Computing in HEP at the time of the grid
Federico Carminati, René Brun, Giuliana Galli Carminati · 2009
During the past forty years High Energy Physics (HEP) computing has faced the challenge of software development by distributed communities, and of exploiting geographically distributed computing resources.HEP computing has been very successful in fulfilling its mandate.For many aspects, HEP computing has been today where computing was going to be tomorrow.This book, due to appear in the second half of 2009, describes the evolution of HEP computing, and in particular those aspects that have been most innovative.
