intro

CHEP Program

The scientific program of CHEP 2012 was comprised of of a plenary session of invited oral presentations, a number of parallel sessions comprising oral and poster presentations, and an industrial, academic and research exhibition. The plenary session occupied the five mornings of the conference, and the parallel sessions were held on three afternoons. The program committee organized the scientific program, and news on the final program schedule was published in supplemental bulletins.

Content

The theme of the conference focussed on the processing of HEP data at all stages, from the high level triggers that run on farms of CPUs situated close to the experiment through to the final analyses that use resources distributed worldwide. We drew on the experience from running experiments and also to review the status of new studies of the distributed computing models being made as part of the LHC experimental program. Experts from the computing industry were invited to give an insight into future technology trends for the underlying computer fabrics, networks and software components.
