ALMA Operations
ASAC Meeting
Sept 16-17 2006
J. Hibbard, NRAO (NA ARC Manager), on behalf of the Operations Working Group
Guidelines for ALMA Operations
• ALMA is a service observing facility, for which the scientific demand will be very high. The astronomer is not normally required to be present when his/her observations are executed.
• ALMA operational activities in Chile are limited to what is required to acquire, certify and archive the scientific data of the scientific teams proposing observations; this includes certain business functions and other activities requiring proximity to the array. For safety reasons, the number of ALMA staff working at the array site at 5000 meters elevation must be kept to an absolute minimum.
• The main interface between the user communities and ALMA is through the Regional Centers (ARCs), including proposal handling and support for data reduction and archival research.
• Maintenance, Repair and Development work on hardware and software is contracted to the Executives.
Baseline plan for the relation of Operations to Construction
From the ALMA Project Plan
• Hardware delivered will be integrated, verified, and commissioned subsystem module-by-subsystem module. Once commissioned, each subsystem module will be placed into service in the operating array.
• The initial complement of the ALMA operations team must be in place at the OSF and on the array site at the time the first array subsystem modules are commissioned..
• The details of the scientific operations plan need to be refined and implemented at the time the first few antennas arrive on site.
ALMA Operations Staffing—by Employer
• International StaffWho are employed by ESO, NRAO or NAOJ and seconded to ALMA
operations in Chile. (35 in 2013)
• Local StaffWho are employed through AUI/NRAO under Chilean labor laws in a manner
decided by the ALMA Board. (191 in 2013)
• Contract Services StaffIndividuals performing services under service contracts with ALMA. These
people are not employed directly by ALMA or the Executives. (144 in 2013)
• ARC Operations Support StaffStaff at ALMA Regional Centers providing operations and community support
(51 in 3 ARCs in 2013)
Plan for Overlap in Time with the Construction Project
• The plan for ALMA operations needs to be made consistent with the plans assumed for it in the ALMA construction plan. That is, the ramp-up with time of the ALMA operations staff needs to be planned consistent with the assumptions being made in the construction project.
– This process has been started, but needs to be planned in more detail when main JAO operations staff (Head of Technical Services, Head of Science Operations, Project Scientist) are in place.
• A plan for staffing of the commissioning effort needs to be melded with the construction and operations plans.
– Plan presented by R. Laing was developed to be consistent with current operations plan.
• There will be a time when all three staff—construction, commissioning and interim operations—will be on site at the same time. Their collective space requirements will exceed that needed for full ALMA operations.
Operations Group: I
• Origins– Created by JAO, reports to JAO– May 2003: Guilloteau, Sramek– August 2003: Emerson
Operations Group: II
• Other ALMA contributors– Brian Glendenning– Debra Shephard– Eduardo Hardy– Bill Porter
• External reviewers (Draft F)– Willem Baan (Westerbork)– Paul Ho (SMA)– Roberto Neri (IRAM)– Peggy Perley (NRAO)– David Woody (OVRO)– Melvyn Wright (BIMA)

Operations Group: III
• First meeting December 2005• Concentrate on Operations staffing plan, budget,
outstanding issues identified by Board in Ops Plan ver. A.
• Participants:– JAO (Tarenghi, Beasley, Murowinski)– Project Managers (Russell, Rykaczewski, Hasegawa)– Project Scientists (Wootten, Wilson, Kawabe)– ARC Managers (Hibbard, Adreani, Kawabe)– Legacy (Emerson)
ALMA Operations Plan Update
• Modifications:– Includes entry of ALMA-J (ACA, bands 4 & 8 and possibly 10)– Technical positions staffed with local hires wherever possible– Recruitment of operations staff tied to construction milestones
Operations Staffing Ramp-up now tied to Construction Milestones
Identified positions added for trilateral project (orange)
Identified positions filled by transfer from Construction (blue; AIV staff in this case)
All positions tied to construction milestones (3 months before Early Science in this case)
ALMA Operations Plan Update
• Modifications:– Includes entry of ALMA-J (ACA, bands 4 & 8 and possibly 10)– Technical positions staffed with local hires wherever possible– Recruitment of operations staff tied to construction milestones– Adopt ASAC recommendation that CSV be extended, moving
Early Science Decision Point back ~ 9months.• Early Science starts Sept 2010
Current Staffing plan assumes ASAC recommendation to extend CSV

– Planning baseline is for a single international Proposal Review Committee (none in Silva Plan)
• Meets once per year for first 3 cycles, then 2/year

– Development Plan…
ALMA Development Plan
• Long-range development plan– 2008 solicit community input
• Future ALMA science drivers (“2020 vision”)
• What new capabilities does ALMA need to address these science drivers?
– ALMA-wide plan 2009– executives and JAO work together to estimate initial costs
• Board, with input from ASAC, reviews the plan, provides policy guidance to generate scientific vision with both long-term and short-term projects
• Funding agencies sign-up to approved plan via ALMA Board
Board Decisions on Operations
• Automatic generation of images:– At the start of early science, there may not be enough data to
make a full pipeline analysis possible. Also, the ALMA staff needs to check the correctness of the pipeline results. After 1 to 2 years of early science operation the pipeline should be a reliably working system.
• Director’s Discretionary Time– No Director’s Discretionary Time is foreseen. All of the ALMA
time belongs to the executives.
• Data proprietary period– This will be 1 year starting with the end of the program. Special
cases could be considered in exceptional circumstances.

ARCs provide basic user interface, as well as basic archive, software, and hardware maintenance and development
“Beyond ARC” User Services
ARCs are integral part of
JAO ALMA Operations
Required ARC “Core” tasks• Operations support tasks:
– Participate in Commissioning & Science Verification.– Schedule block verification.– Astronomer on Duty. – Data reduction help-desk.– TAC support (technical feasibility assessment) – Coordination meetings between ARCs, JAO.
• For each s/w system (offline, PST, ObsTool, pipeline):– Participating in software pre-release tests (~ bi-annual).– “Exercising” s/w: using software to reduce simulated or real data; refine
pipeline heuristics.– End-user documentation (hardcopy and web-based).– Support: helpdesk for offline, PST, ObsTool; develop heuristics for
pipeline.
• ARC Mirror Archive– Complete copy of SCO Science Archive, including raw and calibration
data.
ARC staff should be testing/exercising user software (PST, ObsTool, offline, pipeline) prior to its deployment as a means to train for support duties and to write support documentation.
• Offline software released 2007.1– Leaves 2 years for exercising on ALMA-like data (VLA, SMA, etc.) until Early
Science Decision Point (ESDP) in 2010.1
• Proposal Submission Tool “more or less done” 2007.2, more fully integrated 2008.1.
– Leaves ~2 year for testing/training prior to earliest Call for Proposals in 2010.1.
• ObsTool (proposal Phase II): ready for expert users in 2009.1. – Leaves ~18mo for testing/training until first phase II in 2010.3.
• Pipeline delivered 2011.3– ARC staff help develop heuristics; will be involved in e2e tests prior to deployment
ARC staff need to test, train, and generate end-user documentation (e.g. cookbooks) by Call for Proposal (PST, 2010.1), Phase II submission (ObsTool, 2010.3) and Early Science (Offline, 2010.3). Must exercise pipeline and refine heuristics with ALMA data prior to delivery in 2011.3.

Operations Technical Support
• Operations running cost include budget to provide technical support for hardware and software delivered to project by each executive– Best to have experts who built hardware or wrote
software maintain it.
• Managed by Director of Technical Services (hardware) or Director of Science Operations (software).– How managed regionally depends on executive
