The Data Intensive Cyber Environments (DICE) group and CC-IN2P3, the Computing Center of the National Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (Centre de Calcul de l'Institut National de Physique Nucléaire et de Physique des Particules) in France, have announced a workshop on iRODS, the Integrated Rule-Oriented Data System.
The four-day workshop will be held February 2-5, 2009 at CC-IN2P3 in Lyons, France. Registration is free of charge and open http://indico.in2p3.fr/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=1234
through the January 10, 2009 deadline. This is a pre-registration form, and due to limited space accepted registrations will be confirmed by e-mail. Early registration is suggested.
Chaired by researcher Jean-Yves Nief of CC-IN2P3 and Reagan Moore, DICE group director, the upcoming workshop will bring together researchers new to iRODS who want to learn more about iRODS and data grid technology, as well as others already using iRODS in a range different communities.
The workshop will open with presentations from users on applications of iRODS technology. Those interested in presenting should contact Jean-Yves Nief [nief-at-cc.in2p3.fr]. For examples of how people are applying the versatile iRODS technology see the DICE website [http://diceresearch.org/DICE_Site/Examples/Examples.html ].
The workshop will also include a tutorial on an Introduction to the iRODS Data Grid System, and a tutorial on Rules and Micro-services. These two key features of iRODS let users translate their high-level management policies into powerful Rules that automate data management operations. The rules control the execution of the lower-level Microservices at the distributed servers where data are stored.
On the fourth day there will be parallel sessions to help communities with common interests explore and build collaborations to apply and develop iRODS for their specific needs. Planned community sessions tentatively include Astrophysics, Medical Records, Arts and Humanities, and Preservation Environments. Received on 2008-10-29Z16:14:20
