21-25 August 2017: ACAT 2017 International Workshop

The 18th International Workshop on Advanced Computing and Analysis Techniques in Physics Research will take place in Seattle from 21 to 25 August 2017

The 18th International Workshop on Advanced Computing and Analysis Techniques in Physics Research (ACAT 2017) will take place in Seattle at the University of Washington between 21 and 25 August 2017. We hope to see you there! The 18th edition of ACAT aims, once again, to bring together computational experts from a wide range of disciplines including particle and nuclear physics, astronomy and astrophysics, and accelerator science to explore and confront the boundaries of computing, of automated data analysis as well as theoretical calculation technologies. It will create a forum for exchanging ideas among the fields and will explore and promote cutting-edge computing, data analysis and theoretical calculation technologies in fundamental physics research.

There is a lot going on in physics research right now. Cloud computing is becoming very cheap, machine learning algorithms are exploding, GPU usage is becoming commonplace and easily accessible. We are firmly in the era of parallel processing and adapting to the world of high performance computing. Planning for computing for LHC's next run is well underway. The LSST project will commence data taking soon. A HEP software foundation is getting its feet off the ground. We hope you'll join us, and perhaps considering submitting an abstract, discussing many of these topics in August in Seattle!
