Workshop on Machine availability and dependability for post LS1 LHC

Following the initial work of the RSWG (reliability Sub Working Group) before LHC startup, many equipment teams are now revisiting their dependability calculations in light of the operational experience of the past 4 years and future upgrades and improvements of the systems. The main goal of this (CERN internal) workshop is to provide a forum for exchange and advertisement of the ongoing work as well as to discuss and guarantee the coherence of ongoing and future efforts. With the focus of LHC exploitation increasingly shifting towards machine availability, an attempt to quantify the impact of ongoing improvements and their effect on integrated luminosity in the post LS1 and HL-LHC era will be made. In addition the status and future needs for tools and methodologies to reliably track and quantify the dependability of equipment systems will be addressed.
