Description
The Applications Area of the LCG Project is concerned with developing, deploying and
maintaining that part of the physics applications software and associated supporting
infrastructure software that is common among the LHC experiments. This area is
managed as a number of specific projects with well-defined policies for coordination
between them and with the direct participation of the primary users of the software,
the LHC experiments. It has been organized to focus on real experiment needs and
special attention has been given to maintaining open information flow and decision
making.
The Applications Area has recently stated the second phase and an overview of the
recent changes in the scope, objectives and organization is presented. In particular,
the merge of the ROOT and SEAL projects into a single project. In addition, we
describe the steps taken to facilitate the long-term support and maintenance of the
software products that are being currently developed and that are essential for the
operation of the LHC experiments.
