We now have the overall plans of the experiments for SC4. There is a need for more information to enable regional centres to plan the availability of resources and the appropriate support staff. It was agreed last year that this should be done through the weekly service coordination meeting. This item is intended to allow us to discuss and if appropriate agree on the level of detail and the accuracy of the timing required for each site.
Speaker:
Introduction - Gonzalo Merino, Harry Renshall

Scheduling of Resources at CERN
The aim is to come to an agreement on the schedule for use of the CERN resources, taking account of specific experiment needs and general throughput tests. We should decide on the response to the request from ATLAS for time to test their online farm.
