Milestones and Deliverables

Q2
(level of efforts: 0.1 FTE)
Milestone:       Identify EP component elements
Deliverables:  Documentation of physics models and available codes/models for the component
1. Compile the information about existing numerical software/models
2. Outline each subcomponent model and its applicability
2a. Models should include quasilinear diffusion for fast ion transport and initial value code being developed now
3. Compress this information for the community experts outreach on the component sub-elements

Q3 (level of efforts: 0.1 FTE)
Milestone: Analyze EP component models readiness analysis
Deliverables: Analysis present capabilities and their implementation for each subcomponent
1. For each subcomponent assess the completeness of the implemented model
2. Set requirements for physics readiness on the basis of user's input/documentations
3. Identify minimal physics model requirements for the framework

Q4 (level of efforts: 0.1 FTE)
Milestone: Gap analysis for EP components
Deliverables: Analysis and documentation of the component physics models gaps for
framework simulations
1. Basing on previous analysis summarize the gaps for each component
2. Analysis and documentation of the gaps and their possible remediation
3. Connections to the base theory program, scidac etc in addressing these gaps

Q5 (level of efforts: 0.1 FTE)
Milestone: Analysis of the V&V requirements for the component
Deliverables: Verification and validation plans for each components
1. Develop a set of requirements and criteria for V&V plans for each (sub)components
    of EP part
2. Requirements for the validation methods, synthetic diagnostic, plasma measurements
3. V&V plans for integrated into the framework components

Q6
(level of efforts: 0.1 FTE)
Milestone: Subcomponents integration plan
Deliverables: Outline and the draft of the integration plan
1. Summarizing the findings from the planning process
2. Work with other FSP  teams to coordinate the plan
3. Draft Execution plan.

Q7 (level of efforts: 0.2 FTE)
Milestone: Finalize the FSP Planning report
Deliverables:
1. Finalized version of the FSP report
2. Finalized execution plan and all other required documents.

3. Feedback on EP component (January 2010)

The feedback material is collected, see
