Community Activity: OMII
Wednesday , 05-October 11:00a– 3:30p
Steven Newhouse, The Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute

Target Audience:
Application developers wishing to deply OMII 2.0 and system adminstrators who want to use OMII to expose their resources to collaborators

Introduction:
OMII - The Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute (http://www.omii.ac.uk/index.htm) is an institute of the University Of Southampton. The OMII mission is to provide Grid software distributions of choice for application scientists and industry wishing to either establish a grid infrastructure and/or develop applications and services for a grid infrastructure.

This course introduces the new features of the OMII 2.0.0 release. This has an improved installation process, updates to the services in OMII 1.x, the inclusion of GridSAM job submission and monitoring service from the OMII's managed programme and integration with OGSA-DAI (WS-I) to support data access and integration.

The OMII distribution 2.0.0 is available from http://www.omii.ac.uk/ It is freely downloadable, open source middleware that allows applications to be hosted by an OMII server, and made available in a secure and controlled manner to users runnning the OMII client software. It enables input data to be moved from the client to the service provider, the data to be processed by an application on the service provider, and output to be retrieved. The middleware is built on a web services container, with WS-Security and additional OMII-specific services. Applications can be run upon the server, or via a local job management system such as Condor or PBS.

The training will cover system and service installation, configuration, and management of the OMII_2 infrastructure. The training is primarily intended for application scientists and systems administrators who might manage a service installation.

The course will enable participants to:
1. Gain an overview of the OMII 2.0 middleware
2. Install and configure the OMII 2.0 release and its supported services.
3. Host their applications in the OMII server, execute their binary applications, access data resources through OGAS-DAI and build client software..

Recommended Prerequisites:
Participants are urged to download the client software and gain experience in its use. (Go to http://www.omii.ac.uk/, create an account with OMII and the download is well-documented.) This is simple and cannot be included in a short course.

Preliminary Agenda:
* Welcome and Overview
* Installing the OMII Server
* GridSAM client use & server configuration
* BPEL installation, use & examples
* OMII Client development & use
