Description
The ALICE Offline framework is now in its 8th year of development and is now close to
be used for data taking. This talk will provide a short description of the history of
AliRoot and then will describe the latest developments. The newly added alignment
framework, based on the ROOT geometrical modeller will be described. The experience
with the FLUKA MonteCarlo used for full detector simulation will be reported. AliRoot
has also been used extensively for data challenges, and in particular for the
parallel and distributed analysis of the generated data. This experience will be
described. The talk will also describe the roadmap from now to the initial data
taking and the scenario for the usage of AliRoot for early physics at LHC.
