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 ... Read more

Reviews for From the Web to the Grid and Beyond
From the reviews: “The editors of this book have brought together chapters written by many well-known people in the field of computing in high-energy physics. … It is a highly interesting book, and I plan to read many of the chapters again.” (Peter Clarke, CERN Courier, April, 2014) “This book is a review of developments over the past ...
