Description
Why should PhD students in particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology worry about the current and future challenges of distributed computing? Should not we all focus on core scientific problems, and then let others deal with how to find, provision and exploit the technologies that are required? This talk will show how that was not the case in the past and will likely not be the case also for upcoming scientific experiments and needs, pointing to some of the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead of us.
