EPICS: A control system software co-development success story

Process Control for Error-Free Software: A Software Success Story

cycle and miss the early warnings of the high-risk issues that eventually break or damage them.1 To reduce the risk of producing a poor-quality, late product, we created the State-Based Development Process, an approach based on systematic design and peer review. A small team at ITT Industries used this development process to create a critical system under high schedule and operational pressure ...

Development Status of Epics Application for Pls Computer Control System

The control system for Pohang Light Source (PLS) was designed about twelve years ago and has been working without serious problem so far. However, as the demand for the application programs for accelerator physics and data analysis increases, the present control system shows the lack of flexibility and control speed. To have faster and more flexible performance, we have decided to convert the c...

Epics Software Development for Sns Vme Based Timing and Rtdl System*

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) timing and Real Time Data Link (RTDL) systems are being designed and developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and other SNS collaborating labs [1]. The VME-based SNS timing system is comprised of a phase locked loop (PLL) to generate a 120 Hz power line locked clock, a master timing system including up to 4 16-e...

Polyolefins, a Success Story

This paper reports the principal discoveries which have played a major role in the polyolefin field and have positioned polyolefins as the most produced plastics. The early development of polyolefins covering the production of LDPE (Low density polyethylene) at ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries) and the discovery of Phillips or Ziegler-Natta catalysts are highlighted in the first section. In th...
