Students are invited to propose a topic they would be interested in presenting, during a special one-hour session to take place the second Tuesday afternoon. Those selected will be invited to give a short presentation (in the order of 5 to 10 minutes maximum).

The presentation, in particular if short, would not necessarily require presentation material (such as PowerPoint slides)

The choice of topic is free but should be related in some way to the school. Examples, you may briefly talk about:

  • A scientific / technical topic (such as examples only)

    • HEP, HEP computing, on-line, off-line, , ...

    • HEP Sister disciplines, Computer science, ...

    • Other

  • Your presence here

    • Why are you here, where do you come from, what is your discipline, what are you expecting from the school, how do you think you will be exploiting the knowledge acquired here, ...

Note: if you are presenting in a group, please select one of you to use the login and password and write the names of all members of the group in the description.

Title

Description

Eduardo Alvarez Fernandez

  Software Quality Assurance, How to improve the quality of your software through testing The Quality Assurance in software development is one of the most important parts. Nowadays the complexity of the software projects has grown a lot, including standalone software, Service Oriented Systems or HEP Software as example and although usually developers are used to test their applications, the testing process is quite complex and includes a big number of procedures, methodologies, techniques and tools that could be not well known by the development team. In this short presentation we will try to give a light overview of the common problems presents in the testing of the software, introduce different testing approachs and also solutions to the problems presented.

Time-critical Database Condition Data Handling in the CMS Experiment during the First Data Taking Period

Automatic, synchronous and reliable population of the condition databases is critical for the correct operation of the online selection as well as of the offline reconstruction and analysis of data. I describe the expected behavior of the handling, the storage and the retrieval of condition data for the CMS experiment. I will also present the monitoring system used to visualize the status of the condition data infrastructure.
