Sent: Friday, February 21, 2025 12:17 PM To: tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov> Subject: History of EPICS Hi Everyone,
I am preparing a little introductory talk on EPICS, including a little history. I used the paper "EPICS: A Control System Software Co-Development Success Story" by Marty Knott et. al. But struggle to find something about the development past 1993. So I
hope some members of the community might be able to help. Here are some concrete questions:
1.) Who joined the EPICS collaboration after the JLab? (And when?) 2.) Apart from Kinetic Systems, Tate Integrated Systems, and Titan Corp., did anybody else buy the commercial license?
3.) When was the switch to the open license?
4.) Is there a timeline for the publishing of the versions?
5.) Are there some other important milestones, i.e. first version that runs on an x86?
This is not crucial to my talk, but it would be nice, if my history of EPICS would not abruptly stop after 1993.
Thanks,
Dr. Patrick Nonn
