SCUBA-2 DR Software "delta" Preliminary Design Review

This review was successful. The report can be found here.

The SCUBA-2 Data Reduction Software PDR occurred on September 24th. The outcome of that review recommended a delta-PDR should take place in order to address some of the concerns of the panel concerning the requirements analysis and project planning. This "delta-PDR" will be held on December 10th via videocon.

Panel Members

The review panel consists of:

• Dr Nick Rees (JAC) [Chair]
• Dr Séverin Gaudet (CADC)
• Dr Kate Isaak (UCW)

Project Team

The DR software project team consists of:

• Dr Tim Jenness - Technical Lead (JAC)
• Dr Douglas Scott - DR Project Scientist (UBC)
• Janos Molnar - Canadian Project Manager (UBC)
• Frossie Economou - JAC Project Liaison (JAC)
