[THEGrid] Link for US LHC networking requirements background

[Alan Sill]

Hi Dan,

Thanks for agreeing to put us in touch with those who should be  
invited to the US LHC Science Requirements Data & Networking workshop  
for our region, to be held Wednesday Feb. 22 at Texas A&M University.

We intend to invite all relevant high energy physics personnel in the  
region to help define the science requirements for networking and  
data transfer.  Registration pages are up now for this meeting at the  
URL:

The following additional page giving the results of a US-wide LHC  
meeting on the same topic may provide talks that will be of good  
background interest:

There will be a handful of such workshops throughout the US focusing  
on the science needs for data transfer and involving discussions  
between scientists and networking people in each region.  The success  
of these workshops depends on having good engagement between the  
science, computing and networking communities in each area across a  
large number of institutions.

We look forward to talking with others in the LEARN management, and  
to having them call this series of meetings to their attention so  
that we can make progress against the important challenge of moving  
and processing LHC data.  As Project Director for the Texas High  
Energy Grid, and as the lead member of the development team for  
TIGRE, I can assure you of the high degree to which making progress  
in this area will lead to further progress on even more general- 
purpose science with grid computing in the future.
