21. QPS control project CERN, 26/08/15 Enrique Blanco, EN/ICE 21 EN/ICE prospects -Currently EN/ICE holds the control and supervision layers responsibility of the project -Reinforcement of the project by: -Supervision layer managed by a Staff member EN/ICE/SCD (already in charge of PIC) with a close backup of another staff working in the same domain and in charge of the LHC_Circuit project -Control layer: EN/ICE reunification for all FESA developments in EN/ICE/PLC. -These include other similar developments in terms of architecture and technology as the CRYOGENICS and SURVEY projects. -Expert team: 2 FELLs and 1 staff + 1 new staff to hire (long term stability for all RT developments) -The generation mechanism is almost aligned to any other UNICOS based project by the use of UAB (UNICOS Application Builder): Standardization -However EN/ICE is open to any reorganization which will demonstrate that is beneficial for the project
