  55 In order to perform physics analysis in ALICE, a physicist has to use the GRID infrastructure since the data will be distributed in many sites. The machinery though complex due to the nature of the GRID, is totally transparent to the user who is shielded by a friendly user interface. In order to provide some guidelines to successfully utilize the provided functionalities, it was felt that an up-to-date manual was needed. With this document we try to explain the analysis framework as of today by covering all the recent developments.
  56
  57 After a short introduction, the general flow of a GRID based analysis will be outlined. The different steps of how to get your analysis ready and running on the GRID using the newly developed analysis framework will be covered in the subsequent chapters.
