Registration open, Cern School of Computing, Copenhagen, Denmark

Registration to the CERN School of Computing is open. CSC2011 will take place in Copenhagen from the 15th to the 26th of August.

The program is comprised of three main themes: Data Technologies, Base Technologies and Physics Computing  and will address a number or timely questions including:

• Do you know how to bridge Grids and Cloudsusing virtualization technology?
• Is it possible to simplify LHC physics analysis using virtualmachine?
• How can reliablestorageservices be built from unreliable hardware?
• Why are tapesstill used in high energy physics data storage?
• How can I write code for tomorrow’shardware, today?
• Do you want to see your software with attacker'seyes?
• Can you hackyour own code?
• What's so special about High Energy Physic's data format?
• What are the key statisticalmethodsused in physics data analysis?

The CSC is a true Summer University. The focus is on delivering knowledge rather than know-how, which can better be provided in the form of training at home institutes.

A final examination is proposed to students. Successful participants will receive the highly recognized CSC Diploma as well as formal Certificate of Credits awarded by the University of Copenhagen.

Networking and socialization is the other goal of CSCs. One vehicle for social networking is the CSC Sport Programme which proposes two to three hours of sport every afternoon to those who are interested.
