The purpose of the LCG's Applications Area is to exploit the substantial potential among the four LHC experiments for the development and use of common application software . Any piece of common software developed in the LCG must conform to a cohe rent overall architectural vision\; make consistent use of an identified s et of core tools\, libraries and services\; integrate and inter-operate w ell with other LCG software and experiment software\; and function in the distributed environment of the LCG.\n\nThe blueprint establishes architect ural guidance for LCG software projects to ensure that these criteria are met. The blueprint is established in terms of a set of requirements\, sugg ested approaches and guidelines grounded in modern C++ programming paradig ms\, a survey of the software domains\, and recommendations to the SC2\, t he overseeing requirements body through which the experiments determine th e LCG program and which commissioned the blueprint. An important architect ural issue is the relationship between the LCG software and ROOT. The blue print proposes a user/provider relationship that all experiments and the R OOT team expect to yield a productive working relationship. The blueprint was developed by a group representing the experiments and other key stakeh olders which met between June and October 2002. This talk will present the blueprint to the LHC.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confI d=a021717 LOCATION:CERN Room 40-S2-A01 and VRVS Room MOON 40-S2-A01 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a021717 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The LHC software and the ROOT framework DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20021107T130000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20021107T143000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130618T073921Z UID:indico-event-a021718@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:The offline systems currently developed by LHC experiments wil l soon\nreach sizes of multi million lines of code written by teams distri buted\nall around the world. These systems will be operational for at leas t two\ndecades and will be in constant evolution to reflect changes in th e\nalgorithms\, languages\, computing infrastructure and detector. A\nsubs tantial fraction of this software is expected to be experiment\nindependen t. We are only four years away from the first LHC events. The\ndeployment of the experiment specific software requires a stable and\nproven software framework with an agreed development path. The choice of\nthe framework w ill have a direct impact on the end user.\n\nThe ROOT project is an attemp t to provide a common and coherent framework\nfor developing experiment-de pendent software. ROOT has been developed in\nclose collaboration with man y experiments and is becoming the de facto\nstandard for object storage an d interactive data analysis in High Energy \nand Nuclear Physics experimen ts. The seminar will illustrate several\nimportant aspects of the ROOT fra mework (Object dictionary\, Object\npersistency\, C++ interpreter\, Plug-i n manager\, etc) with emphasis on the\nhierarchy and relationship between the sub components. The planned \ndevelopment strategy will be presented.\ n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a021718 LOCATION:CERN and VRVS Room MOON 40-S2-A01 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a021718 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:LHC Computing at CERN: Technology Review and Cost Estimate DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20030626T133000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20030626T150000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130618T073921Z UID:indico-event-a031630@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Recently another round of technology review (PASTA) was \ncomp leted. The information is used to estimate and to predict \nbasic element costs for CPU server systems (processors and \nmemory) and for storage sys tems based on hard disk drives. \nThe PASTA report also covers tertiary s torage and reviews the \nstatus and evolution of tape technology particula rly in the \ncontext of its application at CERN.\n\nThese estimates were u sed for a refined costing model of the \nLHC Computing Grid (LCG) environm ent at CERN for 2005-2010.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?c onfId=a031630 LOCATION:40-S2-A01 and VRVS room: DESERT 40-S2-A01 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a031630 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Practical Experience with the Globus Toolkit 3 and OGSA DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20030924T070000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20030924T100000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130618T073921Z UID:indico-event-a035448@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:An OGSA/GT3 evaluation group is active at CERN since GT3 was\n available in early beta version (Spring 2003). This activity\nfocuses on t he evaluation of the technology as promised by\nthe OGSA/OGSI paradigm and on GT3 in particular. The goal was\nto study this new technology and its implications with the\ngoal to provide useful input for the large grid ini tiatives\nactive in the LHC Computing Grid (LCG) project. A particular\nef fort has been devoted to investigate performance and\ndeployment issues\, having in mind the LCG requirements\, in\nparticular scalability and robus tness. In this seminar\, the\nactivity and the main results of this activi ty are presented.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a03 5448 LOCATION:CERN 40-S2-B01 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a035448 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:A Grid-Enabled Collaboratory for Scientific Research (GECSR) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20040720T120000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20040720T160000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130618T073921Z UID:indico-event-a043530@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:\nSee the full Seminar Description\n\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/ conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a043530 LOCATION:CERN URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a043530 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Introduction to gLite DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20050708T110000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20050708T153000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130618T073921Z UID:indico-event-a054204@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:gLite (pronounced "gee-lite") is the next generation middlewar e for grid computing. Born from the collaborative efforts of more than 80 people in 11 different academic and industrial research centres as part of the EGEE Project\, gLite provides a bleeding-edge\, best-of-breed framewo rk for building grid applications tapping into the power of distributed co mputing and storage resources across the Internet.\nThis introductory cour se to the new middleware offers an overview of the\nfeatures and gives an opportunity to try out the new system on the Gilda\ntestbed.\nThe course i s targeted mainly at members of the Swiss/German EGEE federation\,\nalthou gh a very limited amount of seats is available for external\nparticipants. \nThe course assumes that participants have a user-level familiarity with\ nLCG-2 job submission\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId =a054204 LOCATION:Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe 441--1-K3 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a054204 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:GGUS Training for Supporters DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20051110T120000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20051111T120000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130618T073921Z UID:indico-event-a056547@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:A training in techniques related to the GGUS portal\, targeted at\nmembers of the EGEE / LCG support team.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conf erenceDisplay.py?confId=a056547 LOCATION:Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe Rotunde-- URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a056547 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
