ICALEPCS'95

International Conference on Accelerator and Large Experimental Physics Control Systems

Associated Scientific Meetings

EPICS Collaboration Meeting

The next EPICS Collaboration Meeting will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Accelerator and Large Experimental Physics Control Systems (ICALEPCS) in Chicago. Some of our usual discussion items will be covered in the ICALEPCS proceedings as much of the work being performed by the collaborators will be presented at ICALEPCS. Be sure to attend the EPICS panel discussion, Session M3B, Monday at 1400.

This agenda has three parts:
EPICS Meeting Times and Topics
ICALEPCS Talks related to EPICS
Notes on the other meetings - software sharing meeting on Saturday & database meeting
There is no fee to attend and all evening activities are optional.

EPICS Agenda (with place holders for other meetings) - this needs some more material
- any interested persons????? CEBAF tools?????? Planned Observing?????
Please contact Bob Dalesio to be placed on the agenda. thanks.
