John Schnase, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center
| Num | Label | Milestone | Expected | Certified |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | A | Software engineering plan completed. Deliver Software Engineering / Development Plan, Configuration Management Plan, Quality Assurance Plan, and Risk Management Plan. |
04/15/02 | 05/13/02 |
| 2. | E | Code baseline completed. Document performance characteristics and time/space complexity of existing PlantDiversity code and modeling process for two canonical examples: Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) and the Cerro Grande Fire Site (CGFS). Determine appropriate multipliers, m and n, to be used in Milestones F and G respectively. Deliver initial version of Requirements, Software Design, and Concept of Operations Documents. Documented source code made publicly available via the Web. |
07/15/02 | 01/06/03 |
| 3. | B | First Annual Report delivered. Submit FY02 Annual Report to CT via Web. |
08/15/02 | 01/06/03 |
| 4. | F | First code improvement completed. Improve implementation of PlantDiversity to deliver canonical products from Milestone E mX faster than the baseline implementation. Provide code scaling curves. Deliver updates to Requirements and Design Documents. Deliver initial version of Test Plan / Procedures Document. Documented source code made publicly available via the Web. |
07/15/03 | 02/25/04 |
| 5. | C | Second Annual Report delivered. Submit FY03 Annual Report to CT via Web. |
08/15/03 | 02/25/04 |
| 6. | 01 | Linux clusters installed. Install Linux clusters at USGS/CSU and NASA/GSFC. System configurations will be based on recommendations from CT at the time of purchase. |
07/15/03 | 04/22/05 |
| 7. | G | Second code improvement completed. Improve implementation of PlantDiversity to accommodate 10X more input data over Milestones E and F at nX the time required in the baseline implementation. (Depending on the science problem, this enhanced capability may be used to increase spatial resolution, temporal resolution, or coverage.) Provide code scaling curves. Deliver updates to Requirements (Software Requirements Document, Software Requirements Trace Matrix), Design, and Test Documents (Test Plan, Test Cases). Deliver initial User's Guide. Documented source code made publicly available via the Web. |
07/15/04 | 04/22/05 |
| 8. | K | Customer delivery accomplished. Achieve sustained use of PlantDiversity by 10 customers. Deliver updated Test Plan / Procedures Document and User's Guide. Deliver updated Requirements and Design Documents. Deliver Maintenance Manual for as-built system. Documented source code made publicly available via the Web. Documents: |
12/15/04 | 04/22/05 |
| 9. | D | Final Report delivered. Submit Final Report to CT via the Web. |
