Using an end-to-end demonstration in an undergraduate grid computing course

In this paper, we describe a demonstration called an “End-to-End” demonstration developed for the 2005 offering of our grid computing course that was taught across the State of North Carolina in 2004 and 2005. This course was broadcast across the State of North Carolina using NCREN (North Carolina Research and Education Network) a televideo network. Eight universities and colleges participated in the course in 2004, which grew to 12 universities and colleges in 2005. We will briefly outline the course as the background information to the demonstration. We created the End-to-End demonstration to bring together the aspects of grid computing that are taught in the course.
