Current status(from monitoring)
6
Academic Computer Centers

• Support for LHC computing
• Supply network connectivity.
• Supply centralized CPU.
• Support of qualified manpower.
• Maybe it would be easier to get financial support
  for computer centers working for the whole
  academic society, not only for HEP...

7
Computing for LHC(ATLASCMSALICELHCb)

• Polish LHC groups are willing to collaborate
• Hardware (PC farm?) and analysis methods need to
  be defined

8
Manpower in Krakow

• 20-40 physicists interested in analysis.
• Few people available now to work on computing
  projects.
• Possible support from Computer Science Dept. of
  the University.
• Support from regional computer center.
