meeting is intended for NGS, DEISA & EGEE Users, Application and Tool Kit developers. .
