The LHC will generate unprecedented volumes of data, hence meeting the LHC computing needs will require innovative approaches that involve linking storage and computing resources that are distributed worldwide. The success of this strategy will depend on advancing the state of the art in a number of technologies, primarily in the software realm. This paper deals entirely with the LHC off-line computing needs, from raw data to the physics plots (calibration, reconstruction, simulation, analysis).
