CERN
* Currently working on Content Delivery (xCache) and File orchestration and staging matters (Rucio)
CNRS-LAPP
CSIC
* We are attending the tech meetings, involving other members of our group (scientists, postdocs) in order to know how to include this technology in our uses cases.
* We are also implementing VO services for accessing the data that is involved in our use cases.
* Also we are studying tools like Rucio, in particular the metadata to see how it can interact with the VO standards.
CTAO
FAIR
EGO
FAU
Mostly WP4 (data provenance meeting between CTA & KM3NeT) and WP3 efforts
relevant for WP5 (from WP 3):
* focus groups established on different issues (software collection, Corsika development, innovative workflows, distributed computing)
* development of software requirement form, soon to be available
* call on distributed computing: is that included in WP5 (FairROOT and Dirac introduction planned as call)
INAF
IFAE
JIVE
* Hire of new engineer for WP4 was blocked by immigration services. The work for WP4 will now be done internally, which means that effort for WP3 and WP5 will be smaller during the next year.
* Three of the persons involved in Escape at JIVE are currently travelling, as a result less work has been done the last period
* Analysis of the current and future functionality of the EVN archive at JIVE is somewhat delayed, but ongoing
* Investigation into suitability of CWL ongoing
* Enabling user feedback to archive partly done
* Re-running pipelines using Jupyter making good progress
* In WP3, but directly relevant for WP5 work as well: pipeline requirement analysis document nearly finished
