Mumbai (TIFR)

Brij Kishor Jashal (RAL, TIFR and IFIC), Kajari Mazumdar (Tata Inst. of Fundamental Research (IN)), Kujin Cho (Korea Institute of Science & Technology Information (KR)), Ilyeon Yeo (Korea Institute of Science & Technology Information (KR)), Hee Jun Yoon (KiSTi Korea Institute of Science & Technology Information (KR)), Seo-Young Noh (Chungbuk National University (KR))

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.

ATCF8

During the 3 day meeting, the important focus areas will be, overview of the computing challenges in  the coming decade, status of computing for the experiment, reports from the Asian sites, wide area networking, LHCONE and different NRENs, technology update and HTCondor tutorials etc. This meeting will also include interaction with experts with latest updates on different Grid computing technologies like Middleware, HTCondor, storage technologies etc..
