Event generator programs are a ubiquitous feature of modern particle physics, since the ability to produce exclusive, unweighted simulations of high-energy events is necessary for design of detectors, analysis methods and understanding of SM backgrounds. However --- particularly in the non-perturbative areas of physics simulated by shower+hadronisation event generators --- there are many...

The CMS collaboration supports a wide spectrum of Monte Carlo generator packages in its official production, each of them requiring a dedicated software integration and physics validation effort. We report on the progress of the usage of these external programs with particular emphasis on the handling and tuning of the Matrix Element tools. The first integration tests in a large scale...

The Generator Services project collaborates with the Monte Carlo
generators authors and with the LHC experiments in order to prepare
validated LCG compliant code for both the theoretical and the
experimental communities at the LHC. On the one side it provides the
technical support as far as the installation and the maintenance of
the generators packages on the supported platforms is...

In this talk we present a way of making Monte-Carlo simulation chain fully automated.automation
Last years there was a need for common place to store sophisticated MC event samples prepared by experienced theorists. Also such samples should be accessible in some standard manner to be easyly imported and used in experiments' software.
The main motivation behind the LCG MCDB project is to...
