Please note that we have 4 places for this workshop. Interested students who could not sign up, could check the registration regularly in case of cancellations. 

The LHCb data acquisition will be explained on a thorough guided tour. Then we will use a test-setup to demonstrate and (compete to) solve some common problems in networked data acquisition systems as they are used by the LHC experiments. We will have fun with switches, network analyzers and data-flow control.

Requirements:

• Basic notions of computer programming and use of the Unix (Linux) command-line

Computers will be provided but you can bring your own, if preferred.
