Managing the SLD Offline on a Shoestring via WWW

As a traditionally undermanned experiment, SLD has found it
necessary to automate as much of its offline machinery and
monitoring as possible. This includes all documentation,
user education, group communication, monitoring of local
and remote MC Farms, shift assignments, integrity of the
code and monitoring of the analysis cluster. Additionally,
monitoring of the data processing is performed on the web
by remote users. They can access statistics, plots and
event displays to ensure high data quality. The SLD web is
designed to be an all-encompassing tool that allows
maintenance of the offline system in good working order
by a small group of people.
