• 1 person for Clustering (code development/improving, testing, prompt bug-fixing)
• 1 person for RecoLocalCalo, especially UncalibRecHit producer (code development/improving, testing, prompt bug-fixing)
• 1 person for Validation (releaser, pre-release checking, problem spotting and further investigations in collaboration with Clustering and RecoLocalCalo persons)
• 1 person for overall management + accessory work (DataFormat, DB interactions, AoB)

Short term action items - startup

• check and improve ECAL (electronics) mapping to have a coherent system across trigger-laser-offline
• RecoLocalCalo: verify the chain
  • UncalibRecHit producers (timing and weights)
  • new flagging/recovering system
• Clustering
  • integrate rechit flags in clustering algos
  • testing of local containment correction
• Fully integrate preshower in reconstruction

ECAL reconstruction

• Trigger
  • Trigger Primitives (TP)
    • medium frequency ongoing changes (for TP configuration, I think)
  • Selective Readout Process (SRP)
    • critical, low frequency changes, low long-term devel
  • Trigger Emulators
    • no idea

• Unpacker
  • EB/EE
    • critical, low frequency changes, ?
  • ES
    • critical, ?, ?

• Uncalibrated Rec Hits
  • Amplitude reconstruction
    • critical, medium frequency changes, medium short-term devel
      • channel recovery, especially in the EE
      • affected by trigger optimization
  • Time reconstruction
    • non critical, medium frequency changes, medium short-term devel
      • optimization of ratio method
      • affected by trigger optimization

• (Calibrated) Rec Hits
  • Application of calibration constants
    • critical, low frequency changes, low devel
      • propagation of reco flags
      • affected by trigger optimization
  • Laser transparency corrections
    • critical, low frequency changes, medium long-term devel
      • work on transparency correction algo

• Clustering
  • Clustering Algorithms
    • critical, high frequency changes, high short-term devel
      • ES area to be fully included
      • refurbishing of the code would be good
      • possible room for performance improvement
  • Clustering Corrections (energy scale, uncertainty, gap/crack)
    • critical, high frequency changes, medium short-term devel
      • at each release needs re-computation of parameters + appropriate DB filling
      • may require code changes if algorithms get improved
      • gap/crack needs to tested and be included in the reco flow
      • error estimation still unders study
  • Cluster tools
    • non critical, medium frequency change, medium devel

• Preshower
  • no real idea

• Validation
  • each of the items to be validated should take care of its part for the validation (suggest histograms, eventually implement them etc.)
  • one person to supervise the process and look at the results/debug problems if any/contact relevant persons

• Accessory topics (i.e. topics affecting/needed by ECAL reco)
  • Data Base (DB)
    • Objects
      • critical, high frequency changes, expected to become low
    • Payload filling (online/offline DB, trivial)
      • critical, high frequency changes
        • need a tag for each release
        • most of the time it is just a copy of old payloads
        • regular set of payload changes with time and has to be updated
    • Trivial condition retriever
    • DB technicalities (e.g. O2O etc.)
      • no real idea, but we don't need one
  • Geometry
    • critical, low frequency change, low long-term devel expected
      • mainly optimization, big changes should have been already done
  • Electronics Mapping
    • trigger
      • non critical, low frequency change
        • it works as it is, could be improved?
    • readout
      • non critical, low frequency change, medium short-term devel expected
        • optimization
        • possible redefinition of few mappings
        • should be worked on to improve ECAL conventions (e.g. have a tool to universally handle all mappings: now it is split into geometry, trigger stuff, detId's methods etc. and it is very complicated)
