Current data analysis
methodologies in high-energy physics often fall short when managing large scale
processing tasks over distributed datasets and used by distributed members
within a collaboration or working group.
There is no commnon semantic to describe analysis workflow and its
attributes for the myriad of complex process types comprising a typical physics
study. Without a formal syntax, clarity
and composition of methodologies, reproducibility of results, and portability
of execution are difficult to achieve over the lifetime of typical high energy
physics experiment. This project will develop
process oriented programming methods and environrments for the production and
analysis of distributed datasets in high energy particle physics. This would result in an "Analysis
Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: A system that improves clarity of expression in applications with large data sets should be of interest in both the physics and business communities. Specific opportunites for commercialization include supply chain management, epidemiology, and computational biology.
