Welcome to the 8th Asian Tier Center Forum
In this event we aim to strengthen the collaborations mainly among the Asian countries which are members of the experiments at the CERN-LHC. Additionally, the event also encompasses the participants from other international high energy physics experiments dealing with big data, where the Asian countries are participating like, the BELLE , BELLE2 , DUNE, IceCube etc. This meeting provides a scope to discuss the computing issues for the coming decade and addresses the preparatory measures to be taken to facilitate analyses in the best possible way. The objectives of this forum is to share experiences for the improvement of the computing facilities of the Asian countries. It encompasses the network connectivity, and consolidation of the computing infrastucture for the LHC experiments among the Asian Tier sites.
