First ATLAS-SouthCaucasus Software/Computing Workshop & Tutorial

Asia/Tbilisi
Tbilisi, Georgia

Tbilisi, Georgia

Alexander Sharmazanashvili (CERN & CADCAM), Dario Barberis (CERN/Genoa), Jim Shank (Boston University)
Description
This event follows on from the establishment in 2009 of the academic network links between the South Caucasus countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) and the European Geant2 network infrastructure. It aims at establishing and fostering contacts between ATLAS collaborators and computing people in these countries and experts in ATLAS software and Grid computing technologies. There will be three types of sessions: • Talks (general presentations and tutorials) on software and computing in ATLAS • Practical tutorial sessions • Talks by local collaborators on their contributions to ATLAS Ample time will be reserved for discussions, both during and outside the formal sessions.
