The first workshop, "Enabling the Global Accelerator Network", at Cornell University, March 21-23, 2002, attended by 44 participants is summarized in a FINAL REPORT. The Cornell workshop laid out the basic concepts of the role that Remote Operations play in the achievement of a Global Accelerator Network.
A closely related one day workshop on the specialized topic of Collaboration Tools for the Global Accelerator Network was held at LBL on August 26, 2002, organized by Deb Agarwal. The purpose of the Berkeley meeting was to focus on collaborative tools for the GAN and to provide input regarding reasonable collaborative environments to the Remote Operations Workshop at Shelter Island. The intent of the meeting was to begin to explore the requirements, use cases, and collaborative tools available for use in the GAN environment. The meeting also developed a strawman proposal for the GAN collaborative tools environment. The final report from this workshop is available in PDF and DOC formats.

Discuss and evaluate concrete examples of Remote Operations Demonstration Projects for accelerators and experiments. Imagine that you are preparing to remotely operate an accelerator and/or an experiment that is NOT located at your laboratory. What are the tools, and the communication challenges? Accelerator and experimental facilities with active remote operations projects include:
2. Communication and Operations Communities
Bring together an eclectic mix of experts and skills from information technology, experimental physics, accelerator technology, and commercial enterprise, building on the success of the Cornell workshop, to explore the scope of remote operations solutions, as well as social and collaborative aspects of the subject. Include and consider the perspective of accelerator operations groups.
3. Engineering Designs for Remote Operations
Examine in more detail the remote operation of accelerator hardware subsystems, in both commissioning and routine operations. Will presently designed hardware (for example, power supplies and klystrons) perform well enough with the experts not present on site? What additional design features need to be built in? What level of engineering expertise is necessary on site to assure effective operation of the facility?
