In this chapter, we have outlined the unique characteristics of HEP applications,
highlighted many of the technical and developmental challenges posed to the
designers of signal processing systems, and described techniques and strategies
that can help meet these challenges. The design of the Large Hadron Collider has
already pushed today's engineering capabilities to their limit, and historical trends
have shown that the amount of data collected by HEP experiments is increasing at
an exponential rate. Advancements to the triggering systems that handle this data
will be vital to the creation of the next generation of particle accelerators. The
development of novel tools, techniques, and architectures for these signal processing
systems will play a crucial role through the completion of the Super Large Hadron
Collider and beyond.
