Presentation Transcript

  1. WLCG Collaboration Workshop7 – 9 July, Imperial College, London In Collaboration With GridPP Workshop Outline, Registration, Accommodation, Social Events etc.

  2. Outline • Workshop agenda (under WLCG in Indico) • Wednesday: Service Issues; Storage; On-going Activities • e.g. virtualization, clouds, multi-core • Thursday: Experiment “Jamborees” • Friday: Summaries from Jamborees, Key Issues & Outlook • Still time to re-arrange agenda, e.g. in light of June DAam Jamboree • This agenda seemed to make sense when first draft (Feb) but things naturally evolve… • More details on agenda later…

  3. Registration & Payment, Hotels • There is a fee of £80 that covers: • Coffee breaks; Drinks Reception on first evening • Generous contribution from GridPP! • Fee does not cover dinners – e.g. proposed experiment dinners on Thursday evening following Jamborees, nor lunch breaks • Links on agenda page to student accommodation & hotels + maps, etc. • Advice: BOOK EARLY! • This helps you and also organizers!

  4. Jamborees – Thursday • Two hour slots (LHCb@09:00, CMS@11:00, ATLAS@14:00, ALICE#16:00) with lunch@13:00 • This allows sites to attend all relevant jamborees • Management permissions have been given to named people from the experiments (since Feb) to arrange agendas for their sessions • If you want additional or different names please let me know • Also assumed that there will be social dinners – again organized by the experiments – on Thursday evening (see registration form) • Friday morning: summaries of key issues by experiment • This implies at least one person – preferably more – who will note the key issues and report on them

  5. Wednesday – Service Session • WLCG Service from the point of view of Tier2s, Tier1s and Experiments • Would be “natural” for the “host” sites, i.e. IC and RAL (GridPP) to coordinate these • Should – as with experiment summary – be as inclusive and representative of key service issues as seen by the site(s) / experiments • Tier2s in particular tend to be under-represented at GDB / MB style events: their input is essential!

  6. Wednesday – Topical Issues • Service Interventions: Experience with “Change Assessments” • Came out of January GDB discussion • Data Access Working Group: Progress and Issues • Relevance following DAaM Jamboree? Move? Refocus? • End User Analysis Support: Status & Issues • Same comment…

  7. Wednesday – Storage Session • Prompted by issues at a number of Tier1 sites with their storage services & discussions at February LHCC referees meeting • Case studies: CNAF & PIC • Panel discussion: strategies for Tier1 (and other?) storage • Again, should probably be reviewed in the light of DAaM Jam in Am(ster)dam

  8. Wednesday – Ongoing Activities Exposure of work on: • Clouds, Virtualisation, Multi-core: presentations on on-going / planned activities • Panel discussion: WLCG directions • All TBD

  9. Friday – Wrap-up & Segue into CB • Key Issues from Jamborees • Dealing with prolonged Site Downtimes • Raised at WLCG Tier1 Service Coordination meeting • Workshop Summary and Outlook • Workshop ends at Lunchtime and is followed by a (closed) Collaboration Board meeting

  10. Where Next? • We have held WLCG Collaboration workshops typically once per year, complemented by more topical events, e.g. STEP’09 post-mortem etc. • An event towards end-2010 to review 2010 data taking, processing and analysis? • Not at CHEP, nor at the first EGI Technical Forum… • A Collaboration workshop mid-2011? • Would be nice to have a queue of volunteer sites… • Need a room that can cater for 150 – 250 people, plus usual infrastructure • 2012: prior to CHEP in New York?

  11. Summary • July workshop: Wednesday morning to Friday lunchtime • Please register early! • Announcement will be sent this morning to wlcg-service-coordination@cern.ch: feel free to forward as widely as possible! • Good attendance from experiments and sites and active discussion / networking encouraged • Thanks to Imperial College and GridPP!
