1. HEP Applications within EGEE - an overview and relations with GAG F Harris (Oxford/CERN) EGEE is proposed as a project funded by the European Union under contract IST-2003-508833

2. F Harris GAG 16 Mar 2004 2 Talk overview Overview of NA4 Structure of NA4 Current overall organisation The ‘deliverables’ and relation to GAG HEP applications within NA4 Proposed HEP working group Future HEP organisation (meetings etc.)

3. F Harris GAG 16 Mar 2004 3 NA4 structure within EGEE (note liason with NA3 for training)

4. F Harris GAG 16 Mar 2004 4 NA4 steering committee(extended) Overall Coordination: Vincent Breton (CNRS) (1/03/04) Francois Etienne(CNRS) (deputy) HEP : Frank Harris (Oxford/CERN) Bio: XXX (CNRS) Generic: Roberto Barbera(INFN) Test Team: René Metery (CSSI) Industry Forum: Christian Saguez (Ecole Centrale) NA3 Liaison: John Murison (U. of Edinburgh) Alice : Piergiorgio Cerello(Turin) - all exp reps are members of GAG Atlas : Laura Perini(Milan) CMS : Claudio Grandi(Bologna) LHCb: Andrei Tsaregorodtsev(Marseille) D0: Jeff Templon(Nikhef) Plus extra people from Biomedicine (V Hernandez(UPV)) and ‘generic’

5. F Harris GAG 16 Mar 2004 5 Deliverables (for application activity) see workplan https://edms.cern.ch/document/450477/2.7 and relation to GAG https://edms.cern.ch/document/450477/2.7 Deliverables Internal M1 May 1 2004 Consolidation of existing requirements documents (HEPCAL1,HEPCAL2,EDG/AWG docs) Follow via GAG on ongoing basis Note we include Biomed + ‘other ‘requirements (see EDG work) DNA4.1 M3 Jul 1 2004 Definition of Common Application Interface (relate to ARDA+EGEE work on high level service specs. Also fold in current work on Genius +GAT) Definitely needed for ‘new’ applications. Bounce off GAG since related to ARDA work DNA4.2M6Target Application Sector Strategy document DNA4.3 M9 Jan 1 2005 EGEE Application Migration Progress report (revision M15 and M21) (analogous to EDG WP8 evaluation reports) Use GAG and other LCG meetings for feedback from DCs. Will report on use of ‘old’ and ‘new’ middleware DNA4.4M24Final Report of Application Identification and Support Activity

6. F Harris GAG 16 Mar 2004 6 Proposed NA4 HEP working group F Harris Coordinator M Lamanna ARDA project leader (ex officio) experiment contacts (Laura,Piergiorgio,Claudio,Andrei,Jeff) + others? The formal partners as per the contract CERN – 8 people (they are in ARDA and NA4 HEP) coordinated by ML(FH) Russian institutes – HEP manager - Elena Tickhonenko – + (G.Shavratova (ALICE), A.Minaenko (Atlas), O.Kodolova(CMS ), I.Korolko(LHCb). Republic of Korea –CKSC(consortium of 3 universities led by Sejong) in ALICE and Bio –Contact Do-Won Kim + CESNET(Prague) (help desk for HEP and other applications) Informal members (no contractual obligation ) Reps of other grid projects supporting HEP applications (e.g. GridPP..) Comment This is ~ 20 people – attendance at meetings would be as function of agendas which will focus on current issues

7. F Harris GAG 16 Mar 2004 7 Future NA4/HEP organisation (meetings etc.)-avoiding duplication with GAG Propose Working Group meet ~ once/month with phone conf Have meeting at 1 st project conf in Cork April 19 (agenda agreed) Will also involve interaction with other applications for focus on production of overall application deliverables Will involve also interaction with other EGEE activities (operations,training,…) Use GAG meetings for ongoing HEP requirements review and feedback from Data Challenges (and ARDA?) ‘extended’ steering committee (? Every 3 months) to review where we are overall in EGEE applications area
