******** Preliminary Program ********
The Software Sharing Workshop will include both oral presentations on
control system topics, and working sessions aimed at one particular
aspect of software sharing within the accelerator, astronomy, and
physics detector control communities.
Four working sessions are planned, covering:
1) Accelerator Device Standardization & Shareable Applications
2) CDEV Common DEVice framework: usage conventions, new proposals
3) Java: Sharing the most portable of software
4) Finite State Machines
Participants will be given an opportunity to take part in 2 of the 4
working groups, and invited and contributed talks will be given during
the plenary sessions on these topics to start the discussions going.
Monday Morning
Session 1: Distributed Computing
1. Invited talk on OLE - (working on speaker)
2. CDEV Overview - Chip Watson, JLAB
3. New CDEV Networking Extensions - Walt Akers, JLAB
4. (related contributions)
Session 2: What's Good and Shareable!
1. VME bus software standards - Wayne Koska, FNAL
2. (other contributions)
Monday Afternoon
Session 3: Standardizing accelerator device control
1. Reports & Talks from the Working Groups on
* standardizing device class/field/attribute definitions
* standardizing device status
* error reporting & logging
Parallel Working Groups:
Working Group 1: Accelerator Device Standardization
Animator: Franck DiMaio, CERN
* Experience using CDEV in building beam
steering software - Johannes van Zeijts, JLAB
* Development of standard definitions for common
accelerator components used by high level software,
including
accelerator specific classes (magnet, bpm, others)
Working Group 2: CDEV Developments/Extensions
Animator: Walt Akers, Jefferson Lab
* Propose and create detailed requirements for new
extensions to the cdev framework
* Discuss how to interface CDEV to existing systems
Tuesday Morning
Session 4: Graphics
1. Contributions on portable GUI applications
* EPICS tools ported to cdev: stripTool, alarm handler,
...
* new cdev tools: XACT, zplot, ...
* Motif widget libraries
* (other)
2. JDM: Java Display Manager - Chip Watson, JLAB
3. Experiences with Java in a large HEP detector
(speaker not confirmed)
Session 5: Finite State Machines
1. The EPICS state machine (speaker not confirmed)
2. (other state machines)
Tuesday Afternoon:
Parallel Working Groups:
Working Group 3: Java
Animator: Chip Watson, JLAB
* Develop requirements for java applets to interact with
a control system, including authentication, data flow
control, gateway architecture issues
* Work on collaboration framework for sharing java class
libraries
* Discuss collaborative development of JDM
Working Group 4: Finite State Machines
Animator: (tbd)
* Can we make a portable/shareable FSM?
* Is an existing program a good starting point?
Session 6: Reports from Working Groups
This session will allow time for further interaction on
working
group topics by all participants, perhaps organizing ongoing
working groups on a small number of topics.
