| Ruth Pordes Elected OSG Executive Director |
Members of the Open Science Grid Council announced yesterday the election
"The OSG is an exciting opportunity and a great challenge," said Pordes. "I look forward to the work of the next two years, as we provide a solid distributed computing base for LHC physics, support Run II and astrophysics jobs and data, and work with more science communities." The OSG is a nationwide community grid built by research groups from U.S. universities and national laboratories that enables collaborative research through distributed computing technologies. Over the past year, OSG researchers have provided distributed computing, storage and network resources to projects in several scientific domains, including the DZero experiment and the US collaborations of the CMS and ATLAS experiments.

| Algorithms Flow at Detector Simulation Workshop | ||
| ||
|
Last month in Boulder, Colorado, about 30 scientists shared ideas and worked together on software problems at the American Linear Collider Physics Group Detector Simulation Workshop.
"This was a software mini-workshop," said SLAC's Norman Graf who was a member of the workshop's Organizing Committee, together with Uriel Nauenberg and Stephen Wagner of the University of Colorado and Anthony Johnson of SLAC. "The goal is to provide an informal atmosphere for people to get together and exchange ideas. We try to get the experts together with the software users in an informal atmosphere, and ask questions, brainstorm and do some design work. This workshop was particularly nice because we had a large number of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Colorado attend."

CERN Press Release, February 1, 2006: European particle physics sets course for the future
"Particle physics has an exciting future" : this was the key message emerging from the Open Symposium on particle physics strategy in Europe, which concluded at Orsay, France, today. Organised by the CERN* Council Strategy Group, this Symposium is the first of a series of events that will conclude in Lisbon on 14 July 2006, when the Group will present its long-term vision for particle physics in Europe to the 20 European states of the CERN Council.
