Committee Charter
The SCS Steering Committee is a working group of
Computing and
Communications Services Advisory Committee (CSAC). As such, it informs
CSAC of SCS project status and issues on a quarterly basis, or as needed,
and solicits input from CSAC members as needed to aid in decision making
and priority setting. In turn, CSAC members, as representatives of their
divisions and CSAC, have the responsibility to communicate information
to the Steering Committee that is important to its role in governance
of the SCS Project.
The duration of the SCS project is January 2003 through September 2006,
and has three distinct phases: (1) initial implementation of support
services for the 10 clusters in the program, (2) on-going support (system
administration and cybersecurity) of these clusters, and (3) identification of
the path forward for scientific computing support at LBNL.
The SCS Steering Committee chartered by this document will work with
the full CSAC committee and the ITSD project team to ensure success and
visibility of the first phase (implementation phase) of the SCS Project.
This phase will conclude once all of the clusters have been purchased or
integrated into the project, and the support activities for the clusters
have become routine, anticipated March 2004. The Steering Committee
will meet bi-monthly or as-needed during this first period.
The Steering Committee is responsible for governance of the implementation
phase of the project. ITSD is responsible for day-to-day management.
This governance includes the following activities:
- Provide oversight to ensure accountability
- Participate in decision making
- Participate in priority setting
