✦ Synopsis

Even if it was not either conscious or deliberate, physicists at the Asilomar Conference on Computing in High Energy Physics, probably for the first time, focussed a conference on the multitude of problems associated with the new scale of complexity in high energy physics experiments. This summary of the conference emphasizes issues of managing this complexity with new computer techniques. It also points to the emerging relevance of Artificial Intelligence subjects to particle physics.
