Project Organization & Some History ALSTOM-CERN contract with CERN purchasing ALSTOM’s design information. (2008) Concerns for the long-term availability of ALSTOM’s components; WorldFIP Taskforce set up. (2006) Project divided in different Work Packages: (2009) WP1: microFIP code preliminary interpretation (B. Todd & E. van der Bij) WP2: project management documentation for the in-sourcing (E. van der Bij) WP3: functional specifications for microFIP’s replacement (E. van der Bij) WP4: rewrite & extend microFIP VHDL code WP5: write new code (P. Alvarez & E. Gousiou) WP6: test bench creation (G. Penacoba) WP7: design of a board for functional and radiation tests (HLP, France ) WP8: Radiation tests (CERN RadWG & E. Gousiou) Taskforce conclusions: No technological alternative & in-sourcing of WorldFIP technology. (2007) 4
