Description
The library of Monte Carlo generator tools maintained by LCG (GENSER) guarantees the
centralized software and physics support for the simulation of fundamental
interactions, and is currently widely adopted by the LHC collaborations.
While the activity in the LCG Phase I was mostly concentrating in the
standardization, integration and maintenance of the existing Monte Carlo packages,
more emphasis is currently being placed on the contribution to the development,
testing and primary validation of new Monte Carlo packages, most of them designed
using object oriented technologies.
The current status and the future plans of this activity are presented, with emphasis
on the testing and validation.
The status of MCDB, the public database for the configuration, book-keeping and
storage of the generator level event files is also reviewed.
