Workshop focussing on service needs for initial data taking: commissioning, calibration and alignment, early physics.
Target audience: all active sites plus experiments
We start with a detailed update on the schedule and operation of the accelerator for 2007/2008, followed by similar sessions from each experiment.
The main thrust of this workshop will be to understand the status of the WLCG Services with respect to the 2007 / 2008 requirements, in particular the 'residual services' discussed at the January 2007 workshop.
We also review the status / plans of the Dress Rehearsals and initial running.
BOF sessions are foreseen in the following areas:
The capacities of the rooms are as follows:
Experiences from sites/experiments operating the FTS servers
Deployment of 'residual' (data management) services:
Where are we with respect to the plan established in July?
Update on the schedule, status of testing, plans for immediate future, milestones etc.
Other topics:
Experience with site setup and configuration according to LHC experiments' requirements. Experience from early adopters / beta-testers from SRM v2.2 and related deployment.
This session will discuss the requirements and schedule for such an exercise.
