LCG-1 Functionality and Services

Mandate:

Select and recommend the grid middleware components to be deployed in LCG-1, with implementation schedules coordinated with the requirements of the experiments and with LCG-1 milestones. The requirements of the experiments, in terms of functionality needed for specific data challenges, will be based on a prioritized list of use-cases from the HEPCAL document. An advisory group representing the experiments will advise on the schedules for delivering the required functionality.

Specifically:

  • Recommend the minimum functionality required for LCG-1 and identify the middleware components required, define associated software delivery requirements for the projects providing the components
  • Define a process by which requirements, priorities, and schedules for subsequent additional functionality are determined
  • Suggest a middleware development and maintenance strategy.Recommend at which level LCG should assume maintenance and/or development responsibilities for middleware and associated scripts and tools
  • Define metrics and performance targets according to those metrics to be achieved by LCG-1, and recommend a process by which the experiments accept the performance

Members: John Renner-Hansen (chair), David Foster (tech. assistant), Eric van Herwijnen, Laura Perini, Tony Wildish, Yves Schutz, Simon Lin, Oxana Smirnova, Flavia Donno
