Interdependencies between Activities Clause Samples
Interdependencies between Activities. The development of innovative components in the research activity will be driven by the technology architecture definition and gap analysis performed in the service activities. This analysis will focus on addressing the needs and feed-‐ back of production grid infrastructure users and system administrators collected by the network activities, as illustrated in Figure 7. Each activity has a defined set of responsibilities and no duplication exists be- tween the activities. Yet, the interrelations between the activities will ensure a cohesive realisation of the project plan and the dependencies between each ac-‐ tivity have been captured via project deliverables. This strategy, coupled with standard proactive monitoring and regular communication, will provide ad-‐ equate tool for a clear and efficient project management and provide measurable advancement of the project to its stakeholders, including the Commission. The Interaction with Targeted Communities activity (WP2) will be the main gate to the communities that StratusLab specifically targets. This unique interlocutor will improve the efficiency and quality of communication with these users. The feedback from these interactions will be analysed and channelled to the Software Integration and Distribution activity (WP4) regarding software related topics and to the Infrastructure Operations activity (WP5) regarding operations and infrastructure deployment topics. These two SA activities will take these inputs into account to drive its support work and provide solutions and answers back to WP2 for delivery to the users. Another important outward facing relationship is with projects and entities with which our toolkit will integrate and interact. These are the standard bodies, re-‐ lated projects and middleware providers. The Dissemination activity (WP3) will be responsible for this interface. Distributed computing, including grid and cloud computing, is a fast moving technology. It is therefore important, even for a rela-‐ tively short duration project, to keep a constant pulse of the market and its play-‐ ers. WP3 will provide representation, in collaboration with the Project Manage-‐ ment activity (WP1), in relevant European and international events and cultivate relationships with potential partners, software component providers and poten-‐ tial new user communities. This activity will interface with WP4 to ensure that the components that are selected and integrated in the StratusLab toolkit are...
