WPI / N: What remains to be done Uli Katz ECAP / Univ. Erlangen WPD+I+N Report, Catania,

U. Katz: WPI+N Report, Catania, Feb WPI: Data and control Major objectives: create the framework for the handling of the neutrino telescope data production of computing and storage models set up a ready-to-implement solution for the neutrino telescope operation system Deliverables: D.I.1 Report on requirements and specifications of data distribution and computing models: 43 FTEMs, due month 12. D.I.2 Report on solution for KM3NeT data distribution, computing and operation: 43 FTEMs, due month 32. Partners: U-Erlangen, INFN, CNRS, NOA-NESTOR, DIAS, FOM, UPVL

U. Katz: WPI+N Report, Catania, Feb WPI: Data and control - Status Report on requirements and specifications of data distribution and computing models A lot has been done in the context of the work for WPD and WPF/L Things need to be put together, some gaps remain to be filled Report on solution for KM3NeT data distribution, computing and operation Data distribution deep sea  shore  filter/trigger and filter output well understood and defined; computing resources for filter estimated. Data distribution to users/labs/GRID/computing centers and computing models and resources for reconstruction, simulation, analysis need to be studied in more detail Operation model: Needs to be written down, details to be decided

U. Katz: WPI+N Report, Catania, Feb WPN: User support and impact assessment Major objectives: Investigation of needs and requests of the user communities (in and beyond KM3NeT) concerning data dissemination, data formats, computing support and infrastructure operation. Assessment of the impact of the KM3NeT research infrastructure and the related facilities on the European Research Area (ERA). Deliverables: D.N.1 Report on user needs and requests:25 FTEMs, due month 10. D.N.2 Report on operation model and draft operation rules: 26 FTEMs, due month 20. D.N.3 Report on impact assessment activities:33 FTEMs, due month 35. Partners: U-Erlangen, INFN, CEA, CNRS, NCSR-D, NOA-NESTOR, DIAS, FOM, CSIC, UVEG, UNIABDN, U-Leeds, U-Liverpool, U-Sheffield

U. Katz: WPI+N Report, Catania, Feb WPN: User support and impact assessment - Status Report on user needs and requests “User Workshop” at VLVnT11 Very detailed and specific objectives formulated in HEAP-MM proposal Report on operation model and draft operation rules Basic issue: KM3NeT will be an observatory as opposed to an experiment May touch issues regulated in MoU Depends on one vs. multi-site decision Report on impact assessment activities To answer the question “how useful was the Preparatory Phase program for the external recognition of the project?”

U. Katz: WPI+N Report, Catania, Feb WPI / N – What remains to be done Drafts of deliverables distrbuted The WP coordinator takes care Filling some gaps will be required Many (all!) of you will be asked to comment/contribute Time scale: next weeks (drafts should go out until mid-April) Deliverables ready before summer
