– Open, global collaboration of critical mass, able to deal with all problems posed, together with CERN and collaborating institutes

– "Lean, bottom-up" self-organisationself-organisation; success based on experienced collaborators, eager young people, common goals and competition

– MoU, best intentions but not legally bindingMoU, best intentions but not legally binding– Free choice of collaborating institutes to participate -

or not– Clear common long-term mission, clear objectives,– Free exchange of ideas, technologies, R&D results – Often best people in the field of interest– External peer reviews; elaborate internal reviews and

QA– Good record of achievements in terms of delivery to

specs, schedules, budgets

Some typical features of such collaborations

CMS COLLABORATION RRB CMS-D 98-31

Memorandum of Understandingfor Collaboration in the Construction of the CMS Detector

betweenThe EUROPEAN ORGANISATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH,

andan Institution/Funding Agency of the CMS Collaboration

Preamble(a) A group of Institutes from CERN Member and non-Member States, and CERN,has agreed to collaborate to form the CMS Collaboration (Annex 1). This Collaboration has proposed to CERN an experiment to study particle interactions at the highest possible energies and luminosities to be reached with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These Institutes have secured the support of their Funding Agencies to enable them to participate in the CMS Collaboration.(b) Agreement to this Collaboration is effected through identical Memoranda of Understanding (hereafter referred to as MoU) between each Funding Agency or Institute, as appropriate, in the Collaboration and CERN, as the Host Laboratory. These MoUs define the Collaboration and its objectives, and the rights and obligations of the collaborating Institutes.(c) On the basis of a Technical Proposal submitted in December 1994 (CERN/ LHCC/94-38) and a detailed review of the scientific merits, the technological feasibility and estimates of the needed resources, the LHC Committee (LHCC) recommended approval of the experiment to the CERN Research Board, subject to a set of milestones to be met by the experiment in its initial phase (CERN/LHCC 95-76).(d) Based on the recommendation by the LHCC and in agreement with the list of milestones, the Research Board recommended to the Director General of CERN to approve the project, together with plans, including milestones, leading to the sub-detector Technical Design Reports.

Page 17: 01-Oct-00H. F. Hoffmann, CERN-DG/DI1 Collaborations in Particle Physics Example CERN The Mission of CERN (1954): “The Organization shall provide for collaboration

01-Oct-00 H. F. Hoffmann, CERN-DG/DI 19

(e) The Director General accepted the Research Board recommendation and approved the project to build the detector for the CMS experiment within a cost ceiling not exceeding 475 MCHF (in 1995 prices).

(f) Before proceeding to the final construction phase, each sub-detector (c.f.. Article 4.1) will be subjected to a technical, financial, and manpower review (CERN/DG/RB 95-234) by the LHCC based on the Technical Design Reports. This process will be completed during 1997 and 1998 for most of the sub-systems.

(g) A Resources Review Board (RRB) has been constituted which comprises the representatives of all CMS Funding Agencies and the managements of CERN and the CMS Collaboration. It is chaired by the CERN Director of Research.The role of the RRB includes :· reaching agreement on the Memorandum of Understanding· monitoring the Common Projects and the use of the Common Funds· monitoring the general financial and manpower support· reaching agreement on a maintenance and operation procedure andmonitoring its functioning· endorsing the annual construction and maintenance and operation budgets of the detector.The management of the Collaboration reports regularly to the RRB on technical, managerial, financial and administrative matters, and on the composition of the Collaboration.

(h) Interim MoUs become obsolete

(i) This MoU is not legally binding, but the Institutes and Funding Agencies recognize that the success of the Collaboration depends on all its members adhering to its provisions. Any default will be dealt with, in the first instance,by the Collaboration and if necessary then by the RRB.

ATLAS Organisation (as example)• Principles:

– Democracy– Separation of policy-making and executive powers– Minimal formal organisation– Limited terms of office

• Plenary Meeting:– Forum of the all-hands discussions, – all major decisions concerning physics objectives and results,

hardware and software design, organisational matters must be discussed there

• Collaboration Board:– Policy- and decision-making body with typical tasks:

• Decisions on global detector design• Policy matters wrt official bodies• Financial and human resources• Elections• Organisation and membership

Project Organisation (example ATLAS)

• ATLAS project=organised sum of sub-projects and parts, conceived, designed and fabricated to a variety of habits, standards, cultures around the world

• Engineering organisation -- "top cultural layer", common language and common "rules of the game" to permit "engineering communication" throughout the project– Project breakdown structure (product, assembly breakdowns)– Work packages and WP-descriptions– Schedules, milestones, reporting for project follow up– Quality assurance

• Reviews at the various project stages like design, construction, assembly

• Configuration management

– Integration, mechanical, services, "environmental", accelerator

– Safety (CERN-LHCC/99-01; ATLAS TDR 13, "Tech. Co-ordination"; 31-01-1999, 598

The Grid Middleware Services Concept• Standard services that

– Provide uniform, high-level access to a wide range of resources (including networks)

– Address interdomain issues: security, policy

– Permit application-level management and monitoring of end-to-end performance

• Broadly deployed, like Internet Protocols

• Enabler of application-specific tools as well as applications themselves

GEANT, necessary infrastructure

Minimum bandwidth of 2.5 Gbps between core nodes, possibility of starting with some 10Gbps (STM-64/OC-768c) circuits is not excluded.

Connection to other World Regions in principle via core nodes only, They will, together, form a European Distributed Access (EDA) “point” conceptually similar to the STAR TAP.

Questions and AnswersQ1:Flexibility of institutional structure to allow researchers to change field

Q2: Exchange of knowledge across disciplines and institutions

Q3: Main obstacles to international co-operation

Q4:Information revolution

A1:Beginning discussion with astro-, space- physics; technology transfer-> funding for interdisciplinary activities? However,very clear mission, "mono-culture"A2: More fellowships in technological and interdisciplinary fields with specific funding: domain competence and add-on competence(KI, DataGrid)A3: Funding agencies, scientists, politicians still think "national" Employment conditions, spouses, schools--> keep national employment in Europe "in exchange" plus adjustment allowance, help for spouses to find appropriate work, international schoolsA4: Promote e-science, grids, . . .

International Collaboration Objective: top scientific excellence in your particular field

Add resources("Resources": Talent; particular knowledge, experience, methods; specific scientific apparatus, technologies; funds)

Create a complete, competitive, technological infrastructure in your particular field beyond local, regional, national meansCreate a network of competence to solve detailed problems quickly and to prepare new meansBase your collaboration to a large degree on Universities (talent)

Reach, sustain excellence by attracting the best people

"Nobody is perfect" - but a team can be
