Second Workshop on Data Preservation and Long Term Analysis in HEP
1st Bulletin: 26 March 2009
The Second Workshop on Data Preservation and Long Term Analysis in HEP
will take place from Tuesday 26 - Thursday 28 May 2009 in California, UDA
at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC).
The workshop will consist of three days of plenary talks, where the
main objectives are: to review the physics objectives of data
persistency in HEP; to exchange information on the analysis model
used by HEP experiments; to address the hardware and software
persistency issue; to review the funding programs and other existing
international initiatives; and to converge to a common set of
recommendations for future experiments.

places), situated in the nearby Albert-Einstein-Ring, using the
reservation code "DPLTA" until 8 January 2009.
From Hamburg Airport, take the S1 s-bahn to Othmarschen and from there
the number 1 bus to "Bahrenfeld Trabrennbahn" for the Novotel (3 stops)
or "Zum Huenengrab / DESY" for DESY (5 stops). The journey time from the
airport is about 1 hour and the ticket costs 2.60 euro. Alternatively, a taxi costs
about 30 euro and takes 25 minutes. A map of the area around DESY is here:
