Up: NOTE 209 - AIPS++ OPERATIONS Previous: Resources and Timescales

Summary

The development of AIPS++ is ambitious. We have chosen to be similarly ambitious in our plans for operation. An estimate of the staffing required is about 6-10 FTEs to operate as we have described. This is in addition to the staff needed for any ongoing development of AIPS++, which we anticipate to be substantial. Many of these people can be drawn from existing operational staff at the various observatories. A bump in staffing around the time of the transition into operations is probably inevitable as we finish development of the core systems, and start the preparations for operations considered here. We anticipate that the development staff will drop in number as the core solidifies. Many of these staff can be moved onto either Operations or to development for specialized telescopes such as the NRAO MMA or the SKAI.

The Quality Assurance Group will be set up immediately (November 97). The initial assignments will be Code Cop: Ralph Marson, Rules Boss: Wim Brouw, Chief Tester: Jan Noordam. Ralph Marson will direct activities of the QAG, reporting directly to the Project Manager.
