Final report (CERN-LCG-2002-023) |
|
Material circulated in the RTAG7: please protect it via the usual SC2 password (ask Lucia Silvestris) |
|
Chair: Lucia Silvestris
Mandate:
|
Write the product specification for detector geometry and materials description services. |
|
Specify scope: e.g. Services to define, provide transient access to, and store the geometry and materials descriptions required by simulation, reconstruction, analysis, online and event display applications, with the various descriptions using the same information source |
|
Identify requirements including end-user needs such as ease and naturalness of use of the description tools, readability and robustness against errors e.g. provision for named constants and derived quantities |
|
Explore commonality of persistence requirements with conditions data management |
| Interaction of the DD with a conditions DB. In that context versioning and ‘configuration management’ of the detector description, coherence issues. |
| Identify where experiments have differing requirements and examine how to address them within common tools |
| Address migration from current tools |
SC2-mandated schedule: Initial report July 5, Final report Aug 2
Makeup: Experiment representatives, CERN IT/API, Experts, additional members at chair's discretion
Members and experts:
Lucia Silvestris (chair), Andrei Gheata (Alice), Steve Golfdfarb (Atlas), Martin Liendl (CMS), Sebastien Ponce (LHCb), Radovan Chytracek (IT/API), Joe Boudreau (expert), Torre Wenaus (Ex-officio)
Guidance: The result of the RTAG should be the detailed description of use cases that could be implemented within the framework of the four experiments
