In modern times many large projects, sooner or later, have to face the problem of how to store, manage and access huge volumes of semi-structured and loosely connected data, namely project metadata -- information, required for monitoring and management of the project itself and its internal processes.
The structure of the metadata evolves all the time to meet the needs of the monitoring tasks...

In this paper we present the current state of developments of the Geometry DB (Geometry Database) for the CBM experiment [1]. At the current moment, the CBM collaboration moves from the stage of prototypes research and tests to the detectors and their components production. A high level control for the manufacturing process is required because of the complexity and high price of the detector...

The partial wave analysis at the BES-III experiment is being done event-by-event using the maximum likelihood estimation, with the typical statistics of the order of 10 billion J/ψ events per year, resulting in huge computation times. On the other hand, the event-by-event analysis can be naturally parallelized.
We developed the parallel cross-platform software architecture that can run...

Large Scale Science projects normally require massive facilities that are funded through multi-national agreements. The computational requirements for these projects are complex, as the computing technologies have to meet multiple user requirements, and in a scale not yet realised by the current technology trends. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA), CERN etc.. are some examples of the projects,...

It is reported on the study of radiation resistance of silicon photomultipliers (sipm) produced by HAMAMATSU. SiPM was irradiated in neutron fluxes of the reactor IBR-2 of JINR. The tested SiPM received fluence from 10^12 up to 2x10^14 of neutrons /cm2. Irradiated detectors investigated using a radioactive source and laser flashes at a temperature of -30C. The measurements showed that the...
