Description of Series

This informal, hands-on three part workshop series will introduce several key concepts in distributed computing.  Topics discussed will include: sockets programming, web-based applications architecture, client-server application prototyping, CORBA implementations, PVM and high performance parallel computing.  Example code will be supplied and applications will be developed by attendees during the workshops.  The three parts are designed to be independent of each other.
