About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The editors of this book have brought together chapters written by many well-known people in the field of computing in high-energy physics. … It is a highly interesting book, and I plan to read many of the chapters again.” (Peter Clarke, CERN Courier, April, 2014)
“This book is a review of developments over the past 30 years, showing how many mainstream concepts and technologies were originally used by physicists. … The book’s 11 chapters cover a broad range of topics. … This is an interesting book from a computer historian perspective, offering a number of lesser-known details on the early years of scientific computing and networking.” (Alessandro Berni, ACM Computing Reviews, March, 2013)
