Message-Id: <E935I0.EM@nntp-hep.fzu.cz>

The CERN School of Computing addresses topics of importance for the
future
computing environment for particle physics in the next millenium.  The
themes are chosen to reflect the exciting developments taking place in
computing today.  Each theme is presented by speakers with an
international
reputation for research in the relevant area and is supplemented by
computer-based exercises to underline the importance of a "hands-on"
approach to computing. The WorldWideWeb was pioneered by CERN and the
continued exploitation of such technologies has been a feature of the
Schools.  Workstations with Internet access are provided for use by
School
students in the tutorial classes, along with lecture notes and problem
sheets.

The 1997 CERN School of Computing is based on the presentation of
approximately 40 lectures and on related practical work on PCs or
workstations. The programme of the School is organised around four
themes:

Information Systems
Real-Time Instrumentation
Software Production
Visualisation.

Each theme is structured so that the lectures in the first  week are
more
general in their coverage with the second week's lectures more
specialised
towards computing problems relevant to  particle physics and the LHC
programme.

The School is open to postgraduate students and research workers with a
few
years' experience in elementary particle physics, in computing or in
related
fields.  The number of participants will be of the order of 80, mostly
from
the CERN Member States or from laboratories closely associated with
CERN,
but a few may come from countries which are not Member States of CERN.

The 1997 CERN School of Computing is organised by CERN (European
Laboratory
for Particle Physics), in collaboration with the Academy of Sciences of
the
Czech Republic, Prague and the Charles University, Prague and will be
held
at the Hotel Floret Conference Centre in Pruhonice (Prague), Czech
Republic,
from Sunday 17 August to Saturday 30 August 1997.
