DØ Code Infrastructure Week

22 May - 26 May 2000

The DØ code infrastructure has been in place for more than two years now, and we have amassed considerable experience with using it and developing with it.  By code infrastructure, we mean

It is now time to revisit our usage of this infrastructure, and address requests for changes from users and developers.  We need to understand what changes should be made, to make a schedule for implementing them well in advance of the Run, and to make sure we have tested all aspects of the infrastructure.  Two areas where tesitng has not already taken place in the course of the Monte Carlo Challenge are using databases for input and exercising the schema evolution features of persistency, so those are on the agenda as well.   One further component of Code Infrastructure Week will be a general session with talks on areas where we could improve our usage of the existing infrastructure features.

Since changes to code infrastructure often raise some complicated technical decisions,  we will also organize some preliminary discussions before the general sessions, so that we can, we hope, converge to definite proposals with the technical ramifications fully worked out, before they are presented for the general sessions.

Preliminary Sessions (still evolving)
