Workshop 2 : Desktop Grid Computing and Applications

Desktop Grids can be volunteer Desktop Grids, collecting computer capacity from tens-of-thousands of PCs at home or local Desktop Grids consisting of otherwise unused machines inside a university or institute. International Desktop Grid Federation brings together various Desktop Grid technologies such as  BOINC, OurGrid, XtremWeb, Condor and IDGF communities such as SZTAKI Desktop Grid, and Rechenkraft.

Learning Objectives:

To provide practical knowledge and hands-on experience on:

1. Installing client and server for Desktop Grid
2. Running Desktop Grid Application

Speakers:

1. Dr Robert Lovas

2. Mr Muhammad Farhan Sjaugi

Main Speaker : Dr. Robert Lovas

Dr. Lovas was born in Hungary. He received his MSc degree in electrical engineering in 1998, and PhD degree in informatics at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in 2006. He is currently the Deputy Head of the Laboratory of Parallel and Distributed Systems (LPDS), Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

From 1997 he has been involved in several national (ChemistryGrid, HAGRID, WEB2GRID), intergovernmental bilateral, and European research projects in the Framework Programmes 4-7 (FP4: WINPAR; FP5: CAST; FP6: GridCoord, EGEE-I-II, CancerGrid, CoreGrid; FP7: Enabling_Desktop_Grids_for_e-Science (EDGeS), ETICS-II, EGEE-III). He has long-running experience in ICT collaborations with academic organizations, universities, and enterprises from various application areas of meteorology, biotechnology, computational chemistry, and telecommunication. He is a co-author or co-editor of more than 35 scientific papers and books on parallel software engineering and Grid computing particularly from design, debugging and application aspects. As lecturer and tutor, he gave more than 100 presentations and demonstrations on international scientific events, meetings, and exhibitions in Europe, the USA, and Asia.

He has received the following awards and scholarships:

• 2002 Award of Aspirants and PhD Students (1st place in the 3rd year), Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences
• 2002 Excellent Talk Award. The Third Conference of PhD Students in Computer Science, Hungary
• 2000 Research Scholarship (6 months): Department of Math & Computer Science, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA

He is the coordinator of the European DEGISCO project , a member of the Technical Committee of the Hungarian Grid Competence Center, and the Grid Application Support Center (MTA SZTAKI/GASuC). He was the deputy member of the Project Management Board of the European ETICS-2 consortium, and the Scientific Steering Committee of the CANCERGRID project; and the activity leader of the European EDGeS research infrastructure project.
