Software Development Committees

The document "Software Development for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey" dated September 15, 1992 describes "... the following concept for the management structure for the SDSS software effort."

The central responsibility for the overall computing system is to be undertaken by a Computing Coordinator who reports to the Survey Director. This person provides the contact between the two software parts. The Computing Coordinator moreover requests needed resources from the Project Director (via the Survey Director) and allocates these resources.... The computing coordinator is advised by two parallel committees:

The Computing Coordinator is assisted by two Managers: The Survey Director is Richard Kron, the Computing Coordinator is Steve Kent. The SSTM is Chris Stoughton, and the CIIM is Ruth Pordes.
