Roadmap planning

Science & Infrastructure (March 23, 2020)

Zoom link: https://ucihealth.zoom.us/j/8086844093

Participants:

Objective: Define the main outcomes for the next year for science and infrastructure:

• The number of major force fields to be released (for small molecules and biomolecules) and the most important features defining each release (release vs. generation);

• The most important infrastructure components to be developed in the next year and desirable features (data management);

• Key science issues that need to be addressed to support future plans

  • These need to proceed independently of major release plans

  • Science to be incorporated into release plans when ready

• What will NOT be included in the next FF releases and infrastructure support.

Concept: Discuss the ideas and problems at a high level and treat possible solutions as a black box. The goal is to define the most important features, inputs and outputs, restrictions, timelines. The exact solutions (product development plans) are to be proposed and devised by smaller designated teams.
