Terry Wyatt, University of Manchester, UK 7 Ideas to reduce needed effort and increase availability Experiment Operations:Experiment Operations: –More automation (control room and offline DQ) –Merge shifts –Professional shift crew –Continuity of experts for critical systems Computing OperationsComputing Operations –Increase (SAM-)Grid development and support for deployment –Common support of commonly used infrastructure by computing professionals a good strategy, but not always appropriatea good strategy, but not always appropriate –loss of experiment-specific personnel has hurt experiments –CD support for experiment-specific applications needed also General:General: –Increased visitor budget for all levels (students -> professors)for all levels (students -> professors)
