CERN, June 18 - 22, 2001
The GEANT4 Collaboration Board is organizing a review of GEANT4 at CERN in June of this year. A panel dominated by experts who are not part of the GEANT4 Collaboration has been asked to review the software, the physics, and also the software process and management structures.
The GEANT4 collaboration encourages members of the high-energy and nuclear physics communities, and all other communities interested in GEANT4, to provide input to the review committee. Input may be provided by contacting the Review Chairperson, or by contacting any member of the Review Panel.
It is expected that many of the presentations to the Review Panel will be open to all. These presentations will also be broadcast on VRVS.
