Charge

  • Address the four questions
  • Discuss how DOE2000 technology can be used in your program
  • Prepare a set of ``answers'' and ``questions'' for discussion on Thursday

    • Questions for Discussion

  • What are 4-6 examples of DOE program scenarios where DOE2000 Collaboratory and ACTS capabilities would be integral to accomplishing DOE missions or could add significant value? (Potential joint pilot projects)
  • In what ways would these scenarios employ DOE2000 capabilities? That is, what are the key needs from DOE2000 for such scenarios? (Think in terms of high-level capabilities as much as possible.)
  • What next steps are needed to make DOE2000 a DOE-wide reality? (action items)
  • What other issues and concerns need to be discussed to ensure a close linkage of DOE2000 to program requirements? (a small set of discussion questions for the whole workshop)
