The Collider Accelerator Department (C-AD) Controls Systems develops, improves, and maintains computer hardware and software for the computer networks that provides the control systems for the C-AD accelerator complex and R&D facilities.
Organization:
Controls Systems Head: Kevin Brown
Deputy Head: Ted D'Ottavio
The Controls Systems Section comprises two major groups, which develop and maintain computer hardware and software for the control system of the accelerator complex of the Collider-Accelerator Department:
- The Hardware Group,
with about 20 engineers and
technicians. This group comprises two subgroups:
- The Accelerator Controls
Group
- The Access Controls
Group
- The Software Group,
with about 20 software developers and
system administrators; This group is further subdivided into:
- The Systems
Administration Group - focus on computing
platforms and operating environment
- The Applications
Group - focus on console level software
- The FEC Software
Group - focus on software for access to
accelerator equipment
The software groups also have 8
teams which targeted at areas that deserve special interest,
particularly areas that span software group boundaries:
- Diagnostics and Reliability
- Database
- Data Analysis
- Performance
- Development Environment
- New Technologies and Practices
- Quality Assurance
- Cybersecurity
