Description
This poster presents a book which is due to be published in 2009 about HEP computing. HEP research has been constantly limited by technology, both in the accelerator and detector domains as well as that of computing. At the same time High Energy physicists have greatly contributed to the development of Information Technology. Several developments conceived for HEP have found applications well beyond, the World Wide Web being the most notable example. This book describes the evolution of HEP computing, and in particular those aspects that have been most innovative. The different aspects are described by contributions from different authors in a coherent ensemble. The subject has been treated in the past mostly in conference proceedings or in specialised books on physics computing, but, to our knowledge, no other book has given a complete account of the evolution of HEP computing.
