Description

This is the first of a series of meetings between representatives of NCSA and CC-IN2P3, the two centers which are preparing the distributed platform for processing LSST's data.

The goal of this meeting is manyfold:

  • for the LSST team members of both NCSA and CC-IN2P3 to get to know each other
  • to identify areas of operational concern common to both sites
  • to identify areas of future LSST technical collaboration
  • to build a broader institutional partnership between NCSA and CC-IN2P3

The agenda below is intended as a guide of the topics we would like to discuss, rather than a strict timetable. We consider very important to take the time necessary to discuss any subject considered relevant, beyond the time allocation initially foreseen in this agenda.

NCSA representatives:

  • Athol Kemball, Lead: Astronomy & Physics at NCSA;  Astronomy Faculty UIUC
  • Don Petravick: Project Manager, LSST NCSA
  • Margaret Gelman: Deputy Project Manager, LSST NCSA
  • Robert Gruendl:  Research Scientist DES/LSST, NCSA, Adjunct Faculty Astronomy UIUC
