Information systems,
Process engineering &
software Technology Group

We identify and address software engineering problems across experiments and projects, and provide common solutions. We also support and service CERN project teams that produce software for HEP experiments to improve their software development practices based on defined and supported common standards, methods, and tools. Our activities include:

  • Collaboration and technology transfer to the teams producing software in the experiments
  • Consultancy on software engineering and information systems
  • Methods and tools for software engineering
  • Development of projects of general use, in cooperation with the experiments

Process Engineering and Software Technology

Activities focus on: information, the organisation of the software development process, and the appropriate methods and tools to support them.

Information and Documentation Systems

Information and Documentation are crucial for experiments with thousands of physicists, lasting several decades. The IPT group took part in the original development of WWW and we now use this technology for experimental physics.

Projects
  • CEDAR (CERN EDMS for LHC), participation with OO and web expertise
  • LIGHT, LIfecycle Global HyperText
  • WIRED, WWW Interactive Remote Event Display
