Subject: BOY widgets and protocols other than Channel Access

Hi,

I'm wondering how flexible BOY and its widgets are concerning interprocess communication (IPC) protocols other than Channel Access.

We likely will use BOY for all our EPICS interfaces, and are considering using it for our experiment control interfaces as well (i.e. for our "ECS", following LHC nomenclature). Our experiment control and DAQ systems use IPC protocols other than CA, including some home-grown ones (e.g. the cMsg publish/subscribe package). Can BOY accept IPC plugins? Is CA implemented as a plugin or something analogous? Does BOY use a generic interface to connect to IPC packages that we can implement ourselves using our other IPC packages? Or is CA hard-wired in and difficult to disentangle from the core BOY code?

Any information and especially suggestions on how to proceed will be appreciated.

Thanks,

				Sincerely,
					Elliott
