NOTE: This is a set of miscellaneous TODO items. Anything like a bug or specific feature request should instead go into the SLAC Jira bug tracker.
Event Generation
- "we need a new unity"
- ISAJET
- WHIZARD

- support GDML from the MAD decks
Sim Jobs
- Grid
- SLIC jobs running on the Grid
- need Grid certificate for ILC Grid (talk to Ties Behnke)
- DAGS (Bala)
- run analysis jobs interactively; requires no code changes
- need to get setup at SLAC
- SLIC
- rangecut, steplen investigations with RC
- ILC500 / 1000 jobs with SDJan03, SDFeb05 detectors
- neutron
- tungsten absorber
- big R
for G10
- polyethylene in front of gas
- performance evaluation
- SLIC vs. LCDG4
- standalone singles and physics
- comparison of SiD, GLD, D11

- Eres
...
- synchronize LCDetectors with lcsim.org/detectors
- D11
- model D11 in Mokka DB
- GLD
- prim constants from JLC *
- ParameterList files in JUPITER source
- prim constants from JLC *
- XSLT utilities for lcsim.org/detectors
- info extrapolation to make super-compact description in HTML (use XSLT)
- # layers, slice material and thickness
- simplified side and beam views using XML -> SVG
- info extrapolation to make super-compact description in HTML (use XSLT)
- Norman's requests
- verbatim include or reference to GDML for BDS, MDI system and supports
- abstract layering engine (mostly done though could use work!)
- "robustify" nonprojective segmentation (mostly done and GL working on this)
- Tony's requests
- non-cylindrical shapes demo
- interface between org.lcsim and compact
- schema-fy compact description where possible
- new SDJan03 matching LCDG4's
- SiD repr w/ cylinders
- graphical repr of zip resources (constants, geo, etc.)
- process compact description with stylesheet and produce
- beam and side views in SVG
- subdetectors w/ list of contants like slice thicknesses, num layers
- inlined comments
- GeomConverter utilities in JAS
- tree viewer of geom data, all detectors
- default actions, like double-click on compact and get a HepRep view
- translate compact to lcdd (GeomConverter script now does this.)
- detector design whizard or GUI
Analysis and Reconstruction
- geometry-independent clustering
- using phi, theta, r
- NN using global positions of hits (see "nearest point", "computational geometry", The Algorithm Design Manual)
- NonprojectiveCylinder segmentation support (w/ GL)
- continue discussions on common geo API with TJ, NG, GL, TB, FG, et al.
- Run Control Parameter support with processor name as Java class w/o org.lcsim (see Marlin)
- parameters with INI, attributes file, etc
- simple list of processors and parameters
- analysis manager loads the processors by org.lcsim.(package).(classname)
- could be Python code
- materials database (see online NIST data)
- format could be GDML, another XML format, flat file, or database
...
- create "mcprj" CVS module (help from TJ)
- setup SLIC at NICADD
Miscellaneous
- investigate component/plugin-based architecture for analysis and reco
- make each component self-contained, "pluggable", and inspectable
- checkout ROOT's VMC, VGM
- writes GDML, AGDD
- geometry from ROOT, Geant4
- a python HepRep parser
- python bindings to LCIO (using swig or boost)
- experiment with a Java server
- Tomcat (suggested by Tony)
- MySQL
- file catalog, linked histograms, simulation runs, etc.
- file format LCIO/StdHep utilities (probably in Java)
- actions
- dump
- concat (could perform better using low-level SIO block writing)
- print number of events
- print number of run headers
- print start run number
- print max run number
- print start event number
- print max event number
- split
- merge / overlay
- select records
- by criteria or number

- GDML
- examples for Julius (GraXML)
- include mechanism in compact files (include GDML snippets)
- CPP code generation
- LCDD
- xmlbeans for automatic code generation from schema
