ROOT Users Workshop, 11 - 14 March, Saas-Fee

Featuring ROOT 6 - The Next Generation

Workshop Poster [1], First Bulletin [2], Second Bulletin [3]

Since almost two decades, ROOT has established itself as the framework for HENP data processing and analysis. The LHC upgrade program and the new experiments being designed at CERN and elsewhere will pose even more  formidable challenges in terms of data complexity and size. The new parallel and heterogeneous computing architectures that are either announced or already available will call for a deep rethinking of the code and the data structures to be exploited efficiently.
This workshop, following from a successful series of such events [4], will allow you to learn in detail about the new ROOT 6 and will help shape the future evolution of ROOT.
