Computer Science (31) This project involves collaboration between two institutions: SUNY at Buffalo, a research university, and SUNY College at Geneseo, a four-year school. A model for adaptation of grid technology into an undergraduate curriculum is implemented by this project and represents its intellectual merit. The target audience includes: computer science (CS) majors - juniors and seniors; non-CS majors from all levels, ranging from novices to domain experts; and information technology workforce. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has publicized grid computing and related technologies through the NSF Middleware Initiative (NMI2). NMI2 offers a rich collection of publications and software downloads for disseminating grid-related information. This project adapts the core components of NMI2 grid technology: grid architecture, grid services, and grid applications. Motivation for this project comes from the fact that tremendous work is being carried out at the research end of grid computing, whereas no formal structure is available for educating undergraduate students about the grid. This model provides a flexible and easy-to-use set of laboratory exercises based on grid computing. Broader impact is achieved through the use of multiple tiers of adaptation of the grid. Tier 1 exposes the concept of grid from the novice user point of view. Tier 2 is for the serious designer and applications. This tier is aimed at junior and senior level undergraduate students who have sufficient background in Computer Science. Tier 3 involves technical training for information technology professionals in industry. Disseminated through a special web site, workshops and a textbook contribute to the impact process.

计算机科学(31)这个项目涉及两个机构之间的合作：布法罗的纽约州立大学是一所研究型大学，而杰内索的纽约州立大学是一所四年制学校。该项目实现了一个将网格技术应用到本科课程中的模型，体现了它的智力优势。目标受众包括：计算机科学(CS)专业的大三和大四学生；来自所有级别的非CS专业的学生，从新手到领域专家；以及信息技术工作人员。美国国家科学基金会(NSF)通过NSF中间件倡议(NMI2)宣传了网格计算和相关技术。NMI2提供了丰富的出版物和软件下载，用于传播与网格相关的信息。该项目采用了NMI2网格技术的核心组件：网格体系结构、网格服务和网格应用程序。这个项目的动机来自于这样一个事实，即网格计算的研究端正在进行大量的工作，而没有正式的结构来教育本科生关于网格的知识。该模型提供了一套灵活易用的基于网格计算的实验室练习。通过使用电网的多层适应来实现更广泛的影响。第1层从新手用户的角度展示了网格的概念。第二层是针对严肃的设计师和应用程序的。这一级别是针对在计算机科学方面有足够背景的大三和大四的本科生。第三级涉及对工业界信息技术专业人员的技术培训。通过一个专门的网站传播、讲习班和教科书有助于影响进程。
