9. SWIM Meeting, Tech-X, October 2010 Presentation to Community, Feb 7-11 ●Working out what we want out of this ●Informative of decisions to date ●Notification of openings for IA heads and teams ●What else?

10. SWIM Meeting, Tech-X, October 2010 Integrated application team heads/teams selected in March/April ●Proposals to FSP Definition Team ●Evaluation based on  Credibility to deliver on Science Driver  Team making use of those in community

11. SWIM Meeting, Tech-X, October 2010 Must be a balance between early deliverables and common infrastructure ●Further development of common infrastructure goes under DD for Architecture (examples: monitoring, tools) ●IA teams should bring to the party whatever they need for early deliverables ●As FSP proceeds, Integration should be pulling out commonly useful software from ISAs and providing it in generally useful form

12. SWIM Meeting, Tech-X, October 2010 How will Software Integration work with other teams? ●Short term success will be made by modifying existing community software to address science drivers. This is likely to be less invasive on legacy software and more one-offs. ●Software integration liaisons will study the efforts, extract common tools, and make them more broadly applicable and available ●Software Integration will also be identifying and developing tools for tighter couplings, such as common data structures ●All of this will be maintained for public download

13. SWIM Meeting, Tech-X, October 2010 Development of robust, integrated apps on long term will require continuous interaction Software Integration Integ Science Apps Software and tools Workflow tools On-HPC integration Integration ideas flow from integrated apps to the Integration team Integration team creates robust, reusable integration software Advanced components

15. SWIM Meeting, Tech-X, October 2010 Charge 1)FSP Science Goals -- Regarding the current set of science drivers and associated science program plans, please comment on the current vision and plans for: a)development of the integrated software products that flow from the science goals in the nearer-term (<5 years) and the longer term time frames (5-15 years); In the first five years, integrated software products will come from stripped, augmented, and reorg'd protoFSPs. After first release of tight-integration products, new integrated applications will come from refactoring to make use of common infrastructure b)prioritizing and scheduling the program elements identified in the individual science program plans; and c)the cross-disciplinary engagement of communities representing FES theory/computations & experiments and ASCR computer science and applied math. New integration products will make heavy use of AppMath libs and development will be with joint teams involving ASCR personnel.
