Ag1 feedback
strong points MySpace Workflow Applications integration
weak no stable system UI hard to work with too complicated no "working system with real data"
08 -Feb-2005 Andy Lawrence : Planning Meeting, Leicester 3
implications
long term : better infr., new featuresmedium term : re-centre on applicationsshort term : rollout product AND deployment
08 -Feb-2005 Andy Lawrence : Planning Meeting, Leicester 4
AG2 methodology (1)
planning Cycle .NE. development cycleplanning Cycle : plan-doc is bible six months top-level goals does not evolve visible to outside
Development Cycle flexible as necessary normally visible only inside

AG2 methodology (2)
Oversight : PPARC AG oversight committeePolicy, Strategy, Resources : AGLI
track progress monthly versus Cycle-Plan
Strategy Development : Man Team ProgMan, ProjMan, ProjSci, ProjLead helped by informal Senior Engineers Group no TSP
Advice : SAG, TAG

VOTECH - AG2 relationship
align goals, work-structure, and planning cycleVOTECH has Assessment and Design focusAG2 has engineering focus for UK AND Euro deployment
but some PPARC-AG2 effort added to VOTECHnames named soon

AG overall goals
develop open standardsdevelop a software infrastructure develop a registry demonstrate physical grid of resourcesimplement working VO system based around key UK databases.
provide UI to that system provide or adapt science user tools

AG2 specific goals
expand, revise, improve core infrastructureprovide a suite of science user toolsresearch and deploy new automated resource discovery techniques techniques in Grid technology techniques in visualisation and datamining

Greater AstroGrid
deployment can't be done by AG alonework with data centresbut must be co-ordinated by AGAG was child of DCsnow re-unite and form "Greater AstroGrid"
