8:30 am |
Organization and Breakfast AIV&C plan the focus for today |
|
9:00 am |
Overview: (Robert and Rick; 30 minutes)-description and overview of the phases of work from equipment delivery through SV: a) delivery, assembly and integration b) verification, c) commissioning phase I and phase II d) SV e) demo science and early science. |

Lunch |
|
13:30 pm |
Pre early science Commissioning (Robert, 2.0 hours); - Look at the plan detail; collect notes for updating plan. Emphasis on order of tasks, whether hardware prerequisites are correctly linked, completeness of tasks, resources and duration, staffing for commissioning, interaction with operations. |

15 January 2005 |
8:30 am |
Breakfast. SV and Operations plan the focus today |
|
9:00 am |
Post early science Commissioning (Robert, 1.5 hours); - Review plan for remaining tasks, prioritize, discuss resources needed and where they come from (Ops? Construction?)plan |
|
10:30 am |
SV, including end-to-end verification (Dave, 2 hours)- Review state of planning. Review and discuss the inputs needed for SV, especially what hardware, what commissioning is needed and what software needs to be in place. Resources for SV. Interaction with and participation by ARCs. Organize further development of SV plan. |
|
12:30 pm |
Lunch |
|
13:45 pm |
Demo science(Al, 15 minutes); - review ASAC comments on lead-in to Early Science |
|
14:00 pm |
Software support (Brian or Debra, 1.5 hours); - Discuss the installation, test and support of software, especially the size of staff and funding source for staff. Remote support? SCO, or in the regions? |
|
15:30 pm |
General Discussion, review of action items |
NOTE:
- All sessions in Auditorium unless otherwise indicated.

- Reading Materials: ALMA CSV Wiki
Minutes (fill-in)
KEY DECISIONS, ISSUES:
Project steps under consideration:
(1) Assembly, (2) Integration, (3) Verification, (4) Commissioning (this latter one including the production and delivery of standard datasets indicating the performance and readiness of standard modes), followed by
(5) Demonstration Science (proposed for, still heavily supported), and
(6) Early Science (initial science operations), plus (7) Post Early Science commissioning (a scaled-down as-available version of commissioning).
(This delineation is a proposal based on the consensus reached at meeting..)
Immediately after Commissioning is where external (non-ALMA) staff/users start to propose for and use the system...
Current review of tasks associated with AIVC seems reasonable; no obvious changes to be made at this time (however current plan makes specific assumptions about preparations made at ATF)
PSI - Plan is still in development, and needs to be brought to same level of analysis as (and coupled to) AIVC plan.
At: Demonstration Science (t0) minus 10 months preparation for the "Early Science Call" begins;
At: t0 minus 8 months the Call goes public.
PRIMARY ACTION ITEMS:
Murowinski, Laing - complete AIVC tasks, description - estimate resource profile, skill set (Feb 1st)
Sramek - Complete PSI tasks, description - estimate resource profile, skill set. (Feb 1st)
then...
Silva - reestimate complementary resource profile to support the above, other activities (antennas) (March 1st)
SECONDARY ACTION ITEMS:
Action Item--- Research what benefits of Out-Of-Focus holography would be achieved at OSF. How many antennas should this be performed on - all or first few? - Wootten
Action Item--- Follow up with Front End on impacts of adding 3rd Front End Integration Center to OSF - Murowinski/Beasley
Action Item--- Check options for electronic and communications cabling installation on antenna. Whos SOW responsibility to perform this work?
- Murowinski/Beasley
Action Item--- Coordination of PSI and ATF computing support requirements and efforts - Sramek & Shepherd
Ongoing Action Item---- There is a CRE request being submitted from SI for OSF interferometer holography. - Murowinski
Action Item--- AIVC Plan is a deliverable of this meeting. Is there a further review and comment required? (yes; begin with Director) - Beasley/Silva/Murowinski
Action Item--- AIVC Plan in Ricks MSP to be incorporated into the IPS to connect to other dependencies - Grubb
Action Item--- JAO to respond to the archive issues raised by CDR2 reviewers - Beasley/Murowinski
Action Item--- ATF Operator coverage (training, support etc.) to be addressed by P-SI - Sramek
Action Item--- A future detailed discussion concerning remote access to LAN that controls Array hardware.... Glendenning/Silva/JAO
Action Item--- A future detailed discussion concerning ARC resources - JAO, Operations
Action Item--- PSI to add holography and optical pointing telescope revision tests to phase 2 of ATF - Sramek
Action Item--- Investigate an extension for import tax exemption on the ATF Antennas. - Beasley
Action Item--- Incorporate into P-SI Plan Matrix a description of the ALMA requirements are being checked by ATF. - Sramek, SI
Action Item--- Check IPT SOWs to have resources to support their ATF requirements for two years. - Murowinski/Beasley
Action Item--- Nutator #5 may be required. - Murowinski, Beasley
Action Item--- Look at use of OSF pads in relation to AIV, Operations, Japanese antennas. - Beasley, Eschwey
Action Item--- Check elevation axis height of Japanese antennas.
Transporter issue. - Murowinski
Action Item--- Robert, Rick, Rich Work the T-8 plan into IPS. - Date to release call for early science should be in IPS - Laing, Murowinski, Grubb
Action Item--- Absorb Science Verification into Demonstration Science in ALMA project today forward. - ALL
Action Item---
E2E planning, activities - need to examine returning this to construction project. - Silva, Glendenning, Beasley
Other issues to be considered:
- Board needs to initiate Operations activity
- ACA 12-m nutator - arriving late wrt ACA ant 1
- Japan CSV plan inconsistent with bilateral AIVC
- Japanese early science too early wrt bilateral ES.
- Numerous details associated with ACA 12-m access and control during early science period need to be examined.
Final: Plan another meeting post rebaselining, post procurement.
Meeting Presentations
Copies of the presentations and action items from the ALMA assembly, integration, commissioning and verification meeting held 13-15 January in Socorro are available in almaedm under the
2005 Meetings folder.
Auditorium is reserved for January 14th and 15th here at the AOC.
AlWootten had Christine make room changes to the dates just received, from the 13th and departing the 15th. If the gentlemen that will
be attending can please give
Liz Cryer more specific dates of arriving
and departing that will be a big help.
I will have the room organized and ready for you.
Massimo would like to attend some sessions via telecon.
