The International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP 2007) was held in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada from September 2 - 7. The Conference, organized jointly by TRIUMF and the University of Victoria, provided an international forum for delegates to exchange information on their computing experiences and to review recent, ongoing, and future activities for their community.
The scientific programme was organized into seven tracks: i) online computing; ii) event processing; iii) software components, tools and databases; iv) computer facilities, production grids and networking; v) grid middleware and tools; vi) distributed data analysis and information management; and, vii) collaborative tools.
The Conference attracted close to 500 delegates from all over the world with about 430 abstract submissions from about 1200 authors. Half of the contributions were selected for oral presentations and half as posters. The proceedings of CHEP 2007 will be published in the open access Journal of Physics: Conference Series (JPCS), published by the Institute of Physics (IOP) Publishing and will be free to read, download, and cite. Oral presentations are also available from the CHEP 2007 Web site.
Prior to the Conference, a Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) Collaboration meeting, put on by the local organizing committee, was held on September 1-2 at the Victoria Conference Centre.
CHEP conferences are held in roughly 18-month intervals. CHEP 2009 is scheduled for March, 2009 in Prague, Czech Republic.
