Description
The National Science Foundation has recommended funding an initiative to conceptualize a “Scientific Software Innovation Institute” where U.S. university-based researchers can play an important role in key software infrastructure efforts that will complement those led by U.S. national laboratory-based researchers and international collaborators. The first major product of the project will be a roadmap document in the form of a Community White Paper (CWP) which aims to broadly identify the key issues of computing infrastructure and software R&D required to enable realization of the scientific potential of the large investment in upgraded detectors for the HL-LHC. In addition to the CWP, a Strategic Planning document will be produced which will form the basis for a proposal for implementation of the Institute. In this session, we seek to inform about this initiative and solicit feedback from the ATLAS Collaboration and others in attendance.
