Logical Design Initiation

Objectives:

  •  Design logical architecture to support solicitation and proposal creation. 
Design GoalsTarget StartTarget FinishActual StartActual Finish

1) Review Requirements and walk through Project Docs

Jan. 4, 2021

Feb. 19, 2021

2) Establish infrastructure related to development environments3) Establish Revision Control and Unit Testing4) Further develop architecture and prototype the Solicitation Package

Phase 1: Logical Design of Solicitation and Proposal Submission

Objectives:

  •  Design and prototype logical architecture to support solicitation and proposal creation. 
Design GoalsTarget StartTarget FinishActual StartActual Finish

1) The system shall support definition of multiple concurrent solicitations.

Feb. 22, 2021

April 14, 2021

2) Users shall be able to create proposals containing all proposal information except:
  • Interaction with the A3 component is not required, proxy user identification is sufficient.
  • Capabilities and Allocation Requests are stubs consisting of just the facilities and the time requested.
  • Scientific Justification need not be populated with actual PDF files.
3) Proposals shall be able to be created, edited, submitted, withdrawn and duplicated.

4) The ability to validate the software through creation and submission of test proposals and

the subsequent removal of proposals when the solicitation is opened shall be demonstrated.

Phase 2: Logical Design of Observatory Site Review and Allocation Disposition Creation

Objectives:

  • Design and prototype logical architecture to support a review and time allocation process.
Design GoalsTarget StartTarget FinishActual StartActual Finish

1) Review processes shall be able to be configured on a per solicitation basis.

Review process will be observatory site review.

Mar. 9, 2021

April 27, 2021

2) The results of the review shall be entered and persisted, and an allocation disposition created.

  • Results shall be entered via a GUI interface.  The primary goal is to demonstrate the architectural connections between the UX and application layers.
3) Allocation Dispositions shall contain recommended allocation at the Observing Specification Disposition level, although this is simplified with respect to the final state. 

Phase 3: Logical Design of Allocation Approval, Project Creation, and Process Closeout

Objectives: 

  • Design and prototype the logical architecture to support the allocation approval, creation of observing projects,

and the closeout of the proposal process.

Design GoalsTarget StartTarget FinishActual StartActual Finish1) Generation of metrics and reports (subject to available meta-data)

2) Export of csv-formatted spreadsheets containing proposal and allocation information.3) Modification of Allocation Dispositions by member of TTA Group.4) Recording of acceptance by the director or designee.5) Configurable generation and distribution of disposition letters. 

6) Creation of observing projects for proposals with positive disposition.

  • Note that this is a stub project. The intent is to demonstrate that the path to the telescope systems exist and do a minimal population of the project.

Integration: Integration of Phases 1 - 3

Objectives:

  • Internal Software Delivery

Technical Debt

Objectives: 

  • Design and prototype the logical architecture to support the allocation approval, creation of observing projects,

and the closeout of the proposal process.

Design GoalsTarget StartTarget FinishActual StartActual Finish1) Specific technical debt items will draw from the technical debt register (TBD)

Phase 4: Solicitation Definition

Objectives:

  • Production level specification of multiple concurrent solicitations.
Design GoalsTarget StartTarget FinishActual StartActual Finish1) Capabilities will be represented by simple stubbed proxies.

June 10, 2021

Aug. 24, 2021

2) Only the observatory site review process may be specified.

Phase 5: High Level Proposal Entry

Objectives:

  • Population of the Proposal Information, Author, and Technical Justification portions of proposals.
Design GoalsTarget StartTarget FinishActual StartActual Finish1) Author information will be in a primitive state as the author information service is not yet available.

June 21, 2021

Aug 20, 2021

2) Allocation requests will continue to be stubs as in Phase 1.3) Production level performance of service does not need to be demonstrated at this time.

Phase 6a: Panel-Based Review - Science and Feasibility Reviews

Objectives:

  • Implement the Individual Science and Feasibility review processes.
Design GoalsTarget StartTarget FinishActual StartActual Finish1) Automatic Conflict detection will be based on string comparison rather than Global Author ID

Jun 29,2021

Sep. 8, 2021

2) Filters for assigning feasibility reviews are not yet required.3) User roles may be by assertion (e.g. users may define themselves to be members of the TTA Group)

Phase 6b: Panel-Based Review - Consensus Meeting

Objectives:

  • Implement support for the NRAO Consensus Review.
Design GoalsTarget StartTarget FinishActual StartActual Finish

1) User roles may be by assertion (e.g. users may define themselves to be chair of the science review panel)
