Information Systems and Data Acquisition for
ATLAS

• Weve successfully set up all the activities
  planned
• Consolidation of responsibilities on the
  ATLAS/TDAQ community
• On the Online Bookkeeper, which is our full
  responsibility for more than 3 years
• Making our group the official responsible of the
  coordination of the database effort between the
  ATLAS online and offline software and CERN/IT
  effort.
• A full Conditions Database package has already
  been released, pointing to us the full
  responsibility for the Detector calibration and
  alignment databases.
• Providing the necessary interfaces with the
  CondDB and the DCS and TDAQ systems.
• More than 20 presentations in ATLAS and LHC
  meetings and 5 papers in Computing and HEP
  conferences

DCS
Athena
TDAQ
The team plans to continue contributing
decisively to the advance of the knowledge in the
domain of the information systems for HEP
experiments, assuming an important role in the
necessary developments for the success of the
ATLAS experiment.
Time varying data for the LHC experiments

• The group associated with this proposal is today
  a main reference in all subjects related to the
  ATLAS databases at all levels, including the
  collaboration with the LCG (LHC Computing GRID)
  wide effort. The value of our proposals, the
  quality and innovative character of our work was
  evident in all conferences where it was
  presented. The generalized acknowledgment of our
  work brings with it a stronger responsibility
  towards the ATLAS collaboration. The main
  purposes of this proposal result directly from
  these responsibilities
• The database interface for calibration,
  alignment and detector control (ConditionsDB)
  including all interfaces for storing and
  distributed access both online and offline.
• To provide persistency support to all control
  information from the DAQ system ("Online
  Bookkeeping" and "ConditionsDB Interface").
• Strengthen our participation on the "ATLAS data
  challenges", in particular in relation with data
  management aspects.
• Development and test of the electronics for the
  ATLAS First Level Trigger, matching the needs of
  the ATLAS trigger electronics, in particular the
  "Muon Trigger to CT Processor.

Our software, developed for ATLAS is part of the
LCG persistent framework
Were using standard GNU tools for a portable
development strategy in order to make our
applications reusable in any environment and
platforms

• Conditions Database general management system
• General browser for LHC conditions data
• Participation in the ATLAS Data Challenge
• Maintaining, testing and optimization of the
  Online Bookkeeping (OBK)
• Conditions Database Interface (CDI) to the TDAQ
• Evaluation and study of the ATLAS detector
  control systems database
• Design of part of the ATLAS muon to central
  trigger processor interface
