The University of Nebraska-Lincoln will host a 2012 Open Science Grid All Hands Meeting from March 19 - 22. The meeting demonstrates the dedication of the department to its students by staying current and participating in the latest technological research.
The schedule is as follows:

The OSG combines research from numerous fields that operate through open distributed computing. "The Open Science Grid (OSG) provides a common service and support for resource providers and scientific institutions using a distributed fabric of high throughput computational services." Current research involves using the OSG to study DNA and to analyze neutrino evidence.
UNL functions as a Virtual Organization (VO) of the program. OSG is composed of 30 VO's at 80 sites. Their function is to research problems along the high-throughput grid.
Please email osg-ahm@hcc-mail.unl.edu or contact LaRita Lang at (402) 472-3826 for more information.
The OSG is funded by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy.
