Location: CERN

- 08:30 → 08:40
  
  Architecture of the Tier-2s within NDGF 10m
  
  (how do they appear to the rest of the world? as single sites with a CE and SE?)
- 08:40 → 09:10
  Storage element 30m
  - Status of the virtual Storage Element that presents NDGF as a single site for storage management and data access
  - Analysis of the internal data rates within the NDGF Tier-1
    
    (some concern that these may be higher than currently assumed)
  - Operation of the File Transfer Service for communication with other Tier-1s (ATLAS) and other Tier-2s (potentially for ATLAS, definitely for CMS if NDGF is a CMS Tier-1)
  - Implementation of the ATLAS data placement model
    
    (RAW data and all its derivatives at the same site)
  - Implementation of the base SRM functionality (SRM v 2.2) and storage classes
  - Provision of a catalog equivalent to LFC for ATLAS
- 09:10 → 09:20
  
  Progress and plans for the distributed database service for ATLAS in NDGF 10m
  
  (3D project)
- 09:20 → 09:30
  
  Provision of site availability metrics 10m
- 09:30 → 09:40
  
  Model for NDGF daily operation and integration with the LCG/EGEE grid operations services 10m
- 09:40 → 09:50
  Accounting plans 10m
  
  see accounting presentations at the GDB (06dec06, 09jan07) and the discussions and decisions at the MB (19dec06, 08jan07)
  - Integration of cpu accounting with the APEL repository at the GOC
  - User-level accounting
  - Storage accounting
- 09:50 → 10:00
  
  Implementation of scheduling priorities based on VOMS groups and roles 10m
- 10:00 → 10:10
  
  Installation schedule for 2007 10m
- 10:10 → 10:40
  
  Status and plans for testing the distributed Tier-1 functionality and integrating into the ATLAS and ALICE services 30m
- 10:40 → 10:50
  Organisational and management issues 10m
  - Is it clear now how CMS fits in to NDGF, organisationally and technically?
  - Formal resource commitments for the Nordic countries and signing the MoU
  - NDGF representation in the WLCG Overview Board, and Computing Resource Review Board
  - Does NDGF feel adequately represented in the various WLCG boards, committees and meetings, and does it feel that it is well enough informed about the activity of the project?
- 10:50 → 11:00
  
  Conclusion and next steps 10m
