Panel 1 : World-wide analysis
Give a description of baseline computing model, indicating how it differs from MONARC generic model.
What is the current tentative distribution of the different regional centres?
Give a tentative assessment for data storage and management and for processing power required at the different centres (now and at the different stages towards LHC start-up).
Explain your current understanding of your policy regarding magnetic tapes versus disks.
Given the current status of the implementation of the above model, is the experiment involved/interested in the current GRID test activities?
Do you plan Mock Data Challenges or equivalent test-beds to validate your model and provide intermediate services between now and LHC start-up?
What are the resources available/planned for the implementation of the above model (again staggered between now and LHC start-up)?
