The Greek ALICE ProjectThe Greek ALICE Project

AliRoot the ALICE Off-line framework for simulation, reconstruction and analysis. It uses the ROOT system as a foundation on which the framework and all applications are built.Large existing libraries, i.e. GEANT3.21, Jetset and some remaining legacy code, is framework is based on the Object Oriented programming paradigm, and it is written in C++.
