20th International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP2013)
David L. Groep, D. Bonacorsi · Journal of Physics Conference Series · 2014
In this age and time, capturing 'state of the art' of computing in a conference proceedings gets to be increasingly hard. It is quite common too for the submitted abstracts to refer to studies yet to be done – and the time span between abstract submission and the actual conference is often less than six months. By the time the proceedings appear in journal form, a similar period after its closing session, some of the work is over a year old, by which time new ideas will have been formed and the deployment of current ones progressed – at times beyond recognition. The preface is continued in the pdf.
