  Presentations by students
  - a) The SoLid Experiment
    
    The SoLid experiment aims to measure short distance neutrino oscillations using nuclear reactor antineutrinos. Key to its sensitivity are the experiment's high spatial and energy resolution, accomplishable via detector segmentation, large data rates and sophisticated reconstruction algorithms. SoLid is also capable of tracking cosmic muons; in principle a source of background, these turn into a valuable calibration source if they can be cleanly resolved. This talk gives an overview of the SoLid experiment, focusing on the associated computational challenges, and presents a brief selection of results from cosmic ray reconstruction at the most recent SoLid prototype, installed in the SCK-CEN research nuclear reactor at Mol, Belgium

  - b) ARM processors in HEP
    
    Speaker: Joshua Wyatt Smith (University of Cape Town (ZA))
    
    Slides
  - c) High performance I/O with the ZeroMQ (ØMQ) messaging library
    
    In this presentation an introduction of the ZeroMQ library is provided in the context of I/O in distributed performance without compromising performance.
