The next big LHC upgrade? Software.

Symmetry magazine ran a nice article on the DIANA/HEP project.

“The software we used to build the LHC and perform our analyses is 20 years old,” says Peter Elmer, a physicist at Princeton University. “Technology evolves, so we have to ask, does our software still make sense today? Will it still do what we need 20 or 30 years from now?”
