EPICS: A Retrospective on Porting iocCore to Multiple Operating Systems

Overview An important component of EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) is iocCore, which is the core software in the IOC (Input/Output Controller) front-end processors. At International Conference on Accelerator & Large Experimental Physics Control Systems (ICALEPCS) 1999 a paper was presented describing plans to port iocCore to multiple operating systems. At that time iocCore only supported vxWorks, but now it also supports RTEMS, Solaris, Linux, and WinNT. This paper describes some key features of how iocCore supports multiple operating systems.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
