Preliminary Program

General introduction to ATLAS Software and Computing. The ATLAS software environment. The Athena framework, build system, release structure, data and algorithms in Athena. The Event Data Model.

a) Basics of Grid Computing-GRID. Organisation of the WLCG Grid. Technical aspects: Computing Elements, Storage Elements, Networking, Security, User Interfaces.
b) Tutorial: how to use ATLAS software, add algorithms, compile, run.

a) The ATLAS software chain: from Simulation through Trigger to Reconstruction and Physics Analysis Tools: how to set up and run an ATLAS analysis code.
b) Tutorial: how to set up a basic Grid infrastructure, including monitoring and accounting.

Distributed Data Management. Data catalogues, tools for data selection and access. Data movement tools.

a) The ATLAS Computing Model: integrating all tools into a working environment. Principles of the ATLAS grid infrastructure: Production System and Distributed Analysis.
b) Tutorial: how to select datasets of interest for your analysis, find their locations, access the data files.

Tutorial: how to run Trigger-aware analyses

Tutorial: how to use the Distributed Analysis Tools to send jobs to the data and get the output back.

The last steps of physics analysis: interactive access to local data.
