Dear All,
It has been agreed by the LCG Project Leader (Les Robertson) and
PPARC e-Science Director (Neil Geddes) that we develop a GridPP LTA
programme at CERN (funded by the CERN component of GridPP).
This is in recognition of the significant potential for direct UK
input to the LCG project and the problems of funding Long Term Attachment
(LTA) at CERN in other ways.
This will enable Grid developments in the UK to be (more) fully
integrated with long-term Grid development plans at CERN.
The proposed mechanism is:
1. submit a short one-page outline of current and proposed work, noting
how this work can best be developed within a named team at CERN, by
e-mail to the GridPP Project Leader (Tony Doyle) and GridPP CERN Liaison
(Tony Cass).
2. This case will be discussed at the following weekly GridPP PMB meeting
and outcomes will be communicated as soon as possible by e-mail following
that meeting.
Notes
-----
1. The minimum period for LTA is 3 months. It is expected that a work
programme will be typically for 6 months (or more).
2. Prior DataGrid and LHC (or other) experiments' Grid work are normally
expected.
3. It is worthwhile reading
http://cern.ch/lcg/peb/applications
in order to get an idea of the areas covered, and the emphasis placed,
by the LCG project on specific areas (building upon DataGrid and LHC
experiments' developments).
4. Please send all enquiries and proposals to:
Tony Doyle <[log in to unmask]> and
Tony CASS <[log in to unmask]>
Cheers, Tony
