Founded in as a government-funded research institution, KISTI has played a pivotal role in spearheading groundbreaking computational science projects for the Korean scientific community and government agencies. KISTI's cutting-edge computing infrastructure and expertise have made it a global leader in high-throughput and high-performance computing. KISTI's legacy extends beyond its scientific achievements. The institute has been instrumental in promoting science literacy and fostering a culture of innovation among the Korean public.
Through its educational programs, outreach initiatives, and public engagement efforts, KISTI has ignited a passion for science and technology among generations of Koreans. KSHEP aims to serve as the nucleus for academic activities in the fields of particle physics, astrophysics, and nuclear physics. With a vision to become a pivotal force in shaping the future landscape of basic science in Korea, KSHEP is dedicated to contributing significantly to the establishment of the National Institute of High Energy Physics.
In their pursuit of excellence, they are breaking down barriers between different research domains. They seeks to present a unified voice internationally, fostering collaboration and mutual respect among researchers in nuclear, particle, and astrophysical sciences. As they eneter a new chapter in with the formal establishment of the Korean Socienty for High Energy Physics, they extend a warm invitation to existing members of the High Energy Physics Council and welcome new, aspiring researchers.
KSHEP is committed to brining together scientists in all high-energy physics fields above MeV, creating a diverse and inclusive community of scholars. KSHEP is not merely an operational entity but a visionary force. They are dedicated to collaboratively shaping the significant milestones for the next decade, setting realistic annual goals, and serving as a practical gateway for external activities.
To effectively store and process this immense volume of data, the ALICE Grid and computing centers have undergone significant capacity expansions and are now powered by the jAliEn middleware and a suite of enhanced local services. It has also had a profound impact on data storage interactions and the critical role played by both local and wide-area networks. To address these evolving operational challenges and continue enabling the scientific research, the workshop will focus on the status and future plans for the ALICE Grid, middleware, storage, and networking infrastructure.
