EPJ Web of Conferences Highlight - CHEP2019: Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics

A snapshot of quantum field fluctuations present in the space-time vacuum that are experienced by quarks, the fundamental particles that constitute nuclear matter (here the gluonic topological charge density).

The CHEP conferences address the computing, networking and software issues for the world’s leading data‐intensive science experiments that currently analyse hundreds of petabytes of data using worldwide computing resources.

The 24th International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP 2019), took place at the Adelaide Convention Centre in Adelaide, South Australia from 4–8 November 2019.

The CHEP conference series was established in 1985, and since then has been one of the most important events in the field of computing in high-energy and nuclear physics, facilitating the exchange of ideas between physicists, computer scientists, and software engineers. The conference covers a broad set of topics such as online, offline and distributed computing; software development, simulation, reconstruction and analysis packages; data handling, databases and storage solutions; clouds, virtualisation and containers; networking and facilities, including high performance computing. Highlights of this conference were the use of machine learning and compute accelerators, as well as talks from other data intensive sciences, such as astrophysics. The conference also featured a local outreach event, and a panel discussion on promoting and supporting diversity in the field.

This was our first experience of publishing with EPJ Web of Conferences. We contacted the publisher in the middle of September, just one month prior to the Conference, but everything went through smoothly. We have had published MNPS Proceedings with different publishers in the past, and would like to tell that the EPJ Web of Conferences team was probably the best, very quick, helpful and interactive. Typically, we were getting responses from EPJ Web of Conferences team within less than an hour and have had help at every production stage.
We are very thankful to Solange Guenot, Web of Conferences Publishing Editor, and Isabelle Houlbert, Web of Conferences Production Editor, for their support. These ladies are top-level professionals, who made a great contribution to the success of this issue. We are fully satisfied with the publication of the Conference Proceedings and are looking forward to further cooperation. The publication was very fast, easy and of high quality. My colleagues and I strongly recommend EPJ Web of Conferences to anyone, who is interested in quick high-quality publication of conference proceedings.
