  2. Pros • Would value a lot of manpower investment (design, experience, expertise) by increasing the user base • Open-source: • HEP/basic research contribution to the public domain we benefit so much (linux) • May get contribution from non-HEP • Bring visibility to our field • Incentive for more universal package that may become rewarding even for our applications • Get inputs/ideas from non-HEP useful for HEP. • ….

  3. Cons • More man power to support non-HEP users, more detailed documentation, tutorials, workshops, … • Being more universal the package becomes more complex: to develop and to maintain

  4. Examples: • Geant 4 for bio-medical applications • CCIN2P3 (Lyon Tiers 1) dedicates ~ 8-10% of the CPU power for Biology • Get mathematician support for loop integration Parint…

  5. Collaboration with Industry • Very different • Intellectual property • More constrains, different goals: • Profitability • Decision making may be biased by commercial goals • But this collaboration is also definitely needed • Hardware • Professional software development and large manpower

  6. Proposal • Create a database `a la Sourceforge` of potential package for cross-discipline usage • Minuit, Root, Geant4\V, MVA, Integration (Vegas, CUBA, parint,…) • Dedicate a special session in ACAT 2016 on this topic
