2008 Network Requirements Workshop for the DOE/SC Nuclear Physics Program Office
Goals
The goal of this workshop is to accurately characterize the networking requirements of science funded by the NP Program Office. These requirements will serve as input to the ESnet architecture and planning processes, and will help ensure that ESnet continues to provide world-class support for scientific discovery for DOE scientists and their collaborators. The tangible outcome of the workshop will be a document that includes both the network requirements and a supporting narrative.
Schedule
The workshop will be a 1.5 day event - all day Tuesday May 6 and the morning of Wednesday May 7 2008. Please see the
logistics page for more details.
Workshop Registration
The workshop is by invitation only - no registration is required.

Network Requirements Document for Nuclear Physics
This workshop will generate a network requirements document for the NP Program Office. This document will be composed of the network requirements input from the workshop attendees.
Workshop attendees should review the case study update document and other background materials on the
documents page. Please also review the pages on the ESnet public web site (links are provided on the documents page). Please then use the background materials in combination with your own knowledge and experience to generate a narrative describing your scientific research, instrument, facility or other scientific endeavor. Examples of science narratives with their accompanying requirements matrices can be found in the
Case Study Requirements Update document. Please bring your case study (narrative and corresponding data table) with you to the workshop.
At the workshop we will review the documents and speak with the attendees to ensure that we understand the science being done insofar as it has an impact on networking. We will also make sure that we capture the timelines for upgrades, new facilities, changing collaborations, and other coming events that will change the way in which the network is used.
The workshop format is much closer to a round-table discussion rather than a series of PowerPoint presentations. If you feel that you really need to give a formal presentation we can accommodate that, but we have found that these workshops are more productive if there is a simple discussion and exchange of ideas rather than a formal presentation format.
