Various typos, small problems will be corrected (thanks to

Document updated to reflect R. Warmels renamed Use Cases.
In the Observing Objects section: replace Record by Dump,
since a record is generally understood as the result of an
integratiion which is written to the archive. Update the Glossary
accordingly. Delete a misleading sentence in Scan.
Requirement on observing modes (page 9; question raised by
Peter Schilke, and discussed by email). My proposition is
(added text in italics):
2.1-R11 As a baseline plan there shall be only one dynamically scheduled
research programme at a time, using all available antennas while some
antennas have been taken out by the staff as one or several
interactively controlled subarrays, for calibration or research. The
research projects to be scheduled shall thus specify a required
minimum number of antennas.
Remaining antennas shall be made available to filler science
programmes, either through a functionality of the scheduler, or by
manual action of the operator. The filler programmes must be able to
release these antennas on short notice as soon as they are needed
by the main (dynamically scheduled) research programme.
Operations Issues document (Joe Schwarz). This document is
raising issues about:
the division of operational responsibility
subarrays
Non-standard observing modes and scripts
Dynamic scheduling and service observing
responsibility for data quality ...
Among these issues are operational implications of our
requirements. Joe will distribute this document in about a week.
This document will not be included in the Report.
Off-line analysis requirements methodology:
RL will prepare a list of issues and ask for contributors
for each one; their role will be to prepare the discussion for
the Grenoble meeting.
There will be no phone meeting before the Grenoble
face-to-face meeting.
Action Items
RL: revise the report taking into account the comments.
Brian/Gianni: find reviewers.
RL: prepare list of issues and animators for off-line analysis
requirements (suggestions accepted, as well as volunteers !)
