The NEMO system can be defined as a ''shared'', ''sustainable'', and ''state-of-the-art'' platform for research and operational oceanography.  This definition provides three recurrent streams to which is added a fourth stream related to a specific focus of the year.  The four stream of the work plan can therefore be presented as follows:

'''stream 0- Year Specific action''' : a specific and priority action for the current year. In 2011 the focus will be on coastal ocean applications

'''stream 1 - User Interface''' : ''shared'' = daily support to users, web & paper documentation, model user interface.

'''stream 2- Developer interface''' : ''sustainable'' = inscribed in a long term perspective: well thought internal model architecture and interfaces, in order to facilitate the system evolution.

'''stream 3- New features''' : ''state-of-the-art'' = development/implementation of improved physics and numerics coming from the NEMO community or from the NEMO team.

The 2011 actions plan is sum up  by stream and presented in more detail by institution :

== Validation ==
[https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/wiki/2011WP/Validation Summary of validation for the 2011 branch of the year (alpha release)]
== Ideas for the future: ==
As result from the discussions during the Developer's Committee (October 2010 at NOCS), some "ideas for the future" have been listed . These are not to be considered for 2011 workplan, but to be remembered for next years.

 * Working group to elaborate developments for  atmospheric pressure
 * Working group on developments for diffusion especially for s-coordinates
 * Working group on wave model coupling interface via OASIS (UKMO, INGV...)
 * Interest for sub ice-shelf modeling (UKMO)
