1. Organisational/Structural Matters
   • Agreement on monthly (skype) management meetings. Next: 19/12/2017 (after lunch)
   • A first KRAD meeting in Moscow envisaged: week of 5-9 March 2018?? (kind of kick-off meeting)
   • Establish a mailing list for the members (responsible: Kryukov; will appds@theory.sinp.msu.ru ) action: sample names for the list!
   • Create a wiki page for internal matters (action: Dima!)
   • Think about a GIT-Hub as infrastructure
   • Sample a list of possible IT/physics conferences for KRAD (action: all)
2. Discussion on first actions/work plan for 2018:
   • In Russia: At the first stage (2018) the following works are planned:
     • to prepare an analytical review of modern scientific and technical literature;
     • to formulate general criteria for the functioning of the big data analysis system for astrophysical experiments and develop a list of the basic quantitative parameters of the system;
     • to develop a data description format for the KASCADE and TAIGA experiments and search and develop a method of aggregation of these data;
     • to develop a preliminary version of the particle type identification algorithm in the TAIGA experiment based on the machine learning method;
     • to develop the architecture of a system for storing, processing and analyzing big data of astrophysical experiments;
     • to develop a research stand on the basis of the KCDC system at SINP MSU to develop the proposed methods and algorithms;
     • to deploy the HubZero platform for filling it with educational materials for the preparation of students and graduate students in the field of particle astrophysics.
     • to prepare 3 articles for publication;
     • to prepare an interim report.
   • At KIT:
     • wp1 (KCDC extension): software extension of KCDC to include Tunka-related data
     • wp2 (Big Data Science Software): Run first jobs for KCDC or Tunka on a Tier/Grid environment (i.e. concept for Docker, Container, etc…)
     • wp3 (Multi-messenger Data Analysis): find/select 2 PhDs and define appropriate physics topics.
     • wp4 (go for public): define/create concept and design for KRAD webpages

Action: create a coherent working plan as preparation for the December meeting
