Use widely spread, well supported products (with healthy future) l Linux, C++, Objectivity, Qt... Mitigate risks l Proper planning with milestones l Track technology evolution; investigate and prototype alternatives l Verify and validate migration paths; have a fall-back solution ready

23. 10. 2000 David Stickland, Princeton University The Grid Services Concept Standard services that l Provide uniform, high-level access to a wide range of resources (including networks) l Address interdomain issues: security, policy l Permit application-level management and monitoring of end-to-end performance l Perform resource discovery l Manage authorization and prioritization Broadly deployed (like Internet Protocols)

23. 10. 2000 David Stickland, Princeton University Why CMS (HEP) in the GRID? GRID Middleware provides a route towards effective use of distributed resources and complexity management GRID design matches the MONARC hierarchical Model We (HEP) have some Grid-like tools (hand-made). The scale of CMS Computing requires a more professional approach to live for decades. CMS already participates in relevant GRID initiatives, e.g. l The Particle Physics Data Grid (PPDG) [US] Distributed Data Services and Data Grid System Prototypes l Grid Physics Network (GriPhyN ) [US] Production-Scale Data Grids l DATAGRID [EU] Middleware development and Real Applications Test

23. 10. 2000 David Stickland, Princeton University Computing Progress CMS is progressing towards a coherent distributed system, to support production and analysis We need to study the problems and prototyping the solutions for distributed analysis by hundreds of users in many countries Production, via prototypes, will lead to decisions about the architecture on the basis of measured performances and possibilities
