SKA regional center (SRC) team Tangerine came together to plan for the upcoming PI. We co-located with the in Granada located team Coral, who focus on integration several prototyping components.

The SRCnet (SKA Regional Centre Network; see also daily image of 3 July this year) will develop the network of nodes needed to support the data access of the SKA, several teams have been set up to build prototypes for components and systems that will have to run in those systems. Team Tangerine focusses on the development of a science analysis platform.

In week 36, most of team “Tangerine” came together with SRCnet team “Coral” in Granada (Spain) at IAA to plan for the upcoming program increment (PI, the next 3 months).

For the upcoming PI, the team will focus on several things, including the way to access the catalog of processing services and the software distribution system. Next to this we will be working on building the user interface for the science platform.
