Og, commonly recognized as one of the earliest contributors to experimental particle physics, began his career by smashing two rocks together, then turning to his friend Zog and stating those famous words “oogh oogh”. It was not the rock-smashing that marked HEP’s origins, but rather the sharing of information, which then allowed Zog to confirm the important discovery, that rocks are indeed...

Publications in scholarly journals establish the body of knowledge deriving from scientific research; they also play a fundamental role in the career path of scientists and in the evaluation criteria of funding agencies.
This presentation reviews the evolution of computing-oriented publications in HEP following the start of operation of LHC. Quantitative analyses are illustrated, which...

Since 2009, the development of Indico has focused on usability, performance and new features, especially the ones related to meeting collaboration. Usability studies have resulted in the biggest change Indico has experienced up to now, a new web layout that makes the user experience better. Performance improvements were also a key goal since 2010; the main features of Indico have been...

In this talk, we will explain how CERN digital library services have evolved to deal with the publication of the first results of the LHC.
We will describe the work-flow of the documents on CERN Document Server and the diverse constraints relative to this work-flow.
We will also give an overview on how the underlying software, Invenio, has been enriched to cope with special needs.
In a...

The age and size of the CMS collaboration at the LHC means it now has many hundreds of inhomogeneous web sites and services and more than 100,000 documents.
We describe a major initiative to create a single coherent CMS internal and public web site. This uses the Drupal web Content Management System (now supported by CERN/IT) on top of a standard LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and...

In recent times, we have witnessed an explosion of video initiatives in the industry worldwide. Several advancements in video technology are currently improving the way we interact and collaborate. These advancements are forcing tendencies and overall experiences: any device in any network can be used to collaborate, in most cases with an overall high quality. To cope with this technology...

Preserving data from past experiments and
preserving the ability to perform analysis with
old data is of growing importance in many
domains of science, including High Energy
Physics (HEP). A study group on this issue,
DPHEP, has been established in this field to
provide guidelines and a structure for
international collaboration on data
preservation projects in HEP. This...

In HEP, scientific research is performed by large collaborations of organizations and individuals. Log book of a scientific collaboration is important part of the collaboration record. Often, it contains experimental data.
At FNAL, we developed an Electronic Collaboration Logbook (ECL) application which is used by about 20 different collaborations, experiments and groups at FNAL. ECL is the...

Project management tools like Trac are commonly used within the open-source community to coordinate projects. The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) uses the project management web application Redmine to host mice.rl.ac.uk. Many groups within the experiment have a Redmine project: analysis, computing and software (including offline, online, controls and monitoring, and database...
