Welcome to CSC2012, the 35^th edition of the CERN School of Computing. I would like to warmly thank all those who made this edition of the CSC possible: all our lecturers, track coordinators, members of the advisory committee, the CERN administrative and technical staff, as well as our national co-organizer, the Uppsala University, and specially Prof. Ingela Nystroem, the chair person of the Local Organising Committee and the team working with her. François Fluckiger, Director of the CERN School of Computing

About CSC:

Since the early seventies CERN has organized the CERN Schools of Computing (CSC), usually held in August/September. They last two weeks and are open to postgraduate students and research workers with a few years of experience in particle physics, in computing or in related fields. Attendance ranges usually from 60 to 80 students, typically of 15 to 30 different nationalities.
