Les Houches Analysis Description Accord Workshop

This working meeting aims to make progress on a realistic implementation of the first proposal for a Les Houches Analysis Description Accord (LHADA). LHADA is intended as a format capable of describing the contents of an LHC analysis in a standard and unambiguous way. The motivation for LHADA and an initial proposal can be found in the Les Houches PhysTeV 2015 workshop proceedings sections 16 and 17 respectively: https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.02684 In this working meeting, we will: -- implement one or more example LHC analyses in currently proposed LHADA format to test LHADAs feasibility -- work on writing a generic parser to read the proposed LHADA format and link the information to any analysis framework Additionally, a common discussion with members of the CERN Analysis Preservation Support Group will take place. Vidyo connection will be available. A twiki page dedicated to proposed LHADA format development can be found at https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LHCPhysics/LHADAparser. The outcomes of this meeting will be presented during the upcoming reinterpretation forum meeting: https://indico.cern.ch/event/571190/ for details.
