2013 Grid Protection Alliance (GPA)
3rd Annual Tutorial and User's Forum
You're Invited!
A full-day Technical Tutorial on code development for GPA products
The GPA Technical Tutorial on August 13 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., is a deep dive into GPA open source libraries and products and is intended for C# developers looking to deploy and/or enhance them. Participating in this session is a good way to learn more about the Grid Solutions Framework (GSF). The GSF can be used to process and manage streaming time-stamped data through a collection of configurable adapter components. Developers will gain a working knowledge of the framework, which will enable them to extend existing modules or develop new modules for the open source libraries.
The User’s Forum for GPA’s open source projects
The GPA User's Forum on August 14 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., provides an opportunity for GPA product users to share implementation examples with one another. This session will educate those that are new to GPA open-source projects, inform developers about new software components, and provide insight from the industry on the practical application of the GSF, openXDA, openPG, and openPDC. Input collected during the GPA User’s Forum will be used to help prioritize GPA’s development work in 2014.
