The HUBzero Platform is a web framework for the easy creation of an entire scientific hub.

HUBzero has powerful simulation and modeling capabilities. Any standard desktop tool that runs under Linux/X11 can be deployed on a hub in a matter of hours. Other batch-oriented simulation codes that don’t have a graphical interface can be deployed as well. A graphical interface for such codes can be created by using the Rappture Toolkit within HUBzero.

IU is hosting a one-day, hands-on workshop to teach you how to create scientific simulation tools using the Rappture toolkit, and how to deploy the tools on a site powered by HUBzero.

* When: August 21, 9am-5pm
* Main site: ICTC 407 (IUPUI)
* Via polycom: Wrubel Computing Center, room 110 (IU Bloomington)
* Instructor: Michael McLennan, HUBzero team leader, Purdue University

Prerequisites: A laptop with a modern web browser (e.g., Firefox, Internet Explorer 8, or Safari) and Java 6; familiarity with programming in MATLAB, C, or Fortran
