Summary Europe‘03 EPICS-2010 What will control systems Look like in 2010?

EPICS-2010 Summary Europe‘03 Why should somebody want to know this? Another crazy idea from Matthias? He‘s not allone... even worse!?

EPICS-2010 Summary Europe‘03 Why I think that it‘s important to think about EPICS 2010 Two little stories –Once upon a time... –Once upon another time...

EPICS-2010 Summary Europe‘03 The Synchronous-Put Proposal (How to get and set flavored CA data) ((Eric)) 1 st Step Reactions: 1.Do you really need this? 2.This is easy – just take a set of records... 3.We have solved this already. Our timing system... 4.I would write a sequencer...

EPICS-2010 Summary Europe‘03 The Synchronous-Put Proposal 2 nd Step It seems that we really do not have a solution for this problem. But I need new functionality in IOC-core! ->This might break existing applications<- --- yes you are right --- I need add ons in channel access to solve the problem! -> There‘s no funding for this <- -- true --

EPICS-2010 Summary Europe‘03 The Synchronous-Put Proposal 3 rd Step Is it not possible to get what has been implemented decades ago at LANCE, or SLAC, or Fermilab? Currently not! We have two problems: 1.Technical: There‘s currently no solution 2.We have no mechanism to handle such a problem and to find even a long term solution.

EPICS-2010 Summary Europe‘03 EPICS 2010 We are currently strong to make incremental steps –EPICS has reached a mature state (this way) –Nobody wants to change this! But Let‘s start to think about the long term future of EPICS Not: What is currently necessary? But: –What is necessary on the long run? –How can we get prepared for future technical trends?

EPICS-2010 Summary Europe‘03 How? A meeting –Such a group must be small –As many labs as possible should contribute –Get external expertise Three meetings (2 days each) 1.June 2003 (Europe) 2.October 2003(Asia) (Thursday/Friday before ICALEPCS) 3.Spring 2004 (USA)
