ESCAPE Work Package 5 (ESAP)

This wiki provides key information about ESCAPE Work Package 5, and its primary product, the ESFRI Science Analysis Platform.

Key Documents

D5.1, Preliminary Report on Requirements for ESFRI Science Analysis Use Cases, Meyer-Zhao et al, July 2019.
D5.2, Detailed Project Plan, Meyer-Zhao et al, July 2019.
D5.3, Performance Assessment of Initial Science Platform Prototype, Swinbank et al, August 2021.

Use Cases

ESFRI and TSP use cases will be collected in this Redmine system.

Some use cases have previously been collected elsewhere. They should ultimately be either retired or migrated to the Redmine system, but in the interim they are collated here:

KM3Net Use Cases
CTA Use Cases
ESAP UI & IVOA (note: this is a read-only copy of a document owned by Zheng)

See also the WP2 - WP5 Integration Workshop, below, at which a number of use cases were discussed, and D5.1, above, which provides an initial survey of use cases.

Regular Meetings

Monthly Meetings

The whole WP5 team meets at 11:00 (Central European Time) on the third Monday of every month. We discuss project-wide announcements, address urgent business within the WP, and ask each partner to give a brief update on their activities. Refer to INDICO for the meeting schedule and connection details.

Technical Discussion

There is a technical ESAP development meeting every Monday at 16:00 (European Time). This provides an opportunity for developers working on core ESAP functionality to plan and coordinate their work. This discussion grew out of the Interactive Data Analysis working group, but now has a wider remit. Refer to INDICO for the meeting schedule and connection details.

Tech Talks

Tech talks are given intermittently at 16:00 (European Time) on Mondays. WP5 members are invited to provide an overview of their current work, or to discuss other technologies and activities which are of relevance to the work package. Slides and other materials from tech talks are collated in a Git repository; speakers are reminded to upload their slides there.

Previous and upcoming tech talks are listed on INDICO.

Working Groups

Interactive Data Analysis

The remit of this WG includes the complete picture of IDA facilities within ESAP. However, it is currently narrowly focused on the interaction between ESAP and Jupyter.

Meetings

The group meets weekly, on Monday afternoons (except where that conflicts with a Tech Talk. For meeting details, notes, connection information, etc, refer to INDICO.
