Since the beginning of Run2, in one year ALICE has accumulated as much p-p and Pb-Pb data as in the entire Run 1. This presents unique challenges to the data processing and analysis on the Grid, most notably in optimization of storage and reconstruction/analysis software. The capacity and load on the Grid resources continue to grow with the habitual 20% per annum and these must be used in a fashion allowing ALICE to achieve all of its physics goals. The workshop will focus on resource optimization, new methods of site operations and new middleware solutions, as well as on networking status and security. Thee will be a special session on the ALICE upgrade for Run3 on the second day. The workshop will continue the tradition of open information exchange between Grid site administrators, Grid software and networking experts.
