Open Discussion: "The Future of CAMAC" Wednesday, Jan. 23, at 10:30 AM in Chelsea
Room A
The purpose is to
initiate dialogue in the data acquisition and control community regarding
'survival techniques' as CAMAC infrastructures age, become obsolete or
unsupported, and show their limitations in the light of newer technologies. The
hope is that this dialogue would continue at future conferences and
meetings. Please see Dan Kellman of GA
for further information.
