Abstract

This white paper presents the current status of the R&D for Analysis Facilities (AFs) and attempts to summarize the views on the future direction of these facilities. These views have been collected through the High Energy Physics (HEP) Software Foundation’s (HSF) Analysis Facilities forum (HSF Analysis Facilities Forum), established in March 2022, the Analysis Ecosystems II workshop (Analysis Ecosystems Workshop II), that took place in May 2022, and the WLCG/HSF pre-CHEP workshop (WLCG–HSF pre-CHEP Workshop), that took place in May 2023. The paper attempts to cover all the aspects of an analysis facility.
