DESY User Interest Group Formed

In August '93, the ``DESY User Interest Group'' [DESY++] has been formed as a group of physicists and computer scientists working with at DESY. The group uses the local newsgroup desy.c++ ( DESY.CPP on VAX) for announcements and discussion.

The agenda of this interest group includes:

• Compiler questions: problems in porting/understanding/performance between the various compilers at DESY.
• and OOP applications at DESY: at the outset, group members have posted descriptions of their work and background. A concise overview on research activities employing has been written up.
• Book reviews and articles.
• Programming/learning : no question is too small for this group. Information on courses in the Hamburg area (such as J. Milewski's upcoming course for Hamburg University), and suitable tutorial material.
• Lectures/Talks: as a first instance, the video lectures for the GISMO toolkit for Monte Carlo analysis and simulation will be shown at DESY in October.
• Informal meetings: these shall take place irregularly and on demand only. Minutes of the first meeting can be retrieved from /ftp.desy.de in file /pub/c++/news/930902.txt.

DESY is also hosting a wealth of documents on and especially HEP applications of , which are accessible via the World Wide Web. If you have further questions or suggestions, please contact Marcus Speh <marcus@x4u.desy.de>.
