| Title | From the Web to the Grid and Beyond : Computing Paradigms Driven by High-Energy Physics |
| Author(s) | Brun, Ren??;Carminati, Federico;Galli Carminati, Giuliana |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012. |
| Description | XX, 360 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Born after World War II, large-scale experimental high-energy physics (HEP) has found itself limited ever since by available accelerator, detector and computing technologies. Accordingly, HEP has made significant contributions to the development of these fields, more often than not driving their innovations. The invention of the World Wide Web at CERN is merely the best-known example out of many. This book is the first comprehensive account to trace the history of this pioneering spirit in the field of computing technologies. It covers everything up to and including the present-day handling of the huge demands imposed upon grid and distributed computing by full-scale LHC operations - operations which have for years involved many thousands of collaborating members worldwide and accordingly provide the original and natural testbed for grid computing concepts. This book takes the reader on a guided tour encompassing all relevant topics, including programming languages, software engineering, large databases, the Web, and grid- and cloud computing. The important issue of intellectual property regulations for distributed software engineering and computing is also addressed. Aptly, the book closes with a visionary chapter of what may lie ahead. Approachable and requiring only basic understanding of physics and computer sciences, this book is intended for both education and research |

| Title | Software Systems for Astronomy |
| Author(s) | Conrad, Albert R |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2014. |
| Description | XI, 95 p. 38 illus., 18 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book covers the use and development of software for astronomy. It describes the control systems used to point the telescope and operate its cameras and spectrographs, as well as the web-based tools used to plan those observations. In addition, the book also covers the analysis and archiving of astronomical data once it has been acquired. Readers will learn about existing software tools and packages, develop their own software tools, and analyze real data sets |
