Working groups and taskforces

Note: This page has grown too much, it will be re-organised [tbd]

This page collects information on working groups and taskforces, which do not (yet) have their own portal page on the atlas-computing pages. Only the presently active taskforces are listed. The informations listed are e.g. meetings, which are accessible from the CDS Agenda system, and URLs for web or Twiki pages.

For recent reports see ATLAS s/w workshops, Trigger & Physics Weeks ATLAS Overview weeks and minutes of the Physics coordination meeting.
