LCG Physics Applications Software Architecture

LCG Architecture Blueprint

The architecture of LCG Applications Area software is laid out in the architecture blueprint developed by an RTAG in Jun-Oct 2002.

A special meeting of the architects forum July 10, 2003 carried forward some analysis tools issues addressed in the blueprint: the integration of ROOT as an analysis tool in the LCG software environment, and the role of AIDA.
