Lines: 59 WORKSHOP ON ON-LINE APPLICATIONS OF TRANSPUTERS IN NUCLEAR AND HIGH-ENERGY PHYSICS Organized jointly by NIKHEF, Amsterdam and CERN 2 March 1990 CERN, Geneva, Switzerland Organising Committee A. Perrelle (Workshop Secretary)CERN e-mail perrelle@cernvm.cern.ch A. Bogaerts CERN e-mail bogaerts@cernvm.cern.ch R. Dobinson CERN e-mail bobdob@cernvm.cern.ch J. Vermeulen NIKHEF e-mail i73@nikhefh.nikhef.nl The purpose of the Workshop is to review the on-line use of transputers in Nuclear and High-Energy Physics, to improve our knowledge by the exchange of experience, to encourage collaboration and to discuss future applications in experiments. In addition, experts will be invited to present future plans and forthcoming developments of the transputer. Topics - Data-acquisition with transputers - Triggering with transputers - Monitoring / calibration with transputers - Experiment control with transputers Important issues for each topic: - Interfacing to front-end electronics - Configurations of the transputer system - Integration with host systems - Application software - The environment for application development - Debugging - Performance The organisation of the workshop is informal, with no charges for attendance, but we would like you to register before 19 February 1989 preferably by e-mail or in writing to Mme. A. Perrelle, Data Handling Division, CERN CH-1211 Geneva 23, tel. +41 22 767 2406 TELEX: 419000 FAX: +41 22 767 7155. Contributions are invited from all who are involved with transputer applications in Nuclear and High-Energy Physics. Please contact any member of the organizing committee for suggestions for topics to be discussed or send an electronic or paper proposal before 2 February 1990. Copies of the presentations, either papers or transparencies, will be made available to participants. The final program will be communicated to all who have expressed interest by e-mail if possible shortly after 2 February 1990. This announcement serves as an invitation to the workshop and a call for papers.
