During the second long technical break of the LHC (LS2) to take place from 2018 to 2020, LHCb will undergo major upgrades. These upgrades concern not only the actual detector, but also the computing model driving the physics analysis.
The main incentive and...

Students in high school or undergraduate stage make critical decisions regarding what to study and which career path to pursue. For various reasons, many of them end up switching to other majors. This may potentially cause mismatch between personality, interest and abilities of the students and characteristics of majors. Such changes are wasteful in time and resources and they produce...

Linux excels as the dominant platform particularly in High Performance Computing, as well as as a general server operating system in less HPC-centered environments. Both on the server- and the desktop side, a huge variety of programs is available, readily delivered in pre-compiled form through Linux distributions. Very rarely will typical users have to compile source code themselves....

The Dutch National e-Infrastructure (DNI) was reorganised in 2013. The SURF foundation was charged to build upon and in some cases replace the e-Infrastructure built during the 5-year "BiG Grid” project. This reorganisation turned the DNI into a sustainable resource supported by earmarked funds from the Dutch government.
Since then, there has been much progress and activity towards...
