17 02/11/2006LSA Developments – CO TC – Grzegorz Kruk Work for the coming year Settings management & trim Continue work on expert & critical settings Actual settings (LHC) (prototyping done) Not multiplexed settings (e.g. thresholds) Plus: Additional information for parameters: unit, limits (min/max), precision (rounding) Custom (enumerated) types for discrete settings Setting archives (it seems they will be useful)

18 02/11/2006LSA Developments – CO TC – Grzegorz Kruk Work for the coming year cd.. Review core applications (Settings generation, Trim Editor, Settings Manager, …) Solve performance issues More user friendly Many extensions necessary for LHC Integration with RBAC Applications need to be adapted Authorization in LSA core if necessary Scalability test (driving 1700 PCs) How it behaves?

19 02/11/2006LSA Developments – CO TC – Grzegorz Kruk Work for the coming year cd.. Prepare and maintain API for LHC Sequencer & other clients Timing and synchronization Generation of timing tables, events, … Monitoring of LSA parameters & other information stored in the LSA DB (e.g. accelerator mode) For applications (using JAPC) - support for GET already in place On the Front End (if necessary) Hardware Commissioning support Track subsystems commissioned

32 02/11/2006LSA Developments – CO TC – Grzegorz Kruk Issues Some work can and will be passed to international collaborators, but Need to have local first-line support Medium term maintenance of these applications must be defined Technical guidance & support for non AP developers (local & external) is essential so that their products can be maintained afterwards It requires considerable amount of time and the number of temporary resource will grow The supervision effort is not compatible with the workload of the technical people in the LSA core team

33 02/11/2006LSA Developments – CO TC – Grzegorz Kruk Conclusions A lot of work has been done Architecture is stable Validated in SPS, LEIR, transfer lines, HWC Still lots of work to be done The work can be staged over the next 2 years The available human resources are mainly temporary or part time The technical guidance issue should be somehow addressed
