Tutorials
Important Notice!
Tutorial S16 (How to Build a Grid Service Using the Globus Toolkit(R) 3), Tutorial M01 (How to Build a Grid Service Using the Globus Toolkit(R) 3), and Tutorial M09 (Cluster Construction Utilizing Selected Packages) have exceeded their maximum enrollments, and we have cut off registration to those tutorials. (Their tutorial notes are still available, however.)

Full-day tutorials are being offered on Sunday and Monday, November 16-17. These are not included in the Technical Program registration and require separate registration and fee.

A special Tutorials Passport for one or two days is available. A one-day passport (either Sunday or Monday) entitles you to attend any tutorials offered on that day, a tutorial luncheon, and your selection of notes for one full-day tutorial. A two-day passport gives you approximately a 20 percent discount on the price of two one-day passports. Your selection of tutorial notes must be specified on the registration form. An additional benefit of the Tutorials Passport is that you can purchase additional tutorial notes at a significantly reduced rate.

Seating at the tutorials is on a first-come, first-served basis. You are welcome to sit in on as many other tutorials as you like for the day(s) you are registered, but you will receive only the notes that you reserve in advance.

Tutorial Notes
Tutorial notes can be picked up at the SC2003 Conference Store upon presentation of the notes ticket(s) provided in your registration packet. You will only receive notes for the tutorial(s) you selected on your registration form. Notes for other tutorials may be purchased at additional cost.
