Description
The High Energy Physics (HEP) community has been both an early adopter of grid technology as well as a driving force behind EGEE and other grid projects. The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) builds on the infrastructures established by these projects and has been successfully used for LHC data taking, processing and analysis.
The most important elements of the Grid infrastructure provided for the experiments will be presented during this session; the computing models of the experiments, the operation protocols used at the sites, and the end-user analysis infrastructures. In addition, other related communities are represented at this session such as Synchrotron Radiation Facilities. Therefore, the HEP session will be a forum where common aspects of Grid computing infrastructure used by different large communities will be discussed.
The EGEE User Forums have always provided an ideal framework to share experiences between Grid users, and to trigger collaborations between different clusters. The topics that will be presented and discussed during this session will encourage the continuation of existing collaborations and hopefully initiate new ones.
