The Communities identified as Heavy Users Communities (HUCs) are
- High Energy Physics (HEP)
- Life Sciences (LS)
- Astronomy and Astrophysics (AA)
- Computational Chemistry and Material Sciences (CCMT)
- Earth Sciences (ES)
The tasks currently foreseen in the SA draft are as follows (all prefixed by TSA4., e.g. TSA4.1 for management):
- Management
- Hosting of Community Specific Services
- Hosting of VO Specific Services
- Support of Frameworks
- Support of Scientific Gateways
- Support for interoperability within SA4 services
- Support for transition to SA4 services
The WLCG activities & effort (total) foreseen are:
- operations & user support liaison - 1 (TSA4.1? TSA4.7?)
- middleware liaison - 1 (TSA4.6?) Front-line m/w (service) support & m/w maintenance and development also required.
- services for heavy users i.e. FTS - 6 (TSA4.2?)
- additional VO-specific services - 10 (TSA4.3?)
- Dashboard, Ganga, Diane, AMGA - 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 (TSA4.4?) Not just for "heavy" users - should this move to the SSC? (Or separate specific / generic requirements?)
We should check for overlap between these and other "tasks" proposed by other communities and match them to the proposed task list - is it complete?
