h1. ACAT 2008 highlights "Are we ready for LHC data"
ACAT = Advanced Computing and Analysis Techniques in (High-Energy) Physics Research
Originated as "Artificial Intelligence is High Energy Nuclear Physics. The AIHEP92 conference was the first time WWW was presented outside of CERN (World Wide Web - An information infrastructure for High-Energy physics).
h2. Highlights
* Location was spectacular (Erice, Sicily)
