Distributed Computing Concepts in D0

Abstract

The D0 experiment faces many challenges enabling access to large datasets for physicists on four continents. The new concepts for distributed large scale computing implemented in D0 aim for an optimal use of the available computing resources while minimising the person-power needed for operation. The real live test of these concepts is of special interest for the LHC Computing GRID, LCG, which follows a similar strategy.
